Here’s the information you need to know. First of all, all children should put your names down at the desk, because you will be divided into several groups. Then, if you’re ready, preschool children will be going out of this front door and their parents should go together. Outside this door, you will see a flag as the marker for your area. There will be some helpers to direct you. If you are in the first to third grade, you’re going right outside that back door to search in the yard. The parents of this group are welcome to go with the children. Finally, the fourth graders, please, follow me down the hall through the double doors and to the other side of the center where you’ll be going to look for your gifts. There’s plenty for everyone.

Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?
A. Better housing. B. Medical treatment.
C. Further education. D. Public transportation.
25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?
A. By training medical professionals. B. By advocating financial aid.
C. By improving internet service. D. By offering clinical trials.
26. Which of the following can best describe Monica?
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Dedicated and responsible. D. Grateful and courageous.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A helper for cancer patients B. A push for progress
C. A pioneer for cancer treatment D. A hope for cancer patients
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】

She's worked throughout her career to change that.(在Wyoming州长大的她非常清楚农村地区缺乏医疗资源。癌症患者很难获得深入的护理。她的整个职业生涯都在努力改变这种状况。)”可知,在Wyoming州农村癌症患者最缺乏的是医疗资源和深入的医疗护理。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.(现在,Monica担任癌症合作组织联盟(CCCG)的副主席。CCCG是一个由个人组成的国际网络,通过增加对癌症临床试验的参与来提高癌症患者的生活质量和生存率。)”以及第四段“She said, ‘One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.’ The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive. (她说:‘真正重要的一件事是,我们正在努力确保癌症临床试验能够惠及我所在州每一位需要的患者。’该联盟在Wyoming州北部和南部设立了能够进行临床试验的站点。在这些试验开始之前,患者通常会去丹佛或盐湖城,车程三到七小时。)”可知,Monica通过提供临床试验来帮助癌症患者。故选D。
【26题详解】

It’s Paris Fashion Week and the streets of the city are filled with designers, models and journalists. Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected “trend forecasts”, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions.
But as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly powerful in the last decade, forecasting agencies are now turning to machine learning for help.
This is all welcome news for an industry worth about $2 trillion globally. Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions. Designers will produce more of what will actually sell——at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold. Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally.
But designers often feel insecure about relying just on the data provided by AI. “A few years ago, there were big indicators on social media of yellow being a trend,” says Francesca Muston, vice president of a trend forecasting company. “And if you had followed completely the social media data gathered by AI models, yellow pieces would seem to be a good investment. But how many people are really going to wear a bright yellow coat? That’s a brave fashion choice.” AI tools don’t have their own aesthetic (审美的) viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people’s desire for newness. “That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston
Dr Michal Koren, a researcher, ways, “The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data-driven models become more accurate.”
28. What is the purpose of the notes taken by the experts?
A. To report the news about Paris Fashion Week.
B. To help them make fashion predictions.
C. To compare different design methods.
D. To collect information about designers.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss?
A. The various benefits of using Al tools to predict trends.
B. The high environmental costs of the fashion industry.
C. The importance of looking at fashion more globally.
D. The serious problem of unsalable fashion products.
30. Why does Muston mention the trend of yellow predicted a few years ago?
A. To explain why people dislike some new trends.
B. To show AI fashion predictions are not always reliable.
C. To describe the recent changes in people’s fashion choices.
D. To prove the key role of social media in fashion forecasting.
31. Which statement might both Muston and Koren agree with?
A. Machine learning is more creative than human experts.
B. Many human trend forecasters will be unemployed.
C. It is possible for Al to have its own fashion sense.
D. AI tools will not replace human trend forecasters.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲人工智能正在时尚预测领域大显身手,不过由于它自身没有审美,所以它很难取代人类时尚预测专家。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected ‘trend forecasts’, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions.(在人群中,目光敏锐的专家们正在仔细地做笔记。他们的工作是发现新出现的趋势。他们的笔记将立即添加到选定的‘趋势预测’中,这些预测将出售给设计师,他们将用这些笔记来激发新作品的灵感。传统上,这些时尚预测者只依靠这些方法进行预测。)”可知,这些专家在巴黎时装周上记笔记的目的是帮助他们预测时装趋势。故选B项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第三段“This is all welcome news for an industry worth about $2 trillion globally. Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions. Designers will produce more of what will actually sell——at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold. Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally.(对于一个全球价值约2万亿美元的行业来说,这都是好消息。预测会对时尚行业的碳足迹产生重大影响,该行业至少占全球总排放量的4%。设计师将生产更多实际销售的产品——目前,25%的时尚产品滞销或滞销。此外,使用可以分析来自世界各地数百万条帖子的人工智能工具,设计师可以更全面地了解全球时尚趋势。)”中提供的数据和事实可知,本段论述了使用人工智能预测时装趋势的多种益处。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“AI tools don’t have their own aesthetic (审美的)viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people’s desire for newness. “That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston(人工智能工具没有自己的美学观点,因此可能无法满足人们对新鲜事物的渴望。穆斯顿说:‘这就是为什么我们与行业专家团队在预测中保持了非常强烈的创造性观点。’)”可知,Muston提到几年前预测的黄色调时尚趋势,是为了说明人工智能时尚预测有时候会不可靠。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,(这就是为什么我们与行业专家团队在预测中保持了非常强烈的创造性观点,)”和最后一段中“The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data-driven models become more accurate.(即使人工智能和数据驱动模型变得更加准确,人类专家在识别趋势方面的作用也将继续至关重要。)”可知,Muston和Koren都认为,人工智能工具不会取代人类时尚预测专家。故选D项。
D
Mislabeling is a worldwide issue, and it occurs when the species of fish you’re buying is not the one you actually receive.
Fish products often pass through multiple countries before they finally reach our table. Along the way, products can be misidentified as another species or intentionally renamed to make more profit. For instance, a cheap fish like tilapia may be given the name of a more expensive fish, like red snapper, or an endangered species might be passed off as an alternative that is doing better in numbers. These make it extremely hard to monitor their logistics (物流) processes.
To investigate this issue in Canada, we examined mislabeling market names in finfish (鳍鱼) products in Calgary between 2014 and 2020. We sampled 347 finfish products from Calgary restaurants. These samples were then genetically tested by using a species-specific marker called a DNA barcode.
In Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) maintains a Fish List that provides the acceptable common names for the labeling of fish. A seafood product was considered mislabeled if it was sold by using a name not found on the Fish List for the DNA-identified species. For instance, there is only one species that can be sold under the name salmon (鲑鱼) : Atlantic salmon. If sockeye salmon was sold as salmon without any other qualifier, it was considered mislabeled.
We’ve discovered that mislabeling runs rampant in Calgary and that certain product names are more likely to hide species of conservation concern. The result: up to one in five finfish was not as advertised. Several examples of mislabeling involved substituting an expensive product for a cheaper species: tilapia for snapper, rainbow trout for Atlantic salmon. While companies in places like Miami and Mississippi have faced fines for such practices, the global nature of fisheries makes legal action difficult. If you eat seafood, there is a chance that you could be misled as a consumer and end up eating threatened species. You can actually do something to reduce these possibilities.
32. What can we say about tracking fish products?
A. It’s unnecessary. B. It’s low-cost. C. It’s difficult. D. It’s time-bound.
33. What can be learned about the Fish List of the CFIA?
A. It provides fish options for restaurants. B. It lists all Canadian endangered species.
C. It encourages the mislabeling of fish. D. It has strict Canadian fish naming rules.
34. What does the underlined phrase “runs rampant” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Remains serious. B. Stops suddenly. C. Becomes expensive. D. Disappears soon.
35. What might the author continue talking about?
A. Ways to avoid buying mislabeled fish. B. More mislabeled endangered fish species.
C. History of mislabeling finfish products. D. Companies’ practices of mislabeling fish.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大鱼类产品乱贴标签的原因和现状。

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) maintains a Fish List that provides the acceptable common names for the labeling of fish. A seafood product was considered mislabeled if it was sold by using a name not found on the Fish List for the DNA-identified species.(在加拿大,加拿大食品检验局(CFIA)主张一份鱼类清单,为鱼类标签提供可接受的通用名称。如果一种海产品在出售时使用的名称没有出现在DNA经鉴定的鱼种的《鱼类清单》中,则被认为是贴错了标签)”可知,加拿大的《鱼类清单》有严格的鱼类名称规则。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“The result: up to one in five finfish was not as advertised. Several examples of mislabeling involved substituting an expensive product fora cheaper species: tilapia for snapper, rainbow trout for Atlantic salmon.(结果:多达五分之一的鱼和广告宣传的不一样。错误标签的几个例子包括用昂贵的产品代替便宜的品种:罗非鱼代替鲷鱼,虹鳟鱼代替大西洋鲑鱼)”以及划线词后文“that certain product names are more likely to hide species of conservation concern(某些产品的名字更有可能掩盖保护物种的重要性)”可知,鱼类产品贴错标签的现象十分严重。故划线词意思是“十分严重”。故选A。

Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first. ____36____ There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.

Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection.

____40____ Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy.

【答案】36. C 37. E 38. F 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以帮助你学习如何道歉的技巧。
【36题详解】
上文“Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first.(学习如何道歉与学习任何新行为类似。一开始可能会感觉别扭,可能没有被打磨好。)”指出学习道歉一开始可能会让你感到别扭,下文“There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.(当您学习如何道歉时,有一些技巧可以帮助您。)”指出有些技巧可以帮助您学习道歉,这说明通过学习就能学会如何道歉,C项“但通过练习,每个人都可以学会这样做。”符合,承上启下,故选C。
【37题详解】
上文“First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used.(首先,等到合适的时间和地点。尽管公开道歉通常是合适的,但仍应谨慎行事。)”指出公开道歉需要谨慎行事,要等到合适的时间和地点,空处承接上文,E项“大多数道歉可以而且应该在私人场合进行。”符合,具体介绍了在什么地点适合公开道歉,故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. (承认已经发生伤害的事实,然后对所发生的事情承担责任。真诚地表达你的遗憾,并表明你愿意对事情负责。)”可知,道歉时要承认已经发生伤害的事实,并承担自己的责任,这说明不要为自己找借口,要主动承担责任,修复问题,F项“换句话说,避免找借口并主动修复损坏。”符合,故选F。
【39题详解】
上文“Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance.(即使您遵循这些步骤,也要做好被拒绝的准备。有时,道歉的人期望道歉会立即得到原谅和接受。)”可知,要做好被拒绝的准备,道歉的人期望会立即得到原谅且被接受,但是原谅和接受是需要时间的,A项“原谅和接受可能需要时间。”符合,承接上文,故选A。
【40题详解】
此处是本段中心句,下文“Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.(知道什么时候闭嘴是一种美德。保持安静可能非常困难,因为道歉后倾听并不容易。我们可能会听到别人对我们自己的缺点提出不愉快的评论。我们可能会听到愤怒的表情。我们让别人知道我们真正对自己的错误负有责任和负责的方法之一是倾听对方倾诉与我们的行为相关的感受。)”可知,本段主要介绍道歉时要倾听别人,D项“倾听对我们道歉的回应很重要。”符合,故选D。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
People always say that with exercise, putting on your shoes is the hardest part. But for Emma, this was a lie. The real pain always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue she minded, it was the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. Back in primary school, she remembers her classmates asking her why her thighs (大腿) were so big and her chest so wide. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys—the loud, outspoken, popular kids. Although they could run faster than Emma, they preferred to jog a bit behind her, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself. One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore. She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, animation and fashion. You might be wondering about my scar. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone be so confident? Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At lunchtime, Emma was sitting at her usual table with a few other classmates when Kit walked over to them.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Friday, it was time for the fearful PE class, but this time, Kit was with her.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At lunchtime, Emma was sitting at her usual table with a few other classmates when Kit walked over to them. She enthusiastically asked to join them and sat beside Emma. Glances and whispers from others around them centered on Kit’s scar, and even Emma couldn’t avoid its puts. Yet, Kit didn’t seem bothered, engaging in lively chats as if nothing exile happening. Emma was intrigued by Kit’s indifference to the attention hers scar drew. Sensing her unease, Kit openly addressed the issue, sharing her experiences of accepting her scar and the significance of resilience against external judgments. Her words found an echo in Emma’s heart, inspiring her to embrace her true self.
On Friday it was time for the fearful PE class, but this time, Kit was with her. “Ready to jog?” called the teacher. Briefly halted by sidelong stares from the popular kids, Emma found her resolve with Kit’s encouraging words. Together they ran, with Kit’s smile a beacon a support. Laughter erupted while Kit’s “Ignore them!” rang out, empowering Emma. As the wind raced alongside them, Emma ran, outrunning the jeers and the part of herself overly concerned with the opinions of others. At the finish, Emma, although physically tired, had gained new found strength, discovering that true confidence comes from within, not from others’ words. In the sun’s embrace, the two girls walked together talking and laughing.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了Emma在体育课上的痛苦经历,她因为体型较大而遭到同学的嘲笑和排挤。然而,当她班上来了一位新同学Kit时,一切都发生了变化。Kit虽然脸上有一道疤痕,但她却非常自信和开朗,她的自我介绍让Emma感到惊讶和敬佩。Kit的出现让Emma开始重新思考自己的态度和价值观。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“午饭时,Emma和其他几个同学坐在她常坐的那张桌子旁,Kit朝他们走了过去。”可知,第一段可描写Kit要求加入Emma她们并且分享了自己接受伤疤的经历。
②由第二段首句内容“星期五,到了可怕的体育课的时间,但这一次,Kit和她在一起。”可知,第二段可描写Emma在Kit的帮助下,克服了对体育课的恐惧,并收获了友谊。
2.续写线索:Kit加入Emma她们——伤疤引起注意——Kit分享接受伤疤经历——Emma得到共鸣——Emma和Kit一起跑步——感悟

Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?
A. Better housing. B. Medical treatment.
C. Further education. D. Public transportation.
25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?
A. By training medical professionals. B. By advocating financial aid.
C. By improving internet service. D. By offering clinical trials.
26. Which of the following can best describe Monica?
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Dedicated and responsible. D. Grateful and courageous.
27. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A helper for cancer patients B. A push for progress
C. A pioneer for cancer treatment D. A hope for cancer patients

It’s Paris Fashion Week and the streets of the city are filled with designers, models and journalists. Among the crowds, eagle-eyed experts are taking careful notes. Their job is to detect emerging trends. Their notes will instantly be added to selected “trend forecasts”, which will be sold to designers, who will use them to inspire new pieces. Traditionally, these fashion forecasters have relied only on such methods to make predictions.
But as artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly powerful in the last decade, forecasting agencies are now turning to machine learning for help.
This is all welcome news for an industry worth about $2 trillion globally. Forecasts can have a big influence on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, which is responsible for at least 4% of all worldwide emissions. Designers will produce more of what will actually sell——at the moment, 25% of fashion products are unsalable, or not sold. Besides, using AI tools that can analyze millions of posts from around the world allows designers to look at fashion trends more globally.
But designers often feel insecure about relying just on the data provided by AI. “A few years ago, there were big indicators on social media of yellow being a trend,” says Francesca Muston, vice president of a trend forecasting company. “And if you had followed completely the social media data gathered by AI models, yellow pieces would seem to be a good investment. But how many people are really going to wear a bright yellow coat? That’s a brave fashion choice.” AI tools don’t have their own aesthetic (审美的) viewpoint so they may not be able to satisfy people’s desire for newness. “That’s why we maintain a very strong creative viewpoint in our forecasting with a team of industry experts,” says Muston
Dr Michal Koren, a researcher, ways, “The role of human experts in identifying trends will continue to be crucial even as AI and data-driven models become more accurate.”
28. What is the purpose of the notes taken by the experts?
A. To report the news about Paris Fashion Week.
B. To help them make fashion predictions.
C. To compare different design methods.
D. To collect information about designers.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss?
A. The various benefits of using Al tools to predict trends.
B. The high environmental costs of the fashion industry.
C. The importance of looking at fashion more globally.
D. The serious problem of unsalable fashion products.
30. Why does Muston mention the trend of yellow predicted a few years ago?
A. To explain why people dislike some new trends.
B. To show AI fashion predictions are not always reliable.
C. To describe the recent changes in people’s fashion choices.
D. To prove the key role of social media in fashion forecasting.
31. Which statement might both Muston and Koren agree with?
A. Machine learning is more creative than human experts.
B. Many human trend forecasters will be unemployed.
C. It is possible for Al to have its own fashion sense.
D. AI tools will not replace human trend forecasters.
D
Mislabeling is a worldwide issue, and it occurs when the species of fish you’re buying is not the one you actually receive.
Fish products often pass through multiple countries before they finally reach our table. Along the way, products can be misidentified as another species or intentionally renamed to make more profit. For instance, a cheap fish like tilapia may be given the name of a more expensive fish, like red snapper, or an endangered species might be passed off as an alternative that is doing better in numbers. These make it extremely hard to monitor their logistics (物流) processes.
To investigate this issue in Canada, we examined mislabeling market names in finfish (鳍鱼) products in Calgary between 2014 and 2020. We sampled 347 finfish products from Calgary restaurants. These samples were then genetically tested by using a species-specific marker called a DNA barcode.
In Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) maintains a Fish List that provides the acceptable common names for the labeling of fish. A seafood product was considered mislabeled if it was sold by using a name not found on the Fish List for the DNA-identified species. For instance, there is only one species that can be sold under the name salmon (鲑鱼) : Atlantic salmon. If sockeye salmon was sold as salmon without any other qualifier, it was considered mislabeled.
We’ve discovered that mislabeling runs rampant in Calgary and that certain product names are more likely to hide species of conservation concern. The result: up to one in five finfish was not as advertised. Several examples of mislabeling involved substituting an expensive product for a cheaper species: tilapia for snapper, rainbow trout for Atlantic salmon. While companies in places like Miami and Mississippi have faced fines for such practices, the global nature of fisheries makes legal action difficult. If you eat seafood, there is a chance that you could be misled as a consumer and end up eating threatened species. You can actually do something to reduce these possibilities.
32. What can we say about tracking fish products?
A. It’s unnecessary. B. It’s low-cost. C. It’s difficult. D. It’s time-bound.
33. What can be learned about the Fish List of the CFIA?
A. It provides fish options for restaurants. B. It lists all Canadian endangered species.
C. It encourages the mislabeling of fish. D. It has strict Canadian fish naming rules.
34. What does the underlined phrase “runs rampant” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Remains serious. B. Stops suddenly. C. Becomes expensive. D. Disappears soon.
35 What might the author continue talking about?
A. Ways to avoid buying mislabeled fish. B. More mislabeled endangered fish species.
C. History of mislabeling finfish products. D. Companies’ practices of mislabeling fish.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first. ____36____ There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.
First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used. ____37____ Remember, you will be raising a topic that may recall a bad experience or bad feelings. Be respectful as you approach this task.
Be direct and brief in your approach. Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. ____38____
Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance. ____39____ If you think of the offense (冒犯) as an emotional bruise (瘀伤), think of the healing process as the color changes we see as a bruise heals.
____40____ Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.
A. Forgiveness and acceptance may take time.
B. To give or receive a good apology is an art.
C. But with practice, everyone can learn to do it.
D. Listening to the response to our apologies is important.
E. Most apologies can and should happen in a private setting.
F. In other words, avoid excuses and offer to repair the damage.
G. Taking responsibility doesn’t mean accepting blame for everything.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
People always say that with exercise, putting on your shoes is the hardest part. But for Emma, this was a lie. The real pain always started when all the students were gathered on the track, ready to run. It wasn’t the fatigue she minded, it was the looks others gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. Back in primary school, she remembers her classmates asking her why her thighs (大腿) were so big and her chest so wide. On the outside, she looked big, but on the inside, she felt as small as a pea. And PE class was when she felt at her smallest.
Not all her classmates made her feel uncomfortable, though. It was mainly a group of girls and boys—the loud, outspoken, popular kids. Although they could run faster than Emma, they preferred to jog a bit behind her, bursting out in laughter every now and then, commenting on how Emma jogged.
Just one more year, Emma kept telling herself. One more year and I’ll have graduated and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore. She just wanted to survive it.
But everything changed when a new girl called Kit joined the class. She had short, jet-black hair, bright eyes, and a long scar across the left side of her face. Her entrance into the classroom that day was met by dozens of curious eyes.
Although their teacher, Ms Hardy, didn’t ask Kit for a personal introduction, upon putting her bag down on her desk, Kit rose, saying, “Hi, everyone, nice to meet you, I’m Kit. I love boxing, animation and fashion. You might be wondering about my scar. I got it when I was young when I fell off my bike. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt more seriously. It’s now like a cool trademark of all the adventures I had as a kid.”
After Kit’s introduction, Emma simply sat there, her heart pounding and mouth wide open. How could someone be so confident? Even the popular kids were sitting there in shock.
