However,(26) physical danger and emotional suffering might be ahead,Kai was determined to give back to China.He eventually donated the album to the Consulate General of China in Chicago.In response,he received a gin,a tea jar,(27)was present at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala as an introduction to one of the shows.In the letter addressed to him,the Consulate General of China wrote,"The war crimes against the Chinese people(28)(commit)by Japanese troops during the Japanese aggression of China in 1930s-1940s were among the darkest pages in human history.History serves as a mirror for the people today and your donation certainly helps inspire everyone with a kind heart to safeguard peace." Two years after making the donation,Kai went on a two-month trip to China,visiting Beijing.Tianjin,Shanghai, Nanjing,Heilongjiang,and Wuhan,the last stop he received his Gala invitation,making him the first American ever invited.He hoped that he (29)be an ambassador of cross-cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Their aesthetic is usually soothing,minimalist and domestic.Hands with shiny nails hold iced coffees;nondescript figurcs lic in cozy bedrooms.Some accounts may show flccting glimpses of an influcncer's 32.But all hide their identitics as much as possible. On TikTok some 200,000 posts are tagged Faceless;they have a combined 1.1bn views. Facebook groups such as "Girls Gone Faceless"boast over 100,000 members.Faceless creators have the same 33followings as traditional influencers.The only dierene is that their followers are fascinated with their lifestyle, not their34life. Social media and influencer culture have always emphasized personal identity.But viewers are now seeking out these invisible influencers.Removing identity markers has made faceless influencing a more35space,because the content is ncutral.This often means it is more 36,because audiences can imagine themselves there. Two things changed to give rise to the new faceless trend.One was the success of Asia's unnamed "silent vloggers", whose cinematic videos of daily life while 37at home during the pandemic went viral.The second was the desire of people to make money as influencers without devoting their whole lives to it. Faceless influencers may be thriving today,but they are not immune to38.Some wonder whether they are more likely to be displaced by those that use artificial intelligence to create content cheaply.There is also the risk of imitation by other influencers."It can be challenging to differentiate myself since there's no physical identity 39,so it's important for me to always add a personal 40,such as a playful tone in my captions",says Ms.Ortega. But there is no guarantee of success.After all,faceless influencers'biggest competition is not other creators but the recommendation algorithm-the most important invisible influencer of them all.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B.C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg)had skipped the lunch the morning of January 17,1973.She was afraid she would throw up.Wearing her mother's pin and earrings,like a soldier suiting up for battle,RBG stood alone in front of nine stone-faced men and asked them to do somcthing they had until then refused to do:recognize that the Constitution banned sex discrimination. All oral arguments at the Supreme Court begin the same way:"Mr.Chief Justice,may it please the court."You can listen to the recording of RBG speaking these words,how at first they came out a little shakily.It was her first time arguing before the court. To still the queasiness in her stomach,she had memorized the opening sentence.She told the justices about Sharron Frontiero,an air force lieutenant whose husband,Joseph,had been denied the same housing,medical,and dental benefits as other military spouses,simply because Sharron was a woman and Joseph was a man. Fourteen months earlier,the court had ruled on the case of an Idaho woman denied the right to administer her dead son's estate because she was a woman.The justices said in *Reed v.Reed*that the state couldn't automatically assume men were better equipped to handle an estate than women.But they had left unsettled the broader question of whether discriminating on the basis of sex was almost always unconstitutional.RBG took a deep breath and told the justices they had to finish the job they started. The state law in *Reed*and the federal one she challenged that day in *Frontiero v.Richardson*,RBG argued, drew on"the same stereotype".The man is or should be the independent partner in a married unit.The woman,with an occasional exception,is dependent,sheltered from bread-winning experience." Suddenly,she felt the ground steady under her.These men,the most important judges in the country.were her captive audience for the next ten minutes.RBG knew so much more about the case and the topic than they did.She had to teach them.She knew how to do that.RBG had been teaching law for almost a decade. 56.What are the charactcristics possessed by RBG based on Para.I to Para.3? A.Awkward but caring. B.Nervous but strict. C.Guilty but determined. D.Tricky but empathetic. 57.The job should have been finished in *Reed v.Reed*case by justices is A.to stop regarding men as better handlers of an estate than women B.to cquip independent women to obtain real cstate C.to deny a woman's right to administer her dead son's estate D.to judge the discrimination on the basis of sex was illegal 58.“The same stercotype”RBG challenged is A.the woman is regarded as a dependent partner in the marriage B.the man can escape the responsibility for supporting family C.the man is lucky to be spared the pressures of the real world D.the woman deserves the same standing in the world as the man 59.What is the best title for this selection? A.A Lawsuit against Gender Bias B.Human Dignity and Equal Justice Under law C.Women's Progress on the Bench D.Stereotype of Women Misunderstood (B) Of Special Interest to Freshman Freshman Seminars are small classes just for freshmen, Directed Studies is a selective freshman interdisciplinary with some of York's most distinguished faculty members. program focusing on Western civilization that includes Some scminars provide an introduction to a particular three yearlong courscs-litcrature,philosophy,and ficld of study;others take an interdisciplinary approach to historical and political thought-in which students read a variety of topics.All seminars provided a friendly the foundational works of the Western tradition. environment for developing relationships with faculty members and peers.

A.The one who has already got a novel published. B.A medalist of the International Mathematical Olympiad. C.The one who has designed an original cngincering project. D.An applicant for York's Scientific Community. (C) Why isn't science better?Look at career incentives() There are often substantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good.Government officials are supposed to work for their voters.Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and insightful analysis.And scicntists are supposcd to study the fabric of reality with the most strict and skeptical of methods. All too often,however,what should be just isn't so.In a number of scientific fields,published findings tum out not to replicate ()or to have smaller effects than,what was initially claimed.Plenty of scicnce docs replicate- mcaning the experiments tumn out the same way when you repcat them-but the amount that docsn't is too much for comfort. But there are also ways in which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong.Running studies with small samples,mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment's results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries. It's not like we don't know how to do better.Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades.Unfortunately,their advice often falls on deaf ears.Why?Why aren't scientific methods better than they are?In a word:incentives.But perhaps not in the way you think. In the 1970s,psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making.For example,when public schools are evaluated by students'performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching"to the test".In tumn,the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test. Science is a competitive enterprise..There are far more credentialed(投以i证书的)scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions.Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared.How do you tell if someone is a good scientist? An oft-used metric (is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals,as well as the status of those journals.Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different..Unfortunately,,this also makes these numbers susceptible(易受影响的)to exploitation.If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals,we might expect them to actively try to game the system 子) However,most scientists are,I believe,genuinely interested in leaming about the world,and honest.The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals. 63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Scientists are expected to be devoted to exploring reality. B.The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect. C.Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments'results. D.The amount of science that does replicate is comforting. 64.What does deaf ears in the fifth paragraph probably refer to? A.The public. B.The incentive initiators. C.The peer researchers. D.The high-impact journal cditors. 65.Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A.Good scicntists excel in sccking resources and sccuring rescarch positions. B.Competition for resources pushes rescarchers to publish in a more productive way. C.All the credentialed scholars and researchers will take up university professorships. D.The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited. 66.According to the author,what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scicntific research? A.High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication. B.The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud. C.Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system. D.Carcer incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention. Section C(每题2分，共8分) Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in cach blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.The simplicity masks deeper layers. B.This is Mario those who grew up with Nintendo know best. C.Yes,you really can play onc-handed. D There's no way around it. E And for years,the company simply refused. F.However,not cveryone likes its design. Mario on an iPhone?It works This was not supposed to happen.For years,fans had tried to persuade Nintendo,a Japanese company,to put Mario on smartphones.67Until Dec.15,when Nintendo released Super Mario Run,for Apple iPhones and iPads.The bigger surprise?Super Mario Run is excellent. 68 He is still the plumber who dashes from left to right across fields of grassy blocks,rivers of coins and so on.The difference is that Mario moves automatically as soon as a level loads,animated by an algorithm.Instead of controlling Mario directly,players tap to interrupt his motion and make more imaginative choices.A quick rap )makes Mario hop,while a longer one boosts him twice as high.If you need to clear a crack,tap midair and he'll pirouette(竖班旋转)，lying a bit further.It's intuitive. 69Tap near a wall or when landing on blocks painted with reverse arrows,for instance,and Mario springs backward,Ictting you break the game's onc-wayness.It's a smart,less-is-more design that plays to the strengths of touchscreen gaming without sacrificing precision. For all its hesitance in cmbracing smartphones and tablets,Nintcndo sccms to have had no trouble designing software for them. There is one fairly serious problem with Super Mario Run:the game works only with an active Internet connection. Sever (that and the game throws up an error screen._70This means you can't play Super Mario Run on a planc without paying for wi-fi.You're out of luck for the part of your subway commute that involves cell-scrvice dropouts. Other than that,Super Mario Run impresses in ways sure to convince that designing games on smartphones is still a rapidly cvolving-and improving-art form. IV.Summary(共10分) Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. Is renting clothes greener than buying them? Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shoppers.But is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it,and if so,how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Clinc investigated this qucstion and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it scems. Take shipping,for example,which has to go two ways if an item is rented-recciving and returning.Clinc writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing. She writes,"An item ordered online and then retumed can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way,and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping.By comparison,the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchascd from a physical storc and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms,according to a 2015 study by Levi's." Then there's the burden of washing,which has to happen for every item when it's returned,regardless of whether or not it was worn.For most rental services,this usually means dry cleaning,a high impact and polluting process.All the rental services that Cline looked into have used perchloroethylene(氟乙烯)，a carcinogenic(玫a的)air pollutant that is still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners,with hydrocarbon alternatives,although these aren't great either. Lastly,Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion,simply because it's so easily accessible.There's something called "share washing"that makes people engage in more wasteful behaviors precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco-friendly.Uber is one example of this,advertised as"a way to share rides and limit car ownership."and yet "it has been proven to discourage walking.bicycling,and public transportation use." Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears,but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied.There's an even better step-and that's wearing what is already in the closet.
