Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. “Honesty is the best policy” is a common saying, but in many situations, people do not want to hear the truth. Whether it’s a fact of life that they ___21___ were otherwise or a criticism of their behavior, everyone has truths that they want to ignore. These truths are called truth bombs, especially when they are told in a ___22___ way. This comparison shows that truth can cause damage if not handled well. Sometimes we drop truth bombs out of anger. We may ___23___ our words by saying that we need to express our emotions or to help the other person change their ways. But often we use the truth as a(n) ___24___ to make the other person feel bad and to repay them for what they did. Truth bombs rarely lead to productive discussion because they cause a ___25___ reaction. The receiver may ___26___ the criticism or counter it with a truth bomb of their own. Truth bombs also often fail to represent the whole truth. Anger can make it difficult to see the big picture, leading to an ___27___ misrepresentation of the truth. Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths. Pretending that problems do not ___28___ can weaken trust just as much as dropping truth bombs can. And failing to address problems in relationships can lead to hatred, which may ___29___ boil over into conflict. But it is possible to ____30____ truth without turning it into a bomb. Here are some ways to do that: ● Pay attention to timing. It is often helpful to give the person some advance ____31____ so they have time to mentally prepare. ● Ask questions. Don’t make ____32____ about people’ s motivation, but ask them the reasons for their actions. Also ask if there are problems that are ____33____ their mistakes that you could help with. These questions will help you grasp the situation more fully, and the recipient may accept the criticism more easily. ● Be as specific as possible about the problem.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. 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） “______”, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock. There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university, and the academic work is just the start. There are new friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a completely new city to explore. We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone wander through the web of hallways that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world. The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around an artificial forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning. So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to enjoy some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: * Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorising a speech in the library, or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there. * Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip. * Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’ re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualise exactly how you’ll get out. 36. “______” in the first paragraph should be filled with ______. A. You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown B. You’ll unlock your amazing memory with the right visual aids C. You should have a consultation with a memory expert D. You can’t improve your memory without the external help 37. The writer shares the daughter’s story in the beginning to ______. A. put the readers in the center of the episode B. introduce the topic in an accessible way C. explain the complex concept through comparison D. remind people why they go to university 38. What can be inferred about the recent study? A. The researchers were not satisfied with the experiment result. B. The volunteers were chosen for their strong memory. C. Its purpose was to prove that leaving home to study makes sense. D. The conducted experiment confirmed the previous assumption. 39. What do the three recommended things have in common? A. They stimulate the senses through the visualization process. B. They require a high level of critical thinking ability. C. They involve venturing into unfamiliar places or new things. D. They emphasize the combination of learning with recreation. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了探索未知环境能显著提升脑力，新环境刺激多巴胺系统有助学习，建议通过不同路径学习、玩探索类游戏、想象脱困新城市等方式锻炼大脑。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据空格后的“says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock.(我们的记忆专家Jonathan Hancock说道。)”可知，此处为记忆专家所说的话，结合及第四段中的“The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory.(对Evie——以及世界各地的学习者来说，好消息是，探索新环境对记忆能力有着巨大的益处。)”和第五段中的“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning.(研究人员表示，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统，从而为学习做好了大脑的准备。)”可知，探索未知环境可以提升记忆力和学习能力，由此可知，A选项“You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown(如果你勇敢面对未知，你会增强脑力)”与研究结果吻合，符合记忆专家所说的话，符合语境。故选A项。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone wander through the web of hallways that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world.(最近，我们驱车150英里将女儿艾薇送到大学，开始她的新生生活。找到停车场已经很困难了，更不用说穿过通向她房间的迷宫般的走廊。那天晚上我们离开前，带她去了当地的超市，并且知道她有室友和手机应用程序来帮助她适应环境。但前方的挑战显而易见——她需要在一个陌生的世界中找到自己的方向。)”可知，作者分享女儿去陌生环境，开始她的新生活，她的前方会有很多的挑战，需要在一个陌生的世界找到自己的方向，结合第四段中的“The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory.(对Evie——以及世界各地的学习者来说，好消息是，探索新环境对记忆能力有着巨大的益处。)”可知，作者在开头通过讲述送女儿去大学的经历，引出了“探索新环境对记忆有益”的主题，这种方式通过一个贴近生活的例子让读者更容易理解主题。故选B项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning.(研究人员表示，这是因为探索新环境刺激了他们的多巴胺系统，从而为学习做好了大脑的准备。)” 可知，实验结果证实了研究人员的假设，即探索新环境能刺激多巴胺系统，从而促进学习和记忆。故选D项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后推荐的三件要尝试的事情“Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorising a speech in the library, or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there.( 去一个陌生的地方完成即将进行的学习任务，比如在图书馆背诵演讲稿，或在公园长椅上复习考试内容，并选择一条不熟悉的路线前往那里。)”、“Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes.(玩一些让你穿越新场景的视频游戏。)”和“Get lost in your imagination!(在想象中迷失自己！)”可知，这三件事情（去陌生地方完成学习任务、玩视频游戏探索新场景、在想象中迷失于未知区域）都涉及探索未知或新事物的主题。故选C项。 （B） HIGHLY COMMENDED CHARITY RSPCA Established, trustworthy, caring.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两个备受赞誉的慈善机构——RSPCA和Guide Dogs，包括它们的工作内容、成就、社会影响以及公众对它们的评价。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容“Across the country, the RSPCA also educates the community on animal welfare and responsible pet ownership, and advocates for changes in policy and practice that improve the welfare of animals. “Every day, we’re reminded just how crucial the community’s trust is for our work. Australians trust us to care for animals, to investigate animal cruelty when it occurs, to provide advice on how to care for our pets, and to push for laws and practices that better protect animals.”(在全国范围内，皇家防止虐待动物协会还向社区宣传动物福利以及负责任的宠物饲养理念，并倡导政策和实践方面的变革，以改善动物的福利状况。“每一天，我们都深刻意识到，社区的信任对于我们的工作是何等关键。澳大利亚民众信任我们能够照顾好动物，在虐待动物事件发生时进行调查，就如何照顾宠物提供建议，以及推动制定更好地保护动物的法律和实践措施。”)”可知，RSPCA的工作包括倡导政策变革以改善动物福利，了解选项C“How can the RSPCA ensure that the advocated policies are justified?( RSPCA如何确保所倡导的政策合理)”，能深入了解其在政策倡导方面的具体做法和考量，与已有的问题 2“如何平衡动物护理和政策倡导”相呼应，有助于全面了解 RSPCA 在实现使命过程中政策方面的举措，可加入列表。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“For over 60 years, Guide Dogs Australia has been transforming the live sof people with low vision or blindness. To achieve this, trust must be at the heart of everything we do; from the trust our clients place in us to provide the support and care they need, to the trust between a Guide Dog Handler and their Guide Dog. (60多年来，澳大利亚导盲犬协会一直在改变视力低下或失明人士的生活。为实现这一目标，信任必须成为我们一切工作的核心——从我们的客户对我们提供所需支持和照顾的信任，到导盲犬训练员与他们的导盲犬之间的信任。)”以及“Her beloved Guide Dog, Dessau, has given Melaine back her independence and their journey has been characterized by adaptability and a determination to break down barriers.(她心爱的导盲犬Dessau让Melaine重新获得了独立，她们的旅程充满了适应性和打破障碍的决心。)”可知，澳大利亚导盲犬协会通过导盲犬让视力低下或失明的人重获独立。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。对于RSPCA，文中提到““And we know that we have to work tirelessly to maintain that trust-including by ensuring that our animal care, prevention, education and advocacy efforts are firmly backed by science and evidence,” says Richard Mussell, CEO of RSPCA Australia.(“我们明白，我们必须不懈努力来维护这种信任——包括确保我们在动物照料、预防、教育和倡导方面的工作得到科学和证据的有力支持。”澳大利亚皇家防止虐待动物协会首席执行官Richard Mussell表示。)”，强调了社区信任对其工作的重要性以及要努力维持信任。而对于Guide Dogs Australia，文中提到“To achieve this, trust must be at the heart of everything we do; from the trust our clients place in us to provide the support and care they need, to the trust between a Guide Dog Handler and their Guide Dog. This trust also extends to the community whose generosity and faith in the work we do is helping to transform lives every day.(为实现这一目标，信任必须成为我们一切工作的核心——从我们的客户对我们提供所需支持和照顾的信任，到导盲犬训练员与他们的导盲犬之间的信任。这种信任还延伸到社区，社区对我们工作的慷慨支持和坚定信念，每天都在助力改变人们的生活。)”则指出信任是其一切工作的核心。所以两个组织都将信任视为其运作中的关键部分。故选D。 （C） On farms all over the country, even the most traditional ones, thought is being given to the possibilities of AI. For the moment, artificial intelligence isn’t making much of an impact on the daily lives of most British farmers. But the way AI can transform agriculture in the near future is very much a reality in universities and research labs. My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and log its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness. Meanwhile, in my home county, work is underway to ensure that the upcoming generation of farmers isn’t left behind. In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns. This would have sounded like science fiction in the 1950s, but now, 70 years on, I’m encouraged that tomorrow’s farmers are being armed with the know-how to succeed in the new digital age. Naturally, there are concerns about what all this might mean for the countless number of people who depend on farming for their livelihood. Soft fruit and seasonal veg are extremely tender and need an army of pickers and packers who may find themselves replaced at some point by the sort of standard precision-robots that have been trialled on a strawberry farm. In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labour gap. It’s worth saying that this technology will need a whole new set of workers to produce the hardware, input new data and then install, maintain, repair and replace systems and kit. So don’t despair but do consider upskilling. Since the Industrial Revolution, every generation of farmers has had to deal with the technological changes of the day and they have successfully adapted to survive. Who knows! AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be embraced by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing. 43. What did the author discover during his visit to the lab? A. AI has made automation a reality in the dairy industry. B. AI has helped most British farmers to closely monitor cows. C. AI is being developed to improve cow health through behavior analysis. D. AI is primarily being used to transform universities and labs across Britain. 44. What is the focus of the course in Agricultural Technology at the RAU? A. The role of traditional methods in enhancing crop productivity. B. The development of AI in agricultural practices in the UK. C. The ways climate change affects global food security. D. The impact of AI on boosting farming efficiency and productivity. 45. What can be inferred about the introduction of AI in agriculture from the third and the fourth paragraphs? A. It will lead to widespread unemployment. B. It will eliminate the need for human labor completely. C. It may help address the labor shortage issue. D. It doesn’t affect the nature of seasonal workers. 46. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in agriculture? A. Suspicious. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Concerned. 【答案】43. C 44. D 45. C 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨人工智能（AI）在农业领域的应用现状与未来前景，包括智能奶牛监测、农业技术教育、劳动力替代问题以及作者对AI农业化的积极态度。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and log its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness.(在参观一个实验室时，我的眼界被打开了，在那里，奶牛在一个创新的‘智能’奶牛场中被自动监控。人工智能正在学习识别每一头奶牛并记录其行为。然后，它分析数据，警告任何疾病的迹象。)”可推知，在作者所参观的一个实验室里的，人工智能正在学习识别奶牛、记录奶牛行为、并通过分析数据预警疾病迹象；由此可知，作者在参观实验室时发现实验室正在开发通过行为分析改善奶牛健康的人工智能。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns.(几周后，皇家农业大学（RAU）的新来的学生将开始他们的农业技术课程，这门课程的核心是人工智能在使农业在不断变化的天气模式下更有效、更多产和更适应性方面的作用。)”可推知，皇家农业大学（RAU）农业技术课程的重点是AI对提升农业效率和生产力的影响。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labour gap.(近年来，许多地方一直在努力雇佣和留住季节性工人，因此，人工智能可能只是为令人担忧的劳动力缺口提供了答案，而不是制造失业。)”可推知，AI可能有助于解决劳动力短缺问题。故选C。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be embraced by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing. (人工智能很可能只是一长串挑战中最新的一个，这些挑战将被适应能力强、精神充沛的农民所接受。任何能让我不用在收获季节日夜查看天气预报的事情都是好事。)”可知，作者对AI节省人力，如免于日夜查看天气预报积极评价，因此推断作者对人工智能在农业上的应用持乐观态度。故选B。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully.

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. Urban Green Spaces: A Necessity, Not a Luxury Urban green spaces play a vital role in improving the quality of life in cities. Studies have shown the various benefits brought about by green spaces. For example, research from the University of Exeter found that people living near green spaces reported higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. However, many cities are facing the challenge of preserving these spaces due to rapid urbanization. In some areas, parks are being replaced by commercial buildings or housing projects to meet the growing demand for space. Meanwhile, the tendency to cut funding for the maintenance of urban green spaces is becoming increasingly common. For example, in Liverpool, UK, budget cuts led to reduced maintenance in parks, with less frequent tree trimming and litter collection. These short-sighted approaches ignore the long-term benefits of green spaces, such as their ability to combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and reducing urban heat. For instance, during heatwaves, urban areas with more greenery can be significantly cooler than those without, providing a natural solution to rising temperatures. Moreover, green spaces support biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife, which are crucial for maintaining ecological balance. Cities like New York and London have demonstrated the value of green spaces. Central Park in New York serves as a vital green lung for millions of residents, offering recreational areas, supporting biodiversity, and improving the city’s overall environment. Similarly, London’s Hyde Park is a hub for community events, jogging, and cycling, contributing to the city’s cultural and social life. These examples highlight how green spaces can enhance urban living while addressing environmental challenges. It is high time that governments acknowledged the significance of investing in the preservation of green spaces. Only by integrating green spaces into city designs can we create truly habitable and sustainable urban environments, ensuring that every resident has access to nature. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Urban green spaces enhance city life, but rapid urbanization threatens their preservation. Cutting maintenance funding and replacing green spaces with commercial buildings are short-sighted, which ignore their long-term benefits like combating climate change and supporting biodiversity. Some cities have shown parks’ benefits for recreation and social life. Governments should prioritize their preservation to ensure citizens’ access to nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，城市绿地提升了城市生活，但快速的城市化威胁着它们的保护。削减维护资金和用商业建筑取代绿色空间是短视的，这忽视了它们的长期利益，如应对气候变化和支持生物多样性。一些城市已经显示出公园对娱乐和社交生活的好处。政府应该优先保护它们，以确保公民能够接触大自然。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①Urban green spaces play a vital role in improving the quality of life in cities. ②However, many cities are facing the challenge of preserving these spaces due to rapid urbanization. ③Meanwhile, the tendency to cut funding for the maintenance of urban green spaces is becoming increasingly common. ④Moreover, green spaces support biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife, which are crucial for maintaining ecological balance. ⑤Central Park in New York serves as a vital green lung for millions of residents, offering recreational areas, supporting biodiversity, and improving the city’s overall environment. ⑥Similarly, London’s Hyde Park is a hub for community events, jogging, and cycling, contributing to the city’s cultural and social life. ⑦Only by integrating green spaces into city designs can we create truly habitable and sustainable urban environments ensuring that every resident has access to nature. 2.缜密构思 将第1、2、3、4、5、6几个要点进行重组，将第7要点进行整合。 3.遣词造句 Urban green space promoted urban life, but rapid urbanization threatens their protection.

But often we use the truth as a(n) ___24___ to make the other person feel bad and to repay them for what they did. Truth bombs rarely lead to productive discussion because they cause a ___25___ reaction. The receiver may ___26___ the criticism or counter it with a truth bomb of their own. Truth bombs also often fail to represent the whole truth. Anger can make it difficult to see the big picture, leading to an ___27___ misrepresentation of the truth. Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths. Pretending that problems do not ___28___ can weaken trust just as much as dropping truth bombs can. And failing to address problems in relationships can lead to hatred, which may ___29___ boil over into conflict. But it is possible to ____30____ truth without turning it into a bomb. Here are some ways to do that: ● Pay attention to timing. It is often helpful to give the person some advance ____31____ so they have time to mentally prepare. ● Ask questions. Don’t make ____32____ about people’ s motivation, but ask them the reasons for their actions. Also ask if there are problems that are ____33____ their mistakes that you could help with. These questions will help you grasp the situation more fully, and the recipient may accept the criticism more easily. ● Be as specific as possible about the problem. Avoid sweeping statements and generalizations that use terms such as “____34____” and “never.” By presenting truth and addressing problems in a constructive way, you can strengthen relationships and avoid the emotional ____35____. 21.

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） “______”, says our memory expert, Jonathan Hancock. There’s a lot to cope with when you go off to university, and the academic work is just the start. There are new friends to meet, new opportunities to choose between, new responsibilities to accept... and, for most students, a completely new city to explore. We recently drove our daughter Evie 150 miles to start life as a fresher. It was a struggle to find the car park, let alone wander through the web of hallways that led to her room. Before we left that evening, we’d taken her to the local supermarket, and we knew that she had flatmates and phone apps to get her orientated. But the scale of the challenge ahead was clear — to find her way in an unfamiliar world. The good news for Evie — and learners everywhere — is that exploring new habitats is hugely beneficial for memory. In a recent study, volunteers walked around an artificial forest environment. Then some of them took the same walk again, while others explored a different forest. And that second group performed significantly better in memory tests straight after. According to the researchers, that was because exploring the new environment stimulated their dopamine system setting up their brains for learning. So leaving home to study for a degree makes perfect sense. What’s more, young minds seem to gain most from being in strange surroundings. But we may all be able to enjoy some of the benefits, even if it’s just by stimulating our senses and challenging our thinking skills. Here are three things to try: * Go somewhere new to tackle an upcoming learning task-like memorising a speech in the library, or revising for an exam on a park bench — and take an unfamiliar route to get there. * Play video games that get you moving through new landscapes. Then see whether it improves your success with other learning tasks, like practising a dance or mastering phrases for a foreign trip. * Get lost in your imagination! To warm yourself up for learning, picture a city you know well, but imagine you’ re stranded in a part of it that you’ve never visited. Then try to visualise exactly how you’ll get out. 36. “______” in the first paragraph should be filled with ______. A. You’ll boost your brainpower if you brave the unknown B. You’ll unlock your amazing memory with the right visual aids C. You should have a consultation with a memory expert D. You can’t improve your memory without the external help 37. The writer shares the daughter’s story in the beginning to ______. A. put the readers in the center of the episode B. introduce the topic in an accessible way C. explain the complex concept through comparison D. remind people why they go to university 38. What can be inferred about the recent study? A. The researchers were not satisfied with the experiment result. B. The volunteers were chosen for their strong memory. C. Its purpose was to prove that leaving home to study makes sense. D. The conducted experiment confirmed the previous assumption. 39. What do the three recommended things have in common? A. They stimulate the senses through the visualization process. B. They require a high level of critical thinking ability. C. They involve venturing into unfamiliar places or new things. D. They emphasize the combination of learning with recreation. （B） HIGHLY COMMENDED CHARITY RSPCA Established, trustworthy, caring. FEMALE,40-49, WA ▂ Admire what they do for animals.

For the moment, artificial intelligence isn’t making much of an impact on the daily lives of most British farmers. But the way AI can transform agriculture in the near future is very much a reality in universities and research labs. My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and log its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness. Meanwhile, in my home county, work is underway to ensure that the upcoming generation of farmers isn’t left behind. In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns. This would have sounded like science fiction in the 1950s, but now, 70 years on, I’m encouraged that tomorrow’s farmers are being armed with the know-how to succeed in the new digital age. Naturally, there are concerns about what all this might mean for the countless number of people who depend on farming for their livelihood. Soft fruit and seasonal veg are extremely tender and need an army of pickers and packers who may find themselves replaced at some point by the sort of standard precision-robots that have been trialled on a strawberry farm. In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labour gap. It’s worth saying that this technology will need a whole new set of workers to produce the hardware, input new data and then install, maintain, repair and replace systems and kit. So don’t despair but do consider upskilling. Since the Industrial Revolution, every generation of farmers has had to deal with the technological changes of the day and they have successfully adapted to survive. Who knows! AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be embraced by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing. 43. What did the author discover during his visit to the lab? A. AI has made automation a reality in the dairy industry. B. AI has helped most British farmers to closely monitor cows. C. AI is being developed to improve cow health through behavior analysis. D. AI is primarily being used to transform universities and labs across Britain. 44. What is the focus of the course in Agricultural Technology at the RAU? A. The role of traditional methods in enhancing crop productivity. B. The development of AI in agricultural practices in the UK. C. The ways climate change affects global food security. D. The impact of AI on boosting farming efficiency and productivity. 45. What can be inferred about the introduction of AI in agriculture from the third and the fourth paragraphs? A. It will lead to widespread unemployment. B It will eliminate the need for human labor completely. C. It may help address the labor shortage issue. D. It doesn’t affect the nature of seasonal workers. 46. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in agriculture? A. Suspicious. B. Optimistic. C Neutral. D. Concerned.

With a career that spans four decades, Guzy has documented humanitarian crises around the world, from the 2010 earthquake in Haiti to conflicts in the Middle East. ___47___ Eventually, with the stability that her career gave her, she was able to take a film photography class. When her first print developed in a darkroom tray, she says she experienced that “defining moment” people speak of when they’ve just discovered what they will spend the rest of their life pursuing. From there, Guzy took classes in photo journalism and secured newspaper traineeships while in school. For Guzy, photography has always been calling, not a job. ___48___ And in the age of misinformation, there is great power in a universal language we all can understand.

For example, her work shows the pain of the disabled in a way that moves people. Ⅲ．summary writing 51. 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. Urban Green Spaces: A Necessity, Not a Luxury Urban green spaces play a vital role in improving the quality of life in cities. Studies have shown the various benefits brought about by green spaces. For example, research from the University of Exeter found that people living near green spaces reported higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction. However, many cities are facing the challenge of preserving these spaces due to rapid urbanization. In some areas, parks are being replaced by commercial buildings or housing projects to meet the growing demand for space. Meanwhile, the tendency to cut funding for the maintenance of urban green spaces is becoming increasingly common. For example, in Liverpool, UK, budget cuts led to reduced maintenance in parks, with less frequent tree trimming and litter collection. These short-sighted approaches ignore the long-term benefits of green spaces, such as their ability to combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and reducing urban heat. For instance, during heatwaves, urban areas with more greenery can be significantly cooler than those without, providing a natural solution to rising temperatures. Moreover, green spaces support biodiversity by providing habitats for wildlife, which are crucial for maintaining ecological balance. Cities like New York and London have demonstrated the value of green spaces. Central Park in New York serves as a vital green lung for millions of residents, offering recreational areas, supporting biodiversity, and improving the city’s overall environment. Similarly, London’s Hyde Park is a hub for community events, jogging, and cycling, contributing to the city’s cultural and social life. These examples highlight how green spaces can enhance urban living while addressing environmental challenges. It is high time that governments acknowledged the significance of investing in the preservation of green spaces. Only by integrating green spaces into city designs can we create truly habitable and sustainable urban environments, ensuring that every resident has access to nature. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅳ．Translation Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 52. 这条骑行路线沿海岸线绵延约560公里，提供多种难度级别。（stretch）(汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. 人性化设计和功能使这些环保型家居用品备受欢迎。（What）(汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. 更新后的招生政策彰显了这所大学在提升学生群体质量和多样性上的不懈努力。（evidence）(汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. 恰如古语所云，未曾领略冬之凛冽，无法感知春之和煦，这体现了冬去春来、季节交替真谛。(correspond)(汉译英) ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ．Guided Writing 56.
