As I passed my 50th birthday, I couldn’t help but reflect on my long-held dream of becoming a psychotherapist (心理治疗师). In my younger years, I had attempted to take some classes at the local community college, but life’s challenges and responsibilities made it difficult to continue. Eventually, I gave up on my dream, thinking it was too late.
Then, one day, I came across a quote by George Eliot: “It’s never too late to become what you might have been.” These words struck a chord with me and relighted my hope. I decided to give it another try.
At 51, I enrolled in college and began my journey. I worked hard, balancing my studies with my other responsibilities. My efforts paid off when I won a partial scholarship to a four-year college. At 55, I graduated with honors and was accepted into a master’s program. It seemed like my dream was finally within reach.
However, life had other plans. During a routine check-up, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor (脑瘤). The doctors said it was inoperable and gave me about a year to live. This news was shocking, but I refused to give up. I sought a second opinion and found a doctor in Los Angeles who believed he could help. The surgery was risky, but I decided to go through with it.
The recovery was incredibly tough. I had double vision, lost hearing in one ear, and couldn’t walk without help. Despite these challenges, I was determined to continue my studies. I set up a small desk in my bedroom and continued my master’s program from bed. For three years, I studied diligently, driven by my passion to help others.
Now, I am a certified psychotherapist running my own private practice. My journey has taught me that no matter what challenges you face or how old you are, it’s never too late to become what you might have been.

C. Considerate and kind-hearted. D. Independent and talented.
7. What does the author want to tell us?

B. Health is more important than success.
C. People can achieve their dreams at any age.
D. Education is the key to achieving dreams.

When Martin Roth began his career as a forest keeper in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the name “digital forest guardian” in the German forestry community.
Speed and efficiency: After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking. Damaged trees T need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which breed (繁殖) in dead trees and can go on to devastate entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground.
A digital reality: Since most of his work can now be done on a mobile device, Roth is spending more time outdoors. His most recent project is combining body camera with AI. By “looking” through his body camera, AI automatically recognizes the tree species he has marked and estimates(评估) the amount of wood it will produce, sending the information to his phone in real time.
Preparing for the future: Up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended drought periods, so Roth has begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small batches and keeping track of them in his system. With a forest continuously changing, there are dozens of areas that need interventions(干预) at different times, and there are not enough employees to keep it all straight. He says, “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost.”
8. Why is Roth called “digital forest guardian”?
A. Because he works faster than others.
B. Because he spends more time outdoors.
C. Because he doubles the size of the forest.
D. Because he uses high-tech in forest management.
9. What does the underlined word “devastate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Protect. B. Destroy. C. Reduce. D. Develop.
10. What does the last sentence in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Roth thinks he can deal with all forest management tasks alone.
B. The computer has completely replaced humans in forest management.
C. Forest management is no longer important due to the shortage of employees.
D. Roth stresses the importance of human knowledge or digital means in his work.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Role of Drones in Modern Forestry
B The Impact of Climate Change on Forests
C. From Forest Keeper to “Digital Forest Guardian”
D. High-Tech Solutions to Forest Management
D
Do you feel angry when you hear someone chewing loudly or tapping their fingers? If so, you may have misophonia. For people with this condition, normal sounds like chewing or sniffing (抽鼻子) aren’t just annoying—they are unbearable. Scientists are trying to understand why this happens and how to help those who suffer from it.
Misophonia means “hatred of sound”. It makes everyday noises feel like a big threat. Imagine trying to study with the sound of birds outside your window or people clicking pens in class. These sounds can make it hard to focus and even cause a strong response.
One theory about misophonia is that it comes from our brain’s ability to detect hidden dangers. In the past, being alert to small sounds might have helped our ancestors survive. But today, this same ability can make harmless noises feel terrible. People with misophonia can’t ignore these sounds like others can. Their brains think the sounds are harmful and keep paying attention to them.
Misophonia also has connections with other conditions like depression and anxiety. Sometimes it appears after a bad experience, and it can run in families. However, scientists still don’t know exactly what causes it.
There is no simple test for misophonia, but doctors use questionnaires (问卷) to see how serious it is. One common tool is the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ), which helps find out if the condition is affecting daily life, such as work, school, or relationships.
Since there is no cure for misophonia, treatment focuses on managing symptoms. Many patients use noise-canceling headphones or white noise to block out the sounds that bother them. Others try cognitive behavioral therapy (疗法) (CBT).
CBT for misophonia is not like exposure therapy, which forces people to face their fears. Instead, it is adapted to what the patient can handle. It helps reduce self-blame and change negative thoughts. Research shows that CBT can help about a third to half of patients feel better.
12. How does misophonia affect people’s daily life?
A. It improves relationships. B. It causes physical pain.
C. It leads to loss of focus. D. It betters hearing ability.
13. What is the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ) used to do?
A. Test seriousness. B. Manage symptoms.
C. Cure misophonia. D. Prevent misophonia.
14. What can we infer from the treatment for misophonia?
A There is a clear cure for misophonia.
B. Treating misophonia only requires emotional support.
C. Noise-canceling headphones are the most effective method.
D. Different methods are used to manage misophonia symptoms.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. It discusses the history of misophonia research.
B. It introduces new treatments for sound sensitivity.
C. It focuses on understanding and managing misophonia.
D. It examines the impact of misophonia on mental health.

As I passed my 50th birthday, I couldn’t help but reflect on my long-held dream of becoming a psychotherapist (心理治疗师). In my younger years, I had attempted to take some classes at the local community college, but life’s challenges and responsibilities made it difficult to continue. Eventually, I gave up on my dream, thinking it was too late.
Then, one day, I came across a quote by George Eliot: “It’s never too late to become what you might have been.” These words struck a chord with me and relighted my hope. I decided to give it another try.
At 51, I enrolled in college and began my journey. I worked hard, balancing my studies with my other responsibilities. My efforts paid off when I won a partial scholarship to a four-year college. At 55, I graduated with honors and was accepted into a master’s program. It seemed like my dream was finally within reach.
However, life had other plans. During a routine check-up, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor (脑瘤). The doctors said it was inoperable and gave me about a year to live. This news was shocking, but I refused to give up. I sought a second opinion and found a doctor in Los Angeles who believed he could help. The surgery was risky, but I decided to go through with it.
The recovery was incredibly tough. I had double vision, lost hearing in one ear, and couldn’t walk without help. Despite these challenges, I was determined to continue my studies. I set up a small desk in my bedroom and continued my master’s program from bed. For three years, I studied diligently, driven by my passion to help others.
Now, I am a certified psychotherapist running my own private practice. My journey has taught me that no matter what challenges you face or how old you are, it’s never too late to become what you might have been.

When Martin Roth began his career as a forest keeper in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the name “digital forest guardian” in the German forestry community.
Speed and efficiency: After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking. Damaged trees T need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which breed (繁殖) in dead trees and can go on to devastate entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground.
A digital reality: Since most of his work can now be done on a mobile device, Roth is spending more time outdoors. His most recent project is combining body camera with AI. By “looking” through his body camera, AI automatically recognizes the tree species he has marked and estimates(评估) the amount of wood it will produce, sending the information to his phone in real time.
Preparing for the future: Up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended drought periods, so Roth has begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small batches and keeping track of them in his system. With a forest continuously changing, there are dozens of areas that need interventions(干预) at different times, and there are not enough employees to keep it all straight. He says, “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost.”
8. Why is Roth called “digital forest guardian”?
A. Because he works faster than others.
B. Because he spends more time outdoors.
C. Because he doubles the size of the forest.
D. Because he uses high-tech in forest management.
9. What does the underlined word “devastate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Protect. B. Destroy. C. Reduce. D. Develop.
10. What does the last sentence in the last paragraph suggest?
A. Roth thinks he can deal with all forest management tasks alone.
B. The computer has completely replaced humans in forest management.
C. Forest management is no longer important due to the shortage of employees.
D. Roth stresses the importance of human knowledge or digital means in his work.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Role of Drones in Modern Forestry
B. The Impact of Climate Change on Forests
C. From Forest Keeper to “Digital Forest Guardian”
D. High-Tech Solutions to Forest Management
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Martin Roth作为森林管理员,在面对气候变化所带来的挑战时,如何利用高科技手段来管理和保护森林。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the name “digital forest guardian” in the German forestry community.(而如今,随着气候变化,这份工作更多地变成了为充满不确定性的未来做规划。Roth说:“这份工作已经变成了灾害管理。”对于Roth来说,德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的那3000 英亩森林,同时也是各种高科技解决方案的试验场,这也让他在德国林业界赢得了“数字森林守护者”的称号。)”可知,对于Roth来说,德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的3000英亩森林是各种高科技解决方案的试验场,他因在森林管理中使用高科技而在德国林业界赢得了“数字森林守护者”的称号。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Damaged trees T need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which breed (繁殖) in dead trees and can go on to devastate entire forests.(受损的树木需要在小蠹虫到来之前被清理掉,因为小蠹虫会在枯树中繁殖,进而可能会……整片森林。)”可知,受损的树木需要在小蠹虫到来之前被清理掉,小蠹虫会在枯树中繁殖,并且会继续对整片森林造成某种影响。结合前文提到需要清理受损树木以免小蠹虫带来危害,可知小蠹虫对森林是有破坏作用的。选项B“destroy”,意为“破坏”,与此相符。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With a forest continuously changing, there are dozens of areas that need interventions(干预) at different times, and there are not enough employees to keep it all straight. He says, “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost.”(由于森林在不断变化,有数十个区域在不同的时间需要进行干预,然而却没有足够的员工来全面掌握这些情况。他说:“要么我了解这些情况,要么电脑了解这些情况,否则如果没人了解,这些信息就会丢失。”)”可知,由于森林在不断变化,有许多区域在不同时间需要干预,然而员工数量不足,无法全面掌握所有情况。Roth说要么他了解这些情况,要么电脑了解这些情况,否则没人了解这些信息就会丢失。因此,文章最后一段最后一句话表明了Roth强调在他的工作中人类知识或数字手段的重要性。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇讲述了Martin Roth在20世纪80年代开始作为森林管理员的工作内容,主要是照料森林以确保其持续发展。随着气候变化,他的工作转变为灾害管理,他利用高科技(如无人机、人工智能与随身摄像头结合等)进行森林管理,从而在德国林业界获得了“数字森林守护者”的称号。后文具体介绍了他运用高科技进行森林管理的方式。选项C“From Forest Keeper to “Digital Forest Guardian”(从森林管理员到“数字森林守护者”)”准确地概括了Martin Roth工作角色的转变,以及他在新角色中利用高科技进行森林管理的核心内容,符合文章主旨。故选C。

Do you feel angry when you hear someone chewing loudly or tapping their fingers? If so, you may have misophonia. For people with this condition, normal sounds like chewing or sniffing (抽鼻子) aren’t just annoying—they are unbearable. Scientists are trying to understand why this happens and how to help those who suffer from it.
Misophonia means “hatred of sound”. It makes everyday noises feel like a big threat. Imagine trying to study with the sound of birds outside your window or people clicking pens in class. These sounds can make it hard to focus and even cause a strong response.
One theory about misophonia is that it comes from our brain’s ability to detect hidden dangers. In the past, being alert to small sounds might have helped our ancestors survive. But today, this same ability can make harmless noises feel terrible. People with misophonia can’t ignore these sounds like others can. Their brains think the sounds are harmful and keep paying attention to them.
Misophonia also has connections with other conditions like depression and anxiety. Sometimes it appears after a bad experience, and it can run in families. However, scientists still don’t know exactly what causes it.
There is no simple test for misophonia, but doctors use questionnaires (问卷) to see how serious it is. One common tool is the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ), which helps find out if the condition is affecting daily life, such as work, school, or relationships.
Since there is no cure for misophonia, treatment focuses on managing symptoms. Many patients use noise-canceling headphones or white noise to block out the sounds that bother them. Others try cognitive behavioral therapy (疗法) (CBT).
CBT for misophonia is not like exposure therapy, which forces people to face their fears. Instead, it is adapted to what the patient can handle. It helps reduce self-blame and change negative thoughts. Research shows that CBT can help about a third to half of patients feel better.
12. How does misophonia affect people’s daily life?
A. It improves relationships. B. It causes physical pain.
C. It leads to loss of focus. D. It betters hearing ability.
13. What is the Duke Misophonia Questionnaire (DMQ) used to do?
A. Test seriousness. B. Manage symptoms.
C. Cure misophonia. D. Prevent misophonia.
14. What can we infer from the treatment for misophonia?
A. There is a clear cure for misophonia.
B. Treating misophonia only requires emotional support.
C. Noise-canceling headphones are the most effective method.
D. Different methods are used to manage misophonia symptoms.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. It discusses the history of misophonia research.
B. It introduces new treatments for sound sensitivity.
C. It focuses on understanding and managing misophonia.
D. It examines the impact of misophonia on mental health.
