Sixty-year-old Chinese grandmother Su Min didn’t intend to become a hit. She was only trying to escape her husband when she hit the road in 2020 in her white car with a rooftop tent. “I felt like I could finally catch my breath,” she says, recalling the moment she drove away from her old life.
Over the next four years and 180, 000 miles, the video diaries she shared of her adventures earned her millions of supporters online. They called her the “road-tripping auntie” as she turned into a hero for women who felt trapped in their own lives. Her story is now a hit film that was released in September and she became one of the inspiring and influential women of 2024.
If she had to describe what 2024 meant to her in a single word, she says that word would be “freedom”. “As soon as I started driving, she felt freer,” as Su Min told the media over the phone from Shenyang. But it wasn’t until 2024, when she finally applied for divorce (离婚), that she experienced “another kind of freedom”
It took a while to get there: it was a complex process in China and her husband refused to divorce her until she agreed to pay him and she was still waiting for the divorce certificate to come through. She was firm that she didn’t want to look back: “I’m saying goodbye to him.” In January, 2025, she got divorced from her husband.
Although she drives alone, she never seems lonely. She chats with her followers as she films her journey, sharing what she has been cooking, how she spent the previous day and where she’s going next. Her audience travels with her to many places — Xinjiang’s snow-capped mountains, Yunnan’s ancient river towns, sparkling blue lakes, vast grasslands, endless deserts and so on.
4. Why did Su Min become famous online?
A. She starred in her new film. B. Her trip videos inspired her followers.
C. She spent a large sum of money herself. D. She wrote a lot of diaries about her life.
5. What does the word “freedom” mean to Su Min?
A. Driving a car alone. B. Becoming a film actress.
C. Earning money from her videos. D. Freeing herself from her previous life.
6. Why does Su Min “never seem lonely” during her travels?
A. She has a lovely pet. B. She visits crowded cities.
C. She calls her husband daily. D. She talks with her followers.
7. Which of the following best describes Su Min?
A. Dishonest. B. Impatient. C. Adventurous. D. Selfish.

An earthquake killed at least 95 people and left 130 injured after it struck a remote area of southern Tibet near China’s border with Nepal at dawn on Tuesday, Chinese state media reported.
Emergency responders were still assessing (评估) the damage in Dingri county from the quake, which struck at 9: 05 a. m. Beijing time, state broadcaster CCTY said. The US Geological Survey put the quake at 7.1 magnitude (震级). Earlier reports from Chinese media graded it as 6.8 magnitude.
The quake brought down more than 1,700 homes in a county that is home to60, 000 people, according to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s Tibet Military Command. The broader Shigatse, at the center of the quake, is the second-largest city in Tibet.
Some 1,500 firefighters were searching the collapsed (倒塌的) buildings for signs of life. Around noon, a child was rescued from a residential building, CCTV reported. Several hundred rescuers who arrived before noon began providing medical aid and relief to homeless residents. Another team, involving hundreds of rescuers and six helicopters, was expected to follow.
Sitting high on the Tibetan plateau at a height of 14,100 feet and 236 miles from the regional capital of Lhasa, Dingri is a major stop on the way to the North Base Camp, where adventurers set out climbing Mount Everest from the north face. The region can be bitterly cold in January, with temperatures often dropping as low as -15℃. Local tourism officials on Tuesday closed the North Base Camp until further notice.
A Dingri resident told local media that the shaking at first felt similar to the massive 2008 earthquake in neighboring Sichuan province that claimed 70,000 lives. Then the second floor of his house caved in and destroyed his car, said a man known only by his family name, Wang.
Past earthquakes that hit mountainous Tibetan regions of western China have drawn public concern about badly constructed homes in relatively poor and lonely villages.

A team of scientists from Columbia University has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called the General Expression Transformer (GET). This tool can predict how genes inside cells control their behavior. The breakthrough could help researchers better understand diseases like cancer and genetic disorders. It may also lead to new treatments designed for specific cells.
The scientists trained GET using methods similar to those behind ChatGPT, the popular language AI. While ChatGPT learns grammar and language rules, GET has learned how genes work — like turning on or off like a light switch or adjusting activity levels like a volume knob (音量旋钮). This process, called gene expression, decides which proteins a cell makes and in what amounts. Proteins are vital for nearly every body function, from fighting infections to moving and thinking.
Though still new, GET could become as important as AlphaFold2, an AI system that predicts protein shapes. AlphaFold2 won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and has been updated to AlphaFold3. Both gene regulation(studied by GET) and protein structure(studied by AlphaFold) are important to life.
“Biology is becoming a predictive science,” said Raul Rabadan, a study author and director of Columbia’s Program for Mathematical Genomics. “We’ re witnessing a revolution (变革).”
Mark Gerstein, a Yale professor not involved in the study, noted that scientists have spent 15 — 20 years collecting data to predict gene behavior. GET uses this data to analyze genes faster and more effectively. While other scientific groups have trained models using abnormal cells such as those found in different cancers, Xi Fu, a graduate student in Rabadan’s lab, decided to train GET using information from cells in normal human tissue. The training used data from more than 1. 3 million cells, covering 213 different types found in the human body.
In the future, this breakthrough could help doctors design personalized treatments by predicting how a patient’s genes might respond to therapies. While more research is needed, GET represents an exciting step toward unlocking the mysteries of life.
12. How is GET different from ChatGPT?
A. It fights infections. B. It learns how genes work.
C. It won a Nobel Prize. D. It focuses on language rules.
13. What made AlphaFold2 famous?
A. Curing genetic disorders in patients. B. Analyzing data from 1. 3 million cells.
C. Discovering many new types of human cells. D. Winning a Nobel Prize for predicting protein shapes.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of GET?
A. Subjective. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An AI system predicts protein shapes. B. AI model is trained to predict gene activity.
C. Scientists is comparing GET with ChatGPT. D. The AI tool helps cure abnormal human cells.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家开发了一种人工智能工具,可以用来预测细胞内的基因如何控制它们的行为。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“While ChatGPT learns grammar and language rules, GET has learned how genes work — like turning on or off like a light switch or adjusting activity levels like a volume knob (音量旋钮).(ChatGPT学习的是语法和语言规则,GET学习的是基因的工作原理——就像电灯开关一样打开或关闭,或者像音量旋钮一样调节活动水平)”可知,GET与ChatGPT的不同在于GET学习基因是如何工作的。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Though still new, GET could become as important as AlphaFold2, an AI system that predicts protein shapes. AlphaFold2 won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and has been updated to AlphaFold3.(虽然还是个新事物,GET可能会变得和AlphaFold2一样重要,AlphaFold2是一种预测蛋白质形状的人工智能系统。AlphaFold2获得了2023年诺贝尔化学奖,现已更新为AlphaFold3)”可知,因预测蛋白质形状而获得诺贝尔奖让AlphaFold2出名。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While more research is needed, GET represents an exciting step toward unlocking the mysteries of life.(虽然还需要更多的研究,但GET代表了解开生命奥秘的令人兴奋的一步)”可知,作者对GET的未来持积极态度。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A team of scientists from Columbia University has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called the General Expression Transformer (GET). This tool can predict how genes inside cells control their behavior. The breakthrough could help researchers better understand diseases like cancer and genetic disorders. It may also lead to new treatments designed for specific cells.(哥伦比亚大学的一组科学家开发了一种名为通用表达式转换器(GET)的人工智能工具。这个工具可以预测细胞内的基因如何控制它们的行为。这一突破可以帮助研究人员更好地了解癌症和遗传疾病等疾病。它还可能导致针对特定细胞设计的新疗法)”,结合文章主要说明了科学家开发了一种人工智能工具,可以用来预测细胞内的基因如何控制它们的行为。可知,B选项“训练AI模型预测基因活性”最符合文章标题。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
If you’re a regular user of social media apps — Face-book, Instagram or Threads — that means you’ll no longer see warnings on posts marked as untrue. If you’re worried about accidentally being cheated by posts that aren’t true, make sure to consume information wisely. ____16____
Listen to your gut (直觉), then do the opposite.
The number one way to avoid being cheated by posts on social media is to consider how it makes you feel. If it brings about a strong emotional reaction like anger, anxiety, fear or even joy, that’s a sign it may be untrue. ____17____ When you meet misinformation, the biggest factor in whether you are cheated is when you want it to be true.
Don’t use AI when looking for the truth.
If you want to see if a post is true, do not ask Meta’s built-in AI bot or other AI options. If you’re doing a quick Google search, scroll past its AI Overview section on top and instead seek out known, trustworthy sources. AI tools can make things up and frequently don’t source where information comes from. ____18____
____19____
Don’t let a Facebook group be your go-to source for the day’s news, unless you know. Use tools that are designed for getting real news from their original sources.
____20____ If it’s a post by someone you know, don’t be afraid to ask them where they got their information.
A. Look elsewhere for the truth.
B. Don’t assume things were factual before.
C. Here’s how to find the truth on social media.
D. Another good sign is that you want to believe it.
E. There were also limitations on what could even be checked.
F. This makes it impossible to trace claims back to their origins.
G. Try to trace anything you’re not sure about to its original source.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了如何在社交媒体上找到真相,旨在帮助读者明智地在各平台使用信息。
【16题详解】
上文“If you’re worried about accidentally being cheated by posts that aren’t true, make sure to consume information wisely. (如果你担心不小心被不真实的帖子欺骗,一定要明智地使用信息。)”指出,本文作者建议读者明智地使用信息。而下文两个小标题“Listen to your gut (直觉), then do the opposite. (听从你的直觉,然后做相反的事情。)”和“Don’t use AI when looking for the truth. (寻找真相的时候不要使用人工智能)”可知,下文给读者提出了两个具体的建议,故可推断出空格位置为承上启下的过渡句。选项C“Here’s how to find the truth on social media. (以下是关于如何在社交媒体上找到真相。)”能起到承上启下的作用。故选C项。
【17题详解】
上文“If it brings about a strong emotional reaction, like anger, anxiety, fear or even joy, that’s a sign it may be untrue. (如果它带来强烈的情绪反应,比如愤怒、焦虑、恐惧甚至快乐,这表明它可能是不真实的。)”指出,表明信息不真实的一个迹象就是它给读者带来强烈的情绪反应。下文“When you meet misinformation, the biggest factor in whether you are cheated is when you want it to be true. (当你遇到错误信息时,决定你是否被骗的最大因素是你希望它是真的。)”指出,此处提到了第二个表明信息不真实,属于欺骗信息的迹象是读者希望它是真实的。故空格前后提出了两个不同的迹象。选项D“Another good sign is that you want to believe it. (另一个合理的迹象是你愿意相信它。)”与下文一致,提出了和前文迹象不同的第二个迹象,能够从前文自然过渡到下文,符合语境。故选D项。
【18题详解】
上文“AI tools can make things up and frequently don’t source where information comes from. (人工智能工具可以虚构东西,但通常不会追溯从哪里获取信息。)”指出,作者不建议读者在寻求真相时求助人工智能,这是因为人工智能不会去求索信息的源头。选项F“This makes it impossible to trace claims back to their origins. (这使得无法追溯声明的起源。)”进一步阐释人工智能不追溯源头直接导致读者无法知道声明信息的源头,符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
下文“Don’t let a Facebook group be your go-to source for the day’s news, unless you know. Use tools that are designed for getting real news from their original sources. (除非你知道,否则不要让脸书群组成为你当天新闻的首选来源。使用专为从原始来源获取真实新闻而设计的工具。)”指出作者建议读者要使用一些别的工具去获取真相。选项A“Look elsewhere for the truth. (在别处寻找真相。)”能充当本段的小标题,语义上一脉相承。故选A项。
【20题详解】
下文“If it’s a post by someone you know, don’t be afraid to ask them where they got their information. (如果这是你认识的人的帖子,不要害怕问他们从哪里得到信息。)”指出不知道新闻信息的来源时,读者甚至可以去问发信息的人来源何在。选项G“Try to trace anything you’ re not sure about to its original source. (试着将任何你不确定的东西追溯到它的原始来源。)”与下文语义一致,是总起句,下文则是其具体情况的展开,符合语境。故选G项。

Sixty-year-old Chinese grandmother Su Min didn’t intend to become a hit. She was only trying to escape her husband when she hit the road in 2020 in her white car with a rooftop tent. “I felt like I could finally catch my breath,” she says, recalling the moment she drove away from her old life.
Over the next four years and 180, 000 miles, the video diaries she shared of her adventures earned her millions of supporters online. They called her the “road-tripping auntie” as she turned into a hero for women who felt trapped in their own lives. Her story is now a hit film that was released in September and she became one of the inspiring and influential women of 2024.
If she had to describe what 2024 meant to her in a single word, she says that word would be “freedom”. “As soon as I started driving, she felt freer,” as Su Min told the media over the phone from Shenyang. But it wasn’t until 2024, when she finally applied for divorce (离婚), that she experienced “another kind of freedom”
It took a while to get there: it was a complex process in China and her husband refused to divorce her until she agreed to pay him and she was still waiting for the divorce certificate to come through. She was firm that she didn’t want to look back: “I’m saying goodbye to him.” In January, 2025, she got divorced from her husband.
Although she drives alone, she never seems lonely. She chats with her followers as she films her journey, sharing what she has been cooking, how she spent the previous day and where she’s going next. Her audience travels with her to many places — Xinjiang’s snow-capped mountains, Yunnan’s ancient river towns, sparkling blue lakes, vast grasslands, endless deserts and so on.
4. Why did Su Min become famous online?
A. She starred in her new film. B. Her trip videos inspired her followers.
C. She spent a large sum of money herself. D. She wrote a lot of diaries about her life.
5. What does the word “freedom” mean to Su Min?
A. Driving a car alone. B. Becoming a film actress.
C. Earning money from her videos. D. Freeing herself from her previous life.
6 Why does Su Min “never seem lonely” during her travels?
A. She has a lovely pet. B. She visits crowded cities.
C. She calls her husband daily. D. She talks with her followers.
7. Which of the following best describes Su Min?
A. Dishonest. B. Impatient. C. Adventurous. D. Selfish.
C
An earthquake killed at least 95 people and left 130 injured after it struck a remote area of southern Tibet near China’s border with Nepal at dawn on Tuesday, Chinese state media reported.

The quake brought down more than 1,700 homes in a county that is home to60, 000 people, according to the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s Tibet Military Command. The broader Shigatse, at the center of the quake, is the second-largest city in Tibet.
Some 1,500 firefighters were searching the collapsed (倒塌的) buildings for signs of life. Around noon, a child was rescued from a residential building, CCTV reported. Several hundred rescuers who arrived before noon began providing medical aid and relief to homeless residents. Another team, involving hundreds of rescuers and six helicopters, was expected to follow.
Sitting high on the Tibetan plateau at a height of 14,100 feet and 236 miles from the regional capital of Lhasa, Dingri is a major stop on the way to the North Base Camp, where adventurers set out climbing Mount Everest from the north face. The region can be bitterly cold in January, with temperatures often dropping as low as -15℃. Local tourism officials on Tuesday closed the North Base Camp until further notice.
A Dingri resident told local media that the shaking at first felt similar to the massive 2008 earthquake in neighboring Sichuan province that claimed 70,000 lives. Then the second floor of his house caved in and destroyed his car, said a man known only by his family name, Wang.
Past earthquakes that hit mountainous Tibetan regions of western China have drawn public concern about badly constructed homes in relatively poor and lonely villages.

A team of scientists from Columbia University has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called the General Expression Transformer (GET). This tool can predict how genes inside cells control their behavior. The breakthrough could help researchers better understand diseases like cancer and genetic disorders. It may also lead to new treatments designed for specific cells.
The scientists trained GET using methods similar to those behind ChatGPT, the popular language AI. While ChatGPT learns grammar and language rules, GET has learned how genes work — like turning on or off like a light switch or adjusting activity levels like a volume knob (音量旋钮). This process, called gene expression, decides which proteins a cell makes and in what amounts. Proteins are vital for nearly every body function, from fighting infections to moving and thinking.
Though still new, GET could become as important as AlphaFold2, an AI system that predicts protein shapes. AlphaFold2 won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and has been updated to AlphaFold3. Both gene regulation(studied by GET) and protein structure(studied by AlphaFold) are important to life.
“Biology is becoming a predictive science,” said Raul Rabadan, a study author and director of Columbia’s Program for Mathematical Genomics. “We’ re witnessing a revolution (变革).”
Mark Gerstein, a Yale professor not involved in the study, noted that scientists have spent 15 — 20 years collecting data to predict gene behavior. GET uses this data to analyze genes faster and more effectively. While other scientific groups have trained models using abnormal cells such as those found in different cancers, Xi Fu, a graduate student in Rabadan’s lab, decided to train GET using information from cells in normal human tissue. The training used data from more than 1. 3 million cells, covering 213 different types found in the human body.
In the future, this breakthrough could help doctors design personalized treatments by predicting how a patient’s genes might respond to therapies. While more research is needed, GET represents an exciting step toward unlocking the mysteries of life.
12. How is GET different from ChatGPT?
A. It fights infections. B. It learns how genes work.
C. It won a Nobel Prize. D. It focuses on language rules.
13. What made AlphaFold2 famous?
A. Curing genetic disorders in patients. B. Analyzing data from 1. 3 million cells.
C. Discovering many new types of human cells. D. Winning a Nobel Prize for predicting protein shapes.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of GET?
A. Subjective. B. Unclear. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An AI system predicts protein shapes. B. AI model is trained to predict gene activity.
C. Scientists is comparing GET with ChatGPT. D. The AI tool helps cure abnormal human cells.
