B NAIROBI — Mirriam Wambui, a 13-year-old student, speaks Chinese with the confidence of a seasoned linguist despite having only two years of exposure to the language. She won the Kenyan Chinese Bridge Competition, ranked sixth in Africa and made it to the top 30 globally at the contest in Tianjin in late October. “I was overjoyed to win in Kenya,” Mirriam says. Her journey with the Chinese language began through her eldest brother, who traveled to China in 2015 to pursue a master’s degree in Chinese. When he returned to visit their family in Nairobi in 2019, Mirriam was impressed by his fluency in Chinese. “My brother came back with a cellphone I had never seen before, and everything he brought, including electronics, was made in China. I became curious about this country that seemed to produce so much,” she says with a giggle. Inspired, she enrolled in Chinese language classes two years ago. In May, with only two weeks left, she asked to join the school’s Chinese Bridge team. “My teacher was shocked as I wasn’t initially picked, but I believed in myself and went all out to prepare.” she says. Her confidence paid off. At Kenyatta University, she wowed judges and won a laptop, trophy (奖杯) and a sponsored China trip. In October, she visited China. “People were so nice,” she says. Her success inspired peers to learn Chinese. Teacher Charity Atunga says Chinese is the most popular of three options, with 90 of 200 students choosing it. “Support from parents and schools makes it great. Students see benefits like scholarships,” Atunga adds. She herself studied in China on a scholarship and later became a teacher. Kenyatta University, in partnership with Shandong Normal University, hosts the Chinese Bridge Competition for high school students in Kenya. Through this partnership, over 300 Kenyan students have traveled to China. “I want to become an ambassador in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture.” says Mirriam. 24. The underlined word “seasoned” in the first paragraph probably means ______. A. experienced B. young C. nervous D. humorous 25. What inspired Mirriam to learn Chinese? A Attractive scholarships for Chinese learners. B. Her brother’s wonderful experience in China. C. Benefits of Chinese learning from her teacher. D. Eagerness to win the Chinese Bridge Competition. 26. Which of the following best describes Mirriam? A. Confident and ambitious. B. Determined and selfless. C. Generous and adventurous. D. Caring and thoughtful. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Scholarships Open Doors to Chinese Education in Kenya. B. A Kenyan Girl Explores Chinese Culture and Innovation. C. “Made in China” Inspires Kenyan Teens to Embrace Mandarin. D. A Kenyan Teen’s Chinese Bridge Win Fuels National Learning Passion. C It is widely recognized that the human brain, particularly brain cells, functions as the central storage site responsible for storing memories. Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities. This discovery provides a new perspective for further investigation of memory mechanisms. Nikolay V. Kukushkin from New York University, the lead author of the study in Nature Communications, explains, “Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.” The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells assist memory by using the “massed-spaced effect” — a learning principle where information is remembered more effectively through spaced-interval study periods compared to trying to learn everything in one long, exhausting session, better known as cramming (考前突击) for a test. Scientists studied two types of non-brain human cells in a lab. They exposed these cells to different chemical signal patterns, similar to how brain cells receive neurotransmitter patterns (神经递质模式) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene” — identical to that of the brain cells when detecting patterns and restructuring connections for memories. To monitor the process, the scientists engineered the non-brain cells to produce a glowing protein, which showed when the memory gene was on or off. The results showed that these cells could distinguish repeated chemical pulses (imitating brain neurotransmitter bursts) from simply continuous ones. When the pulses were spaced out, the “memory gene” was turned on more strongly and for longer. Kukushkin says, “This shows the ‘massed-spaced effect’ in action. The ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells; it might be a fundamental property of all cells. This discovery opens a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.” 28. What is the main finding of the scientific research? A. Brain cells are the most important for storing memories. B. Chemical signals have no impact on cells’ memory function. C. Cells from other body parts can also have a memory function. D. The massed-spaced effect is only related to non-brain cells. 29. What is the massed-spaced effect? A. We learn better by cramming all the material at once. B. Continuous chemical pulses are more effective for memory. C Spaced-interval study leads to better memory of information. D. Non-spaced study sessions ensure stronger memory. 30. What aspect of the research is discussed in Para 4&5? A. Its challenge. B. Its highlight. C. Its conclusion. D. Its procedure. 31. What can we infer from Kukushkin’s statement in the last paragraph? A. The discovery has little relation to human health. B. There is a long way to go to apply the findings to practice. C. The massed-spaced effect is not useful for studying memory. D. Studying non-brain cells’ memory may help treat memory issues. D The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts. Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers. A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described. The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects. The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public. The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.” 32. What makes Sora impressive? A. Its artificial intelligence history. B. Its extraordinary video quality. C. Its ethical and societal influence. D. Its written commands and prompts. 33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. The company’s current challenge. B. The company’s advanced technology. C. The company’s problems in management. D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement. 34 What can we infer from the text? A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen. B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history. C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example. D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora? A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 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。 What is luck? Essentially, luck is a force used to explain unexpected successes and failures when the usual explanations do not seem sufficient.

A positive outlook can help change the negative things that are happening.

What you should do is to walk out, try something brain-boosting or something that makes you feel productive. It’s not easy to reach out to others when we don’t feel like anything is going our way. But if you stop feeling like you need to do everything on your own, that may be a path to better luck. ____40____ Finding a career coach could also be the ticket to better outcomes with your job. A.

So Ethan always dreamed of giving his mother a real house. And every penny he earned went into his “House Fund”. Despite his busy business, Ethan never gave up his schoolwork. He knew that good grades were key to a better future, and he dreamed of attending college one day—though he knew that dream was even further out of reach than the house. On an extremely hot summer day, a suited man, who obviously didn’t belong to the poor neighborhood, happened to pass by Ethan’s stand. He was immediately attracted and said, “Hot day,” reaching for his wallet. “I’ll take a lemonade.” “Sure thing,” Ethan replied, pouring a glass with his usual care. As the man sipped (抿) the lemonade, he watched Ethan closely. “You’re quite the entrepreneur (企业家),” the man commented. “How long have you been running this stand?” “About a year,” Ethan answered. “I’m saving up to buy my mom a house one day.” The man raised an eyebrow, curious. “That’s a big dream for someone your age. Tell me more.” Encouraged by the man’s words, Ethan opened up about his life, his mother’s struggles, and his eagerness to improve their living conditions. The man listened attentively, nodding in understanding and appreciation of Ethan’s dreams. When Ethan finished, the man smiled. “You’ve got a lot of heart, kid. More than most people I know. But education always takes priority at your age.” He reached into his wallet and handed Ethan a cheque (支票) and his business card. “Consider this an investment in your future.” Ethan’s eyes widened in shock. “I... I can’t take that.” “Sure you can,” the man insisted. 注意：1.续写词数应为120词左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking twice.

She won the Kenyan Chinese Bridge Competition, ranked sixth in Africa and made it to the top 30 globally at the contest in Tianjin in late October. “I was overjoyed to win in Kenya,” Mirriam says. Her journey with the Chinese language began through her eldest brother, who traveled to China in 2015 to pursue a master’s degree in Chinese. When he returned to visit their family in Nairobi in 2019, Mirriam was impressed by his fluency in Chinese. “My brother came back with a cellphone I had never seen before, and everything he brought, including electronics, was made in China. I became curious about this country that seemed to produce so much,” she says with a giggle. Inspired she enrolled in Chinese language classes two years ago. In May, with only two weeks left, she asked to join the school’s Chinese Bridge team. “My teacher was shocked as I wasn’t initially picked, but I believed in myself and went all out to prepare.” she says. Her confidence paid off. At Kenyatta University, she wowed judges and won a laptop, trophy (奖杯) and a sponsored China trip. In October, she visited China. “People were so nice,” she says. Her success inspired peers to learn Chinese. Teacher Charity Atunga says Chinese is the most popular of three options, with 90 of 200 students choosing it. “Support from parents and schools makes it great. Students see benefits like scholarships,” Atunga adds. She herself studied in China on a scholarship and later became a teacher. Kenyatta University, in partnership with Shandong Normal University, hosts the Chinese Bridge Competition for high school students in Kenya. Through this partnership, over 300 Kenyan students have traveled to China. “I want to become an ambassador in the future and learn more about Chinese language and culture” says Mirriam. 24.

Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities. This discovery provides a new perspective for further investigation of memory mechanisms. Nikolay V. Kukushkin from New York University, the lead author of the study in Nature Communications, explains, “Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.” The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells assist memory by using the “massed-spaced effect” — a learning principle where information is remembered more effectively through spaced-interval study periods compared to trying to learn everything in one long, exhausting session, better known as cramming (考前突击) for a test. Scientists studied two types of non-brain human cells in a lab. They exposed these cells to different chemical signal patterns, similar to how brain cells receive neurotransmitter patterns (神经递质模式) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene” — identical to that of the brain cells when detecting patterns and restructuring connections for memories. To monitor the process, the scientists engineered the non-brain cells to produce a glowing protein, which showed when the memory gene was on or off. The results showed that these cells could distinguish repeated chemical pulses (imitating brain neurotransmitter bursts) from simply continuous ones. When the pulses were spaced out, the “memory gene” was turned on more strongly and for longer. Kukushkin says, “This shows the ‘massed-spaced effect’ in action. The ability to learn from spaced repetition isn’t unique to brain cells; it might be a fundamental property of all cells. This discovery opens a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.” 28. What is the main finding of the scientific research? A. Brain cells are the most important for storing memories. B. Chemical signals have no impact on cells’ memory function. C. Cells from other body parts can also have a memory function. D. The massed-spaced effect is only related to non-brain cells. 29. What is the massed-spaced effect? A. We learn better by cramming all the material at once. B. Continuous chemical pulses are more effective for memory. C. Spaced-interval study leads to better memory of information. D. Non-spaced study sessions ensure stronger memory. 30. What aspect of the research is discussed in Para 4&5? A. Its challenge. B. Its highlight. C. Its conclusion. D. Its procedure. 31. What can we infer from Kukushkin’s statement in the last paragraph? A. The discovery has little relation to human health. B. There is a long way to go to apply the findings to practice. C. The massed-spaced effect is not useful for studying memory. D. Studying non-brain cells’ memory may help treat memory issues. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是非脑部细胞也具备记忆功能的最新研究发现及其对理解记忆机制的意义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Nevertheless, a team of scientists has discovered that body cells in other parts of the body can also exhibit memory capabilities.(然而，一支科学家团队发现，身体其他部位的体细胞也能够表现出记忆能力。)”以及第二段“Learning and memory are usually linked only to brains and brain cells, but our study reveals that other body cells can learn and form memories too.(学习和记忆通常只与大脑和脑细胞相关联，但我们的研究表明，其他身体细胞也能够学习并形成记忆。)”可知，这项科学研究的主要发现是身体其他部位的细胞也能表现出记忆能力，即具有记忆功能。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells assist memory by using the “massed-spaced effect” — a learning principle where information is remembered more effectively through spaced-interval study periods compared to trying to learn everything in one long, exhausting session, better known as cramming (考前突击) for a test.(该研究旨在探索非脑细胞是否通过“集中间隔效应”来辅助记忆。这一学习原则表明，与一次性长时间的集中复习（即考前突击）相比，利用间隔的学习时段能更有效地记住信息。)”可知，“集中间隔效应”是一种学习原则，即通过分散学习时段比在一次长时间、令人疲惫的突击学习过程中更有效地记住信息，也就是间隔学习能更好地记住信息。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Scientists studied two types of non-brain human cells in a lab. They exposed these cells to different chemical signal patterns, similar to how brain cells receive neurotransmitter patterns (神经递质模式) during learning.(科学家在实验室中研究了两种非脑部的人体细胞。他们让这些细胞接触不同的化学信号模式，类似于脑细胞在学习过程中接收神经递质模式的方式。)”以及第五段“To monitor the process, the scientists engineered the non-brain cells to produce a glowing protein, which showed when the memory gene was on or off. The results showed that these cells could distinguish repeated chemical pulses (imitating brain neurotransmitter bursts) from simply continuous ones.(为了监测这一过程，科学家对非脑细胞进行了改造，使其产生一种发光蛋白，这种蛋白可以显示记忆基因的开启或关闭状态。结果表明，这些细胞能够区分重复的化学脉冲（模拟脑部神经递质的爆发）与简单的连续脉冲。)”可知，第四五段详细描述了科学家在实验室研究非脑细胞的过程，包括研究的对象、对细胞做的处理、监测的方法以及得到的结果等，由此可知，这两段讨论的是研究的过程。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This discovery open a new door for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory problems.(这一发现为理解记忆的工作机制打开了新的大门，并可能带来改进学习和治疗记忆问题的更好方法。)”可知，这项发现为理解如何记忆开辟新篇章，这有可能解决提高学习和治疗记忆问题，由此可知，研究非脑细胞的记忆可能有助于治疗记忆问题。故选D项。 D The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative (有生产力的) artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts. Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers. A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described. The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects. The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public. The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially (对立地) testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.” 32. What makes Sora impressive? A. Its artificial intelligence history. B. Its extraordinary video quality. C. Its ethical and societal influence. D. Its written commands and prompts. 33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. The company’s current challenge. B. The company’s advanced technology. C. The company’s problems in management. D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen. B. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history. C. OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example. D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora? A. Pessimistic. B. Optimistic. C. Neutral. D. Cautious. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35.

At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.( OpenAI提供的关于它是如何构建的信息有限。该公司也没有说明用于训练Sora的图像和视频来源。与此同时，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧。)”可知，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧，由此可推知，社会上就Sora出现了一些分歧，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.(ChatGPT的制造商最近宣布了其向生成人工智能的下一步行动。基于旧金山的OpenAI新的文本到视频生成器Sora是一种基于书面命令(称为提示)即时制作短视频的工具。)”可知，主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器 Sora，全文作者客观的在陈述Sora的特点、社会对其的争议以及该公司为了Sora的改进所做的努力，故可推知作者对Sora的态度是中立的，故选C。 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。 What is luck?

So Ethan always dreamed of giving his mother a real house. And every penny he earned went into his “House Fund”. Despite his busy business, Ethan never gave up his schoolwork. He knew that good grades were key to a better future, and he dreamed of attending college one day—though he knew that dream was even further out of reach than the house. On an extremely hot summer day, a suited man, who obviously didn’t belong to the poor neighborhood, happened to pass by Ethan’s stand.
