A
This year is the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth and sure enough, Miss Austen, a new four-part adaptation of a novel landed in February to kick off a year of Austen love.
What is the plot of Miss Austen?
The series is told not from the perspective of Jane Austen but her sister Cassandra, a controversial (备受争议的) figure in English literary history for having burnt Jane’s private letters after her death. The truth, though, as this elegant and human period drama will reveal, is more complex...
Where was Miss Austen shot?
Adwell House, Oxfordshire: It’s in Kintbury Vicarage that Cassandra locates and destroys her sister’s letters. Adwell House in nearby Berkshire serves as the replacement for Kintbury Vicarage during the filming, which no longer exists.
Shottesbrooke House, Berkshire: Steventon Vicarage, where Jane Austen was born and where she created novels like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, was torn down after the family moved to Bath in 1801. Instead, Miss Austen used the privately-owned Shottesbrooke House near Windsor.
Chawton, Hampshire: Scenes from Miss Austen were also filmed in Austen’s home in Chawton. The novelist lived in the village during one of the most fruitful periods of her life. Emma, Persuasion and Sandito n were all written in Chawton.
Langleybury House, Hertfordshire: This 18th century manor (庄园) house has been a secret weapon in numerous films in recent years. In Miss Austen, it doubles for Winchester, Southampton, and Jane Austen’s old dancing haunt (常去之地), Basingstoke Assembly Rooms.
Is Miss Austen worth watching?
“I challenge anyone not to be touched by this beautifully emotional tale of sisterhood, grief and love in all forms,” says a leading news medium.
1. What is Miss Austen about?
A. How Jane Austen’s most works were created.
B. How Cassandra got along well with Jane Austen.
C. The reason why Jane Austen was a controversial figure.
D. The fact behind Cassandra destroying Jane Austen’s letters.
2. In which place was Jane Austen productive in her works?
A. Adwell House. B. Shottesbrooke House.
C. Chawton. D. Langleybury House.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To compare different Jane Austen adaptations.
B. To present a new drama inspired by Jane Austen.
C. To explain why Jane Austen’s homes were destroyed.
D. To blame Cassandra for burning Jane Austen’s letters.
B
On the surface, Pendle Food for All (PFFA) might seem like an ordinary membership organization charity. But the liveliness the place has at its weekly Thursday opening times sets it far apart. It’s a warm and welcome en vironment with a unique feeling, offering a place for volunteers and members alike to socialize, gain confidence, and make friends.
PFFA has a vital role to play in supporting the people of the local area, especially in these times of increasing hardship. As is clear immediately upon walking inside, this isn’t a traditional food bank. In fact, it functions rather like a supermarket, as trustee (受托人) Vicki Devonport is keen to explain.
“People get 10 points to spend, and most items are worth a point—things like meat, dairy, sanitary products, as well as essentials such as bread, sugar and eggs,” says Vicki. “Because we want to encourage healthy eating, there tends to be multiple fruits and vegetables per point, and, simply due to how expensive they have become, we have to ration (定量供应) some items like oil by making them two points. It’s really good though, people can get about£15-£20 worth of goods from us weekly! It gives our members a bit of choice, and that choice brings an added sense of dignity.”
PFFA really is a brilliant project. Given the significant impact PFFA has had on local Pendle communities, it is hardly a surprise that they won BBC Radio Lancashire’s Community Group Award back in December 2022. And with that award will hopefully come well-deserved recognition and support.
The food club operates from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm’ on Thursday at The Zone, Nelson. Support is always welcomed, and, with the inconsistent nature of business funding and commitment, every little really does help. “Generally, we’re looking for people who can commit,” Vicki explains, “from trustees with skills in marketing and social media, to businesses ready to make a monthly commitment.” Contact details can be found on the home page of the PFFA website.
4. What does PFFA seem like?
A. A community group. B. A traditional food bank.
C. A charitable supermarket . D. An ordinary organization.
5. What can we know about PFFA in paragraph 3?
A. It requires the food to be the same price.
B It automatically delivers food to people.
C. It sets a higher price for meat than for oil.
D. It balances the choice of goods and healthy eating.
6. Why is the award mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To inspire the official recognition. B. To highlight PFFA’s great impact.
C. To introduce the local community. D. To describe PFFA’s establishment.
7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Call for more support. B. Attract new members.
C. Promote the website. D. Show the operation time.
C
Much of the methane (甲烷) in air comes from human activities. But methane has natural sources too. Microbes (微生物) in wetland soils and trees also release methane.
Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane.
Trees taking in and releasing gases is gas exchange. Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out.
Gauci’s two students measured methane release from trees in the UK and Panama, setting up a gas-exchange chamber on a tree to monitor how much methane it’s absorbing or sending out. They expected methane emissions would drop as they measured higher up the trunk. Their guess at first seemed to hold. Higher up the trunk, methane release dipped. But at chest height, the numbers dropped below zero — here, trees were absorbing methane.
To further check their findings, the team analyzed trees from four regions — Brazil, Sweden, Panama and the UK. The result was the same at all sites. Overall, the trees took up more methane than they released. Using data from the four sites, the team estimated all the world’s forests may be absorbing 50 million tons of methane every year.
The scientists believe methane is taken in by microbes that live in tree bark. On average, trees absorbed more methane than they released, with faster uptake in warmer climates.
Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.”
8. What aspect of the research surprised Gauci?
A. Its theory. B. Its process. C. Its findings. D. Its functions.
9. What can we learn from the research?
A. Its data was measured globally. B. It was done by Gauci and his coworkers.
C. Its participants were the same as before. D. It involved methods different from typical ones.
10. What does Gauci stress in the last paragraph?
A. Trees can remove all methane. B. Protecting trees is crucial.
C. Methane has no natural sources. D. Methane is important to climate.
11. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A Trees may be big climate heroes B. Gauci found out trees’ growth secret
C. Researchers studied trees in four areas D. Microbes can release and absorb methane
D
When radiologist Pouneh Razavi reads a patient’s chest X-ray, she hunts for blips (光点) in the X-ray image that could indicate breast cancer. Then, a second reader, artificial intelligence (AI), looks at the image, and the two compare results.
Images from Razavi’s practice could help train the AI on blips it missed, so it improves over time. Razavi’s colleagues are still collecting data, but they are excited about it.
Chest X-rays aren’t the only type of medical imaging getting AI assistance. Doctors are using the technology to analyse ultrasound videos of babies’ hearts and more. AI technology in medicine is growing rapidly. “Imaging is leading the way,” said Stanford University radiologist Curtis Langlotz.
It’s not unusual for Langlotz to arrive at the hospital early on Saturday mornings to find at least 150 patient images waiting for him to review. He’ll examine chest X-rays carefully looking for abnormal nodules (结节) in the lungs. It’s a tiring job that takes training and attention to detail, but even experts can make mistakes. “We need help,” Langlotz said.
What can be extremely challenging for humans may be a ripe opportunity for AI. With massive quantities of high-quality digital images, scientists can train AI computer models to seek out specific features in a person’s scan, like signs of lung disease on an X-ray. Such models may help improve radiologists’ accuracy and efficiency, so doctors can prioritize cases based on which ones may need immediate attention.
The model isn’t ready for widespread roll-out. The researchers first need to train it on more data. “With too many variables that might confuse it, the researchers estimate that more training plus trials to confirm the model works could take five years,” says Julia Vogt, a computer scientist at ETH Zurich.
“Using AI tools thoughtfully could ultimately make health care more efficient,” Vogt says. “AI is not magic or perfect, but it has the potential to solve some problems. By easing workloads, for example, AI could give doctors more time with their patients. That would be a huge achievement.”
12. What is the main function of AI in Pouneh Razavi’s work?
A. To collect data for research. B. To train doctors in imaging.
C. To detect breast cancer indicators. D. To find out the blips in her images.
13. What does Langlotz’s busy Saturday morning show?
A. His devotion to work. B. His excellent medical skills.
C. A lack of doctors in the local hospital. D. The desire for AI’s application in his work.
14. What does the underlined word “roll-out” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Reaction. B. Launch. C. Research. D. Attention.
15. What is Vogt’s attitude to AI?
A. Objective. B. Uncertain. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.

How to Deal with Impossible People
Most people know someone who seems to make every situation a negative and unmanageable one. ___16___, as they likely don’t see a problem with their behavior. Here are tips to help you navigate interactions with these people.
Avoid getting defensive. Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible”for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem. ___17___. They’ve already decided that your opinion doesn’t matter and your defence is a decorative evidence.
Adjust your strategy. ___18___, so treat it like a game. Learn the impossible person’s strategy, and develop counter strategies ahead of time. Eventually you’ll find what works and what doesn’t, plus you’ll probably feel better as you realize you’ re three steps ahead, outwitting (智胜) them at every turn. Just remember your ultimate goal is to help free yourself mentally, not become the person’s master.
___19___. Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance.
Watch out for picking up impossible people’s characteristics. You tend to pick up on the behavior of those around you. For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person. ___20___.
A. Accept the situation
B. Consider what you can learn
C. Catch yourself when you start to do this
D. Sometimes you can’t leave the situation
E. So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story
F. Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help
G. An impossible person is convinced that they have already made a mistake

What ____25____ most was how he fought through his senior years.

In spite of his failing ____28____, Halley remained resilient (坚韧的), giving the best shot to live on.
Pets have the power to teach us ____29____ lessons. By investing in close encounters with them, we may unconsciously transform our ____30____. While we complain about life’s challenges, here was a creature struggling for ____31____. Halley made me reflect: When the world is ____32____ wealth, status, and power, how ____33____ we pause to consider the true core values that define us as human beings.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, someone gave me a little cutting, and I grew a beautiful plant from it, with small, tear-shaped leaves hanging over the edges of the pot.
However, the leaves turned brown and drooped (垂落) so much in winter. Unwilling to give it up, I brought what was left to my mom and asked if she could bring it to life. She just smiled and took the pot from me.
My mom carefully trimmed (修剪) the stems, watered the few surviving parts, and helped the hidden leaves reach the sunlight. The next year, the plant came back to life with fresh green leaves for a few months but withered (枯萎) in winter again.
As the plant grew over years, my mother’s health kept getting worse. There were good times and bad times, just like the plant’s seasons. Mom told me everyone has "good seasons" and "hard seasons", and life always finds a way to begin again. Just be patient and keep trying when things seem hopeless.
One late winter, when both Mom and the plant were struggling, my Aunt Marion visited. Mom gave her the dying plant to care for. She took it home, determined to help it live .Amazingly, that summer, new leaves grew from the bare plant on her kitchen windowsill. As before, each winter it withered, to be renewed again in late spring. This cycle continued for years until one spring when Aunt Marion thought it was truly dead and threw it away. But my cousin Carole saw the dried plant in the trash and decided to try saving it. She took it to her sunny room. Four women in our family have cared for this plant at different times.
Years later, Mom passed away and I moved far away for a fresh start. Three years later, terribly missing all the relatives, I went back to visit and stayed with Carole.

On the surface, Pendle Food for All (PFFA) might seem like an ordinary membership organization charity. But the liveliness the place has at its weekly Thursday opening times sets it far apart. It’s a warm and welcome en vironment with a unique feeling, offering a place for volunteers and members alike to socialize, gain confidence, and make friends.
PFFA has a vital role to play in supporting the people of the local area, especially in these times of increasing hardship. As is clear immediately upon walking inside, this isn’t a traditional food bank. In fact, it functions rather like a supermarket, as trustee (受托人) Vicki Devonport is keen to explain.
“People get 10 points to spend, and most items are worth a point—things like meat, dairy, sanitary products, as well as essentials such as bread, sugar and eggs,” says Vicki. “Because we want to encourage healthy eating, there tends to be multiple fruits and vegetables per point, and, simply due to how expensive they have become, we have to ration (定量供应) some items like oil by making them two points. It’s really good though, people can get about£15-£20 worth of goods from us weekly! It gives our members a bit of choice, and that choice brings an added sense of dignity.”
PFFA really is a brilliant project. Given the significant impact PFFA has had on local Pendle communities, it is hardly a surprise that they won BBC Radio Lancashire’s Community Group Award back in December 2022. And with that award will hopefully come well-deserved recognition and support.
The food club operates from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm’ on Thursday at The Zone, Nelson. Support is always welcomed, and, with the inconsistent nature of business funding and commitment, every little really does help. “Generally, we’re looking for people who can commit,” Vicki explains, “from trustees with skills in marketing and social media, to businesses ready to make a monthly commitment.” Contact details can be found on the home page of the PFFA website.
4. What does PFFA seem like?
A. A community group. B. A traditional food bank.
C. A charitable supermarket . D. An ordinary organization.
5. What can we know about PFFA in paragraph 3?
A. It requires the food to be the same price.
B. It automatically delivers food to people.
C. It sets a higher price for meat than for oil.
D. It balances the choice of goods and healthy eating.
6. Why is the award mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To inspire the official recognition. B. To highlight PFFA’s great impact.
C. To introduce the local community. D. To describe PFFA’s establishment.
7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Call for more support. B. Attract new members.
C. Promote the website. D. Show the operation time.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A

推理判断题。根据文章第三段““Because we want to encourage healthy eating, there tends to be multiple fruits and vegetables per point, and, simply due to how expensive they have become, we have to ration(定量供应)some items like oil by making them two points. It’s really good though, people can get about£15-£20 worth of goods from us weekly! It gives our members a bit of choice, and that choice brings an added sense of dignity.”(因为我们鼓励健康饮食,所以通常每一分可以兑换多种水果和蔬菜。由于有些商品价格上涨,比如食用油,我们不得不对其进行定量供应,这类商品价值2分。不过这真的很不错,人们每周可以从我们这里获得价值约15到20英镑的商品!这给了我们的会员一些选择,而这种选择带来了额外的尊严感。)”可知,PFFA 既鼓励健康饮食,又给会员提供了选择,实现了两者的平衡。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Given the significant impact PFFA has had on local Pendle communities, it is hardly a surprise that they won BBC Radio Lancashire’s Community Group Award back in December 2022. And with that award will hopefully come well-deserved recognition and support.(鉴于它对当地彭德尔社区产生的重大影响,它在2022年12月荣获 BBC兰开夏电台颁发的社区团体奖也就不足为奇了。希望这个奖项能让它得到应有的认可和支持。)”可知,因为PFFA对当地社区有重大影响才获得奖项,所以提到奖项是为了突出其巨大影响。故选B。

Much of the methane (甲烷) in air comes from human activities. But methane has natural sources too. Microbes (微生物) in wetland soils and trees also release methane.
Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane.
Trees taking in and releasing gases is gas exchange. Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out.
Gauci’s two students measured methane release from trees in the UK and Panama, setting up a gas-exchange chamber on a tree to monitor how much methane it’s absorbing or sending out. They expected methane emissions would drop as they measured higher up the trunk. Their guess at first seemed to hold. Higher up the trunk, methane release dipped. But at chest height, the numbers dropped below zero — here, trees were absorbing methane.
To further check their findings, the team analyzed trees from four regions — Brazil, Sweden, Panama and the UK. The result was the same at all sites. Overall, the trees took up more methane than they released. Using data from the four sites, the team estimated all the world’s forests may be absorbing 50 million tons of methane every year.
The scientists believe methane is taken in by microbes that live in tree bark. On average, trees absorbed more methane than they released, with faster uptake in warmer climates.
Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.”
8. What aspect of the research surprised Gauci?
A. Its theory. B. Its process. C. Its findings. D. Its functions.
9. What can we learn from the research?
A. Its data was measured globally. B. It was done by Gauci and his coworkers.
C. Its participants were the same as before. D. It involved methods different from typical ones.
10. What does Gauci stress in the last paragraph?
A. Trees can remove all methane. B. Protecting trees is crucial.
C. Methane has no natural sources. D. Methane is important to climate.
11. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. Trees may be big climate heroes B. Gauci found out trees’ growth secret
C. Researchers studied trees in four areas D. Microbes can release and absorb methane
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕科学家Vincent Gauci及其团队对树木吸收和释放甲烷的研究展开。指出了甲烷的来源,对树木吸收甲烷原因的分析,并强调了树木对气候的重要性以及减少化石燃料使用、保护森林资源的必要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Vincent Gauci, an environmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the tropics, give off methane from their trunks. Then, he wanted to study its release from trees in drier soils. “We were surprised to see the exact opposite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane.(环境科学家Vincent Gauci知道,在潮湿地区(比如热带地区)的树木会从树干释放甲烷。然后,他想研究在更干燥的土壤中树木释放甲烷的情况。Gauci说:“我们惊讶地看到了完全相反的情况。”实际上,树木在吸收甲烷。)”可知,Gauci原本知道潮湿地区(如热带地区)的树木会从树干释放甲烷,他想研究更干燥土壤中树木甲烷的释放情况,但结果却发现树木实际上在吸收甲烷,这与他预期的情况相反,所以是研究结果让他感到惊讶。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers typically measure methane exchange low on the trunk, near the ground. But Gauci’s team measured higher up on the tree, thinking this would better estimate how much methane the whole tree might send out.(研究人员通常在靠近地面的树干低处测量甲烷交换情况。但Gauci的团队在树木更高的位置进行测量,他们认为这样能更好地估算整棵树可能释放的甲烷量。)”可知,通常研究人员在靠近地面的树干低处测量甲烷交换,而Gauci的团队在树上更高的位置测量,研究方法与典型的测量方法不同。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Gauci says, “People release far more methane than what nature can remove. So we have to cut back on fossil fuels. Trees are even more important for climate than we thought. We must be aware of the need for immediate action to safeguard this vital natural resource.”(Gauci说:“人类释放的甲烷远远超过了大自然能够清除的量。所以我们必须减少化石燃料的使用。树木对气候的重要性比我们想象的还要大。我们必须意识到,需要立即采取行动来保护这一至关重要的自然资源。”)”可知,Gauci说人类释放的甲烷远远超过大自然能够清除的量,所以必须减少化石燃料的使用,并且树木对气候的重要性比我们想象的还要大,我们必须意识到需要立即采取行动来保护树木这一至关重要的自然资源。也就是说他强调了树木对气候的重要性以及保护树木这一自然资源的必要性。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇提到空气中甲烷的来源,接着详细讲述了Gauci及其团队的研究发现,即树木不仅会释放甲烷,还会吸收甲烷,且树木吸收的甲烷量比释放的多,最后强调了树木对气候的重要性以及保护树木的必要性。文章主要围绕树木对甲烷的吸收和释放展开,表明树木对气候有重要作用。选项A“Trees may be big climate heroes(树木可能是对抗气候变化的大英雄)”符合文章主旨,适合作文章标题。故选A。
D
When radiologist Pouneh Razavi reads a patient’s chest X-ray, she hunts for blips (光点) in the X-ray image that could indicate breast cancer. Then, a second reader, artificial intelligence (AI), looks at the image, and the two compare results.
Images from Razavi’s practice could help train the AI on blips it missed, so it improves over time. Razavi’s colleagues are still collecting data, but they are excited about it.
Chest X-rays aren’t the only type of medical imaging getting AI assistance. Doctors are using the technology to analyse ultrasound videos of babies’ hearts and more. AI technology in medicine is growing rapidly. “Imaging is leading the way,” said Stanford University radiologist Curtis Langlotz.
It’s not unusual for Langlotz to arrive at the hospital early on Saturday mornings to find at least 150 patient images waiting for him to review. He’ll examine chest X-rays carefully, looking for abnormal nodules (结节) in the lungs. It’s a tiring job that takes training and attention to detail, but even experts can make mistakes. “We need help,” Langlotz said.
What can be extremely challenging for humans may be a ripe opportunity for AI. With massive quantities of high-quality digital images, scientists can train AI computer models to seek out specific features in a person’s scan, like signs of lung disease on an X-ray. Such models may help improve radiologists’ accuracy and efficiency, so doctors can prioritize cases based on which ones may need immediate attention.
The model isn’t ready for widespread roll-out. The researchers first need to train it on more data. “With too many variables that might confuse it, the researchers estimate that more training plus trials to confirm the model works could take five years,” says Julia Vogt, a computer scientist at ETH Zurich.
“Using AI tools thoughtfully could ultimately make health care more efficient,” Vogt says. “AI is not magic or perfect, but it has the potential to solve some problems. By easing workloads, for example, AI could give doctors more time with their patients. That would be a huge achievement.”
12. What is the main function of AI in Pouneh Razavi’s work?
A. To collect data for research. B. To train doctors in imaging.
C. To detect breast cancer indicators. D. To find out the blips in her images.
13. What does Langlotz’s busy Saturday morning show?
A. His devotion to work. B. His excellent medical skills.
C. A lack of doctors in the local hospital. D. The desire for AI’s application in his work.
14. What does the underlined word “roll-out” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Reaction. B. Launch. C. Research. D. Attention.
15. What is Vogt’s attitude to AI?
A Objective. B. Uncertain. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能(AI)在医学影像领域的应用及其潜力。文章通过具体例子,如放射科医生Pouneh Razavi如何与AI合作读取患者的胸部X光片,以及AI如何帮助分析婴儿心脏的超声视频等,来说明AI技术在医学中的快速发展和广泛应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When radiologist Pouneh Razavi reads a patient’s chest X-ray, she hunts for blips(光点)in the X-ray image that could indicate breast cancer. Then, a second reader, artificial intelligence(AI), looks at the image, and the two compare results.(当放射科医生Pouneh Razavi阅读病人的胸部X光片时,她会在X光图像中搜寻那些可能表明患有乳腺癌的光点。然后,另一个“阅片者”——人工智能(AI)会查看这张图像,接着这两者会比较各自的诊断结果。)”可知,放射科医生Pouneh Razavi在看病人胸部X光片时寻找可能表明乳腺癌的光点,之后人工智能也会看图像,并且两者要比较结果,这说明人工智能也是在X光图像中寻找可能表明乳腺癌的光点,即检测乳腺癌的指标。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“He’ll examine chest X-rays carefully, looking for abnormal nodules(结节)in the lungs. It’s a tiring job that takes training and attention to detail, but even experts can make mistakes. “We need help,” Langlotz said.(他会仔细检查胸部X光片,寻找肺部的异常结节。这是一项累人的工作,需要经过专业训练,并且要注意细节,但即使是专家也可能会犯错。Langlotz说:“我们需要帮助。”)”可知,检查胸部 X 光片是一项累人的工作,即使是专家也会犯错,他们需要帮助。所以Langlotz忙碌的星期六上午表明他们医生对人工智能在工作中的应用的渴望。故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“The model isn’t ready for widespread roll-out. The researchers first need to train it on more data. “With too many variables that might confuse it, the researchers estimate that more training plus trials to confirm the model works could take five years,” says Julia Vogt, a computer scientist at ETH Zurich.(目前该模型还未准备好大规模……。研究人员首先需要用更多数据来训练它。苏黎世联邦理工学院的计算机科学家Julia Vogt说:“由于存在太多可能会让模型混淆的变量,研究人员估计,进一步的训练以及通过试验来确认模型的有效性可能需要五年时间。”)”可知,研究人员还需要用更多数据来训练该模型,因为它存在很多可能使模型混淆的变量,可能还需要五年时间,所以,这种模式还没有做好广泛推广的准备,划线词“roll-out”的意思是“推广,推出”,与B项“launch”意思相近。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Using AI tools thoughtfully could ultimately make health care more efficient,” Vogt says. “AI is not magic or perfect, but it has the potential to solve some problems. By easing workloads, for example, AI could give doctors more time with their patients. That would be a huge achievement.”(Vogt说:“谨慎地使用人工智能工具最终可能会让医疗保健变得更高效。人工智能并非神奇或完美无缺,但它有解决一些问题的潜力。例如,通过减轻工作量,人工智能可以让医生有更多时间陪伴病人。这将是一项巨大的成就。”)”可知,Vogt既指出了人工智能不是完美的,又肯定了其在医疗保健方面的潜力和作用。因此,Vogt的态度是客观的。故选A。

How to Deal with Impossible People
Most people know someone who seems to make every situation a negative and unmanageable one. ___16___, as they likely don’t see a problem with their behavior. Here are tips to help you navigate interactions with these people.
Avoid getting defensive. Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible”for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem. ___17___. They’ve already decided that your opinion doesn’t matter and your defence is a decorative evidence.
Adjust your strategy. ___18___, so treat it like a game. Learn the impossible person’s strategy, and develop counter strategies ahead of time. Eventually you’ll find what works and what doesn’t, plus you’ll probably feel better as you realize you’ re three steps ahead, outwitting (智胜) them at every turn. Just remember your ultimate goal is to help free yourself mentally, not become the person’s master.
___19___. Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance.
Watch out for picking up impossible people’s characteristics. You tend to pick up on the behavior of those around you. For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person. ___20___.
A. Accept the situation
B. Consider what you can learn
C. Catch yourself when you start to do this
D. Sometimes you can’t leave the situation
E. So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story
F. Pointing out that these people are difficult and demanding won’t help
G. An impossible person is convinced that they have already made a mistake
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. B 20. C

【17题详解】
根据上文“Stay calm, and be aware that you will never win in an argument with impossible people — they are referred to as “impossible” for a reason. In their mind, you are the problem.(保持冷静,并意识到在与难相处的人的争论中你永远不会赢—— 他们被称为“难相处的人”是有原因的。在他们心里,你才是问题所在。)”可知,此处讲述与难相处的人争论时的情况,由此可推断,此空应阐述与难相处的人争论时的情况,E选项“So nothing you say can convince them to see your side of the story(所以你说的任何话都无法说服他们站在你的立场看问题)”承接上文,进一步说明了与他们争论时的结果,符合语境。故选E项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Adjust your strategy.(调整你的策略。)”以及下文“so treat it like a game.(所以把它当作一场游戏。)”可知,此处讲述有时不能摆脱与难相处的人的相处,所以要调整策略,D选项“Sometimes you can’t leave the situation(有时你无法摆脱这种情况)”与下文为因果关系,起到承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Impossible people offer valuable life experiences. After dealing with them, you will be able to get along with most other people more easily. Try to keep perspective, and realize that what may seem crazy to you may be another person’s only way of coping. Try to view these interactions as a way to build strengths such as flexibility, grace, and tolerance.(难相处的人提供了宝贵的人生经验。在与他们打交道后,你将能够更轻松地与大多数其他人相处。试着保持客观,并且意识到对你来说可能看似疯狂的事情可能是另一个人唯一的应对方式。试着把这些互动看作是培养诸如灵活性、优雅和宽容等优点的一种方式。)”可知,此处讲述从与难相处的人的相处中可以学习到东西,B选项“Consider what you can learn(考虑你能学到什么)”为祈使句,且概括了本段的主题,起到了总领下文的作用,符合语境。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“For this reason, you could find yourself adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident. You may engage in the same illogical behavior in response to the impossible person.(出于这个原因,你可能会发现自己意外地采用了你不喜欢的那些特性。你可能会以同样不合逻辑的行为来回应那个难相处的人。)”可知,此处讲述要注意避免沾染难相处的人的不良特性,C选项“Catch yourself when you start to do this(当你开始这样做的时候要及时察觉自己)”中的do this指的是上文的“adopting the very characteristics that you dislike by accident.”,起到了总结上文的作用。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years ago, someone gave me a little cutting, and I grew a beautiful plant from it, with small, tear-shaped leaves hanging over the edges of the pot.
However, the leaves turned brown and drooped (垂落) so much in winter. Unwilling to give it up, I brought what was left to my mom and asked if she could bring it to life. She just smiled and took the pot from me.
My mom carefully trimmed (修剪) the stems, watered the few surviving parts, and helped the hidden leaves reach the sunlight. The next year, the plant came back to life with fresh green leaves for a few months but withered (枯萎) in winter again.
As the plant grew over years, my mother’s health kept getting worse. There were good times and bad times, just like the plant’s seasons. Mom told me everyone has "good seasons" and "hard seasons", and life always finds a way to begin again. Just be patient and keep trying when things seem hopeless.
One late winter, when both Mom and the plant were struggling, my Aunt Marion visited. Mom gave her the dying plant to care for. She took it home, determined to help it live .Amazingly, that summer, new leaves grew from the bare plant on her kitchen windowsill. As before, each winter it withered, to be renewed again in late spring. This cycle continued for years until one spring when Aunt Marion thought it was truly dead and threw it away. But my cousin Carole saw the dried plant in the trash and decided to try saving it. She took it to her sunny room. Four women in our family have cared for this plant at different times.
Years later, Mom passed away and I moved far away for a fresh start. Three years later, terribly missing all the relatives, I went back to visit and stayed with Carole.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One morning, I noticed a beautiful plant in her window. Its small, tear-shaped leaves were gracefully hanging over the edges of the pot, just like the one my mom used to take care of. I was filled with a mix of surprise and emotion. Carole saw my eyes fixed on the plant and smiled. She told me it was the very plant that had been passed down among our family. After she rescued it from the trash, with patience and care, she had managed to bring it back to its full glory. It had thrived under her loving attention, just as it had under Mom’s, Aunt Marion’s, and hers before.
Several days later, I left with some cuttings. As I held these precious cuttings in my hands, I felt a deep connection to my mom and all the women in my family who had cared for this plant. Back at my new home, I planted them with great care, just as my mom had done years ago. I knew that no matter how difficult life might get, like this plant, life would always find a way to start anew. The plant was not just a green living thing; it was a symbol of our family’s love, perseverance, and the cycle of life.
