A
Train travel has long fascinated the imagination. L’Observatoire, the new private suite (套间) designed by French artist and photographer Jean René, aims to further engage that curiosity.
The rail carriage was fashioned for the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, with routes running from Paris to Portofino, Amsterdam to Venice, and Istanbul to Paris, among others.
L’Observatoire is the legendary line’s first carriage to be redesigned by an artist. Inspired by the astronomical lookouts and Renaissance-era curiosity rooms, the carriage is filled with hidden rooms and odd touches.
“This carriage is a method to slow time,” JR says. “Just by the process of slow travel, you enhance the possibilities of dreaming, of daydreaming.”
The bedroom, one such place to dream, contains one of the carriage’s two eye-shaped skylights, so guests can stargaze from the comfort of their bed. The room’s walls are lined with wooden shells that look like leaves. There’s also a freestanding bathtub and a colourful glass installation by artist Michael Maver.
There’s plenty to explore in the carriage. Original photographs by JR, whose work has appeared on the cover of TIME, line the corridors, and moving down to the library, travelers choose from a selection of books by French publisher Gallimard handpicked by JR, or simply watch the scenery unfold from the window-side daybed.
In the evening, pop out for a toast in the train’s Bar Car “3674” before returning to dinner, with a menu by chef Jean Imbert, in the privacy of the suite. There’s no closing time; on a luxury train, the journey is the point.
1. Who designed the “L’Observatoire” private train suite?
A. Michael Maver. B. Jean Imbert. C. Jean René. D. Gallimard Publishing.
2. Which feature is mentioned in the “L’Observatoire” suite?
A. A revolving glass floor. B. Eye-shaped skylights.
C. Walls decorated with leaves. D. A bathtub made of solid gold.
3. According to JR, what is the primary purpose of the “L’Observatoire” suite?
A. To provide the fastest travel speed.
B. To recreate 19th-century steam-engine train.
C. To demonstrate a combination of modern technology and art.
D To enhance the possibilities of dreaming through slow travel.
B
“Are we alone in the universe? That’s the core question we’re trying to answer here,” Meenakshi Wadhwa, a scientist with ties to NASA, tells her spellbound class. As she explains that, one student takes notes while another holds up an iPhone to take a snap of the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizona State University (ASU) is like any other. But the hearing aids hint at how unusual this class is.
Mirabella, a 20-storey “university retirement community” on ASU’s campus, is home to over 300 pensioners. They get a university pass, which allows them to attend the same classes and cultural events as students, but with the benefit of not having to take exams. This is part of a wider trend. An estimated 85 colleges in America are associated with some form of senior living. Andrew Carle, at Georgetown University, estimates that as many as 20,000 older Americans live like this.
With more than 10,000 baby-boomers in America turning 65 every day, and more set to hit that milestone this year than ever before, the opportunity for alternative forms of retirement is large. They want to remain active, stimulated and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus.
For universities, welcoming pensioners can make sense too. Many face an “enrollment cliff”, caused partly by population shifts. Nationally, undergraduate enrollment dropped from over 18 m in 2010 to below 16 m in 2022. Mr Carle regularly consults with universities who wonder what to do with the extra space. The smartest ones, he says, provide a continuous care — including for the very last stage of life.
Bill Gates — not that one, but an 80-year-old former newspaper editor — moved to Mirabella with his wife, who has a PhD in chemistry, two years ago. They have made friends with residents but also, to their surprise, with younger students. “Being among young people makes us vigorous,” says Mr Gates.
4. What is special about Mirabella?
A. Classes are taught only by NASA scientists.
B. Students must wear hearing aids.
C. Classes focus just on astronomy and chemistry.
D. Pensioners can attend classes without taking exams.
5. Why are universities interested in hosting retirement communities?
A. To replace undergraduate programs entirely.
B. To increase tuition fees for younger students.
C. To address declining enrollment and use spare space.
D. To reduce campus maintenance costs.
6. What surprised Bill Gates and his wife after moving to Mirabella?
A. Forming friendships with younger students.
B. The availability of PhD programs for retirees.
C. Providing end-of-life care.
D. Limited access to cultural events.
7. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The university retirement community can improve the academic atmosphere.
B. The university retirement community only benefits the pensioners.
C. The pensioners have a desire for leading an active retirement life.
D. Too many pensioners cause a great burden on the social welfare system.
C
In recent years, eatable water balls have emerged as a creative way to reduce plastic waste. These small, transparent balls, often referred to as “water pods,” hold drinking water inside a biodegradable cover made from natural materials like seaweed. Unlike plastic bottles that take centuries to break down, these eatable containers can melt in the mouth quickly or be turned into natural fertilizer, offering a promising alternative to address pollution.
The science behind eatable water balls relies on a process called spherification (球化技术), which was first applied in cooking experiments to shape liquids into round forms using special chemicals. While this method has been popularized in high-end restaurants for creating visually appealing dishes, scientists have adapted it for mass production to tackle global sustainability challenges. Each pod, typically holding 50-100 milliliters of water, is produced strong enough to be carried without breaking, making it convenient for people at sports events, festivals, or daily travel.
One of the most significant advantages of eatable water balls lies in their potential to dramatically cut down single-use plastic consumption. A study conducted by environmental researchers estimated that replacing just 10% of plastic bottles with eatable alternatives could remove over 5 billion plastic units annually thus reducing ocean pollution and protecting marine ecosystems. Furthermore, the production process requires fewer fossil fuels compared to plastic manufacturing, contributing to lower carbon emissions and matching international climate goals outlined in agreements like the Paris Accord.
Despite their benefits, eatable water pods face challenges in widespread adoption. Critics say their production cost is high because the cover must be both strong and quick to break down naturally, making them less affordable for low-income populations. Plus, people may worry about cleanliness and feel uncomfortable with the idea of eating packaging, which requires education to shift consumer behavior.
In conclusion, eatable water balls represent a combination of innovation and sustainability, offering a real step toward a plastic-free future: As technology advances and social awareness grows, this novel solution may soon become a mainstream choice, reshaping how humanity interacts with one of its most vital resources differently — water.
8. What can be learned about water pods from Paragraph 1?
A. The containers are easy to break down. B. The containers are made from recycled plastic.
C They were first used to fight pollution. D. They can replace natural fertilizer.
9. Why are water pods eco-friendly according to the passage?
A. They can be recycled into plastic materials easily.
B. They are recommended by the Paris Accord.
C. They enhance water flavor and safety.
D. They are produced with less energy.
10. What makes it tough to employ water pods widely?
A. Being inconvenient to carry and terrible flavor. B. Costliness and denial of consumers.
C. The shortage of raw materials to make them. D. The doubt of their safety.
11. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Social awareness will affect the promotion of water pods.
B. The design of water pods conflicts with human needs.
C Water pods are suitable for mainstream markets.
D. Water pods will change the feature of water.
D
Two years ago, in the BIG-bench project, 450 researchers created 204 tasks to test large language models (LLMs). While most tasks showed a smooth performance improvement as models grew, some abilities seemed to emerge suddenly, which was described as “breakthrough” behavior, similar to the physical phase transition (物理变相), such as, water turning to ice. Researchers in 2022 considered these abilities unpredictable and significant for AI safety discussions.
However, a new paper by Stanford University researchers challenges this view. They claim that the apparent sudden emergence of abilities is an artifact of measurement. Sanmi Koyejo, the senior author, states that the transition is more predictable than believed, and the claims of emergence are related to measurement methods. LLMs’ growth, measured by parameters (参数), has led to remarkable performance improvements. For example, GPT-2 had 1.5 billion parameters, GPT-3.5 has 350 billion, and GPT-4 reportedly has 1.75 trillion.
The Stanford team uses three-digit addition as an example. In the 2022 BIG-bench study, GPT-3 and LAMDA, another LLM, couldn’t add accurately until reaching certain parameter thresholds (阈值). But the Stanford researchers note that the original study only considered perfect accuracy. Using a new standard with partial credit, they show that the addition ability develops gradually as parameters increase.
Although current emergence may be due to measurement, future, more complex LLMs might exhibit true emergence. Xia “Ben” Hu from Rice University suggests that as LLMs grow, they will borrow knowledge from other tasks and models. This debate on emergence is crucial as it directly impacts efforts to predict LLM behavior, which is essential as these technologies become more widespread.
12. Why does the author mention the physical phase transition?
A. To compare the performance of different LLMs.
B. To illustrate the sudden emergence of certain abilities in LLMs.
C. To emphasize the complexity of the BIG-bench project.
D. To explain the process of creating tasks in the BIG-bench project.
13. What view does a new paper by Stanford University researchers hold?
A. The sudden emergence of LLM abilities is more predictable.
B. The performance improvements of LLMs have nothing to do with parameters.
C. The BIG-bench project’s tasks are scientific enough to test LLMs.
D. The “breakthrough” behavior of LLMs is significant for AI safety issues.
14. According to Xia “Ben” Hu from Rice University, what might happen as LLMs grow in the future?
A. They will stop showing emergent behavior.
B. They will become less complex and more useful.
C. They will borrow knowledge from other tasks and models.
D. They will have fewer parameters and become more widespread.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. To explain the concept of “emergent” abilities in LLMs.
B. To describe the work of Stanford University researchers on LLMs.
C. To introduce the development of LLMs in the past two years.
D. To present a debate about the “emergent” abilities in LLMs.

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。
It was early January 2010 and a sudden snowfall had ground the UK capital to a stop.
Andrea’s flight home to Toronto, Canada was canceled. She wanted to get back to Toronto to see her family in time for their traditional January 6 Christmas celebrations. If she didn’t depart the UK ASAP, she’d never make it, and the thought of missing the festivities was heartbreaking.
“It was really, really important for me to be back home in time,” murmured Andrea, who was in her early 20s at the time.
But the hours rolled on, and there was no sign of any flights departing that day, and Heathrow Airport’s departures area was filled with masses of similarly trapped, would-be fliers. Among them was an American traveler called Hollie Savitt, from Chicago. In January 2010, Hollie was also in her early 20s and was in the midst of a post-college trip around the world.
Hollie was supposed to be gone for two months. Hollie’s flight was also canceled. She was wandering around the departure area wondering what to do when she spotted Andrea. Hollie’s heart immediately went out to the stranger, who looked overwhelmed and exhausted.
Hollie came up to Andrea and asked, “Are you okay?”
In response, Andrea told Hollie about her canceled flight and the likely soon-to-be-missed Christmas celebrations.
“Alright, we’ll cooperate. Two heads are better than one,” said Hollie.
They became a little team right away. Andrea was still anxious about getting home to her family. But she trusted Hollie, who was bright and cheerful, even amid the chaos, and made her laugh. So when Andrea was offered a free hotel by airport staff, she and Hollie decided they’d share the room for the night. Both women also felt comfortable around one another. It was hard to explain, but once they started chatting, it was kind of like they’d known each other for years. Andrea felt the cloud she was under lift a little.
注意:
1.续写词数应150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As for Hollie, she recognized Andrea was in need of a friendly face and a bit of moral support.

Andrea was among the first to get a new ticket.

Train travel has long fascinated the imagination. L’Observatoire, the new private suite (套间) designed by French artist and photographer Jean René, aims to further engage that curiosity.

“Are we alone in the universe? That’s the core question we’re trying to answer here,” Meenakshi Wadhwa, a scientist with ties to NASA, tells her spellbound class. As she explains that, one student takes notes while another holds up an iPhone to take a snap of the slides. In many ways this lecture hall at Arizona State University (ASU) is like any other. But the hearing aids hint at how unusual this class is.
Mirabella, a 20-storey “university retirement community” on ASU’s campus, is home to over 300 pensioners. They get a university pass, which allows them to attend the same classes and cultural events as students, but with the benefit of not having to take exams. This is part of a wider trend. An estimated 85 colleges in America are associated with some form of senior living. Andrew Carle, at Georgetown University, estimates that as many as 20,000 older Americans live like this.
With more than 10,000 baby-boomers in America turning 65 every day, and more set to hit that milestone this year than ever before, the opportunity for alternative forms of retirement is large. They want to remain active, stimulated and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus.
For universities, welcoming pensioners can make sense too. Many face an “enrollment cliff”, caused partly by population shifts. Nationally, undergraduate enrollment dropped from over 18 m in 2010 to below 16 m in 2022. Mr Carle regularly consults with universities who wonder what to do with the extra space. The smartest ones, he says, provide a continuous care — including for the very last stage of life.
Bill Gates — not that one, but an 80-year-old former newspaper editor — moved to Mirabella with his wife, who has a PhD in chemistry, two years ago. They have made friends with residents but also, to their surprise, with younger students. “Being among young people makes us vigorous,” says Mr Gates.
4. What is special about Mirabella?
A. Classes are taught only by NASA scientists.
B. Students must wear hearing aids.
C. Classes focus just on astronomy and chemistry.
D. Pensioners can attend classes without taking exams.
5. Why are universities interested in hosting retirement communities?
A. To replace undergraduate programs entirely.
B. To increase tuition fees for younger students.
C. To address declining enrollment and use spare space.
D. To reduce campus maintenance costs.
6. What surprised Bill Gates and his wife after moving to Mirabella?
A. Forming friendships with younger students.
B. The availability of PhD programs for retirees.
C. Providing end-of-life care.
D. Limited access to cultural events.
7. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The university retirement community can improve the academic atmosphere.
B. The university retirement community only benefits the pensioners.
C. The pensioners have a desire for leading an active retirement life.
D. Too many pensioners cause a great burden on the social welfare system.

In recent years, eatable water balls have emerged as a creative way to reduce plastic waste. These small, transparent balls, often referred to as “water pods,” hold drinking water inside a biodegradable cover made from natural materials like seaweed. Unlike plastic bottles that take centuries to break down, these eatable containers can melt in the mouth quickly or be turned into natural fertilizer, offering a promising alternative to address pollution.
The science behind eatable water balls relies on a process called spherification (球化技术), which was first applied in cooking experiments to shape liquids into round forms using special chemicals. While this method has been popularized in high-end restaurants for creating visually appealing dishes, scientists have adapted it for mass production to tackle global sustainability challenges. Each pod, typically holding 50-100 milliliters of water, is produced strong enough to be carried without breaking, making it convenient for people at sports events, festivals, or daily travel.
One of the most significant advantages of eatable water balls lies in their potential to dramatically cut down single-use plastic consumption. A study conducted by environmental researchers estimated that replacing just 10% of plastic bottles with eatable alternatives could remove over 5 billion plastic units annually, thus reducing ocean pollution and protecting marine ecosystems. Furthermore, the production process requires fewer fossil fuels compared to plastic manufacturing, contributing to lower carbon emissions and matching international climate goals outlined in agreements like the Paris Accord.
Despite their benefits, eatable water pods face challenges in widespread adoption. Critics say their production cost is high because the cover must be both strong and quick to break down naturally, making them less affordable for low-income populations. Plus, people may worry about cleanliness and feel uncomfortable with the idea of eating packaging, which requires education to shift consumer behavior.
In conclusion, eatable water balls represent a combination of innovation and sustainability, offering a real step toward a plastic-free future: As technology advances and social awareness grows, this novel solution may soon become a mainstream choice, reshaping how humanity interacts with one of its most vital resources differently — water.
8. What can be learned about water pods from Paragraph 1?
A. The containers are easy to break down. B. The containers are made from recycled plastic.
C. They were first used to fight pollution. D. They can replace natural fertilizer.
9 Why are water pods eco-friendly according to the passage?
A. They can be recycled into plastic materials easily.

Two years ago, in the BIG-bench project, 450 researchers created 204 tasks to test large language models (LLMs). While most tasks showed a smooth performance improvement as models grew, some abilities seemed to emerge suddenly, which was described as “breakthrough” behavior, similar to the physical phase transition (物理变相), such as, water turning to ice. Researchers in 2022 considered these abilities unpredictable and significant for AI safety discussions.
However, a new paper by Stanford University researchers challenges this view. They claim that the apparent sudden emergence of abilities is an artifact of measurement. Sanmi Koyejo, the senior author, states that the transition is more predictable than believed, and the claims of emergence are related to measurement methods. LLMs’ growth, measured by parameters (参数), has led to remarkable performance improvements. For example, GPT-2 had 1.5 billion parameters, GPT-3.5 has 350 billion, and GPT-4 reportedly has 1.75 trillion.
The Stanford team uses three-digit addition as an example. In the 2022 BIG-bench study, GPT-3 and LAMDA, another LLM, couldn’t add accurately until reaching certain parameter thresholds (阈值). But the Stanford researchers note that the original study only considered perfect accuracy. Using a new standard with partial credit, they show that the addition ability develops gradually as parameters increase.
Although current emergence may be due to measurement, future, more complex LLMs might exhibit true emergence. Xia “Ben” Hu from Rice University suggests that as LLMs grow, they will borrow knowledge from other tasks and models. This debate on emergence is crucial as it directly impacts efforts to predict LLM behavior, which is essential as these technologies become more widespread.
12. Why does the author mention the physical phase transition?
A. To compare the performance of different LLMs.
B. To illustrate the sudden emergence of certain abilities in LLMs.
C. To emphasize the complexity of the BIG-bench project.
D. To explain the process of creating tasks in the BIG-bench project.
13. What view does a new paper by Stanford University researchers hold?
A. The sudden emergence of LLM abilities is more predictable.
B. The performance improvements of LLMs have nothing to do with parameters.
C. The BIG-bench project’s tasks are scientific enough to test LLMs.
D. The “breakthrough” behavior of LLMs is significant for AI safety issues.
14. According to Xia “Ben” Hu from Rice University, what might happen as LLMs grow in the future?
A. They will stop showing emergent behavior.
B. They will become less complex and more useful.
C. They will borrow knowledge from other tasks and models.
D. They will have fewer parameters and become more widespread.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. To explain the concept of “emergent” abilities in LLMs.
B. To describe the work of Stanford University researchers on LLMs.
C. To introduce the development of LLMs in the past two years.
D. To present a debate about the “emergent” abilities in LLMs.

【答案】Should Teenagers’ Use of Social Media Be Limited?
I firmly believe that teenagers’ social media use should be reasonably limited. Firstly, excessive screen time distracts them from studies, leading to poor academic performance. Many students prioritize scrolling through feeds over homework. Secondly, social media exposes teens to risks like cyberbullying and privacy breaches, which may harm their mental health. Additionally, prolonged use affects physical health, causing issues like eye strain. Therefore, setting time limits and parental guidance are essential to ensure a healthy balance between online and offline life.

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。
It was early January 2010 and a sudden snowfall had ground the UK capital to a stop.
Andrea’s flight home to Toronto, Canada was canceled. She wanted to get back to Toronto to see her family in time for their traditional January 6 Christmas celebrations. If she didn’t depart the UK ASAP, she’d never make it, and the thought of missing the festivities was heartbreaking.
“It was really, really important for me to be back home in time,” murmured Andrea, who was in her early 20s at the time.
But the hours rolled on, and there was no sign of any flights departing that day, and Heathrow Airport’s departures area was filled with masses of similarly trapped, would-be fliers. Among them was an American traveler called Hollie Savitt, from Chicago. In January 2010, Hollie was also in her early 20s and was in the midst of a post-college trip around the world.
Hollie was supposed to be gone for two months. Hollie’s flight was also canceled. She was wandering around the departure area wondering what to do when she spotted Andrea. Hollie’s heart immediately went out to the stranger, who looked overwhelmed and exhausted.
Hollie came up to Andrea and asked, “Are you okay?”
In response, Andrea told Hollie about her canceled flight and the likely soon-to-be-missed Christmas celebrations.
“Alright, we’ll cooperate. Two heads are better than one,” said Hollie.
They became a little team right away. Andrea was still anxious about getting home to her family. But she trusted Hollie, who was bright and cheerful, even amid the chaos, and made her laugh. So when Andrea was offered a free hotel by airport staff, she and Hollie decided they’d share the room for the night. Both women also felt comfortable around one another. It was hard to explain, but once they started chatting, it was kind of like they’d known each other for years. Andrea felt the cloud she was under lift a little.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As for Hollie, she recognized Andrea was in need of a friendly face and a bit of moral support.

Andrea was among the first to get a new ticket.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
One possible version:
As for Hollie, she recognized Andrea was in need of a friendly face and a bit of moral support. She spent the entire evening sharing stories of her travels around the world, making Andrea forget about her worries for a while. They laughed together at Hollie’s funny anecdotes about different cultures and countries she had visited. In return, Andrea opened up about her family traditions in Toronto, especially the unique Christmas celebrations they held on January 6. As the night went on, their bond grew stronger. They exchanged contact details, promising to keep in touch no matter what. Hollie even joked that they should plan a trip together someday, which made Andrea smile widely.
Andrea was among the first to get a new ticket. She was overjoyed but also a bit sad at the thought of leaving Hollie behind. However, Hollie was nothing but happy for her new friend. She helped Andrea gather her things and accompanied her to the boarding gate. They hugged tightly, both feeling a sense of gratitude for the unexpected friendship that had blossomed in the chaos of the airport. Andrea promised to send Hollie pictures of her family’s Christmas celebrations. Back in Toronto, Andrea indeed shared the joyous moments with Hollie through messages, and their friendship continued to thrive across the distance.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了2010年1月初,一场突如其来的大雪使英国首都陷入停滞状态,Andrea和Hollie Savitt两位年轻女性在希思罗机场因航班取消而相遇,并结下深厚友谊的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“至于Hollie,她意识到Andrea需要一个友好的面孔和一些精神上的支持。”可知,第一段可描写Hollie如何帮助Andrea,通过分享旅行故事来缓解她的焦虑,以及她们之间友谊的加深。
②由第二段首句内容“Andrea是第一批拿到新机票的人之一。”可知,第二段可描写Andrea拿到机票后与Hollie分别的情景,以及她们之间对这段意外友谊的珍惜和未来的期许。
2.续写线索:Hollie的帮助——分享故事——缓解焦虑——友谊加深——Andrea拿到机票——分别——珍惜友谊——未来期许
