Wei Yuansong is the director of the Laboratory of Water Pollution Control Technology. In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water.
Wei says that his connection to Sri Lanka began in August 2013, when he received an email about collaboration (合作) on water treatment to address Kidney Disease, which was a major public health issue in Sri Lanka, with over 40,000 people affected by the disease since the mid-1990s. In 2016, then Sri Lankan President referred to it as a “national disaster” that was affecting 20,828 patients and causing 5,000 deaths a year.
In August 2014, Wei made his first visit to Sri Lanka to start an arduous research journey with Weragoda, a Sri Lanka scientist. Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says. The two scientists had to hold difficult conversations to win their trust, but were eventually welcomed to take extremely important samples (样本) for their research.
Following some research and detailed discussions between the two sides, a deal was inked in March 2015, enabling joint research into the causes of Kidney Disease and-drinking water safety. Since then, Wei has frequented Sri Lanka with other Chinese scientists to conduct thorough research into water treatment solutions suitable for local conditions.
Local residents now trust Chinese scientists wholeheartedly. Villagers with kidney disease say they haven’t had to go to hospital for years thanks to the help of Chinese scientists.
This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC. “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said.
4. Why did the villagers write a thank-you letter to Wei Yuansong?
A. For his help with water treatment.
B. For his research on public health.
C. For his contribution to their economy.
D. For his efforts to fight Kidney Disease.
5. What does the underlined word “arduous” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Time-consuming. B. Difficult.
C. Ground-breaking. D. Dangerous.
6. What was the first reaction of the villagers to the Chinese scientists?
A. They were excited. B. They were surprised.
C. They were worried. D. They were uninterested.
7. Which of the following can best describe Wei Yuansong?
A. Curious and professional. B. Patient and adventurous.
C. Devoted and determined. D. Thoughtful and enthusiastic.
C
Fast food has become our common partner in the modern life. But we may be unaware of how it is reshaping our culture and the way we interact in society.
Fast food has been gradually replacing the traditional family meal. Dinner used to be a time to slow down, when kids learned from their parents. Today, quality has given way to speed. The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past.
In addition, the global spread of fast food has led to sameness across borders. Fast food chains offer almost the same menu whether you’re in Mumbai or Miami. They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering.
Fast food, despite its convenience, often comes at a cost. Fast-food chains are often found in lower-income neighborhoods. This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. When people say you are what you eat, it’s not just about physical health. It’s also about the social structures. Fast-food culture worsens the unfairness already present in our society.
We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change.
It’s time we treated food as more than just a short stop to rest and eat in our busy day. Its meaning lies in the richness of our traditions, the diversity of our cultures, and the relationships we develop. Let’s not let fast food take this away from us.
8. What does “fast-food culture” represent?
A. A way of slow life. B. A lack of patience.
C. A focus on quality. D. A return to traditions.
9. Why does the author compare fast-food chains to a bulldozer?
A. They reduce food cultural diversity. B. They develop better eating habits.
C. They promote local food traditions. D. They gain worldwide popularity.
10. What does the underlined phrase “a vicious cycle” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Poor people eat more fast food. B. Healthy food becomes expensive.
C. The gap between rich and poor widens. D. Fast food does harm to physical health.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards fast food?
A. Completely negative and viewing it dangerous.
B. Extremely doubtful and not caring about it.
C. Supportive but warning of its harmful effects.
D. Concerned but recognizing its practical value.
D
Many have thought about how AI could change the world, not least schools. Plenty fear the worst. The college paper has been pronounced dead, and AI is causing an educational “crisis (危机)”, says Inside Higher Ed. Maybe so, but AI could also be a teacher’s friend.
It is easier to see the crisis. AI’s complication and creativity worries lots of teachers and schools. New York City public schools banned (禁止) AI in January, only to change the decision in May. Some universities abroad have banned its use.
“At first, everybody was thinking that the sky was falling,” says Jonathan Torres, an assistant professor of English at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. With AI as a helper, the teacher might ask the students to assess (评估) and revise AI’s response to the same question — a more difficult task. AIs have other practical uses for teachers. They can help write lesson plans at different reading levels and even in different languages. They can also cut down the time spent on duties, such as writing recommendation letters, saving time that could be spent teaching.
Some organizations are going even further. Khan Academy, an education non-profit, recently launched a program, using AI to support students and teachers. If students get a wrong answer to a Maths problem, AI helps them solve it on their own. In science, the program assesses open-ended questions. In English class, it asks students questions about their papers. And in history, a student can discuss with AI to prepare for an in-class discussion.
The program provides teachers with a report on their students’ activities. The AI tool Khanmigo can help teachers create lessons and test students’ knowledge afterwards. It can support students in different languages. It even allows students to “talk” to historical figures or literary characters through simulations (模拟). “This gives us the opportunity to give every student a one-on-one teacher, every teacher a teaching helper, and more,” says Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy.
12. What attitude did New York City public schools hold towards AI at first?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Understanding. D. Delighted.
13. What can teachers do with AI as a helper?
A. Create multi-level lesson plans.
B Give students difficult homework.
C. Carry out practical teaching activities.
D. Cut down their teaching time in class.
14. What does Sal Khan say about the potential of AI in education?
A. It will remove the need for teachers.
B. It will make the college education outdated.
C. It can free teachers from preparing for lessons.
D. It can provide students with personalized learning.
15. What could be a suitable title for this article?
A. The Future of Education with AI
B. The Impact of Banning AI in Schools
C. AI Can Benefit Teachers and Schools
D. It’s High Time to Make Use of AI

Seeing through spoofers (骗子)
When we meet people face to face, we seldom have to worry that people aren’t who they claim (声称) to be. But online, things are different. Spoofing — when someone pretends to be a person or company you trust — is a common trick used by spoofers. ____16____
A spoofing trick can take many forms, such as an email, text, or phone call. For example, you might get an email that appears to be from an online store. It might say that your bank account has been accessed and ask you to click a link to change the password. ____17____ Instead of protecting your account, you’re giving away your login details to the spoofers.
____18____ You might get a direct message on social media from a “friend”, telling you to click on a link to watch a funny video. But when you do, you unknowingly download software that allows the spoofer to monitor your activity.
Some of these spoof communications are so well-made that it’s hard to tell they’re false (假的). However, there are some methods you can use to see through spoofers.
You can avoid lots of traps simply by checking email addresses and links carefully. If an email claims to be from a company, compare the sender’s address to past real ones. ____19____ But small differences, like “Amazon. com,” are red flags.
It’s also wise to always be watchful. ____20____ If a “friend” sends a strange link, call them to make sure they have actually sent the link. Similarly, if someone claiming to be from your bank calls asking for personal information, hang up immediately. Banks never request such details over the phone.
In fact, if you’re unsure about the message, ignore it. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
A. The link might take you to a false website.
B. Another typical example involves social media.
C. Check the websites’ security before entering data.
D. Always confirm the source of unexpected messages.
E. However, spotting false messages can be challenging.
F. Sometimes, these emails even use real company logos.
G. Never share passwords or bank information with strangers.

It ____30____ a false alarm, but that changed my life attitude.
____31____ back, I think my trouble with New Year’s goals was dreaming what I couldn’t realize. I was setting myself up for ____32____ every year and then being surprised when I failed!
Now I take the ____33____ approach: I’m all about the little goals. First, little goals are easy to-set. Instead of going to run a marathon, I’ve decided to run 20 minutes three days a week. Oh, and I can go as ____34____ as I feel like! Second, little goals are easier to realize. Every time I check one of my mini goals off my list, I feel a sense of ____35____ and achievement.

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。
Dave was in his car driving home. Work had been longer today than most days. His wife was expecting him home soon for dinner but he knew he would be late. Up ahead on the road there was a car that was pulled off to the side of the road. A gentleman in decent office clothing was standing at the tire (轮胎), looking quite confused.
“I should stop and help,” Dave thought. “But I’m already late... Maybe he can just call the policemen or a friend to come to get him.”
It was late November and in the mountains of Virginia it-was dark and cold. Dave already felt the guilt (内疚) of not stopping to help. “It’s cold... cell phone service is weak in these areas... what if he decided to walk... he can’t defend himself if an animal comes out of the woods.”
Led by guilt, Dave pulled in front of the broken down car and shut off his engine. “Need some help?” Dave yelled out. Now walking past the headlights he found a medium height older man, somewhere in his 60’s. “I have a flat tire. I’m a little ashamed to say I don’t know how to put on my spare tire.” Dave nodded. He put his hands in his jacket. “No worries. I’ll have you fixed up in no time. I own the car repair shop in town.”
Dave walked to the trunk of the car and took out the spare tire and tools. He took off the flat tire and placed the new one on quickly. “Could I give you some cash?” asked the old man. “No, I can’t take any cash. It was my pleasure to help. Now just promise me you will go straight home.” The old man laughed, “okay, fair deal. I promise, I’ll go straight home.” They shook hands and Dave turned around and started walking back towards his truck.
“This cold air...” he thought to himself, finding himself unwell. Dave felt his chest (胸部) tightening. He felt short of breath. He needed to sit down. He put his hand on his chest. He had to stop. The pain coming from his chest was so sharp. He felt breathless. Then his mind went blank.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph one:
A few hours later, Dave came to himself, quickly realizing he was in the hospital.

“You had a heart attack,” said the old man, “and I actually am a heart doctor.”

A few hours later, Dave came to himself, quickly realizing he was in the hospital. The white walls and the smell of medicine surrounded him, and a nurse explained that he had been brought in by an old man. Just then, the old man walked into the room, with his face showing relief. Dave remembered helping him with a flat tire on the road, but now felt confused about how he ended up here. The old man explained that after Dave left, he saw him collapse by his truck and immediately called for an ambulance.
“You had a heart attack,” said the old man, “and I actually am a heart doctor.” Dave was shocked to hear this. The old man continued that when he found Dave unconscious, his medical training kicked in. He performed first aid and kept Dave stable until the ambulance arrived. “Your kindness in stopping to help me might have saved your own life,” the old man said. Dave felt a rush of gratitude. It was then that he realized that small acts of help can create unexpected connections and make a big difference in others’ lives.
