For five years,Colin Foord,an ocean biologist,has used an online livestream-the Coral
)City Camera-to show the world how corals survive in Miami's busy port.His project,watched
by millions,challenges the belief that urban areas harm nature."These corals prove life continues
even where humans contro,"Foord says Inspired by coral esystems,in 2019,he placed acamera
on corals near the port,showing 20 species living on the rocks.These "urban corals"survived
extreme heatwaves in 2023,while many others died"Their recovery ability gives us hope,"Foord
explains.His time-lapse videos of their recovery have become tools for education and inspiration
To protect ora,Foord co-founded a high-tech lab named Coral Morphologie,mixing science
with public participation During Mami's Art Basel Festival,his team projected coral images onto
buildings,attracting thousands to admire."Art makes people care,"he says.Volunteers now help
moitor the livestream.teaching viewers about ocean life like local sharks nearby.
Foord's work has influenced policymakers,and it inspires him to do more in turn.A
scientist called lan Enochs studies these corals,urging cities to protect urban sea life."They
英语试题第4页(共12页)
show how nature adapts to human activities."Enochs states.This research supports new laws to
reduce coastal pollution Foord started a communitydriven project:a7-mile artificial reef (near
Miami Beach not long ago.Created with artists and schools,it will serve as both a coral habitat and
an educational park.“"Students will plant corals and learn ecological(生态f的)protection,”Foord
says The project aims to inspire responsibility for oceanic health.
Foord's camera also unites people from all walks of life.TV hosts share coral facts,
while teachers use Foord's livestream in classrooms."One student told me she wants to be
an ocean biologist-that's the real success.Foord smiles.His message is clear:human
efforts can rewrite the story of endangered species.
24.Why did Colin Foord start the Coral City Camera?

We live in a culture addicted to immediacy.We're flooded with quick fixes-diet pills for rapid
weight loss,fitness programs claiming"two-week body changes",and language apps promising
fluency through"10-minute daily lessons".This addiction badly affects our view of real progress
True achievement,however,follows a different pattern.The saying "no pain,no
gain”holds timeless wisdom:real success requires continuous effort.Ironically(讽剌的
)while we admire stories of perseverance-leaders overcoming failures,athletes
recovering from severe injuries-we seek easy shortcuts ourselves.Actually,our belief in
effortless change is a thief,stealing the essential process where struggles build strength.
Nature shows how growth truly works.Significant changes occur through patient
preparation,not rushed shortcuts.Consider bamboo.Hidden underground for years,it
develops a strong but invisible root system.Only after this hidden labor does it shoot up
英语试题第5页(共12页)
rapidly.gaining nearly a meter in height daily.Similarly,a caterpillar (completely
breaks down into nutrient-rich liquid within its chrysalis before becoming into a
butterfly with strong wings.These natural processes tell a rule that true progress comes
from unseen work.not sudden jumps.
Human efforts to rush natural processes often backfire.Forcing open a chrysalis to
"help"the butterfly leaves its wings weak,as it skips key growth stages.Likewise,
demanding instant results in skill development or emotional healing ruins the gradual brain
changes and necessary mental adjustments.Even cherry flowers need months of winter rest
to store energy-a reality often ignored in our rush for immediate beauty.
Lasting change respects natural timelines rather than forcing strict deadlines.Skill
mastery needs repeated practice to strengthen brain connections.Language fluency develops
after thousands of practice hours,not through last-minute studying.By valuing hidden
efforts over instant results,we hold the basic truth.When impatience pushes us toward
quick fixes,let nature act as a reminder that greatness begins in silence before blooming
into view.

When solving a simple puzzle-"Julia has two sisters and one brother.How many
sisters does her brother Martin have?",humans easily use logic to get the correct answer
(three sisters).However,AI models like GPT-4 often mistakenly answer"two",showing
the limitations in large language models (LLMs)for structured reasoning tasks.This gap
has pushed tech companies to develop more advanced "large reasoning models (LRMs)"
英语试题第6页(共12页)
LRMs like OpenAI ol aim to follow human approach through chain-of-thought
reasoning..For the puzzle,.anL,RM would count siblings(兄弟姐妹),take Martin's view,
and conclude three sisters.This system has significantly improved AI performance in
academic fields.OpenAl ol,for example,ranked among top 500 in a USA Math Olympiad
and beat scientists in biochemistry tests.These advancements have increased business
demand,with the use of quality LRM costing up to $20,000 monthly.
Developers train LRMs using two methods.Supervised learning trains models on
human-written reasoning steps or graded AI answers.Reinforcement learning,a cost-
efficient method,allows AI to explore answers independently with rewards only for correct
answers.DeepSeek R1 model,trained purely this way,achieved record reasoning
correctness,proving AI's possible self-learning advantage over US models.
While LRMs do well in structured tasks like exams,their real-world problem-solving
abilities remain unproven.Experts warn that using human-like expressions like "Aha!"in
explanations may create false trust.Studies show Al-generated explanations often mismatch
the model's actual decision-making process,raising transparency (concerns.
Moral and operational issues make LRMs'adoption even harder.Most companies keep
technical details secret,limiting independent research.In contrast,DeepSeek openly shares
RI model's design and data,enabling objective assessments and encouraging cooperation
and public trust.
As LRMs advance,balancing progress with responsibility is vital.While LRMs
represent a big step in machine intelligence,their social impact relies upon strict testing,
moral guidelines and public awareness.Transparency and independent regulation will be
essential to ensure these tools benefit humanity without repeating past errors.
32.What do we know from the puzzle in Paragraph 1?
A.AI's better logical reasoning abilities.
B LLMs'structured reasoning weaknesses.
C.GPT-4's success in counting siblings.
D.Human failure to solve math puzzles.
33.What is special about reinforcement learning in training LRMs?
A.It improves language creativity.
B.It causes higher training costs.
C.It demands more human rewards.
D.It reduces dependence on humans.
34.Why does the author use the example of "Aha!"in Paragraph 4?
A.To reveal LRMs'possible limitations.
B.To prove LRMs'logic strength.
C.To show LRMs'creative language use.
D.To explain LRMs'reasoning process.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.AI Development:Costs and Profits
B.Language Models:Successes and Failures
C.AI Reasoning:Progress and Challenges
D.Machine Learning:Methods and Applications

In today's digital world,short-form videos have become an essential part of daily life,
especially for teenagers.Some plat forms have changed how we consume content,providing
quick.interesting videos for our fast-paced lives.But why are these videos so attractive?
36 The following sections will explore the psychology (behind short-form
videos,their impact on teenagers,and how to find a healthy balance.
Short-form videos are designed to attract attention quickly.Studies show that the
average human attention span has dropped to just 8 seconds,making it harder to focus on
long content.37They also provide quick pleasure by releasing dopamine,a brain
chemical linked to happiness and reward,which keeps viewers coming back for more.
However,the appeal of short-form videos comes with risks.38 In 2024,the term
"brain rot"gained popularity to describe how watching too much low-quality online content
may change the way our brain works,leading not only to poor concentration but also to
anxiety.Moreover,the constant stream of information can limit deep thinking and
connection with the world around us.
39 Setting time limits on device usage,choosing educational content,and taking
part in offline activities are practical steps for teens.Parents can set good examples by
reducing their own screen time.Schools can teach digital skills,helping students critically
analyze content and manage their time online.
Finally,short-form videos are not basically bad-they are tools that can be used
wisely.By understanding their psychological appeal and managing usage mindfully,
teenagers can enjoy the benefits of these platforms while avoiding their disadvantages.
40
A.The social aspect cannot be overlooked.
B.These videos feed our brains'demand for instant excitement.
C.Finding balance ensures technology improves life,not controls it.
D.It is not just a trend but is deeply rooted in psychological principles.
E.And what are the possible risks of spending too much time on them?
F.Over-consuming short-form videos can weaken long-term concentration.
G.To overcome these challenges,teenagers,families,and schools can work together.

When I retired,I found myself with more time and wanted to use it meaningfully.I
