In a tech-driven world,Caine Monroy,a young inventive talent,stood out
with his imagination and cleverness,proving that a cardboard box and a dream
can produce something extraordinary.
英语试卷第4页(共12页)
It began in 2011 when nine-year-old Caine spent his summer vacation at his
father's car parts store in East Los Angeles.With few friends to play with he
found joy in making a cardboard game room with games like basketball goals,a
toy-catching machine,and soccer.His creativity was endless,and he ran his
game room with passion,charging $1 for two turns or $2 for a Fun Pass with 500
turns.
Despite his creativity and hard work,at first,few people pay attention to
Caine's game room,due to its location with little foot traffic.However,Caine
believed that one day he'd have customers.His game room was too good for
people not to enjoy.He kept working every day,building,improving,and
making it better.Then a documentary filmmaker,Nirvan Mullick,discovered
the game room and was impressed by Caine's determination,leading to a short
film about him.The documentary "Caine's game room"became popular on
social media,reaching all over the world and inspiring many to value imagination
and creativity.
The documentary became popular,and suddenly,Caine's game room
became a widely big success.Hundreds of people lined up at the car parts store,
eager to experience the wonder of the cardboard game room.The small,one-
dollar games that once sat unnoticed and overlooked now attracted attention from
all corners of the globe.It has also become an inspiration for teachers who use the
concept for STEAM lessons and summer projects.
Caine's popularity as a speaker comes from his remarkable experience,with
six.Forbes features and over 250,000 media impressions worldwide.He has given
two Ted X Talks and is preparing for a third.His speaking activities have taken
him to famous events like the Cannes Lions Festival and locations including New
York,San Francisco,USC,and the White House,all before his 18th birthday.
Currently,Caine is studying at college and writing his first show book.He
remains a popular speaker and is a role model for many young individuals,
inspiring them to welcome their creativity.

Extreme weather events,such as tornadoes,can cause widespread damage
to forests,leading to environmental and financial losses.When trees fall during
these storms,ecosystems might be influenced,increasing forest management
costs.As climate change worsens,severe storms are expected to become more
frequent,making it important to understand how forests respond to wind stress.
While previous studies have explored how trees react to wind,it is unclear
whether these responses remain the same across different forest configurations.
With this aim,a team of researchers led by Associate Professor Kana Kamimura,
tested how trees move under various forest arrangements and weather conditions,
including how trees withstand wind.
The research aims to explain how winds directly impact trees and how trees
reduce the stress from wind to survive.To achieve this,researchers set up two
experimental areas of cedar trees,in November 2017.In the first plot,P-100
was made up of 3,000 trees per hectare,creating a thick forest.In the second
plot,P-50,half of the trees were removed for this research,leaving 1,500 trees
per hectare.Over two years,the team watched 24 trees in the dense (
area and 12 in the thinned area,using tools to track the range of trees movement
during various wind conditions.The tracking period included many typhoons,
英语试卷第6页(共12页)
such as Typhoon Trami,in 2018,which caused significant damage to the thinned
plot.
The researchers found that cedar trees show two completely different swaying
(patterns depending on wind speed.In light winds,the trees swayed at
around 2 to 2.3 cycles per second,with their branches taking in much of the wind
energy,protecting the trunks and roots from wind stress.However,at higher
wind speeds,the trees changed to a slower swaying pattern of 0.2 to 0.5 cycles
per second.In this case,the whole tree swayed together,changing force across
the trunk and roots,increasing the probability of breakage or uprooting.
Interestingly,the change between these two swaying patterns occurred at
different wind speeds,depending on the forest density.In the dense area,the
trees switched patterns at wind speeds between 1.79 and 7.44 meters per second.
In contrast,in the thinned plot,the change occurred at slightly lower wind
speeds,ranging from 1.57 to 5.63 meters per second.
This study offers valuable understanding for balancing thinning with wind
resistance (in forest management to support long-lasting forestry practices,
and help forests go through extreme climate changes.
28.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
The results of the previous studies.
B.The practical reasons for the research.
C.The potential effects of extreme weather.
D.The challenges brought by climate changes.
29.What does the underlined word "configurations"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Areas.
B.Sizes.
C.Types.
D.Layouts.
30.
What can we infer from the study conducted by the researchers?
A.The trees tend to sway more violently as the wind becomes stronger.
B.The branches of trees took in most of the wind energy in strong wind.
C Planting trees in a thinned pattern can help protect trees from storms.
D.Trees in thinned plots change their swaying pattern in lighter winds.

31.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To call on people to plant more trees in thinned area.
B.To raise people's awareness of environment protection.
C.To offer ideas for a more reasonable forest management.
D.To compare the different swaying patterns of trees in storms.

This article was written by a human being,but AI technology that can
automatically create text is on the rise in many areas.As people depend on such
things,ensuring correct and clear responses and information to their users
becomes important.Many familiar tools,including ChatGPT and others,appear
very fluent in whatever they deliver,but their responses often include made-up
content they produce and cannot be fully trusted.Users unfamiliar with the topic
may mistakenly accept incorrect information,especially since AI
presents
responses with confident tones.
"You can't fail to notice how some AI systems can explain clearly while still
producing often significant errors,"Professor Takamitsu Watanabe from the
International Research Center for Neurointelligence (WPI-IRCN)told the
reporter."But what struck my team and me was a similarity between this behavior
and that of people with Wernicke's aphasia(失语症),where such people speak
fluently but don't always make much sense.That caused us to wonder if the wav
these AI systems work could be similar to those of the human brain affected by
aphasia,and if so,what the reminders might be.
To explore this idea,the team used a method called energy landscape
analysis,a technique originally developed by physicists seeking to visualize
)energy states,but which was recently adapted for neuroscience.They
examined patterns in resting brain activity from people with different types of
aphasia and compared them to internal data from several publicly available large
language models (LLMs).And in their analysis,the team did discover some
striking similarities.The way digital information or signals are moved around and
guided within these AI models closely matched the way some brain signals behaved
in the brains of people with certain types of aphasia,including Wernicke's
aphasia.
英语试卷第8页(共12页)
"You can imagine the energy landscape as a surface with a ball on it.When
there's a curve ()the ball may roll down and come to rest,but when the
curves are shallow,the ball may roll around everywhere,"Watanabe explained.
"In aphasia,the ball represents the person's brain state.In LLMs,it represents
the continuing signal pattern in the model based on its instructions and internal
dataset..”
The research has several reminders.For neuroscience,it offers a possible
new way to group and track conditions like aphasia based on internal brain activity
rather than just visible signs.For AI,it could lead to better testing tools that
help engineers improve the structure of AI systems from the inside out.Though,
despite the similarities the researchers discovered,they strongly advised not to
make too many assumptions.
32.Professor Watanabe compares AI systems with aphasia patients to show
A.AI systems can explain clearly
B.AI and aphasia brains are alike
C.it is hard to improve Al system
D.aphasia brains are affected by AI
33.What can we learn from professor Watanabe's research?
A.LLMs have copied human thinking process.
B.Aphasia patients can be cured for its obvious signs.
C.Language signals are guided to certain area of brains.
D.Problems occur during the process of signal moving.
34.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.AI Overconfidence Mirrors Human Brain Condition
B.AI Structure Reflects How Human Brain Develops
C.AI Improvement Follows Human Brain Research
D.AI System Reshapes Human's Way of Speaking

Impostor syndrome is the feeling that people have when they doubt their
abilities,even when they have been successful or have received praise.They
英语试卷第9页(共12页)
worry that one day,everyone will realize they are faking (it.It was first
described in 1978,when researchers observed it in successful businesswomen.
However,it can affect people of all sexes and careers.Studies estimate that 82%
of people experience it at some point in their lives.35 For example,women
working in fields with male majorities or minority students often suffer from it.
People with impostor syndrome have some shared characteristics.36
When they succeed,they frequently credit their success to luck rather than their
skills.Many are also uncomfortable receiving praise and often work harder than
necessary to prove their worth.
Many factors can contribute to impostor syndrome.37 Children with
controlling or overprotective parents often develop these feelings later in life.
Starting something new,like a job or school program,can also cause impostor
syndrome since people may be short of experience in their new roles.
The good news is that people can take several approaches to overcome it.
One method is to talk about your doubts with others.Sharing your feelings
reduces loneliness and allows others to remind you of your true abilities.38
Save positive feedback from others and track your achievements to serve as
reminders whenever doubt arises.
39 Focus on progress rather than excellence.When you make mistakes,
view them as chances to learn instead of proof that you are a fake.Joining support
groups can also help you realize that you are not alone in the fight against impostor
syndrome.Remember that feeling like an impostor doesn't mean you are one.By
using these strategies to overcome impostor syndrome,you may stop feeling like a
fake and truly enjoy your success.
Another useful strategy is to stop trying to be perfect.
B.Self-awareness can turn impostor syndrome into a growth tool.
C.Research suggests that family upbringing plays an important role.
D.High achievers in senior positions are more likely to experience it.
E.They tend to be individuals who aim to be perfect:in everything they do.
F.It is also important to celebrate your successesiinstead of overlooking them.
G.It is especially common among people who feel different from their age-mates.
