Hawn never imagined she’d find her passion in such an unusual field. Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. Her role comes with a diverse set of responsibilities, from detecting and treating head lice using an officially approved device to scheduling appointments, selling products, collecting payments, and providing education to patients.
Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice. For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference.
Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare. Through her experience, Hawn has realized that her true passion lies in helping others regain their confidence and peace of mind.
Hawn has been working at the clinic for nearly five years. Despite the misconceptions people have about lice, she remains committed to her work. She even addresses the common myth that lice can fly or jump, explaining that lice only spread through direct head-to-head contact. Hawn takes precautions to ensure she doesn’t carry anything home after treatments. While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this.
Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day. Her work at the lice clinic has been a stepping stone toward a promising future in health care.
24. Hawn believes that working at the clinic can bring her a sense of ________.
A. relief B. belonging C. satisfaction D. responsibility
25. What does the underlined word “assuage” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Tolerate. B. Record. C. Ease. D. Explain.
26. What can we know about Hawn from paragraph 4?
A. She finds that her job is quite challenging. B. She has to turn to her parents for the debt.
C. She often fails to catch up with her schedule. D. She works to support herself through college.
27. What does Hawn probably intend to do after graduation?
A. Devote herself to health care. B. Reconsider her initial work plan.
C. Further her study on medicine. D. Get a full-time job at the lice clinic.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】 本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Hawn在一家虱子诊所工作的经历和感受,包括她的工作职责、对患者的帮助、个人成长与收获、对工作的坚持与投入,以及未来的职业规划等。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. (尽管路径非比寻常,但她在虱子诊所的工作中找到了深切的满足感。)”以及第二段“For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference. (对Hawn而言,亲眼看到自己对他人生活产生的积极影响意义非凡。)”可知,Hawn在诊所工作中找到了深切的满足感,且因自己对他人生活产生积极影响而感到意义重大。故选C。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice.(然而,Hawn的首要任务是……患者的恐惧。她从工作中收获巨大快乐:帮助母亲们在漫长的日子后避免恐慌发作,让少女们免于在学校尴尬,为饱受头虱困扰的人们带来心安。)”可知,Hawn帮助母亲避免恐慌、让少女免于尴尬、为患者带来心安。由此可知,“assuage”应表示“减轻、缓解”恐惧。选项C“ease”意为“缓解”,与此相符。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this.(虽然平衡诊所工作与学业颇具挑战,但Hawn通过周末轮班来应对。幸运的是,雇主愿意配合她的学校日程。她在整个求学过程中的主要目标是毕业时不背负债务,而虱子诊所为她提供了实现这一目标的途径。)”可知,Hawn通过在诊所工作支付学费,以实现毕业无债务的目标。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare.(在虱子诊所的工作不仅帮助她培养了职业技能,也坚定了她从事医疗保健工作的意愿。)”以及最后一段“Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day.(展望未来,Hawn计划毕业后专注于当前的工作,但也愿意继续在虱子诊所兼职。她甚至考虑过有朝一日开设自己的诊所。在虱子诊所的工作,已成为她迈向医疗保健领域光明未来的一块垫脚石。)”可知,Hawn在诊所的工作坚定了她从事医疗保健行业的意愿,未来计划专注于当前领域(属于医疗保健范畴),甚至考虑开设自己的诊所。故选A。
C
Humans have always been creating security systems to deal with the sorts of mistakes humans commonly make. Now, humanity is rapidly integrating a totally different kind of mistake-maker into society: artificial intelligence (AI).
Technologies like large language models (LLMs) can perform many cognitive (认知的) tasks traditionally fulfilled by humans, but they make plenty of mistakes. Unlike human mistakes, AI errors lack patterns and usually show invisibility even when they are incorrect.
This situation indicates two possible areas of research. The first is to engineer LLMs that make more human-like mistakes. The second is to build new mistake-correcting systems that deal with the specific sorts of mistakes that LLMs tend to make.
We already have some tools to lead LLMs to act in more human-like ways and the tools perform far better than we expected. Many of these arise from the field of “alignment” research, which aims to make models act in accordance with the goals and motivations of their human developers. One example is the technique that was arguably responsible for the breakthrough success of an app: reinforcement (强化) learning with human feedback. In this method, an AI model is rewarded for producing responses that get a thumbs-up from human evaluators.
When it comes to catching AI mistakes, some of the systems that we use to prevent human mistakes will help. To an extent, forcing LLMs to double-check their own work can help prevent errors. But LLMs can also make up seemingly reasonable, but truly ridiculous explanations for their flights from reason.
In addition, other mistake reduction systems for AI are also unlike anything we use for humans. Because machines can’t get tired or frustrated in the way that humans do, it can help to ask an LLM the same question repeatedly in slightly different ways and then combine its multiple responses. These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms (机制) that match the unique nature of AI—ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies.
28. How are AI mistakes different from human mistakes?
A. They are not easy to detect.
B. They follow predictable patterns.
C. They tend to be in larger numbers.
D. They are not related to cognitive tasks.
29. What does the author want to stress about the tools for leading the behavior of LLMs?
A. They have certain positive effects.
B. Their application hasn't been popular.
C. They need further training for human evaluators’ rewards.
D. Their goals have not met the original intentions of human developers.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. AI mistakes are easier to fix than human errors.
B. Humans require tailored solutions for AI errors.
C. AI is able to copy any systems we use for humans.
D. Systems for correcting human mistakes can prevent LLMs mistakes fully.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Is AI Always Right? B. When Do Human Errors Increase?
C. Adapting to AI Error Patterns D. Making AI Mistakes Manageable
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. D

D
For decades, recursion (递归) — the ability to create patterns within patterns, like boxes fitting inside each other — was seen as a skill only humans used in language. This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history.
Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans.
Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers.
Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words.
By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.”
32. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls?
A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms.
B. Their calls are identical across all situations.
C. They use unique words to identify different threats.
D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers.
33. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers?
A. Their calls became quicker and higher. B. They produced deeper sounds.
C. They completely stopped voice. D. Their sounds change with a fast-paced rhythm.
34. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language?
A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans.
B. It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history.
C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems.
D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors.
35. What is the text?
A. A news article. B. A scientific study.
C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于红毛猩猩叫声结构的研究发现,研究人员通过研究发现红毛猩猩的叫声展现了类人猿中类似人类递归语言的复杂结构。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds.(他们发现这些叫声中存在一个令人惊讶的三级重复模式)”可知,研究人员发现猩猩的警报叫声遵循一种有规律的模式,包含多个层次。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper.(重要的是,这些猩猩会根据危险情况改变它们的叫声。当出现真正的捕猎者(如老虎)时,它们的叫声会变得更快、更尖锐)”可知,当面临真正的危险时,猩猩的叫声变得越来越急促、越来越高亢。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.(递归结构很可能并非突然在人类身上出现,而是由我们的远古祖先逐渐发展而来的)”可知,递归现象可能是由早期人类祖先逐渐演变而来的。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history.(然而,一项关于野生猩猩的新研究对这一观点提出了质疑,该研究表明这种能力可能在我们共同的进化历程中出现得更为早些)”以及文章主要介绍了关于红毛猩猩叫声结构的研究发现,研究人员通过研究发现红毛猩猩的叫声展现了类人猿中类似人类递归语言的复杂结构。可知,文章是一项科学研究。故选B。

【答案】参考范文:
Good morning, everyone!
I am honored to stand here to deliver a speech. An apology is more than just words; it mends broken relationships and shows courage. When we admit our mistakes, we take responsibility and bridge the gap between us and others. It heals wounds, rebuilds trust, and fosters understanding.
Last month, I forgot to return my classmate Lily’s favorite book and accidentally spilled coffee on it. She was heartbroken, and we argued. Later, I realized my carelessness hurt her. I wrote her a letter, sincerely saying sorry and offering to replace the book. To my relief, she forgave me, and our friendship grew stronger.
Remember, a genuine apology can open the door to forgiveness. Never hesitate to say “I’m sorry”—it could be the start of a brighter connection.
Thank you!

I still remember that sunny morning in 2008 as if it were yesterday. My husband Jacky packed us into our old MPV(多功能车)—Julie, my 4-year-old daughter, giggling in the second row, Mikey, just a baby at 2, sitting beside her, and I sat alone in the back.
“Stay put,” Jacky said, patting the roof of the MPV. “I’ll be right back. Just buying a quick coffee and donuts.”
“Okay, honey,” I replied, already imagining the sweet glaze on the donuts he’d bring back. But as soon as Jacky disappeared into the donut shop, Mikey started crying. His tiny fists pounded the seat in front of him. “Shhh, Mikey,” I whispered. “Play car-car, Mikey! Like we do at home!”
Mikey paused, his tear-streaked face turning curious. The front bench seat was wide and soft, and since I unlocked his safety belt, he slid over to the driver’s side, copying his dad’s grown-up ways. “Vroom vroom!” he screamed, holding the steering wheel with his little fat hands.
Then everything went wrong.
With a loud clunk(沉闷声), the MPV trembled. Mikey’s foot had accidentally pushed the hand brake, and suddenly, we were rolling backward. Slowly at first, down the gentle slope of the street, toward the two-lane highway below. Cars sped past like silver arrows. My heart pounded. “Julie, hold Mikey!” I shouted, climbing over the seat. But Julie just stared, her mouth open in fear.
The MPV picked up speed. I grasped the door handle, desperate to push it open, but the door was heavy, the lock stubborn. Panic clawed at my throat. At that moment, I just wished time could stand still until my husband came back or someone else could notice our MPV’s abnormality.

【答案】参考范文:
And then I saw a young man running toward us from the coffee shop. Jacky was behind him, face pale, but the young man didn’t hesitate. He dashed forward, opened the passenger door, and put Mikey aside. His foot slammed the brake pedal. The MPV trembled and stopped just inches from the highway. For a moment, we sat in panicked silence. Then the stranger turned, his breath ragged. “Are you okay?” he asked, smiling. I nodded, too shocked to speak. Jacky reached us then, gratitude flooding his voice. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”
The young man just smiled, “Anybody would ’ve done it.” But I knew he was wrong. Not everybody would’ve acted so fast. That day, I learned courage isn’t about being fearless it’s about doing what needs to be done, even when your hands shake and your heart races. Over the years, I’ve told this story again and again, not just to remember the stranger’s bravery, but to remind myself: when someone needs help, don’t wait. Act.15 years later. I still wonder about that young man. Where is he now? Does he know how many times his kindness has echoed through our family? But one thing’s for sure—his lesson stays with me every day.

Hawn never imagined she’d find her passion in such an unusual field. Despite the unconventional path, she has discovered deep contentment with working at a lice (虱子) clinic. Her role comes with a diverse set of responsibilities, from detecting and treating head lice using an officially approved device to scheduling appointments, selling products, collecting payments, and providing education to patients.
Yet. Hawn’s primary focus is to assuage the fears of her patients. She takes enormous joy in helping mothers avoid panic attacks after long days, saving teenage girls from embarrassment at school, and bringing peace of mind to those who have been dealing with lice. For Hawn, seeing the positive impact she has on people’s lives makes a big difference.
Working at the lice clinic has not only helped her develop career skills, but it has also confirmed her desire to work in healthcare. Through her experience, Hawn has realized that her true passion lies in helping others regain their confidence and peace of mind.
Hawn has been working at the clinic for nearly five years. Despite the misconceptions people have about lice, she remains committed to her work. She even addresses the common myth that lice can fly or jump, explaining that lice only spread through direct head-to-head contact. Hawn takes precautions to ensure she doesn’t carry anything home after treatments. While balancing her work at the clinic with school is demanding, Hawn manages by taking weekend shifts. She is fortunate to have employers who accommodate her school schedule. Her primary goal throughout her education has been to graduate debt-free, and the lice clinic has provided her with the means to achieve this.
Looking to the future, Hawn plans to focus on her current work after graduation but she is open to continuing part-time at the lice clinic. She has even considered opening her own clinic one day. Her work at the lice clinic has been a stepping stone toward a promising future in health care.
24. Hawn believes that working at the clinic can bring her a sense of ________.
A. relief B. belonging C. satisfaction D. responsibility
25. What does the underlined word “assuage” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Tolerate. B. Record. C. Ease. D. Explain.
26. What can we know about Hawn from paragraph 4?
A. She finds that her job is quite challenging. B. She has to turn to her parents for the debt.
C. She often fails to catch up with her schedule. D. She works to support herself through college.
27. What does Hawn probably intend to do after graduation?
A. Devote herself to health care. B. Reconsider her initial work plan.
C. Further her study on medicine. D. Get a full-time job at the lice clinic.
C
Humans have always been creating security systems to deal with the sorts of mistakes humans commonly make. Now, humanity is rapidly integrating a totally different kind of mistake-maker into society: artificial intelligence (AI).
Technologies like large language models (LLMs) can perform many cognitive (认知的) tasks traditionally fulfilled by humans, but they make plenty of mistakes. Unlike human mistakes, AI errors lack patterns and usually show invisibility even when they are incorrect.
This situation indicates two possible areas of research. The first is to engineer LLMs that make more human-like mistakes. The second is to build new mistake-correcting systems that deal with the specific sorts of mistakes that LLMs tend to make.
We already have some tools to lead LLMs to act in more human-like ways and the tools perform far better than we expected. Many of these arise from the field of “alignment” research, which aims to make models act in accordance with the goals and motivations of their human developers. One example is the technique that was arguably responsible for the breakthrough success of an app: reinforcement (强化) learning with human feedback. In this method, an AI model is rewarded for producing responses that get a thumbs-up from human evaluators.
When it comes to catching AI mistakes, some of the systems that we use to prevent human mistakes will help. To an extent, forcing LLMs to double-check their own work can help prevent errors. But LLMs can also make up seemingly reasonable, but truly ridiculous explanations for their flights from reason.
In addition, other mistake reduction systems for AI are also unlike anything we use for humans. Because machines can’t get tired or frustrated in the way that humans do, it can help to ask an LLM the same question repeatedly in slightly different ways and then combine its multiple responses. These differences highlight the need for new, custom-made correction mechanisms (机制) that match the unique nature of AI—ensuring these technologies can be safely and reliably integrated into human societies.
28. How are AI mistakes different from human mistakes?
A. They are not easy to detect.
B. They follow predictable patterns.
C. They tend to be in larger numbers.
D. They are not related to cognitive tasks.
29. What does the author want to stress about the tools for leading the behavior of LLMs?
A. They have certain positive effects.
B. Their application hasn't been popular.
C. They need further training for human evaluators’ rewards.
D. Their goals have not met the original intentions of human developers.
30. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. AI mistakes are easier to fix than human errors.
B. Humans require tailored solutions for AI errors.
C. AI is able to copy any systems we use for humans.
D. Systems for correcting human mistakes can prevent LLMs mistakes fully.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Is AI Always Right? B. When Do Human Errors Increase?
C. Adapting to AI Error Patterns D. Making AI Mistakes Manageable
D
For decades, recursion (递归) — the ability to create patterns within patterns, like boxes fitting inside each other — was seen as a skill only humans used in language. This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history.
Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans.
Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers.
Dr. Chiara De Gregorio lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words.
By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.”
32. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls?
A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms.
B. Their calls are identical across all situations.
C. They use unique words to identify different threats.
D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers.
33. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers?
A. Their calls became quicker and higher. B. They produced deeper sounds.
C. They completely stopped voice. D. Their sounds change with a fast-paced rhythm.
34. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language?
A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans.
B. It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history.
C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems.
D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors.
35. What is the text?
A. A news article. B. A scientific study.
C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide.

I still remember that sunny morning in 2008 as if it were yesterday. My husband Jacky packed us into our old MPV(多功能车)—Julie, my 4-year-old daughter, giggling in the second row, Mikey, just a baby at 2, sitting beside her, and I sat alone in the back.
“Stay put,” Jacky said, patting the roof of the MPV. “I’ll be right back. Just buying a quick coffee and donuts.”
“Okay, honey,” I replied, already imagining the sweet glaze on the donuts he’d bring back. But as soon as Jacky disappeared into the donut shop, Mikey started crying. His tiny fists pounded the seat in front of him. “Shhh, Mikey,” I whispered. “Play car-car, Mikey! Like we do at home!”
Mikey paused, his tear-streaked face turning curious. The front bench seat was wide and soft, and since I unlocked his safety belt, he slid over to the driver’s side, copying his dad’s grown-up ways. “Vroom vroom!” he screamed, holding the steering wheel with his little fat hands.
Then everything went wrong.
With a loud clunk(沉闷声), the MPV trembled. Mikey’s foot had accidentally pushed the hand brake, and suddenly, we were rolling backward. Slowly at first, down the gentle slope of the street, toward the two-lane highway below. Cars sped past like silver arrows. My heart pounded. “Julie, hold Mikey!” I shouted, climbing over the seat. But Julie just stared, her mouth open in fear.
The MPV picked up speed. I grasped the door handle, desperate to push it open, but the door was heavy, the lock stubborn. Panic clawed at my throat. At that moment, I just wished time could stand still until my husband came back or someone else could notice our MPV’s abnormality.
注意:

And then I saw a young man running toward us from the coffee shop.
