During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old with congenital (先天的) deafness, received offers from seven universities, after years of efforts.
Born in 2005 in a village in Hubei Province, Hu lost his father at five and later lived with his grandparents after his mother remarried. Supported by his family, he was admitted to a school for children with hearing disability. “Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu sighed. “When I first started school, everything felt scary. I couldn’t hear anything, completely lost. I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others.But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.”
Hu recalls how his teachers used tailored techniques and tools to aid learning. After middle school, Hu attended a specialized high school. For students with hearing and speech impairments (损伤), learning English proved particularly difficult. While many of his schoolmates had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no previous exposure, making the task even more challenging.
“My key is reading, writing, and translation,” Hu said. He created a detailed study plan and excelled. Hu Miaokun took the national college en trance examination. His hard work paid off. Since August, Hu Miaokun has received offers from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology.
With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.”
24. What was Hu Miaokun’s early life like?
A. Full of hardships. B. Rich and carefree.
C. Lacking in attention. D. Simple and ordinary.
25. Why does the author mention English learning?

A. Caring and loving. B. Generous and grateful.
C. Honest and demanding. D. Determined and ambitious.
27. What is Hu Miaokun’s primary long-term goal?

We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring. Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom. However the same studies reveal that consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals.
That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online, the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom.
To investigate the role that fast- forwarding and switching videos has in boredom, Dr Katy Tam, the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people. In the first trial, the study participants had two viewing experiences. They both watched a 10- minute video without the option to switch or fast- forward and then had a 10- minute period where they could switch between seven 5- minute videos. In the second experiment, participants watched a 10- minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast- forward or rewind through a 50- minute video.
Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful.
Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.”
Finally, said Tam, it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast- forward or skip buttons. “Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.”
28. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2mean?
A. Ease. B. Understand. C. Define. D. Justify.
29. Tam’s study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when ______.
A. the length of a video was too long. B. the video content was played repeatedly.
C. they switched between videos and within video. D. they watched the same video through to the end.
30. What did Tam present in paragraph 5?
A. Ways of watching videos. B. The design of his experiment.
C. Examples of divided attention. D. The cause of people’s boredom.
31. What was Tam’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Pay for a viewing experience. B. Refer to the ratings before watching videos.
C. Go to a cinema for an immersive experience. D. Stay focused on the content while watching videos.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于无聊感的研究,指出快速浏览和切换视频可能会增加无聊感,并提出了相关建议。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online(这种结果可能是不断地在不同的在线内容之间“切换”的产物)”以及后文“present boredom(当前的无聊)”可知,不断切换在线内容以及追求下一个媒体是为了缓解当下的无聊。故划线词意思是“缓解”。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful.(参与者预测,在两个实验中,切换或快进的选择不会让他们感到无聊,但之后他们报告说,他们发现从头到尾看一个视频更有吸引力、更满意、更有意义)”可知,Tam的研究发现,当参与者在视频之间切换和在视频内部切换时,他们的无聊程度更高。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.”(Tam说,无聊与注意力密切相关。“当我们的投入程度和我们想要的投入程度之间存在差距时,我们会感到无聊,”她说。“当人们不停地切换视频时,他们对视频的参与度就会降低,他们会寻找更有趣的东西。这可能会增加无聊感。”)”可知,Tam在第5段提出了人们无聊的原因。故选D。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.”(她说:“我们的研究表明,虽然人们为了避免无聊而快进或跳过视频,但这种行为实际上会让他们感到更加无聊。就像我们花钱去电影院享受身临其境的体验一样,享受往往来自于让自己沉浸在视频中,而不是在视频中刷屏。”)”可知,Tam在最后一段的建议是看视频时要专注于内容。故选D。
D
When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断) and provide personalized treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information..
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems allowing people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological progress. The appearance of the digital mirror world will raise new questions, but its potential benefits are already easy to see.
32. Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual copy. B. A video game. C. A toy model. D. A medical database.
33. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulatıons of hearts?
A. To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B. To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C. To help increase the patients’ recovery rates.
D. To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
34. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
C. It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D. It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Potential Threat to Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving
C. Digital Twins: A New Age of Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Double-Edged Sword of Technology
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. (未来去看医生时,你可能会有一个虚拟的自己陪同。这个所谓的数字孪生体将是你身体的一个运行模型,可以显示在医生的电脑屏幕上。)”可知,数字孪生是人体的虚拟模型,即虚拟副本。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. (无论这看起来多么不真实,伦敦大学玛丽皇后学院(QMUL)的研究人员已经使用患者心脏的计算机模拟来测试心脏疾病的不同治疗方法。在别人的真实心脏上用这种方式进行实验太危险了。)”可知,研究人员使用计算机模拟心脏是为了避免在真实心脏上进行实验的危险。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this is being powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information. (所有这些都是由人工智能(AI)的最新进展推动的,这使得数字孪生能够对其物理对应物进行预测,并根据新信息调整自己。)”可知,人工智能使数字孪生能够预测结果并根据新信息自行调整,从而推动了数字孪生的发展。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第四段中“Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters. (数字孪生让人类更容易解决具有挑战性的问题,使人们能够一窥未来。对于企业而言,这意味着更好的设计和运营。对社会来说,其前景也令人着迷:个性化医疗保健,以及防止地球遭受环境灾难的方法。)”可知,文章主要介绍了数字孪生技术在解决问题和推动社会进步方面的潜力,B项“Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving (数字孪生:解决问题的未来)”符合文章主旨,适宜作为文章标题使用。故选B项。

【36题详解】
空格处是本段主题句,根据空后的“If your friend is angry about a situation at work, help her see the positive side of things. Hear out her problem before reacting (回应). But try to help her asking questions such as, “What things can you do to make the situation better?” or “What’s been happening at work lately that’s been good?”(如果你的朋友对工作中的某件事很生气,帮助她看到事情积极的一面。在做出反应之前先听听她的问题。但试着帮助她问一些问题,比如,“你能做些什么来改善情况?”或者“最近工作上发生了什么好事?”)”可知,本段主要说明的是帮助朋友看到事情积极的一面,B选项“Help her to see the positive side(帮助她看到积极的一面)”概括了本段主要内容,可作为主题句。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据第三段的主题句“Send her a card or postcard.(给她寄张卡片或明信片。)”与空前一句“Drop a note in the mail to her.(给她寄封信。)”判断,本段建议给朋友写封邮件或者寄张明信片,因此推断空格处要说她寄卡片相关的内容,G项“If you include one with a funny card, that’s better(如果你附上一张有趣的卡片,那就更好了)”,符合语境,承接上文,呼应主题。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据该空后的“as they can help her build confidence and self-esteem(因为它们可以帮助她建立自信和自尊)”判断,空格处要说到一些帮助她建立自信和自尊的事情,E项“Don’t be afraid to tell your friend these things(不要害怕告诉你的朋友这些事)”提到要告诉朋友一些事情,其中的“these things”指代前面提到的有关“they are smart, strong, and beautiful”的事情,而告诉朋友这些事情能帮助她建立自信和自尊,与下文构成因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据主题句Try out new things together.(一起尝试新事物)和空后的“If you want your friends to be happy, encourage them to try new things with you.(如果你想让你的朋友开心,鼓励他们和你一起尝试新事物。)”判断,本段建议和朋友一起尝试新事物,因此空格处应该提到新事物,D项“In turn, discover new things you love(反过来,发现你喜欢的新事物)”提到要发现新事物,其中的“new things”和空后的“new things”相一致,因此D选项符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据空前的主题句“Bring her one of her favorite treats.(给她带一个她最喜欢的食物。)”与空后一句“Maybe she can’t live without an afternoon coffee, or maybe she has a special love for black forest cake.(也许她离不开下午的咖啡,也许她对黑森林蛋糕情有独钟。)”判断,本段建议给朋友带一些她最喜欢的美食,故C项“You know what your friend likes(你知道你朋友喜欢什么)”说到了你知道朋友喜欢什么,承上启下,呼应主题,引出下文朋友可能喜欢的食物。故选C。

One day, Emma’s mother brought Emma to her favorite steak house (牛排餐厅). She was excited all the way when she was sitting in her mother’s car. Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!”
“Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window.
“Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke.
She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?”
Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before.
“No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother.
“Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes. And she realized that the man was the figure that flashed by the roadside when her daughter leaned out of the window in the car.
“Of course, you can,” her mother agreed.

【答案】范文
Emma quickly left the table with the full plate of food in hand. As Emma approached the homeless man, her eyes filled with empathy. She greeted him with a warm smile and handed him the plate of food. On receiving the food, the man could hardly conceal his excitement and thanked her joyfully. Meanwhile, Emma sat down beside him, engaging in a heartfelt conservation. Witnessing the moving scene, the mother felt a sense of satisfaction.
As Emma returned, her mother smiled proudly. Moved and delighted, her mother gave her a big hug and praised her for extending a helping hand to the homeless man outside. With another large plate of steak ordered on the table, a surge of happiness and warmth running Emma, she was so relieved that she tasted the steak happily. At that moment, the mother realized that Emma had taught her an invaluable lesson-the joy of giving. While the steak may have been Emma’s favorite, Emma understood the importance of sharing and making a difference in someone else’s life.

During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old with congenital (先天的) deafness, received offers from seven universities, after years of efforts.
Born in 2005 in a village in Hubei Province, Hu lost his father at five and later lived with his grandparents after his mother remarried. Supported by his family, he was admitted to a school for children with hearing disability. “Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu sighed. “When I first started school, everything felt scary. I couldn’t hear anything, completely lost. I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others.But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.”
Hu recalls how his teachers used tailored techniques and tools to aid learning. After middle school, Hu attended a specialized high school. For students with hearing and speech impairments (损伤), learning English proved particularly difficult. While many of his schoolmates had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no previous exposure, making the task even more challenging.
“My key is reading, writing, and translation,” Hu said. He created a detailed study plan and excelled. Hu Miaokun took the national college en trance examination. His hard work paid off. Since August, Hu Miaokun has received offers from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology.
With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.”
24. What was Hu Miaokun’s early life like?
A. Full of hardships. B. Rich and carefree.
C. Lacking in attention. D. Simple and ordinary.
25. Why does the author mention English learning?
A. To show the barriers Hu met. B. To recommend the key to learning.
C. To highlight the importance of English. D. To promote daily interactions in English.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Hu?
A. Caring and loving. B. Generous and grateful.
C. Honest and demanding. D. Determined and ambitious.
27. What is Hu Miaokun’s primary long-term goal?
A. To become a software developer.
B. To expand his network of supporters.
C. To specialize in areas of product modeling.
D. To give back to society employing his skills.
C
We are all guilty of grabbing our phones and scrolling through social media when times get boring. Psychologists have noted in numerous studies over the past decade that individuals engage in social media and other digital media to escape boredom. However the same studies reveal that consuming such media can actually increase boredom in individuals.
That result may be a product of constantly “switching” between different content online, the endless pursuit of the next piece of media to alleviate present boredom.
To investigate the role that fast- forwarding and switching videos has in boredom, Dr Katy Tam, the lead author of the research and researchers performed two experiments on about 1,200 people. In the first trial, the study participants had two viewing experiences. They both watched a 10- minute video without the option to switch or fast- forward and then had a 10- minute period where they could switch between seven 5- minute videos. In the second experiment, participants watched a 10- minute video in one round and in the other round were allowed to fast- forward or rewind through a 50- minute video.
Participants predicted they would be less bored with the option to switch or fast- forward for both experiments but reported afterward that they found watching one video all the way through to be more engaging, satisfying and meaningful.
Tam said boredom was closely linked to attention. “We feel bored when there’s a gap between how engaged we are and how engaged we want to be,” she said. “When people keep switching through videos, they become less engaged with the videos and they are looking for something more interesting. This can lead to increased feelings of boredom.”
Finally, said Tam, it could be worth taking your time before hitting the fast- forward or skip buttons. “Our research shows that while people fast- forward or skip video s to avoid boredom, this behaviour can actually make them feel more bored,” she said. “Just as we pay for an immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theatre, enjoyment often comes from immersing ourselves in videos rather than swiping (滚屏) through them.”
28. What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2mean?
A. Ease. B. Understand. C. Define. D. Justify.
29. Tam’s study found that participants reported higher levels of boredom when ______.
A the length of a video was too long. B. the video content was played repeatedly.
C. they switched between videos and within video. D. they watched the same video through to the end.
30. What did Tam present in paragraph 5?
A. Ways of watching videos. B. The design of his experiment.
C. Examples of divided attention. D. The cause of people’s boredom.
31. What was Tam’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Pay for a viewing experience. B. Refer to the ratings before watching videos.
C. Go to a cinema for an immersive experience. D. Stay focused on the content while watching videos.
D
When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断) and provide personalized treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information..
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological progress. The appearance of the digital mirror world will raise new questions, but its potential benefits are already easy to see.
32. Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual copy. B. A video game. C. A toy model. D. A medical database.
33. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulatıons of hearts?
A. To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B. To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C. To help increase the patients’ recovery rates.
D. To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
34. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
C. It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D. It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Potential Threat to Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving
C. Digital Twins: A New Age of Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Double-Edged Sword of Technology

Listening to the wonderful music, she couldn’t help but dance in the back seat. Considering her safety, her mother had to stop her and said, “Hey! My sweety! Please be quiet and fasten your seat belt!”
“Okay! Mom,” she answered while continuing to roll down the car window.
“Emma! Don’t head out of the window! This is very dangerous! No hands either!” Mom raised his voice as she spoke.
She said yes and then quietly sat back in place. But there was no previous happiness. She got off in silence and ordered meals silently. Her mother thought that perhaps her tone had just been too urgent, and she tried to make her happy. “Sweetheart, this is a monthly steak appointment. Can you enjoy it with your mom happily?”
Emma nodded silently but continued to stare out of the window. Ten minutes later, Emma looked at the large plate of steak and potatoes as if she had no intention of eating them. Mom sighed and asked, “Isn’t it your favorite steak, sweetheart?” “It is, mom,” Emma said in a low voice. After listening to her answer, Mom brought the steak and planned to help her daughter cut it into small pieces as before.
“No, mom, she quickly reached out for the plate. “I can only eat it once a month, right?” “Yes, we made a promise about this,” said the mother.
“Can I just give it to him?” Emma cautiously asked, and her-eyes filled with expectations. Following the direction of her finger, there was a homeless man in tattered (破烂的) clothes.
