A
Yes, There’s a Museum for That!
MUSEUMS HAVE CHANGED. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone.
●International Tennis Hall of Fame ( Rhode Island, New York)
A highlight is a Kings Court for “court tennis,” first played by monks and kings dating back to 1538. It’s not so much a tennis court but a dramatic rectangular room with surprising slopes and angles.
Open daily 9 AM—5 PM (closed Tuesdays).
Admission: $20 adults; $15 students.
●National Comedy Center (Jamestown, New York)
“Before visitors enter the center, they create their ‘sense of humor profile’,” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.”
Open 10 AM—8 PM daily.
Admission: $25 adults; students $20 (free every Wednesday).
●Museum of Food and Drink (Brooklyn, New York)
Why does popcorn pop? How did canned food change wars? This museum answers these questions through hands-on experiments. Smell spices in the Aroma Lab, “bake” bread in a virtual oven, or taste global snacks.
Open Wednesday—Sunday, 10 AM to 6 PM.
Admission: $15 for adults; students free with ID. Free entry for students every Thursday.
●National Music Museum (Vermillion, South Dakota)
From a 1720 Italian violin to a modern DJ mixer, this museum celebrates music’s universal power. Try playing a Japanese shamisen, or create your own song mix in the Sound Lab. A favorite exhibit explains how Beethoven composed his Ninth Symphony after losing his hearing.
Open Monday—Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Admission: $12 for adults; $8 for students.
1. What’s the total admission on Thursday for a student with his parents at Museum of Food and Drink?

A. A news report. B. An educational website.
C. A travel magazine. D. A book review.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个各具特色的博物馆:国际网球名人堂;国家喜剧中心;食品与饮料博物馆;国家音乐博物馆。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Museum of Food and Drink部分中“Admission: $15 for adults; students free with ID. Free entry for students every Thursday.(门票:成人15美元;学生凭身份证免费。每周四学生免费入场)”可知,周四学生免费,父母两人的门票费用是15×2 = 30美元,所以一名学生和他父母周四去该博物馆的总门票费用是30美元。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据National Comedy Center部分中“They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste. (他们选择自己觉得有趣的内容,数据会被收集到他们戴在手腕上的一个名为LaughBand的数字芯片上,这样喜剧内容就会根据他们的个人品味进行定制)”可知,国家喜剧中心会根据游客的喜好定制喜剧内容,也就是根据游客个性化讲笑话。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要介绍了四个不同的博物馆,包括它们的特色、开放时间和门票价格等信息,这类关于博物馆的介绍更有可能出现在旅游杂志上。故选C。
B
Elysia Berman remembers the moment she realized her shopping was out of control. Last December, she ducked into a store to buy a pair of gloves. And she came out with a $600 coat that she didn’t need and couldn’t afford. “That was my breaking point,” she recalls.
Berman, 35, knew she had an unhealthy relationship with shopping. So she decided to do something drastic (重大的). She’d try the no-buy challenge, a popular social media experiment that encourages people to buy less stuff. For a set time period — in her case, a whole year — she’d stop spending money on non-essential items. No clothes. No make-up. No home decorations. Instead,she’ d use what she had and buy second-hand.
The challenge is harder than it seems. Berman, who is documenting her no-buy journey on theInternet, had to break her habit of buying 10 to 30 new items a week. And as a fashion industry professional, she was surrounded by the temptation to shop.
Since starting the challenge in January, Berman says that her no-buy journey has helped her to consume more mindfully, save tens of thousands of dollars, pay down a quarter of her debt — and says her mental health has improved. “Essentially, I had gone through detox and withdrawal from the dopamine (多巴胺) you get from shopping,” she says, “I’ve seen a new level of dedication and focus that I wasn’t aware I was capable of before.”
Could you live without shopping for a year? Try the “no-buy” challenge, whether your reason is to curb spending, cut back on fast fashion or reduce your carbon footprint. (About 10% of all carbon emissions come from the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. ) If no-buy challenge for a whole year is too restrictive for you, try it out for a few months— or even a couple of weeks.
4. Why did Elysia Berman decide to take the no-buy challenge?
A. She wanted to follow a popular social media trend.
B. She became aware of her unhealthy shopping behavior.
C. She needed to save money for her career development.
D. She was influenced by some fast fashion professionals.
5. What difficulty did Berman face during the no-buy challenge?
A. Paying off her debt rapidly.
B. Limiting second-hand consumption.
C. Documenting her journey on the Internet.
D. Resisting the temptation to make purchases.
6. Which is a benefit of Berman’s no-buy journey?
A. More freedom in shopping. B. More dopamine from saving.
C. Improvement in mental health. D. Success in the fashion industry.
7. What advice does the author give to those considering the no-buy challenge?
A. Kicking the shopping habit at once.
B. Setting a very strict rule for themselves.
C. Adjusting the time-length of the challenge.
D. Focusing more on reducing carbon footprint.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Elysia Berman因意识到自己购物失控,决定参加“不买挑战”,在挑战过程中她克服困难并收获诸多益处,最后作者鼓励读者尝试这一挑战并根据自身情况调整挑战时长。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Elysia Berman remembers the moment she realized her shopping was out of control. (伊丽西亚・伯曼记得自己意识到购物失控的那一刻。)” 以及第二段“Berman, 35, knew she had an unhealthy relationship with shopping. So she decided to do something drastic (重大的). (35岁的伯曼知道自己与购物之间存在一种不健康的关系。于是,她决定采取一些极端的措施。)”可知,ElysiaBerman决定参加不买挑战是因为她意识到自己不健康的购物行为,已经到了失控的地步。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The challenge is harder than it seems. Berman, who is documenting her no-buy journey on the Internet, had to break her habit of buying 10 to 30 new items a week. And as a fashion industry professional, she was surrounded by the temptation to shop. (这个挑战比看上去更难。伯曼正在网上记录自己的不购物之旅,她不得不改掉每周购买10到30件新物品的习惯。而且作为一名时尚行业的专业人士,她身边充斥着购物的诱惑。)”可知,作为时尚行业的专业人士,Berman的工作环境使她被购物的强烈诱惑包围,这是她面临的主要困难。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Since starting the challenge in January, Berman says that her no-buy journey has helped her to consume more mindfully, save tens of thousands of dollars, pay down a quarter of her debt — and says her mental health has improved. (自今年1月开始这项挑战以来,伯曼表示,她的不购买之旅帮助她更加理性地消费,节省了数万美元,偿还了四分之一的债务,而且她的心理健康状况也有所改善。)”可知,Berman的不买之旅带来的好处之一是心理健康得到了改善。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Could you live without shopping for a year? Try the “no-buy” challenge, whether your reason is to curb spending, cut back on fast fashion or reduce your carbon footprint. (About 10% of all carbon emissions come from the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. ) If no-buy challenge for a whole year is too restrictive for you, try it out for a few months— or even a couple of weeks. (你能一整年不购物吗?试试“不买”挑战吧,无论你的理由是控制开支、减少快时尚消费,还是降低你的碳足迹。(据联合国称,所有碳排放中约10%来自时尚产业。)如果一整年的不买挑战对你来说限制太大,那就尝试几个月,甚至几周。)”可知,作者建议考虑参加“不买挑战”的人根据自身情况调整挑战的时长,如果一年时间限制太多,可以尝试几个月甚至几周。故选C项。
C
Turning 18 is a big deal when you are a teenager. It means you are responsible for yourself and don’t need your parents’ permission any more. However, there are lots of opinions about when one becomes an adult. Some are based on science, while others are personal opinions. While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree.
While studying the brain of teenagers, scientists have learned that when kids are around l8, their prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) is only halfway developed. The prefrontal-cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly. That halfway development means that you still have things to learn and your brains still have time to develop until the age of 25.
Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify (使……具有资格) san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not.
In the foster care (寄养) system, once a child turns 18, he or she is considered an adult and can no longer receive state-sponsored support. These children are forced into a life where they have no family or anyone to support them other than those who were there for them in the system.
Having a quality job will allow you to supply yourself with necessary things to live and help you become a more mature and responsible person. Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward considering 25 as an age for adulthood?
A. Cautious. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
9. How does the prefrontal cortex work to help people set and achieve goals?
A. By dealing with received signals and responding accordingly.
B. By collecting information from other parts of the body.
C. By sending instructions to different regions of the brain
D. By transporting sensed emotions and making records
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Give a definition of adulthood.
B. Stress the importance of family support.
C. Prove not everyone lives a fortunate life.
D. Show opinion on becoming an adult is divided
11. What is one standard qualifying you as an adult according to the author?
A. Setting up a family.
B. Being responsible for your study.
C. Accepting and learning from the low moments in life.
D. Buying yourself quality things to live.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍关于什么时候算是成年了,人们有着不同的观点,有些观点是根据科学理论,而有些是个人观点,作者也提出了自己的见解。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree. (虽然目前的年龄是18岁,但科学支持25岁是更明智的成年年龄,我同意这一观点。)”可知,对于将25岁视为成年年龄,作者是持肯定态度的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The prefrontal-cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly. (前额叶皮层通过接收来自大脑不同区域的信号来处理信息,从而帮助人们设定和实现目标。)”可知,前额叶皮层要处理来自大脑不同区域的信息,并根据这些信息帮助人们设定和实现目标。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的内容“Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify(使…具有资格)san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not. (有些人认为上大学和独立生活是成年人的标准,而另一些人可能认为有稳定的收入和能够负担得起独立生活是成年人的标准。不是每个人都有幸运的生活,有家人可以提供支持;有些情况下,不管你喜欢与否,你都被迫成为一个“成年人”。)”可以推论出,此处作者是为了表明对于什么时候算是成年人了,人们的观点是有分歧的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult. (此外,经历困难时期并意识到生活并不像看上去那么容易,可以让一个人成为成年人。)”可知,在生活中经历了低谷时期,且能从中学习的人,算是成年人了。故选C项。
D
One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it instantly responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to Chat-GPT and specialist therapy (治疗) chatbots for convenient and inexpensive mental health support.
Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction.
One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience.
On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation.
All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chat-bots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend.
12. What does the underlined word “boon” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Trap. B. Prize. C. Blessing. D. Challenge.
13. What does the recent analysis show about empathy?
A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotion identification.
C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination.
14. What can AI do according to Paragraph 4?
A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire.
C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior by intuition.
15. What does the author think of ChatGPT?
A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor.
C. Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI聊天机器人在提供心理支持方面的利弊,以及与人类真正同理心的差距。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. (一些专家认为这是一件boon。毕竟,人工智能不会受到尴尬情绪的影响,也不会感到疲惫不堪,它或许能够比人类更坦率、更不知疲倦地表达同理心。)”可知,这里提到人工智能因为不受尴尬和疲惫的影响,可能在表达同理心上比人类更开放、不知疲倦,因此某些专家认为,这是人工智能在心理健康支持方面的优势,是一种好事。所以boon在这里意为“好事,益处”,与选项C“Blessing (好事)”意思相符。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. (最近有一项关于同理心的分析,研究了1980年至2019年间发表的52项研究,结果表明,产生同理心的人首先必须能够识别出对方的感受。)”可知,关于同理心的最近分析表明,同理心的首要条件是能够识别另一个人的感受。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. (从第一点来看,近年来,由人工智能驱动的聊天机器人在识别人类情感的能力方面取得了进展,它们大多由大型语言模型(LLMs)驱动,这种模型的工作原理是根据训练数据来预测哪些单词最有可能一起出现。通过这种方式,像ChatGPT这样的大型语言模型似乎在大多数时候都能识别我们的情绪,并做出恰当的回应。)”可知,人工智能如ChatGPT 能够识别我们的情感并做出适当的反应,这是基于大量语言模型对数据的预测能力,即能够提供数据驱动的反馈。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation. (但在其他标准方面,人工智能在很多方面仍未达标。同理心是一种人际关系的体现,持续的反馈有助于完善产生同理心者的回应,这也需要对一个人及其处境有一定程度的直觉意识。)”以及最后一段的“At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chat-bots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. (最终,尽管我在网上与多个聊天机器人进行了交流,但我还是做了我一直知道自己必须做的事:我拿起电话,给一个朋友打了电话。)”可知,虽然ChatGPT能提供一定的帮助,但在作者看来,它的人工善意仍然不能与真实的人类情感交流相比。由此可推知,作者认为它的人工善意无法与人类的相比。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The 7-38-55 rule, developed by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, shows that only 7% of meaning is communicated through words, while 38% through tone of voice and 55% through body language. ____16____ Here are some tips for applying the 7-38-55 rule in a negotiation (谈判) context:
____17____ Your body language is much more important than what you’re actually saying. If your counterpart’s body language indicates that they are about to lose their bearings, speak calmly and plainly, slowing the pace of the negotiation.
Look for differences between spoken words and nonverbal behaviors. When you’re at the negotiating table, pay attention to how your counterpart speaks and acts. ____18____ It’s also important that you make sure your own nonverbal messages are in line with what you are saying. If your facial expressions are pained and you’re keeping your contact, you are communicating your uncertainty to your counterpart no matter what you’re saying.
Learn to use different vocal tones. Mastering the use of your voice can help you become a better negotiator by improving the delivery of your debates. In the negotiating room, there are three main tones of voice: competitive, compromising, and accommodating. ____19____
____20____ Tap into your listening skills, assess how your counterpart is feeling, and change your nonverbal communication in response. When debating the main points in a negotiation, you should try to change your nonverbal behaviors based on the messages you are receiving from your counterpart. Even if your arguments themselves don’t change, changing your nonverbal messaging can be effective.
A. Observe your counterpart’s body language.
B. Adjust your own nonverbal communication.
C. Communicate non-verbally with your counterpart.
D. Do you express your ideas properly to your counterpart?
E. This highlights the importance of nonverbal communication.
F. Generally speaking, a cooperative voice gently promotes partnership.
G. Does what they’re saying match the way they’re carrying themselves?
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了由阿尔伯特・梅拉比安在 1971 年提出的 7-38-55 规则,即只有 7% 的意思是通过语言传达,38% 通过语气,55% 通过肢体语言,并详细阐述了在谈判情境中应用这一规则的一些技巧。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The 7-38-55 rule, developed by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, shows that only 7% of meaning is communicated through words, while 38% through tone of voice and 55% through body language(由阿尔伯特・梅拉比安在 1971 年提出的 7-38-55 规则表明,只有 7% 的意思是通过语言传达的,而 38% 是通过语气,55% 是通过肢体语言传达的)”可推知,该规则强调了非语言交流(语气和肢体语言)占比很大,很重要。E选项“这突出了非语言交流的重要性”符合语境,起到了承接上文,点明主旨的作用。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文“Your body language is much more important than what you’re actually saying. If your counterpart’s body language indicates that they are about to lose their bearings, speak calmly and plainly, slowing the pace of the negotiation.(你的肢体语言比你实际说的话重要得多。如果你的对手的肢体语言表明他们即将失去方向,要冷静、清楚地说话,放慢谈判的节奏)”可推知,该段主要围绕观察对手的肢体语言展开。A选项 “观察你对手的肢体语言”能够准确概括该段主旨。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Look for differences between spoken words and nonverbal behaviors. When you’re at the negotiating table, pay attention to how your counterpart speaks and acts.(寻找言语和非语言行为之间的差异。当你在谈判桌前时,注意你对手的说话和行为方式)”以及后文 “It’s also important that you make sure your own nonverbal messages are in line with what you are saying.(确保你自己的非语言信息与你所说的话一致也很重要)”可知,此处应该是关于对手言语和行为是否一致的内容。G选项“他们所说的话与他们的举止方式相匹配吗?”符合语境,与上下文逻辑连贯。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Learn to use different vocal tones. Mastering the use of your voice can help you become a better negotiator by improving the delivery of your debates. In the negotiating room, there are three main tones of voice: competitive, compromising, and accommodating.(学会使用不同的语调。掌握声音的运用可以通过改进你辩论的表达方式,帮助你成为一个更好的谈判者。在谈判室里,主要有三种语调:竞争型、妥协型和包容型)”可知,此处应该是对不同语调的进一步说明。F 选项“一般来说,合作的声音会温和地促进合作关系”是对语调作用的具体阐述,与前文提到的语调相关内容相契合。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Tap into your listening skills, assess how your counterpart is feeling, and change your nonverbal communication in response. When debating the main points in a negotiation, you should try to change your nonverbal behaviors based on the messages you are receiving from your counterpart. Even if your arguments themselves don’t change, changing your nonverbal messaging can be effective.(利用你的倾听技巧,评估你对手的感受,并相应地改变你的非语言交流。当在谈判中辩论要点时,你应该根据从对手那里收到的信息,尝试改变你的非语言行为。即使你的论点本身没有改变,改变你的非语言信息也可能是有效的)”可推知,该段主要讲述要根据对手的情况调整自己的非语言交流。B选项“调整你自己的非语言交流”能够准确概括该段主旨。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:来自土耳其爱琴海沿岸历史名城马尼萨的19岁女孩努尔塞纳・布鲁什,凭借中国美食以及过去几个月在中国的旅行,已经对中国文化产生了浓厚兴趣。句中in the past few months是现在完成时的标志性时间状语;主语Nursena Burus是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。故填has developed。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:对布鲁什来说,来中国不仅是学习语言的机会,更是体验某种文化的机会,这种文化的美从远方就吸引了她。定语从句修饰先行词a culture,关系词需在从句中作beauty的定语,whose可指代事物并作定语,符合语法需求。故填whose。

【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:她经常探索学校食堂,发现了包括北京烤鸭在内的最爱菜肴。explored是动词,需副词修饰,regular的副词形式regularly表频率,符合语境。故填regularly。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:她经常探索学校食堂,发现了包括北京烤鸭在内的最爱菜肴。including Peking Duck表明喜欢的菜肴不止一种,dish是可数名词,用其复数形式。故填dishes。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她常根据抖音推荐的美食探索新餐厅,并在微信朋友圈分享美食探险照片。followed the recommended foods的目的是explore new restaurants,不定式to do表目的。故填to explore。

考查形容词。句意:布鲁什说中国菜丰富美味,便捷的数字支付系统也让她惊叹。are是系动词,后接形容词作表语,taste的形容词形式tasty表“美味的”,与rich并列。故填tasty。

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。
Fifteen-year-old Cameron and twelve-year-old Barton lived in a town in Taxco. Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance.
As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?”
Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head.
“This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically (杂乱地). It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were required to clear away the items.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(1)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. Indeed, the task seemed so demanding. Not long after they started working, the heat and dust made them uncomfortable. Cameron’s arms ached from moving heavy boxes, and Barton’s back was sore from bending over. When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished. Although the thought of giving up crossed their minds, the brothers pushed it aside thinking about how hard their parents had been working. The task took them over three hours, but they finally made the warehouse clean and tidy.
Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. Mr. Thompson’s eyes widened seeing the once chaotic space took on a completely new look, where everything was in order. He had not expected the brothers to do this job so well. Mr. Thompson handed them their wages, paying extra, and said, “You’ve earned this. By the way, I could use some help over the summer. I wonder if you’re interested.”“We’d love to!” Barton replied happily. Then the brothers went home excitedly, eager to share their success with their parents.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了十五岁的Cameron和十二岁的Barton来自Taxco的一个小镇,父母辛勤工作仍入不敷出,兄弟俩决定在暑假寻找兼职帮助家庭。尽管初次求职被餐馆经理拒绝,他们并未气馁,随后向Thompson杂货店申请工作。店主起初认为他们太小,但在兄弟俩的真诚请求下同意让他们试一试。最终,Cameron和Barton被安排清理仓库的杂物。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容““这活儿可不轻松。你们尽力而为就行,”Thompson先生说道。”可知,第一段可描写兄弟二人的辛苦工作的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“Cameron和Barton完成后请Thompson先生过来看看。”可知,第二段可描写Thompson先生看到二人的成果后的反应和最后的结果。
2.续写线索:安排任务——努力完成——请Thompson先生来——得到钱——再次被邀请——兴奋地回家
3.词汇激活
行为类
①开始:start/begin
②完成:finish/complete
③放弃:give up/abandon

Yes, There’s a Museum for That!
MUSEUMS HAVE CHANGED. We’ll always have the Met in New York and the Louvre in Paris but nowadays you’ll find a museum for absolutely everything and everyone.
●International Tennis Hall of Fame ( Rhode Island, New York)
A highlight is a Kings Court for “court tennis,” first played by monks and kings dating back to 1538. It’s not so much a tennis court but a dramatic rectangular room with surprising slopes and angles.
Open daily 9 AM—5 PM (closed Tuesdays).
Admission: $20 adults; $15 students.
●National Comedy Center (Jamestown, New York)
“Before visitors enter the center, they create their ‘sense of humor profile’,” says executive director Journey Gunderson. “They choose what they find funny, and the data is collected on a digital chip they wear on a wrist called a LaughBand so that the comedy content is customized based on their personal taste.”
Open 10 AM—8 PM daily.
Admission: $25 adults; students $20 (free every Wednesday).
●Museum of Food and Drink (Brooklyn, New York)
Why does popcorn pop? How did canned food change wars? This museum answers these questions through hands-on experiments. Smell spices in the Aroma Lab, “bake” bread in a virtual oven, or taste global snacks.
Open Wednesday—Sunday, 10 AM to 6 PM.
Admission: $15 for adults; students free with ID. Free entry for students every Thursday.
●National Music Museum (Vermillion, South Dakota)
From a 1720 Italian violin to a modern DJ mixer, this museum celebrates music’s universal power. Try playing a Japanese shamisen, or create your own song mix in the Sound Lab. A favorite exhibit explains how Beethoven composed his Ninth Symphony after losing his hearing.
Open Monday—Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

Elysia Berman remembers the moment she realized her shopping was out of control. Last December, she ducked into a store to buy a pair of gloves. And she came out with a $600 coat that she didn’t need and couldn’t afford. “That was my breaking point,” she recalls.
Berman, 35, knew she had an unhealthy relationship with shopping. So she decided to do something drastic (重大的). She’d try the no-buy challenge, a popular social media experiment that encourages people to buy less stuff. For a set time period — in her case, a whole year — she’d stop spending money on non-essential items. No clothes. No make-up. No home decorations. Instead,she’ d use what she had and buy second-hand.
The challenge is harder than it seems. Berman, who is documenting her no-buy journey on theInternet, had to break her habit of buying 10 to 30 new items a week. And as a fashion industry professional, she was surrounded by the temptation to shop.
Since starting the challenge in January, Berman says that her no-buy journey has helped her to consume more mindfully, save tens of thousands of dollars, pay down a quarter of her debt — and says her mental health has improved. “Essentially, I had gone through detox and withdrawal from the dopamine (多巴胺) you get from shopping,” she says, “I’ve seen a new level of dedication and focus that I wasn’t aware I was capable of before.”
Could you live without shopping for a year? Try the “no-buy” challenge, whether your reason is to curb spending, cut back on fast fashion or reduce your carbon footprint. (About 10% of all carbon emissions come from the fashion industry, according to the United Nations. ) If no-buy challenge for a whole year is too restrictive for you, try it out for a few months— or even a couple of weeks.
4. Why did Elysia Berman decide to take the no-buy challenge?
A. She wanted to follow a popular social media trend.
B. She became aware of her unhealthy shopping behavior.
C. She needed to save money for her career development.
D. She was influenced by some fast fashion professionals.
5. What difficulty did Berman face during the no-buy challenge?
A. Paying off her debt rapidly.
B. Limiting second-hand consumption.
C. Documenting her journey on the Internet.

Turning 18 is a big deal when you are a teenager. It means you are responsible for yourself and don’t need your parents’ permission any more. However, there are lots of opinions about when one becomes an adult. Some are based on science, while others are personal opinions. While currently the age is 18, science supports 25 as a more sensible age for adulthood, and I agree.
While studying the brain of teenagers, scientists have learned that when kids are around l8, their prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) is only halfway developed. The prefrontal-cortex helps people set and achieve goals by receiving signals from different regions of the brain to process information and adapting accordingly. That halfway development means that you still have things to learn and your brains still have time to develop until the age of 25.
Some people think going off to college and living on your own qualify (使……具有资格) san adult, while others may believe having a steady income and being able to afford to live on your own are what make you an adult. Not everyone has a fortunate life where they have family that can provide support; there are situations where you are forced to become an “adult” whether you like it or not.
In the foster care (寄养) system, once a child turns 18, he or she is considered an adult and can no longer receive state-sponsored support. These children are forced into a life where they have no family or anyone to support them other than those who were there for them in the system.
Having a quality job will allow you to supply yourself with necessary things to live and help you become a more mature and responsible person. Also, going through difficult times and realizing life isn’t as easy as it seems, should qualify someone as an adult.
8. What is the author’s attitude toward considering 25 as an age for adulthood?
A. Cautious. B. Uncaring. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
9. How does the prefrontal cortex work to help people set and achieve goals?
A. By dealing with received signals and responding accordingly.
B. By collecting information from other parts of the body.
C. By sending instructions to different regions of the brain
D. By transporting sensed emotions and making records
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Give a definition of adulthood.
B. Stress the importance of family support.
C. Prove not everyone lives a fortunate life.
D. Show opinion on becoming an adult is divided
11. What is one standard qualifying you as an adult according to the author?
A. Setting up a family.
B. Being responsible for your study.
C. Accepting and learning from the low moments in life.
D. Buying yourself quality things to live.

One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it instantly responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to Chat-GPT and specialist therapy (治疗) chatbots for convenient and inexpensive mental health support.
Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction.
One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience.
On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation.
All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chat-bots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend.
12. What does the underlined word “boon” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Trap. B. Prize. C. Blessing. D. Challenge.
13. What does the recent analysis show about empathy?
A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotion identification.
C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination.
14. What can AI do according to Paragraph 4?
A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire.
C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior by intuition.
15. What does the author think of ChatGPT?
A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor.
C. Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’.

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。
Fifteen-year-old Cameron and twelve-year-old Barton lived in a town in Taxco. Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance.
As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?”
Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head.
“This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically (杂乱地). It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were required to clear away the items.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

“It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished.
