Where to Eat in Kuala Lumpur
Great restaurants in Kuala Lumpur offer a genuine global dining experience. Whether you are looking to enjoy hearty comfort food or some local delicacies, the city’s dining scene satisfies all comers.

Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe.
Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University.
To get accurate results from experiments she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner.
On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese.
4. What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young?
A. Her life in America. B. Her love for physics.
C. Her family background. D. Marie Curie’s achievements.
5. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3?
A. Awards are usually gained through great efforts.
B. Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways.
C. No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung.
D. We cannot stress the importance of physics enough.
6. Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung?
A. Caring and responsible. B. Courageous and creative.
C. Stubborn and sensitive. D. Cautious and hardworking.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An influential woman nuclear physicist. B. An important contribution to physics.
C. The influence of modern education. D. Nuclear researches in scientific world.

Primary testing of a newly developed AI-enhanced blood test has shown promise in being able to accurately determine the potential of someone’s developing Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) in the coming years. In research published last week, a team of scientists in Europe identified eight blood-based biomarkers that might alert doctors to a high potential for Parkinson’s disease development in a patient — up to seven years before symptoms appear.
The test, while still in its early stages, offers hope for a disorder that has no cure and affects nearly nine million people worldwide. At present, the treatment for Parkinson’s disease tends to be reactive and focused on stopping symptoms from getting worse, which include shaking movements, slow movements, stiffness and a loss of balance, after a diagnosis (诊断) is made. “We need to get to people before they develop symptoms. It’s always better to do prevention rather than cure,” senior author Kevin Mills says. With this goal in mind, the team began their work by collecting blood samples from 99 people who have Parkinson’s disease and 36 people who don’t. Analyzing a select ion of 70 percent of these samples, a machine learning algorithm (算法) identified eight proteins that appeared in different concentrations in the blood of those with the disease.
This pattern could provide a diagnosis with 100 percent accuracy, according to a statement from University College London. In a follow- up evaluation, the algorithm was given the remaining 30 percent of blood samples that it hadn’t been trained on — 30 from people currently with Parkinson’s disease and 11 from people without it. The tool aced the test, correctly diagnosing every patient. “This means that drug treatment could potentially be given at an earlier stage, which could possibly slow down disease progression or even prevent it from occurring,” Michael Bartl, the co-first author of the study, says.
“We’ve seen significant progress in the development of exciting new tests for Parkinson’s disease in the last year alone,” Katherine Fletcher, research communications leader says. “We anticipate that these new tests will start being used within the next few years.”
8. What can the new blood test do for Parkinson’s disease?
A. Relieve its symptoms. B. Predict its likelihood.
C. Identify its initial causes. D. Determine its treatment plan.
9. What do we know about the current treatment for Parkinson’s disease?
A. It is on symptom control. B. It is mainly preventive.
C. It is effective in complete cure. D. It is mainly based on early diagnosis.
10. What does the underlined phrase “aced the test” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Needed a new test. B. Became a failed test.
C. Performed well in the test. D. Showed weaknesses in the test.
11. What is Katherine Fletcher’s attitude to the new blood test for Parkinson’s disease?
A. Contradictory. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Tentative.
D
Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.
If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation.
Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters.
However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant.
While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town.
12. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning?
A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies.
C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation.
13. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation?
A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication.
C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation.
14. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships.
C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Psychology behind “Maybe” B. The Hidden Consequence of “Maybe”
C. “Maybe”: A Polite Escape from Conflict D. “Maybe”: A Perfect Solution to Invitations

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。
It was a typical busy noon at the downtown fast-food spot. The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink.
As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired.
I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air.
My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My hesitation melted away.

Compared with physicists such as Marie Curie or Richard Feynman, Wu Chien-shiung is not a household name in China but she was one of the most influential nuclear physicists of the 20th century, one that “completely” changed human’s view of the universe.
Wu’s father, Wu Zhongyi, founded the first school for girls in Taicang, aiming to break the old idea that it was women’s virtue to have no talents, which had the greatest influence on Wu Chien-shiung’s life. Working in the scientific world dominated (支配) by men, she never gave up or lowered her standards even if unequally treated. After graduating from the former National Central University in Nanjing in 1934, Wu registered at the University of California, Berkeley at the age of 24 to continue her study in physics.
During her 44-year career as a nuclear physicist, Wu’s pioneering achievements won her nicknames such as “Chinese Madame Curie”, “queen of nuclear research” and “first lady of physics”. She was the first woman to be president of American Physical Society, the first female winner of the Comstock Prize in physics given by the US National Academy of Sciences, the first person to receive the Wolf Prize in physics, the first honorary doctorate awarded by Princeton University to a woman, and the first female professor of physics in the history of Columbia University.
To get accurate results from experiments, she worked very hard day and night at a laboratory and gained a reputation (名声) for accuracy. There was a saying among physicists: If the experiment was done by Wu, it must be correct. She was always very careful in experiments, spending a great deal of time calibrating (校准) instruments. She didn’t start collecting data until she fully understood the instruments. Her experiments overturned many previous experimental results and theories, said Samuel Chao Chung Ting, American physicist and Nobel Prize winner.
On Feb 16, 1997, Wu died in the US. According to her will, she was buried in her hometown Taicang. She was a distinguished world citizen, and was forever a Chinese.
4. What influenced Wu Chien-shiung when she was young?
A. Her life in America. B. Her love for physics.
C. Her family background. D. Marie Curie’s achievements.
5. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3?
A. Awards are usually gained through great efforts.
B. Wu Chien-shiung was “a pioneer” in many ways.
C. No scientists were better than Wu Chien-shiung.
D. We cannot stress the importance of physics enough.
6. Which of the following can best describe Wu Chien-shiung?
A. Caring and responsible. B. Courageous and creative.
C. Stubborn and sensitive. D. Cautious and hardworking.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. An influential woman nuclear physicist. B. An important contribution to physics.

Primary testing of a newly developed AI-enhanced blood test has shown promise in being able to accurately determine the potential of someone’s developing Parkinson’s disease (帕金森病) in the coming years. In research published last week, a team of scientists in Europe identified eight blood-based biomarkers that might alert doctors to a high potential for Parkinson’s disease development in a patient — up to seven years before symptoms appear.
The test while still in its early stages, offers hope for a disorder that has no cure and affects nearly nine million people worldwide. At present, the treatment for Parkinson’s disease tends to be reactive and focused on stopping symptoms from getting worse, which include shaking movements, slow movements, stiffness and a loss of balance, after a diagnosis (诊断) is made. “We need to get to people before they develop symptoms. It’s always better to do prevention rather than cure,” senior author Kevin Mills says. With this goal in mind, the team began their work by collecting blood samples from 99 people who have Parkinson’s disease and 36 people who don’t. Analyzing a select ion of 70 percent of these samples, a machine learning algorithm (算法) identified eight proteins that appeared in different concentrations in the blood of those with the disease.
This pattern could provide a diagnosis with 100 percent accuracy, according to a statement from University College London. In a follow- up evaluation, the algorithm was given the remaining 30 percent of blood samples that it hadn’t been trained on — 30 from people currently with Parkinson’s disease and 11 from people without it. The tool aced the test, correctly diagnosing every patient. “This means that drug treatment could potentially be given at an earlier stage, which could possibly slow down disease progression or even prevent it from occurring,” Michael Bartl, the co-first author of the study, says.
“We’ve seen significant progress in the development of exciting new tests for Parkinson’s disease in the last year alone,” Katherine Fletcher, research communications leader says. “We anticipate that these new tests will start being used within the next few years.”
8. What can the new blood test do for Parkinson’s disease?
A. Relieve its symptoms. B. Predict its likelihood.
C. Identify its initial causes. D. Determine its treatment plan.
9. What do we know about the current treatment for Parkinson’s disease?
A. It is on symptom control. B. It is mainly preventive.
C. It is effective in complete cure. D. It is mainly based on early diagnosis.
10. What does the underlined phrase “aced the test” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Needed a new test. B. Became a failed test.
C. Performed well in the test. D. Showed weaknesses in the test.
11. What is Katherine Fletcher’s attitude to the new blood test for Parkinson’s disease?
A. Contradictory. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Tentative.

Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.
If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.” Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to their invitation.
Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations, thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters.
However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant.
While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town.
12. Why is the concert anecdote mentioned at the beginning?
A. To explain the background of the invitation. B. To stress the importance of quick replies.
C. To encourage immediate decision- making. D. To introduce a common social situation.
13. What is the main reason for the response of “maybe” to an invitation?
A. A biased interpretation of social cues. B. A desire for harmonious communication.
C. An underestimation of refusal consequence. D. An understanding of the inviter’s expectation.
14. What is the author’s suggestion in the last paragraph?
A. Keeping your options open for better plans. B. Accepting invitations to maintain friendships.
C. Prioritizing clear response over open options. D. Thinking twice before refusing an invitation.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Psychology behind “Maybe” B. The Hidden Consequence of “Maybe”
C. “Maybe”: A Polite Escape from Conflict D. “Maybe”: A Perfect Solution to Invitations
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe”这一常见社交现象,分析其背后原因及特定应对情况,并给出直接回应的建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Picture this, you win two tickets to a sold-out concert and eagerly text to ask your friends if they’d like to join. There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before you can figure out your plans for the concert.(想象一下,你赢得了两张售罄音乐会的门票,急切地发短信问朋友是否愿意一起去。他们回复“也许吧”。你的心情立刻变了,因为你需要等他们做决定,才能确定自己的音乐会计划)”以及第二段中的“If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life.(如果你有过类似上述轶事的经历,你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复“也许”是社交生活中常见却令人恼火的一面)”可知,作者开头提及音乐会轶事,是为了引出人们对邀请回复“Maybe”这一常见社交场景。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We found that it’s largely due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to leave their options open.(我们发现,这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以有偏差的方式解读信息以迎合自己的意愿时,就会发生动机性推理。换句话说,受邀者会说服自己,邀请者更想听到“也许”而不是“不”,因为“也许”对受邀者更有利,能让他们保留选择的余地)”可知,人们对邀请回复“Maybe”的主要原因是对社交信号有偏差的解读。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when the next concert comes to town.(虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手,但有时直接明确是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择,但能避免邀请你的人陷入不确定的状态,而且当下一场音乐会来临时,他们或许还会想到你)”可知,作者建议优先选择清晰明确的回应,而非保留选择余地。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章开头以音乐会轶事引出人们对邀请回复“Maybe”的现象,接着在第三段分析了这一现象背后“动机性推理”的心理原因,第四段介绍了人们更愿意说“不”的特定情况,最后给出直接回应的建议。全文围绕“Maybe”背后的心理机制展开,因此A项“‘Maybe’背后的心理学”概括了文章主题,最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了北京举办了世界上首个人形机器人半程马拉松比赛,这一具有里程碑意义的事件标志着机器人技术从实验室测试向实际应用的重要转变。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:北京最近举办了世界上第一届人形机器人半程马拉松比赛,创造了科技史上的一个重要里程碑。句中谓语是made,空格处用非谓语动词,此处用现在分词表结果,作状语,故填marking。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:这个开创性的竞赛代表了从受控实验室测试到现实世界应用的关键转变。groundbreaking是形容词,修饰名词,此处表示“这个开创性的竞赛”,空格处意为“竞赛”,名词是competition,由This可知,空格处用单数,故填competition。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:与人工实验室环境不同,马拉松比赛中不可预测的室外条件考验了机器人的适应能力和耐力。根据语境可知,句子表示“与人工实验室环境不同,马拉松比赛中不可预测的室外条件考验了机器人的适应能力和耐力”,空格处意为“不像”,用介词unlike,位于句首,首字母大写,故填Unlike。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在体育运动之外,这种机器人已经在使用——例如,中国南方电网开发的专业巡检机器人,可以在-40℃到80℃的极端温度下可靠地运行,同时维护偏远山区的输电线。句中谓语是can operate,空格处用非谓语动词,由by可知,空格处用过去分词表被动,作后置定语,故填developed。

41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:自今年年初以来,百度和华为等中国科技巨头充分意识到其中的机遇,已与特斯拉和丰田等汽车行业领军企业联手,展开了一场推进这项技术的国际竞赛。由Since可知,句子时态使用现在完成时,主语Chinese tech giants是复数,因此空格处是have joined;也可强调动作在这一阶段一直正在进行,使用现在完成进行时,即have been joining。故填have joined/have been joining。
【42题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:自今年年初以来,小米和华为等中国科技巨头充分意识到其中的机遇,已与特斯拉和丰田等汽车行业领军企业联手,展开了一场推进这项技术的国际竞赛。空格处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,此处表示“什么”,因此用what引导宾语从句,故填what。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,大多数机器人的自主程度为2级,但要实现完全独立的4级,需要在人工智能决策方面取得突破。空格处用副词currently修饰动词operate,作状语,currently意为“目前”。故填currently。

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。
It was a typical busy noon at the downtown fast-food spot. The smell of sizzling patties and crispy fries lingered (弥漫) in the air, and the place was packed with folks rushing to grab a quick meal. I’d just gotten off a long morning at work, and my stomach was empty as I finally reached the front of the line and got my order-a burger, fries, and a cold drink.
As I set the tray (托盘) down on a small table by the window, I glanced over and saw two firefighters in the corner. Their uniforms were heavy with faint spots, like they’d just stepped away from a smoky scene, and their boots still held a hint of damp from the morning dew. They stood in the back of the line, shoulders relaxed but eyes tired.
I was just about to pick up my burger-the cheese melted perfectly-when a loud, sharp siren (警报) cut through the noise of the restaurant. The two firefighters froze for half a second, and then moved. No hesitation, no exchange of words — just muscle memory. One grabbed his helmet off the nearby counter, the other adjusted his radio on his shoulder, and they turned toward the door, their steps quickening. I watched them go, and my fork paused mid-air.
My empty stomach served as a quiet reminder of how long I’d waited for this meal. I’d stood in that line for 15 minutes, my feet aching from the morning’s work. Giving them my lunch meant I would have to wait again-maybe another line, maybe my break slipping away faster. I bit my lip, staring at the tray. Then I thought of their uniforms, the spots, the way they’d act upon hearing the siren like it was a call they couldn’t ignore. They didn’t get to pause for a meal when emergencies hit. They’d probably go hours without eating, running from one call to the next.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My hesitation melted away.

I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 My hesitation melted away. I grabbed the tray and hurried after the two firefighters, calling out softly, “Excuse me!” They paused at the door, turning with slight surprise. I held out the tray, smiling, “You guys must be in a rush — take this. It’s not much, but it’ll keep you going.” One of them hesitated for a second, then nodded gratefully, taking the tray. “Thank you, really,” he said, before they rushed out into the street, the siren growing louder as they went. I stood there for a moment, my stomach still growling, but my chest felt light.
I went back to the counter, only to find the manager was waiting for me. He smiled warmly, holding up a new tray with a burger, fries, and a drink. “Saw what you did for the firefighters,” he said, handing it over. “This one’s on the house. We need more people like you.” I was shocked, then grateful, taking the tray. “Thank you so much,” I replied. As I sat back down by the window, biting into the burger, the taste felt sweeter than before. Sometimes, giving up a small thing didn’t just help others — it filled your own heart, too.
