Take class notes Three sites-StudySoup,NexusNotes,and Stuvia-offer attractive pay for uploading and selling class notes to other students at your university.You usually get a bonus when someone signs up to get access to your notes,plus a payment for each set ot notes that sell.You can earn $250 to $500 per class,per 3 semester. Become a tutor Many younger students have fallen behind academically as they struggled with distance learning. That opens an opportunity for those who have mastered a subject,from high school algebra to Spanish,to teach that subject to others.A number of tutoring platforms allow you to sign up and tutor online or in person. Some of the best:Wyzant,Varsity Tutors,and,for those who want to teach music,LessonFace.

The suitcase belonged to his great-grandmother,,who had Alzheimer's(阿尔茨海默病)and lived in a nursing home.Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos,hoping she could tell them more about the photos.What happened next changed Veal's life. "Everything came back to her when she saw these plctures,"Veal said."She recognized her sisters, her aunts,her grandparents...It was the first time I had ever seen someone's excitement from an old photo returning to them.” The experience made Veal realize the power of old photographs to hold precions and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity.nver ef him.Two years ago,when he came across old famlly photos for sute at(),he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. on,he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called old Photo Project to aidin finding their families. Veal is not alone in this hobby.Photo and genealogy()enthusiasts worldwide regularly go through thrift stores,flea markets and the like,finding old photos with the objective of reuniting the photos with their families.They also use the Internet and even social media to track down the families and faces in the lost photos. David Gutenmacher,26,lives in Queens,New York,and started his project,Museum of Lost Memories,in late 2020.He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok."Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!"Gutenmacher said.The motivation behind this hobby seems to be a combination of enjoying the detective work it takes to solve the puzzle,and the memories these lost pictures can bring back to the families they belong to.What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others,but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose."I feel like this is my calling"said Gutenmacher."The more I return memories,the moro it feels like I'm supposed to be doing this." 56.According to the text,what changed Veal's life?

A.Returning Lost Memories B.Old Photos for Photo Enthusiasts C.The Power of Photos on the Internet D.Researching the History of a Family C It is widely known that long-term memory can be unreliable.But can we trust our immediate recall? You can misremember something just seconds after it happened,reframing events in your mind to better fit with your own preconceptions(预想). Marte Otten at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and her colleagues wanted to figure out the relationship between previous expectations and short-term memories.The team conducted several experiments on more than 400 people that involvca showing the participants random letters arranged in a citcle on a computer soreen. In the simplest form of this experiment,the participants were shown the letters for a quarter of a second before the screen went blank.After a gap of 3 seconds,a box appeared where one of the letters had been for half a second,followed by a different circle of letters for half a second.The participants were asked to recall which letter from the original circle had been in the position held by the box on the screen. Crucially,some of the letters were put upside down,which Otten calls"fake-letters".The participants were clearly warned not to mistake them for real ones.This test was repeated. After recalling the letters,the participants were asked to rate their confidence in each answer.The team focused its analysis on the most confident participants,in order to remove random guesses.The researchers found that,when asked to recall the position of.a fake-letter,the confident participants incorrectly gave the answer as its real letter 39 percent of the time,despite their high confidence in the answer. "People seem to be sensitive to this memory illusion where they already have a preset concept of what the world should look like.This effect appears to be due to a feature of our neural system that relfes on generating predictions about the world.We expect to see normal letters when reading.These predictions are normally quite helpful and efficient in normal life and this is not something we have control over,says Otten. Several studies have previously shown that long-term memory is unreliable and affected by previous expectations.This new study shows that the same is true for short-term memories,suggesting that even the accounts of eyewitnesses immediately after an event may be unconsciously coloured by their expectations. 61.What did the participants see on the computcr during the cxperiment? A.Random letters lined in a circle. B.Random letters hidden in a box. C.Random circles showed in a box. D.Random boxes arranged in a circle. 62.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 3? A.To introduce the topic of the passage. B.To present the result of the experiment. C.To unfold the process of the experiment. D.To show the background of the research. 63.How did the researchers ensure the accuracy of the results? A.By showing participants'letters after 3 seconds. B.By changing letters'positions from a different circle. C.By comparing the answers from different age groups. D.By analysing confidence ratings to identify reliable answers. 64.What does Otten's research reveal about our neural system? A.It prioritises speed over accuracy in recall. B.It is highly adaptable to unexpected visual input. C.It actively anticipates what it expects to perceive. D.It struggles to process unfamiliar visual information. 65,What can be concluded from Otten's study compared to previous research? A.Short-term memory is more reliable than long-term memory. B.Short-term memory can also be affected by preconceptions. C.Previous expectations have no influence on memory. D.Memory illusions are more common in adults. D Artificial Intelligence (Al has transitioned from a futuristic concept to a transformative force reshaping traditional industries.Once confined to research labs,AI technologles-such as machine learning,natural language processing,and computer vision-are now integrated into sectors that have relied on human labor for decades,fundamentally altering how businesses operate. One of the most notable impacts is efficiency enhancement.In manufacturing,for instance, AI-powered robots equipped with sensors can perform repetitive tasks with precision,reducing error rates by up to 90%compared to human workers,Similarly,in agriculture,drones with computer vision analyze crop health in real time,enabling farmers to apply fertilizers or pesticides (only where needed, cutting waste by 30%-50%.These advancements not only lower operational costs but also boost productivity,allowing companies to meet growing market demands more effectively. Beyond efficiency,AI is driving personalization.In retail,algorithms (analyze customers' browsing and purchase history to recommend products tailored to individual preferences,increasing conversion rates by 15%-20%.Traditional service industries,such as banking and healthcare,also benefit: chatbots handle routine inquiries,freeing human staff to focus on complex cases,while AI-driven diagnostic tools assist doctors in identifying diseases from medical images with accuracy comparable to- or even exceeding-that of human experts. However,the rise of AI poses challenges.The most pressing concern is job displacement.A 2023 report by the World Economic Forum estimated that 85 million jobs globally could be automated by Al and robotics by 2025,particularly in roles involving routine tasks.While new positions in AI development and maintenance will emerge,these often require advanced technical skills,leaving low-skilled workers vulnerable.Additionally,ethical issues arise:in healthcare,over-reliance on AI diagnostics might lead to misjudgments if algorithms are trained on biased data;in finance,AI-driven lending decisions could unintentionally discriminate against certain groups due to flawed data patterns. To address these issues,governments and enterprises are exploring solutions.Some countries are investing in"reskilling"programs to help workers transition to AI-related fields,while companies are adopting a"human-AI collaboration"model-using AI to handle repetitive tasks and humans for creative or empathetic roles.As AI continues to evolve,its integration with traditional industries will likely accelerate,requiring balanced strategies to maximize benefits while minimizing risks. 66.What is the primary purpose of the passage? A.To argue against the use of AI in traditional industries B.To explain how AI is transforming traditional industries and its impacts C.To compare the efficiency of AI and human workers in detail. D.To predict the complete replacement of humans by AI in the future. 67.According to the passage,how does AI improve efficiency in manufacturing? A.By enabling robots to work continuously with high precision. B.By reducing the need for raw materials. C.By training human workers to operate machines faster. D.By completely eliminating errors in production. 68.In which aspect does AI contribute to personalization in traditional industries? A.By standardizing products for all customers. B.By analyzing customer data to provide tailored recommendations. C.By replacing human staff with automated systems entirely. D.By reducing the variety of services offered. 69,What is a major challenge caused by AI's rise mentioned in the passage? A.Increased costs for businesses adopting Al B.Difficulty in developing advanced AI algorithms. C.Job displacement,especially for low-skilled workers. D.Lack of interest from traditional industries in Al. 70.It can be inferred from the passage that the paragraph following the text most likely discusses A.detailed case studies of companies that have failed to adopt AI B.a historical overview of AI development in research labs C.the technical specifications of AI-powered robots used in manufacturing D.specific examples of "reskilling programs"or "human-AI collaboration models" 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题共35分) 三、写作 第一节阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good'at what it does that there's always a temptation (to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious 7 and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The bool-f ouses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of chdracter?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't? To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines ()Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation()of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非a常规的)，and perhaps unforturate,.way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,.he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the scienee of ehild development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters. On the whole,Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science. 71.What is the main idea of paragraph 2?(no more than 10 words) 72.Why does Brook use a story to introduce scientific theories?(no more than 1swords) 73.According to The Social Animal,how can we learn about the saience of child development?(no more than 10 words) 74.Please explain the underlined word"weighty"in English.(no more than 1 word) 75.Do you like Brooks'way of dealing with science in The Social Animal?Why?(no more than 20 words) 第二节书面表达（满分25分） 76.假定你是晨光中学高三学生李津。2025年上海合作组织(SC0)峰会在天津举办，组委会招募城 市文化推介志愿者”，通过短视频向参会外宾介绍天津风貌。请你撰写一篇英文推介文案，作为视频 脚本的核心内容。需包含以下要点： 1.概述天津的城市特色； 2.最值得向外国友人推荐的两处城市亮点； 3.对中外文化交流的期待。 参考词汇：古文化街Ancient Culture Street 意式风情区Italian Style Town 天津之眼摩天Tianjin Eye(Ferris wheel)海河风景线Haihe River scenic belt 注意： ·词数不少于100个（开头已给出，不计入总词数）： 语言自然流畅，可适当增加细节使内容充实： 文中不得出现真实姓名和校名。 Dear distinguished guests, Welcome to Tianjin,a city where history meets modernityl
