Jude Travis was a little nervous when she first signed up for the class, “Art Start: Who Let the Dogs Out? Paint a Portrait (肖像) of Your Pet” at the Memorial Art Gallery (MAG). A hobby artist and frequenter of the MAG, Travis had never been to a creative workshop before.
Still, Travis enjoyed herself. She praised the instructor, Joan Nichols, for her work engaging the class and her helpful advice for Travis’s portrait of a dog. Getting to talk about pets was a plus too. “I love that the commonality of it is just a pet, which most of the time brings happiness, even if you don’t know this person,” said Travis.
Nichols has been a creative workshop painting instructor at the MAG for about two years. Between kick-starting hearty pet conversation and playing classic tunes like “Hey Jude”, she even had the class warm up with chair yoga. Nichols explained that integrating yoga, in some manner, into her classes helps to separate time for making art from the rest of the day. Yoga helps students to lighten up and concentrate when she’s teaching these one-session, low-commitment Art Starts classes that are only a few hours long.
The class had two projects: first, the “Mangy Mutt”, a loose, casual outline of a pet. Second, the actual portrait of the pet. In contrast to what one might expect, Nichols wasn’t walking her students through the process. She just set out photos of her pets, boxes of material to make collages (拼贴画) with, and tubs of paint brushes and markers. Her students were free to make their portrait however they wanted.
Beyond acquiring the artistic benefits of going to a class like this, Travis cited meeting people who share similar interests as added benefits. She said, “Museums and galleries always have been, at least for me, a safe space.”
4. How did Jude Travis actually find the workshop?
A. Engaging and casual. B. Helpful and common.
C. Traditional and effective. D. Enjoyable and rewarding.
5. Why did Nichols employ yoga in her classes?
A. To start fun pet discussions. B. To make students relaxed and focused.
C. To match the classic music. D. To attract students to exercise.
6. What made Nichols’s class project different?
A. Encouraging free self-expression. B. Providing diverse artistic supplies.
C. Emphasizing yoga as the core activity. D. Giving step-by-step portrait guidance.
7. What additional benefit did Travis get from the workshop?
A. Inspiration for hobby artists. B. Professional painting techniques.
C. Free access to museums and galleries. D. Social connection over shared interests.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】

The sea slugs (蛞蝓) in western Atlantic, Elysia crispata, are infamous thieves. While eating seaweeds, they harvest chloroplasts (叶绿体) which let plants turn sunlight into energy. These stolen cell parts keep functioning inside for about a year, giving the slugs a bright-green color and available food. Their crime once remained a mystery.
A Cell paper led by Harvard biologists throws light. The slug builds bag-like structures from its own cells to house the stolen chloroplasts, thus stopping the immediate digesting in case of food shortage. “It’s a living lunch box growing on their back,” says the lead author Corey Allard.
To reach this conclusion, his team fed slugs that had recently consumed seaweeds a chemical tag (标签) to identify any new proteins created within their bodies. Six hours later, the researchers obtained the stolen chloroplasts and analyzed the tagged proteins. Among them were signs of Rab7a, a protein usually found in processes when cells swallow foreign bodies. Observation under a powerful microscope confirmed that each stolen chloroplast was indeed wrapped in the bag-like structure.
The researchers then investigated what the sea slugs do with the stolen chloroplasts by comparing the starvation resistance of Elysia crispata with that of another species, Aplysia californica. The latter storing no chloroplasts was found dead after about four weeks, while the green thief survived four months; subject to starvation, the green slugs switched from storing to digesting the chloroplasts, turning a telltale orange. Dr Allard is studying wider species to see if this process involved is entirely different.
Such slimy tricks, or temporary endosymbiosis (内共生), have exciting implications for human evolutionary history. “Fundamental in the cell evolution to make complex life possible, endosymbiosis took millions of years, while the green slugs offer an insight into it within a single lifetime,” says Nicholas Bellono, a co-author of this latest study. There could be practical applications, too. Understanding the green slug’s trick could inform medicines that grant human cells new tools to fight brain or metabolic (代谢的) diseases, about which Dr Allard is particularly excited. In the natural world, it seems, theft pays handsomely.
8. While eating seaweeds, Elysia crispata harvests chloroplasts mainly to ________.
A. digest seaweeds faster B. form a protective color
C build bag-like structures D. produce food by sunlight
9. What does the sign of Rab7a indicate about the sea slugs?
A. They reject external materials. B. They turn sunlight into energy.
C. They wrap chloroplasts in cells. D. They tag proteins with a chemical.
10. What was Elysia crispata’s secret in starvation resistance?
A It ate more seaweeds initially. B. It survived on stored chloroplasts.
C. It stored energy for four months. D. Its body resisted starvation better.
11. What is the focus of the last paragraph?
A. The history of human evolution. B. Medical inspiration from nature.
C. The significance of the discovery. D. The follow-up study of the sea slugs.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海蛞蝓窃取叶绿体的机制及研究该现象的进化和医学意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While eating seaweeds, they harvest chloroplasts (叶绿体) which let plants turn sunlight into energy. These stolen cell parts keep functioning inside for about a year, giving the slugs a bright-green color and available food.(在吃海藻时,它们会收集叶绿体,叶绿体可以让植物将阳光转化为能量。这些被偷走的细胞部分在蛞蝓体内能继续发挥作用约一年,使蛞蝓呈现鲜绿色,并为其提供食物)”可知,这种海蛞蝓收集叶绿体主要是为了利用阳光生产食物。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Among them were signs of Rab7a, a protein usually found in processes when cells swallow foreign bodies. Observation under a powerful microscope confirmed that each stolen chloroplast was indeed wrapped in the bag-like structure.(其中发现了Rab7a的迹象,Rab7a是一种通常在细胞吞噬异物过程中发现的蛋白质。在强大的显微镜下观察证实,每个被偷走的叶绿体确实被包裹在袋状结构中)”可知,Rab7a蛋白出现在细胞吞噬异物的过程中,而显微镜观察证实叶绿体被包裹,说明该蛋白的存在表明海蛞蝓会将叶绿体包裹在细胞结构中。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The latter storing no chloroplasts was found dead after about four weeks, while the green thief survived four months; subject to starvation, the green slugs switched from storing to digesting the chloroplasts, turning a telltale orange.(后者没有储存叶绿体,大约四周后被发现死亡,而绿色蛞蝓存活了四个月;在饥饿状态下,绿色蛞蝓从储存叶绿体转变为消化叶绿体,变成了明显的橙色)”可知,这种海蛞蝓抵抗饥饿的秘诀是依靠储存的叶绿体生存。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Such slimy tricks, or temporary endosymbiosis (内共生), have exciting implications for human evolutionary history.(这种狡猾的把戏,或者说暂时的内共生,对人类进化史有着令人兴奋的影响)”以及“There could be practical applications, too. Understanding the green slug’s trick could inform medicines that grant human cells new tools to fight brain or metabolic (代谢的) diseases, about which Dr Allard is particularly excited.(这一发现同样具有实际应用价值。弄清这种绿色海蛞蝓的生存妙招,能为研发相关药物带来启发,这类药物可赋予人体细胞新的作用机制,用以攻克脑部疾病和代谢性疾病,阿拉德博士对这一应用前景尤为期待)”可知,最后一段重点讲述了这一发现对于人类进化研究的意义以及在医药领域的实际应用价值,即发现的重要意义。故选C。
D
When an artificial intelligence (AI) model generates passable poetry or images from text prompts (提示) we rush to credit it with human-like imagination. But can an AI imagine, or is it just mindlessly parroting training data?
Iyad Rahwan at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has spent a career trying to understand AI not just from a technical point of view, but as a social and behavioral phenomenon. He distinguishes two styles of imagination: one is combining concepts, like when an AI draws a chair in the shape of a pear on demand; the other is understanding the consequences and being able to develop plans. AI is capable of combining concepts, says Rahwan. When you ask a large language model complex questions, you realize it has at least some understanding of cause and effect.
“At this mechanistic level, you could say machines can totally copy this process,” Rahwan says. “They do very good analogical (类比的) reasoning.” But given AI doesn’t yet possess and may never acquire consciousness or self-awareness, AI imagination will differ from ours: ours is rooted in bodies, senses and lived experience, theirs in oceans of data, vast computation, and the absence of experience-based understanding. As a result, AI’s brand of imagination is bound to vary in ways beyond human comprehension.
Just as AI has beaten the world’s best human players at chess and Go, it may look at battlefield strategies and drug design with similarly fresh and capable eyes. “In principle, they may even have superior imagination to us in certain fields,” says Rahwan. But for the moment, at least Rahwan isn’t convinced that AI can imagine truly groundbreaking concepts like those dreamed up by human geniuses. “Could today’s machines, had they been trained on knowledge up to 1900, imagine general relativity?” asks Rahwan. “I don’t think so. But this is a very rare ability in humans too.”
12. What does the underlined word “parroting” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Repeating blindly. B. Imagining freely.
C. Analyzing deeply. D. Creating originally.
13. What fundamentally distinguishes human imagination from AI’s?
A. Combination of concepts. B. Bodily experience and senses.
C. Knowledge of cause and effect. D. Analogical reasoning capacities.
14. What might Rahwan agree on AI’s imagination?
A. It is already superior in strategy making. B. It excels that of human geniuses if trained.
C. It makes no real breakthroughs as expected. D. It will develop in a mode defined by human.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Can AI Really Imagine? B. What Is the Future of AI in Art?
C. Is Imagination Unique to Humans? D. Will AI Beat Humans in Imagination?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕人工智能是否具有想象力展开,结合专家观点分析其与人类想象力的差异及发展现状。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“When an artificial intelligence (AI) model generates passable poetry or images from text prompts (提示), we rush to credit it with human-like imagination. But can an AI imagine, or is it just mindlessly parroting training data?(当人工智能模型根据文字提示生成尚可的诗歌或图像时,我们便急于称赞它拥有类人的想象力。但人工智能真的会想象吗?还是说它只是在机械地parroting训练数据?)”可知,这里是在对比人工智能是否能真正想象,还是只是在机械地重复数据。结合“mindlessly(机械地)”可知,“parroting”与“拥有类人想象力”相反,指机械地重复训练数据,与A选项“Repeating blindly(盲目地重复)”语义相近。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“AI imagination will differ from ours: ours is rooted in bodies, senses and lived experience, theirs in oceans of data, vast computation, and the absence of experience-based understanding.(人工智能的想象力与人类的截然不同:人类的想象力植根于躯体、感官与真实的生活体验,而人工智能的则依托于海量数据、庞大的算力,且缺乏基于亲身体验的理解能力)”可知,从根本上区分人类想象力和人工智能想象力的是身体经历和感官。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But for the moment, at least Rahwan isn’t convinced that AI can imagine truly groundbreaking concepts like those dreamed up by human geniuses. “Could today’s machines, had they been trained on knowledge up to 1900, imagine general relativity?” asks Rahwan. “I don’t think so. But this is a very rare ability in humans too.”(但至少目前,Rahwan并不认为人工智能能构想出真正具有开创性的理念,比如那些人类天才们创造出的成果。“倘若用1900年之前的知识对如今的人工智能进行训练,它们能提出广义相对论吗?”Rahwan问道。“我认为不能。但这种能力在人类身上也同样罕见。”)”可知,Rahwan认为人工智能的想象力没有像预期的那样取得真正的突破。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇提出问题“But can an AI imagine, or is it just mindlessly parroting training data?(但人工智能真的会想象吗?还是说它只是在机械地照搬训练数据?)”,接着围绕人工智能是否能真正想象展开讨论,包括人类和人工智能想象力的区别等内容。由此可知,A项“Can AI Really Imagine?(人工智能真的能想象吗?)”适合作为文章标题。故选A。
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。
Last month, a fitness enthusiast friend explained why isometric exercises (等长运动), involving squeezing (挤压) and holding a muscle in a fixed position, are effective at lowering blood pressure. Since then, I have involved them into my own workouts. This got me wondering: do they offer any other benefits?
___16___ Isometric moves can build strength, prevent injuries and reduce pain as well. With no need for equipment or jumping, I can do them almost anytime, anywhere.
One of the clearest advantages is the effectiveness. They build strength without much movement, making them less physically taxing (费力的) than more dynamic workouts. And 42 to 100 days of isometric training increased muscle strength by up to 92 per cent. ___17___ Athletes often use isometric exercises to get stronger at the toughest part of a movement, thus improving the overall performance.
___18___ Though unusual workouts — slow, controlled movements in the lowering phase of an exercise, are commonly used to prevent injuries in football players, isometric exercises are more effective. Isometric moves “wake up” signaling pathways between nerves and muscles, making the latter more responsive during exercise. ___19___
The exercise doesn’t just benefit athletes. A review this year showed isometrics significantly reduced pain and strengthened muscles in people with knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎). ___20___ Considering their benefits, isometric exercises have earned a regular spot in my workout routine. Give them a squeeze — you’ll feel the difference today and carry the strength tomorrow.
A. Yet they may injure those with heart issues.
B. The strength gains can also be quite targeted.
C. As it turns out, yes, and some were unexpected.
D. Studies show they are less effective for weight loss.
E. So people with limited mobility for injuries may find some relief.
F. This may help correct muscle imbalances, a common cause of injury.
G. Adding isometric moves to your warm-ups may also help prevent injuries.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. F 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了等长训练不仅能有效降低血压,还能增强力量、预防运动损伤并帮助缓解疼痛,是一种适合多数人日常锻炼的高效方法。
【16题详解】
前文“Since then, I have involved them into my own workouts. This got me wondering: do they offer any other benefits? (从那以后,我把它们加到我自己的锻炼中。这让我不禁思考:它们是否还有其他益处呢?)”提到作者开始尝试等长训练,并好奇它们是否有其他益处,后文“Isometric moves can build strength, prevent injuries and reduce pain as well. (等长运动能够增强力量、预防受伤以及减轻疼痛。)”列举了具体的益处,因此C项“As it turns out, yes, and some were unexpected. (事实证明,是的,而且有些益处出人意料。)”符合语境,既回答了前文的疑问,又引出后文的详细说明。故选C。
【17题详解】
前文“And 42 to 100 days of isometric training increased muscle strength by up to 92 per cent. (而进行42至100天的等长训练后,肌肉力量提升了高达92%。)”指出等长训练能显著提升肌肉力量,后文“Athletes often use isometric exercises to get stronger at the toughest part of a movement, thus improving the overall performance. (运动员们常常通过等长训练来强化动作中的最困难环节,从而提升整体运动表现。)”举例说明运动员利用它强化特定动作环节,因此B项“The strength gains can also be quite targeted. (这种力量提升还可以很有针对性。)”符合语境,既是对前文数据的进一步阐释,又引出后文强化动作的例子。故选B。
【18题详解】
后文“Though unusual workouts — slow, controlled movements in the lowering phase of an exercise, are commonly used to prevent injuries in football players, isometric exercises are more effective. Isometric moves “wake up” signaling pathways between nerves and muscles, making the latter more responsive during exercise. (虽然不寻常的训练——在运动的降低阶段缓慢、有控制的运动——通常用于防止足球运动员受伤,但等长训练更有效。等长训练能“唤醒”神经与肌肉之间的信号通路,从而使肌肉在运动过程中更加灵敏。)”指出等长训练比一些不寻常的训练对预防损伤更有效,并解释了其原理,因此G项“Adding isometric moves to your warm-ups may also help prevent injuries. (在热身中加入等长训练也有助于预防损伤。)”符合语境,可作为本段主旨句,引出后文预防损伤的话题。故选G。
【19题详解】
前文“Isometric moves “wake up” signaling pathways between nerves and muscles, making the latter more responsive during exercise. (等长训练能“唤醒”神经与肌肉之间的信号通路,从而使肌肉在运动过程中更加灵敏。)”指出等长训练能提高肌肉灵敏度,因此F项“This may help correct muscle imbalances, a common cause of injury. (这可能有助于纠正肌肉不平衡——一种常见的损伤原因。)”符合语境,指出前文肌肉灵敏度提高的作用。故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“A review this year showed isometrics significantly reduced pain and strengthened muscles in people with knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎). (今年的一项研究显示,等长训练显著减轻了膝关节骨关节炎患者的疼痛,并增强了他们的肌肉力量。)”提到等长训练对膝关节炎患者的益处,后文“Considering their benefits, isometric exercises have earned a regular spot in my workout routine. Give them a squeeze — you’ll feel the difference today and carry the strength tomorrow. (考虑到其诸多益处,等长运动已经成为我日常锻炼计划中的固定项目。给它们一点压力——你今天就会感觉到不同,明天就会有力量。)”建议将等长训练纳入日常训练,因此E项“So people with limited mobility for injuries may find some relief. (因此,因损伤导致活动受限的人可能会得到一些缓解。)”符合语境,指出等长训练对特定人群的益处,承接前文研究结论,过渡到后文的建议。故选E。

Developing a good habit takes effort. My key habit is daily reading, which I formed by setting a fixed evening time — starting with 15 minutes and gradually increasing it. Sticking to it required perseverance that kept me going every day.
This habit has greatly influenced me. It broadens my knowledge and improves my vocabulary, and it also enhances my focus so much that I find it easier to concentrate on my studies now. The small habit brings benefits far beyond the books themselves.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
I felt unhappy because I lost my job due to budget cuts and had no clue for a new one. So, I signed up for an art class at our community centre. That’s where I met Rosemary.
When I arrived, the place was packed with about twenty students, most seated with friends. I found the only empty table at the back. That’s when Rosemary rolled in. Very thin with scarf around her head, she wheeled herself to my table. I felt slightly awkward. Two elderly women joined us — both of them needed walking aids. It reminded me of high school’s unpopular table. Rosemary smiled, and her face transformed from a sad, sickly person to an angelic, hairless being. With no eyebrows or make-up, her beauty was real and natural. “|Hi! I’m Rosemary, fighting breast cancer!” she announced proudly. “I’m Pat,” I said.
The six-week course began. We always sat together. By Week 3, I saw Rosemary as a lovely friend, not as a cancer patient. She missed Week 4. I feared the worst, but she returned in Week 5. “Bet you thought I died!” she chuckled (轻声地笑). On the final day, Rosemary invited me for coffee. She pulled out a small notebook. “Must write this down before I forget,” she said. “My mind is like a sieve (筛子).” We both laughed. I was drinking coffee while she was eating her second cupcake. I shared my job worries and sleepless nights.
“Small things, Pat,” she smiled. “Small things?” I was confused. “Yes. After being diagnosed (确诊) with cancer, I listed things I felt grateful for instead of worrying. Things like the sun shone that day, and winter was almost over. I no longer worry about taking care of my hair.” She added, “You’d be amazed at how many small things there are to be grateful for. My last chemo (化疗) is coming up. And meeting you!” My eyes teared up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Rosemary handed me her notebook, smiling brightly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Six months later, I was sitting in my new office.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Rosemary handed me her notebook, smiling brightly. I opened it and saw every page filled with small warm things she cherished: a butterfly by the window, a barista’s kind smile, warm sunshine on her hands, and our quiet painting moments. Tear stains slightly blurred the words, but joy shone through. She told me to keep it and jot down grateful moments when lost. I hugged her tightly, feeling warmth and strength I’d lacked. Her optimism was a light, guiding me out of unemployment’s darkness.
Paragraph 2:
Six months later, I was in my new office. On my desk lay Rosemary’s notebook, which I’d kept close daily. I followed her advice, recording small blessings— a successful interview, a stranger’s help, a hot cup of tea. These lifted my spirits and kept me positive. I’d heard from Rosemary: her chemo ended, and she was recovering well. I picked up the phone to share my new job and my grateful moments. Her lesson changed me forever: happiness lies in cherishing life’s small joys.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了Pat因预算削减失业陷入迷茫,报名社区美术课认识了身患乳腺癌却乐观开朗的Rosemary,在相处中被其积极心态感染,Rosemary向Pat分享以感恩小事化解焦虑的生活态度的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句“Rosemary笑着把笔记本递给了我。”可知,本段可聚焦笔记本里的内容与Pat的内心转变,通过“笔记本写满Rosemary珍视的温暖小事、字迹虽有泪痕却满是喜悦”的细节,呼应前文Rosemary“感恩小事”的观点;再以Rosemary嘱托Pat记录感恩瞬间、Pat紧紧拥抱她并获得力量的情节,体现Rosemary的乐观对Pat的影响,为下文Pat走出迷茫、找到新工作做铺垫,紧扣原文“失业焦虑与乐观救赎”的核心。
② 由第二段首句“六个月后,我坐在了新的办公室里。”可知,本段围绕Pat的改变与两人的后续状况展开,通过“办公桌上的笔记本、Pat坚持记录生活中的小美好、这些小事让她保持积极”的细节,展现Rosemary的话对Pat的实际影响;再以“Rosemary化疗结束、恢复良好,Pat打电话分享喜讯”的情节,形成双向温暖的结局,最后点明“幸福在于珍惜生活中的小美好”的核心感悟,完成从“迷茫焦虑”到“积极前行”的情节闭环与主题升华。
2. 续写线索:Rosemary递出笔记本——笔记本写满温暖感恩小事——Rosemary嘱托Pat记录、Pat获温暖与力量——六个月后Pat拥有新工作——桌上摆着笔记本、坚持记录小美好——Rosemary化疗结束恢复良好——Pat打电话分享喜讯——领悟幸福源于珍惜生活中的小美好

Jude Travis was a little nervous when she first signed up for the class, “Art Start: Who Let the Dogs Out? Paint a Portrait (肖像) of Your Pet” at the Memorial Art Gallery (MAG). A hobby artist and frequenter of the MAG, Travis had never been to a creative workshop before.
Still, Travis enjoyed herself. She praised the instructor, Joan Nichols, for her work engaging the class and her helpful advice for Travis’s portrait of a dog. Getting to talk about pets was a plus too. “I love that the commonality of it is just a pet, which most of the time brings happiness, even if you don’t know this person,” said Travis.
Nichols has been a creative workshop painting instructor at the MAG for about two years. Between kick-starting hearty pet conversation and playing classic tunes like “Hey Jude”, she even had the class warm up with chair yoga. Nichols explained that integrating yoga, in some manner, into her classes helps to separate time for making art from the rest of the day. Yoga helps students to lighten up and concentrate when she’s teaching these one-session, low-commitment Art Starts classes that are only a few hours long.
The class had two projects: first, the “Mangy Mutt”, a loose, casual outline of a pet. Second, the actual portrait of the pet. In contrast to what one might expect, Nichols wasn’t walking her students through the process. She just set out photos of her pets, boxes of material to make collages (拼贴画) with, and tubs of paint brushes and markers. Her students were free to make their portrait however they wanted.
Beyond acquiring the artistic benefits of going to a class like this, Travis cited meeting people who share similar interests as added benefits. She said, “Museums and galleries always have been, at least for me, a safe space.”
4. How did Jude Travis actually find the workshop?
A. Engaging and casual. B. Helpful and common.
C. Traditional and effective. D. Enjoyable and rewarding.
5 Why did Nichols employ yoga in her classes?
A. To start fun pet discussions. B. To make students relaxed and focused.
C. To match the classic music. D. To attract students to exercise.
6. What made Nichols’s class project different?
A. Encouraging free self-expression. B. Providing diverse artistic supplies.
C. Emphasizing yoga as the core activity. D. Giving step-by-step portrait guidance.
7. What additional benefit did Travis get from the workshop?
A. Inspiration for hobby artists. B. Professional painting techniques.
C. Free access to museums and galleries. D. Social connection over shared interests.
C
The sea slugs (蛞蝓) in western Atlantic, Elysia crispata, are infamous thieves. While eating seaweeds, they harvest chloroplasts (叶绿体) which let plants turn sunlight into energy. These stolen cell parts keep functioning inside for about a year, giving the slugs a bright-green color and available food. Their crime once remained a mystery.
A Cell paper led by Harvard biologists throws light. The slug builds bag-like structures from its own cells to house the stolen chloroplasts, thus stopping the immediate digesting in case of food shortage. “It’s a living lunch box growing on their back,” says the lead author Corey Allard.
To reach this conclusion his team fed slugs that had recently consumed seaweeds a chemical tag (标签) to identify any new proteins created within their bodies. Six hours later, the researchers obtained the stolen chloroplasts and analyzed the tagged proteins. Among them were signs of Rab7a, a protein usually found in processes when cells swallow foreign bodies. Observation under a powerful microscope confirmed that each stolen chloroplast was indeed wrapped in the bag-like structure.
The researchers then investigated what the sea slugs do with the stolen chloroplasts by comparing the starvation resistance of Elysia crispata with that of another species, Aplysia californica. The latter storing no chloroplasts was found dead after about four weeks, while the green thief survived four months; subject to starvation, the green slugs switched from storing to digesting the chloroplasts, turning a telltale orange. Dr Allard is studying wider species to see if this process involved is entirely different.
Such slimy tricks, or temporary endosymbiosis (内共生), have exciting implications for human evolutionary history. “Fundamental in the cell evolution to make complex life possible, endosymbiosis took millions of years, while the green slugs offer an insight into it within a single lifetime,” says Nicholas Bellono, a co-author of this latest study. There could be practical applications, too. Understanding the green slug’s trick could inform medicines that grant human cells new tools to fight brain or metabolic (代谢的) diseases, about which Dr Allard is particularly excited. In the natural world, it seems, theft pays handsomely.

When an artificial intelligence (AI) model generates passable poetry or images from text prompts (提示), we rush to credit it with human-like imagination. But can an AI imagine, or is it just mindlessly parroting training data?
Iyad Rahwan at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development has spent a career trying to understand AI not just from a technical point of view but as a social and behavioral phenomenon. He distinguishes two styles of imagination: one is combining concepts, like when an AI draws a chair in the shape of a pear on demand; the other is understanding the consequences and being able to develop plans. AI is capable of combining concepts, says Rahwan. When you ask a large language model complex questions, you realize it has at least some understanding of cause and effect.
“At this mechanistic level, you could say machines can totally copy this process,” Rahwan says. “They do very good analogical (类比的) reasoning.” But given AI doesn’t yet possess and may never acquire consciousness or self-awareness, AI imagination will differ from ours: ours is rooted in bodies, senses and lived experience, theirs in oceans of data, vast computation, and the absence of experience-based understanding. As a result, AI’s brand of imagination is bound to vary in ways beyond human comprehension.
Just as AI has beaten the world’s best human players at chess and Go, it may look at battlefield strategies and drug design with similarly fresh and capable eyes. “In principle, they may even have superior imagination to us in certain fields,” says Rahwan. But for the moment, at least Rahwan isn’t convinced that AI can imagine truly groundbreaking concepts like those dreamed up by human geniuses. “Could today’s machines, had they been trained on knowledge up to 1900, imagine general relativity?” asks Rahwan. “I don’t think so. But this is a very rare ability in humans too.”
12. What does the underlined word “parroting” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Repeating blindly. B. Imagining freely.
C. Analyzing deeply. D. Creating originally.
13. What fundamentally distinguishes human imagination from AI’s?
A. Combination of concepts. B. Bodily experience and senses.
C. Knowledge of cause and effect. D. Analogical reasoning capacities.
14. What might Rahwan agree on AI’s imagination?
A. It is already superior in strategy making. B. It excels that of human geniuses if trained.
C. It makes no real breakthroughs as expected. D. It will develop in a mode defined by human.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Can AI Really Imagine? B. What Is the Future of AI in Art?
C. Is Imagination Unique to Humans? D. Will AI Beat Humans in Imagination?

Last month, a fitness enthusiast friend explained why isometric exercises (等长运动), involving squeezing (挤压) and holding a muscle in a fixed position, are effective at lowering blood pressure. Since then, I have involved them into my own workouts. This got me wondering: do they offer any other benefits?
___16___ Isometric moves can build strength, prevent injuries and reduce pain as well. With no need for equipment or jumping, I can do them almost anytime, anywhere.
One of the clearest advantages is the effectiveness. They build strength without much movement, making them less physically taxing (费力的) than more dynamic workouts. And 42 to 100 days of isometric training increased muscle strength by up to 92 per cent. ___17___ Athletes often use isometric exercises to get stronger at the toughest part of a movement, thus improving the overall performance.
___18___ Though unusual workouts — slow, controlled movements in the lowering phase of an exercise, are commonly used to prevent injuries in football players, isometric exercises are more effective. Isometric moves “wake up” signaling pathways between nerves and muscles, making the latter more responsive during exercise. ___19___
The exercise doesn’t just benefit athletes. A review this year showed isometrics significantly reduced pain and strengthened muscles in people with knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎). ___20___ Considering their benefits, isometric exercises have earned a regular spot in my workout routine. Give them a squeeze — you’ll feel the difference today and carry the strength tomorrow.
A. Yet they may injure those with heart issues.
B. The strength gains can also be quite targeted.
C. As it turns out, yes, and some were unexpected.
D. Studies show they are less effective for weight loss.
E. So people with limited mobility for injuries may find some relief.
F. This may help correct muscle imbalances, a common cause of injury.
G. Adding isometric moves to your warm-ups may also help prevent injuries.

I felt unhappy because I lost my job due to budget cuts and had no clue for a new one. So, I signed up for an art class at our community centre. That’s where I met Rosemary.
When I arrived, the place was packed with about twenty students, most seated with friends. I found the only empty table at the back. That’s when Rosemary rolled in. Very thin with scarf around her head, she wheeled herself to my table. I felt slightly awkward. Two elderly women joined us — both of them needed walking aids. It reminded me of high school’s unpopular table. Rosemary smiled, and her face transformed from a sad, sickly person to an angelic, hairless being. With no eyebrows or make-up, her beauty was real and natural. “|Hi! I’m Rosemary, fighting breast cancer!” she announced proudly. “I’m Pat,” I said.
The six-week course began. We always sat together. By Week 3, I saw Rosemary as a lovely friend, not as a cancer patient. She missed Week 4. I feared the worst, but she returned in Week 5. “Bet you thought I died!” she chuckled (轻声地笑). On the final day, Rosemary invited me for coffee. She pulled out a small notebook. “Must write this down before I forget,” she said. “My mind is like a sieve (筛子).” We both laughed. I was drinking coffee while she was eating her second cupcake. I shared my job worries and sleepless nights.
“Small things, Pat,” she smiled. “Small things?” I was confused. “Yes. After being diagnosed (确诊) with cancer, I listed things I felt grateful for instead of worrying. Things like the sun shone that day, and winter was almost over. I no longer worry about taking care of my hair.” She added, “You’d be amazed at how many small things there are to be grateful for. My last chemo (化疗) is coming up. And meeting you!” My eyes teared up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Paragraph 1:
Rosemary handed me her notebook, smiling brightly.
