Born in Mount Vernon, New York, in 1955, Mark Davis grew up in a lower-class neighbourhood filled with various criminal (犯罪的) activities. When his parents separated, his mother’s strong determination kept him from becoming another statistic, sending him to military school (军校) where he first learned to behave.
Like many young people searching for direction, Mark explored different paths. One summer, while working as a camp teacher at the local community centre’s summer camp, he had his first experience performing in front of an audience when he was asked to put on a show for the kids. His natural attraction and stage presence was unquestionable. This experience awakened his interest in performing. Recognizing his love for performance, he went to a state college to study drama.
On the college’s theatre stage, Mark poured his heart into every practice and performance, getting rich experience. After graduation, immediate success didn’t come. He started with small roles, performing in a community theatre group before landing opportunities in small independent productions or regional television projects. An important turning point came when he was chosen as a regular reporter for a documentary series called City Pulse produced by a regional public television station. This role gave him a fixed platform and allowed his talent and communication skills to reach a wider audience.
Around the year of 2000, his deep involvement (参与) in hosting an important community project focusing on marginalized (边缘化) groups won him a “Community Service Award for Outstanding Contribution” from local organizations. This award was a major recognition of his years of focused work, marking an important milestone in his career (职业生涯).
He never forgot his roots and deeply understood the importance of the help he received along his journey. As his situation improved, he actively gave back. Over the years, he continually supported various charitable organizations, such as the “Community Youth Centre” helping at-risk teenagers and the “Wish Project” fulfilling wishes of seriously ill children.
4. What does the underlined phrase “another statistic” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A famous teacher. B. An excellent graduate.
C. A person with bad behaviour. D. A successful Hollywood actor.
5. Where did Mark first realize his love for performance?
A At a military school. B. At a community summer camp.
C. In a state college. D. In a local community theatre.
6. What can we know about Mark’s career development?
A. He made little money. B. He advanced through tireless efforts.
C. He received lots of support from his parents. D. He achieved immediate success after graduation.
7. Which word can best describe Mark?
A. Humorous. B. Honest. C. Proud. D. Caring.
C
About 80% of orange cats are males (雄性), including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team: Zuko, Benny, Tang and Dorito. Scientists have long believed that their orange colour was a sex-linked characteristic-hiding somewhere on the X chromosome (染色体)of cats.
Male cats — just like male humans — have an X and a Y chromosome, so any male cat with this mutation (基因突变)ends up orange. Due to X chromosome inactivation, female cats require the mutation on both X chromosomes to be fully orange, which is less likely.
Two independent teams have located and characterized the mutation responsible for this fur colour. One was led by Hiro Sasaki at Kyushu University in Japan and another was led by Christopher Bryan Kaelin at Stanford University. Both groups shared their results in the journal Current Biology on Thursday. They found that the mutation responsible for orange colouration increases the activity of a nearby gene (基因), known as Arhgap36. This gene is normally expressed in neuroendocrine tissues (神经内分泌组织). However, the orange mutation in cats appears to cause this gene to express in pigment cells (色素细胞).
No orange cats were harmed during the research. In fact, study author Greg Barsh says the Stanford team partnered with cat lovers and community scientists to collect DNA samples from lots of different orange cats. "It's an example of how scientists and the public can work together to not only uncover cool things, but also learn important facts about biology,” Barsh says.
There are some other important facts about cats that are worth cat lovers' consideration. For example, calico and tortoiseshell cats (三花和玳瑁猫)carry this mutation as well. Another fun fact: Nearly all calico and tortoiseshell cats are female because this orange mutation is found on only one of their X chromosomes. Finally, any male calico or male tortoiseshell cat is highly uncommon, which is the result of having an extra X chromosome.
8. Why are most orange cats male?
A. Males are more active. B. Males have two X chromosomes.
C. The mutation only occurs in males. D. Males need only one copy of the mutation.
9. What did scientists discover about the orange mutation?
A. It harms a pigment gene. B. It changes gene fuanction.
C. It activates a nearby gene. D. It stops fur colour formation.
10. How did researchers carry out their study?
A. By collecting DNA samples. B. By visiting scientists.
C. By buying orange cats. D. By testing wild cats.
11. What makes male calico cats highly uncommon?
A. They have no pigment cells. B. They are less preferred as pets.
C. They won't be influenced by mutation. D. They must have an extra X chromosome.
D
The next major tech advance will be AI agents — smart helpers that complete many difficult tasks for us without needing constant commands (不断的指令). What is an AI agent? A quick refresher: Most people are familiar with generative AI, like ChatGPT, which creates text and images based on prompts (提示). AI agents don’t just respond to prompts; they take action, completing various difficult tasks without any help from us.
For example, while ChatGPT can offer instructions of how to make a dish, an AI agent could order the ingredients (配料), control smart kitchen tools, and improve the process each time. Imagine planning a trip: instead of you checking flights and hotels, an AI agent finds the best deals immediately. If your flight cancels, it fixes your plans automatically (自动地) — working 24/7 to protect your time. For smart home lovers, agents will control all devices through one simple command, replacing confusing apps.
Daily helpers like Siri will become super assistants (助手)that: manage your schedule, learn your habits through conversation and help achieve long-term goals. They’ll organize messages across apps, blocking unwanted contacts while ensuring important messages reach you. Soon, agents could deal with almost all phone tasks — shopping, booking rides, meals, banking, and social media-freeing hours daily. This will change how humans use technology as deeply as the Internet did.
However, letting machines make decisions raises worries: Could they make bad money choices? Will they truly act in our best interest? Since agents connect to other systems, strong safety rules are needed to prevent problems while using their help.
Despite the risks, these AI helpers will change work, home life, and free time, making daily tasks simpler and faster. Their ability to solve problems and provide information will reshape our world, though challenges like job changes and privacy must be addressed.
12. What is an advantage of AI agents over ChatGPT?
A. Responding to text prompts. B. Creating images automatically.
C. Performing tasks independently. D. Giving instructions of making a dish.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. AI agents can help order food. B. Siri will block all the messages.
C. Siri has become a robot assistant. D. AI agents will replace phones in the future.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI helpers?
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Dangers of AI Agents B. How AI Agents Change Daily Life
C. Smart Homes Are Facing Challenges D. The End of Human Decision-Making

A Few Simple Ways to Get Inspired
Many creative people are famous for their strange ways of finding inspiration (灵感). Inspiration is not easy to get, so it’s no wonder people chase (追逐) after it in strange ways. But you don’t have to go to extremes. ___16___
Keep an idea book or an inspiration board.
Inspiration might not come all at once. ___17___ With an idea book or a vision board, you can keep track of these puzzle pieces and use them to find inspiration later on. If you like working with words, create an idea book where you can write down ideas. If you’ re more visual (视觉的), take pictures that inspire you and turn them into a vision board.
___18___
Many people go to sleep and wake up inspired. While most sleep refreshes your brain, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is especially good at prompting (推动) inspiration. Alternating between REM and non-REM sleep helps your brain reshape networks, making you more likely to think up ideas when you wake up.
Spend time in nature.
___19___ And nature has inspired a long line of artists. E. B. White came up with the story for Charlotte’s Web after watching a spider make her net. Researchers have also found that spending time in nature improves cognitive (认知的) ability, setting you up to make more connections between ideas.
Play and laugh.
Spending some of your free time with children can· bring inspiration closer to the surface. Your creativity decreases as you age, and children are experts in play, which is all about experimenting and opening up new possibilities. Looking at the world through open eyes can be a powerful source of creative inspiration. Humour and laughter can also lead to inspiration. ___20___
A. Go to sleep.
B. Stick to your sleeping habit.
C. Even just reading a book could prompt inspiration.

I have two new cats, and you are all invited to see them after school!” Julie said to the 2nd grade class when it was her turn to introduce herself. Julie knew she was outgoing (外向的) and sometimes loud. With her bright red, curly (卷曲) hair and mismatched socks, Julie appeared a little frightening to the shy kids. She couldn’t help it!

Mrs. Diaz, the teacher, smiled and thanked Julie for sharing. Mrs. Diaz then introduced a new kid named Andy Collins. When he spoke, he was quiet and didn’t say much. Julie thought she had seen him at breakfast. He had been sitting alone and not eating. Mrs. Diaz then partnered him with Eric as his “buddy” for the day. After class, Julie had forgotten all about Andy. She played four square, swung across the monkey bars twice, and shot a hoop (铁环) that didn’t make the basket. “I love being back at school,” later thought Julie as she took her seat and got ready to work on maths.
At lunchtime, Julie noticed that Andy was sitting with Eric and his friends but not talking to anyone. “He looks lonely, ” thought Julie, as she ate up her pizza, drank her milk, and went outside to play hide-and-seek with a group that was already playing.
When the bell rang to go home for the day Julie walked up to Mrs. Diaz and gave her a big hug. “Thank you for a great first day! ” Julie said.
“I’ll see you tomorrow! ” Mrs. Diaz told her. She smiled to herself about her outgoing student.

Born in Mount Vernon, New York, in 1955, Mark Davis grew up in a lower-class neighbourhood filled with various criminal (犯罪的) activities. When his parents separated, his mother’s strong determination kept him from becoming another statistic, sending him to military school (军校) where he first learned to behave.
Like many young people searching for direction, Mark explored different paths. One summer, while working as a camp teacher at the local community centre’s summer camp, he had his first experience performing in front of an audience when he was asked to put on a show for the kids. His natural attraction and stage presence was unquestionable. This experience awakened his interest in performing. Recognizing his love for performance, he went to a state college to study drama.
On the college’s theatre stage, Mark poured his heart into every practice and performance, getting rich experience. After graduation, immediate success didn’t come. He started with small roles, performing in a community theatre group before landing opportunities in small independent productions or regional television projects. An important turning point came when he was chosen as a regular reporter for a documentary series called City Pulse produced by a regional public television station. This role gave him a fixed platform and allowed his talent and communication skills to reach a wider audience.
Around the year of 2000, his deep involvement (参与) in hosting an important community project focusing on marginalized (边缘化) groups won him a “Community Service Award for Outstanding Contribution” from local organizations. This award was a major recognition of his years of focused work, marking an important milestone in his career (职业生涯).
He never forgot his roots and deeply understood the importance of the help he received along his journey. As his situation improved, he actively gave back. Over the years, he continually supported various charitable organizations, such as the “Community Youth Centre” helping at-risk teenagers and the “Wish Project” fulfilling wishes of seriously ill children.
4. What does the underlined phrase “another statistic” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A famous teacher. B. An excellent graduate.
C. A person with bad behaviour. D. A successful Hollywood actor.
5. Where did Mark first realize his love for performance?
A. At a military school. B. At a community summer camp.
C. In a state college. D. In a local community theatre.
6. What can we know about Mark’s career development?
A. He made little money. B. He advanced through tireless efforts.
C. He received lots of support from his parents. D. He achieved immediate success after graduation.
7. Which word can best describe Mark?

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“On the college’s theatre stage, Mark poured his heart into every practice and performance, getting rich experience. After graduation, immediate success didn’t come. He started with small roles, performing in a community theatre group before landing opportunities in small independent productions or regional television projects.(在大学的戏剧舞台上,Mark全身心地投入到每一次排练和表演中,获得了丰富的经验。毕业后,他并没有立即取得成功。他从小角色开始,在社区剧团表演,后来才获得了在小型独立制作或地区电视项目中的机会。)”可推知,Mark的职业发展是通过不懈努力取得的。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He never forgot his roots and deeply understood the importance of the help he received along his journey. As his situation improved, he actively gave back. Over the years, he continually supported various charitable organizations, such as the “Community Youth Centre” helping at-risk teenagers and the “Wish Project” fulfilling wishes of seriously ill children.(他从未忘记自己的出身,并深刻理解在他的人生旅途中得到的帮助的重要性。随着他的情况好转,他积极回馈社会。多年来,他不断支持各种慈善组织,如帮助有风险的青少年的“社区青年中心”和实现重病儿童愿望的“愿望项目”。)”可推知,Mark是一个有爱心的人。故选D。
C
About 80% of orange cats are males (雄性), including the four orange cats owned by the Short Wave team: Zuko, Benny, Tang and Dorito. Scientists have long believed that their orange colour was a sex-linked characteristic-hiding somewhere on the X chromosome (染色体)of cats.
Male cats — just like male humans — have an X and a Y chromosome, so any male cat with this mutation (基因突变)ends up orange. Due to X chromosome inactivation, female cats require the mutation on both X chromosomes to be fully orange, which is less likely.
Two independent teams have located and characterized the mutation responsible for this fur colour. One was led by Hiro Sasaki at Kyushu University in Japan and another was led by Christopher Bryan Kaelin at Stanford University. Both groups shared their results in the journal Current Biology on Thursday. They found that the mutation responsible for orange colouration increases the activity of a nearby gene (基因), known as Arhgap36. This gene is normally expressed in neuroendocrine tissues (神经内分泌组织). However, the orange mutation in cats appears to cause this gene to express in pigment cells (色素细胞).
No orange cats were harmed during the research. In fact study author Greg Barsh says the Stanford team partnered with cat lovers and community scientists to collect DNA samples from lots of different orange cats. "It's an example of how scientists and the public can work together to not only uncover cool things, but also learn important facts about biology,” Barsh says.
There are some other important facts about cats that are worth cat lovers' consideration. For example, calico and tortoiseshell cats (三花和玳瑁猫)carry this mutation as well. Another fun fact: Nearly all calico and tortoiseshell cats are female because this orange mutation is found on only one of their X chromosomes. Finally, any male calico or male tortoiseshell cat is highly uncommon, which is the result of having an extra X chromosome.
8. Why are most orange cats male?
A. Males are more active. B. Males have two X chromosomes.
C. The mutation only occurs in males. D. Males need only one copy of the mutation.
9. What did scientists discover about the orange mutation?
A. It harms a pigment gene. B. It changes gene fuanction.
C. It activates a nearby gene. D. It stops fur colour formation.
10. How did researchers carry out their study?
A. By collecting DNA samples. B. By visiting scientists.
C. By buying orange cats. D. By testing wild cats.
11. What makes male calico cats highly uncommon?
A. They have no pigment cells. B. They are less preferred as pets.
C. They won't be influenced by mutation. D. They must have an extra X chromosome.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大多数橘猫为雄性的基因原因、科学家对橘色毛发基因突变的研究发现,以及关于三花和玳瑁猫的相关基因常识。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Male cats — just like male humans — have an X and a Y chromosome, so any male cat with this mutation (基因突变)ends up orange. Due to X chromosome inactivation, female cats require the mutation on both X chromosomes to be fully orange, which is less likely. (雄性猫和雄性人类一样,有一条X染色体和一条Y染色体,所以任何带有这种基因突变的雄性猫最终都会是橘色的。由于X染色体失活,雌性猫需要两条X染色体上都发生这种突变才能完全呈现橘色,而这种情况发生的概率更低。)”可知,大多数橘猫是雄性的原因是雄性猫只需要一份基因突变(就会呈现橘色)。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They found that the mutation responsible for orange colouration increases the activity of a nearby gene (基因), known as Arhgap36. This gene is normally expressed in neuroendocrine tissues (神经内分泌组织). However, the orange mutation in cats appears to cause this gene to express in pigment cells (色素细胞). (他们发现,导致橘色毛发的基因突变会增强附近一个名为Arhgap36的基因的活性。这种基因通常在神经内分泌组织中表达。然而,猫身上的橘色基因突变似乎会导致这种基因在色素细胞中表达。)”可知,科学家发现橘色基因突变会激活附近的一个基因。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In fact, study author Greg Barsh says the Stanford team partnered with cat lovers and community scientists to collect DNA samples from lots of different orange cats. (事实上,研究作者格雷格·巴什表示,斯坦福大学的团队与爱猫人士和社区科学家合作,从许多不同的橘猫身上收集了DNA样本。)”可知,研究人员是通过收集DNA样本来开展研究的。故选A项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Finally, any male calico or male tortoiseshell cat is highly uncommon, which is the result of having an extra X chromosome. (最后,雄性三花猫或雄性玳瑁猫极为罕见,这是拥有一条额外X染色体的结果。)”可知,雄性三花猫极为罕见的原因是它们必须有一条额外的X染色体。故选D项。
D
The next major tech advance will be AI agents — smart helpers that complete many difficult tasks for us without needing constant commands (不断的指令). What is an AI agent? A quick refresher: Most people are familiar with generative AI, like ChatGPT, which creates text and images based on prompts (提示). AI agents don’t just respond to prompts; they take action, completing various difficult tasks without any help from us.
For example, while ChatGPT can offer instructions of how to make a dish, an AI agent could order the ingredients (配料), control smart kitchen tools, and improve the process each time. Imagine planning a trip: instead of you checking flights and hotels, an AI agent finds the best deals immediately. If your flight cancels, it fixes your plans automatically (自动地) — working 24/7 to protect your time. For smart home lovers, agents will control all devices through one simple command, replacing confusing apps.
Daily helpers like Siri will become super assistants (助手)that: manage your schedule, learn your habits through conversation and help achieve long-term goals. They’ll organize messages across apps, blocking unwanted contacts while ensuring important messages reach you. Soon, agents could deal with almost all phone tasks — shopping, booking rides, meals, banking, and social media-freeing hours daily. This will change how humans use technology as deeply as the Internet did.
However, letting machines make decisions raises worries: Could they make bad money choices? Will they truly act in our best interest? Since agents connect to other systems, strong safety rules are needed to prevent problems while using their help.
Despite the risks, these AI helpers will change work, home life, and free time, making daily tasks simpler and faster. Their ability to solve problems and provide information will reshape our world, though challenges like job changes and privacy must be addressed.
12. What is an advantage of AI agents over ChatGPT?
A. Responding to text prompts. B. Creating images automatically.
C. Performing tasks independently. D. Giving instructions of making a dish.
13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. AI agents can help order food. B. Siri will block all the messages.
C. Siri has become a robot assistant. D. AI agents will replace phones in the future.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI helpers?
A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Supportive.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Dangers of AI Agents B. How AI Agents Change Daily Life
C. Smart Homes Are Facing Challenges D. The End of Human Decision-Making
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】

A Few Simple Ways to Get Inspired
Many creative people are famous for their strange ways of finding inspiration (灵感). Inspiration is not easy to get, so it’s no wonder people chase (追逐) after it in strange ways. But you don’t have to go to extremes. ___16___
Keep an idea book or an inspiration board.
Inspiration might not come all at once. ___17___ With an idea book or a vision board, you can keep track of these puzzle pieces and use them to find inspiration later on. If you like working with words, create an idea book where you can write down ideas. If you’ re more visual (视觉的), take pictures that inspire you and turn them into a vision board.
___18___
Many people go to sleep and wake up inspired. While most sleep refreshes your brain, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is especially good at prompting (推动) inspiration. Alternating between REM and non-REM sleep helps your brain reshape networks, making you more likely to think up ideas when you wake up.
Spend time in nature.
___19___ And nature has inspired a long line of artists. E. B. White came up with the story for Charlotte’s Web after watching a spider make her net. Researchers have also found that spending time in nature improves cognitive (认知的) ability, setting you up to make more connections between ideas.
Play and laugh.
Spending some of your free time with children can· bring inspiration closer to the surface. Your creativity decreases as you age, and children are experts in play, which is all about experimenting and opening up new possibilities. Looking at the world through open eyes can be a powerful source of creative inspiration. Humour and laughter can also lead to inspiration. ___20___
A. Go to sleep.
B. Stick to your sleeping habit.
C. Even just reading a book could prompt inspiration.
D. Experts recommend using humour at work to get ideas.
E. You may experience tiny flashes that turn into something big.

“My name is Julie Hanson. I am excited to be back in school. I have two new cats, and you are all invited to see them after school!” Julie said to the 2nd grade class when it was her turn to introduce herself. Julie knew she was outgoing (外向的) and sometimes loud. With her bright red, curly (卷曲) hair and mismatched socks, Julie appeared a little frightening to the shy kids. She couldn’t help it! She loved school, her friends, and being the centre of attention. Julie’s mum said she attracted friends like fruit flies to apple juice.
Mrs. Diaz, the teacher, smiled and thanked Julie for sharing. Mrs. Diaz then introduced a new kid named Andy Collins. When he spoke, he was quiet and didn’t say much. Julie thought she had seen him at breakfast. He had been sitting alone and not eating. Mrs. Diaz then partnered him with Eric as his “buddy” for the day. After class, Julie had forgotten all about Andy. She played four square, swung across the monkey bars twice, and shot a hoop (铁环) that didn’t make the basket. “I love being back at school,” later thought Julie as she took her seat and got ready to work on maths.
At lunchtime, Julie noticed that Andy was sitting with Eric and his friends but not talking to anyone. “He looks lonely, ” thought Julie, as she ate up her pizza, drank her milk, and went outside to play hide-and-seek with a group that was already playing.
When the bell rang to go home for the day, Julie walked up to Mrs. Diaz and gave her a big hug. “Thank you for a great first day! ” Julie said.
“I’ll see you tomorrow! ” Mrs. Diaz told her. She smiled to herself about her outgoing student.

【答案】 The next morning, Julie saw that Andy was by himself at breakfast again. She remembered how lonely he looked yesterday and decided to do something. She took her tray and walked over to Andy. “Hi, Andy! Mind if I sit here?” she asked with a big smile. Andy looked up, a bit surprised, but nodded shyly. Julie started chatting about all the fun things they could do at school, like playing on the playground and doing art projects. Andy listened, a small smile slowly forming on his face. She introduced Andy to her other friends, and they all greeted him warmly.
Julie smiled, feeling good helping Andy make friends. As the days went by, Andy became more and more comfortable in the class. He started participating in games and conversations. Julie was happy to see the change in Andy. One day, Andy even initiated a conversation with some other kids during recess. Julie felt a sense of pride. She realized that a simple act of kindness could make a big difference. From then on, Julie continued to be friendly and inclusive, always looking out for those who seemed lonely. And Andy was no longer the shy, lonely boy.
