When I was seven, my father drove our old car to the edge of a cliff in California. The salt mist from the Pacific fogged the windshield. He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky. Sea birds circled, their cries lost in the wind. I held the seat tightly, fearing the cliff would collapse. For weeks, I dreamt of falling, not a terrifying dive, but a gentle drift into the ocean’s embrace.
At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of the Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges.” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet.
Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2: 17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the doctor said “lung cancer, stage four.” The cliff still waits for others — the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone.
Last summer, I took my daughter to that same overlook. The side rail had faded, but she peered over the edge, her small hand holding mine. “Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give — the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered — often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question.
19. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 refers to a particular place where_________.
A. sea birds circled over the gray water B. the boy underwent a terrifying falling
C. the sea and sky mixed into one far away D. the cliff would collapse into the ocean’s embrace
20. Why did the author dream of the cliff again?
A. The perfect blue satellite images triggered his fearful memory.
B. The absence of edges of the Earth drove him to visit the cliff again.
C. The globe convinced him cliffs were just harmless natural landscape.
D. The knowledge of the borderless Earth went against his earlier belief.
21. How does the author understand “edge” in paragraph 3?
A. The power of a newborn in his life.
B. Turning moments in life that break certainty.
C. A geographic edge to recall childhood memory.
D. All the miserable failures you have experienced.
22. What can we learn from the author’s reaction to his daughter’s question?
A. He thought science had provided an answer to her question.
B. He felt the waves were too noisy to make any further conversation.
C. His daughter was too young to understand the facts about currents or Columbus.
D. He wanted his daughter to keep exploring rather than accept ready-made answers.
C
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.”
So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.
23. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell aging.
C. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
D. To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction.
24. What does TOR serve as?
A. A sign of aging. B. An energy source.
C. A growth command center. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
25. What does John-Patrick suggest about the research?
A. Possible direction for further research. B. Benefits of present applications.
C. Characteristics of the research. D. Choice of new research methods.
26. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long.
B. Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways.
D. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells.
D
In a drawing room in rural Oxfordshire, an artist slowly and deliberately puts pen to paper. Her arm moves across the canvas, the marks gradually integrating into a portrait of herself. It seems like a moment of creative expression. But this is no ordinary artist — she is the world’s first humanoid robot artist, Ai-Da. By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it.
Will AI algorithms (算法) and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry, or can they strengthen our own creative potential? When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (小便池) be considered art, he flipped the art world on its head. In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world, because both are controversial and contain objects that haven’t technically been created by an “artist’s” hand.
Someone argues that a humanoid artist like Ai-Da represents society’s current fears — the rise of job-stealing AI algorithms and potential robot domination. But technological revolutions like artificial intelligence don’t necessarily mean the “end of art” as many fear. Instead, they can help to kick start an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity.
However, questions of authorship haunt the artificial intelligence story. Artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst co-founded Spawning AI, which aimed at empowering human creators to prohibit AI from using their works. But there are also artists who see AI as a new outlet for their own creativity. Some artists are now even training algorithms in an attempt to push their own creative boundaries.
It’s clear that AI algorithms and machines like Ai-Da are having an impact on the art world. Their works are exhibited alongside more traditional forms of art worldwide. Next year we’ll see the world’s first AI art gallery open its doors in LA. Eva Jager, the creative AI lead, is also helping to bring AI art to the masses, with a programme of exhibitions leading to a critical discussion about the impact of technology on art. She sees the cooperation between human and machine as a space for real creative potential.
27. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Overturned the art standards. B. Controlled the art world.
C. Broadened artists’ horizons. D. Recognized artists’ wisdom.
28. What influence may Ai-Da generate on the art world?
A. It may change the origin of art. B. It may replace human artists soon.
C. It may boost human creativity. D. It may help artists protect their works.
29. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Spawning AI helped produce better art works.
B. AI art is being spread to engage a wider audience.
C. Some artists trained AI to increase their productivity.
D. The gallery is an immediate success in the art market.
30. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To express concerns that AI artists may steal our jobs.
B. To record the AI development and its significance in art.
C. To explore the impact of AI on art definition and creativity.
D. To argue that a balance is needed between AI and humans in art.

B
When I was seven, my father drove our old car to the edge of a cliff in California. The salt mist from the Pacific fogged the windshield. He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky. Sea birds circled, their cries lost in the wind. I held the seat tightly, fearing the cliff would collapse. For weeks, I dreamt of falling, not a terrifying dive, but a gentle drift into the ocean’s embrace.
At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of the Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges.” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet.
Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2: 17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the doctor said “lung cancer, stage four.” The cliff still waits for others — the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone.
Last summer, I took my daughter to that same overlook. The side rail had faded, but she peered over the edge, her small hand holding mine. “Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give — the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered — often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question.
19. The underlined sentence in paragraph 1 refers to a particular place where_________.
A. sea birds circled over the gray water B. the boy underwent a terrifying falling
C. the sea and sky mixed into one far away D. the cliff would collapse into the ocean’s embrace
20. Why did the author dream of the cliff again?
A. The perfect blue satellite images triggered his fearful memory.
B. The absence of edges of the Earth drove him to visit the cliff again.
C. The globe convinced him cliffs were just harmless natural landscape.
D. The knowledge of the borderless Earth went against his earlier belief.
21. How does the author understand “edge” in paragraph 3?
A. The power of a newborn in his life.
B. Turning moments in life that break certainty.
C. A geographic edge to recall childhood memory.
D. All the miserable failures you have experienced.
22. What can we learn from the author’s reaction to his daughter’s question?
A. He thought science had provided an answer to her question.
B. He felt the waves were too noisy to make any further conversation.
C. His daughter was too young to understand the facts about currents or Columbus.
D. He wanted his daughter to keep exploring rather than accept ready-made answers.
【答案】19. C 20. D 21. B 22. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在不同人生阶段对“世界边缘”的理解,以及这种理解如何影响他对生活和探索的看法。
【19题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“He pointed to the horizon and said, “This is where the world ends.” I believed him. The gray water seemed endless, blending sea and sky.(他指向天际说:“This is where the world ends.”我信了他的话。灰色的海水望不到边,海天融为一体。)”可知,This is where the world ends指的是海和天在远处融为一体的地方。故选C。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“At twelve, I stood in a bright classroom learning about geography. Mrs. Wilkins showed us satellite images of the Earth, a perfect blue planet. “There are no edges.” she assured us, tapping the globe. But that night, I dreamt of the cliff again, the waves roaring like a hungry beast beneath my hanging feet.(十二岁时,我站在明亮的教室里上地理课。威尔金斯夫人给我们展示了地球的卫星图像 —— 一颗完美的蓝色星球。“世界没有尽头。”她点着地球仪,笃定地告诉我们。可那天夜里,我又梦到了那处悬崖,悬在半空的脚边,海浪像饥饿的猛兽般咆哮着)”可知,作者十二岁时在地理课之后又梦到了悬崖,是因为地球无边界的知识与他之前对悬崖的信仰相悖。故选D。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Now at thirty-seven, I understand my father wasn’t lying. Every generation needs its own edge of the world, a place where certainty fades into wonder. Mine came when I held my newborn at 2:17 AM and realized I knew nothing about love. My brother found his edge when the doctor said “lung cancer, stage four.” The cliff still waits for others — the newly divorced, the recently bankrupt, the suddenly alone.(如今我三十七岁了,终于明白父亲没有说谎。每一代人都需要属于自己的 “世界尽头”,那是一个原本笃定的一切都消散,转而被未知填满的地方。我的 “世界尽头”,是在凌晨2点17分抱着我的新生儿,忽然意识到自己对爱一无所知的时刻。我哥哥的“世界尽头”是在医生宣布他患上四期肺癌时。这处悬崖还在等着其他人 —— 刚离婚的人、刚破产的人,或是骤然孤身一人的人)”可知,作者认为“悬崖”指的是打破确定性的重要人生时刻。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Daddy,” she whispered, “what’s on the other side?” I thought of all the answers I could give — the science of ocean currents, the geography of distant shores, even Columbus’s certainty. Instead, I knelt beside her and said, “No one knows for sure. That’s why we keep looking.” The wind carried our voices out to sea as the waves continued their endless work below, carving new edges for new generations. Some truths aren’t meant to be taught, but discovered — often at the cliff edge of what we think we know. When my daughter eventually stands at her own cliff edge, I hope she remembers this moment not as an ending, but as the first real question.(“爸爸,”她低声说,“那边是什么?”我想到了所有我能给出的答案——洋流的科学,遥远海岸的地理,甚至哥伦布的确定性。相反,我蹲在她身边说:‘没有人确切知道。这就是我们不断寻找的原因。’风把我们的声音带到了海上,海浪在下面继续着它们无尽的工作,为新一代雕刻新的边缘。有些真理不是用来教的,而是用来发现的——通常在我们自认为知道的悬崖边缘。当我女儿最终站在她自己的悬崖边缘时,我希望她记住这一刻不是一个结束,而是第一个真正的问题)”可知,作者这样回答女儿的问题,是想让女儿不断探索,而不是接受现成的答案。故选D。
C
Caffeine has long been linked to potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of age-related diseases. But, until now, how it works inside our cells, and what exactly its connection with nutrient and stress responsive gene and protein networks is have remained a mystery. In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.
A few years ago, the same research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called Target of Rapamycin (TOR). TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.
But in their latest study, the scientists made a surprising discovery: Caffeine doesn’t act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge (能量监测器) that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.
“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope.” explains Dr Charalampos, the study’s senior author. “Importantly, our results show that caffeine helps turn on that switch.”
Using their yeast model, the researchers showed that caffeine’s effect on AMPK influences how cells grow, repair their DNA, and respond to stress — all of which are tied to aging and disease.
“These findings help explain why caffeine might be beneficial to health and longevity (长寿),” said Dr. John-Patrick, a postdoctoral research scientist leading this study. “And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.”
So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.
23. What is the main purpose of the new research mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To explore the history of caffeine consumption.
B. To identify how caffeine influences cell aging.
C. To compare human cells with fission yeast cells.
D. To find new use of caffeine in cell reproduction.
24. What does TOR serve as?
A. A sign of aging. B. An energy source.
C. A growth command center. D. A cellular fuel gauge.
25. What does John-Patrick suggest about the research?
A. Possible direction for further research. B. Benefits of present applications.
C. Characteristics of the research. D. Choice of new research methods.
26. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AMPK Is Conserved in Yeast and Humans for Long.
B. Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.
C. The Yeast Model Unlocks Aging’s Hidden Pathways.
D. Fission Yeast Is Surprisingly Similar to Human Cells.
【答案】23. B 24. C 25. A 26. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了咖啡因如何通过影响细胞内的能量系统来减缓细胞衰老,并探讨了这一发现对未来健康研究的潜在影响。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中,研究人员发现,咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老,裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知,这项新研究的主要目的是确定咖啡因如何影响细胞衰老。故选B项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available.(TOR是一种生物开关,根据可用食物和能量的多少告诉细胞何时生长)”可知,TOR是细胞生长的指令中心,根据可用食物和能量的多少来告诉细胞何时生长。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And they open up exciting possibilities for future research into how we might flip these effects more directly — with diet, lifestyle, or new medicines.(它们为未来的研究开辟了令人兴奋的可能性,即我们如何通过饮食、生活方式或新药物更直接地改变这些影响)”可知,John-Patrick的话指出了这项研究带来的潜在未来研究方向,即通过饮食、生活方式或新药物来更直接地改变咖啡因对细胞的影响。故选A项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段中“In a new research on fission yeast (裂殖酵母), a single-celled organism surprisingly similar to human cells, researchers found that caffeine affects aging by employing an ancient cellular energy system.(在一项针对裂殖酵母的新研究中,研究人员发现,咖啡因通过利用一种古老的细胞能量系统来影响衰老,裂殖酵母是一种与人类细胞惊人相似的单细胞生物)”可知,文章介绍了一项科学研究,揭示了咖啡因通过激活细胞内的AMPK能量监测系统,进而影响细胞生长、DNA修复和应激反应,这些都与延缓衰老和促进长寿有关。同时,文章结尾“So, the next time you reach for your coffee, you might be doing more than just boosting your focus — you could also be giving your cells a helping hand.(所以,下次你去拿咖啡的时候,你所做的可能不仅仅是提高你的注意力——你还可以帮助你的细胞)”将这一发现与日常饮用咖啡联系起来。B项“Your Morning Coffee May Flip a Longevity Switch.(你的晨间咖啡可能触发一个长寿开关)”既形象地体现了核心机制(激活AMPK),又关联了咖啡这一日常饮品,准确且吸引人,适合作为标题。故选B项。
D
In a drawing room in rural Oxfordshire, an artist slowly and deliberately puts pen to paper. Her arm moves across the canvas, the marks gradually integrating into a portrait of herself. It seems like a moment of creative expression. But this is no ordinary artist — she is the world’s first humanoid robot artist, Ai-Da. By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it.
Will AI algorithms (算法) and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry, or can they strengthen our own creative potential? When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (小便池) be considered art, he flipped the art world on its head. In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world, because both are controversial and contain objects that haven’t technically been created by an “artist’s” hand.
Someone argues that a humanoid artist like Ai-Da represents society’s current fears — the rise of job-stealing AI algorithms and potential robot domination. But technological revolutions like artificial intelligence don’t necessarily mean the “end of art” as many fear. Instead, they can help to kick start an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity.
However, questions of authorship haunt the artificial intelligence story. Artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst co-founded Spawning AI, which aimed at empowering human creators to prohibit AI from using their works. But there are also artists who see AI as a new outlet for their own creativity. Some artists are now even training algorithms in an attempt to push their own creative boundaries.
It’s clear that AI algorithms and machines like Ai-Da are having an impact on the art world. Their works are exhibited alongside more traditional forms of art worldwide. Next year we’ll see the world’s first AI art gallery open its doors in LA. Eva Jager, the creative AI lead, is also helping to bring AI art to the masses, with a programme of exhibitions leading to a critical discussion about the impact of technology on art. She sees the cooperation between human and machine as a space for real creative potential.
27. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Overturned the art standards. B. Controlled the art world.
C. Broadened artists’ horizons. D. Recognized artists’ wisdom.
28. What influence may Ai-Da generate on the art world?
A. It may change the origin of art. B. It may replace human artists soon.
C. It may boost human creativity. D. It may help artists protect their works.

【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When Marcel Duchamp proposed that a urinal (小便池) be considered art, he flipped the art world on its head. In much the same way, AI-created artworks are changing the standards of the art world(当马塞尔·杜尚提出将一个小便池视为艺术时,他flipped the art world on its head。以同样的方式,人工智能创作的艺术品正在改变艺术世界的标准)”可知,马塞尔·杜尚提出将小便池视为艺术,这一行为颠覆了艺术界,即“颠覆了艺术标准”。故选A。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, they can help to kick start an artistic transformation and move us towards different ways of seeing and creating. “AI might kick us into being creative again as humans,” says mathematician du Sautoy, who sees it as a powerful partner in the pursuit of human creativity.(相反,它们可以帮助启动一场艺术变革,并推动我们走向不同的观察和创造方式。数学家杜·索托伊说:“人工智能可能会让我们重新变得有创造力。”他认为人工智能是人类追求创造力的强大伙伴。)”可知,Ai-Da可能会激发人类的创造力。故选C。

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“By design, her very existence brings into question how we define art, and who, or in this case, what, can create it.(从设计上讲,她的存在本身就引发了一个问题:我们如何定义艺术,以及谁,或者在这种情况下,什么可以创造艺术。)”以及第二段中“Will AI algorithms (算法) and robots like Ai-Da mean the end of human creativity and artistry, or can they strengthen our own creative potential?(像Ai-Da这样的人工智能算法和机器人是否意味着人类创造力和艺术性的终结,还是它们能增强我们自身的创造力?)”以及最后一段中“It’s clear that AI algorithms and machines like Ai-Da are having an impact on the art world.(很明显,像Ai-Da这样的人工智能算法和机器正在对艺术界产生影响。)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是探讨人工智能对艺术定义和创造力的影响。故选C。

空前“Ideally, packing snacks for your travels helps save money and reduce waste.(理想情况下,为你的旅行打包零食有助于省钱和减少浪费。)”提到在理想情况下,自带零食能省钱,减少浪费,这表明是一种理想化的设想,后文“To minimize the impact, consider plastic-free snack alternatives—like nuts, dried fruits, or homemade sandwiches—and pack them in reusable containers. You can also visit local markets for fresh, unpackaged snacks.(为了尽量减少影响,考虑无塑料零食替代品,如坚果、干果或自制三明治,并将它们包装在可重复使用的容器中。你也可以去当地市场买新鲜的、未包装的小吃。)”说明要采取一些措施来减少影响,考虑无塑料零食替代品,暗示实际情况并非如此理想。G选项“However, the reality is that many ready-made options are plastic-wrapped.(然而,现实是许多现成零食都是用塑料包装的)”通过However进行转折,将理想情况和现实情况进行对比,很好地承接了上文理想情况,引出了下文针对现实情况采取的措施。故选G项。

【34题详解】
空前“Many of you already bring reusable bags to the grocery store.(你们中的许多人已经带着可重复使用的袋子去杂货店了。)”提到“很多人已经有日常购物带环保袋的习惯”,后文“Simply extend it to your travels by packing one for souvenirs. This makes it easy to decline plastic bags, making your souvenir shopping a positive experience for the environment.(只要把它扩展到你的旅行,装一个纪念品。这使得减少塑料袋变得很容易,使你的纪念品购物成为一种积极的环境体验。)”建议“将这个习惯延伸到旅行中,用环保袋装纪念品”。A选项“You can take the habit a step further.(你可以把这个习惯更进一步。)”起到了承上启下的作用,符合语境。故选A。
【35题详解】
