FLIGHT-FREE CANARIES
The Canary Islands are a rather good travel choice, with daytime temperatures hardly below 22℃ from December to March. This winter, B-Corp rail tour company Byway has started a flight-free package, taking travellers from London to Lanzarote. The trip across the land takes 4-5 days; but an 18-day tour is recommended. The route passes through France and Spain by train, then to Lanzarote by ferry. It is measured that the trip has 78% lower carbon emissions (碳排放)compared with the same journey by plane.
HIKE
There are many mountains in Timanfaya, the island’s only national park, which was formed by 18th-19th century volcanic eruptions (火山喷发). Hikers can take one of two guided trails here.
SEE
Local artist César Manrique shaped the island’s building style. His work can be seen in Jameos del Agua — a cultural centre. Travellers can also visit his home in Haria, where his studio and belongings are on show.
SHOP
Teguise, Lanzarote’s past capital, is famous for its lively Sunday market. Against white buildings and a 15th-century church tower, stall owners sell food, clothing and volcanic rock jewellery.
DO
Find Europe’s first and only underwater museum, Museo Atlantico, in the island’s south west, with figures 39-46ft underwater. There is guided diving for all levels.
Byway’s 18-day tour costs from £2,915 per person.
1. What do we know about Byway’s trip?
A. It includes a direct flight to Lanzarote. B. It is friendlier to the environment.
C. It is priced at £2,915 for each person. D. It is a fixed journey lasting for 18 days.

Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing.
And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur (恐龙) free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day? Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information.
The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it (eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories (卡路里) if you could take in paper). Thanks, Randall!
Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If? is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding (膨胀) outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck.
But that’s what makes it great. What If? is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind.
8. What can be found in the book What If?
A. Stories of fun journeys. B. Pictures of the oceans.
C. Latest scientific experiments. D. Discussions of unreal situations.
9. How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book?
A. He offers direct answers. B. He pays no attention.
C. He recommends textbooks. D. He digs into many possibilities.
10. What is Munroe’s writing style like?
A. Formal and detailed. B. Light but confusing.
C Humorous and educational. D. Imaginative but unclear.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What If?: A Collection of Funny Science Jokes
B. What If?: A Scientific Adventure with Munroe
C. What If?: A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits
D. What If?: A Question-based Book about Life
【答案】8 D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】

Imagine you’re at a wedding. You enjoy a beautiful sunset with friends, then go to the bar for drinks. Suddenly, someone pours a large glass of red wine all over your clothes. You feel bad and a little mad.
Years later, perhaps you won’t remember the sunset most clearly — you’ll remember the bad experience. This is due to the “peak-end rule.” Our memories don’t record every detail of an experience. Instead, they focus on two key moments: the strongest feeling part (the “peak”) and the final part (the “end”). How long the event lasted matters less, a phenomenon (现象) known as “duration neglect.” For example, one bite of amazing chocolate is often remembered more vividly than slowly eating a whole bar of ordinary chocolate. The peak moment and the quality of the ending matter more than how long it lasts in shaping our memory.
This idea was clearly shown by psychologist (心理学家) Daniel Kahneman and his team in a well-known experiment. Participants (参与者) went through two trials (试验). In one, they placed a hand in uncomfortably cold water (14℃) for 60 seconds. In the other, they placed the other hand in the same cold water for 60 seconds, but then kept it in for an extra 30 seconds during which the temperature was raised slightly to 15℃ — still cold, but noticeably less so. When later asked which trial they would prefer to repeat, a majority chose the longer one. Despite experiencing discomfort for a longer total time, the memory of the trial was less negative because it ended on a slightly less uncomfortable note.
The peak-end rule has been observed in many areas of life, from getting medical treatments to judging customer service. Businesses actively use this understanding. For example, IKEA places affordable treats like hot dogs and ice cream at the exit, aiming to end the shopping journey on a positive peak. Similarly, doctors often give children a small prize like a sticker after a check-up, and vacation planners might save a special activity for the final day.
Understanding this rule helps us to be more careful about designing experiences, whether planning a birthday party, a study schedule, or a community event. By thoughtfully considering where the natural or created peaks might be and how the experience ends, we can shape more positive and lasting memories for ourselves and others.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. It argues that our memories are usually wrong.
B. It explains the peak-end rule and how it works.
C. It gives advice on how to remember things better.
D. It describes how people remember food experiences.
13. Why did most participants choose the longer trial in the experiment?
A. They were left with a more positive impression.
B. They forgot about the unpleasant experiences.
C. They preferred much higher water temperature.
D. They experienced less discomfort in the process.
14. What vacation plan best shows the peak-end rule?
A. Put the most exciting part at the beginning.
B. Arrange low-cost activities during the trip.
C. Have a surprise in store for the final day.
D. Avoid unpleasant activities in the schedule.
15. What is the author’s view on the peak-end rule?
A. It is a useful tool for business design.
B. It reduces memories of painful events.
C. It makes experiences more enjoyable.
D. It helps overcome negative situations.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过日常案例和心理学实验,解释了“峰终定律”如何影响人们对体验的记忆,并举例说明了该定律在商业和生活中的应用价值。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“This is due to the “peak-end rule.” Our memories don’t record every detail of an experience. Instead, they focus on two key moments: the strongest feeling part (the “peak”) and the final part (the “end”). How long the event lasted matters less, a phenomenon (现象) known as “duration neglect.” For example, one bite of amazing chocolate is often remembered more vividly than slowly eating a whole bar of ordinary chocolate. The peak moment and the quality of the ending matter more than how long it lasts in shaping our memory. (这是由于“峰终定律”所致。我们的记忆并不会记录经历的每一个细节。相反,它们会聚焦于两个关键时刻:最强烈的感受部分(即“高峰”)和最后的部分(即“终点”)。事件持续的时间并不那么重要,这种现象被称为“持续时间忽视”。例如,一次美味巧克力的短暂品尝往往比慢慢享用一整块普通巧克力的记忆更为深刻。高峰时刻和终点时的品质比其持续时间在塑造我们的记忆方面更为重要。)”可知,该段详细说明了“峰终定律”的定义,并以品尝巧克力为例解释这一定律如何运作,即主要解释了“峰终定律”及其运作方式。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite experiencing discomfort for a longer total time, the memory of the trial was less negative because it ended on a slightly less uncomfortable note. (尽管总体经历了更长时间的不适,但对这次试验的记忆负面感更弱,因为它以稍轻微的不适感结束。)”可知,大多数参与者选择时间更长的试验,是因为他们留下了更积极的印象。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The peak moment and the quality of the ending matter more than how long it lasts in shaping our memory.(在塑造我们的记忆方面,巅峰时刻和结局的质量比它持续多久更重要)”以及第四段中“Similarly, doctors often give children a small prize like a sticker after a check-up, and vacation planners might save a special activity for the final day. (同样,医生经常在检查后给孩子们一个小奖品,比如贴纸,度假规划者可能会在最后一天安排一项特别的活动)”可知,“峰终定律”强调结尾体验对记忆的关键影响,将惊喜安排在假期最后一天,可创造积极的“终值”,从而提升整体记忆,最能体现该定律。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Businesses actively use this understanding. For example, IKEA places affordable treats like hot dogs and ice cream at the exit, aiming to end the shopping journey on a positive peak. Similarly, doctors often give children a small prize like a sticker after a check-up, and vacation planners might save a special activity for the final day. (企业会积极利用这种认知。例如,宜家会在出口处摆放价格实惠的美食,如热狗和冰淇淋,旨在让购物之旅在积极的高潮中结束。)”可知,作者用宜家的案例说明该定律的应用价值。由此推知,作者的观点是“峰终定律”是商业设计的有用工具。故选A项。

On farms all over the country, even the most traditional ones, thought is being given to the possibilities of AI. For the moment, artificial intelligence isn’t making much of an impact on the daily lives of most British farmers. But the way AI can change agriculture in the near future is very much a reality in universities and research labs. My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically (自动化) monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and keep a record of its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness.
Meanwhile, in my home county, work is underway to ensure that the upcoming generation of farmers isn’t left behind. In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns. This would have sounded like science fiction in the 1950s, but now, 70 years on, I’m encouraged that tomorrow’s farmers are being armed with the know-how to succeed in the new digital age.
Naturally, there are concerns about what all this might mean for the countless number of people who depend on farming for their livelihood (生计). Soft fruit and seasonal vegetables are extremely tender and need an army of pickers and packers who may find themselves replaced at some point by the sort of standard precision-robots that have been trialled (试用) on a strawberry farm.
In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labor gap. It’s worth saying that this technology will need a whole new set of workers to produce the hardware, input new data and then install (安装), maintain, repair and replace systems and kit. So don’t lose hope but do consider upskilling (技能提升).
Since the Industrial Revolution, every generation of farmers has had to deal with the technological changes of the day and they have successfully adapted to survive. Who knows! AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be accepted by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing.
16. What did the author discover during his visit to the lab?
A. AI has made automation a reality in the dairy industry.
B. AI has helped most British farmers to closely monitor cows.
C. AI is being developed to improve cow health through behavior analysis.
D. AI is primarily being used to change universities and labs across Britain.
17. What is the focus of the course in Agricultural Technology at the RAU?
A. The role of traditional methods in increasing crop productivity.
B. The development of AI in agricultural practices in the UK.
C. The ways climate change affects global food security.
D. The impact of AI on improving farming efficiency and productivity.
18. What can be inferred about the introduction of AI in agriculture from the third and the fourth paragraphs?
A. It will lead to widespread unemployment.
B. It may help address the labor shortage issue.
C. It will remove the need for human labor completely.
D. It doesn’t affect the nature of seasonal workers.
19. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in agriculture?
A. Optimistic. B. Distrustful. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. A

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了11岁女孩Emi Kim因注意到学校图书馆缺乏代表多元群体的书籍而发起项目——the Mirror Books Project,通过募捐购买并捐赠相关书籍,以促进包容和文化理解的故事。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Noticing that her school library had few books featuring characters who looked like her, 11-year- old Emi Kim decided to make a change by launching the Mirror Books Project.(11岁的埃米·金注意到学校图书馆里几乎没有像她这样的人物形象的书籍,于是她决定做出改变,发起“镜像图书项目”)”以及后文“With the money, she bought and donated books that reflect a wider range of people so everyone can feel included.(用这笔钱,她购买并捐赠了一些能够反映更多不同人群的书籍,这样每个人都能感到自己是被接纳和包容的)”可知,空格前介绍了Emi决定做出改变,空格后提到“用这笔钱,她购买并捐赠了书籍”。因此,空格处需要说明资金的来源。选项F“She started to organize bake sales and lemonade stands to raise money. (她开始组织烘焙义卖和柠檬水摊位来筹款)”解释了募捐方式,连接了“决定改变”和“用钱买书”这两个动作,构成了一个完整的行动链条。故F选项正确。
【21题详解】
空格前一句“She sees books as bridges.(她把书视为桥梁)”提出她将书籍视为桥梁,空格处需要具体解释书籍如何起到桥梁作用。选项G“They are an accessible way to “meet” new people and learn about cultures.(它们是“结识”新朋友和了解文化的一种便捷方式)”中,“They”指代书籍 “accessible way”对应“桥梁”的比喻,具体阐述了书籍连接不同人群和文化的作用,是对前句观点的阐释。故G选项正确。
【22题详解】
根据上文“Her efforts have already brought impressive results. The first fundraiser brought in $762, allowing Emi to purchase 15 books for five local schools. These selections highlighted stories by and about Pacific Islanders, Asian Americans, African Americans, Indigenous peoples, and Latino and Hispanic Americans.(她的努力已经取得了显著的成果。首次募捐活动筹集到了762美元,使埃米能够为当地五所学校购买了15本书。这些选书涵盖了太平洋岛民、亚裔美国人、非裔美国人、原住民以及拉丁裔和西班牙裔美国人的故事)”以及后文“Then a second fundraiser raised over $3,000. With those funds, Emi acquired 21 books focused on children with disabilities and varied family structures, donating sets to 12 different schools.(随后,又有一场募捐活动筹得了超过3000美元。用这笔资金,埃米购买了21本关于残疾儿童以及不同家庭结构的书籍,并将这些书籍的整套内容捐赠给了12所不同的学校)”可知,空格前描述了第一次筹款的成功及其成果。空格后以“Then”开头,介绍了第二次筹款获得了更多资金。因此,空格处应起到承上启下的作用,说明第一次成功如何引出了后续更大的行动。选项C “The first success inspired Emi to make an even greater impact. (第一次的成功激励了Emi去产生更大的影响)”恰好总结了上文,并引出了下文的进一步行动,逻辑连贯。故C选项正确。
【23题详解】
根据后文“Emi spends hours reading in the library and watching online storytelling videos. This careful research helps her discover many meaningful stories. Among her favorites is Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, a story about an Asian girl learning to love the unique shape of her eyes. Another is A Kind of Spark, whose neurodivergent protagonist resonates deeply with Emi.(埃米会在图书馆里花费大量时间阅读书籍,并观看在线的故事情节视频。这种细致的研究帮助她发现了许多有意义的故事。她最喜欢的是《眼角轻吻》,这是一个关于一个亚洲女孩学会喜爱自己眼睛独特形状的故事。另一篇是《某种火花》,其大脑功能异于常人的的主人公深深触动了埃米)”可知,该空格位于段落开头,需要一个能概括全段内容的标题。下文详细描述了Emi如何花费大量时间在图书馆阅读、观看在线故事视频,并进行仔细研究以发现有意义的故事,还列举了她最喜欢的书。这一切都围绕如何精心挑选书籍展开。选项A“Choosing suitable books is a thoughtful process. (选择合适的书籍是一个深思熟虑的过程)”概括了本段的核心内容。故A选项正确。
【24题详解】
根据上文““I want every child to find themselves in a story,” Emi said. Her project has already touched hundreds of students, whether it’s a child who finally saw their family in a book, or a classmate who handed her a thank-you card.(埃米说:“我希望每个孩子都能在故事中找到自己的影子。”她的这个项目已经影响了数百名学生,无论是那个终于在书中看到了自己家庭的孩子,还是那位亲手交给她感谢卡的同学)”以及后文“She plans to continue her mission, one book at a time.(她打算继续她的使命,一步一个脚印地完成每一本书的任务)”空格前描述了项目带来的积极影响,包括孩子们在书中找到自己的影子、同学送来感谢卡等具体“时刻”。空格后则提到“她计划继续她的使命”。因此,空格处需要说明这些积极的反馈与她持续投入之间的因果关系。选项E “These moments fuel her commitment to expanding the project’s reach. (这些时刻坚定了她扩大项目影响力的决心)”中,“These moments”指代前文的积极反馈,“fuel her commitment”则解释了为何她后文会“计划继续”,形成了自然的因果衔接。故E选项正确。

FLIGHT-FREE CANARIES
The Canary Islands are a rather good travel choice, with daytime temperatures hardly below 22℃ from December to March. This winter, B-Corp rail tour company Byway has started a flight-free package, taking travellers from London to Lanzarote. The trip across the land takes 4-5 days; but an 18-day tour is recommended. The route passes through France and Spain by train, then to Lanzarote by ferry. It is measured that the trip has 78% lower carbon emissions (碳排放)compared with the same journey by plane.
HIKE
There are many mountains in Timanfaya, the island’s only national park, which was formed by 18th-19th century volcanic eruptions (火山喷发). Hikers can take one of two guided trails here.
SEE
Local artist César Manrique shaped the island’s building style. His work can be seen in Jameos del Agua — a cultural centre. Travellers can also visit his home in Haria, where his studio and belongings are on show.
SHOP
Teguise, Lanzarote’s past capital, is famous for its lively Sunday market. Against white buildings and a 15th-century church tower, stall owners sell food, clothing and volcanic rock jewellery.
DO
Find Europe’s first and only underwater museum, Museo Atlantico, in the island’s south west, with figures 39-46ft underwater. There is guided diving for all levels.
Byway’s 18-day tour costs from £2,915 per person.
1. What do we know about Byway’s trip?
A It includes a direct flight to Lanzarote. B. It is friendlier to the environment.
C. It is priced at £2,915 for each person. D. It is a fixed journey lasting for 18 days.
2. What may travellers do at Teguise’s market?
A. Hike along two guided trails. B. Visit a famous cultural centre.
C. Buy a volcanic rock necklace. D. Dive in the underwater museum.
3. Where are we most likely to read this passage?
A. In a geography book. B. In a travel magazine.
C. In a science textbook. D. In a story collection.
B
17-year-old Zoe Chen has had a strong interest in space exploration since her early childhood. At the age of 8, she watched the launch of China’s Shenzhou spacecraft on TV with her family. The amazing scene of the rocket rising into the deep blue sky deeply touched her, and she immediately made up her mind to devote herself to the field of aerospace (航空航天) science.
Unlike many teenagers of her age who lost themselves in smartphones, computers and video games in their spare time, Zoe spent most weekends visiting local science museums, reading books about astronomy and rocket technology, and even taking detailed notes to figure out key knowledge and ask her science teacher for professional advice.
To realize her dream, Zoe worked very hard at school every day. She focused on improving her grades in physics and mathematics, which are indispensable for aerospace research. She also joined her school’s science club, where she worked closely with teammates to do small experiments, repeatedly adjusting (调整) experimental factors and solving unexpected problems to get valuable practical experience.
In 2024 she and her team spent three months carefully designing a model rocket that could reach 500 meters, getting over difficulties such as material shortages and structural defects (结构性缺陷), finally winning first prize in a national youth science competition. Her design was highly praised by judges for its creativity and practicality, as it mixed simple and easy-to-get materials with exact structural design.
When asked about her future plans in an interview, Zoe said, “I want to study aerospace engineering in a top college and contribute to China’s space program one day. No dream is too big as long as you keep working hard for it.” Her story not only inspires her classmates to follow their own interests and actively join the school’s science club but also shows that young people can make a real difference with continuous effort and honest devotion to their goals.
4. Why did Zoe decide to study aerospace science?
A. She was a role model of her classmates.
B. She was inspired by Shenzhou’s launch.
C. She aimed to win national science contests.
D. She was encouraged by her science teacher.
5. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 probably means?
A. Unnecessary. B. Difficult. C. Important. D. Interesting.
6. Why did Zoe’s model win the prize in 2024?
A. It could fly as high as 500 meters. B. It brought fresh ideas to rocket design.
C. It combines new and old materials. D. It solves problems in operating rockets.
7. What can we learn from Zoe’s story?
A. Devotion as well as luck helps to live one’s dreams.
B. Building dreams requires spare time and energy.
C. Continuous hard work is key to achieving dreams.
D. Scientific dreams are within reach of talented youths.
C
Randall Munroe, who used to work on robots at NASA, explains science in a fun and easy- to-understand way in his book What If? Once you get used to his unique writing style, you can go on many amazing trips with him and learn while laughing.
And you will certainly learn. There is a sort of joy in getting real answers to the strange questions Munroe is sent every day. However unusual the topics are, Randall takes them seriously. For example, if you set a meat-eating dinosaur (恐龙) free in New York City, how many humans would it have to eat to meet its need each day? Munroe thinks New York could support about 350 dinosaurs. That’s good to know, but we hope we don’t need to use this information.
The book’s cover is a full-size picture of what the Earth would look like if the oceans were removed. The back has some interesting facts you might want to know before buying it (eating the book would give you about 2,300 calories (卡路里) if you could take in paper). Thanks, Randall!
Although Munroe knows a lot and can perfectly explain the science behind the questions, What If? is not a textbook. When asked what would happen when you threw a baseball at light-speed, he says there would be a shockwave expanding (膨胀) outwards, and quickly moves on. He is answering the question after all, but if you are looking for detailed classroom- style descriptions of what Munroe is talking about, you’re out of luck.
But that’s what makes it great. What If? is light enough to attract you, but deep enough to make you curious about science one chapter at a time. If you’re willing to go along with Munroe’s ideas and guesses, you’re in for an exciting journey of the mind.
8. What can be found in the book What If?
A. Stories of fun journeys. B. Pictures of the oceans.
C. Latest scientific experiments. D. Discussions of unreal situations.
9. How does Munroe deal with the questions in his book?
A. He offers direct answers. B. He pays no attention.
C. He recommends textbooks. D. He digs into many possibilities.
10. What is Munroe’s writing style like?
A. Formal and detailed. B. Light but confusing.
C. Humorous and educational. D. Imaginative but unclear.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What If?: A Collection of Funny Science Jokes
B. What If?: A Scientific Adventure with Munroe
C. What If?: A Guidebook on Healthy Eating Habits
D. What If?: A Question-based Book about Life
D
Imagine you’re at a wedding. You enjoy a beautiful sunset with friends, then go to the bar for drinks. Suddenly, someone pours a large glass of red wine all over your clothes. You feel bad and a little mad.
Years later, perhaps you won’t remember the sunset most clearly — you’ll remember the bad experience. This is due to the “peak-end rule.” Our memories don’t record every detail of an experience. Instead, they focus on two key moments: the strongest feeling part (the “peak”) and the final part (the “end”). How long the event lasted matters less, a phenomenon (现象) known as “duration neglect.” For example, one bite of amazing chocolate is often remembered more vividly than slowly eating a whole bar of ordinary chocolate. The peak moment and the quality of the ending matter more than how long it lasts in shaping our memory.
This idea was clearly shown by psychologist (心理学家) Daniel Kahneman and his team in a well-known experiment. Participants (参与者) went through two trials (试验). In one, they placed a hand in uncomfortably cold water (14℃) for 60 seconds. In the other, they placed the other hand in the same cold water for 60 seconds, but then kept it in for an extra 30 seconds during which the temperature was raised slightly to 15℃ — still cold, but noticeably less so. When later asked which trial they would prefer to repeat, a majority chose the longer one. Despite experiencing discomfort for a longer total time, the memory of the trial was less negative because it ended on a slightly less uncomfortable note.
The peak-end rule has been observed in many areas of life, from getting medical treatments to judging customer service. Businesses actively use this understanding. For example, IKEA places affordable treats like hot dogs and ice cream at the exit, aiming to end the shopping journey on a positive peak. Similarly, doctors often give children a small prize like a sticker after a check-up, and vacation planners might save a special activity for the final day.
Understanding this rule helps us to be more careful about designing experiences, whether planning a birthday party, a study schedule, or a community event. By thoughtfully considering where the natural or created peaks might be and how the experience ends, we can shape more positive and lasting memories for ourselves and others.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. It argues that our memories are usually wrong.
B. It explains the peak-end rule and how it works.
C. It gives advice on how to remember things better.
D. It describes how people remember food experiences.
13. Why did most participants choose the longer trial in the experiment?
A. They were left with a more positive impression.
B. They forgot about the unpleasant experiences.
C. They preferred much higher water temperature.
D. They experienced less discomfort in the process.
14. What vacation plan best shows the peak-end rule?
A. Put the most exciting part at the beginning.
B. Arrange low-cost activities during the trip.
C. Have a surprise in store for the final day.
D. Avoid unpleasant activities in the schedule.
15. What is the author’s view on the peak-end rule?
A. It is a useful tool for business design.
B. It reduces memories of painful events.
C. It makes experiences more enjoyable.
D. It helps overcome negative situations.
E
On farms all over the country, even the most traditional ones, thought is being given to the possibilities of AI. For the moment, artificial intelligence isn’t making much of an impact on the daily lives of most British farmers. But the way AI can change agriculture in the near future is very much a reality in universities and research labs. My eyes were opened to the possibilities on a visit to a lab where cows were being automatically (自动化) monitored in an innovative ‘smart’ dairy. AI was learning to recognize each individual cow and keep a record of its behavior. It then analyzed the data to warn of any signs of illness.
Meanwhile, in my home county, work is underway to ensure that the upcoming generation of farmers isn’t left behind. In a few weeks’ time, newly arrived students at the Royal Agricultural University (RAU) will start their course in Agricultural Technology, at the heart of which is AI’s role in making farming more effective, productive and adaptive in a world of changing weather patterns. This would have sounded like science fiction in the 1950s, but now, 70 years on, I’m encouraged that tomorrow’s farmers are being armed with the know-how to succeed in the new digital age.
Naturally, there are concerns about what all this might mean for the countless number of people who depend on farming for their livelihood (生计). Soft fruit and seasonal vegetables are extremely tender and need an army of pickers and packers who may find themselves replaced at some point by the sort of standard precision-robots that have been trialled (试用) on a strawberry farm.
In recent years many places have struggled to employ and keep seasonal workers, so rather than create unemployment, AI might just provide the answer to a worrying labor gap. It’s worth saying that this technology will need a whole new set of workers to produce the hardware, input new data and then install (安装), maintain, repair and replace systems and kit. So don’t lose hope but do consider upskilling (技能提升).
Since the Industrial Revolution, every generation of farmers has had to deal with the technological changes of the day and they have successfully adapted to survive. Who knows! AI may well turn out to be just the latest in a long line of challenges to be accepted by adaptable and spirited farmers. And anything that saves me the worry of checking the weather forecast day and night during harvest season must be a good thing.
16. What did the author discover during his visit to the lab?
A. AI has made automation a reality in the dairy industry.
B. AI has helped most British farmers to closely monitor cows.
C. AI is being developed to improve cow health through behavior analysis.
D. AI is primarily being used to change universities and labs across Britain.
17. What is the focus of the course in Agricultural Technology at the RAU?
A. The role of traditional methods in increasing crop productivity.
B. The development of AI in agricultural practices in the UK.
C. The ways climate change affects global food security.
D. The impact of AI on improving farming efficiency and productivity.
18. What can be inferred about the introduction of AI in agriculture from the third and the fourth paragraphs?
A. It will lead to widespread unemployment.
B. It may help address the labor shortage issue.
C. It will remove the need for human labor completely.
D. It doesn’t affect the nature of seasonal workers.
19. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in agriculture?
A. Optimistic. B. Distrustful. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
