Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter.
He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.”
Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white.
It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession.
Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.
4. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Strengthened. B. Assessed. C. Challenged. D. Reduced.
5. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning?
A. He took no passion for being a presenter.
B. He feared to stand in front of the camera.
C. He lacked confidence because of his color.
D. He obtained little support from his parents.
6. Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands?
A. It led to a life-long friendship.
B. It enriched his life experience.
C. It refined his photography skills.
D. It started his own career journey.
7. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience?
A. Great minds think alike. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了野生动物摄影师Hamza Yassin的成长故事。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句后文“But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.(但真正让我对野生动物cemented热爱的是英国。乍一看,这里似乎没有很多野生动物,尤其是在冬天。但如果你剥开表层,就会发现有很多。)”可知,正是在英国,作者对野生动物增强了热爱,培养了这一兴趣。从而推知划线部分意思是“加强”。故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white.(他从未在镜头前见过像他这样的人。他不是一个白人青少年。)”可知,Hamza一开始不认为自己可以成为一名电视节目主持人是因为他因为肤色而缺乏自信。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“ It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. (直到他成为不可思议的野生动物摄影师Jesse Wilkinson的助手后,他才意识到他需要创造自己的旅程。21岁时,他和朋友去苏格兰高地旅行。)”以及文中描述他的高地经历可以推知,作者提到高地之旅是为了说明他是从这次旅行开始自己的职业旅程的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” (在那段时间里,他作为一名野生动物摄影师初试身手——他下定决心,他不会夹着尾巴回到Northampton,对他的父母说:“我被打败了。”)”和最后一段“Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.(最终,Hamza成为了一名著名的野生动物摄影师,激励着其他人去追求自己的梦想,而不管他们的背景如何。)”可知,我们能从Hamza的经历中明白:有志者事竟成。故选D项。
C
While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.
A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.
Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out.
Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice.
Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”
8. What can we learn about artful thinking?
A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains.
C. It prevents us from over-relying on AI. D. It helps promote high-tech machinery.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Benefits of artful intelligence. B. Mind-body awareness in thinking.
C. Significance of being mindful. D. Social interaction through movements.
10. What does the author suggest we do in the AI-filled world?
A. Enhance the flexibility of attention. B. Adapt to the rise of AI.
C. Avoid the interruptions from Big Tech. D. Improve the levels of focus.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Artful Thinking Advances Big Tech B. Too Much Trust in AI Harms Our Minds
C. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在AI时代正念思维对保持人性的重要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.(巧妙思考的哲学是避免这种情况的好方法。巧妙思考意味着不仅要用大脑,还要用手、眼睛、耳朵以及情感来解决问题。这种方法利用了我们身体中分布但常常未被利用的认知资源)”可知,巧妙思考能防止我们过度依赖人工智能。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world.(改变我们的思维方式是一项艰苦的工作。它始于正念练习。获取巧妙智慧需要留意我们如何用身体思考,如何用四肢、器官和情感来理解世界)”可知,第三段主要讲了思考中的身心意识。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus.(如果你想在这个充满人工智能的世界中找到更多的自由,提高你自觉地在不同物体或注意力层次之间转移注意力的能力)”可推知,作者建议我们在充满人工智能的世界里增强注意力的灵活性。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”(巧妙思考需要努力保持正念,以确保我们所做的,以及我们希望通过使用这些技术工具实现的目标,不会削弱我们的人性。正如一行禅师所说:“正念生活是一门艺术,我们每个人都必须训练成为艺术家。”)”结合全文内容可知,文章主要论述了在人工智能时代,保持正念的重要性,它能让我们保持人性,不被技术所吞噬。D选项“正念让我们在人工智能时代保持人性”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and connect those facts meaningfully.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification (海洋酸化) on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge to explaining the biological phenomena. These findings highlight that a big gap remains between what students learn in their science courses and how well prepared they are to apply that information.
The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (科学素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
12. What does the existing science education fail to do according to the research?
A. Extend students’ theoretical knowledge.
B. Engage students in more outdoor activities.
C. Encourage students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Teach students to make connections among different subjects.
13. What can we learn about the student interviewees in the first step of study?
A. They have rich academic knowledge.
B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science.
D. They fully understand their major’s importance.
14. The activity about ocean acidification expects students to ________.
A. analyse the exact composition of sea water
B. study some unusual phenomena under the sea
C. come up with practical methods to protect sea life
D. explain the effects of carbon dioxide on sea creatures
15. What does the author see from the result of the study according to the last paragraph?
A. The need to connect chemistry with other science subjects.
B. The difficulties of fostering cross-disciplinary abilities.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项关于大学生在科学课程中学习情况的研究,详细阐述了当前科学教学方法存在的问题,以及为解决这些问题而设计的跨学科活动。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and connect those facts meaningfully.(尽管理科专业的学生为毕业付出了诸多努力,但研究表明,大多数大学理科课程只让学生对基础科学概念形成碎片化的理解。这种教学方法虽能提高对孤立知识点的记忆,按课本章节逐章推进,却未必在章节间建立联系,而非教会学生如何运用信息、有意义地整合知识点)”可知,现有科学教育没能教学生建立不同学科间的联系。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.(首先,我们采访了28名主修科学或工程专业的大一学生。他们都修过化学导论和生物学导论课程。我们让他们梳理这些课程的内容,以及他们认为每门课的核心要点是什么。学生们列出了一长串在课堂上学到的主题、概念和技能)”可知,受访学生具备丰富的理论知识。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters.(在这项研究中,学生们被要求运用基础化学知识,来解释海水中二氧化碳浓度上升是如何影响珊瑚、蛤蜊、牡蛎等构建外壳的海洋生物的)”可知,该活动期望学生解释二氧化碳对海洋生物的影响。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (科学素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.(建立这些联系的能力在课堂之外也很重要,因为这是科学素养的基础。所以我们也得出证据:我们的化学专业学生至少希望拥有对科学进行更深入理解的能力,以及学会如何应用科学的能力)”可知,作者看到了提升学生科学素养的潜力。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You’re standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator. You have no more than a minute to kill. And yet, before you’ve even realized what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps.
____16____ Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds.
Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. ____17____
A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm. ____18____ Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. ____19____ When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.
If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. ____20____ For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task.
A. Checking your phone is often automatic.
B. There's also a mental-health element to consider.
C. Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves.
D. Start going without your phone for set periods of time.
E. The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief.
F. Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior.
G. But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. G 19. B 20. F
【解析】

For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it.(研究表明,很多人都会做同样的事情。只有11%的人查看智能手机是为了回应通知。在其他时间里,他们完全没有计划地查看手机,通常也没有想过自己为什么这么做)”可知,本段主要将看手机是无意识的。故A选项“查看手机通常是无意识的”切题,适合为本段的标题。故选A项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want.(我们的大脑天生就会寻求知识、娱乐和社会联系等奖励。在我们指尖上有微型电脑之前,所有这些东西都很难找到。现在我们知道了。我们的手机基本上是我们大脑的自助餐,没完没了地、轻松地提供它们想要的东西)”可知,选项承接上文总结大脑的自我功能。故C选项“当然,我们的大脑会情不自禁地养活自己”切题。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm.(快速查看一下电话可能不会对你的大脑造成任何真正的伤害)”根据下文“Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive.(随着时间的推移,如果你在走路或开车的时候看手机,持续的滚动屏幕可能会对你的工作表现、人际关系、睡眠甚至人身安全产生负面影响)”可知,选项与上文为转折关系且承接下文说明量的积累会产生负面的影响。故G选项“但同样值得考虑的是,所有这些小的查看加起来是多少”切题。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.(当你屈服于你的欲望,查看你的手机,然后感到内疚,失败的感觉增加了伤害的羞耻)”可知,选项承接下文说明另一个考虑因素是心理健康。故B选项“还有一个心理健康因素需要考虑”切题。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task.(例如,下次当你发现自己在浏览短视频时,甚至没有吸收内容,想想你是真想玩手机,还是你只是在推迟一个不那么有趣的任务)”可知,下文通过具体实例说明上文要反思自己的行为。故F选项“花点时间问问自己是什么驱使着你的行为”切题,与下文话题一致。故选F项。

However, when I got back from that job interview, I made the first step toward dealing with life with a disability —____26____. From my doctor, I learned that glasses wouldn’t ____27____ and that I would never be allowed to drive. Each new detail felt like a fresh blow. For the first time, I ____28____ my official diagnosis (诊断) — visual disability. To my surprise, I was filled with ____29____.
The next step was ____30____ the independence I’d developed over the years. I had to learn to ask for help, something I’d always avoided.
As I started reaching out for help, the love and support of my friends moved me. They ____31____ my confidence so that I no longer felt ____32____ to ask for assistance: When I asked strangers to help read cafe menus or cross the road, I was surprised at how kind they were.
Today, I’m much more confident than ever. Though my vision can’t be changed, I treat every ____33____ as a new challenge. I speak up when something isn’t ____34____ and ask for adjustments.

Does Takeaway Exist in Ancient China?
As early as in the Song Dynasty, “takeout” services were already available. In Zhang Zcduan's popular painting Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, there is a restaurant boy who has just come out of the shop with “to-go boxes” in his left hand and tableware (餐具) in his right, still ____36____ (wear) the shop apron and seeming to deliver the food somewhere. That image ____37____ (believe) to be a reflection of the original takeaway boy.
In ancient times, there were three ways to order food. The first is servant order. Send a family retainer (仆人) to go to a restaurant and make ____38____ order. When the food is ready, there is someone who ____39____ (particular) delivers the food to the customer's home, and then gets paid. The second is agreed delivery. Sign a long-term ____40____ (agree) with the restaurant. The store,____41____every agreed day, will pack the food well and send it to the customer's home. The last one is door-to-door selling.

【答案】36. wearing
37. is believed 38. an
39. particularly
40. agreement 41. on
42. which 43. consists
44. used 45. to keep
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代是否有外卖,在古代是存在外卖现象的。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有一个餐馆服务员刚从商店里走出来,左手拿着外带的盒子,右手拿着餐具,仍然穿着商店的围裙,似乎要把食物送到某个地方。分析句子可知,设空处是作句子的状语,因此所给动词使用非谓语动词形式,逻辑主语boy与wear之间是主动关系,因此使用现在分词作伴随状语。故填wearing。
【37题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:这张照片被认为是原来那个外卖男孩的写照。根据语境可知,应该是“现在被认为”,因此使用一般现在时的被动语态be done。主语为that image,用is believed。故填is believed。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:派一个家仆去餐馆点菜。make an order订购,预定,是固定短语。故填an。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:当食物准备好了,有一个人专门把食物送到顾客家里,然后得到报酬。设空处是修饰动词deliver,因此用所给词的副词形式。故填particularly。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:与餐厅签订一份长期协议。作动词sign的宾语需用名词形式。故填agreement。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:在每一个约定的日子,商店都会把食物包装好,送到顾客家里。根据句意可知,此处是表达“在每一个约定的日子”,指具体某一天使用介词on。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:餐馆的小贩挨家挨户地推销食物,特别是在像剧院这样的娱乐场所,那里挤满了人。本句是非限制性定语从句,先行词为theater,指物,从句中缺少主语,因此使用which引导,that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:外卖盒,温盘,由两层瓷制成。分析句子可知,设空处作句子的谓语,主语 wenpan与consist之间是主动关系,因此使用主动语态。因为叙述得是事实,并结合语境,应使用一般现在时。故填consists。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:使用时,热水注入盘子的夹层,以保持盘子的温度。根据句意可知,温盘是被使用,when后的从句使用了状语从句的省略,在状语从句中当从句的主语是it且含be的时候,常省去it be。故填used。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:使用时,热水注入盘子的夹层,以保持盘子的温度。分析句子可知,设空处是作句子的目的状语,用不定式形式。故填to keep。

Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Dear Edric,
How are things going?
Our school held a wonderful debate last week with the theme “Studying Abroad: Is It a Good or Bad Idea?” I spoke for the supporting side.
In my opinion, studying abroad is really beneficial. Firstly, it allows us to experience different cultures and broaden our horizons greatly. Secondly, living alone in a foreign country helps us become more independent and learn to solve problems by ourselves. Besides, we can improve our foreign language skills quickly in a real language environment.
The debate was very meaningful. What do you think of studying abroad? I’m looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua

Born in Sudan in 1990, Hamza Yassin is a wildlife cameraman and TV presenter.
He was eight when they landed in the UK. Besides the changes in climate, he also had to adjust to the change in pets: “Where’s everyone’s pet lions and monkeys? It was all cats and dogs. I hadn’t realised what a special upbringing I had had. But it was the UK that cemented my love of wildlife. At first glance, it doesn’t look like there is a lot of wildlife, especially in the winter. But if you peel back the layers, there is so much.”
Though his doctor parents didn’t have time to closely teach him, they did turn on the television; in particular, the Discovery Channel. David Attenborough’s The Life of Birds was an eye-opening experience, and Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration, too. While he thought they had cool jobs, he never thought he could be a presenter. He never saw anyone like him in front of the camera. He was a teenager who wasn’t white.
It was still a long road to establishing his career, though. It was not until after he became an assistant for the incredible wildlife cameraman Jesse Wilkinson that he realized he needed to create his own journey. When he was21, he traveled with friends to the Highlands. Two weeks later, he was back there for good. He told his parents he was living in a beautiful cottage. The truth was that he was living in his car, just trying to make ends meet. He parked at the local ferry terminal but lived there happily for nine months, doing odd jobs — cutting grass, and moving furniture to earn enough money to survive. During that time, he was cutting his teeth as a wildlife cameraman — he was determined that he wouldn’t go back to Northampton with his tail between his legs and say to his parents: “I’ve been defeated.” Luckily, everything paid off. That experience taught him everything he needed to know about the profession.
Eventually, Hamza became a renowned wildlife cameraman, inspiring others to pursue their dreams regardless of their background.
4. What does the underlined word “cemented” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Strengthened. B. Assessed. C. Challenged. D. Reduced.
5. Why didn’t Hamza think he could be a TV presenter at the beginning?
A. He took no passion for being a presenter.
B. He feared to stand in front of the camera.
C. He lacked confidence because of his color.
D. He obtained little support from his parents.
6. Why does the author mention Hamza’s trip to the Highlands?
A. It led to a life-long friendship.
B. It enriched his life experience.
C. It refined his photography skills.
D. It started his own career journey.
7. What can we learn from Hamza’s experience?
A. Great minds think alike. B. Strike while the iron is hot.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
C
While we race into a future where we outsource most of our problem-solving to artificial intelligence, the greatest threat is not super intelligent machinery. It’s mindlessly putting too much trust in Big Tech and not enough trust in the power of our own minds.
A philosophy of artful thinking is a good way to avoid this. To think artfully means to solve problems using not just our brains, but also our hands, eyes, and ears, along with our emotions. This approach taps into the cognitive (认知的) resources that are spread throughout our bodies but often go unused.
Changing how we think is hard work. And it starts with a mindfulness practice. Accessing artful intelligence requires being mindful of how we think with our body, how we use our limbs (四肢), organs, and emotions to make sense of the world. Be mindful of all the different messages your body is sending you as well as the different roles and functions your bodily actions can play. For example, gesturing (做手势) in conversations is not just communicative. These movements often help the speaker to smooth out their thought process and assist in getting the words out.
Today, Big Tech is pushing a message of artificial-intelligence craziness and fear. What makes you stuck in it? It’s seeing the same things wherever you look. Big Tech gives you screens, hoping that your attention will always be attracted by their devices. If you want to find more freedom in this AI-filled world, improve your ability to mindfully shift your attention between different objects or levels of focus. Remember everything is born of a choice.
Artful thinking demands effortful mindfulness to ensure that what we do, what we hope to achieve by using these technological tools, will not weaken our humanity. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “Mindful living is an art, and each of us has to train to be an artist.”
8. What can we learn about artful thinking?
A. It simplifies problem-solving. B. It focuses on developing our brains.

C. Physical Actions Better Cognitive Functions D. Mindfulness Keeps Us Human in the Age of AI
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and connect those facts meaningfully.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification (海洋酸化) on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge to explaining the biological phenomena. These findings highlight that a big gap remains between what students learn in their science courses and how well prepared they are to apply that information.
The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (科学素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
12. What does the existing science education fail to do according to the research?
A. Extend students’ theoretical knowledge.
B. Engage students in more outdoor activities.
C. Encourage students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Teach students to make connections among different subjects.
13. What can we learn about the student interviewees in the first step of study?
A. They have rich academic knowledge.
B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science.
D. They fully understand their major’s importance.
14. The activity about ocean acidification expects students to ________.
A. analyse the exact composition of sea water
B. study some unusual phenomena under the sea
C. come up with practical methods to protect sea life
D. explain the effects of carbon dioxide on sea creatures
15. What does the author see from the result of the study according to the last paragraph?
A. The need to connect chemistry with other science subjects.
B. The difficulties of fostering cross-disciplinary abilities.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You’re standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator. You have no more than a minute to kill. And yet, before you’ve even realized what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps.
____16____ Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds.
Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. ____17____
A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm. ____18____ Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. ____19____ When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury.
If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. ____20____ For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task.
A. Checking your phone is often automatic.
B. There's also a mental-health element to consider.
C. Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves.
D. Start going without your phone for set periods of time.
E. The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief.
F. Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior.
G. But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up.
