Today, I experienced three impactful acts of kindness that underscored (强调) humility, compassion, and the importance of helping others.
Early in the morning, on my way to work, I noticed a woman in need of a nearby ride. Sensing her urgency and the lack of transport options, I offered her a lift on my bike, brightening her morning and leaving me with a sense of fulfillment.
Later, around 1. a.m. after a night out, my auto rickshaw stalled on a rough speed bump. Feeling frustrated, I hesitated between helping or finding another ride. Unexpectedly, two men in a passing auto noticed our situation and offered assistance, attempting to push our vehicle. Though our auto restarted before they reached us, their willingness to help deeply touched me.
Throughout the journey, the auto driver expressed gratitude for their kindness. Upon reaching my destination, a technical issue prevented my electronic payment. Initially frustrated, I blamed the problem on him, but he patiently suggested it might be on my end and offered to wait until morning. His trust and patience humbled me, and the payment later went through successfully.
Reflecting on these events, I realized how kindness creates a ripple effect. My earlier act of helping the woman seemed to trigger a chain reaction of goodwill. It reinforced the importance of genuine kindness and empathy towards others, not for recognition but as a fundamental expression of humanity.
These experiences reaffirmed my commitment to always extend a helping hand and approach situations with patience and understanding. Today’s acts of kindness illustrated that even small gestures can have a profound impact, highlighting kindness as a virtue that enriches both giver and receiver.
21. What did the narrator do on the way to work?
A. Helping a woman fix her bicycle. B. Giving a woman a ride on the author’s bike.
C. Offering to make a decision for a woman. D. Helping a woman find her lost bike.
22. How did the author initially react when facing a payment issue with the auto rickshaw driver?
A. Blamed the driver. B. Blamed the author’s bank.
C. Offered to pay in cash. D. Offered to pay later.
23. According to the author, why is genuine kindness important?
A. It guarantees recognition and rewards from others.
B. It costs nothing to neither the giver, nor the receiver.
C. It saves one from frustration and technical difficulties.
D. It demonstrates humanity and fosters positive connections.

Shanghai, a novel trend has emerged — grading beverages (饮料) based on their fat and sugar content to aid consumer health choices. Launched in late March, this system categorizes drinks into grades A, B, C, or D, with corresponding recommended consumption levels.
To earn an A grade, a beverage must meet strict criteria: less than 0.5 g of non-dairy sugars, less than 0.75 g of saturated fats, less than 0.3 g of trans fats per 100 ml, and no non-sugar sweeteners. Notably, a regular Coca-Cola rates as a C, while Diet Coke achieves a B.
Zang Jiajie, Director at the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, highlighted how this initiative reflects Shanghai residents’ increasing health awareness. The city’s booming beverage market, now valued over 1 trillion yuan, sees a rising preference for sugar-free and fat-free options, particularly in popular teas.
However, challenges persist due to misleading “free” labels and unclear nutritional information, causing consumer confusion. Recent analyses revealed discrepancies in labeled versus actual sugar content in milk teas, prompting regulatory efforts for clearer labeling and healthier product formulations.
Responding to these concerns, Shanghai introduced regulations urging producers to create low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar products with comprehensive nutritional labeling. A survey indicated strong public support for such measures, emphasizing the importance of clear nutritional information in consumer decision-making.
24. What is the primary purpose of grading beverages in Shanghai?
A. To evaluate their taste and profiles. B. To determine their market value.
C. To help drink-buyers make better choices. D. To categorize based on brand popularity.
25. According to the text, what criteria must a beverage meet to earn an A grade?
A. Low caffeine and low calorie count. B. Low saturated fats and high protein content.
C. High sugar content and no artificial sweeteners. D. Low non-dairy sugars, saturated fats and trans fats.
26. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Differences. B. Secrets. C. Similarities. D. Concepts.
27. How has the Shanghai government responded to concerns about beverage nutrition?
A. By banning sugary beverages altogether.
B. By increasing taxes on high-fat beverages.
C. By promoting local beverage companies over international brands.
D. By introducing regulations for clearer labeling and healthier products.

More than a third of translators believe they have already lost job opportunities to AI, as revealed by a recent survey conducted by the Society of Authors. This survey, involving feedback from over 800 members, highlights significant concerns among creative professionals regarding the impact of emergent technologies.
Despite some members experimenting with generative programs—22% incorporating them into their work and 31% using them for brainstorming—the overall adoption remains cautious. This cautious approach underscores widespread ethical concerns within the community about the quality and integrity of AI-generated content.
The survey also confirms that AI is beginning to affect livelihoods, with 36% of translators and 26% of illustrators reporting job losses due to generative AI. Moreover, 43% of translators and 37% of illustrators have seen reduced income attributed to these technologies, indicating tangible economic impacts.
Beyond economic considerations, there is a prevailing worry (86% of respondents) that AI could devalue human creativity, citing issues such as bias, inaccuracies in content, copyright infringement (专利侵权), and misuse of personal data. Consequently, there is strong advocacy (94% of respondents) for receiving credit and compensation when their work is used by AI, and an overwhelming demand (97%) for transparency when AI is involved in content creation.
In response to these concerns, there is broad consensus (95%) among respondents that governments should introduce regulations to enforce ethical standards in AI use, ensuring consent, compensation, and transparency.
Despite these calls for regulation and ethical guidelines, there is skepticism about governmental effectiveness in managing AI’s impact on creative industries. The survey concludes that collective action and grassroots efforts, as well as law support may be necessary to address these challenges effectively.
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. A third of respondents have lost jobs.
B. The majority of the feedback shows little worry.
C. New technologies are causing concerns to writers.
D. Feedbacks are from members of the Society of Authors.
29. According to the survey, what do 94% of respondents demand when their work is used by AI?
A. Recognition and compensation. B. Ethical AI guidelines.
C. Higher job quotas. D. Reduced use of AI tools.
30. What is the primary concern among respondents regarding AI’s impact on creativity, according to the survey?
A. Loss of job opportunities. B. Economic instability.
C. Minimization of human creativity. D. Governmental inefficiency.
31. What is not the suggestion of the writer to cope with the problem?

In a new Nature Nanotechnology (纳米技术) journal review paper, scientists from UC Riverside and Carnegie Mellon University highlight that using nanotechnology, drugs can now be delivered where they’re most needed for a plant.
“There are studies predicting we will need to increase food production by up to 60% in 2050 relative to 2020 levels. Right now, we are trying to do that through inefficient agrochemical delivery,” said Juan Giraldo, UCR associate professor. “Half of all the fertilizer applied on farms is lost in the environment and pollutes the groundwater. In the case of commonly used pesticides, it’s even worse. Only 5% reach their intended targets. The rest ends up contaminating the environment.” Giraldo said.
In their review, the researchers highlight specific approaches borrowed from nanomedicine that could be used to deliver pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to specific biological targets. Researchers are pioneering targeted delivery technologies based on coating nanomaterials with sugars or peptides that recognize specific proteins on plant cells. This allows scientists to guide desired chemicals to where the plant needs them.
Doing this could make plants more resilient to disease and harmful environmental factors like extreme heat or high salt content in soil. This type of delivery would also be a much greener approach to sustainably produce food, with fewer off-target effects in the environment.”
“Nano-enabled precision delivery of active agents in plants will transform agriculture, though there are critical technical challenges that we must first overcome to realize the full range of its benefits,” said Greg Lowry, Carnegie Mellon engineering professor.
32. What does the review focus on?
A. Applying nanotechnology to agriculture. B. Cooperation between two universities.
C. Different methods to increase food production. D. Reducing pollution to underground water.
33. What is implied according to the second paragraph?
A. Only half of all the fertilizer is efficient.
B. There is a lot of room to improve farm efficiency.
C. Food is not enough to feed the present population.
D. Food increase is at the cost of polluting environment.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Why nanomedicine is effective. B. What scientists find in the research.
C. How the method of nanotechnology works. D. What chemicals to expect from the research.
35. What is Greg Lowry’s attitude towards nanotechnology serving agriculture?
A. Positive. B. Pessimistic. C. Unclear D. Neutral
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A

The Nobel Prize is the brainchild of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist who was best known in his lifetime for the invention of dynamite. It was stated in his will that over 90% of his estate should be used to establish prizes in five categories: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace.
According to Nobel’s will, the Swedish Academy of Science was to award a yearly prize in physics and chemistry. The Caroline Institute at Stockholm would award the prize for medicine. ____36____ Five members selected by the Norwegian government select the recipient of the annual Peace Prize, which is awarded in Oslo, Norway, while the others are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.
____37____ This is not technically a Nobel Prize because it was not listed in Nobel’s will, and it does not use Nobel’s foundation to award funds, but with the monies awarded from the Bank of Sweden.
Typically, the Nobel Prize includes a medal, international recognition, and a sum of money for ongoing work in the winner’s field. Often, the money is not greatly important since the people receiving the award tend to be at the end of their careers. ____38____
Since the Prize’s establishment, over 750 awards have been given. They tend not to be awarded posthumously, which has met with some controversy. ____39____ For example, Mahatma Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his efforts to promote non-violent protests and fair government in India.
Others have complained about the absence of a Nobel Prize for advances in the field of mathematics. ____40____ Each year, five mathematicians from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters select the Abel Prize recipient for his or her outstanding achievements in the field.
A. Many wonder why Alfred Nobel established the prizes.
B. Some of the recipients of the award have also been criticized.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了诺贝尔奖的设立、评选、奖项设置及相关争议。
【36题详解】
由上文“According to Nobel’s will, the Swedish Academy of Science was to award a yearly prize in physics and chemistry. The Caroline Institute at Stockholm would award the prize for medicine. (根据诺贝尔的遗嘱,瑞典科学院将每年颁发物理和化学奖。斯德哥尔摩的卡罗琳研究所将颁发医学奖。)”及下文“Five members selected by the Norwegian government select the recipient of the annual Peace Prize, which is awarded in Oslo, Norway, while the others are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden. (由挪威政府选出的五名成员选出年度和平奖的获得者,该奖项在挪威奥斯陆颁发,而其他奖项则在瑞典斯德哥尔摩颁发。)”可知,上文提到了物理、化学和医学奖项的颁发机构,下文提到了和平奖的颁发机构,本空应介绍文学奖的颁发机构,E选项“The Academy of Stockholm would determine the award for literature. (斯德哥尔摩学院将决定文学奖的归属。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
由下文“This is not technically a Nobel Prize because it was not listed in Nobel’s will, and it does not use Nobel’s foundation to award funds, but with the monies awarded from the Bank of Sweden. (从技术上讲,这不是诺贝尔奖,因为它没有在诺贝尔的遗嘱中列出,也没有使用诺贝尔的基金来颁发奖金,而是使用瑞典银行颁发的奖金。)”可知,下文提到了一个奖项不是诺贝尔奖,并非诺贝尔遗嘱原设,由瑞典银行出资,本空应说明这个奖项是什么,C选项“Some confusion exists over a sixth category, the prize in economics. (人们对第六个类别,即经济学奖,存在一些困惑。)”能引出下文,符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
由上文“Often, the money is not greatly important since the people receiving the award tend to be at the end of their careers. (通常,金钱并不是那么重要,因为获奖者往往处于职业生涯的末期。)”可知,上文说明了奖金对获奖者来说并不重要,本空应说明奖金的具体数额。F选项“Currently, those receiving the Prize may receive a little over $1 million US dollars. (目前,获奖者可能会获得略高于100万美元的奖金。)”具体说明奖金数额,承接上文内容,符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
由上文“Since the Prize’s establishment, over 750 awards have been given. They tend not to be awarded posthumously, which has met with some controversy.(自诺贝尔奖设立以来,已颁发了超过750个奖项。该奖项通常不授予已故人士,这一点引发了一些争议。)”以及下文“For example, Mahatma Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his efforts to promote non-violent protests and fair government in India.(例如,圣雄甘地尽管致力于在印度推动非暴力抗议与公平治理,却从未获得诺贝尔和平奖。)”可知,上文描述诺贝尔奖引发了一些争议,下文列举甘地未获和平奖的例子,本空应说明获奖者也受到了一些批评。B 选项“Some of the recipients of the award have also been criticized.(部分奖项得主也受到了批评。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选B。
40题详解】
由上文“Others have complained about the absence of a Nobel Prize for advances in the field of mathematics. (其他人则抱怨没有设立诺贝尔数学奖。)”及下文“Each year, five mathematicians from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters select the Abel Prize recipient for his or her outstanding achievements in the field. (每年,挪威科学与文学院都会选出五位数学家,为在该领域取得杰出成就的人颁发阿贝尔奖。)”可知,上文说明了没有设立诺贝尔数学奖,下文说明了一个替代奖项——阿贝尔奖,本空应说明为弥补这一空缺设立了相关奖项。G选项“In 2002, the Niels Henrik Abel Memorial Fund was created to fill in for this absence. (2002年,尼尔斯·亨利克·阿贝尔纪念基金成立,以填补这一空白。)”能承上启下,符合语境。故选G。

第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
Today, I experienced three impactful acts of kindness that underscored (强调) humility, compassion, and the importance of helping others.
Early in the morning, on my way to work, I noticed a woman in need of a nearby ride. Sensing her urgency and the lack of transport options, I offered her a lift on my bike, brightening her morning and leaving me with a sense of fulfillment.
Later, around 1. a.m. after a night out, my auto rickshaw stalled on a rough speed bump. Feeling frustrated, I hesitated between helping or finding another ride. Unexpectedly, two men in a passing auto noticed our situation and offered assistance, attempting to push our vehicle. Though our auto restarted before they reached us, their willingness to help deeply touched me.
Throughout the journey, the auto driver expressed gratitude for their kindness. Upon reaching my destination, a technical issue prevented my electronic payment. Initially frustrated, I blamed the problem on him, but he patiently suggested it might be on my end and offered to wait until morning. His trust and patience humbled me, and the payment later went through successfully.
Reflecting on these events, I realized how kindness creates a ripple effect. My earlier act of helping the woman seemed to trigger a chain reaction of goodwill. It reinforced the importance of genuine kindness and empathy towards others, not for recognition but as a fundamental expression of humanity.
These experiences reaffirmed my commitment to always extend a helping hand and approach situations with patience and understanding. Today’s acts of kindness illustrated that even small gestures can have a profound impact, highlighting kindness as a virtue that enriches both giver and receiver.
21. What did the narrator do on the way to work?
A. Helping a woman fix her bicycle. B. Giving a woman a ride on the author’s bike.
C. Offering to make a decision for a woman. D. Helping a woman find her lost bike.
22. How did the author initially react when facing a payment issue with the auto rickshaw driver?
A. Blamed the driver. B. Blamed the author’s bank.
C. Offered to pay in cash. D. Offered to pay later.
23. According to the author, why is genuine kindness important?
A. It guarantees recognition and rewards from others.
B. It costs nothing to neither the giver, nor the receiver.
C. It saves one from frustration and technical difficulties.
D. It demonstrates humanity and fosters positive connections.
B
Shanghai, a novel trend has emerged — grading beverages (饮料) based on their fat and sugar content to aid consumer health choices. Launched in late March, this system categorizes drinks into grades A, B, C, or D, with corresponding recommended consumption levels.
To earn an A grade, a beverage must meet strict criteria: less than 0.5 g of non-dairy sugars, less than 0.75 g of saturated fats, less than 0.3 g of trans fats per 100 ml, and no non-sugar sweeteners. Notably, a regular Coca-Cola rates as a C, while Diet Coke achieves a B.
Zang Jiajie, Director at the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention, highlighted how this initiative reflects Shanghai residents’ increasing health awareness. The city’s booming beverage market, now valued over 1 trillion yuan, sees a rising preference for sugar-free and fat-free options, particularly in popular teas.
However challenges persist due to misleading “free” labels and unclear nutritional information, causing consumer confusion. Recent analyses revealed discrepancies in labeled versus actual sugar content in milk teas, prompting regulatory efforts for clearer labeling and healthier product formulations.
Responding to these concerns, Shanghai introduced regulations urging producers to create low-salt, low-fat, and low-sugar products with comprehensive nutritional labeling. A survey indicated strong public support for such measures, emphasizing the importance of clear nutritional information in consumer decision-making.
24. What is the primary purpose of grading beverages in Shanghai?
A. To evaluate their taste and profiles. B. To determine their market value.
C. To help drink-buyers make better choices. D. To categorize based on brand popularity.
25. According to the text, what criteria must a beverage meet to earn an A grade?
A. Low caffeine and low calorie count. B. Low saturated fats and high protein content.
C. High sugar content and no artificial sweeteners. D. Low non-dairy sugars, saturated fats and trans fats.
26. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Differences. B. Secrets. C. Similarities. D. Concepts.
27. How has the Shanghai government responded to concerns about beverage nutrition?
A By banning sugary beverages altogether.
B. By increasing taxes on high-fat beverages.
C. By promoting local beverage companies over international brands.
D. By introducing regulations for clearer labeling and healthier products.

More than a third of translators believe they have already lost job opportunities to AI, as revealed by a recent survey conducted by the Society of Authors. This survey, involving feedback from over 800 members, highlights significant concerns among creative professionals regarding the impact of emergent technologies.
Despite some members experimenting with generative programs—22% incorporating them into their work and 31% using them for brainstorming—the overall adoption remains cautious. This cautious approach underscores widespread ethical concerns within the community about the quality and integrity of AI-generated content.
The survey also confirms that AI is beginning to affect livelihoods, with 36% of translators and 26% of illustrators reporting job losses due to generative AI. Moreover, 43% of translators and 37% of illustrators have seen reduced income attributed to these technologies, indicating tangible economic impacts.
Beyond economic considerations, there is a prevailing worry (86% of respondents) that AI could devalue human creativity, citing issues such as bias, inaccuracies in content, copyright infringement (专利侵权), and misuse of personal data. Consequently, there is strong advocacy (94% of respondents) for receiving credit and compensation when their work is used by AI, and an overwhelming demand (97%) for transparency when AI is involved in content creation.
In response to these concerns, there is broad consensus (95%) among respondents that governments should introduce regulations to enforce ethical standards in AI use, ensuring consent, compensation, and transparency.
Despite these calls for regulation and ethical guidelines, there is skepticism about governmental effectiveness in managing AI’s impact on creative industries. The survey concludes that collective action and grassroots efforts, as well as law support may be necessary to address these challenges effectively.

In a new Nature Nanotechnology (纳米技术) journal review paper, scientists from UC Riverside and Carnegie Mellon University highlight that using nanotechnology, drugs can now be delivered where they’re most needed for a plant.
“There are studies predicting we will need to increase food production by up to 60% in 2050 relative to 2020 levels. Right now, we are trying to do that through inefficient agrochemical delivery,” said Juan Giraldo, UCR associate professor. “Half of all the fertilizer applied on farms is lost in the environment and pollutes the groundwater. In the case of commonly used pesticides, it’s even worse. Only 5% reach their intended targets. The rest ends up contaminating the environment.” Giraldo said.
In their review, the researchers highlight specific approaches borrowed from nanomedicine that could be used to deliver pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to specific biological targets. Researchers are pioneering targeted delivery technologies based on coating nanomaterials with sugars or peptides that recognize specific proteins on plant cells. This allows scientists to guide desired chemicals to where the plant needs them.
Doing this could make plants more resilient to disease and harmful environmental factors like extreme heat or high salt content in soil. This type of delivery would also be a much greener approach to sustainably produce food, with fewer off-target effects in the environment.”
“Nano-enabled precision delivery of active agents in plants will transform agriculture though there are critical technical challenges that we must first overcome to realize the full range of its benefits,” said Greg Lowry, Carnegie Mellon engineering professor.
32. What does the review focus on?
A. Applying nanotechnology to agriculture. B. Cooperation between two universities.
C. Different methods to increase food production. D. Reducing pollution to underground water.
33. What is implied according to the second paragraph?
A. Only half of all the fertilizer is efficient.
B. There is a lot of room to improve farm efficiency.
C. Food is not enough to feed the present population.
D. Food increase is at the cost of polluting environment.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. Why nanomedicine is effective. B. What scientists find in the research.
C. How the method of nanotechnology works. D. What chemicals to expect from the research.
35. What is Greg Lowry’s attitude towards nanotechnology serving agriculture?
A. Positive. B. Pessimistic. C. Unclear D. Neutral

The Nobel Prize is the brainchild of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist who was best known in his lifetime for the invention of dynamite. It was stated in his will that over 90% of his estate should be used to establish prizes in five categories: physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace.
According to Nobel’s will, the Swedish Academy of Science was to award a yearly prize in physics and chemistry. The Caroline Institute at Stockholm would award the prize for medicine. ____36____ Five members selected by the Norwegian government select the recipient of the annual Peace Prize, which is awarded in Oslo, Norway, while the others are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.
____37____ This is not technically a Nobel Prize because it was not listed in Nobel’s will, and it does not use Nobel’s foundation to award funds, but with the monies awarded from the Bank of Sweden.
Typically, the Nobel Prize includes a medal, international recognition, and a sum of money for ongoing work in the winner’s field. Often, the money is not greatly important since the people receiving the award tend to be at the end of their careers. ____38____
Since the Prize’s establishment, over 750 awards have been given. They tend not to be awarded posthumously, which has met with some controversy. ____39____ For example, Mahatma Gandhi never won the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his efforts to promote non-violent protests and fair government in India.
Others have complained about the absence of a Nobel Prize for advances in the field of mathematics. ____40____ Each year, five mathematicians from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters select the Abel Prize recipient for his or her outstanding achievements in the field.
A. Many wonder why Alfred Nobel established the prizes.
B. Some of the recipients of the award have also been criticized.
C. Some confusion exists over a sixth category, the prize in economics.
D. What bodies should be responsible for selecting and awarding them?
E. The Academy of Stockholm would determine the award for literature.
F. Currently, those receiving the Prize may receive a little over $1 million US dollars.
G. In 2002, the Niels Henrik Abel Memorial Fund was created to fill in for this absence.
