W: 20 students, and we also need 2 staff members for support. Staff tickets cost half the price of the children’s tickets.
M: And transport?
W: A bus costs $90 for the day, and that isn’t cheap. I need to double-check the budget, but I think it’ll work.
M: It sounds like you’ve got things covered. The kids will love it. Have you considered the needs of the students with eyesight problems?
W: Yes, but there aren’t any children who can’t see well going on this trip.

【原文】Hi everyone. This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say, and that's why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma Wilson.
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)?
The prosecution (控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo, 29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok.
Stewart, 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others.
Steve, 6
Now you be the-judge
In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?
21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok?
A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos.
C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James.
22. Who is fully on Marley’s side?
A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve.
23. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A legal paper. B. A court record.
C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column.
【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了Marley对社交媒体的沉迷是否需要戒断,展现了两位朋友的观点及读者的看法。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online.(我的工作意味着我必须时刻关注网上的流行趋势)”可知,Marley花时间在抖音上的原因是她需要了解最新的网络趋势。故选C。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据Margo, 29部分“While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.(虽然Marley对TikTok的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度,但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受,他应该搬出去)”可知,只有Margo全力支持Marley。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?(在我们读者反馈部分,告诉我们:Marley应该离开TikTok,开始自己的生活吗?)”可知,这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。
B
On my first day at my current job, I came to work expecting a friendly welcome — but I was met with silence. After a quick introduction to the business manager, I was told where to get my ID and then left to figure the rest out on my own. I clearly remember walking into my first departmental meeting, eager to meet my colleagues, only for the boss to skip over introducing me completely. Not really the type of environment that inspires a feeling of belonging.
The primary loneliness stuck with me. Instead of waiting for the workplace culture to change, I decided to create my own sense of community. I started a lunch group, which grew into a regular coffee hour. I invited new hires to join informal meetups, promoting connections before and after department meetings. Over time, this small, self-made network became my spirit support at work. But what if I hadn’t built that community myself?
Chances are that I would have left the job. Increasingly, researchers are realizing that developing a sense of belonging is critical for workforce stability. Historically, studies on supporting workforce stability have focused on more basic factors like pay, hours, and workload. These are all important qualities that cannot be overlooked. But they are not enough.
You must have heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The theory suggests lower-level needs must be met before you can progress to higher-level needs. At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy, physiological and safety needs must be met. This is where fundamentals like pay, hours, and workplace safety would fall. Just above that is the need for love and belonging. In a workplace, this translates to a sense of connection and feeling like part of the team.
According to Maslow’s theory, it’s impossible to be the best version of ourselves without meeting these fundamental needs. So although, yes, being paid fairly is important, to motivate employees to operate at their highest level, you need to create an environment where people feel they truly matter.
24. What did the writer experience on the first day of his new job?
A. A hearty reception from colleagues. B. Thorough guidance at the workplace.
C. Emotional distance between coworkers. D. Brief training from the business manager.
25. What is the writer’s purpose of starting a lunch group?
A. Establishing a regular break time. B. Building up a shared identity.
C. Passing on the workplace culture. D. Conducting meetings during meals.
26. Why does the writer introduce Maslow’s theory?
A. To describe an ideal working environment. B. To discuss spiritual role in job satisfaction.
C. To suggest an effective management method. D. To explain factors to keeping the workforce.
27. What does the last paragraph imply for a workplace?
A. Basic demands are equal to emotional needs. B. Fair payment is the core of staff motivation.
C. A culture of belonging develops staff’s potential. D. Basic needs make the best versions of staff.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“On my first day at my current job, I came to work expecting a friendly welcome — but I was met with silence. After a quick introduction to the business manager, I was told where to get my ID and then left to figure the rest out on my own. I clearly remember walking into my first departmental meeting, eager to meet my colleagues, only for the boss to skip over introducing me completely. Not really the type of environment that inspires a feeling of belonging.(在我现在这份工作的第一天,我期待着友好的欢迎,结果迎接我的却是沉默。被简短地介绍给业务经理之后,我被告知去哪里拿工作证,然后就只能自己去摸索其他事情了。我清楚地记得,我走进第一次部门会议,渴望见到同事,结果老板完全跳过了对我的介绍。这可不是那种能让人产生归属感的环境)”可知,作者在新工作第一天感受到同事间存在情感距离,故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The primary loneliness stuck with me. Instead of waiting for the workplace culture to change, I decided to create my own sense of community. I started a lunch group, which grew into a regular coffee hour. I invited new hires to join informal meetups, promoting connections before and after department meetings. Over time, this small, self - made network became my spirit support at work.(最初的孤独感一直伴随着我。我没有等待职场文化改变,而是决定自己营造一种群体归属感。我发起了一个午餐小组,后来发展成定期的咖啡时间。我邀请新员工参加非正式聚会,在部门会议前后增进联系。随着时间推移,这个小的、自己构建的社交圈成为我工作中的精神支柱)”可知,作者发起午餐小组是为了营造归属感,建立一种共同的身份认同。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Chances are that I would have left the job. Increasingly, researchers are realizing that developing a sense of belonging is critical for workforce stability. Historically, studies on supporting workforce stability have focused on more basic factors like pay, hours, and workload. These are all important qualities that cannot be overlooked. But they are not enough.(很有可能我就辞职了。越来越多的研究人员意识到,培养归属感对员工队伍的稳定性至关重要。从历史上看,关于维持员工队伍稳定性的研究主要集中在薪酬、工作时间和工作量等更基本的因素上。这些都是不可忽视的重要因素,但它们并不够)”以及第四段引入马斯洛需求层次理论可知,作者介绍该理论是为了解释维持员工队伍稳定的因素,故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Maslow’s theory, its impossible to be the best version of ourselves without meeting these fundamental needs. So although, yes, being paid fairly is important, to motivate employees to operate at their highest level, you need to create an environment where people feel they truly matter.(根据马斯洛的理论,如果不满足这些基本需求,我们就不可能成为最好的自己。所以,虽然公平薪酬很重要,但要激励员工发挥出最高水平,你需要营造一种让人们觉得自己真正重要的环境)”可知,在工作场所,归属感文化能激发员工潜力。故选C项。
C
Pomelo(a kind of fruit) has a thick peel that is typically thrown away, contributing to significant food waste. In a recent study, researchers at the University of Illinois looked into methods to repurpose it to develop a device capable of powering small electronic products.
The pomelo peel has a thin outer layer and a thick, soft inner layer. “Some people have used pomelo peels to extract mixtures for essential oils,” the researchers said, “but we wanted to take advantage of the structure of the peel so as to upcycle it into higher-value products.” They cut it into smaller pieces and freeze-dried it to maintain its unique three-dimensional porous (多孔的) architecture. By examining its chemical composition and mechanical properties, the research team engineered a device that transforms mechanical energy into electricity.
The device is contact electrified, which may sound complex, but is actually simple. When we touch a sweater, especially in the winter, sometimes we feel a shock. The basic mechanism is contact electrification, or rubbing-electrification (摩擦起电). When two materials are rubbed against each other, electricity can form due to the transfer of charges between them.
The researchers used the pomelo peel and a plastic film as two rubbing-electric layers that are brought into contact when external force is present. They attached an electrode to each of these layers to judge how well the resulting device could turn external mechanical energy into electricity. By simply tapping the pomelo-peel-based rubbing-electric device with a finger, they could light up about 20 LEDs. They also showed that a sports watch can be powered only by these mechanical forces, without the need of external electricity.
This work has strong potential to transform otherwise wasted energy into useful electricity; it could contribute significantly to long-term sustainability. Yi-Cheng Wang, a professor of College of Illinois, said, “We also found that, thanks to the pomelo peel’s naturally porous structure, rubbing-electric devices based on it can be highly sensitive to force and force frequency. Therefore, we got the idea of developing sensing devices that can be attached to the human body for biomechanical monitoring.”
28. What made the researchers develop the rubbing-electric device?
A. The goal to produce more oils. B. The desire to cut down food waste.
C. The need to test a freeze-drying technology. D. The lack of effective power-generating tools.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the device?
A. Its developing process. B. Its functional advantages.
C. Its working principle. D. Its experimenting conditions.
30. Why are LEDs and the sports watch mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To prove the device’s effectiveness. B. To stress their energy efficiency.
C. To show the device’s user-friendliness. D. To measure their electricity consumption.
31. What can we know from Professor Wang’s words?
A. The devices need further tests. B. The devices inspired wider applications.
C. Pomelo peel may fail to respond to force. D. Making sensing devices is their original goal.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】

Last spring Shiri Melumad, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, gave a group of 250 people a simple writing assignment: Share advice with a friend on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. To come up with tips, some were allowed to use a traditional Google search, while others could rely only on summaries of information generated automatically with Google’s artificial intelligence.
The people using AI-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful — eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep!The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more subtle advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health.
The tech industry tells us that chatbots and new AI search tools will supercharge the way we learn and thrive, and that anyone who ignores the technology risks being left behind. But Dr. Melumad’s experiment, like other academic studies published so far on AI’s effects on the brain, found that people who rely heavily on chatbots and AI search tools for tasks like writing essays and research are generally performing worse than people who don’t use them.
Welcome to the era of “brain rot”, the slang term to describe a deteriorated mental state from engaging with low-quality internet content. When we write with ChatGPT, are we even writing?
The most high-profile study this year about AI’s effects on the brain came out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where researchers sought to understand how tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT could affect how people write. The study, which involved 54 college students, had a small sample size, but the results raised important questions about whether AI could suppress people’s abilities to learn.
For part of the study, students were asked to write an essay ranging from 500 to 1,000 words, and they were divided into different groups: One group could write with the help of ChatGPT, a second group could look up information only with a traditional Google search, and a third group could rely only on their brains to compose their assignment. The students wore sensors that measured electrical activity in their brains. The ChatGPT users showed the lowest brain activity, which was unsurprising since they were letting the AI chatbot do the work.
But the most striking revelation arose after the students finished the writing exercise. One minute after completing their essays, the students were asked to quote any part of their essay. The vast majority of ChatGPT users (83 percent) could not recall a single sentence. In contrast, the students using Google’s search engine could quote some parts, and the students who relied on no tech could recite lots of lines, with some even quoting almost the entirety of their essays literally.
“It has been one minute, and you really cannot say anything?” said Nataliya Kosmyna, the research scientist at MIT Media Lab who led the study, about the ChatGPT users. “If you don’t remember what you wrote, you don’t feel ownership. Do you even care?”
32. What was the main finding of Dr. Melumad’s experiment?
A. AI-generated summaries are more helpful than traditional searches.
B. People using AI summaries gave less detailed and helpful advice.
C. Traditional Google searches are no longer useful for writing.
D. AI tools improve the quality of writing assignments significantly.
33. What does the term “brain rot” refer to in the text?
A. disease caused by using computers.
B. Improved thinking ability from using AI.
C. Mental decline due to poor content consumption.
D. A new type of brain training method.
34. Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of the text?
A. AI tools are useless for academic tasks.
B. Using AI may reduce mental engagement and memory maintenance.
C. Traditional search engines are better than AI for all tasks.
D. Students should avoid using technology in writing assignments.
35. Why does the author mention Nataliya Kosmyna’s question: “Do you even care?”
A. To show that ChatGPT users are lazy.
B. To emphasize the loss of personal connection to one’s work when using AI.
C. To criticize MIT’s research methods.
D. To encourage more use of AI in writing.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两项关于AI对人类大脑影响的研究,发现过度依赖AI工具会导致内容输出缺乏细节、大脑活跃度降低、记忆力衰退,且使用者对自身作品丧失归属感等问题。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The people using AI-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful — eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep! The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more subtle advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health.(使用AI生成摘要的人给出的建议通用、明显且大体上无帮助——吃健康的食物、保持水分充足、保证充足睡眠!而通过传统谷歌网页搜索获取信息的人,分享了更细致的建议,聚焦于健康的多个支柱,包括身体、心理和情绪健康)”可知,Melumad博士实验的主要发现是使用AI摘要的人给出的建议不够详细且缺乏帮助。故选B项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“the slang term to describe a deteriorated mental state from engaging with low-quality internet content(这个俚语用来描述因接触低质量网络内容而导致的精神状态恶化)”可知,brain rot指的是因消费低质量内容而导致的精神衰退。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。文章围绕两项研究展开,Melumad博士的实验发现依赖AI会输出缺乏细节的内容,MIT的研究则表明使用ChatGPT会降低大脑活跃度、导致使用者难以回忆自己的作品。核心主旨是使用AI可能减少精神投入(大脑活跃度低)和记忆保持(难以回忆内容)。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最中一段“If you don’t remember what you wrote, you don’t feel ownership. Do you even care?(如果你不记得自己写了什么,你就不会有归属感。你甚至在乎吗?)”可知,作者引用Nataliya Kosmyna的问题,是为了强调使用AI时,使用者与自己作品之间的个人联系会丧失(缺乏归属感)。故选B项。

Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____38____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.
____39____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____40____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何改变我们的工作方式来应对人工智能的影响。
【36题详解】
根据上文“It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing.(人工智能正在改变我们的工作方式,这已经不是什么秘密。随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化,人类只能从事更高级的认知工作,比如创意产生、战略规划和创意写作)”可知,上文提到人工智能在改变我们的工作方式,随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化,推测本句应说明人类应该如何应对这种情况。故D选项“要在新时代脱颖而出,我们需要改变我们的工作方式”符合语境。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached.(领导者经常根据员工在工作中花费时间或他们达到的抽象目标的数量来衡量生产力)”以及后文“This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. (这种类型的输出不适合人工智能时代。相反,我们必须进行心理上的转换,以质量而不是数量来安排每个工作日)”可知,上文提到了领导者通过花费的时间以及数量来衡量生产力,本句与上文构成因果关系,总结领导者优先考虑的工作数量。故C选项“因此,工作的数量被优先考虑”符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work.(从摒弃整天连续工作的旧方法开始。研究表明,持续的工作损害了创造性想法的产生和高质量、复杂的认知工作)”以及后文“It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.(建议使用90分钟左右的工作时间,在前20分钟内解决任务中最难的部分,然后在剩下的时间里转向较慢、较容易的工作)”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出应该集中精力工作,后文给出时间安排的建议。故F选项“正因为如此,最好是集中精力工作,让大脑得到休息”符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文“Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep.(因此,管理者应该考虑团队或个人工作的主要领域,而不是在整个团队或组织中强加相同的工作时间表。数据表明,最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作)”可知,后文提到“最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作”,即工作的时间对效率产生影响。故B选项“一天中的时间也会有影响”符合语境。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep.(数据表明,最好在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作)”以及后文“In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus.(在集中精力工作的间隙,找时间打个盹,或者做一些不需要太多创造力和注意力的简单工作)”可知,上文提到了“在一天的头几个小时和睡前做一些涉及创造力、想象力和解决问题的工作”,本句承接上文,说明其他时间段应该进行什么样的工作。故G选项“中午是做需要集中注意力的事情的最佳时间”符合语境。故选G。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Saturday morning when the restaurant owner John called me aside. “I need to go out to deal with something,” he said. “Can you take charge for a few hours?”
My heart skipped a beat. I’d worked here for just two weeks, but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered.
John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.”
“What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly.
“I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.”
Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments.
Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!”
I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words. The lady nodded instantly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them.

【答案】参考范文
Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. One customer knocked over his glass, splashing water across the floor. Without panicking, I grabbed a towel, quickly mopped it up, and handed him a fresh drink with a smile. “No worries at all — accidents happen!” I said. I noticed a look of admiration in his face. Another time, the kitchen mixed up an order. I apologized sincerely, had the chef remake it immediately, and even offered a free dessert to make up for the wait.
Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. He scanned the restaurant — tables full but orderly, guests chatting happily and no signs of chaos. Spotting me, he raised his eyebrows and smiled widely. Then he walked toward me, patted me on the shoulder and announced, “You’ve handled everything perfectly!” Relief washed over me, and pride quickly followed. At that time, I realized that maybe I was ready for more than I thought — I just needed to trust myself to figure things out, with a smile.

A
You be the judge: should my phone-addicted friend go on a mobile detox (戒断)?
The prosecution (控方): James
My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers
While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.
Margo, 29
Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok.
Stewart, 35
As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together.
Peter, 40
The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others.
Steve, 6
Now you be the-judge
In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?
21. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok?
A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos.
C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James.
22. Who is fully on Marley’s side?
A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve.
23. Where does the text most probably come from?
A. A legal paper. B. A court record.
C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column.
B
On my first day at my current job, I came to work expecting a friendly welcome — but I was met with silence. After a quick introduction to the business manager, I was told where to get my ID and then left to figure the rest out on my own. I clearly remember walking into my first departmental meeting, eager to meet my colleagues, only for the boss to skip over introducing me completely. Not really the type of environment that inspires a feeling of belonging.
The primary loneliness stuck with me. Instead of waiting for the workplace culture to change, I decided to create my own sense of community. I started a lunch group, which grew into a regular coffee hour. I invited new hires to join informal meetups, promoting connections before and after department meetings. Over time, this small, self-made network became my spirit support at work. But what if I hadn’t built that community myself?
Chances are that I would have left the job. Increasingly, researchers are realizing that developing a sense of belonging is critical for workforce stability. Historically, studies on supporting workforce stability have focused on more basic factors like pay, hours, and workload. These are all important qualities that cannot be overlooked. But they are not enough.
You must have heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The theory suggests lower-level needs must be met before you can progress to higher-level needs. At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy, physiological and safety needs must be met. This is where fundamentals like pay, hours, and workplace safety would fall. Just above that is the need for love and belonging. In a workplace, this translates to a sense of connection and feeling like part of the team.
According to Maslow’s theory, it’s impossible to be the best version of ourselves without meeting these fundamental needs. So although, yes, being paid fairly is important, to motivate employees to operate at their highest level, you need to create an environment where people feel they truly matter.
24. What did the writer experience on the first day of his new job?
A. A hearty reception from colleagues. B. Thorough guidance at the workplace.
C. Emotional distance between coworkers. D. Brief training from the business manager.
25. What is the writer’s purpose of starting a lunch group?
A. Establishing a regular break time. B. Building up a shared identity.
C. Passing on the workplace culture. D. Conducting meetings during meals.
26. Why does the writer introduce Maslow’s theory?
A. To describe an ideal working environment. B. To discuss spiritual role in job satisfaction.
C. To suggest an effective management method. D. To explain factors to keeping the workforce.
27. What does the last paragraph imply for a workplace?
A. Basic demands are equal to emotional needs. B. Fair payment is the core of staff motivation.
C. A culture of belonging develops staff’s potential. D. Basic needs make the best versions of staff.
C
Pomelo(a kind of fruit) has a thick peel that is typically thrown away, contributing to significant food waste. In a recent study, researchers at the University of Illinois looked into methods to repurpose it to develop a device capable of powering small electronic products.
The pomelo peel has a thin outer layer and a thick, soft inner layer. “Some people have used pomelo peels to extract mixtures for essential oils,” the researchers said, “but we wanted to take advantage of the structure of the peel so as to upcycle it into higher-value products.” They cut it into smaller pieces and freeze-dried it to maintain its unique three-dimensional porous (多孔的) architecture. By examining its chemical composition and mechanical properties, the research team engineered a device that transforms mechanical energy into electricity.
The device is contact electrified, which may sound complex, but is actually simple. When we touch a sweater, especially in the winter, sometimes we feel a shock. The basic mechanism is contact electrification, or rubbing-electrification (摩擦起电). When two materials are rubbed against each other, electricity can form due to the transfer of charges between them.
The researchers used the pomelo peel and a plastic film as two rubbing-electric layers that are brought into contact when external force is present. They attached an electrode to each of these layers to judge how well the resulting device could turn external mechanical energy into electricity. By simply tapping the pomelo-peel-based rubbing-electric device with a finger, they could light up about 20 LEDs. They also showed that a sports watch can be powered only by these mechanical forces, without the need of external electricity.
This work has strong potential to transform otherwise wasted energy into useful electricity; it could contribute significantly to long-term sustainability. Yi-Cheng Wang, a professor of College of Illinois, said, “We also found that, thanks to the pomelo peel’s naturally porous structure, rubbing-electric devices based on it can be highly sensitive to force and force frequency. Therefore, we got the idea of developing sensing devices that can be attached to the human body for biomechanical monitoring.”
28. What made the researchers develop the rubbing-electric device?
A. The goal to produce more oils. B. The desire to cut down food waste.
C. The need to test a freeze-drying technology. D. The lack of effective power-generating tools.
29. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the device?
A. Its developing process. B. Its functional advantages.
C. Its working principle. D. Its experimenting conditions.
30. Why are LEDs and the sports watch mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To prove the device’s effectiveness. B. To stress their energy efficiency.
C. To show the device’s user-friendliness. D. To measure their electricity consumption.
31. What can we know from Professor Wang’s words?
A The devices need further tests. B. The devices inspired wider applications.
C. Pomelo peel may fail to respond to force. D. Making sensing devices is their original goal.
D
Last spring, Shiri Melumad, a professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, gave a group of 250 people a simple writing assignment: Share advice with a friend on how to lead a healthier lifestyle. To come up with tips, some were allowed to use a traditional Google search, while others could rely only on summaries of information generated automatically with Google’s artificial intelligence.
The people using AI-generated summaries wrote advice that was generic, obvious and largely unhelpful — eat healthy foods, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep!The people who found information with a traditional Google web search shared more subtle advice about focusing on the various pillars of wellness, including physical, mental and emotional health.
The tech industry tells us that chatbots and new AI search tools will supercharge the way we learn and thrive, and that anyone who ignores the technology risks being left behind. But Dr. Melumad’s experiment, like other academic studies published so far on AI’s effects on the brain, found that people who rely heavily on chatbots and AI search tools for tasks like writing essays and research are generally performing worse than people who don’t use them.
Welcome to the era of “brain rot”, the slang term to describe a deteriorated mental state from engaging with low-quality internet content. When we write with ChatGPT, are we even writing?
The most high-profile study this year about AI’s effects on the brain came out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where researchers sought to understand how tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT could affect how people write. The study, which involved 54 college students, had a small sample size, but the results raised important questions about whether AI could suppress people’s abilities to learn.
For part of the study, students were asked to write an essay ranging from 500 to 1,000 words, and they were divided into different groups: One group could write with the help of ChatGPT, a second group could look up information only with a traditional Google search, and a third group could rely only on their brains to compose their assignment. The students wore sensors that measured electrical activity in their brains. The ChatGPT users showed the lowest brain activity, which was unsurprising since they were letting the AI chatbot do the work.
But the most striking revelation arose after the students finished the writing exercise. One minute after completing their essays, the students were asked to quote any part of their essay. The vast majority of ChatGPT users (83 percent) could not recall a single sentence. In contrast, the students using Google’s search engine could quote some parts, and the students who relied on no tech could recite lots of lines, with some even quoting almost the entirety of their essays literally.
“It has been one minute, and you really cannot say anything?” said Nataliya Kosmyna, the research scientist at MIT Media Lab who led the study, about the ChatGPT users. “If you don’t remember what you wrote, you don’t feel ownership. Do you even care?”
32. What was the main finding of Dr. Melumad’s experiment?
A. AI-generated summaries are more helpful than traditional searches.
B. People using AI summaries gave less detailed and helpful advice.
C. Traditional Google searches are no longer useful for writing.
D. AI tools improve the quality of writing assignments significantly.
33. What does the term “brain rot” refer to in the text?
A. disease caused by using computers.
B. Improved thinking ability from using AI.
C. Mental decline due to poor content consumption.
D A new type of brain training method.
34 Which of the following best summarizes the central idea of the text?
A. AI tools are useless for academic tasks.
B. Using AI may reduce mental engagement and memory maintenance.
C. Traditional search engines are better than AI for all tasks.
D. Students should avoid using technology in writing assignments.
35. Why does the author mention Nataliya Kosmyna’s question: “Do you even care?”
A. To show that ChatGPT users are lazy.
B. To emphasize the loss of personal connection to one’s work when using AI.
C. To criticize MIT’s research methods.
D. To encourage more use of AI in writing.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____36____
The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____37____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity.
Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____38____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.
____39____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____40____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus.
A. That’s because people tend to overwork.
B. The time of day will also make a difference.
C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized.
D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work.
E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity.
F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest.
G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration.

Smith not only runs ultramarathons — races longer than 26.2 miles that often take days to ____44____ — he also sets records. Smith said, “I’ve never really thought of my ____45____ as an obstacle,” I kind of have the ____46____ of “If somebody else can do it, you know, why can’t I?”
There are many ____47____ behind his running. One of Smith’s races came in November 2016, when he ____48____ the challenge of a 100-mile race in southwest China, near the very region where his father, Mickey, fought Japanese soldiers while ____49____ in the U.S. Army Air Corps (陆军航空队) during World War Ⅱ. Once, after Smith finished an ultramarathon in California, a stranger ____50____ him a note that said: “Watching you struggle up that hill gave me the ____51____ to fight my own illness. Thank you for showing me how to persevere.” For Smith, it was proof that running could ____52____ life beyond the finish line.
After he finished Badwater Ultramarathon, one of the world’s hardest footraces, Smith told his trainer Michael Johnson that it would be his ____53____ ultramarathon. Smith hasn’t ____54____ another race — but Johnson said he would probably find one soon. “He’s showing what’s ____55____ not just for him, but for you too, for me, for all of us.” said Johnson.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Saturday morning when the restaurant owner John called me aside. “I need to go out to deal with something,” he said. “Can you take charge for a few hours?”
My heart skipped a beat. I’d worked here for just two weeks but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered.
John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.”
“What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly.
“I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.”
Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments.
Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!”
I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words. The lady nodded instantly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them.

Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in.
