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
Fight climate change while traveling
Whether you’re commuting or vacationing, travel can cause a lot of pollution, for most vehicles are powered by burning gas. As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions.
But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency.
·Use Greener Transportation
Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions.
·Focus on Efficiency
If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.

The light is pouring through the windows as I stare attentively at a violin-shaped piece of wood in my hands. I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed. “Violin making is easy,” my teacher used to joke, “just take away all the bits of wood that aren’t a violin.”
By the time I’m in my workshop holding this piece of wood, I’ve already been up for many hours. I’m an early riser. After coffee, I head out for an hour-long walk with my dog, Eggs. Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape. The violin has become the community’s shared treasure for local folk players to take into the hills and play.
I love walking into my workshop in the morning. My work varies from small adjustments to more extensive work requiring a careful handling of the violin as a historical object. You never know what you’ll find inside an old violin. One of my favorite repairs involved a violin full of cracks. When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past. One read, in beautiful old calligraphic writing: “Le Petit Luthier à Paris, 1825”.
Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker.
4. What’s required to be a violin maker?
A. Good sense of humor. B. Keen eyes and sensitive touch.
C. Good knowledge of technology. D. Rich experience in cutting wood.
5. Why does the author value the film project so much?
A. It is for public welfare. B. It is loved by the folk players.
C. It is highly ranked by experts. D. It was shown in a famous film.
6. What impressed the author most about the old violin she repaired?
A. The fine skill it showed. B. The person who crafted it.
C. Traces of history it carried. D. Severe damage it suffered.
7. What does the author want to convey through his story?
A. Love will find a way. B. Still water runs deep.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. The best things in life are not material.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述制琴师的日常工作与生活,分享制琴感悟、特殊作品与修琴奇遇,对比生活选择,表明非遗手艺带来的精神富足远胜物质享受。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed.(我用指尖轻抚那粗糙的表面,仔细感受是否有需要去除的瑕疵)”可知,成为一名小提琴制作师需要具有准确的观察能力和敏锐的触觉。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape.(我的大多数灵感都源于晨间散步之时。其中包括我迄今为止最引以为傲的创作:为一部支持“自由漫步”运动的影片所制作的一把小提琴。该运动旨在倡导公众有权进入乡村地区)”可知,作者如此重视这个电影项目是因为它是为了公益事业。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past.(当我把它的前面部分拆开后,发现其内部布满了过去的制琴师所留下的铅笔签名)”可知,作者最欣赏修复的那把旧小提琴所承载的历史痕迹。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker.(尽管许多传统手工艺,比如制作小提琴,对文化经济有着至关重要的作用,但它们通常并不能带来丰厚的收入。我的职业选择也影响了我的生活方式。我的朋友们会花时间去旅行,还会花钱享受奢华的生活,而我则把时间投入到社区、自然以及作为工匠的成长之中。直到我开始从事小提琴制作这一职业,我才真正找到了这些事物,并且意识到它们是多么令人满足)”可知,作者通过这个故事想要传达生活中最美好的事物并非物质层面的。
C
A broader phenomenon swept over the developed Western world in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety and self-harm rose sharply. Why?
In the summer of 2022, Jonathan Haidt was working on a book project about how smartphones and social media rewired society in the 2010s. He quickly realized that the impact of social media on kids could not be explained in one chapter — it needed a book of its own. Hence, The Anxious Generation is Volume 1, in a sense, of the larger project.
Haidt begins The Anxious Generation by examining adolescent mental health trends. What happened to young people in the early 2010s that caused the rise of anxiety and depression around 2012? He offers an explanation by telling two stories: the decline of play-based childhood and the rise of phone-based childhood. He shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has affected children’s social and brain development, covering everything from lack of sleep to divided attention, addiction, loneliness, social comparison, and perfectionism.
Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He explains how parents, school, governments, tech companies, and young people are trapped in “collective action problems”, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free: giving children far more time for outdoor play with mixed-age groups; involving them in stable real-world communities rather than online networks; delaying smartphones and restricting social media access until at least high school.
He emphasizes that change is possible if society acts together. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children — and ourselves — from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.
8. Why did Jonathan Haidt decide to write The Anxious Generation?
A. To expand his original project.
B. To address an issue worth fuller study.
C. To explore how smartphones reshape society.
D. To replace his previous research with a new focus.
9. What does the underlined words “great rewiring ” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The lack of outdoor play.
B. The popularity of social media.
C. The increase of mental illness.
D. The switch from play to phones.
10. What does Haidt emphasize as essential for protecting children?
A. Stabilizing social networks.
B. Banning smartphones before college.
C. Relying mainly on individual parents.
D. Making joint efforts across social groups.
11. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A biography of a famous writer.
B. A book review in a literary magazine.
C. An introduction to a social science book.
D. A psychology research paper in a journal.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Jonathan Haidt写《焦虑的一代》的原因、书中内容及强调的保护儿童的关键。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He quickly realized that the impact of social media on kids could not be explained in one chapter — it needed a book of its own. Hence, The Anxious Generation is Volume 1, in a sense, of the larger project.(他很快意识到,社交媒体对孩子的影响无法在一章中解释清楚——它需要一本书来阐述。因此,从某种意义上说,《焦虑的一代》是这个大项目的第一卷)”可知,Jonathan Haidt决定写《焦虑的一代》是为了解决一个值得更深入研究的问题。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“He shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s.(他展示了“以玩耍为基础的童年”在20世纪80年代开始衰落,以及在21世纪10年代初被“以手机为基础的童年”的到来所取代的过程)”可知,“great rewiring”指的是从玩耍到手机的转变。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He emphasizes that change is possible if society acts together.(他强调,如果社会共同努力,改变是可能的)”可知,Haidt强调跨社会群体共同努力对于保护儿童至关重要。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章介绍了Jonathan Haidt的《焦虑的一代》这本书的写作原因、书中内容以及强调的保护儿童的关键,所以这篇文章可能来自对一本社会科学书籍的介绍。
D
Pancreatic cancer has become one of the deadliest forms of cancer across the world — it is often called a “silent killer” largely because early detection is so hard. Symptoms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate of only about 10 percent.
Now, new research suggests that an AI tool may significantly improve early detection of this deadly disease. In a study published in Nature Medicine, researchers from China found that an AI tool called PANDA, when analyzing routine noncontrast CT scans, could correctly identify 93 percent of people who had pancreatic lesions (病灶).
Contrast CT scans, used to confirm its presence, involve large amounts of radiation, so many experts advise against widespread screening. But lower-radiation alternatives, noncontrast CTs, produce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder for radiologists to identify abnormalities. The tool, developed by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained to address this by using an AI model to spot potential cancer.
Crucially, this process relies on the AI model being trained on mapped data from contrast scans. The team first asked a radiologist to manually mark the contrast CTs of more than 2,000 known pancreatic patients with the locations of their lesions. The engineers then algorithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesions onto the same patients’ noncontrast CTs. Those noncontrast scans were then fed to the AI model, so that it could learn to detect potential cancer even in less detailed images.
Still, researchers cautioned that more real-world data was needed to determine whether the tool’s benefits outweigh the risks of false positives and unnecessary testing. Dr. Ajit Goenka of Mayo Clinic stressed the importance of reducing false alarms, noting that hundreds in Ningbo faced unnecessary terror and testing only to find they were healthy. Dr. Diane Simeone of UC San Diego added that the tool might be more useful for trainee doctors than for experienced specialists, but acknowledged it could be a valuable backstop for hospitals lacking specialists.
12. How does the author illustrate cancer’s severity in the first paragraph?
A. By defining a term.
B. By providing statistics.
C. By giving examples.
D. By describing a medical process.
13. What is the AI model aimed at?
A. Reducing the radiation of CT scans.
B. Identifying lesions in less clear images.
C. Improving the clarity of scan images.
D. Replacing contrast CT scans completely.
14. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about?
A. The comparison of two CT scans.
B. The role of radiologists in the process.
C. The cause of false positives in detection.
D. The functional principle of the AI model.
15. What is Dr. Diane Simeone’s attitude towards the potential use of PANDA?
A. Fully supportive. B. Highly critical.
C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Deeply skeptical.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了新研究显示AI工具PANDA可提高胰腺癌早期检测率及其原理、应用前景。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Symptoms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate of only about 10 percent.(症状很少在疾病进展到晚期之前出现,患者的五年生存率只有约10%)”可知,作者通过提供统计数据来说明癌症的严重性。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But lower-radiation alternatives, noncontrast CTs, produce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder for radiologists to identify abnormalities. The tool, developed by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained to address this by using an AI model to spot potential cancer.(但是,低辐射的替代方案,即非对比CT,产生的图像清晰度较低,使得放射科医生更难识别异常。这个由中国科技巨头阿里巴巴的研究人员开发的工具,通过使用人工智能模型来识别潜在的癌症,从而解决了这个问题)”可知,AI模型旨在识别不太清晰的图像中的病灶。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“The team first asked a radiologist to manually mark the contrast CTs of more than 2,000 known pancreatic patients with the locations of their lesions. The engineers then algorithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesions onto the same patients’ noncontrast CTs. Those noncontrast scans were then fed to the AI model, so that it could learn to detect potential cancer even in less detailed images.(研究小组首先要求一名放射科医生手动标记2000多名已知胰腺癌患者的对比CT图像上病灶的位置。然后,工程师们通过算法将这些突出的病灶映射到同一患者的非对比CT图像上。然后将这些非对比扫描图像输入到AI模型中,以便它能够学会即使在不太详细的图像中也能检测出潜在的癌症)”可知,该段主要介绍了AI工具PANDA的工作原理——先由放射科医生标记病灶,再通过算法映射到非增强CT图像上,最后训练AI模型识别病灶。因此,该段主要讲述AI模型的工作原理。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dr. Diane Simeone of UC San Diego added that the tool might be more useful for trainee doctors than for experienced specialists, but acknowledged it could be a valuable backstop for hospitals lacking specialists.(加州大学圣地亚哥分校的Diane Simeone博士补充说,这个工具可能对实习医生比对有经验的专家更有用,但她承认,对于缺乏专家的医院来说,它可能是一个有价值的后盾)”可知,Diane Simeone博士对PANDA的潜在应用持谨慎乐观的态度。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。
Pickleball: A Fastest-Growing Sport
Ready to learn how to play pickleball? You’re not alone. ____16____ The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
____17____ It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball. The 7-foot area on each side of the net is called “kitchen”, where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air).
Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve-hitting the ball diagonally (成对角线) to the receiver. It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis. ____18____ And if your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally (对抗), you get the point.
What is the two-bounce rule in pickleball? It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air. ____19____ If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side. Once the two-bounce rule is met, all players are free to move to the kitchen and start volleying.
The game continues until one team gets 11 points. However, they must win by 2. That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19. ____20____
A. The sport is tons of fun.
B. These are often the most exciting games.
C. Otherwise, the serving team gains an advantage.
D. Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air.
E. Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis.
F. That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen.
G. Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍了快速发展的运动匹克球,包括其普及程度、运动规则、得分方式及相关特殊规定。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You’re not alone.(你不是一个人)”以及下文“The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.(国际匹克球联合会正努力确保匹克球成为2028年洛杉矶奥运会的一部分)”可知,此处应体现匹克球的普及程度,说明有很多人参与这项运动。G选项“Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date.(截至目前,匹克球在84个国家拥有超过500万玩家)”既呼应了上文“不是一个人”,又为下文其有望进入奥运会做了铺垫。
【17题详解】
根据下文“It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball.(它在羽毛球大小的球场上进行,球网高度为36英寸,使用方形球拍和一个尺寸与网球相似的塑料球)”可知,此处应总述匹克球的运动特点,体现其与其他运动的关联。E选项“Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis.(匹克球借鉴了网球、羽毛球和乒乓球的特点)”中的网球、羽毛球与下文的球场、球拍、球的描述相呼应,引出下文对匹克球场地和器材的介绍。
【18题详解】
根据上文“It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis.(它不像网球那样是一种强大的攻击性武器)”可知,此处应转折说明匹克球发球的目的。D选项“Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air.(相反,其目的只是为了让球保持在空中)”中的Instead呼应上文的否定表述,明确匹克球发球的核心目的,与下文得分规则衔接自然。
【19题详解】
根据上文“It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air.(这意味着发球后,球必须在双方场地各弹跳一次,然后任何人才能凌空击球)”以及下文“If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side.(如果你站得离网很近,你不能合法地凌空击球,因为只有在球在双方场地都弹跳过之后,你才能凌空击球)”可知,此处应解释双弹跳规则的意义或相关注意事项。F选项“That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen.(这就是为什么发球方从限制区开始发球是没有意义的)”中的That指代上文的双弹跳规则,kitchen与下文standing close to the net相呼应,衔接上下文。
【20题详解】
根据上文“That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19.(这意味着10比10不算结束,11比10也不算结束。你可能会看到12比10、15比13甚至21比19的最终比分)”可知,此处应描述这种比分带来的感受或特点。B选项“These are often the most exciting games.(这些通常是最激动人心的比赛)”中的These指代上文提到的胶着比分,符合语境,总结了这种比分的比赛特点。

In 2014, Terry led ____40____ international team, which gently caught 31 swifts, placed geolocators on them, and then set them free, hoping they would return.

37. stepped
38. hidden 39. to be exhibited
40. an 41. recognition
42. from 43. dramatically
44. whose 45. what
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍了英国博物学家Terry Townshend对北京雨燕的研究及其迁徙路线,以及该研究对雨燕保护的意义。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:但近年来,这种熟悉的景象开始消失,它们的数量急剧下降。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语in recent years可知,此处要用现在完成时,主语this familiar sight是第三人称单数,所以用has begun。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:英国博物学家Terry Townshend走进了这个故事,他发现这座城市位于候鸟的主要迁徙路线上。此处为完全倒装句,主语是Terry Townshend,为第三人称单数,结合后文discovered可知,此处要用一般过去时。

考查非谓语动词。句意:他的研究使它们非凡的故事得以作为这座古城与其有翼居民之间永恒联系的生动证明而展示出来。此处考查enable sth. to be done结构,意为“使某物被……”,story与exhibit之间是被动关系,所以用to be exhibited。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2014年,Terry带领了一个国际团队,他们轻轻地捕捉了31只雨燕,在它们身上安装了地理定位器,然后将它们放飞,希望它们能回来。international team为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一个国际团队”,为泛指,且international是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:就这样,始于颐和园的信任之举获得了广泛的认可。此处作enjoyed的宾语,要用名词形式,recognize的名词形式为recognition,为不可数名词。

【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:归来的鸟儿展示了一段惊人的旅程:从北京出发,飞行3万公里,穿越中亚沙漠、阿拉伯半岛,沿着非洲海岸到达非洲的越冬地,戏剧性地揭开了北京雨燕跨大陆迁徙的秘密。此处修饰动词unfolding,要用副词形式,dramatic的副词形式为dramatically,意为“戏剧性地”。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:通过绘制它们的飞行路线,Terry帮助人们不再将这些鸟视为天空中未知的小点,而是视为生命跨越大陆的生物。此处为定语从句,先行词是living beings,指人或动物,在从句中作定语,修饰lives,所以用关系代词whose。
【45题详解】
考查连接代词。句意:Terry的地图做到了单凭语言无法做到的事情。此处引导宾语从句,作did的宾语,从句中缺少宾语,结合句意,此处表示“……的事情”,所以用连接代词what。

My brother’s wedding brought us to Mexico City. It was a beautiful place with amazing food, but neither of us spoke Spanish, and we were completely unfamiliar with the local ways. Before the trip, my future sister-in-law had given us strict tips on getting around.
“Never take a red-and-gold taxi. They are often unlicensed and may take you on a wild ride across the city,” she warned seriously. I nodded and kept that in mind.
On the day of the wedding, my mother and I had our hair and makeup done at the hotel. Once ready, we planned to take the hotel bus to the wedding site across the street. We could have walked if not for the heels.
Wearing elegant gowns (礼服), we stood outside our hotel awaiting transport. A coach pulled up and the hotel staff led us into empty seats. We asked the driver if we were bound for the wedding, and the answer was a firm nod. All the other rows were full of people in formal wear, chatting excitedly in Spanish. but I couldn’t understand a single word. Nothing! They were going to my brother’s wedding, I assumed.
But soon, I found we were on a wrong bus — it was for another wedding. My mother panicked and begged to get off, but we were on a busy road where pulling over was impossible. Twenty minutes later, we were left at the driver’s destination. We had no choice but to wait for another ride.
We waited. And waited. Still no sign of a taxi. My mother was in full boil. She was certain she was going to miss her son’s wedding. I was certain we wouldn’t but thought it was going to be tight to get in the pictures before the church. My mother began to sweat, and her smoky eye ran. After what seemed a century, a shabby red-and-gold taxi arrived.
At the sight of it, my mother and I froze instantly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We were sitting nervously when the driver broke the silence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 At the sight of it, my mother and I froze instantly. We both remembered the warning clearly — never take a red-and-gold taxi. My heart raced as I pictured all kinds of terrible things. My mother whispered anxiously that we had no other choice if we didn’t want to miss the wedding. With no taxis in sight and time running out, we had to hold our breath and get in. The inside was clean, and the driver, a middle-aged man with a kind smile, greeted us gently. I nervously told him the church address, my hands shaking slightly.
We were sitting nervously when the driver broke the silence. He spoke simple English and asked why we looked so worried. We explained we were late for my brother’s wedding and had taken the wrong bus. He nodded understandingly and drove steadily and safely through the streets. He even took a shortcut to avoid traffic. Within fifteen minutes, we arrived at the church. We thanked him gratefully and rushed inside, just in time for the wedding photos. It turned out that not every red-and-gold taxi was dangerous, and this driver had saved the day.

Fight climate change while traveling
Whether you’re commuting or vacationing, travel can cause a lot of pollution, for most vehicles are powered by burning gas. As the pie chart illustrates, the transportation sector accounted for a major share of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. Tourism also contributes to climate pollution, with transportation making up the majority of tourism-related emissions.
But that doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling for fun altogether. You can make a difference by focusing on greener transportation options and fuel efficiency.
·Use Greener Transportation
Air travel emissions can be reduced by choosing direct flights or taking the train or a bus instead of flying. Even if a bus is gas-powered, it’s better for the climate than a car because it can transport many people with a single engine. If a car is the best option, consider replacing your traditional car with an electric or hybrid vehicle at the end of its life. (And drive the speed limit!). Clean energy helps avoid additional emissions.
·Focus on Efficiency
If available, minimizes fuel use, saving money and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Drive smart and improve your fuel economy by going easy on the brakes and gas and keeping your car well-maintained.

The light is pouring through the windows as I stare attentively at a violin-shaped piece of wood in my hands. I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed. “Violin making is easy,” my teacher used to joke, “just take away all the bits of wood that aren’t a violin.”
By the time I’m in my workshop holding this piece of wood, I’ve already been up for many hours. I’m an early riser. After coffee, I head out for an hour-long walk with my dog, Eggs. Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape. The violin has become the community’s shared treasure for local folk players to take into the hills and play.
I love walking into my workshop in the morning. My work varies from small adjustments to more extensive work requiring a careful handling of the violin as a historical object. You never know what you’ll find inside an old violin. One of my favorite repairs involved a violin full of cracks. When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past. One read, in beautiful old calligraphic writing: “Le Petit Luthier à Paris, 1825”.
Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker.
4. What’s required to be a violin maker?
A. Good sense of humor. B. Keen eyes and sensitive touch.
C. Good knowledge of technology. D. Rich experience in cutting wood.
5. Why does the author value the film project so much?
A. It is for public welfare. B. It is loved by the folk players.
C. It is highly ranked by experts. D. It was shown in a famous film.
6. What impressed the author most about the old violin she repaired?
A. The fine skill it showed. B. The person who crafted it.
C. Traces of history it carried. D. Severe damage it suffered.
7. What does the author want to convey through his story?
A. Love will find a way. B. Still water runs deep.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. The best things in life are not material.
C
A broader phenomenon swept over the developed Western world in the early 2010s. Rates of depression, anxiety and self-harm rose sharply. Why?
In the summer of 2022, Jonathan Haidt was working on a book project about how smartphones and social media rewired society in the 2010s. He quickly realized that the impact of social media on kids could not be explained in one chapter — it needed a book of its own. Hence, The Anxious Generation is Volume 1, in a sense, of the larger project.
Haidt begins The Anxious Generation by examining adolescent mental health trends. What happened to young people in the early 2010s that caused the rise of anxiety and depression around 2012? He offers an explanation by telling two stories: the decline of play-based childhood and the rise of phone-based childhood. He shows how the “play-based childhood” began to decline in the 1980s, and how it was finally wiped out by the arrival of the “phone-based childhood” in the early 2010s. He presents more than a dozen mechanisms by which this “great rewiring of childhood” has affected children’s social and brain development, covering everything from lack of sleep to divided attention, addiction, loneliness, social comparison, and perfectionism.
Most important, Haidt issues a clear call to action. He explains how parents, school, governments, tech companies, and young people are trapped in “collective action problems”, and then proposes four simple rules that might set us free: giving children far more time for outdoor play with mixed-age groups; involving them in stable real-world communities rather than online networks; delaying smartphones and restricting social media access until at least high school.
He emphasizes that change is possible if society acts together. We cannot afford to ignore his findings about protecting our children — and ourselves — from the psychological damage of a phone-based life.
8. Why did Jonathan Haidt decide to write The Anxious Generation?
A. To expand his original project.
B. To address an issue worth fuller study.
C. To explore how smartphones reshape society.
D. To replace his previous research with a new focus.
9. What does the underlined words “great rewiring ” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The lack of outdoor play.
B. The popularity of social media.
C. The increase of mental illness.
D. The switch from play to phones.
10. What does Haidt emphasize as essential for protecting children?
A. Stabilizing social networks.
B. Banning smartphones before college.
C. Relying mainly on individual parents.
D. Making joint efforts across social groups.
11. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A biography of a famous writer.
B. A book review in a literary magazine.
C. An introduction to a social science book.
D. A psychology research paper in a journal.
D
Pancreatic cancer has become one of the deadliest forms of cancer across the world — it is often called a “silent killer” largely because early detection is so hard. Symptoms rarely appear until the disease has advanced, leaving patients with a five-year survival rate of only about 10 percent.
Now, new research suggests that an AI tool may significantly improve early detection of this deadly disease. In a study published in Nature Medicine, researchers from China found that an AI tool called PANDA, when analyzing routine noncontrast CT scans, could correctly identify 93 percent of people who had pancreatic lesions (病灶).
Contrast CT scans, used to confirm its presence, involve large amounts of radiation, so many experts advise against widespread screening. But lower-radiation alternatives, noncontrast CTs, produce less clearly defined pictures, making it harder for radiologists to identify abnormalities. The tool, developed by researchers with Chinese tech giant Alibaba, was trained to address this by using an AI model to spot potential cancer.
Crucially, this process relies on the AI model being trained on mapped data from contrast scans. The team first asked a radiologist to manually mark the contrast CTs of more than 2,000 known pancreatic patients with the locations of their lesions. The engineers then algorithmically (通过算法) mapped the highlighted lesions onto the same patients’ noncontrast CTs. Those noncontrast scans were then fed to the AI model, so that it could learn to detect potential cancer even in less detailed images.
Still, researchers cautioned that more real-world data was needed to determine whether the tool’s benefits outweigh the risks of false positives and unnecessary testing. Dr. Ajit Goenka of Mayo Clinic stressed the importance of reducing false alarms, noting that hundreds in Ningbo faced unnecessary terror and testing only to find they were healthy. Dr. Diane Simeone of UC San Diego added that the tool might be more useful for trainee doctors than for experienced specialists, but acknowledged it could be a valuable backstop for hospitals lacking specialists.
12. How does the author illustrate cancer’s severity in the first paragraph?
A. By defining a term.
B. By providing statistics.
C. By giving examples.

Pickleball: A Fastest-Growing Sport
Ready to learn how to play pickleball? You’re not alone. ____16____ The International Federation of Pickleball is working to make sure pickleball will be part of the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
____17____ It is played on a badminton-sized court with a net height of 36", using square paddles and a plastic ball similar in size to a tennis ball. The 7-foot area on each side of the net is called “kitchen”, where players aren’t allowed to hit volleys (a shot hit out of the air).
Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve-hitting the ball diagonally (成对角线) to the receiver. It’s not meant to be an overpowering weapon like in tennis. ____18____ And if your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally (对抗), you get the point.
What is the two-bounce rule in pickleball? It means that after a serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before anyone can hit it out of the air. ____19____ If you’re standing close to the net, you can’t legally hit it out of the air because you can only volley once the ball has bounced on each side. Once the two-bounce rule is met, all players are free to move to the kitchen and start volleying.
The game continues until one team gets 11 points. However, they must win by 2. That means 10-10 isn’t over; 11-10 isn’t over. You might see final scores of 12-10, 15-13, or even 21-19. ____20____
A. The sport is tons of fun.
B. These are often the most exciting games.
C. Otherwise, the serving team gains an advantage.
D. Instead, the goal is simply to keep the ball in the air.
E. Pickleball borrows from tennis, badminton and table tennis.
F. That’s why it makes no sense for the serving team to start at the kitchen.
G. Pickleball has more than five million players across 84 countries to date.

My brother’s wedding brought us to Mexico City. It was a beautiful place with amazing food, but neither of us spoke Spanish, and we were completely unfamiliar with the local ways. Before the trip, my future sister-in-law had given us strict tips on getting around.
“Never take a red-and-gold taxi. They are often unlicensed and may take you on a wild ride across the city,” she warned seriously. I nodded and kept that in mind.
On the day of the wedding, my mother and I had our hair and makeup done at the hotel. Once ready, we planned to take the hotel bus to the wedding site across the street. We could have walked if not for the heels.
Wearing elegant gowns (礼服), we stood outside our hotel awaiting transport. A coach pulled up and the hotel staff led us into empty seats. We asked the driver if we were bound for the wedding, and the answer was a firm nod. All the other rows were full of people in formal wear, chatting excitedly in Spanish. but I couldn’t understand a single word. Nothing! They were going to my brother’s wedding, I assumed.
But soon, I found we were on a wrong bus — it was for another wedding. My mother panicked and begged to get off, but we were on a busy road where pulling over was impossible. Twenty minutes later, we were left at the driver’s destination. We had no choice but to wait for another ride.
We waited. And waited. Still no sign of a taxi. My mother was in full boil. She was certain she was going to miss her son’s wedding. I was certain we wouldn’t but thought it was going to be tight to get in the pictures before the church. My mother began to sweat, and her smoky eye ran. After what seemed a century, a shabby red-and-gold taxi arrived.
At the sight of it, my mother and I froze instantly.

We were sitting nervously when the driver broke the silence.
