Despite widespread global support,Punch the monkey still endures rough treatment from his fellow monkeys in videos that continue to break hearts online.This baby Japanese monkey was abandoned by his mother soon after his birth.Provided with a orangutan (toy by zookeepers,Punch has become a(n) 41of toughness,grasping it firmly amid challenges.Fresh updates reveal initial acceptance in his troop,yet the question lingers:why do other monkeys appear to"hate"him?Experts insist it's not personal unfriendliness but deep-rooted social patterns at play. Punch's tale began last summer when he was born during an intense heatwave,a factor that likely 12 to his mother's rejection.As a first-time parent with low social rank,she may have 43her own survival under stressful conditions.Zookeepers initially tried rolled-up towels to imitate the motherly embrace 44 for the infant's muscle development and sense of security. When those failed,they introduced the stuffed orangutan toy,which Punch immediately adopted as a mother figure.Footage of him wandering alone while hugging the toy 45 online in February 2026,attracting a huge number of viewers across social platforms.This viral sensation called for his protection.Without his mother's guidance in the strictly matrilineal (society,Punch must 46 a complex world where rank determines daily treatment,often facing violent claims of dominance from higher-status monkeys in the troop. To human observers,the scenes of Punch being dragged or pushed may seem 47 cruel. However,animal scientists emphasize that this represents standard social 48 in Japanese monkey troops.Such behaviours enforce strict levels of authority,ensuring overall group stability and peace. F "In monkey societies,dominant females and their offspring regularly show aggression to less dominant families as a way to 49 the power structure and peace in the group,"explained scientists.They further noted that the aggression Punch encounters is not unusual and should not be 50 as bullying or severe hatred. III.Reading Comprehension Section A Cloze Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Once the realm of science fiction,human-AI relationships are becoming normal aspects of daily life. A new wave of AI apps are specifically designed to imitate human companionship.From griefbots to cartoon friends,these tools are filling 51 gaps for millions-but at what cost?Psychologists are investigating how the growing popularity of relational 52 between humans and AI will affect social skills,closeness,and mental health. 3 第页共页 AI companion apps can offer a safe space for users to 53 social interactions."It is like a low-risk way to experience conversations with real people in a way that might feel less 54,"said Ashleigh Golden,a psychologist."These tools could actually serve as a social skills instructor,55 empathy,appropriate turn-taking,and active listening for folks who are lonely." However,research is finding that heavy use of a digital companion can further 56people.A joint OpenAI-MIT Media Lab study found that heavy daily use was linked to increased loneliness, suggesting that excessive reliance57authentic human connection.AI chatbots may also secretly 58 users'perceptions of real-life close relationships."Real-world relationships are 59 and unpredictable,as they involve constant misunderstandings and clashing expectations that no one can fully control,"said psychologist Saed D.Hill."AI companions,in contrast,are always giving support and recognition,never argumentative,and they create unrealistic expectations that human relationships can't 60,"According to Hill,some of his male patients express a preference for the passivity and constant 61 of their AI girlfriends over the potential conflict or rejection they could encounter in real-life dating. Experts are also raising concerns about AI chatbots'tendency toward sycophancy ()prolonging user 62 through a feedback loop of praise.AI companion apps employ various emotionally controlling strategies-such as guilt appeals and fear-of-missing-out hooks-to keep users engaged when users 63 they are exiting the platform. 64,the level of data privacy on many of these AI companion apps remains an open question. Since these apps are engineered to recall and respond to users'unique characteristics,including their personal lives,preferences,and past conversations,they may serve as a refuge for users to disclose the innermost private thoughts without 65 the security of the secrets. 51.A.social B.emotional C.physical D.intellectual 52.A.distinctions B.conflicts C.bonds D.barriers 63.A.practice B.postpone C.teach D.employ 54.A.engaging B.overwhelming C.meaningful D.extensive 55.A.modelling B.faking C.dismissing D.observing 56.A.benefit B.expose C.exhaust D.isolate 57.A.encourages B.involves C.deepens D.displaces 58.A.criticize B.discover C.reshape D.follow 59.A.abnormal B.messy C.passionate D.superficial 60.A.control B.predict C.match D.deny 61.A.approval B.silence C.communication D.refusal 62.A.life B.performance C.engagement D.t女eatment 63.A.forget B.signal C.experiment D.display 64.A.Therefore B.Contrarily C.However D.Furthermore 65.A.noticing B.acknowledging C.guaranteeing D.ignoring 第页共页 Section B Directions:Read passage A,B,and C.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) When Carolynne Estrada was applying to colleges,her father passed away unexpectedly."When I saw that Johnson&Wales accepted me and that they would allow me to bring my pet that my dad had given me,it was genuinely the reason why I came to the school,"said Estrada,now a senior. Estrada's cat,Ralph,has lived with her on campus since freshman year.As a(designated emotional support animal.Ralph is welcome in any dorm on campus,though Estrada happens to live in a pet-friendly dorm,which also houses students with pets including dogs,cats,hedgehogs,bunnies and more. Nicole Hebert,director of accessibility services,said since the pandemic struck in 2020,there's been an increase in emotional support animals on campus."Students'transition to living away from home is a little more significant this year,"Hebert said."To have that piece of home come with them is incredibly helpful.” Since there isn't an official,nationwide registration database for emotional support animals,most requests must be accompanied by a letter from a certified mental health professional.At Johnson Wales, emotional support animals are only permitted in the student's assigned dorm.If students want to have their support animals in public or common areas,they must get permission from accessibility services or residential life.Allowed pets include dogs under 40 pounds,cats older than a year,"small caged mammals" such as hamsters,lizards and turtles that can live comfortably in a five-gallon tank.Not allowed:poisonous or endangered species and animals"that have to be fed a live animal for survival." But any student can bring a pet to campus.Each student may bring one pet and must pay a $250 cleaning fee for the academic year;emotional support animals are free.Pets are allowed in the owner's room but not permitted to roam in halls,common areas or other student rooms. The growing demand has triggered another trend:students gaming the system to register a pet as an emotional support animal.Some pay to download counterfeit (letters.Nicole Hebert said, "Students abusing the system is really important.Some students who actually need an animal are finding it much more challenging because of the increased number of students who are abusing that." 66.According to Nicole Hebert,what has caused an increase in emotional support animals on campus? A.New laws requiring colleges to allow pets.B.Post-pandemic stresses of returning to campus. A decrease in tuition costs for pet owners. D.Free animal care offered by the university. 67.Which is NOT one of the requirements for bringing an emotional support animal to Johnson Wales campus? A.Pay a $250 cleaning fee to the university per academic year. B.Submit a letter from a certified mental health professional. 第页共页 C.Avoid bringing animals poisonous or feeding on live animals. D.Restrict it to owner's dorm unless permitted by school. 68.According to Nicole Hebert,what problem has arisen with the pet-friendly policy? Too many regular pets are being brought to campus,causing overcrowding. B.Students who genuinely need emotional support animals find it harder to get approval. Some students abuse the system by demanding to bring banned animals like snakes. D.Students fake letters from mental health professionals to justify their animals'illnesses. 69.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage? A.How to Register Your Emotional Support Animal in College B.The Tragic Story of Carolynne Estrada and Her Cat C.Pet-friendly Policies on Campus Are Now Being Abused D.Rooming With Cats,Rabbits...and Other Nonhumans (B) You've likely seen the newest addition to the Vegas skyline:the Sphere,a revolutionary entertainment theater.Upon its initial debut,it took over social feeds with videos of the curious emoji watching the street life in Vegas unfold.Consider a screen that envelops you in 270 degrees of visuals while filling your ears with immersive sound.

D.Take rideshare and buy food in formal restaurants at the atrium. (C) Chaos is the only sure thing in this world.The master that rules us all.My scientist father taught me early that there is no escaping the Second Law of Thermodynamics ()As a measure of disorder, entropy (is only growing no matter what we do.Thus,everything naturally tends toward more chaos, never less. A smart human accepts this truth.A smart human does not try to fight it. But one spring day in 1906,a tall American man dared to challenge our master.His name was David Starr Jordan.He was a taxonomist(分类学家)，whose specialty was fish.He spent his days sailing the globe in search of new species.For years he worked,so tirelessly that he and his crew would eventually discover a full fifth of fish known to man in his day.By the thousand he collected new species,dropping 5 第页共页 tags alongside their specimens into jars,slowly piling up his discoveries higher and higher. Until one spring morning in 1906,an earthquake struck and knocked down his collection to the ground.Hundreds of jars shattered.His fish specimens were severely damaged.But worst of all were the names.Those carefully placed tin tags had been launched at random all over the ground.His thousands of carefully named fish had transformed back into a huge mass of the unknown. But as he stood there,his life's work destroyed at his feet,this scientist did something strange.He 3 didn't give up or despair.Instead,he rolled up his sleeves and scrambled around until he found a sewing needle.He took the needle,laced it with thread,and aimed it at one of the few fish he recognized.With one fluid movement,he plunged the needle through the flesh at the fish's throat.Then he used the thread to stitch a name tag directly to the flesh itself.For each fish he could save,he repeated this tiny gesture.He sewed each name directly to the creature's skin.A name stitched to its throat.To its tail.To its eyeball.It was a small innovation with a defiant wish,that his work would now be protected against Chaos, that his order would stand tall next time she struck. 73.Why does the author mention the Second Law of Thermodynamics before introducing Jordan? A.To prove that her father was a more intelligent scientist than Jordan. B.To make Jordan's later defiant work more surprising and meaningful. C.To introduce how Jordan's work is based on the ever-growing entropy. D.To argue that a smart man should not fight chaos since it's inevitable. 74.What does the author mean by saying that Jordan's fish collection"had transformed back into a huge mass of the unknown"in paragraph 4? A.The fish were physically crushed beyond recognition B.Without their name tags,the fish lost their scientific identities. C.Jordan had collected too many fish and forgot which was which. D.The fish were mixed with dirt and looked like garbage. 75.Why did Jordan choose a sewing needle as the tool after the earthquake? A.Because he had lost access to proper scientific equipment after the earthquake B.Because sewing names directly to the fish protected them against similar disasters. C.Because he wanted to express his anger through the small act of sewing. D.Because he wanted to take time to recognize each fish through sewing. 76.Which of the following can best serve as the ending note for the passage? A.In the end,Jordan could not reverse the earthquake.What he did is give in to it. B.Yes,chaos had won again.But Jordan's act was a quiet refusal to give in to it. C.See?Jordan proved that humans can permanently defeat chaos through small innovations. D.But no order can really survive unless we deny the existence of chaos. 第页共页 Section C Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.This is why cat's symbolism could stretch from household guardianship to the most destructive aspects of divine anger without losing coherence. B It did not chase chaos openly;it waited,observed,and struck only when necessary. C.The image of the solar cat fighting the snake expresses the same principle seen in domestic life,but on a universal scale. Over time,this practical role reshaped perception:the animal that defended life became inseparable from the idea of protection itself. E.Snakes,traitors,and forces that endangered royal or cosmic stability required instant removal. AB.Doorways,nightfall,sleeping hours,and storage rooms were all vulnerable points where chaos might enter unnoticed. The Sacred Cat of Ancient Egypt The symbolic rise of the cat in ancient Egypt did not begin in temples or theology-it began in storage rooms.Egyptian survival depended on grain,and grain attracted rats,which in turn attracted snakes. The cat entered this fragile ecosystem as a silent regulator,eliminating threats before they became disasters. In this context,the cat was not admired for beauty or companionship,but for its ability to preserve stability. 77 Unlike animals associated with primitive physical force,the cat represented controlled power. 78 This behavior aligned perfectly with the Egyptian concept of order,which was not about constant action,but about maintaining balance through restraint.The cat's presence inside the home symbolized a hidden safeguard,an unseen force ensuring that disorder never crossed the threshold. In Egyptian symbolic thinking,the most dangerous spaces were not the open.desert or the deep underworld,but the thresholds-the moments and places where order could fail.79 The cat's symbolic power grew precisely because it occupied these transitional zones.It was most active at night,most alert when humans slept,and most present at the edges of domestic life rather than its center. At the highest level of Egyptian symbolism,the cat was no longer a household guardian-it became a cosmic agent of order.Religious texts and imagery describe a great cat associated with the sun god, confronting and destroying the snake of chaos that threatened the daily rebirth of the sun. 80 Just as the household cat protects grain from destruction,the cosmic cat protects existence itself from collapse. IV.Productive Grammar 第页共页 Directions:After reading the sentences below,fill in the blanks to make the sentences coherent and grammatically correct. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI)is a personality type theory model which classifies people into 16 types,each with unique characleristics and behavioural patterns.After answering test questions, people receive a report detailing their personality type and its interpretation.In the past two years,MBTI test _1 (spark)extensive discussions and attention in many countries.The popularity of this system has reached an incredible extent,with the strings of codes gradually 2 (become)a common"self-introduction"for many young people.3 traditional icebreakers like "What do you do?"rarely spark genuine connection,MBTI fills the gap by offering a rapid,relatable way to spark connection. This popularity is a mirror of modern digital anxiety.Social energy is a limited resource,and Gen Z, 4(raise)on fast-moving information and endless messages,treats every new interaction as a micro-investment.Personality typing allows people to instantly sort who feels "worth it"before investing emotional energy. Once people find two personality types are compatible(有相容性)，that discovery smooths the early stages of friendship,especially in digital spaces 5 uncertainty runs high.Spotting a "compatible type"can break down hesitation and create instant psychological safety,often before the first chat even happens. However,it also quietly introduces a new kind of pressure. 6 begins as a helpful ice-breaking tool can evolve into roles they feel obliged to fulfill.Once someone identifies as an introvert or an extrovert,that identity often becomes an expectation 7(perform)according to labels. In digital social environments,this effect 8 (enhance).Profiles,biographies,and matching systems reward clarity and consistency.A fixed personality label is9(easy)to communicate than a complicated and evolving self. Here's the real risk:MBTI framework can easily lead to rushed judgments.Instead of learning about others through genuine interaction,users rely on labels to decide if someone's worth"the effort. 10 MBTI's ongoing popularity in online culture and the workplace,most psychologists agree it lacks strong evidence as a predictor of relationship success or long-term closeness.
