The American poet Louise Glück, whose work mainly explores difficult human emotions, has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Committee praised her “unique mythological perspective that makes individual feelings universal,” describing her as “a poet of fundamental change and rebirth, where the leap forward is made from a deep sense of loss.”
Glück, 77, learned the news by phone early Thursday morning. She said after the call she was still in a state of “astoundment,” with photographers gathered outside her home. Recalling the conversation with a Nobel Committee member, she said, “I almost cried, and it seemed to me unbelievable that they would choose an American poet.”
Glück’s poetry frequently draws on mythological language, using figures like Persephone to represent personal transformation. Nobel Committee chairman Anders Olsson pointed out her seemingly natural style and direct images of painful family relationships. Laureate Robert Pinsky, a U.S. poet, admired her intelligence and sharp writing style. Harvard professor Stephanie Burt noted that Glück’ poems are known for their free verse and honest expression.
Born in New York in 1943, Glück published her first collection in 1968, quickly building her reputation for using simple language to explore deep human concerns like loneliness and loss. At Yale, where she was a professor, she worked closely with young students as a judge for the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize, setting the tone for their works later. Colleague Langdon Hammer said, “She’s someone who has a deep vocation as a teacher with a calling.” Over the decades, Glück has become one of America’s most celebrated poets, winning US Poet in 2003-04 and a National Humanities Medal in 2015.
4. What does Glück’s poetry focus on according to the first paragraph?
A. Human emotions. B. Mythological themes.
C. Social changes. D. Unsolved mysteries.
5. What does the underlined word “astoundment” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Calmness and indifference. B. Inspiration and amusement.
C. Shock and excitement. D. Nervousness and worry.
6. Why are these academics’ comments mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Glück’s family relationship. B. To stress Glück’s writing style.
C. To introduce Glück’s education background. D. To show Glück’s transformation.
7. What can we infer about Glück as a teacher?
A. She influenced her students’ works. B. She won prizes as a teaching expert.
C. She worked at several universities. D. She called on students to be judges.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】

【5题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第二段“Glück, 77, learned the news by phone early Thursday morning. She said after the call she was still in a state of ‘astoundment,’ with photographers gathered outside her home. Recalling the conversation with a Nobel Committee member, she said, ‘I almost cried, and it seemed to me unbelievable that they would choose an American poet.’ (77岁的格鲁克于周四清晨通过电话得知了这一消息。她在通话后表示自己仍处于‘astoundment’状态,摄影师聚集在她家门外。回忆起与诺贝尔奖委员会成员的谈话时,她说:‘我差点哭了,在我看来他们选择一个美国诗人是不可思议的。’)”可知,得知获奖消息时她情绪激动,甚至差点流泪,并感到难以置信,这说明她处于震惊和激动的状态。“astoundment”意为“震惊”,与“Shock and excitement”意思相近。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第三段中的“Nobel Committee chairman Anders Olsson pointed out her seemingly natural style and direct images of painful family relationships. Laureate Robert Pinsky, a U.S. poet, admired her intelligence and sharp writing style. Harvard professor Stephanie Burt noted that Glück’ poems are known for their free verse and honest expression. (诺贝尔委员会主席Anders Olsson指出了她看似自然的风格和对痛苦家庭关系的直接描写。美国桂冠诗人Robert Pinsky赞赏她的智慧和犀利的写作风格。哈佛教授Stephanie Burt指出Glück的诗歌以自由诗体和诚实表达著称。)”可知,这些学者的评论都在强调Glück的写作风格——自然、犀利、自由诗体和诚实表达。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段中的“At Yale, where she was a professor, she worked closely with young students as a judge for the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize, setting the tone for their works later. Colleague Langdon Hammer said, ‘She’s someone who has a deep vocation as a teacher with a calling.’ (在耶鲁大学担任教授期间,她作为耶鲁青年诗人系列奖的评委与年轻学生密切合作,为他们后来的作品定下了基调。同事Langdon Hammer说:‘她是一位有着使命感、具有深厚天职感的教师。’)”可知,Glück作为评委为年轻诗人的作品定下基调,说明她影响了学生们的创作。

What if your daily habits in your twenties could predict how long you will live? A recent study suggests that, at least for one species of fish, this might be the case. Scientists have discovered that sleep patterns and activity levels in youth can serve as reliable indicators of future lifespan in the African turquoise killifish, a small species known for its unusually short life.
The research team tracked 81 killifish from their adolescence all the way to death. Using an automated video system, they captured the fishes’ every movement 24 hours a day throughout their entire lives. To make sense of the massive amount of data, the researchers built a machine-learning model to identify patterns in various behavioral characteristics, such as movement frequency, swimming speed and rest periods.
The results were striking. At the age of 100 days — which equals roughly the early middle age for killifish — individuals that would eventually live longer (surviving beyond 200 days) were, on average, more active and faster-moving than those with shorter lives. The long-lived fish also showed a clear preference for sleeping during the night, while the short-lived ones were more likely to take naps during the daytime. These behavioral differences emerged long before any visible signs of aging or disease appeared.
According to a neuroscientist who was not involved in the study, these findings suggest that even early-adulthood behavior can offer clues about how aging will unfold. The study raises the exciting possibility that scientists might one day be able to estimate an individual’s biological age and predict lifespan long before traditional markers of aging become apparent.
However, the researchers caution that applying these findings to humans remains a distant goal. Tracking every single movement over an entire human lifetime is currently impossible, and the relationship between behavior, aging and lifespan in people is far more complex. Nevertheless, the study opens new doors for aging research, particularly in testing how lifestyle interventions (干预) might influence longevity.
8. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By making a comparison. B. By providing data.
C. By reporting a discovery. D. By defining a term.
9. What was special about the long-lived killifish in their early adulthood?
A. They were shorter in length. B. They moved at a slower speed.
C. They took naps in daylight. D. They preferred to sleep at night.
10. What is a challenge of applying the findings?
A. Tracking lifetime human movements. B. Testing lifestyle interventions.
C. Simplifying human aging patterns. D. Picking out the key factors.
11. What can be a best title for the text?
A. Daily Habits Decide Your Characters B. Youth Behaviors Predict Lifespan
C. Enough Sleep Contributes to Long Life D. Machine Learning Unlocks Aging
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家针对非洲蓝鳉鱼的一项研究。研究发现,这种鱼类在青年时期的睡眠模式和活动水平可以作为预测其未来寿命的可靠指标,这为衰老研究提供了新视角,但也指出了将该发现应用于人类的挑战。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段中的“What if your daily habits in your twenties could predict how long you will live? A recent study suggests that, at least for one species of fish, this might be the case. (如果你二十多岁的日常习惯能预测你能活多久会怎样?最近的一项研究表明,至少对一种鱼类来说,情况可能是这样。)”可知,作者通过讲述一项科学发现引出文章话题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“The long-lived fish also showed a clear preference for sleeping during the night, while the short-lived ones were more likely to take naps during the daytime. (长寿的鱼还表现出明显的夜间睡眠偏好,而短寿的鱼则更可能在白天小睡。)”可知,长寿鳉鱼成年早期的特点是偏爱夜间睡眠。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中的“Tracking every single movement over an entire human lifetime is currently impossible, and the relationship between behavior, aging and lifespan in people is far more complex. (目前不可能追踪整个人类一生的每一个动作,而且人的行为、衰老和寿命之间的关系要复杂得多。)”可知,将这些发现应用于人类的一个主要挑战是追踪人类一生的运动轨迹。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Scientists have discovered that sleep patterns and activity levels in youth can serve as reliable indicators of future lifespan in the African turquoise killifish, a small species known for its unusually short life. (科学家们发现,非洲蓝鳉鱼(一种以寿命异常短暂而闻名的小型鱼类)在幼年时期的睡眠模式和活动水平,可作为其未来寿命的可靠指标。)”以及后文内容可知,文章开篇提出日常习惯能否预测寿命的问题,接着介绍鳉鱼幼年行为可预判寿命的研究,后文围绕该研究意义、局限和研究价值展开,全文核心是幼年行为可预测寿命。B项“Youth Behaviors Predict Lifespan (幼年行为预测寿命)”最贴合文章主旨,适合作为标题。
D
For decades, cancer research has been disturbed by a persistent problem: the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) often excludes diverse populations. Many medical datasets are overwhelmingly collected from patients of European descent (血统), meaning AI models learn to diagnose and treat cancer depending on a narrow slice of humanity. This lack of diversity can lead to misdiagnosis or ineffective treatment for underrepresented groups.
Now, a team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a novel technique that uses generative AI to address this inequality head-on. Instead of simply getting rid of biased data, their model creates synthetic (合成的) medical images — such as breast cancer scans — that are based on the characteristics of real patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. These synthetic images are not of real people; they are digitally generated representations designed to fill the gaps in existing datasets.
The potential is transformative. By training diagnostic AI on a more balanced dataset enriched with these synthetic images, the system’s accuracy across all population groups improves significantly. Early tests show that the technique can reduce a form of algorithmic bias known as “underspecification,” where models perform well on paper but fail in real-world, diverse clinical settings. “We are not just fixing the data; we are fundamentally re-engineering the fairness of the model.” explains lead researcher Dr. Sarah Chen.
However, the method is a double-edged sword. While it can “unbias” data, the very same technology could be weaponized to increase bias. If an ill-intentioned researcher uses the same technique to generate synthetic data that over-represents a particular group or leads to harmful stereotypes (刻板印象), it could create AI models that are even more prejudiced than those trained on real-world data. The line between correcting historical unfairness and creating new, synthetic ones is pretty thin.
This concern places a significant ethical burden on researchers. What should be confirmed is no longer the accuracy of an AI model but the ethical soundness. After all, in the scientists’ eyes it can promise fairer healthcare in the years to come.
12. What problem has puzzled researchers in cancer treatment?
A. High cost of collecting data. B. Overuse of AI in diagnosis.
C. Biased data sampling. D. Misdiagnosis for patients.
13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The principle of the technique. B. The process of the representation.
C. The purpose of the study. D. The achievements of the design.
14. What is Dr. Sarah Chen’s attitude towards the new method?
A. Objective. B. Worried. C. Optimistic D. Doubtful.
15. What should future scientists pay attention to when using AI models?
A. Getting rid of the concern. B. Creating more training images.
C. Checking for ethical risks. D. Avoiding negative stereotypes.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For decades, cancer research has been disturbed by a persistent problem: the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) often excludes diverse populations. Many medical datasets are overwhelmingly collected from patients of European descent (血统), meaning AI models learn to diagnose and treat cancer depending on a narrow slice of humanity. (几十年来,癌症研究一直被一个顽固的问题困扰:用于训练人工智能的数据往往排除了多样化的人群。许多医疗数据集绝大多数来自欧洲血统的患者,这意味着人工智能模型是在人类的一个狭窄切片上进行癌症诊断和治疗的。)”可知,困扰癌症治疗研究人员的核心问题是数据采样存在偏见,缺乏多样性。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段首句“Now, a team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a novel technique that uses generative AI to address this inequality head-on. (现在,麻省理工学院计算机科学与人工智能实验室的一个团队开发了一种新技术,利用生成式人工智能正面解决这种不平等。)”点明了段落主旨;随后进一步说明:“Instead of simply getting rid of biased data, their model creates synthetic (合成的) medical images — such as breast cancer scans — that are based on the characteristics of real patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. (他们的模型不是简单地剔除有偏差的数据,而是创造合成医学图像——如乳腺癌扫描图像——这些图像基于来自不同种族和民族背景的真实患者的特征。)”可知,本段整体围绕这项技术的运作原理展开介绍。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Dr. Chen所说的“We are not just fixing the data; we are fundamentally re-engineering the fairness of the model. (我们不仅仅是在修复数据;我们从根本上重新设计了模型的公平性。)”可知,Dr. Chen对这项新方法持积极乐观的态度,认为它能从根本上重新设计模型的公平性,而不仅仅是修补数据。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This concern places a significant ethical burden on researchers. What should be confirmed is no longer the accuracy of an AI model but the ethical soundness. (这种担忧给研究人员带来了重大的伦理负担。现在需要确认的不再是人工智能模型的准确性,而是其伦理合理性。)”可知,未来的科学家在使用人工智能模型时应关注伦理风险的核查。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a world crazy about grades and rankings, it’s easy to define our worth by external outcomes. However, psychologist Carol Dweck’s concept of “mindset” offers a different path. She distinguishes between a fixed mindset (the belief that our intelligence is stable) and a growth mindset (the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work). ____16____ They shape our relationship with challenges and effort.
So, how does this play out in daily life? The answer lies in how we handle difficulties. Those with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges, fearing that failure might expose a lack of intelligence. ____17____ They understand that struggle is not a sign of weakness but an essential part of mastering something new. For them, effort is what actually strengthens their abilities.
This perspective is backed by neuroscience. ____18____ When we step out of our comfort zone and tackle difficult problems, our brain forms new neural connections. This process, known as neuroplasticity, proves that we can literally make ourselves smarter through learning and practice.
How can we develop this mindset? Start by listening to your inner voice. When you think, “I can’t do this,” add one simple word: “yet” ____19____ It transforms a statement of limitation into a promise of future potential. This small shift in self-talk can be the first step toward embracing lifelong growth.
Ultimately, a growth mindset frees us from the need for constant confirmation. It allows us to see setbacks not as judgments of our worth, but as valuable feedback. ____20____ We begin to value the process of learning itself, finding joy in the journey of improvement rather than just the final destination.
A. This tiny word implies that learning is a gradual process.
B. However, the other group of people do exactly the opposite.
C. There is a scientific explanation for why this mindset works.
D. These two mindsets fundamentally alter how we view ourselves.
E. They firmly believe that true potential is unknown and achievable.
F. Therefore, we should avoid difficult tasks to protect our self-esteem.
G. It also helps us separate our core identity from the outcomes we experience.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了心理学家Carol Dweck提出的“成长型思维模式”概念,阐述了固定型思维与成长型思维的区别,并从日常生活表现、神经科学依据、培养方法和最终价值四个方面进行了详细说明。
【16题详解】
上文“However, psychologist Carol Dweck’s concept of “mindset” offers a different path. She distinguishes between a fixed mindset (the belief that our intelligence is stable) and a growth mindset (the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work). (然而,心理学家Carol Dweck提出的“心态”概念提供了另一种思路。她区分了固定型思维(认为我们的智力是稳定的)和成长型思维(认为能力可以通过专注和努力来发展)。)”介绍了Carol Dweck区分的两种思维模式——固定型思维(认为智力是稳定的)和成长型思维(认为能力可通过努力发展)。下文“They shape our relationship with challenges and effort. (它们塑造了我们与挑战和努力的关系。)”中的“They”指代前文提到的两种思维。D选项“These two mindsets fundamentally alter how we view ourselves. (这两种思维模式从根本上改变了我们看待自己的方式。)”中“These two mindsets”恰好指代上文的两种思维,“alter how we view ourselves”与下文“shape our relationship with challenges and effort”形成递进补充关系。
【17题详解】
上文“Those with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges, fearing that failure might expose a lack of intelligence. (固定型思维的人倾向于回避挑战,害怕失败暴露智力不足。)”描述了固定型思维者的表现。下文“They understand that struggle is not a sign of weakness but an essential part of mastering something new. (他们明白挣扎不是软弱的标志,而是掌握新事物的重要部分。)”描述的是另一类人——成长型思维者。B选项“However, the other group of people do exactly the opposite. (然而,另一群人的做法完全相反。)”中“However”形成转折,“the other group”与上文“Those with a fixed mindset”形成对比,“do exactly the opposite”自然引出下文成长型思维者的积极态度。
【18题详解】
上文“This perspective is backed by neuroscience. (这一观点有神经科学的支持。)”引出科学依据。下文“When we step out of our comfort zone and tackle difficult problems, our brain forms new neural connections. (当我们走出舒适区解决难题时,大脑会形成新的神经连接。)”开始具体解释科学原理。C选项“There is a scientific explanation for why this mindset works. (这种思维模式之所以有效,有科学的解释。)”承上启下,既呼应上文“neuroscience”,又引出下文关于神经可塑性的具体解释。
【19题详解】
上文“When you think, ‘I can’t do this,' add one simple word: ‘yet’ (当你想‘我做不到’时,加一个简单的词:‘还’)”介绍了在自我对话中加“yet”的技巧。下文“It transforms a statement of limitation into a promise of future potential. (它将限制性陈述转化为对未来潜力的承诺。)”说明了这一技巧的效果。A选项“This tiny word implies that learning is a gradual process. (这个小小的词暗示学习是一个渐进的过程。)”中“This tiny word”指代上文的“yet”,解释了为什么加“yet”能将“做不到”转化为“还做不到但未来可以”,与下文“transforms a statement of limitation into a promise of future potential”逻辑一致。
【20题详解】
上文“It allows us to see setbacks not as judgments of our worth, but as valuable feedback. (它让我们将挫折视为有价值的反馈,而非对自身价值的评判。)”阐述了成长型思维的一个好处。下文“We begin to value the process of learning itself, finding joy in the journey of improvement rather than just the final destination. (我们开始重视学习过程本身,在进步的旅途中找到乐趣,而非只关注最终结果。)”是在讲另一个好处。G选项“It also helps us separate our core identity from the outcomes we experience. (它还帮助我们将核心身份与所经历的结果分开。)”中“also”表示递进,补充了成长型思维的另一重要作用——将自我认同与外在结果剥离,这与下文“value the process of learning itself, finding joy in the journey of improvement rather than just the final destination.”形成呼应。

47. 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。
If someone had told me in June that I would take part in a marathon event, I would have laughed. Yet there I was on an October morning with a medal around my neck.
Okay, it was only the 4.2K race, and I walked more than I ran. But I still did it.
Did I mention that I weigh around 300 pounds? I also have asthma, but medication helps. What’s more, I live with four anxiety disorders. Social anxiety makes me deadly afraid of people’s judgment. But in August, I decided that registering for the 4.2K event of our local marathon would be a great motivator to get in shape. So I signed up and started walking every day. I told only a few people — my family and some trusted friends.
Training went well until mid-September, when work got so exhausting that I could barely do anything. Still, I kept going. The real struggle came when I went to pick up my race number. I kept wondering what others would think. I didn’t have the usual runner’s profile. When I saw the T-shirt table, I turned away quickly. There were no shirts that would fit me. That made me doubt myself again. What was I doing here? The 4.2K was the “popular event,” with families and young children. But I was willing to bet that not many obese people had registered.
The night before the race, I had nightmares. When I woke up, I considered not going. Then I realized I had forgotten to wash my best running pants. Walmart opened at 8 a. m., and the race wasn’t until 10 a. m. I drove there, bought a pair, and headed to the starting line.
Once there, I quickly found that people didn’t really care about me; they were focused on their own experience. That relaxed me a little, but not completely. Soon I found myself at the back of the pack. Those real athletes must be wondering what I was doing there. But it was too late to turn back. I started walking, my earphones playing loud music to drown out possible hurtful comments.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, it turned out that the voices I was afraid of never came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finally crossed the finish line, I heard someone calling my name.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 However, it turned out that the voices I was afraid of never came. Instead, a woman running past smiled and said, “You’ve got this!” A man with two kids pointed at me and told them, “Look how hard she’s trying.” My eyes stung — not from sweat, but from unexpected warmth. I began to run short stretches between walks, my breath ragged but my spirit lifting. The pack thinned, but volunteers along the route clapped for every straggler. “Almost there!” they called. For the first time, I didn’t feel like an imposter; I felt like a runner.
When I finally crossed the finish line, I heard someone calling my name. My sister waved wildly from the sidelines, tears streaming down her face. My friends held a handmade sign: “300 POUNDS OF COURAGE.” A volunteer hung the medal around my neck, and I clutched it, gasping, grinning, sobbing all at once. That medal wasn’t for speed or grace; it was for showing up when every instinct screamed to hide. I had outrun not the clock, but the prison of my own fears. And that, I realized, was the real finish line.

The American poet Louise Glück, whose work mainly explores difficult human emotions, has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Nobel Committee praised her “unique mythological perspective that makes individual feelings universal,” describing her as “a poet of fundamental change and rebirth, where the leap forward is made from a deep sense of loss.”
Glück, 77, learned the news by phone early Thursday morning. She said after the call she was still in a state of “astoundment,” with photographers gathered outside her home. Recalling the conversation with a Nobel Committee member, she said, “I almost cried, and it seemed to me unbelievable that they would choose an American poet.”
Glück’s poetry frequently draws on mythological language, using figures like Persephone to represent personal transformation. Nobel Committee chairman Anders Olsson pointed out her seemingly natural style and direct images of painful family relationships. Laureate Robert Pinsky, a U.S. poet, admired her intelligence and sharp writing style. Harvard professor Stephanie Burt noted that Glück’ poems are known for their free verse and honest expression.
Born in New York in 1943, Glück published her first collection in 1968, quickly building her reputation for using simple language to explore deep human concerns like loneliness and loss. At Yale, where she was a professor, she worked closely with young students as a judge for the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize, setting the tone for their works later. Colleague Langdon Hammer said, “She’s someone who has a deep vocation as a teacher with a calling.” Over the decades, Glück has become one of America’s most celebrated poets, winning US Poet in 2003-04 and a National Humanities Medal in 2015.
4. What does Glück’s poetry focus on according to the first paragraph?
A. Human emotions. B. Mythological themes.
C. Social changes. D. Unsolved mysteries.
5. What does the underlined word “astoundment” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Calmness and indifference. B. Inspiration and amusement.
C. Shock and excitement. D. Nervousness and worry.
6. Why are these academics’ comments mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To reveal Glück’s family relationship. B. To stress Glück’s writing style.
C. To introduce Glück’s education background. D. To show Glück’s transformation.
7. What can we infer about Glück as a teacher?
A. She influenced her students’ works. B. She won prizes as a teaching expert.
C. She worked at several universities. D. She called on students to be judges.

What if your daily habits in your twenties could predict how long you will live? A recent study suggests that, at least for one species of fish, this might be the case. Scientists have discovered that sleep patterns and activity levels in youth can serve as reliable indicators of future lifespan in the African turquoise killifish, a small species known for its unusually short life.
The research team tracked 81 killifish from their adolescence all the way to death. Using an automated video system, they captured the fishes’ every movement 24 hours a day throughout their entire lives. To make sense of the massive amount of data, the researchers built a machine-learning model to identify patterns in various behavioral characteristics, such as movement frequency, swimming speed and rest periods.
The results were striking. At the age of 100 days — which equals roughly the early middle age for killifish — individuals that would eventually live longer (surviving beyond 200 days) were, on average, more active and faster-moving than those with shorter lives. The long-lived fish also showed a clear preference for sleeping during the night, while the short-lived ones were more likely to take naps during the daytime. These behavioral differences emerged long before any visible signs of aging or disease appeared.
According to a neuroscientist who was not involved in the study, these findings suggest that even early-adulthood behavior can offer clues about how aging will unfold. The study raises the exciting possibility that scientists might one day be able to estimate an individual’s biological age and predict lifespan long before traditional markers of aging become apparent.
However, the researchers caution that applying these findings to humans remains a distant goal. Tracking every single movement over an entire human lifetime is currently impossible, and the relationship between behavior, aging and lifespan in people is far more complex. Nevertheless, the study opens new doors for aging research, particularly in testing how lifestyle interventions (干预) might influence longevity.
8. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By making a comparison. B. By providing data.
C. By reporting a discovery. D. By defining a term.
9. What was special about the long-lived killifish in their early adulthood?
A. They were shorter in length. B. They moved at a slower speed.
C. They took naps in daylight. D. They preferred to sleep at night.
10. What is a challenge of applying the findings?
A. Tracking lifetime human movements. B. Testing lifestyle interventions.
C. Simplifying human aging patterns. D. Picking out the key factors.
11. What can be a best title for the text?
A. Daily Habits Decide Your Characters B. Youth Behaviors Predict Lifespan
C. Enough Sleep Contributes to Long Life D. Machine Learning Unlocks Aging
D
For decades, cancer research has been disturbed by a persistent problem: the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) often excludes diverse populations. Many medical datasets are overwhelmingly collected from patients of European descent (血统), meaning AI models learn to diagnose and treat cancer depending on a narrow slice of humanity. This lack of diversity can lead to misdiagnosis or ineffective treatment for underrepresented groups.
Now, a team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a novel technique that uses generative AI to address this inequality head-on. Instead of simply getting rid of biased data, their model creates synthetic (合成的) medical images — such as breast cancer scans — that are based on the characteristics of real patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. These synthetic images are not of real people; they are digitally generated representations designed to fill the gaps in existing datasets.
The potential is transformative. By training diagnostic AI on a more balanced dataset enriched with these synthetic images, the system’s accuracy across all population groups improves significantly. Early tests show that the technique can reduce a form of algorithmic bias known as “underspecification,” where models perform well on paper but fail in real-world, diverse clinical settings. “We are not just fixing the data; we are fundamentally re-engineering the fairness of the model.” explains lead researcher Dr. Sarah Chen.
However, the method is a double-edged sword. While it can “unbias” data, the very same technology could be weaponized to increase bias. If an ill-intentioned researcher uses the same technique to generate synthetic data that over-represents a particular group or leads to harmful stereotypes (刻板印象), it could create AI models that are even more prejudiced than those trained on real-world data. The line between correcting historical unfairness and creating new, synthetic ones is pretty thin.
This concern places a significant ethical burden on researchers. What should be confirmed is no longer the accuracy of an AI model but the ethical soundness. After all, in the scientists’ eyes it can promise fairer healthcare in the years to come.
12. What problem has puzzled researchers in cancer treatment?

In a world crazy about grades and rankings, it’s easy to define our worth by external outcomes. However, psychologist Carol Dweck’s concept of “mindset” offers a different path. She distinguishes between a fixed mindset (the belief that our intelligence is stable) and a growth mindset (the belief that abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work). ____16____ They shape our relationship with challenges and effort.
So, how does this play out in daily life? The answer lies in how we handle difficulties. Those with a fixed mindset tend to avoid challenges, fearing that failure might expose a lack of intelligence. ____17____ They understand that struggle is not a sign of weakness but an essential part of mastering something new. For them, effort is what actually strengthens their abilities.
This perspective is backed by neuroscience. ____18____ When we step out of our comfort zone and tackle difficult problems, our brain forms new neural connections. This process, known as neuroplasticity, proves that we can literally make ourselves smarter through learning and practice.
How can we develop this mindset? Start by listening to your inner voice. When you think, “I can’t do this,” add one simple word: “yet” ____19____ It transforms a statement of limitation into a promise of future potential. This small shift in self-talk can be the first step toward embracing lifelong growth.
Ultimately, a growth mindset frees us from the need for constant confirmation. It allows us to see setbacks not as judgments of our worth, but as valuable feedback. ____20____ We begin to value the process of learning itself, finding joy in the journey of improvement rather than just the final destination.
A. This tiny word implies that learning is a gradual process.
B. However, the other group of people do exactly the opposite.
C. There is a scientific explanation for why this mindset works.
D. These two mindsets fundamentally alter how we view ourselves.
E. They firmly believe that true potential is unknown and achievable.
F. Therefore, we should avoid difficult tasks to protect our self-esteem.
G. It also helps us separate our core identity from the outcomes we experience.

47. 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。
If someone had told me in June that I would take part in a marathon event, I would have laughed. Yet there I was on an October morning with a medal around my neck.
Okay, it was only the 4.2K race, and I walked more than I ran. But I still did it.
Did I mention that I weigh around 300 pounds? I also have asthma, but medication helps. What’s more, I live with four anxiety disorders. Social anxiety makes me deadly afraid of people’s judgment. But in August, I decided that registering for the 4.2K event of our local marathon would be a great motivator to get in shape. So I signed up and started walking every day. I told only a few people — my family and some trusted friends.
Training went well until mid-September, when work got so exhausting that I could barely do anything. Still, I kept going. The real struggle came when I went to pick up my race number. I kept wondering what others would think. I didn’t have the usual runner’s profile. When I saw the T-shirt table, I turned away quickly. There were no shirts that would fit me. That made me doubt myself again. What was I doing here? The 4.2K was the “popular event,” with families and young children. But I was willing to bet that not many obese people had registered.
The night before the race, I had nightmares. When I woke up, I considered not going. Then I realized I had forgotten to wash my best running pants. Walmart opened at 8 a. m., and the race wasn’t until 10 a. m. I drove there, bought a pair, and headed to the starting line.
Once there, I quickly found that people didn’t really care about me; they were focused on their own experience. That relaxed me a little, but not completely. Soon I found myself at the back of the pack. Those real athletes must be wondering what I was doing there. But it was too late to turn back. I started walking, my earphones playing loud music to drown out possible hurtful comments.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, it turned out that the voices I was afraid of never came.

When I finally crossed the finish line, I heard someone calling my name.
