As a woman in my late thirties, I wanted to see the world on my own terms, so I started a solo (单独的) journey to Cape Town for my 40th birthday. After a 15-hour flight, I stepped off the plane and felt the vibrant energy of the “Mother City”. Over the next 11 days, I had amazing experiences in Cape Town.
On my first night, I was invited to dinner by a flight attendant I met while stretching on the long flight. Surrounded by new friends and immersed in local hospitality, I had much fun. The next day, I encountered another solo traveler from my home state of Washington. We enjoyed exploring Cape Town for one day together. Soon we became friends, laughing and sharing our life stories with each other. Anyway, I found beauty in connecting with locals and other travelers.
One of my favorite things I did while in Cape Town was riding an all-terrain vehicle in the white Atlantis Dunes (沙丘) extending for miles. For an hour I got to ride my heart out, opening my mind to all the endless possibilities. Additionally, I also visited the Cape of Good Hope, the southwestern most point of Africa, where I hiked through breathtaking scenery, with views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
While I consider myself an experienced hiker, I wasn’t prepared for the steep elevation of Cape Town’s iconic routes. The hikes up Lion’s Head and Table Mountain were among the most difficult I’ve ever done. During the 5.5-hour hike on Table Mountain, there were moments I felt like quitting — but, just like in life, you can’t give up when things get tough. Reaching the top, with its 2,000-foot elevation, was a fantastic experience.
My solo journey to Cape Town tested my limits and broadened my perspective. While I may not recommend solo travel to Cape Town for the faint of heart, I wholeheartedly encourage others to step outside their comfort zones and embrace solo exploration.
24. What did the author experience during the first two days of her trip?

27. What does the author want to tell us in the text?
A. Travel and enjoy freedom. B. Step out and try new things.
C. Friendship brings great joy. D. Nature shapes our character.

A sweeping analysis of 15 studies from seven databases found patients consistently rate AI chatbots as warmer and more empathetic than real clinicians, and that overall, AI had a 73% chance of being judged more empathetic in head-to-head comparisons. The work was led by teams at the University of Nottingham and the University of Leicester.
Across nine separate studies, ChatGPT-4 routinely outscored licensed clinicians. On thyroid(甲状腺)surgery questions, the AI’s empathy ratings sat 1.42 standard deviations(标准偏差) above human surgeons. On mental health questions, they sat 0.97 standard deviations higher than real professionals. When responding to patient complaints routed through hospital departments, the gap widened dramatically: 2.08 standard deviations in favor of the AI over patient relations staff. Crucially, this wasn’t just a patient-only effect. Physicians themselves rated the AI’s voices as more empathetic than their peers’ responses to the same questions.
Part of the AI advantage is structural. Large language models are trained on oceans of human conversation and tend to use patient-centered phrasing: acknowledging feelings, summarizing concerns, and offering clear next steps. They don’t get rushed, burned out, or defensive, and they can apply best practice wording consistently. Meanwhile, clinicians answering inbox messages are handling time pressure and the messy context of a person’s chart.
Rather than replacing clinicians, however, the researchers argue for a cooperative workflow: Doctors write the core medical advice while AI polishes tone, adds clear, comforting phrasing, and predicts common fears. Then, clinicians review this data and send it to patients. This could lighten inbox burden, reduce short replies that sour relationships, and lift patient satisfaction without sacrificing accuracy. Such approaches are already coming into daily practice.
Online, words can do a lot. In the growing slice of medicine — portal messages, email follow-ups, frequently-asked question explanations — AI already writes the way many patients wish all clinicians did: slower, gentler, clearer about emotions and next steps. The opportunity is to let AI mentor us in our written bedside manner while clinicians safeguard judgment, small differences, and truth. The challenge now is to bring that warmth into care without losing what only humans can do.
28. What can be inferred about AI chatbots in medical communication?
A. They are widely trusted by doctors. B. They can win patients’ favor easily.
C. They focus mainly on mental health. D. They outperform clinicians academically.
29. Which is an advantage of AI in patient communication?
A. Its ability to work tirelessly. B. Its tendency to express emotions.
C. Its access to private patient data. D. Its training on medical textbooks.
30. What do the researchers suggest in Paragraph 4?
A. Training clinicians to copy AI’s communication style.
B. Replacing clinicians with AI to improve efficiency.
C. Using AI to make independent medical decisions.
D. Adopting a joint clinician-AI working mode.
31. What does the underlined word “mentor” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Control. B. Replace. C. Guide. D. Monitor.
D
Some of the earliest plants attracted pollinators (传粉者) by producing heat that made these plants shine, according to a new study published in Science.
These heat-producing plants, called cycads, exist today in tropical forests although they’re endangered. They’re related to pines, and male and female plants each produce fleshy, pinecone-like (松果似的) structures containing the pollen and the seeds. Several centuries ago, botanists noticed their reproductive cones can heat up by 15°F-25°F or more above the surrounding air temperature. Recent research illustrates male and female cones heat up at slightly different times, which could send pollinators moving from one cone to the other.
To understand more, Wendy Valencia-Montoya, a cycad expert at Harvard University, and her colleagues painted some pollinating insects with shiny markers to watch when the insects went to the plant. They found that the insects were clearly going to the plant cones when they heated up. Next the team created 3D-printed fake pollen cones, which got filled with heated sand inside and glowed in the infrared (红外线). In an experiment, they wrapped the fake cone with plastic wrap that’s clear to infrared light. Insects could see the infrared light but not get close enough to the cone to feel the heat.
What they found is that the infrared light, by itself, was enough to attract pollinating insects. When they looked at those insects, they found that they have specialized antennae (触角) that have evolved to detect slight differences in temperature. Additionally, the insects’ antennae seem to be tuned to the exact temperature range presented by their host plant.
“Back when plants first evolved pollen, the insects that were active at night had poor vision,” says Valencia-Montoya. “So it makes sense that a signal like heat was guiding them.” But as new groups appeared that were active in the day and had better vision, like butterflies, “it makes more sense for plants to change their signaling strategy to also tap into the sensory systems of these more recent pollinators,” she says. Once color became a possible signal, flowering plants had an immense range of color combinations, allowing them to rapidly diversify.
32. How did Valencia-Montoya’s team conduct the experiment?
A. By using real plants consistently. B. By tracking plants with markers.
C. By applying artificial heated cones. D. By changing the insects’ natural habits.
33. Why were the insects attracted to the fake cones in the experiment?
A. They preferred plastic wrap. B. They saw the shiny markers.
C. They smelled the heated sand. D. They sensed the infrared light.
34. What did the researchers do to confirm their findings further?
A. They referred to previous research. B. They explored the pollinating insects.
C. They compared different plant species. D. They analyzed impacts of plants’ shining.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ancient heat signals in plants B. A new discovery about cycads
C. The evolution of plant pollinators D. Insects helping plants reproduce

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。
I was recently having a conversation with a Brazilian. While we were speaking in Portuguese, his words flowed naturally and fluently. After some time, a Norwegian man joined our conversation, so we switched to English. As we talked in English, I felt as if I was talking to a different person. While in Portuguese the Brazilian was intelligent and funny, in English he was nervous and unconfident. 36
Every language has a unique rhythm and flow. When you speak a foreign language using the rhythm from your native language, the listener mightn’t understand everything you say. Portuguese is spoken almost as if you’re singing. 37 Brazilians often speak English in the same rhythmic way, which sounds strange to English speakers not used to this style of speech.
38 Different groups of people use different words and expressions to say the same thing. For example, to say “I have to go to the bathroom”, a surfer might say “I’ve gotta take a dookie”, and a military man would say “I have to use the latrine”. They mean the same thing, but which one you use reveals certain things about who you are.
Without knowing the equivalent (等同的) phrases in a foreign language, you won’t be able to properly express your personality. 39 But this doesn’t work if that expression isn’t the same in both languages. Or you’ll say them in a very direct way, which may come across as rude.
So why not try and improve the way you speak? You can record yourself speaking in your foreign language and compare your intonation (语调) and flow with that of a native speaker. 40 Observe the words they use and how they use them in speech, and take note of their rhythm and their body language while speaking.
A. You may try to translate them literally.
B. How can he turn to the Internet and a native speaker?
C. The idioms you use show a lot about your background.
D. Individual words come together to paint a larger picture.
E. You speak it sentence by sentence, rising and falling as you do.
F. So how does speaking in a foreign language make one different?
G. It’s also a good idea to study someone with a similar personality as you.

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 sunny morning in late May, and the air was filled with a mix of nervousness and hope. Ethan Carter, a 17-year-old high school student, sat in the backseat of a ride-hailing car (网约车), holding his exam bag tightly. He was going to take an exam today. Next to him sat his classmate, Liam Bennett.
They had been good friends since freshman year, often studying together and encouraging each other through tough times. The ride-hailing driver, Mr Henderson, a kind middle-aged man, drove steadily, keeping an eye on the time to ensure they arrived at the exam site on schedule. Ethan took a deep breath, reviewing key knowledge in his mind, while Liam looked out the window, a little anxious yet excited about the upcoming exam.
Suddenly, without any warning, Liam let out a soft groan (呻吟) and fell forward in his seat. His eyes rolled back, and he stopped breathing. Ethan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized something was terribly wrong. “Liam! Liam, wake up!” he shouted, shaking his friend gently, but there was no response. Mr Henderson glanced at the rear-view mirror, and his face turned pale with panic.
Ethan didn’t hesitate. He had learned first aid in his school’s health class, and all the training kicked in at that moment. He quickly moved Liam into a flat position, checked his pulse and breathing, and found that Liam had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest (心脏停搏). Without wasting a second, Ethan started performing CPR — pressing firmly on Liam’s chest and giving him rescue breaths, repeating the process over and over, his hands shaking but his movements steady.
“Hold on, Liam. You’ll be okay!” Ethan whispered, his voice tight with worry but full of determination. Mr Henderson, realizing the urgency, turned on the emergency lights and honked his horn. He kept reassuring Ethan, “We’ll get to the hospital soon, kid. Keep going, you’re doing great.” Ten minutes later, they finally reached the hospital.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右;
