Throwing oneself in native plants may not seem like a recipe for success as a social media influencer. But meet Kyle Lybarger.
It all started with what Lybarger now recognizes as a terrible mistake. About a decade ago, he was managing a private forest where the owner let him hunt. The land included an open area, where he decided to plant food for wildlife. He sprayed (喷洒) it with herbicide (除草剂), put down seeds and cut down some trees to let in more light. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges of the area, where he hadn’t sprayed or seeded, the additional sunlight released a beautiful surprise. “I came back up the next summer and it was just like color everywhere, really crazy-looking plants,” says Lybarger. “I feel like I should know what this plant is.”
After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, an expert pointed out some rare and endangered species. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species that were ideal for attracting wildlife, all in order to plant two or three species that weren’t part of the native ecosystem.
Lybarger, a forester by training, found a mission: to save these native species. In a state where more than 90% of the land is privately owned, that has meant knocking on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants. One morning last spring found Lybarger chatting with Pat Eaton, who has a spot of endangered glade cress growing on her family’s property. A few miles away, Lybarger pointed out another endangered species that his social media followers had been instrumental in protecting.
Lybarger thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators (传粉昆虫) and other insects. “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think,” he says.
4. What was Lybarger’s mistake?
A. He mixed seeds up. B. He removed the soil.
C. He posted photos online. D. He killed native species.
5. Why did Lybarger visit landowners?
A. To purchase their properties. B. To protect private land plants.
C. To teach planting skills. D. To seek hunting permission.
6. What does Lybarger do through social media?
A. Keep track of his daily work. B. Build up his reputation.
C. Educate people about local plants. D. Offer professional training.
7. What is the text about?
A. A forester’s mission shift. B. A herbicide spraying method.
C. Endangered plant species. D. Tips for becoming an influencer.

A huge and beautifully preserved set of fossils (化石) discovered in China has cast doubt on the idea that complex life dramatically flourished during a rapid burst of evolution known as the Cambrian (寒武纪) explosion. This event, extending from roughly 541 million to 513 million years ago, is when most of the animal groups alive today are thought to have first appeared.
In the previous period, known as the Ediacaran, it was thought that life was much less complex. But that is contradicted by the new fossil find in Yunnan province, known as the Jiangchuan biota, which includes more than 700 fossils dating from 554 to 537 million years ago.
“The discovery shows that Cambrian-type animal communities did not appear suddenly, but already had clear foundations and transitional forms by the end of the Ediacaran,” says Gaorong Li at Yunnan University in Kunming, China, who led the team behind the discovery.
The researchers found a range of creatures, of which only a few examples have been found before. Some of the fossils have been identified as cambroernids (寒武岐须虫类), which weren’t known to exist before the Cambrian. The most common fossil the team found is an animal that fixed itself to the sea bed at one end and had a tube-like structure that could be extended outward at the other end.
These animals already possess key features seen in modern animals, but the way these structures are combined is unlike that of most animals living today. In other words, although their overall appearance is strange, they still possess the basic body parts seen in modern animals. “Although these fossils suggest certain animal groups were present prior to the Cambrian period, they don’t invalidate the idea of the Cambrian explosion,” says Joe Moysiuk at Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg, Canada. “Rather, they enable us to better determine the likely timing of this evolutionary explosion.”
8. What does the underlined word “flourished” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Gathered around. B. Died out. C. Sprang up. D. Slowed down.
9. Which picture can illustrate the animal in paragraph 4?
A. B. C. D.
10. What can we learn about the discovery?
A. It pushes back the origin of complex life.
B. It overturns the idea of the Cambrian explosion.
C. It explains the formation of animal fossils.
D. It denies modern features of early life.
11. What is the text?
A. A literature review. B. A travel brochure.
C. A news report. D. A science fiction.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍我国云南发现一批保存完好的远古化石,该发现颠覆了以往认知,证明复杂生命在寒武纪大爆发之前就已出现雏形,同时并未否定寒武纪大爆发理论,还能帮助人们精准判定此次进化爆发的时间。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第一段“A huge and beautifully preserved set of fossils discovered in China has cast doubt on the idea that complex life dramatically flourished during a rapid burst of evolution known as the Cambrian explosion.(在中国发现一大批保存完好的巨型化石,这让人们开始质疑复杂生命在被称为寒武纪大爆发的快速进化阶段迅速flourished这一观点。)”可知,寒武纪大爆发是生命的一个快速进化阶段,故flourished在此处表示涌现、繁盛,与sprang up含义一致。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“The most common fossil the team found is an animal that fixed itself to the sea bed at one end and had a tube-like structure that could be extended outward at the other end.(该团队发现数量最多的化石生物,一端固定在海底,另一端长有可向外伸展的管状结构。)”可知,C项图片符合描述。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“This event, extending from roughly 541 million to 513 million years ago, is when most of the animal groups alive today are thought to have first appeared.(这一时期大约始于5.41亿年前,止于5.13亿年前,如今现存的绝大多数动物族群,都被认为是在这个阶段首次出现的。)”及第二段“But that is contradicted by the new fossil find in Yunnan province, known as the Jiangchuan biota, which includes more than 700 fossils dating from 554 to 537 million years ago.(但云南发现的名为江川生物群的新化石推翻了这一观点,这批化石包含七百多件,距今5.54亿至5.37亿年。)”可知,此次发现把复杂生命的起源时间往前推移了。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第一段“A huge and beautifully preserved set of fossils discovered in China has cast doubt on the idea that complex life dramatically flourished during a rapid burst of evolution known as the Cambrian explosion.(在中国发现一大批保存完好的巨型化石,这让人们开始质疑复杂生命在被称为寒武纪大爆发的快速进化阶段迅速繁盛起来这一观点。)”及全文内容可知,文章客观报道远古化石的重大发现、研究成果以及业内相关专家的观点,属于一篇新闻报道。

Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking. If creativity and innovation are accelerating (加速) faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good? A recent psychological study suggests one direction: wisdom.
According to neuropsychiatrist Dilip Jeste, features of wisdom include prosocial attitudes, self-awareness and reflection, emotional stability, and balancing decisiveness with uncertainty. These are not features we normally associate with innovation. But new research suggests they may shape whether creativity benefits others or not.
Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity. Across two studies, creativity did not reliably predict prosocial behavior on its own. In one experiment, highly creative participants who scored lower in wisdom were less willing to help another person in a moral-emergency situation. Among participants higher in wisdom, creativity was instead associated with more socially mindful responses. One way to think of the implications here is that creativity generates possibilities, but wisdom helps determine which possibilities serve others rather than ourselves alone.
There is a concern that human thinking can become more “computationalized” — more procedural, efficiency-driven, and emotionally cold. The more we interact with computational systems, the easier it becomes to treat human problems as technical problems.
How do we develop wisdom then? Ironically (讽刺地), the answer may lie in a field often under attack: the humanities. Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world. When hiring, she said the company looks for people with strong communication skills, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to understand human behavior, capacities often developed through the humanities. Literature, philosophy, and history expose us to moral dilemmas (困境) and human complexity.
Socrates said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Wisdom may be one of the deeper expressions of wonder - the capacity to reflect, and consider how our actions affect others. In an age of acceleration, that capacity keeps our humanness fully alive.
12. Why does the author mention AI experts in paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To lead into a topic.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a phenomenon.
13. What is the role of wisdom in creativity?
A. It generates novel ideas.
B. It predicts social emergencies.
C. It ensures personal reflection.
D. It guides moral direction.
14. Which statement will Daniela Amodei probably agree with?
A. Humanistic disciplines are crucial.
B. Employees with AI skills are favored.
C. AI innovation needs new perspectives.
D. Technology is a byproduct of humanity.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Are Humanities More Valuable Than AI Skills?
B. Is Wisdom Harder to Learn Than Creativity?
C. Are Moral Dilemmas the Test of Creativity?
D. Is Creativity Enough in the Age of AI?
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述在人工智能飞速发展、创意创新不断提速的时代,仅有创造力远远不够,智慧能够为创意指引道德方向,而学习人文学科是培养智慧的重要途径。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking.(说来奇怪,我最近一直在和人工智能领域的专家交流。这些人一心研发强大的科技工具,却又希望坚守人性。这引发了我的思考。)”及原文第三段“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.(研究人员发现,智慧是创造力的道德指南针。)”可知,作者提及人工智能专家是为了引出本文探讨的核心话题——智慧在创新时代的重要作用。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.(研究人员发现,智慧是创造力的道德指南针。)”可知,智慧能够为创造力指引道德方向。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段“Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world.(安思卓公司联合创始人Daniela Amodei近日提出,在人工智能主导的时代,学习人文学科或许会变得前所未有的重要。)”可知,她认同人文学科至关重要这一观点。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第一段“If creativity and innovation are accelerating faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good?(倘若创意与创新的发展速度空前迅猛,那又该如何确保它们造福大众、向善而行?)”及第三段“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.(研究人员发现,智慧是创造力的道德指南针。)”并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕人工智能时代展开,论述仅有创造力存在局限,还需要智慧加以引导,因此合适的标题为“人工智能时代仅有创造力足够吗?”。

How does a team improve so quickly? That question isn’t just about basketball. It’s about how any group can learn, adapt, and succeed in an age of accelerated change.
During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams do differently? ____17____ And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and cooperate. To identify members of high-performing teams, we had workers rate their team’s effectiveness and industry performance. Those rated highest were called “superteams”.
____18____ Superteams share three key strengths. Firstly, they get more done by managing time, energy, and attention more efficiently. Secondly, their members actively make one another better. Thirdly, they’re constantly building new skills and improving over time.
It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. ____19____ It’s part of a pattern that has defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. After its arrival, the team entered a full rebuild, putting long-term progress before instant results. Yet in just four seasons it reached the NBA Finals, in 2012.
The Thunder’s story is a reminder that success grows from the pursuit of improvement, the decisive leaders who spot and solve problems, and the motivated teams that cooperate well. Those are the habits that turn good teams into superteams. ____20____
A. But something remarkable happened.
B. They work together towards the same goal.
C. Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident.
D. We found that superteam leaders are more likely to support employees.
E. Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond.
F. To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers across various industries.
G. Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar.
【答案】16. A 17. F 18. G 19. C 20. E

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。
Tom was the boy who never got called on. In class, he pressed himself against the chair, hoping to be invisible. When the teacher asked a question, his eyes dropped to the desk. Reading was worse. Words on a page seemed to swim away from him. He would stare at a sentence for minutes, his throat tight. His classmates turned pages with ease. He got stuck on the first page, struggling with every word.
Mr. Kirui, the school principal, noticed. Instead of leaving him to sink, he did something small. After school one day, he found Tom sitting alone by the library window, running his fingers over the table. “Come with me,” he said quietly. “No pressure.”
The library smelled of old paper and dust. Sunlight streamed through the blinds. Mr. Kirui pulled out a pile of thin books — picture books, early readers, stories with big letters and white space. Tom’s face burned. “These are for little kids,” he mumbled, staring at his shoes. “Trust me,” Mr. Kirui said. “Start here.”
Tom opened the first one. His finger traced the lines. He read aloud, slowly, tripping over easy words. Mr. Kirui never corrected him. He just leaned back and listened. Day after day, after class they sat in the same corner — the one by the window where the light fell softly. Tom’s voice grew steadier. He started to ask questions about the stories. He borrowed books without being asked. One afternoon, Mr. Kirui watched him read a full page without stopping. The boy didn’t even notice the principal’s smile.
A week later, the school announced a Read Out Loud Competition, where students could choose their own reading materials. “Any volunteer?” The teacher asked. Hands shot up. Tom’s heart raced. His hand lifted slightly and then fell back to his lap.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version
After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library. Staring at his shoes, he expressed his wish to join, his throat tight. “But they’ll laugh at my thin book,” he whispered. Mr. Kirui patted his shoulder gently. “Just read it well. That’s enough.” Encouraged by the principal’s warm words, Tom finally signed up. Every afternoon, he returned to the sunlit corner, reading the same pages aloud repeatedly. With Mr. Kirui listening quietly nearby, Tom’s once shaky voice gradually grew firm, ready for the stage.
On competition day, Tom stepped onto the stage, a thin book in hand. Facing the crowd, he swallowed hard. He began with a trembling whisper, but soon his voice steadied. Absorbed in the familiar story, Tom turned the pages with ease, the words no longer swimming away. Finishing the last sentence without a single pause, he met deafening applause. In the audience, Mr. Kirui nodded with a proud smile. Standing in the spotlight, Tom realized the once invisible boy had finally stepped out of the shadows, full of true confidence.

Throwing oneself in native plants may not seem like a recipe for success as a social media influencer. But meet Kyle Lybarger.
It all started with what Lybarger now recognizes as a terrible mistake. About a decade ago, he was managing a private forest where the owner let him hunt. The land included an open area, where he decided to plant food for wildlife. He sprayed (喷洒) it with herbicide (除草剂), put down seeds and cut down some trees to let in more light. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges of the area, where he hadn’t sprayed or seeded, the additional sunlight released a beautiful surprise. “I came back up the next summer and it was just like color everywhere, really crazy-looking plants,” says Lybarger. “I feel like I should know what this plant is.”
After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, an expert pointed out some rare and endangered species. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species that were ideal for attracting wildlife, all in order to plant two or three species that weren’t part of the native ecosystem.
Lybarger, a forester by training, found a mission: to save these native species. In a state where more than 90% of the land is privately owned, that has meant knocking on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants. One morning last spring found Lybarger chatting with Pat Eaton, who has a spot of endangered glade cress growing on her family’s property. A few miles away, Lybarger pointed out another endangered species that his social media followers had been instrumental in protecting.
Lybarger thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators (传粉昆虫) and other insects. “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think,” he says.
4. What was Lybarger’s mistake?
A. He mixed seeds up. B. He removed the soil.
C. He posted photos online. D. He killed native species.
5. Why did Lybarger visit landowners?
A. To purchase their properties. B. To protect private land plants.
C. To teach planting skills. D. To seek hunting permission.
6. What does Lybarger do through social media?
A. Keep track of his daily work. B. Build up his reputation.
C. Educate people about local plants. D. Offer professional training.
7. What is the text about?
A. A forester’s mission shift. B. A herbicide spraying method.
C. Endangered plant species. D. Tips for becoming an influencer.

A huge and beautifully preserved set of fossils (化石) discovered in China has cast doubt on the idea that complex life dramatically flourished during a rapid burst of evolution known as the Cambrian (寒武纪) explosion. This event, extending from roughly 541 million to 513 million years ago, is when most of the animal groups alive today are thought to have first appeared.
In the previous period, known as the Ediacaran, it was thought that life was much less complex. But that is contradicted by the new fossil find in Yunnan province, known as the Jiangchuan biota, which includes more than 700 fossils dating from 554 to 537 million years ago.
“The discovery shows that Cambrian-type animal communities did not appear suddenly, but already had clear foundations and transitional forms by the end of the Ediacaran,” says Gaorong Li at Yunnan University in Kunming, China, who led the team behind the discovery.
The researchers found a range of creatures, of which only a few examples have been found before. Some of the fossils have been identified as cambroernids (寒武岐须虫类), which weren’t known to exist before the Cambrian. The most common fossil the team found is an animal that fixed itself to the sea bed at one end and had a tube-like structure that could be extended outward at the other end.
These animals already possess key features seen in modern animals, but the way these structures are combined is unlike that of most animals living today. In other words, although their overall appearance is strange, they still possess the basic body parts seen in modern animals. “Although these fossils suggest certain animal groups were present prior to the Cambrian period, they don’t invalidate the idea of the Cambrian explosion,” says Joe Moysiuk at Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg, Canada. “Rather, they enable us to better determine the likely timing of this evolutionary explosion.”
8. What does the underlined word “flourished” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Gathered around. B. Died out. C. Sprang up. D. Slowed down.
9. Which picture can illustrate the animal in paragraph 4?
A. B. C. D.
10. What can we learn about the discovery?
A. It pushes back the origin of complex life.
B. It overturns the idea of the Cambrian explosion.
C. It explains the formation of animal fossils.
D. It denies modern features of early life.
11. What is the text?
A. A literature review. B. A travel brochure.
C. A news report. D. A science fiction.
D
Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking. If creativity and innovation are accelerating (加速) faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good? A recent psychological study suggests one direction: wisdom.
According to neuropsychiatrist Dilip Jeste, features of wisdom include prosocial attitudes, self-awareness and reflection, emotional stability, and balancing decisiveness with uncertainty. These are not features we normally associate with innovation. But new research suggests they may shape whether creativity benefits others or not.
Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity. Across two studies, creativity did not reliably predict prosocial behavior on its own. In one experiment, highly creative participants who scored lower in wisdom were less willing to help another person in a moral-emergency situation. Among participants higher in wisdom, creativity was instead associated with more socially mindful responses. One way to think of the implications here is that creativity generates possibilities, but wisdom helps determine which possibilities serve others rather than ourselves alone.
There is a concern that human thinking can become more “computationalized” — more procedural, efficiency-driven, and emotionally cold. The more we interact with computational systems, the easier it becomes to treat human problems as technical problems.
How do we develop wisdom then? Ironically (讽刺地), the answer may lie in a field often under attack: the humanities. Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world. When hiring, she said the company looks for people with strong communication skills, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to understand human behavior, capacities often developed through the humanities. Literature, philosophy, and history expose us to moral dilemmas (困境) and human complexity.

In the spring of 2022, after a depressing 58-loss season, the Oklahoma City Thunder sat near the bottom of the NBA standings. ____16____ In just three seasons it rocketed from the bottom to the top of the league. How does a team improve so quickly? That question isn’t just about basketball. It’s about how any group can learn, adapt, and succeed in an age of accelerated change.
During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams do differently? ____17____ And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and cooperate.

It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. ____19____ It’s part of a pattern that has defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. After its arrival, the team entered a full rebuild, putting long-term progress before instant results. Yet in just four seasons it reached the NBA Finals, in 2012.

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。
Tom was the boy who never got called on. In class, he pressed himself against the chair, hoping to be invisible. When the teacher asked a question, his eyes dropped to the desk. Reading was worse. Words on a page seemed to swim away from him. He would stare at a sentence for minutes, his throat tight. His classmates turned pages with ease. He got stuck on the first page, struggling with every word.
Mr. Kirui, the school principal, noticed. Instead of leaving him to sink, he did something small. After school one day, he found Tom sitting alone by the library window, running his fingers over the table. “Come with me,” he said quietly. “No pressure.”
The library smelled of old paper and dust. Sunlight streamed through the blinds. Mr. Kirui pulled out a pile of thin books — picture books, early readers, stories with big letters and white space. Tom’s face burned. “These are for little kids,” he mumbled, staring at his shoes. “Trust me,” Mr. Kirui said. “Start here.”
Tom opened the first one. His finger traced the lines. He read aloud, slowly, tripping over easy words. Mr. Kirui never corrected him. He just leaned back and listened. Day after day, after class they sat in the same corner — the one by the window where the light fell softly. Tom’s voice grew steadier. He started to ask questions about the stories. He borrowed books without being asked. One afternoon, Mr. Kirui watched him read a full page without stopping. The boy didn’t even notice the principal’s smile.
A week later, the school announced a Read Out Loud Competition, where students could choose their own reading materials. “Any volunteer?” The teacher asked. Hands shot up. Tom’s heart raced. His hand lifted slightly and then fell back to his lap.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右:

After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library.
