Like many 19-year-olds across the US, Zach Yadegari spent last summer preparing for college. Instead of an ordinary freshman, he’s also the co-founder and CEO of a fast-growing mobile app called Cal AI.
Yadegari launched the app in May 2024. The idea is simple: Users take a photo of their food, and the app’s AI system estimates the meal’s calorie count. The app is free to download, with an optional subscription for extra features.
Yadegari says he has loved technology since childhood. His interest began when he was seven years old, after attending a summer camp where he learned to code. After that, he spent hours watching online lessons and practicing programming.
The idea for Cal AI came from his own daily life. Yadegari had started exercising and wanted to track his calories, but most apps required users to type in every food item manually. “It felt really tedious,” he said. Discussing the problem with several friends, he decided to build an AI system that could analyze photos of food and do most of the work automatically.
Since its establishment, Cal AI has grown quickly. The team now has about 30employees, and the app earns around $274, 000 in monthly operating income. Today, Yadegari is also a student at the University of Miami’s business school. Balancing schoolwork with running a company can be challenging. Still, he believes entrepreneurship (创业) is open to people of any age. “I think entrepreneurship is really cool because age doesn’t really matter much,” Yadegari said. “You’re either good at what you do or you’re not, and the market decides the results.”
Looking ahead, Yadegari hopes to continue building new technology companies. “Ideally,” he said, “I want to create something that shapes the future.”
4. How does Cal AI help users track calories?
A. By hiring experts to estimate calories. B. By asking users to type in food items.
C. By analyzing photos of food with AI. D. By offering charge-free subscriptions.
5. Why did Yadegari want to create Cal AI?
A. To prepare for his exams. B. To find jobs for his friends.
C. To make more money soon. D. To simplify calorie tracking.
6. What does the underlined word “tedious” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Useless. B. Boring. C. Serious. D. Dangerous.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Calorie Count App Developed by a Student B. The Development of AI Technology in the US
C. The Urgency of Balancing Study and Business D. How to Start a Tech Company at a Young Age
C
Google co-founder Sergey Brin told Stanford students his company now employs many workers who never earned college degrees, Fortune reported. During a talk at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, Brin explained how Google’s approach to hiring has moved away from demanding formal degrees.
The numbers back up this change. Data from the Burning Glass Institute shows that in 2017, degree requirements were part of 93% of job postings at Google. By 2022, that figure had dropped to 77%. Other large tech companies have also begun judging candidates by their abilities instead of their degrees. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expressed similar views in 2024. “If you look at skills of people, it’s amazing how skilled people are in something, but it didn’t show up in their résumé,” he said.
This shift raises questions about whether a college education is worth, especially as AI tools got better at performing tasks that once required formal training. If you spent years and tens of thousands of dollars earning a degree, companies’ hiring people without that certificate might feel disheartening. The change could leave graduates wondering if their time and money were well-spent.
AI’s popularity also creates environmental pressures. Training and running AI systems requires tons of electricity and water for cooling data centers. As AI becomes more integrated into hiring, operations, and daily business functions, energy consumption grows. This can overuse power grids (电力网) , increase costs for consumers and contribute to pollution if the electricity comes from sources such as gas or coal. AI may help upgrade some clean energy systems, but its resource demands present trade-offs.
The business community is recognizing that degree requirements often screen out talented people unnecessarily. If you’re entering the job market without a traditional degree, focus on building demonstrable skills through online courses, certifications or project portfolios (作品选集) that showcase your abilities. Many tech companies now prioritize what you can do over where you studied.
8. Which situation matches the hiring phenomenon mentioned in the text?
A. A firm employs applicants with high degrees.
B. An enterprise focuses on working experience.
C. A corporation hires knowledgeable graduates.
D. A company values candidates’ practical skills.
9. Why does the author mention AI in paragraph 3?
A. To show its impact on employment criteria. B. To emphasize its advantages in job hunting.
C. To reveal its great harm to the environment. D. To stress its wide use in modern companies.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the hiring shift at Google and other tech companies?
A. Conservative. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show eco-problems caused by AI. B. To introduce ways to hunt good jobs.
C. To urge better education for students. D. To present a shift in hiring standards.
D
It's not just morning larks and night owls. There're five unique types of sleepers out there according to a new research, and which kind you are is tied to your health and lifestyle. These "hidden subgroups” among early risers and late sleepers are each associated with distinct patterns of human behavior and health.
One group of early birds, say, has the fewest health problems overall, while the other group has higher rates of depression. Night owls, meanwhile, show even greater diversity of cycles and outcomes. "In today's digital era, sleep patterns are more diverse than ever,” says Le Zhou, a neuroscience grad student from McGill University in Canada.
Scientists have previously categorized our 24-hour body clocks into multiple sleep patterns, but the specific sleep patterns identified in this study are new. The researchers examined the health data and self-reported sleep patterns of 27, 030 UK adults in mid-life to late-life, revealing two early bird subtypes and three night owl groups. Similar subtypes emerged when the researchers applied their model to a second group of more than 10, 000US teenagers.
Subtype 1 is the first of the night owls, which is associated with risky lifestyle behaviors and difficulties in emotional regulation. Subtype 2 is a night owl pattern that is not so enviable. It's linked to depression, smoking, and higher heart-related risks. Those that fall into this subtype have lower physical activity and are more likely to use antidepressant (抗抑郁的) drugs.
Subtype 3 is a "morningness” pattern with fewer health issues. Sleepers that belong to this subtype tend not to smoke, drink alcohol and engage in risky behaviors. They exhibit higher anxiety, but generally have fewer emotional regulation issues. Subtype 4 is another early-bird chronotype (睡眠类型) and tends to include more females. The category is linked to depressive symptoms (症状) and antidepressant drug prescriptions.
Subtype 5 is the final night owl group and is more male-dominated. It's associated with increased intake of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, leading to higher heart-related risks.
12. What do we know about the sleep types in the first paragraph?
A. They're divided into two categories. B. They're relevant to people's wellness.
C. They were identified by US scientists. D. They shared human behavioral patterns.
13. What can we learn about from the study in paragraph 3?
A. Sleep subtypes were found in earlier studies. B. Participants from the UK had fixed lifestyles.
C. Opposite results were shown in the US group. D. Subjects' health and sleep data were analyzed.
14. A characteristic of people in subtype three is that they have _________.
A. frequent drug use B. lower physical activity
C. healthier lifestyles D. poor emotional control
15. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Early birds are healthier than night owls. B. Women are more likely to be early-birds.
C. The majority of the subtype five are men. D. Night owls face higher heart-related risks.

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。
Lila was a 16-year-old girl who lived in a quiet coastal town. She had dreamed of becoming a professional surfer since childhood. For years, she would rise before dawn to practice on the shore, her small surfboard slicing through the waves.
Her family struggled financially — her mother worked double shifts at a local café to make ends meet. Her father was a salesman, always on business trips. But Lila never let hardship weaken her passion. She believed determination alone could turn her dream into reality, and she pushed herself harder each day, even when the wind blew fiercely or the icy water bit at her skin.
One afternoon, as Lila attempted a daring movement in a rough stretch of water, a storm erupted without any sign. A towering wall of water crashed into her, sending her board flying and hitting her body against an underwater rock. When she finally struggled back to shore, her right leg was severely injured: a deep cut ran from her knee to her ankle, and the bone stuck out through the skin.
She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors delivered crushing news: one of the bones in her leg was broken and the risk of permanent damage was extreme. Physical therapy (治疗) would be long, painful and far from guaranteed. Many medical experts doubted she’d ever walk normally again, let alone stand on a surfboard.
Lila felt extremely upset. The sport she loved had been her entire world, and the thought of never surfing again felt like losing a part of herself. She refused to look at the physical therapy schedule her mother left on the table beside her. She spent days staring blankly at the wall, her leg aching and her heart heavy with despair. Her mother sat by her side every evening, gently urging her to try, tears in her eyes as she held Lila’s injured hand, but Lila would only turn away, too consumed by grief (沉浸在悲痛中) to speak.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Things changed when Lila’s father brought her a small, hand-carved surfboard sculpture.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Six months later, Lila was back on her surfboard.

Like many 19-year-olds across the US, Zach Yadegari spent last summer preparing for college. Instead of an ordinary freshman, he’s also the co-founder and CEO of a fast-growing mobile app called Cal AI.
Yadegari launched the app in May 2024. The idea is simple: Users take a photo of their food, and the app’s AI system estimates the meal’s calorie count. The app is free to download, with an optional subscription for extra features.
Yadegari says he has loved technology since childhood. His interest began when he was seven years old, after attending a summer camp where he learned to code. After that, he spent hours watching online lessons and practicing programming.
The idea for Cal AI came from his own daily life. Yadegari had started exercising and wanted to track his calories, but most apps required users to type in every food item manually. “It felt really tedious,” he said. Discussing the problem with several friends, he decided to build an AI system that could analyze photos of food and do most of the work automatically.
Since its establishment, Cal AI has grown quickly. The team now has about 30employees, and the app earns around $274, 000 in monthly operating income. Today, Yadegari is also a student at the University of Miami’s business school. Balancing schoolwork with running a company can be challenging. Still, he believes entrepreneurship (创业) is open to people of any age. “I think entrepreneurship is really cool because age doesn’t really matter much,” Yadegari said. “You’re either good at what you do or you’re not, and the market decides the results.”
Looking ahead, Yadegari hopes to continue building new technology companies. “Ideally,” he said, “I want to create something that shapes the future.”
4. How does Cal AI help users track calories?
A. By hiring experts to estimate calories. B. By asking users to type in food items.
C. By analyzing photos of food with AI. D. By offering charge-free subscriptions.
5. Why did Yadegari want to create Cal AI?
A. To prepare for his exams. B. To find jobs for his friends.
C. To make more money soon. D. To simplify calorie tracking.
6. What does the underlined word “tedious” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Useless. B. Boring. C. Serious. D. Dangerous.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Calorie Count App Developed by a Student B. The Development of AI Technology in the US
C. The Urgency of Balancing Study and Business D. How to Start a Tech Company at a Young Age
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A

Google co-founder Sergey Brin told Stanford students his company now employs many workers who never earned college degrees, Fortune reported. During a talk at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, Brin explained how Google’s approach to hiring has moved away from demanding formal degrees.
The numbers back up this change. Data from the Burning Glass Institute shows that in 2017, degree requirements were part of 93% of job postings at Google. By 2022, that figure had dropped to 77%. Other large tech companies have also begun judging candidates by their abilities instead of their degrees. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expressed similar views in 2024. “If you look at skills of people, it’s amazing how skilled people are in something, but it didn’t show up in their résumé,” he said.
This shift raises questions about whether a college education is worth, especially as AI tools got better at performing tasks that once required formal training. If you spent years and tens of thousands of dollars earning a degree, companies’ hiring people without that certificate might feel disheartening. The change could leave graduates wondering if their time and money were well-spent.
AI’s popularity also creates environmental pressures. Training and running AI systems requires tons of electricity and water for cooling data centers. As AI becomes more integrated into hiring, operations, and daily business functions, energy consumption grows. This can overuse power grids (电力网) , increase costs for consumers and contribute to pollution if the electricity comes from sources such as gas or coal. AI may help upgrade some clean energy systems, but its resource demands present trade-offs.
The business community is recognizing that degree requirements often screen out talented people unnecessarily. If you’re entering the job market without a traditional degree, focus on building demonstrable skills through online courses, certifications or project portfolios (作品选集) that showcase your abilities. Many tech companies now prioritize what you can do over where you studied.
8. Which situation matches the hiring phenomenon mentioned in the text?
A. A firm employs applicants with high degrees.
B. An enterprise focuses on working experience.
C. A corporation hires knowledgeable graduates.
D. A company values candidates’ practical skills.
9. Why does the author mention AI in paragraph 3?
A. To show its impact on employment criteria. B. To emphasize its advantages in job hunting.
C. To reveal its great harm to the environment. D. To stress its wide use in modern companies.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards the hiring shift at Google and other tech companies?
A. Conservative. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show eco-problems caused by AI. B. To introduce ways to hunt good jobs.
C. To urge better education for students. D. To present a shift in hiring standards.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】

It's not just morning larks and night owls. There're five unique types of sleepers out there according to a new research, and which kind you are is tied to your health and lifestyle. These "hidden subgroups” among early risers and late sleepers are each associated with distinct patterns of human behavior and health.
One group of early birds, say, has the fewest health problems overall, while the other group has higher rates of depression. Night owls, meanwhile, show even greater diversity of cycles and outcomes. "In today's digital era, sleep patterns are more diverse than ever,” says Le Zhou, a neuroscience grad student from McGill University in Canada.
Scientists have previously categorized our 24-hour body clocks into multiple sleep patterns, but the specific sleep patterns identified in this study are new. The researchers examined the health data and self-reported sleep patterns of 27, 030 UK adults in mid-life to late-life, revealing two early bird subtypes and three night owl groups. Similar subtypes emerged when the researchers applied their model to a second group of more than 10, 000US teenagers.
Subtype 1 is the first of the night owls, which is associated with risky lifestyle behaviors and difficulties in emotional regulation. Subtype 2 is a night owl pattern that is not so enviable. It's linked to depression, smoking, and higher heart-related risks. Those that fall into this subtype have lower physical activity and are more likely to use antidepressant (抗抑郁的) drugs.
Subtype 3 is a "morningness” pattern with fewer health issues. Sleepers that belong to this subtype tend not to smoke, drink alcohol and engage in risky behaviors. They exhibit higher anxiety, but generally have fewer emotional regulation issues. Subtype 4 is another early-bird chronotype (睡眠类型) and tends to include more females. The category is linked to depressive symptoms (症状) and antidepressant drug prescriptions.
Subtype 5 is the final night owl group and is more male-dominated. It's associated with increased intake of alcohol, cigarettes and drugs, leading to higher heart-related risks.
12. What do we know about the sleep types in the first paragraph?
A. They're divided into two categories. B. They're relevant to people's wellness.
C. They were identified by US scientists. D. They shared human behavioral patterns.
13. What can we learn about from the study in paragraph 3?
A. Sleep subtypes were found in earlier studies. B. Participants from the UK had fixed lifestyles.
C. Opposite results were shown in the US group. D. Subjects' health and sleep data were analyzed.
14. A characteristic of people in subtype three is that they have _________.
A. frequent drug use B. lower physical activity
C. healthier lifestyles D. poor emotional control
15. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Early birds are healthier than night owls. B. Women are more likely to be early-birds.
C. The majority of the subtype five are men. D. Night owls face higher heart-related risks.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Subtype 5 is the final night owl group and is more male-dominated.(第五类属于熬夜型,群体中男性占比更高)”可知,第五类人群以男性为主。

Building a lasting and meaningful self-care routine requires clear and thoughtful steps instead of random or careless efforts. A well-designed guide can help you build a sustainable self-care practice that truly fits your lifestyle and personal needs.
· Find what makes you feel centered.
As expert Gill Lopez points out, self-care is not one-size-fits-all. ____16____ You can start by writing down as many joyful things as possible, such as your favorite color, gentle touches, pleasant seasons, nice smells or relaxing music, to know yourself better.
· Brainstorm how to include those enjoyable things into daily life.
____17____ For example, you may fill your room with colors and smells you love or set fixed activities at certain times each day. Starting small makes the habit much easier to form, so you’re advised to add just one new self-care practice at a time.
· ____18____
After deciding on proper self-care behaviors, plan when and how often you’ll carry them out. You can begin with short and easy tasks, like keeping away from electronics for 20 minutes during dinner. Once you keep it for a week, you may gradually set a more challenging task.
· Find support from people around you,
Doing self-care activities with partners who share the same goals helps you stay consistent. ____19____

【17题详解】
下文“For example, you may fill your room with colors and smells you love or set fixed activities at certain times each day. Starting small makes the habit much easier to form, so you’re advised to add just one new self-care practice at a time.(举例来说,你可以在房间布置喜爱的色彩与香氛,或是每日固定时段开展专属放松活动。从小事着手更容易养成习惯,建议每次只新增一项自我关怀行动。)” 列举房间布置、定时活动等日常细节,B项“它们可以是日常里的细碎小事。)”总起概括这些事物的属性。
【18题详解】
根据下文“After deciding on proper self-care behaviors, plan when and how often you’ll carry them out.

Once you keep it for a week, you may gradually set a more challenging task.(决定合适的关怀方式后,规划执行的时间与频次。可以从简短简易的小事做起,例如晚餐期间放下电子设备二十分钟。坚持一周后,再逐步提升行动难度。)”可知,本段围绕规划执行时间、难易任务展开。C项“设定贴合实际、可量化的日常自我关怀目标。”精准概括段落核心主旨.
【19题详解】
上文“Doing self-care activities with partners who share the same goals helps you stay consistent.(和志同道合的伙伴一同践行自我关怀,能让你持之以恒。)”指出和同伴一起践行自我关怀的好处,E项“长远来看,这能让你的自我关怀行为更具持续性。)”承接结伴坚持的好处,递进说明该做法带来的长期作用。
【20题详解】
上文“Self-care needs trial and error, and your needs may change as life goes on.(自我关怀本就是不断尝试摸索的过程,人生不同阶段,自身需求也会随之改变。)”指出人生进程中需求会改变。G项“某一阶段适合的关怀方式,在另一阶段或许不再适配。”对应需求变化,说明关怀方式也要随之更迭。

My Bond with the Yangtze River
Over the past decade, the Yangtze River Protection Initiative has brought remarkable changes to our mother river. The water quality has improved significantly, and rare species which include the Yangtze finless porpoise have been spotted more frequently. The riverbanks, once polluted, are now lined with green vegetation.
Personally, I feel deeply proud of these achievements. This initiative has taught me that protecting nature is not just a government task but everyone’s responsibility. What I believe is that with continued efforts, the Yangtze will remain a source of life and beauty for generations to come.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Lila was a 16-year-old girl who lived in a quiet coastal town. She had dreamed of becoming a professional surfer since childhood. For years, she would rise before dawn to practice on the shore, her small surfboard slicing through the waves.
Her family struggled financially — her mother worked double shifts at a local café to make ends meet. Her father was a salesman, always on business trips. But Lila never let hardship weaken her passion. She believed determination alone could turn her dream into reality, and she pushed herself harder each day, even when the wind blew fiercely or the icy water bit at her skin.
One afternoon, as Lila attempted a daring movement in a rough stretch of water, a storm erupted without any sign. A towering wall of water crashed into her, sending her board flying and hitting her body against an underwater rock. When she finally struggled back to shore, her right leg was severely injured: a deep cut ran from her knee to her ankle, and the bone stuck out through the skin.
She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors delivered crushing news: one of the bones in her leg was broken and the risk of permanent damage was extreme. Physical therapy (治疗) would be long, painful and far from guaranteed. Many medical experts doubted she’d ever walk normally again, let alone stand on a surfboard.
Lila felt extremely upset. The sport she loved had been her entire world, and the thought of never surfing again felt like losing a part of herself. She refused to look at the physical therapy schedule her mother left on the table beside her. She spent days staring blankly at the wall, her leg aching and her heart heavy with despair. Her mother sat by her side every evening, gently urging her to try, tears in her eyes as she held Lila’s injured hand, but Lila would only turn away, too consumed by grief (沉浸在悲痛中) to speak.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1: Things changed when Lila’s father brought her a small, hand-carved surfboard sculpture. He placed it gently on her bedside table, saying, “Lila, this is a symbol of your dream. Just like this little sculpture, your dream can be broken, but it can also be remade. Remember, every champion faces setbacks.” His words struck a chord in Lila’s heart. She picked up the sculpture, tracing its lines with her fingers. For the first time in days, a spark of hope flickered in her eyes. She decided to fight back. Starting that day, she followed the physical therapy schedule religiously, enduring the pain with gritted teeth.
Paragraph 2: Six months later, Lila was back on her surfboard. The sun shone brightly on the ocean as she paddled out. The scars on her leg were a reminder of her battle. With each wave she caught, she felt a rush of joy and a sense of triumph. Her family watched from the shore, cheering. Lila knew she had overcome not just her injury but also her own self-doubt. She was no longer the girl who had given up in despair. Instead, she was a warrior, ready to chase her dream of becoming a professional surfer, stronger and more determined than ever.
