She remembers watching the games with her father, who was a professional swimmer, and beginning training when she was 9. But after the civil war broke out when she was just 13, her life changed dramatically. “Our house was destroyed, so we had to live with my grandma, " she says. “We went to school, but it was dangerous; it was the same with swimming.” After four years of living in fear of attacks, she and her older sister Sara made the difficult decision to flee in search of safety in Europe. They traveled to Turkey first. They then continued onto Germany, which became Yusra and Sara’s second home-although it took some time for it to feel like it. “The one thing that made me feel at home was swimming,” says Yusra. She began training at a club, applying her determination and resilience (坚韧) to the sport she loved-and the next year, she was selected to compete at the Rio Olympics as part of the first ever Refugee (难民) Olympic Team. Competing on the world stage alongside athletes from all other countries, she realized that she was representing others like her—those who were forced to live beyond borders. From that moment, she has worked tirelessly to share her story, and those of so many others, to bring greater visibility to the dangers they have faced. Yusra will launch a foundation to provide refugees around the globe with access to education and sport. She is also currently studying film and TV production in Los Angeles. Swimming remains her cornerstone, the true constant in her life. “Swimming has taught me a lot: it taught me to ty again. If you’ re going through something tough, it doesn’t mean that it is over,” Yusra says. 24. Which word can best describe Yusra’s teenage life? A. Eventful. B. Decent. C. Boring. D. Purposeful. 25. What did Yusra realize after participating in the Rio Olympics? A. She had made a big achievement. B. She had to search for her identity. C. She could voice for the displaced. D. She should befriend other athletes. 26. What role does swimming play in Yusra’s life? A. It keeps her engaged in sports. B. It gives her a sense of stability. C. It is a means of gaining recognition. D. It offers a brief escape from reality. 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. B. One good turn deserves another. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Action speaks louder than words. C As restaurants more and more use technology for placing food orders, a new University of South Florida (USF) study has shown that digital ordering platforms greatly affect consumer behavior. “While digital ordering can make things more convenient and efficient, many consumers will choose unhealthier food and spend more,” said Dipayan Biswas, a professor of marketing at the Muma College of Business. “Our research points out the importance of understanding how digital devices influence our decision-making.” Through six studies at restaurants and two in a USF School of Marketing and Innovation lab, Biswas and his graduate students studied the effect of ordering from a digital menu vs. a physical menu. The team looked at more than 23,000 orders from different restaurants, including an independently owned Mexican food restaurant and a major global dining chain with 1,000 locations across 23 countries. The study found 61% of digital orders, including those made for delivery, were unhealthy—more than 3% higher than non-digital orders. The team also found that digital menus have a bigger impact on what consumers order for dinner, since they tend to be more tired and depend more on technology later in the day. Therefore, digital ordering technologies may have less influence on consumers during breakfast and lunch. “Digital ordering modes lead to a more automatic decision-making process with less mental effort,” Biswas said. “This is because digital tools encourage people to rely less on their thinking ability and more on automatic processes.” This phenomenon is known as the “Google Effect”. The reduced mental effort in digital contexts can result in more automatic decision-making, leading to more indulgent (放纵的) food choices. According to Biswas, restaurant managers could use this research to adjust their offerings. “Restaurant managers who want to promote healthier options may benefit from offering non-digital ordering modes or some may be interested in promoting indulgent items during dinner hours through digital ordering to increase sales,” Biswas said. 28. What is the purpose of Biswas’s research on digital ordering? A. To stress the technological advance. B. To encourage healthy eating habits. C. To reveal its position in the market. D. To examine its impact on food selection. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the study? A. Its background. B. Its methods. C. Its significance. D. Its findings. 30. What effect might digital ordering have on consumers? A. More food consumption. B. Reduced mental effort. C. Healthier food choices. D. Enhanced dining experiences. 31. What does Biswas suggest restaurant managers do to promote healthier eating habits? A. Complete menus with nutritional information. B. Expand the range of healthy foods. C. Employ traditional ordering modes. D. Raise the prices of unhealthy items. D “CUT!” barks the director, and chaos erupts at a film studio in Los Angeles. Actors rush off to change their costumes, while crew members hurry to arrange new stage items. It is only the second day of filming and they have already packed in a week’s worth of cliffhangers (悬念). Filming a micro-drama, the latest new-media format to emerge from China, is just as fast-paced as watching one. “It’s soaps on steroids (激素),” a screenwriter explains. Micro-dramas are mini soap operas designed for the smartphone generation. Episodes are filmed in a vertical format and last just over a minute each. The acting tends to be overly dramatic, the storylines often crazy, with titles like “The Ordinary Student’s Sudden Royal Heritage”. But the bite-sized stories are perfect for China’s many young working professionals: long trips to and from work and tiring schedules leave little time for binge-watching box-sets on the sofa. A single micro-drama can cost over $10 to watch, with the first few episodes free of charge and the rest behind a paywall. Yet viewers have been willing to pay good money for it. This has fueled domestic enthusiasm: larger film companies are stepping in to expand production, while more traditional streaming platforms are setting up their own micro-drama channels. Now many apps are spreading the love, delivering micro-dramas to new audiences outside China. They don’t just translate Chinese series but also create original content with foreign actors, writers and directors. However, due to cultural differences, overseas actors sometimes struggle to understand why Chinese producers insist on sticking to cheesy tropes (俗气的桥段) and over-the-top acting. Nevertheless, micro-drama apps have reached a total of nearly 55 million downloads and $170 million in receipts overseas, according to iiMedia Research, a data provider. These vertical shorts don’t seem like a flash in the pan. Sometimes less really is more. 32. What is a feature of micro-dramas’ filming according to the text? A. It adopts a high-tech style. B. It requires significant funds. C. It is a highly efficient process. D. It involves numerous instructions. 33. Why are micro-dramas ideal for China’s young workforce? A. They are insightful to watch. B. They fit well with their busy schedules. C. They provide free episodes to viewers. D. They mirror the lives of young people. 34. What is the best title for the text? A. Soap Operas Develop Quickly in Digital Era B. Chinese Film Industry Sees a New Transformation C. Micro-Dramas Bring More Opportunities to the World D. China’s Micro-Dramas Will Enjoy Long-Term Success 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to think like an Olympian and develop a winner’s brain Olympians have trained their entire lives to reach their goal of standing on the winner’s podium (领奖台). Not only do they tone their bodies into near perfection, they sharpen their minds as well. ____35____ Researchers have found Olympians share some common traits, habits and qualities that you too can use to develop a winner’s mindset. View stress as positive. Any high-level athlete knows that pressure is unavoidable. ____36____ That carries important effects for everybody. A famous experiment published in a January 1998 report looked at how people viewed stress and found the risk of premature death rose by 43% for people who viewed stress negatively. Regulate your emotions. We all have a set of emotions that we feel are important for us to perform our best: I’m confident, but not overconfident. I’m anxious, but it’s a good anxiety. ____37____ But you need a way to dial those emotions up or down when necessary. ____38____ Not only do prime athletes train to the point that the physical skill becomes almost a natural physical response, but they often have specific rituals (例行动作) they follow before each event. Athletes who perform well, especially under pressure, stick to their routine. They might warm up the same way, and some might always imagine themselves doing the event perfectly. Stay focused on the process. ____39____ Again, it’s important to identify any triggers (诱因) you might face and experience during practice until they fade into the background. When facing one of the most important events of their lives, top athletes don’t focus on the outcome, they focus on the process needed to reach their goal. A. Practice until it’s routine. B. Perfect your professional skills. C. Emotional regulation is as important as physical or mental preparation. D. An ideal mixture of those emotions allows you to perform at your peak. E. Top performers can’t afford to be interrupted when it’s time for the big event. F. Top athletes have learned to regard it as a challenge rather than something to fear. G. Mental strength and focus don’t come without effort, even to the world’s top athletes. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Can a robot really freestyle? Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Gil Weinberg, have designed the first musical robot capable of not only playing music, but creating it. His name is Shimon. Weinberg, who is a musician, engineer, and professor of musical technology, found himself in a creative rut (创作瓶颈) and decided to create a robot that could inspire him with new musical ideas. Shimon was trained on a vast data set of everything from progressive rock to jazz to rap. His works really surprise human listeners. Up until recent advancements, applications of AI (artificial intelligence) have mostly consisted of well-defined tasks, but many are concerned that new technology like Shimon could result in lost jobs for millions of people, even those in creative industry. While the concern of an impending future in which humans are entirely replaced by robots certainly isn’t unfounded, a much more likely future is one in which robots work alongside humans to improve their work. Experts say that AI will actually create jobs for humans, not destroy them. The Guardian recently reported that by 2037, AI will create more than 7 million new jobs in the healthcare, education, and science fields in the UK. Shimon is showing us what can happen when robots don’t just work for us, but with us. Instead of putting any of our favorite musicians out of work, robots will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in new ways. The cooperation between humans and robots can produce new and attractive music, leading to novel musical outcomes. Thanks to the innovation of Weinberg and his team, rap battles, jam sessions, and symphony orchestras alike may begin to look and act considerably differently. 40. What can Shimon do? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. Why did Gil Weinberg create Shimon? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. According to the passage, please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why. Nowadays AI creates many jobs for humans, but it has a negative effect on the work of artists. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. As a student, what is your opinion about AI applied in your daily life? Why do you think so?
