第一节(共15 小题;每小题2.5 分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
A new study by AI company Anthropic gives clearer answers about which jobs are most affected by artificial intelligence. The research introduces a new measure of AI displacement risk, observed exposure,which shows how much AI is actually used in real work (observed coverage), not what AI could do in theory(theoretical coverage).
A job's exposure is higher if:
· Its tasks are theoretically possible with AI
· Its tasks see significant usage in the Anthropic Economic Index
· Its tasks are performed in work-related contexts
· It has a relatively higher share of automated use patterns or API implementation
· Its AI-impacted tasks make up a larger share of the overall role
The chart below shows key findings for selected occupational categories.
Theoretical Capability and Observed Usage by Occupational Category
The study found a large gap between AI's theoretical capability and real-world use. In fact, AI is far from reaching its theoretical capability: actual coverage remains a tiny share of what is possible. However,occupations with higher observed exposure are expected by the BLS (美国劳工统计局) to grow less through2034. The research finds no consistent increase in unemployment for highly exposed workers since late 2022,though it finds evidence that hiring of younger workers (ages 22——25) has slowed in exposed occupations.
21. What does the measure“observed exposure” focus on?
A. AI's theoretical capabilities. B. AI's real usage in workplaces.
C. AI's development in the future. D. AI's adoption speed across industries.
22. Which occupational category has the lowest observed exposure to AI?
A. Office & admin. B. Computer & math.
C. Education & library. D. Architecture & engineering.
23. How has AI affected young workers (22——25) in exposed occupations?
A. Their hiring pace has slowed down. B. They have moved to low-exposure jobs.
C. Their unemployment has increased sharply. D. They have a better chance in less exposed jobs.
B
Think of a firefighter. What are you imagining? A man? Strong? Handsome and heroic? The reality is starkly different. But it's an image that's deeply rooted in our social mind. And that means that many women don't even consider a career as a firefighter.
I became a firefighter when I was 18 and am now one of the most senior firefighters in the country. At present, only five percent of firefighters are women. The contrast is even more noticeable in leadership roles like mine. Did you know that there are more Chief Fire Officers called Chris than there are female Chief Fire Officers?!
This matters, because being a firefighter is hard. We need the best of the best to serve with us. We are in the privileged position of being trusted by those in their very worst moments. Those people deserve the best but, at the moment, we' re only choosing from the group of applicants who are attracted by the stereotype (刻板印象). We need to widen that pool.
Gender does not determine competence. In the fire service, our greatest strength is our ability to work as a team, and a good team needs a range of skills. I' ve lost count of the number of difficult rescues where being small and nimble meant I was the right person for the job. I' ve crawled into twisted vehicles to give life-saving first-aid to those trapped inside, for example. And it's not all about size and strength. It's about being calm and able to comfort those who are frightened and vulnerable. You need to be able to make decisions that could affect whether people live or die, while at the same time engaging with their emotions. It's not just about what's in your muscles but what's in your head.
I love my job, but being a woman in a typically alpha-male profession has not always been easy. There have been doubters —— those who tell me that it's not a job for women or that I don't deserve my place. But they' re wrong. And they' re in the minority. And that kind of experience isn't limited to my industry. It's a battle with the unfair treatment of women that exists within our society. We must all do more to change that, so that our daughters have the same opportunities as our sons.
24. What does the author imply by mentioning“more Chief Fire Officers called Chris”?
A. The name Chris is very popular. B. Chris has made great contributions.
C. Women are rare in leadership roles. D. Leaders are in short supply.
25. What is the author's attitude toward current recruitment?
A. Critical of narrow sources. B. Proud of high standards.
C. Worried about training quality. D. Confident in current results.
26. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Gender equality ensures team success. B. Diverse skills lead to effective rescue work.
C. Emotional support outweighs first aid. D. Firefighting downplays physical strength.
27. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To complain about unfair treatment. B. To share her personal rescue experiences.
C. To break gender stereotypes in careers. D. To compare male and female abilities.
C
TikTok and Instagram feeds are filled with creators boiling apples for digestion, changing iced coffee for hot water, scraping their faces with jade (玉石) gua sha tools, or explaining why your body's“yin and yang” might be out of balance. Practices rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), from herbal teas to tai chi, are increasingly appearing in wellness routines far beyond China.
Why has TCM gained such popularity outside of China? Traditional Chinese Medicine approaches health differently from much of Western medicine. The goal is prevention and harmony rather than simply reacting to illness. That philosophy is part of the appeal. At a time when wellness culture often feels too commercialized,Chinese medicine offers a slower and more integrated approach to health.
Against this background, Chinese wellness practices began circulating more widely online, which raises familiar questions about cultural translation. On social media, complex traditions are often boiled down into bite-sized habits; drink hot water, boil ginger, avoid“cold foods.” When practices that developed over centuries are reduced to quick tips, the philosophical foundations behind them can disappear.
There are also medical debates. While many people use TCM for relaxation, balance or preventative care,scientists note that some herbal treatments lack consistent clinical evidence and can carry risks if misused.
Still, the popularity of Chinese wellness reflects something deeper than a passing trend. It taps into a wider search for balance in an era of burnout, screen fatigue and endless pursuit of self-perfection. Whether the internet is embracing the philosophy behind these traditions or simply borrowing their appearance remains an open question. But for now, Chinese wellness has entered the global self-care conversation.
28. What attracts international attention to TCM?
A. Quick relief from symptoms. B. Gradual and comprehensive model.
C. Use of fashionable jade tools. D. Social media wellness campaigns.
29. What is the problem with Chinese wellness practices spreading online?
A. They oppose healthy daily habits. B. They make language translation errors.
C. They push terrible drinks and diets. D. They oversimplify philosophical tradition.
30. How does the author view Chinese wellness in the last paragraph?
A. Its popularity overcomes concerns. B. Its rise shows Eastern wisdom.
C. Its depth awaits broader acceptance. D. Its global place is fully secured.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Chinese Wellness: A Global Lifestyle Trend
B. Modern Poison: Ancient Wellness Philosophy
C. TCM vs. Western Medicine: A Medical Debate
D. Chinese Healing: The Development of Medicine

Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are among the most biodiverse and ecologically vital ecosystems on Earth, yet they face severe threats from climate change, ocean acidification, pollution, and overfishing. As reef decline accelerates, restoration efforts have expanded dramatically, including the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to create heat-resistant corals. Yet a key challenge remains: once these modified corals are released into the ocean, how can researchers track them over multiple generations and space to assess the true impact of restoration?
The research team, led by scientists from the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Western Australia, have developed a pioneering new method —— a combination of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing and environmental DNA (eDNA) technology, allowing for individual-level identification over multiple generations.
The scientists used CRISPR-Cas9 to place unique, heritable genetic barcodes into the DNA of corals.These barcodes are stable, and do not disturb normal biological functions. Each edited coral carries a distinct genetic marker that can be passed down to its young for multiple generations. The key innovation is the ability to detect these genetic markers using eDNA —— small amounts of DNA left behind by organisms in their surrounding environment. By sampling seawater near restored reefs, researchers can identify specific barcode-carrying corals without disturbing the reef itself.
In field trials on the Great Barrier Reef, the team successfully tracked 200 barcode-edited corals for 18months. They detected the spread of young corals over several kilometers and confirmed that they had produced new corals into a second generation.“For the first time, we can accurately measure survival, reproduction,and connectivity in restored coral populations —— critical data for making conservation efforts more effective,”said lead author Max Moonier.
While the results are promising, researchers emphasize that careful risk assessments will be necessary before widespread application. Future work will evaluate potential interactions between edited and wild corals,ensure no unintended ecological consequences, and improve methods for broader application across coral species. Ultimately, this approach provides a critical step toward effective coral reef restoration in an era of rapid climate change. The approach provides an example showing that precisely monitoring restoration outcomes is achievable, with broad use across species and ecosystems.
32. What did the research team's method mainly solve?
A. Increasing coral populations. B. Editing coral genes to resist heat.
C. Collecting eDNA from ocean water. D. Tracking modified corals in the wild.
33. What does the term“genctic barcodes” refer to in paragraph 3?
A. Disturbing changes to corals' DNA.
B. Unique eDNA collected from seawater.
C. Harmless markers put into corals' DNA.
D. Modified genes added to improve corals.
34. How do researchers monitor edited corals using eDNA?
A. By attaching physical labels to corals.
B. By analyzing corals’ genetic structures.
C. By catching and testing individual corals.
D. By testing seawater to spot marked corals.
35. What can be inferred about the future of the technology?
A. It will stop reef decline worldwide. B. It may be used in other ecosystems.
C. It has no potential risks to ecosystems. D. It could replace traditional restoration methods.

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。
In a world driven by test scores and productivity, art is often seen as a luxury or an elective. 36 It shows that students engaged in regular artistic activities —— such as drawing, music, or theater —— develop stronger creative thinking and emotional intelligence. One study even found that art participants scored 20%higher on empathy tests.
Why does art have such a powerful effect on young minds? 37 When a child paints or plays an instrument, the brain must coordinate perception, movement, memory, and emotion all at once. A 2024Swiss study of over 2,000 children found that those receiving regular arts training consistently outperformed their peers in problem-solving tasks.
Another benefit is that art provides a safe space for emotional expression. Children often struggle to put complex feelings into words. 38 Through colors, sounds, or movements, they can express what they cannot otherwise share. This process helps them understand and manage their own emotions —— a skill vital for mental health.
The value of art extends well into adulthood as well. In an age when AI can generate content from existing information, uniquely human strengths —— imagination, original thinking, moral judgment —— are becoming more valuable. 39 Students with art backgrounds learn to approach problems without ready-made answers.They embrace uncertainty, which prepares them for careers that no machine can replace.
40 Policymakers and parents should no longer see art as an extra thing, but as an essential part of the school curriculum. Art, in essence, is about making better human beings —— more creative, more empathetic, and more resilient in facing life's challenges.
A. But recent research suggests this common assumption is mistaken.
B. Art gives them another language to express their own inner world.
C. The answer to this question is found in how the human brain works.
D. Art education nurtures exactly these essential human qualities.
E. Therefore, art is a wonderful source of joy and growth for children.
F. That is why art education deserves a central place in our schools.
G. Yet many schools continue to cut art programs due to tight budget limits.

Returning to one's hometown has become an appealing choice for many young Chinese. For 28-year-old FuYinuo, Tengtou Village is not only a place where he grew up but also where he now works as 56 assistant to the village Party branch secretary. 57 (convince) that his hometown held great promise, he turned down a job offer in Ningbo city, but 58 drew him back most was his emotional attachment to the land.
Fu Dandan, another young returnee from Tengtou, first realized her hometown's specialness during a visit 59 the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. There, she saw an exhibition dedicated to Tengtou, showcasing its ecological development model. Her classmates’ 60 (admire) made her see Tengtou in a new light.Later, facing high living costs in the city, she made the decision to return. She 61 (serve) as deputy director of the village's External Communications Office and finds her work deeply 62 (satisfy).
These two young people are part of a larger trend that 63 (begin) early on. Across China, over 12million individuals have joined rural revitalization efforts. Their stories show that when industries are in place,rural areas can 64 (definite) provide young people with a sense of belonging and space for ambition. FuYinuo once said,“I am willing to stay and start with small things. More tasks remain 65 (do) in the future.” His determination reflects the growing confidence in China's rural future.

第二节(满分25分)
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 hot and sticky July afternoon in Brooklyn. But the scorching (炙热) sun wasn't the real reason I was upset. The one-year anniversary of my mother's death was approaching, and I didn't know how I was going to handle it. She had died suddenly, after a late-stage cancer diagnosis. Over the past year, I had only begun to accept the reality that I would never feel her close again.
Walking down the familiar streets, I passed the last café we had sat in together. I could almost hear her voice asking me if I had put on sunscreen before going out. She had visited me often from Pennsylvania,always emerging from the bus in a colorful summer dress, a wide-brimmed (宽檐) hat on her head, ready to see the latest Broadway play or try the newest Italian restaurant. We never missed the outdoor concerts in the park, where she would take care of me like I was still a child.“Where's your hat, Celeste?” she would say,adjusting my collar.“That sun demands a hat! Do you want to get sunstroke?” I would roll my eyes and tell her I was fine, but she would never let it go until I put one on.
I reached the corner, my eyes stinging (刺痛) with more than just the sweat from the heat. Out of nowhere, a woman called out to me.
“Where's your hat?” she asked.
The words hit me like a physical blow. She was in her 70s, elegantly dressed, with a charming straw hat that matched her clothes. As she approached, I admired her earrings and necklace —— a perfect summer look,like one my mother would have worn.
“Where's your hat, young lady?” the woman asked again, her voice warm but firm.“That sun demands a hat!”
注意: 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
I stood frozen on the sidewalk, my throat tight.
Before we parted outside the café, I felt something light land on my head.
