During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court Care Home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.
I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were weak and helpless and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with it, some were happy to see us, and some were not.
I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, would have been listening to the hit song in their late 20s.
Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.
Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), lasting 50 years of a couple’s life.
And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.
When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their 20s might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.
I now know that music-based treatment reduce the need for antipsychotic medication (抗精神病药物) in more than 60 percent of people living with dementia. I don’t know what my My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.

A. Excited and confident. B. Worried and confused.
C. Curious and patient. D. Calm and relaxed.
5. Why did the author choose to play the song My Way?
A. It was a hit song at that time. B. It was the residents’ personal favorite.
C. It was a well-known song for dementia patients. D. It was popular among the residents’ generation.
6. How did the author’s experience at the care home influence him?
A. He decided to make music his career. B. He shifted his life focus to elderly care.
C. He became more understanding. D. He started the Music for Dementia campaign
7. What message does the author try to convey in the last paragraph?

Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. But one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer.
Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says.
The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always. According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the worst- affected are young adults and mothers with small children.
The knock-on effects on wellbeing are also better understood. Loneliness is linked to more heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Failure to address the problem, would see the world continuing to splinter until we can no longer stand as a community.
Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke University in North Carolina, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” “We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.”
8. What does Spike Jonze’s Her focus on?
A. Pets well-beings. B. Effects of Loneliness.
C. AI’s personalized service. D. Human-machine relationships.
9. Why does the author cite the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To direct people’s attention to loneliness.
B. To stress the gravity or loneliness in the world.
C. To compare loneliness cases in the UK and USA.
D. To clarify people’s misconception about loneliness.
10. What does the underlined word “splinter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unite. B. Expand. C. Divide. D. Advance.
11. What does Doraiswamy think of turning to Al for company?
A. It is highly debatable. B. It is not theoretically based.
C. It takes longer time to see its effect. D. It is workable but needs more guidance.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能与人类关系的话题,通过引用电影《她》的情节引出话题,并介绍了专家对于人工智能在缓解人类孤独感方面所起作用的观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. (好莱坞可能已经在斯派克·琼斯的最新电影《她》中警告过与人工智能建立关系的风险。故事设定在不远的未来,讲述了Twombly发现自己爱上了一个通过女性声音拟人化的人工智能虚拟助手的故事)”可知,Spike Jonze的电影《她》关注的是人与机器之间的关系。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always. According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the worst-affected are young adults and mothers with small children. (近年来,孤独问题的程度已经变得清晰。在英国,已知有超过79%,即近400万人经历着长期的孤独,这意味着他们经常或总是感到孤独。根据哈佛大学2021年的一项研究,超过三分之一的美国人感到严重的孤独,其中受影响最严重的是年轻人和有小孩的母亲)”可知,作者在第三段中引用数字是为了强调世界上孤独问题的严重性。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Loneliness is linked to more heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. (孤独与更多的心脏病、痴呆、中风、抑郁、焦虑和早逝有关,对死亡率的影响相当于每天吸多达15支烟)”可知,孤独会导致死亡。结合画线词所在句中“Failure to address the problem (未能解决这个问题)”和“until we can no longer stand as a community.(直到我们无法再作为一个社区而存在)”可推知,如不解决孤独问题,死亡问题将导致世界继续分裂,直到我们无法再作为一个社区存在。故画线词意思是“分裂”,与divide意思相近。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Doraiswamy的话“Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.(目前,所有的证据都表明,有一个亲密的人类朋友是解决孤独问题的最好办法。但在社会把社交联系放在首位之前,机器人是数百万没有朋友的人的解决方案)”和“We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.(我们需要小心制定规则,确保它们是道德的、值得信赖的,并且隐私得到保护)”可知,Doraiswamy认为转向人工智能作为陪伴是可行的,但需要更多的指导来确保其道德、可信赖以及隐私保护。故选D项。

Nestled in the waters off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seafloor sculpture park is safeguarding its ocean environment.
Fisherman Antonio Verdi has been casting his nets in these waters since his youth along the Maremma coastline. It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: the seabed was becoming barren, with exhausted fish stocks. Until recently, Antonio Verdi has found himself not only competing with the decline of ocean resources but also with threatening practices of illegal “bottom trawlers (拖网捕鱼的人)”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats.
Antonio Verdi’s style of artisanal fishing (手工捕鱼), in contrast, is friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fisher-men’s income. He understood that the success of his fishing activity was linked to the good state of the environment. The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015, was encouraged by this fisherman. “One of the most effective solutions is to physically prevent trawling through artificial reefs, so I started working on this project, trying to combine the protection of the seabed with something that could also give an added value to our environment, something as beautiful as a sculpture,” he stated.
Sculptures or rocks can break weighted trawler nets. They can also function as artificial reefs, offering habitats for corals and other sea creatures. Due to the presence of the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have rejoined the waters. The sculpture park represents both an artistic expression and a defence against destructive seafloor trawling.
Presently, 39 massive stone sculptures are scattered across the seabed along an area of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. In the near future, Antonio Verdi hopes to extend his protective efforts in coastal waters. “The sea is still under threat,” he says, “and my mission to protect it continues.”
12. What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Fruitful. B. Delicate. C. Unproductive. D. Fertile.
13. How does Antonio Verdi’s fishing differ from that of the illegal “bottom trawlers”?
A. He uses larger nets to catch more fish.
B. His method is less damaging to the ecosystem.
C. He focuses on catching specific high-value fish.
D. His fishes with the help of underwater sculptures.
14. What impact has the sculpture park had on the local ocean life?
A. A decline in the variety of fish and other creatures.
B. A shift in the types of fish caught by local fishermen.
C. The return of species that had previously disappeared from the area.
D. The construction of more artificial reefs to conserve are species.
15. What message is conveyed according to the project mentioned in this article?
A. The ocean is too vast to be affected by human activities.
B. Human activities have no significant impact on sea creatures.
C. The only way to protect sea creatures is to prohibit human activities.
D. Fishing should be in line with efforts to maintain a healthy ocean ecosystem.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了意大利渔民Antonio Verdi通过创建海底雕塑公园保护海洋生态,防止拖网捕捞,并促进海洋生物回归的故事。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: the seabed was becoming barren, with exhausted fish stocks. (早在20世纪80年代,他就开始注意到明显的迹象:海底正在变得barren,鱼类资源枯竭)”可知,鱼类资源枯竭,说明海底正在变得贫瘠。由此可推测出barren的意思是“不毛的,贫瘠的”,与Unproductive意思相近。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Antonio Verdi’s style of artisanal fishing (手工捕鱼), in contrast, is friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fisher-men’s income. (相比之下,Antonio Verdi的手工捕鱼方式对自然更为友好,因为破坏生态系统会减少渔民的收入)”可知,Antonio Verdi的捕鱼方式对生态系统破坏较小。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Due to the presence of the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have rejoined the waters. (由于水下雕塑的存在,一些很久没见过的物种,如石斑鱼和龙虾,又回到了这片水域)”可知,雕塑公园使得一些之前从该地区消失的物种重新出现。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Antonio Verdi’s style of artisanal fishing (手工捕鱼), in contrast, is friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fisher-men’s income. He understood that the success of his fishing activity was linked to the good state of the environment. (相比之下,Antonio Verdi的手工捕鱼方式对自然更为友好,因为破坏生态系统会减少渔民的收入。他明白,他捕鱼活动的成功与环境状况的良好息息相关)”以及最后一段中““The sea is still under threat,” he says, “and my mission to protect it continues.”(“海洋仍然受到威胁,”他说,“我保护海洋的使命仍在继续。”)”可知,文章通过Antonio Verdi的故事传达了渔业应该与维护健康的海洋生态系统相一致的信息。故选D。

____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Having carefully tidied up her own desk, Cathy started to preview the course content to be learned the next day.
【解析】
【详解】Cathy作主语,表示“开始预习”用start to preview,句子描述过去的情况,使用一般过去时,动词使用过去式形式作谓语,后接宾语“课程内容”the course content,“第二天要学的”作后置定语修饰the lessons,使用动词learn,此处描述第二天的动作,且与the lessons之间是被动关系,所以使用动词不定式的被动式to be learned作后置定语,“第二天”the next day,即Cathy started to preview the course content to be learned the next day;表示“仔细整理好”用carefully tidy up,作非谓语动词,与主语Cathy构成主动关系,且强调动作发生在“开始预习”之前,使用现在分词的完成式having finished作状语,句首单词首字母大写,后接宾语“自己的书桌”her own desk,即Having carefully tidied up her own desk。

【解析】
【详解】表示“既惊讶又紧张”用形容词短语surprised and nervous,作状语,表示“他”用he作句子主语,表示“缓缓地站起来”用stand up slowly,结合语境可知,句子描述过去的情况,用一般过去时,谓语使用过去式形式stood,slowly修饰动词作状语。表示“同时强忍着不让泪水落下来”用while引导状语从句,从句主语he,“强忍着不让泪水落下来”try hard to hold back his tears/fight back tears,从句使用过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作,即he was trying hard to hold back his tears/fighting back tears,状语从句中,从句主语与主句主语一致,且从句中含有be动词,省略从句中的主语和be动词,即while trying hard to hold back his tears/fighting back tears。

To improve students’ emergency response capabilities and ensure campus safety, our school organized an earthquake drill last Friday.

Under teachers’ guidance, they evacuated quickly and orderly along designated routes to the playground, crouching to avoid simulated falling objects. The whole process was completed smoothly within three minutes.

【答案】one possible version:
“Did you cheat in the exam?” the teacher asked, his voice icy, pointing at the grade on the paper. My blood ran cold. The pen slipped from my numb fingers, clattering loudly in the sudden silence. Heat flooded my face, burning my cheeks as my ears rang with a deafening buzz. I opened my mouth, but my voice strangled in my throat, escaping only as a broken whisper. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird. Violent tremors shook my hands as I gripped the paper, the bold score blurring into mocking smears through my stinging tears. I wanted to scream my innocence, but shame had stolen every word. I stared at the floor, wishing the ground would just swallow me whole.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生描述被老师误会考试作弊的场景。
【详解】开放性试题。本题要求描绘“被老师误会考试作弊的场景”,为开放性试题,需结合自身理解,对题目出现的“Did you cheat in the exam?” the teacher asked, his voice icy, pointing at the grade on the paper.进行延续,言之有理即可。例如,我浑身发冷。钢笔从我麻木的手指上滑落,在突然的寂静中发出巨大的咔嗒声。酷热淹没了我的脸,灼伤了我的脸颊,我的耳朵发出震耳欲聋的嗡嗡声。我张开嘴,但我的声音哽咽在喉咙里,只剩下破碎的耳语。我的心像一只被困住的鸟一样砰砰直跳。我紧握着试卷,剧烈的颤抖使我的双手颤抖,那大胆的分数在我刺痛的泪水中模糊成嘲弄的污点。我想大喊我的清白,但羞愧偷走了每一个字。我盯着地板,希望地面能把我整个吞没。

Volunteer requirements
Volunteers need to be 18 years or over to participate in this program, unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
All volunteers are required to prearrange a visa to enter Ghana and secure adequate volunteer travel insurance before departure.

During the final term of my theater and performance degree at the University of Leeds, I found myself standing outside Berkeley Court Care Home with three classmates and an underdeveloped idea. We planned to hold some interactive workshops with the residents to try to inspire memory and social engagement.
I remember being nervous, aware that we were working with people who were weak and helpless and that I had no idea what I was doing. Some residents were almost nonverbal, some were clearly not with it, some were happy to see us, and some were not.
I had decided to play music at the end of the session. We went with the song My Way because the residents, all roughly 80 years old, would have been listening to the hit song in their late 20s.
Once I pressed play, it was as if a spell had been cast. Nearly everyone in the room stood up and sang what seemed like every word. I was so profoundly moved. Many of them were communicating much better. It looked and felt like magic.
Off I went to drama school, but I thought about that experience almost daily. So when we were given the opportunity to write a script for a theater festival, I created a love story about music and dementia (痴呆), lasting 50 years of a couple’s life.
And now, 10 years later, the show I made is running again in London thanks to the Music for Dementia campaign.
When my grandma was diagnosed with dementia toward the end of her life, I didn’t struggle to communicate with her in the way that other people in their 20s might have done. I felt more able to tune into what she needed and better equipped to see her underneath the disease.
I now know that music-based treatment reduce the need for antipsychotic medication (抗精神病药物) in more than 60 percent of people living with dementia. I don’t know what my My Way would be, but I certainly think we should all strive to find our song and do our best to stay connected to the people we share it with.

Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence in Spike Jonze’s latest feature ‘Her’. Set in the not-too-distant future, it tells the story of Twombly who finds himself falling in love with an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. But one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not accept the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer.
Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says.
The degree of the loneliness problem has become clear in recent years. In the UK, more than 79%, or nearly four million people, are known to experience chronic loneliness, meaning they feel lonely often or always. According to a Harvard study from 2021, more than a third of Americans feel serious loneliness, and some of the worst- affected are young adults and mothers with small children.
The knock-on effects on wellbeing are also better understood. Loneliness is linked to more heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and premature death, with an impact on mortality (死亡率) equal to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. Failure to address the problem, would see the world continuing to splinter until we can no longer stand as a community.
Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke University in North Carolina, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” “We need to be careful to build in rules to ensure they are moral and trustworthy, and that privacy is protected.”
8. What does Spike Jonze’s Her focus on?
A. Pets well-beings. B. Effects of Loneliness.
C. AI’s personalized service. D. Human-machine relationships.
9. Why does the author cite the numbers in paragraph 3?
A. To direct people’s attention to loneliness.
B. To stress the gravity or loneliness in the world.
C. To compare loneliness cases in the UK and USA.
D. To clarify people’s misconception about loneliness.
10. What does the underlined word “splinter” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Unite. B. Expand. C. Divide. D. Advance.
11. What does Doraiswamy think of turning to Al for company?
A. It is highly debatable. B. It is not theoretically based.
C. It takes longer time to see its effect. D. It is workable but needs more guidance.
D
Nestled in the waters off the coast of Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seafloor sculpture park is safeguarding its ocean environment.
Fisherman Antonio Verdi has been casting his nets in these waters since his youth along the Maremma coastline. It was in the 1980s that he began to notice the clear signs: the seabed was becoming barren, with exhausted fish stocks. Until recently, Antonio Verdi has found himself not only competing with the decline of ocean resources but also with threatening practices of illegal “bottom trawlers (拖网捕鱼的人)”, who randomly spoil a large quantity of ocean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net along the seafloor behind their boats.
Antonio Verdi’s style of artisanal fishing (手工捕鱼), in contrast, is friendly to nature as damaging the ecosystem could reduce fisher-men’s income. He understood that the success of his fishing activity was linked to the good state of the environment. The underwater “House of Fish” sculpture park, which was started in 2015, was encouraged by this fisherman. “One of the most effective solutions is to physically prevent trawling through artificial reefs, so I started working on this project, trying to combine the protection of the seabed with something that could also give an added value to our environment, something as beautiful as a sculpture,” he stated.
Sculptures or rocks can break weighted trawler nets. They can also function as artificial reefs, offering habitats for corals and other sea creatures. Due to the presence of the underwater sculptures, some species not seen in a long while such as groupers and lobsters have rejoined the waters. The sculpture park represents both an artistic expression and a defence against destructive seafloor trawling.
Presently, 39 massive stone sculptures are scattered across the seabed along an area of Tuscan coastline near the town of Talamone. In the near future, Antonio Verdi hopes to extend his protective efforts in coastal waters. “The sea is still under threat,” he says, “and my mission to protect it continues.”
12. What does the underlined word “barren” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Fruitful. B. Delicate. C. Unproductive. D. Fertile.
13. How does Antonio Verdi’s fishing differ from that of the illegal “bottom trawlers”?
A. He uses larger nets to catch more fish.
B. His method is less damaging to the ecosystem.
C. He focuses on catching specific high-value fish.
D. His fishes with the help of underwater sculptures.
14. What impact has the sculpture park had on the local ocean life?
A. A decline in the variety of fish and other creatures.
B. A shift in the types of fish caught by local fishermen.
C. The return of species that had previously disappeared from the area.
D. The construction of more artificial reefs to conserve are species.
15. What message is conveyed according to the project mentioned in this article?
A. The ocean is too vast to be affected by human activities.
B. Human activities have no significant impact on sea creatures.
C. The only way to protect sea creatures is to prohibit human activities.
D. Fishing should be in line with efforts to maintain a healthy ocean ecosystem.
