From vivid recreation to grand theatrical shows, these parks bring ancient dynasties to life. Here are four top-rated destinations for time-traveling across China’s history. Millennium City Park (Kaifeng, Henan) Step into the Northern Song Dynasty (960 — 1127) at this park, a 1:1 recreation of Zhang Zeduan’s iconic painting The Qingming Scroll. Wander Song-style streets, watch live shows like Judge Bao Solves Cases and Yue Fei’s Duel, and join folk activities such as a landlord’s daughter choosing a husband. The nightly water show Dream of the Eastern Capital wraps you in Song music, dance, and lights. Tang Paradise (Xi’an, Shaanxi) Transport yourself to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty (618 — 907) in this 66.7-hectare royal garden replica (复制品). Admire grand palaces, lotus ponds, and poetry lanes carved with verses by Li Bai and Du Fu. Don’t miss Dream Back to Tang Dynasty, a spectacular water-and-fire show with 300 performers, and taste authentic Tang snacks like roasted lamb and sesame cakes. Songcheng (Hangzhou, Zhejiang) Journey to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127 — 1279) in Hangzhou’s historic water town. Wander around bustling market streets with blacksmiths, teahouses, and costumed performers. The park’s signature show The Romance of the Song Dynasty blends dance, acrobatics, and special effects to retell classic tales. Combine it with nearby water parks for a full day of culture and fun. Yancheng Spring & Autumn Park (Changzhou, Jiangsu) Travel back 2,700 years to the Spring and Autumn Period (770 — 476 BCE) on the ruins of an ancient city. Explore palaces, battlefields, and schools of thought like Confucianism and Taoism. Ride themed attractions like the Bagua Maze and watch stunt shows restaging ancient wars.

Now, she is famous on TikTok with about 1.3 million followers. She released (发布) her song Remember That Night? in November 2020. The post blew up, getting almost three million views in a matter of days. Kays has loved singing since she was young. At 11, she got a guitar from her mother and then started to sing while playing. Gradually, people started asking her to play at restaurants and she also started to post some live videos on YouTube, gaining her more and more followers. At 17, Kays turned to songwriting to help her deal with the confusion (困惑) in life and serve as an outlet for her thoughts and feelings. “I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to release songs and that all these people are listening to them online,” said Kays. “It’s been amazing.” Different from other content creators who update their content frequently, Kays updates on a weekly basis and only posts videos about her songs and related stories, such as singing, playing the guitar or ukulele, shooting music videos. Her videos are always simple, and the recording process is pretty simple too: she edits the vocals and video in her room. Now, Kays has signed with a music company. In Kays’ eyes, people like her songs and videos because she writes about life experiences and emotions of the youth. “I just sing and share my feelings about divorced parents, body image, loneliness and mental health,” said Kays. “I want more people to know they’re not alone with the struggles in their lives.” 26. Why did Kays start to create music? A. She hoped to make money by writing songs. B. She wanted to help parents with their difficulties. C. She wanted to find a way to express her emotions. D. She was requested by her followers to write songs for them. 27. What can we infer about Sara Kays from the passage? A. She started songwriting just for fun. B.

Music Videos Released on TikTok B. The Popularity of Music on TikTok C. A Girl Chasing Her Dream on TikTok D. Different Ways to Use TikTok Well 【答案】26. C 27. D 28. B 29. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了22岁的女孩Sara Kays如何通过TikTok等网络视频平台追逐音乐梦想、发布原创音乐，最终签约唱片公司，并以音乐传递情感、鼓励同龄人的故事。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At 17, Kays turned to songwriting to help her deal with the confusion (困惑) in life and serve as an outlet for her thoughts and feelings.(17岁时，Kays开始创作歌曲，以此应对生活中的困惑，将其作为抒发自己想法和情感的出口。)”可知，Kays开始创作音乐是为了找到表达自己情绪的方式。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I want more people to know they’re not alone with the struggles in their lives.”(“我想让更多人知道，他们在生活中遇到的困境，并不是只有自己在承受。”)”可知，Sara Kays希望让人们在困境中不再感到孤独。故选D。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She not only uses TikTok to promote her music, but also posts songs to get feedback from her followers.(她不仅用TikTok推广自己的音乐，还发布歌曲来获取粉丝的反馈。)”、第三段“At 11, she got a guitar from her mother and then started to sing while playing.(11岁时，她从母亲那里得到了一把吉他，之后开始边弹边唱。)”、第五段“Kays updates on a weekly basis and only posts videos about her songs and related stories, such as singing, playing the guitar or ukulele, shooting music videos.(Kays每周更新一次，只发布和她的歌曲及相关故事有关的视频，比如唱歌、弹吉他或尤克里里、拍摄音乐视频。)”以及最后一段“I want more people to know they’re not alone with the struggles in their lives.(我想让更多人知道，他们在生活中遇到的困境，并不是只有自己在承受。)”可知，她是有创造力的，鼓舞人心的。 故选B。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sara Kays, a 22-year-old girl, is a rising star on online video-sharing platforms. She not only uses TikTok to promote her music, but also posts songs to get feedback from her followers.(22岁的女孩Sara Kays是网络视频分享平台上的一颗新星。她不仅用TikTok推广自己的音乐，还发布歌曲来获取粉丝的反馈。)”及全文内容均围绕这一核心展开可知，C选项“A Girl Chasing Her Dream on TikTok(一位在TikTok上追逐梦想的女孩)”最能概括全文主旨。故选C。 Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight. Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌). It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake. The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions. More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity. “The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?” 30. What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction? A. It influences brain microbiome. B. It works mainly by reducing appetite. C. It affects both the gut and the brain. D. It effectively reduces the gut bacteria. 31. What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants? A. They ate little food on most days. B. Their brain and gut activities changed. C. Their calorie intake increased greatly. D. They lost over 8% of their body weight. 32. What is Wang’s statement about? A. The choice of new research methods. B. The need to involve more researchers. C. The possible direction for further study. D. The potential application of the findings. 33. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B. The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control C. The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D. The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect 【答案】30. C 31. B 32. C 33. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了研究发现间歇热量限制可改变肥胖人群肠道与大脑状态，肠脑联系紧密。探明二者互动机制，有望为预防、改善肥胖问题提供全新解决思路与办法。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.(间歇性的热量限制会对肠道和大脑产生显著影响，这或许为保持健康体重提供了新的可能性)”可知，这项研究发现间歇性节食对肠道和大脑都有影响。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).(参与研究的人员不仅成功减重——平均减重7.6公斤，即体重的7.8%——而且还有证据表明，与肥胖相关的大脑区域的活动发生了变化，肠道细菌的构成也发生了改变)”可知，这项为期62天的研究对参与者大脑和肠道活动发生了变化。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”(“接下来需要解答的问题是，在肥胖人群中（包括那些正在减肥的人），肠道微生物群与大脑之间进行信息交流的确切机制是怎样的。”中国科学院的生物医学科学家王博士说道。“哪些特定的肠道微生物群和大脑区域对于成功减肥以及保持健康体重至关重要呢？”)”可知，王的陈述关于进一步研究的可能方向。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.(科学家们为应对当前的肥胖问题而努力探索，他们取得了一项重要发现：间歇性限制热量摄入会对肠道和大脑产生显著影响，这或许为保持健康体重提供了新的可能性)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现间歇热量限制可改变肥胖人群肠道与大脑状态，肠脑联系紧密。探明二者互动机制，有望为预防、改善肥胖问题提供全新解决思路与办法。可知，B选项“肠脑联系或许有助于控制体重”最符合文章标题。 For decades, cancer research has been disturbed by a persistent problem: the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) often excludes diverse populations. Many medical datasets are overwhelmingly collected from patients of European descent (血统), meaning AI models learn to diagnose and treat cancer depending on a narrow slice of humanity. This lack of diversity can lead to misdiagnosis or ineffective treatment for underrepresented groups. Now, a team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a novel technique that uses generative AI to address this inequality head-on. Instead of simply getting rid of biased data, their model creates synthetic (合成的) medical images — such as breast cancer scans — that are based on the characteristics of real patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. These synthetic images are not of real people; they are digitally generated representations designed to fill the gaps in existing datasets. The potential is transformative. By training diagnostic AI on a more balanced dataset enriched with these synthetic images, the system’s accuracy across all population groups improves significantly. Early tests show that the technique can reduce a form of algorithmic bias known as “underspecification,” where models perform well on paper but fail in real-world, diverse clinical settings. “We are not just fixing the data; we are fundamentally re-engineering the fairness of the model.” explains lead researcher Dr. Sarah Chen. However, the method is a double-edged sword. While it can “unbias” data, the very same technology could be weaponized to increase bias. If an ill-intentioned researcher uses the same technique to generate synthetic data that over-represents a particular group or leads to harmful stereotypes (刻板印象), it could create AI models that are even more prejudiced than those trained on real-world data. The line between correcting historical unfairness and creating new, synthetic ones is pretty thin. This concern places a significant ethical burden on researchers. What should be confirmed is no longer the accuracy of an AI model but the ethical soundness. After all, in the scientists’ eyes it can promise fairer healthcare in the years to come. 34. What problem has puzzled researchers in cancer treatment? A. High cost of collecting data. B. Overuse of AI in diagnosis. C. Biased data sampling. D. Misdiagnosis for patients. 35. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The principle of the technique. B. The process of the representation. C. The purpose of the study. D. The achievements of the design. 36. What is Dr. Sarah Chen’s attitude towards the new method? A. Objective. B. Worried. C. Optimistic D. Doubtful. 37. What should future scientists pay attention to when using AI models? A. Getting rid of the concern. B. Creating more training images. C. Checking for ethical risks. D. Avoiding negative stereotypes. 【答案】34. C 35. A 36. C 37. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了麻省理工学院（MIT）研究团队开发的一项新技术，利用生成式人工智能解决癌症研究中医疗数据集缺乏多样性的问题。文章阐述了该技术的工作原理、潜力、面临的伦理风险以及对未来科研的启示。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For decades, cancer research has been disturbed by a persistent problem: the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) often excludes diverse populations. Many medical datasets are overwhelmingly collected from patients of European descent (血统), meaning AI models learn to diagnose and treat cancer depending on a narrow slice of humanity. (几十年来，癌症研究一直被一个顽固的问题困扰：用于训练人工智能的数据往往排除了多样化的人群。许多医疗数据集绝大多数来自欧洲血统的患者，这意味着人工智能模型是在人类的一个狭窄切片上进行癌症诊断和治疗的。)”可知，困扰癌症治疗研究人员的核心问题是数据采样存在偏见，缺乏多样性。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。第二段首句“Now, a team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a novel technique that uses generative AI to address this inequality head-on. (现在，麻省理工学院计算机科学与人工智能实验室的一个团队开发了一种新技术，利用生成式人工智能正面解决这种不平等。)”点明了段落主旨；随后进一步说明：“Instead of simply getting rid of biased data, their model creates synthetic (合成的) medical images — such as breast cancer scans — that are based on the characteristics of real patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. (他们的模型不是简单地剔除有偏差的数据，而是创造合成医学图像——如乳腺癌扫描图像——这些图像基于来自不同种族和民族背景的真实患者的特征。)”可知，本段整体围绕这项技术的运作原理展开介绍。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Dr. Chen所说的“We are not just fixing the data; we are fundamentally re-engineering the fairness of the model. (我们不仅仅是在修复数据；我们从根本上重新设计了模型的公平性。)”可知，Dr. Chen对这项新方法持积极乐观的态度，认为它能从根本上重新设计模型的公平性，而不仅仅是修补数据。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This concern places a significant ethical burden on researchers. What should be confirmed is no longer the accuracy of an AI model but the ethical soundness. (这种担忧给研究人员带来了重大的伦理负担。现在需要确认的不再是人工智能模型的准确性，而是其伦理合理性。)”可知，未来的科学家在使用人工智能模型时应关注伦理风险的核查。 三、七选五 Our world faces a twofold challenge: feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation. Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution. ___38___ To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting. This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability, making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health. The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. ___39___ They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. ___40___ High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. ___41___ Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion. Besides, collaborations between tech companies, universities, and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation. As climate change intensifies, PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns. Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. ___42___ In a world where every decision matters, there’s no better time to embrace this revolution. A. PA is not without its challenges. B. It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach. C. To overcome these challenges, joint efforts are needed. D.

Dad smiled, handing us a list, “Lily, you’ll handle planning the layout (布局) and buying seedlings (幼苗). Tom, you’ re in charge of clearing the weeds and digging the soil. Teamwork makes the dream work” He paused, glancing at the calendar on the wall where Mom’s birthday was circled in red. “Three months is quite enough for those potato seedlings to bear fruit—perfect timing if we get started now.” The first weekend, conflict erupted. I spent hours researching online but forgot to buy the seedlings, comforting myself “too busy with homework.” Tom was pulling weeds for hours, sweating profusely. Several days later, he marched into the garden expecting to find rows of seedlings, only to be met with empty yard, and then exploded with anger, shouting “You didn’t even do your basic job I’m doing all the hard work while you’re sitting on the couch Look！ My gloves are worn out” I fired back, “Digging is easy My part requires intelligence, not just brute force” We refused to speak to each other, leaving the half-cleared yard in chaos. Dad didn’t intervene immediately; instead, he left a note on the kitchen table, “Labor teaches us responsibility, and teamwork means supporting each other, not blaming.” That night, I couldn’t sleep, remembering how Tom had helped me fix my bike last year, even though he’d had a fever. Meanwhile, Tom lay in his room staring at the layout paper I threw to him earlier that week, recalling the way I’d lingered over the layout drawings many times, saying, “Mom will definitely love it.” The next morning, I woke up at dawn, grabbed my wallet, and raced to the store. I came back with not just tomato seedlings but also a new pair of gardening gloves for Tom. 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。 Para. 1: Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Finally, the big day came—Mom’s birthday. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tom was already in the backyard when I arrived. I approached quietly, holding out the gloves and seedlings. “Sorry I messed up earlier, I shouldn’t have been rude to you.” I mumbled. Tom turned around, with a faint surprise crossing his face. He took them readily and grinned, “That’s all right. Let’s get started.” Together, we planted the seedlings, him digging neat holes and me arranging them according to the layout. Sweat dripped down our faces, but laughter replaced our earlier misunderstanding as we helped each other. We waited, hopeful for a little miracle to take root. Finally, the big day came — Mom’s birthday. We led her to the garden, where ripe tomatoes hung thick and heavy on the branches. Mom hugged us tightly, tears blurring her vision, “This is the best birthday gift — seeing you two work together.” Dad, together with us, picked some fresh tomatoes to make sauce. We enjoyed it, chatting and laughing joyfully. Teamwork and understanding didn’t just grow plants, they bonded our hearts closer and wove our family closer. Family love is a gift far sweeter than any sauce, a memory we would cherish forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述父亲提议将杂草丛生的后院改造成菜园，作者负责规划布局和购买幼苗，弟弟汤姆负责清理杂草和挖土，目标是赶在母亲生日时种出蔬菜。首个周末，因作者忘记买幼苗，两人发生冲突。当晚，姐弟俩回忆起对方的好，第二天，作者一早去买了幼苗和手套。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我到的时候，汤姆已经在后院了”可知，第一段续写应围绕姐弟俩和好后一起劳作展开，描述作者道歉，汤姆接受，两人分工协作种植幼苗，充满欢笑，期待植物生根成长。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，那个重要的日子来临了 —— 妈妈的生日”可知，第二段续写要展现母亲生日当天，菜园成果丰硕，大家一起采摘番茄做酱，一家人欢乐相聚，突出团队合作和理解拉近家人关系，是最珍贵的礼物。 2.续写线索：作者道歉——汤姆接受——两人分工种幼苗——充满欢笑期待收获——母亲生日看到菜园成果感动——家人摘番茄做酱欢乐相聚——感悟团队合作和家庭之爱。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接近：approach /get close to ②咧嘴笑：grin /beam ③拥抱：hug /embrace 情绪类 ①欢乐地：joyfully /merrily ②紧紧地：tightly /firmly 【点睛】【高分句型 1】I approached quietly, holding out the gloves and seedlings.（运用现在分词短语 holding out the gloves and seedlings作伴随状语） 【高分句型 2】Mom hugged us tightly, tears blurring her vision, “This is the best birthday gift—seeing you two work together.”（运用独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 2025-2026学年文县第二中学、第三中学、文县东方学校高二下学期期中考试 （英语）试卷 一、听力题 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 1.

She not only uses TikTok to promote her music, but also posts songs to get feedback (反馈) from her followers. “It’s been cool to engage with people that way,” said Kays, who has been using online platforms to realize her music dream. Now, she is famous on TikTok with about 1.3 million followers. She released (发布) her song Remember That Night? in November 2020. The post blew up, getting almost three million views in a matter of days. Kays has loved singing since she was young. At 11, she got a guitar from her mother and then started to sing while playing. Gradually, people started asking her to play at restaurants and she also started to post some live videos on YouTube, gaining her more and more followers. At 17, Kays turned to songwriting to help her deal with the confusion (困惑) in life and serve as an outlet for her thoughts and feelings. “I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to release songs and that all these people are listening to them online,” said Kays. “It’s been amazing.” Different from other content creators who update their content frequently, Kays updates on a weekly basis and only posts videos about her songs and related stories, such as singing, playing the guitar or ukulele, shooting music videos. Her videos are always simple, and the recording process is pretty simple too: she edits the vocals and video in her room. Now, Kays has signed with a music company. In Kays’ eyes, people like her songs and videos because she writes about life experiences and emotions of the youth. “I just sing and share my feelings about divorced parents, body image, loneliness and mental health,” said Kays. “I want more people to know they’re not alone with the struggles in their lives.” 26. Why did Kays start to create music? A. She hoped to make money by writing songs. B. She wanted to help parents with their difficulties. C. She wanted to find a way to express her emotions. D.

Which of the following words best describe Kays? A. Talented and honest. B. Creative and inspiring. C. Kind and hardworking. D. Responsible and fortunate. 29. What’s the best title for the text? A. Music Videos Released on TikTok B. The Popularity of Music on TikTok C. A Girl Chasing Her Dream on TikTok D. Different Ways to Use TikTok Well Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight. Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌). It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake. The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions. More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity. “The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?” 30. What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction? A. It influences brain microbiome. B. It works mainly by reducing appetite. C. It affects both the gut and the brain. D. It effectively reduces the gut bacteria. 31. What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants? A. They ate little food on most days. B. Their brain and gut activities changed. C. Their calorie intake increased greatly. D. They lost over 8% of their body weight. 32. What is Wang’s statement about? A. The choice of new research methods. B. The need to involve more researchers. C. The possible direction for further study. D. The potential application of the findings. 33. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B. The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control C. The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D. The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect For decades, cancer research has been disturbed by a persistent problem: the data used to train artificial intelligence (AI) often excludes diverse populations. Many medical datasets are overwhelmingly collected from patients of European descent (血统), meaning AI models learn to diagnose and treat cancer depending on a narrow slice of humanity. This lack of diversity can lead to misdiagnosis or ineffective treatment for underrepresented groups. Now, a team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a novel technique that uses generative AI to address this inequality head-on. Instead of simply getting rid of biased data, their model creates synthetic (合成的) medical images — such as breast cancer scans — that are based on the characteristics of real patients from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. These synthetic images are not of real people; they are digitally generated representations designed to fill the gaps in existing datasets. The potential is transformative. By training diagnostic AI on a more balanced dataset enriched with these synthetic images, the system’s accuracy across all population groups improves significantly. Early tests show that the technique can reduce a form of algorithmic bias known as “underspecification,” where models perform well on paper but fail in real-world, diverse clinical settings. “We are not just fixing the data; we are fundamentally re-engineering the fairness of the model.” explains lead researcher Dr. Sarah Chen. However, the method is a double-edged sword. While it can “unbias” data, the very same technology could be weaponized to increase bias. If an ill-intentioned researcher uses the same technique to generate synthetic data that over-represents a particular group or leads to harmful stereotypes (刻板印象), it could create AI models that are even more prejudiced than those trained on real-world data. The line between correcting historical unfairness and creating new, synthetic ones is pretty thin. This concern places a significant ethical burden on researchers. What should be confirmed is no longer the accuracy of an AI model but the ethical soundness. After all, in the scientists’ eyes it can promise fairer healthcare in the years to come. 34. What problem has puzzled researchers in cancer treatment? A. High cost of collecting data. B. Overuse of AI in diagnosis. C. Biased data sampling. D. Misdiagnosis for patients. 35. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The principle of the technique. B. The process of the representation. C. The purpose of the study. D. The achievements of the design. 36. What is Dr. Sarah Chen’s attitude towards the new method? A. Objective. B. Worried. C. Optimistic D. Doubtful. 37. What should future scientists pay attention to when using AI models? A. Getting rid of the concern. B. Creating more training images. C. Checking for ethical risks. D. Avoiding negative stereotypes. 三、七选五 Our world faces a twofold challenge: feeding a population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050 while minimizing environmental degradation. Precision agriculture (PA) emerges as a transformative solution. ___38___ To put it precisely, it uses digital tools and real-time data to tailor farming practices-from planting to harvesting. This data-driven approach promises not only higher yields but also greater sustainability, making it a cornerstone of modern food systems. One example is the use of drones equipped with multispectral sensors to monitor crop health. The drones fly over the fields and take high-resolution photos and data in a variety of light wavelengths. Weaker plants show clear differences in light reflection when compared to healthy ones. ___39___ They can apply fertilizer, water, or pesticides just where they are needed instead of randomly over their fields. ___40___ High upfront costs for equipment and software can exclude small-scale farmers, particularly in low-income regions. Data privacy concerns also arise as more farm operations rely on interconnected digital systems. ___41___ Governments and private sectors must invest in education and rural broadband expansion. Besides, collaborations between tech companies, universities, and farmers’ cooperatives can help speed up innovation. As climate change intensifies, PA will play a critical role in building a food system capable of adapting to shifting weather patterns. Its ability to turn data into actionable insights may well determine whether we can feed future generations without sacrificing the health of our Earth. ___42___ In a world where every decision matters, there’s no better time to embrace this revolution. A. PA is not without its challenges. B. It functions as a one-size-fits-all approach. C. To overcome these challenges, joint efforts are needed. D. Using the information, farmers can make focused decisions. E. It uses advanced technologies to optimize every aspect of farming. F. By making data-dependent decisions, farmers can improve productivity. G. In essence, PA isn’t just about growing more; it’s about growing smarter. 四、完形填空（15空） On a long trip to Brisbane we stopped into a service station in Kilcoy for a bathroom break and some fuel.
