Who needs culinary (烹饪的) school when you have the Internet and an unstoppable passion for cooking? Braxton Harst, a 12-year-old from Magee, Mississippi, is living proof that a determined kid can become a master cake baker all by himself.
A couple of years ago, Braxton came across cake decorating videos online and was fascinated. He had never baked before, but he was hungry to learn. So, he searched online after homework, and spent hours watching videos. He learned how to make cakes flat and smooth, and how to decorate them.
The first cake he attempted was flatter than a pancake. But Braxton wasn’t discouraged. He changed the recipe, tried again, and soon was making tasty and pretty cakes. Fast forward to now: this seventh-grader is turning out excellent cakes that wouldn’t look out of place in a bakery window.
One of his most impressive creations was featured at the school bake sale and sold out in minutes. Braxton says his favorite part is the creativity: “Baking is like science and art mixed together. I can experiment and express myself. And it’s delicious!” His mom admits the kitchen often looks like a “flour storm” hit it, but she couldn’t be prouder.
Braxton has even started a small side hustle (副业), selling custom cakes to family friends, with all earnings saved for his dream of attending a real culinary institute one day. But for now, he’s content to inspire others — he’s gained a local following on social media where he shares baking tips with fellow teens.
Braxton’s journey shows that with curiosity, patience, and an Internet connection, a kid can transform an ordinary kitchen into a springboard for exceptional abilities. His advice to other young people: “Find something you love, learn everything about it, and don’t be afraid to mess up.” This is sweet wisdom coming from a rising star baker.
4. What initially inspired Braxton Harst to start baking cakes?
A. His mother’s encouragement. B. His interest in science and art.
C. Online cake decorating videos. D. The school bake sale.
5. What do we know about Braxton’s first attempt at making a cake?
A. The cake tasted delicious. B. The cake was not so successful.
C. The cake was decorated simply. D. The cake sold out in no time.
6. What does Braxton think is the most enjoyable part of baking?
A. Making money from selling cakes. B. Following the recipes strictly.
C. The process of hands-on experimentation. D. The innovation involved in it.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Start a Business as a Chef: Baking Cakes B. The Importance of Culinary School
C. From Zero to Hero: A Boy’s Baking Journey D. The Science and Art of Baking Cakes
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C

People often grumble that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge (烂泥), all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects.
Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to preserve plastics,” she says.
Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common.
We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve, will have a strong impact on how we’ll be seen in the future. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash. But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful — and even cherished.
8. What is the main challenge for museums mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Collecting water bottles and shopping bags.
B. Handling the extremely durable plastic trash.
C. Preserving plastic objects that degrade easily.
D. Restoring traditional materials like wood and glass.
9. What can we know about the preservation of plastics from the text?
A. It faces increasing difficulties in the future.
B. It has been completely mastered by researchers.
C. It is easier than restoring traditional paintings.
D. It mainly focuses on biodegradable plastic items.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly want to convey?
A. Future archaeologists will only see plastic trash from the 21st century.
B. Museums’ efforts on plastics may shape how future generations view us.
C. Plastic items today are widely considered meaningful objects.
D. Poisonous waste will prevent museums from preserving plastic objects.
11. Where can this passage be found?
A. In a history textbook. B. In a fashion magazine.
C. In a science report. D. In a science fiction book.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C

Shaped like a soup can with a rounded body, the robot stands on a wearer’s shoulder like a parrot. It can speak fluent Anishinaabemowin, an Indigenous (土著的) language spoken by the Anishinaabe nation of North America. Danielle Boyer, a 24-year-old Anishinaabe roboticist, created the “Skobot” to communicate in endangered Indigenous languages. By enabling young speakers to practice with an engaging partner, she aims to keep these languages alive despite the growing dominance of English.
New AI technologies are revolutionizing the way we approach language preservation. Most AI translation systems require vast training data for accuracy, and models for high-resource languages like English and Spanish are typically trained on millions of parallel sentence pairs. However, Indigenous languages often have little public data, posing significant challenges for standard translation methods. To address this, Jared Coleman, a computer scientist at Loyola Marymount University, developed a tool that instructs a large language model in the grammar and vocabulary of a target language, ensuring grammatical accuracy in the output sentences.
Since different communities have different cultural traditions, training AI models on material in Indigenous languages, particularly ancestral stories and folk tales, can lead to unintended consequences. As Coleman explained, certain stories are traditionally told only during the wintertime in his community. “How do you maintain that tradition if it’s available online?” he says. In other words, AI models do not understand cultural nuance (细微差别). If they are not trained appropriately, they can mishandle sensitive cultural information.
Indigenous researchers are undertaking AI language preservation initiatives to promote greater accessibility and diversity at the forefront of technological innovation. As researchers Uma Pradhan and Joyeeta Dey have explained, AI language preservation helps address historical injustice for communities previously discouraged or even prohibited from speaking their native tongues. These initiatives not only support language revitalization (复兴) by increasing the number of speakers but also emphasize the cultural significance of these languages within technological spaces long dominated by English, Mandarin Chinese and a handful of other global languages.
12. Why was “Skobot” created?
A. To provide real-time language translation.
B. To assist in learning endangered languages.
C. To help Indigenous people acquire new languages.
D. To improve the efficiency of practicing oral English.
13. What makes Indigenous languages difficult for AI translation systems to deal with?
A. Limited vocabulary. B. Insufficient training data.
C. Complex grammatical rules. D. Considerable regional differences.
14. What is a problem of AI models in handling Indigenous stories according to Coleman?
A. They dismiss important details.
B. They confuse historical timelines.
C. They misinterpret traditional customs.
D. They fail to fully grasp cultural contexts.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of AI in language preservation.
B. The key role of AI in promoting global languages.
C. The impact of communication on community culture.
D. Indigenous researchers’ efforts to revitalize languages.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一款名为“Skobot”的机器人旨在帮助濒危土著语言的学习与传承,同时探讨了AI技术在土著语言保护中的应用、面临的挑战以及其重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第一段中的“Danielle Boyer, a 24-year-old Anishinaabe roboticist, created the ‘Skobot’ to communicate in endangered Indigenous languages. By enabling young speakers to practice with an engaging partner, she aims to keep these languages alive despite the growing dominance of English.(24岁的Anishinaabe机器人专家Danielle Boyer创造了‘Skobot’,使其能够用濒危的土著语言进行交流。通过让年轻使用者能与一个有趣的伙伴练习,她的目标是在英语日益占主导地位的情况下,保持这些语言的活力。)”可知,“Skobot”被创造出来是为了帮助人们学习和练习濒危的土著语言。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“However, Indigenous languages often have little public data, posing significant challenges for standard translation methods.(然而,土著语言通常只有很少的公开数据,这给标准的翻译方法带来了重大挑战。)”可知,导致AI翻译系统难以处理土著语言的原因是缺乏足够的训练数据。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“In other words, AI models do not understand cultural nuance (细微差别). If they are not trained appropriately, they can mishandle sensitive cultural information.(换句话说,AI模型不理解文化细微差别。如果训练不当,它们可能会错误处理敏感的文化信息。)”以及Coleman提到的关于故事只能在冬天讲述的传统会被在线可用性打破的例子可知,AI模型在处理土著故事时的问题是它们无法完全掌握文化背景。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“As researchers Uma Pradhan and Joyeeta Dey have explained, AI language preservation helps address historical injustice for communities previously discouraged or even prohibited from speaking their native tongues. These initiatives not only support language revitalization by increasing the number of speakers but also emphasize the cultural significance of these languages within technological spaces long dominated by English, Mandarin Chinese and a handful of other global languages.(正如研究员乌玛・普拉丹与乔伊塔・戴伊所阐释的:AI语言保护有助于解决历史上对那些被阻止甚至被禁止说母语的社区的不公正待遇。这些举措不仅通过增加使用者数量来支持语言复兴,还强调了这些语言在长期被英语、普通话和少数其他全球语言主导的技术空间中的文化意义。)”可知,最后一段主要讲述了AI在语言保护中的重要意义。

Achieving success is not merely a matter of luck or talent. ____16____ Here are some basic principles that people of achievement live by and you can apply them starting today.
People of achievement create an environment that breeds (孕育) success. That means that you shouldn’t keep company with negative people, read information made for the masses, eat unhealthy food, or the like. ____17____ Instead, communicate with those with similar goals, read biographies of successful people, go to places that increase your energy, and take care of your health. All that is part of the person you’re trying to become.
People of achievement don’t listen to naysayers (反对者). There will be at least a few people in your surroundings that will tell you that your goal is not worth pursuing, that what you’re doing is crazy, and that your idea is impossible. ____18____ Successful people maintain an unwavering belief in their abilities and direction, even when faced with doubt or criticism from others.
____19____ If you avoid learning new stuff, you’re only getting further from success. But prosperous people, hard-working entrepreneurs, high achievers and outstanding artists all constantly learn new things. They learn from others, from the past, reading, and travelling and get to know themselves more. That helps them go beyond themselves every day.
People of achievement work smarter. The average person wastes a lot of time daily doing meaningless things like overthinking, feeling sorry for himself, being lazy and more. Highly productive individuals get better at time management, eliminate anything that’s not productive, wake up earlier, stop multitasking, delegate (把……委托给) and automate what they can and have more time to do what matters. ____20____
A. It’s rooted in intentional choices in life.
B. People of achievement don’t make excuses.
C. People of achievement are all students of life.
D. They appreciate what’s around them right now.
E. It’s about doing the right things, not just doing more.
F. Your job is to ignore that and focus on your vision instead.
G. All those affect your judgment, energy levels, health, and success.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. C 20. E

【18题详解】
根据前文“There will be at least a few people in your surroundings that will tell you that your goal is not worth pursuing, that what you’re doing is crazy, and that your idea is impossible.(你身边至少会有一些人告诉你,你的目标不值得追求,你所做的事很疯狂,你的想法不可能实现。)”可知,前文提到身边反对者的负面言论,F选项“Your job is to ignore that and focus on your vision instead.(你要做的就是忽略这些,专注于你的目标。)”给出应对负面言论的正确做法,与后文成功者坚定信念的内容一致,符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
此处应为本段的中心句,与其他段落结构相同,根据空后的“If you avoid learning new stuff, you’re only getting further from success. But prosperous people, hard-working entrepreneurs, high achievers and outstanding artists all constantly learn new things.(如果你回避学习新事物,你只会离成功越来越远。但是成功人士、勤奋的企业家、高成就者和杰出的艺术家都不断学习新事物。)”可知,本段核心是成功者坚持学习,C选项“People of achievement are all students of life.(成功者都是生活的学习者。)”能概括本段主题,符合语境。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Highly productive individuals get better at time management, eliminate anything that’s not productive, wake up earlier, stop multitasking, delegate and automate what they can and have more time to do what matters.(高效的人更擅长时间管理,摒弃所有无用的事,早起,停止同时处理多项任务,委托并尽可能自动化工作,有更多时间做重要的事。)”可知,前文介绍成功者聪明工作的具体做法,E选项“It’s about doing the right things, not just doing more.(关键在于做正确的事,而不只是做更多的事。)”总结“聪明工作”的核心内涵,符合语境。故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国灯笼文化历史悠久,以自贡灯会为代表,传承非遗并走向世界,承载团圆与思乡之情。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:像照亮回家路的灯塔,在元宵节和中秋节这两个团圆佳节赏灯是一种习俗。结合句意,此处表示“像”,其后接名词a beacon,用介词like,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Like。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为照亮回家路的灯塔,在元宵节和中秋节这两个团圆佳节赏灯是一种习俗。此处为固定句型“it is a custom to do sth.”,意为“做某事是一种习俗”,it作形式主语,真正主语为动词不定式,所以用to admire。故填to admire。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:提到中国灯笼,就不得不提到中国西南部四川省的自贡市,它常被誉为“灯之城”。此处为非谓语动词作定语,a city与recognize为被动关系,所以用过去分词recognized。故填recognized。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:早在唐代,自贡就开始了节日赏灯的习俗。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“as early as the Tang Dynasty”可知,描述过去发生的动作,用一般过去时,所以用began。故填began。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:为了增添美感,自贡工匠还使用各种各样的材料,如丝绸、纸张、竹子、稻草,甚至瓷器。此处为固定搭配varieties of,意为“各种各样的”,所以用复数形式varieties。故填varieties。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:灯笼制作如今是当地经济的驱动力,因为节日表演中使用的大型灯笼大多产自自贡。此处为谓语动词,描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语large-scale lanterns与produce为被动关系,主语是复数,所以用are produced。故填are produced。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一年一度的自贡灯会也是该市旅游业的一大亮点。此处draw为可数名词单数,意为“有吸引力的事物”,空前无限定词,此处表示“一大亮点”为泛指,且major是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意:游客蜂拥至自贡赏灯,还参加许多其他娱乐活动。此处修饰名词activities,用recreation的形容词形式recreational。故填recreational。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:自贡工匠的巧手还将这项国家级非物质文化遗产带到海外,在全球70多个国家和地区的灯展上呈现出精彩纷呈的表演。此处为非谓语动词作状语,前面整件事与stage为主动关系,所以用现在分词staging。故填staging。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:对中国人来说,灯笼不仅照亮了黑夜,也照亮了渴望归家的心。此处引导定语从句,先行词是hearts,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。

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。
Leo had been dreaming about this night for months. Ever since he saw a poster at the local library announcing the “Great August Meteor Shower (流星雨)”, he had been fascinated. But he didn’t just want to watch the meteors; he wanted to see them through his own telescope.
In the corner of the garage, Leo worked on his project every day. It was a telescope kit he had found in his grandfather’s garage. Though old and a bit worn, it meant a lot to him. He carefully cleaned the mirrors and followed the instructions in the worn guidebook. His grandfather often sat nearby, quietly watching him. “You’re doing a great job,” Grandpa said with a smile. “A telescope helps, of course. But in the end, it’s how you look at the sky that really matters.” Leo nodded, though his attention soon returned to the small, shining pieces in his hands.
By Friday, the telescope was finally ready. Leo named it the Sky-Scanner. Though it looked a little unsteady on its wooden stand, it worked well enough. When he tested it on a distant chimney (烟囱), the image appeared clear. A wave of excitement ran through him — he was ready.
That evening, Leo set up everything in the backyard. The air was cool, and the smell of fresh grass filled the air. With a small red flashlight, he checked his star map and adjusted the telescope toward the horizon (地平线). One by one, stars began to appear in the darkening sky.
Just as he leaned forward to make a final adjustment, his foot caught on a garden water pipe. He was trapped and hit the stand. With a sharp sound, the eyepiece fell off and disappeared into the grass. Leo dropped to his knees and searched desperately, but the yard was too dark. “No,” he whispered, his voice shaking. “I’ve ruined everything.” The meteor shower was supposed to peak in thirty minutes, and without that tiny piece of glass, the stars would seem like distant, unclear dots.
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。
Just then, Grandpa came over, holding a lantern.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Moments later, Leo lay on the grass, quieter now, staring at the sky.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Just then, Grandpa came over, holding a lantern. “Grandpa, I can’t find the eyepiece!” Leo said anxiously. Together they searched the grass, the soft light moving slowly back and forth. After a while, however, Grandpa stopped and gently reminded Leo that he had already done well and should not miss the sky because of one small piece. Leo paused, his hands still in the grass. For a moment, he hesitated, then slowly straightened up and followed his grandfather’s gaze into the dark sky.
Moments later, Leo lay on the grass, quieter now, staring at the sky. At first, it seemed just as he had imagined. But suddenly, a bright streak of light crossed the darkness, followed by another. Soon, more meteors flashed overhead. Leo’s eyes widened. The sky was far from empty. He watched quietly, afraid to miss a moment. Then he understood that the telescope mattered, but so did patience and the willingness to look. At that moment, he realized he hadn’t lost the night at all.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Leo数月来一直盼着看八月的流星雨,他想要用自己亲手做的望远镜观测。他从爷爷的车库里找到一套老旧的望远镜组件打磨组装,爷爷时常在一旁陪伴,并告诉他“望远镜只是助力,真正重要的是你看待天空的方式”,但当时Leo没有体会这句话的意思。流星雨到来的当晚他在后院布置好准备观测,但不小心将目镜掉落在黑暗的草地上怎么都找不到。距离流星雨达到峰值只剩半小时,Leo崩溃地觉得一切都毁了。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“就在这时,爷爷走了过来,手里拿着一盏灯笼。”可知,第一段可描写爷爷和Leo一起寻找目镜无果,经过爷爷的提醒Leo犹豫地望向夜空。
②由第二段首句内容“片刻之后,Leo躺在草地上,此刻安静了许多,凝视着天空。”可知,第二段可描写Leo观看流星雨的过程和感悟。
2.续写线索:爷爷帮助一起寻找无果——爷爷温柔提醒——Leo起身犹豫地望向夜空——躺在草地上观看流星雨——感悟

Who needs culinary (烹饪的) school when you have the Internet and an unstoppable passion for cooking? Braxton Harst, a 12-year-old from Magee, Mississippi, is living proof that a determined kid can become a master cake baker all by himself.
A couple of years ago, Braxton came across cake decorating videos online and was fascinated. He had never baked before, but he was hungry to learn. So, he searched online after homework, and spent hours watching videos. He learned how to make cakes flat and smooth, and how to decorate them.
The first cake he attempted was flatter than a pancake. But Braxton wasn’t discouraged. He changed the recipe, tried again, and soon was making tasty and pretty cakes. Fast forward to now: this seventh-grader is turning out excellent cakes that wouldn’t look out of place in a bakery window.
One of his most impressive creations was featured at the school bake sale and sold out in minutes. Braxton says his favorite part is the creativity: “Baking is like science and art mixed together. I can experiment and express myself. And it’s delicious!” His mom admits the kitchen often looks like a “flour storm” hit it, but she couldn’t be prouder.
Braxton has even started a small side hustle (副业), selling custom cakes to family friends, with all earnings saved for his dream of attending a real culinary institute one day. But for now, he’s content to inspire others — he’s gained a local following on social media where he shares baking tips with fellow teens.
Braxton’s journey shows that with curiosity, patience, and an Internet connection, a kid can transform an ordinary kitchen into a springboard for exceptional abilities. His advice to other young people: “Find something you love, learn everything about it, and don’t be afraid to mess up.” This is sweet wisdom coming from a rising star baker.
4. What initially inspired Braxton Harst to start baking cakes?
A. His mother’s encouragement. B. His interest in science and art.
C. Online cake decorating videos. D. The school bake sale.
5. What do we know about Braxton’s first attempt at making a cake?
A. The cake tasted delicious. B. The cake was not so successful.
C. The cake was decorated simply. D. The cake sold out in no time.
6. What does Braxton think is the most enjoyable part of baking?
A. Making money from selling cakes. B. Following the recipes strictly.
C. The process of hands-on experimentation. D. The innovation involved in it.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Start a Business as a Chef: Baking Cakes B. The Importance of Culinary School
C. From Zero to Hero: A Boy’s Baking Journey D. The Science and Art of Baking Cakes

People often grumble that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge (烂泥), all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects.
Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to preserve plastics,” she says.
Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common.
We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve, will have a strong impact on how we’ll be seen in the future. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash. But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful — and even cherished.
8. What is the main challenge for museums mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Collecting water bottles and shopping bags.
B. Handling the extremely durable plastic trash.
C. Preserving plastic objects that degrade easily.
D. Restoring traditional materials like wood and glass.
9. What can we know about the preservation of plastics from the text?
A. It faces increasing difficulties in the future.
B. It has been completely mastered by researchers.
C. It is easier than restoring traditional paintings.
D. It mainly focuses on biodegradable plastic items.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly want to convey?
A. Future archaeologists will only see plastic trash from the 21st century.
B. Museums’ efforts on plastics may shape how future generations view us.
C. Plastic items today are widely considered meaningful objects.
D. Poisonous waste will prevent museums from preserving plastic objects.
11. Where can this passage be found?
A. In a history textbook. B. In a fashion magazine.
C. In a science report. D. In a science fiction book.

Shaped like a soup can with a rounded body, the robot stands on a wearer’s shoulder like a parrot. It can speak fluent Anishinaabemowin, an Indigenous (土著的) language spoken by the Anishinaabe nation of North America. Danielle Boyer, a 24-year-old Anishinaabe roboticist, created the “Skobot” to communicate in endangered Indigenous languages. By enabling young speakers to practice with an engaging partner, she aims to keep these languages alive despite the growing dominance of English.
New AI technologies are revolutionizing the way we approach language preservation. Most AI translation systems require vast training data for accuracy, and models for high-resource languages like English and Spanish are typically trained on millions of parallel sentence pairs. However, Indigenous languages often have little public data, posing significant challenges for standard translation methods. To address this, Jared Coleman, a computer scientist at Loyola Marymount University, developed a tool that instructs a large language model in the grammar and vocabulary of a target language, ensuring grammatical accuracy in the output sentences.
Since different communities have different cultural traditions, training AI models on material in Indigenous languages, particularly ancestral stories and folk tales, can lead to unintended consequences. As Coleman explained, certain stories are traditionally told only during the wintertime in his community. “How do you maintain that tradition if it’s available online?” he says. In other words, AI models do not understand cultural nuance (细微差别). If they are not trained appropriately, they can mishandle sensitive cultural information.
Indigenous researchers are undertaking AI language preservation initiatives to promote greater accessibility and diversity at the forefront of technological innovation. As researchers Uma Pradhan and Joyeeta Dey have explained, AI language preservation helps address historical injustice for communities previously discouraged or even prohibited from speaking their native tongues. These initiatives not only support language revitalization (复兴) by increasing the number of speakers but also emphasize the cultural significance of these languages within technological spaces long dominated by English, Mandarin Chinese and a handful of other global languages.
12. Why was “Skobot” created?
A. To provide real-time language translation.
B. To assist in learning endangered languages.
C. To help Indigenous people acquire new languages.
D. To improve the efficiency of practicing oral English.
13. What makes Indigenous languages difficult for AI translation systems to deal with?
A. Limited vocabulary. B. Insufficient training data.
C. Complex grammatical rules. D. Considerable regional differences.
14. What is a problem of AI models in handling Indigenous stories according to Coleman?
A. They dismiss important details.
B. They confuse historical timelines.
C. They misinterpret traditional customs.
D. They fail to fully grasp cultural contexts.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of AI in language preservation.
B. The key role of AI in promoting global languages.
C. The impact of communication on community culture.
D. Indigenous researchers’ efforts to revitalize languages.

Achieving success is not merely a matter of luck or talent. ____16____ Here are some basic principles that people of achievement live by and you can apply them starting today.
People of achievement create an environment that breeds (孕育) success. That means that you shouldn’t keep company with negative people, read information made for the masses, eat unhealthy food, or the like. ____17____ Instead, communicate with those with similar goals, read biographies of successful people, go to places that increase your energy, and take care of your health. All that is part of the person you’re trying to become.
People of achievement don’t listen to naysayers (反对者). There will be at least a few people in your surroundings that will tell you that your goal is not worth pursuing, that what you’re doing is crazy, and that your idea is impossible. ____18____ Successful people maintain an unwavering belief in their abilities and direction, even when faced with doubt or criticism from others.
____19____ If you avoid learning new stuff, you’re only getting further from success. But prosperous people, hard-working entrepreneurs, high achievers and outstanding artists all constantly learn new things. They learn from others, from the past, reading, and travelling and get to know themselves more. That helps them go beyond themselves every day.
People of achievement work smarter. The average person wastes a lot of time daily doing meaningless things like overthinking, feeling sorry for himself, being lazy and more. Highly productive individuals get better at time management, eliminate anything that’s not productive, wake up earlier, stop multitasking, delegate (把……委托给) and automate what they can and have more time to do what matters. ____20____
A. It’s rooted in intentional choices in life.
B. People of achievement don’t make excuses.
C. People of achievement are all students of life.
D. They appreciate what’s around them right now.
E. It’s about doing the right things, not just doing more.
F. Your job is to ignore that and focus on your vision instead.
G. All those affect your judgment, energy levels, health, and success.

Leo had been dreaming about this night for months. Ever since he saw a poster at the local library announcing the “Great August Meteor Shower (流星雨)”, he had been fascinated. But he didn’t just want to watch the meteors; he wanted to see them through his own telescope.
In the corner of the garage, Leo worked on his project every day. It was a telescope kit he had found in his grandfather’s garage. Though old and a bit worn, it meant a lot to him. He carefully cleaned the mirrors and followed the instructions in the worn guidebook. His grandfather often sat nearby, quietly watching him. “You’re doing a great job,” Grandpa said with a smile. “A telescope helps, of course. But in the end, it’s how you look at the sky that really matters.” Leo nodded, though his attention soon returned to the small, shining pieces in his hands.
By Friday, the telescope was finally ready. Leo named it the Sky-Scanner. Though it looked a little unsteady on its wooden stand, it worked well enough. When he tested it on a distant chimney (烟囱), the image appeared clear. A wave of excitement ran through him — he was ready.
That evening, Leo set up everything in the backyard. The air was cool, and the smell of fresh grass filled the air. With a small red flashlight, he checked his star map and adjusted the telescope toward the horizon (地平线). One by one, stars began to appear in the darkening sky.
Just as he leaned forward to make a final adjustment, his foot caught on a garden water pipe. He was trapped and hit the stand. With a sharp sound, the eyepiece fell off and disappeared into the grass. Leo dropped to his knees and searched desperately, but the yard was too dark. “No,” he whispered, his voice shaking. “I’ve ruined everything.” The meteor shower was supposed to peak in thirty minutes, and without that tiny piece of glass, the stars would seem like distant, unclear dots.

Moments later, Leo lay on the grass, quieter now, staring at the sky.
