Climb the Miss Jean Brodie Steps to view Edinburgh Castle surrounded by narrow lanes (小巷), and then walk into Greyfriars Kirkyard, a 17th-century cemetery. Sharp-eyed Harry Potter fans will notice familiar names on the tombstones, including ones that inspired the author’s You-Know-Who. 11 a.m.: Step into the past Across from the cemetery is the National Museum of Scotland. Its galleries cover different times and places around the world, with a focus on Scottish history and culture.

For a different experience, visit Surgeons’ Hall, which shows Edinburgh’s medical history. 2 p.m.: Head for the river After morning culture, take a short cable car from Princes Street to Leith. This area has many top-quality restaurants, including Tom Kitchin’s The Kitchin. Its lunch menu features fresh Scottish food for the season, such as the lobster (龙虾) from just three bus stops down the coast, which tastes all the better for it.

The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology. To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said. With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward. One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old Gong Guoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said. Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted. After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded. 41. What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita? A. Her professional background in AI. B. A request from local nursing homes. C. A survey on senior consumption habits. D. Her father’s struggle with digital tools. 42. Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey? A. There is a widespread demand for memoir products. B. Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors. C. Adult children use more memoir products than seniors. D. Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computer software. 43. What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir? A. The historical record of urban development. B. The great suffering caused by wars and conflicts. C. The link between personal stories and history. D. The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth. 44. What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation? A. It includes high-level AI knowledge from its users. B. It acquires users via offline service and trial sessions. C. It focuses on seniors with advanced computer skills. D. It relies on online advertisements to attract elderly users. 45. What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI should be designed with a human touch. B. Seniors can master new technology with ease. C. Technology will soon make eldercare simple. D. Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare. C Many of the drugs we take aren’t actually digested — they pass through our bodies, and down through the sewer (下水道) pipes. Traces of those drugs end up in the bodies of fish and other wildlife. Nobody’s sure what effect they have. Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish. This particular story starts with some fish that live in a creek just downstream from a sewage treatment plant in southern Sweden. Scientists collected the perch (鲈鱼) in that area and discovered that they had accumulated low levels of anxiety drugs in their bodies. Environmental scientist Jonatan Klaminder led a couple of his workmate at Umea University in Sweden to tackle this question in the lab. In the lab, they put some perch in a fish tank to see how they behaved under normal circumstances. Then they added some of a anxiety drug called oxazepam into the tank. The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. “They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. “This drug actually removes some of the fear, the sense of fear, from these fishes. So instead of being afraid they focus on feeding.” Staying close to others is a well-known defense system to avoid natural enemies. In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. The problem doesn’t present an obvious threat to people who might drink water from streams or eat the fish that live in them. The presence of drugs in surface waters — or even in fish and shellfish — is much lower than the levels that you might need to be concerned about, says Bryan Brooks of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, USA. But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.” 46. The author wrote the text in order to ________. A. solve a problem B. give some advice C. tell an interesting story D. show the results of some research 47. Why did the researchers add oxazepam into the fish container? A. To treat a serious fish disease. B. To develop a new anxiety drug. C. To reduce the anxiety of wild perch. D. To copy wild perch’s living conditions. 48. In the experiment, which is one of the perch’s changes in behavior? A. They ate much less food. B. They spent more time alone. C. They helped each other when feeding. D. They worried more about their enemies. 49. According to the research, the anxiety drugs in rivers ________. A. reduce the number of wild perch B. make large fish calm down easily C. have deadly effect on small perch D. help wild fish become much healthier 50. In the opinion of Bryan Brooks, ________. A. drugs in rivers may be a threat to developing countries B. it is quite safe to drink water with anxiety drugs in India C. Americans should be more careful about drugs in rivers D. in the USA fish with drugs in their bodies cannot be eaten D These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways. Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower. A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out. Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes. Work helps teens gain valuable experience,teaches them much needed skills, and provides necessary spending money—but basic rules should be followed. The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. Safe and healthy youth work experiences don’t just happen—teens, parents, and employers must work together to make them happen. 51. What does the first paragraph tell us about today’s teens? A. They are too busy. B. They are quite happy. C. They have an exciting life. D. They have more confidence. 52. What percent of U.S. high school students work part-time according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics? A. About 15%. B. About 25%. C. About 35%. D. About 50%. 53. What is a possible result for a high schooler working two hours every day? A. Getting lower grades. B. Becoming a dropout. C. Finishing high school. D. Having sleep problems. 54. What does the underlined part “lead to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Result from. B. Contribute to. C. Refer to. D. Give away. 55. What is the author’s attitude to the standard 20-hour-a-week limit? A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。 We all know how it feels to go a night without sleep. But a day with little sleep doesn’t always have to be a bad day. We just need to give ourselves a little extra care. So here are some tips to care for yourself after a night with little rest. Firstly, give yourself a break. In our culture, we often feel that we have to push ourselves to do our best even when facing sleeplessness. But it’s okay to take a break. Breaking down tasks or putting off important decisions might be good choices on a sleepy day. Many people choose to drink coffee when they are short of sleep. But time is the key here. If people do drink coffee, they should do it as early as possible. What’s worse than one sleepless night is two sleepless nights. Too much coffee too late in the day can make it harder to fall asleep. It’s also a good idea to let people know you haven’t slept well. Not having enough rest can make us easier to get angry. It can also affect our memory and concentration, making us more likely to make mistakes. Most people expect to be given the message when others haven’t slept well. This way, they will be ready to offer more space and patience. Finally, try exercising. Exercise might be the last thing you want to do on a day when you feel sleepy, yet even a short walk up and down the stairs may help you wake up a bit and lift your spirits. But you have to know your limits, or it might cause serious problems. The best way to exercise on a sleepy day is to do it slowly, gently, and in small amounts. All in all, being short of sleep can be a challenging experience. Still, with care, it is possible to have a good day. 56. What might be good choices on a sleepy day according to Paragraph 2?（不多于8个单词） _____________________________________________________________ 57. When should people drink coffee on a day with little sleep according to Paragraph 3?（不多于4个单词） _____________________________________________________________ 58.

What’s the best way to exercise on a sleepy day?（不多于9个单词） _____________________________________________________________ 60.

Here are some practical suggestions for you. First of all, it’s a good choice to take a Chinese training class. Professional teachers can teach you standard pronunciation and basic grammar systematically, which lays a solid foundation. Besides, you can read Chinese books, newspapers and watch Chinese TV programs in your spare time. This way you will get familiar with daily expressions and cultural backgrounds. What’s more, learning Chinese songs is a fun method. Beautiful melodies help you remember words and sentences easily. Last but not least, make some Chinese friends. You can chat with them in Chinese regularly, and they are willing to correct your mistakes patiently. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Keep practicing and I believe your Chinese will improve rapidly. Best wishes Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
