To know body language better, Christina Stach, a 25-year-old healthcare provider, read What Everybody Is Saying by Joe Navarro. “It changed how I communicated with everyone,” she says. While approximately 80% of our interactions with each other are nonverbal—from birth, our body language sends out clues to what we’re thinking, and Stach says, “We can learn to exercise control over it.”
Becoming aware of her own body language, the physician recognized her preferred way of sitting with her arms and legs crossed. While it was comfortable for her, patients considered it discomfort with them. She found the same to be true with eye contact. “I don’t make much eye contact with people because it makes me uncomfortable,” Stach says, “but it makes others think I’m inattentive.”
Armed with the knowledge, she began uncrossing her arms and legs and making more eye contact when in conversation. “Using positive body language helps strengthen patient interactions, and once these habits become natural, you may notice your patients are more receptive to your advice,” she says.
“Talking with patients at eye level is important,” Stach says. “It shows them that I’m here to listen to what they have to say and to make joint decisions about their healthcare.” She recommends that physicians lower their eye level as much as possible by sitting on a low chair facing their patient while the patient remains seated on the exam table.
Eye contact is another important element. “If you’re typing notes into your computer without looking at your patients—even if you are listening and can say everything they said, your body says you aren’t listening,” Stach says. “And you no longer have a closed space of attention with each other.”
Anyway, body language can send a message of care and trust. “In medicine, we’re often in our patient’s face during a medical exam, but when talking with them, being too close may be intrusive, especially in Western cultures where we have broader personal body comfortable distance,” Stach notes. “But in Eastern cultures that distance is much narrower. So, when interacting with people from these cultures, stepping back is seen as offensive (冒犯的)—that’s something to keep in mind.”
24.How did Cristina Stach get better at using body language?
A. By keeping practicing it in her family.
B. By reading a related book.
C. By learning a lot from professionals.
D. By communicating with patients.
25.Why did Cristina Stach change her sitting posture and eye contact?
A. To achieve better care results.
B. To feel more personally comfortable.
C. To show her professional skills.
D. To enhance her specialized knowledge.
26.What is Cristina Stach’s suggestion for physicians talking with patients?
A. Avoiding frequent eye contact.
B. Making decisions for the patients.
C. Repeating everything the patients said.
D. Positioning themselves on lowered seats.
27.What does the underlined word “intrusive” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Relaxing. B. Comfortable. C. Disturbing. D. Formal.
C
Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18, 000 deaths.
In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role.
“Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.”
Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical and computational methods to analyze earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth’s crust (地壳),” said Saldanha.
The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It’s an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha.
28.Why did the author mention Tohoku earthquake in paragraph 1?
A. To demonstrate the movement of tectonic plates.
B. To illustrate the difficulty in earthquake forecast.
C. To reveal the heavy losses caused by earthquakes.
D. To stress the necessity of weakening strain energy.
29.What does the study by UT mainly focus on?
A. The climate change caused by earthquakes.
B. The impact of solar activity on atmosphere.
C. The reasons for increased sunspot numbers.
D. The link between sunspots and earthquakes.
30.Which of the following would Saldanha agree?
A. Solar heat decides earthquake frequency.
B. Tectonic plate pressure grows constantly.
C. Earthquakes occur in the crust’s upper layer.
D. Solar activity data helps predict earthquakes.
31.What does the underlined word “decipher” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Reveal. B. Distinguish. C. Expand. D. Assess.
D
Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50, 000 users. But generative AI works are more likely to display stereotypical (刻板印象的) themes, reducing the novelty of an artist’s work.
The researchers tracked 4 million works published on the website by the artists. The artists self-divided into two groups: those who continued to work using traditional methods—a sort of control group, and those who adopted AI. The latter group, numbering about 5, 800, were identified by the use of tags (标签) on their work, such as “AI-generated” or the names of the AI tools. Works posted into AI art communities on the site were also included.
Artists who adopted AI tools saw their productivity measured by the number of works posted increase by 25 percent over the study period. They also saw a 50 percent rise in the number of “favourites” their work received over six months. But novelty, measured by the subject matter and specific details of the work, decreased for the AI-using group.
“The study completely tracks with my own experience with these tools and spaces,” says Andres Guadamuz at the University of Sussex, UK. “At first, it felt that you could do anything, bring anything in your head into existence, but the more I used them, the more I kept coming back to themes I liked.”
Guadamuz points out that he isn’t judging the quality of the images produced by generative AI nor their originality, nor the creativity involved in the process. All these things are often hotly contested, with some artists saying that generative AI is using their works as training data and limiting their ability to be recognized as creatives.
Zhou at Boston University is also considering these questions. He says, “The generative technology accelerates the ability to produce. But it raises other issues: Are we foregoing the process of understanding what goes into being creative and producing something meaningful, in favour of just being able to brute force our way with technology?”
32.What do we know about the artworks created by AI according to paragraph 1?
A. They are abundant but less creative.
B. They are generative but less popular.
C. They balance popularity with artistic depth.
D. They attract viewers with the trendy subjects.
33.How was the study conducted?
A. By surveying artists’ opinions on AI tools using.
B. By analyzing suggestions on generative AI works.
C. By comparing artworks with different AI involvement.
D. By observing the process of AI-assisted artistic creation.
34.What can be inferred from Guadamuz’s statement?
A. AI tools help artists explore new creative styles.
B. AI users receive more recognition for their creativity.
C. Artists believe AI improves the quality of their artworks.
D. Artists may repeat themes they like when using AI tools.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Unstoppable Rise of AI Artworks
B. The Role of AI in Artistic Productivity
C. The Breakthrough of AI in Artistic Creation
D. The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Artworks

58.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the end of exam week, and I had just finished my English paper. I was happy — especially after writing an unusual story that I thought would surprise my teacher. Just thinking about it made me smile, and with that feeling of pride, I headed home. But on the way, my thoughts started to shift. Had I written too much? Was my story too strange? My excitement slowly turned into anxiety.
At home, I dropped my bag on the sofa and went straight for a shower to cool off from the summer heat. The water crashed onto my face, instantly calming me, but only for a while. I still had another exam the next day, so I gathered my books and began studying. Before long, exhaustion (筋疲力尽) overcame me, and I threw my books aside and fell instantly asleep.
When I woke up, it was almost time for my tutoring review. My last exam was coming up, and my tutor wanted me to go over the key points once more. I hurried to get ready, still feeling the weight of tiredness from studying. A few minutes later, I was sitting in my dadˈs car as we made our way through the heavy traffic. When we arrived, my mind was already racing with the dayˈs exhaustion and worries. Soon, my tutorˈs voice floated through the quiet room as we went over the notes. I tried my best to stay focused, but the cool air from the air conditioner kept pulling me away.
As the class ended, I stepped outside and called my dad, but the noise made it hard to hear him. When I finally spotted him across the road, waving, he looked anxious. Upon reaching him, I learned the car keys were missing.
"What? You must be joking!" I shouted. The heat, the noise, and my own stress from the day started to rise. We searched his pockets and the ground, but found nothing. The harder I searched, the angrier I became.
"Sometimes," he said firmly, "you canˈt find what youˈve lost by panicking. You only see clearly when you stop running in circles."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Dadˈs words landed somewhere deep, calming the storm inside me. ____________________

The moment I spotted the key, joy and relief flooded through me. ______________________

W: When I was 20 years old, unluckily, I had no idea what I wanted to be. The only thing I did know was that I didnˈt want to spend the next 45 years teaching, being a nurse or sitting in an office. But that was before the postman delivered a list of courses that were being offered at the local college. As I looked it through, I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language. It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in varieties of organisations, such as law companies, sports events, banks and so on. I knew I had found the perfect job. I signed up for the course, which to my parentsˈ great pleasure was free. My favourite part was the final lesson, when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song.

To know body language better, Christina Stach, a 25-year-old healthcare provider, read What Everybody Is Saying by Joe Navarro. “It changed how I communicated with everyone,” she says. While approximately 80% of our interactions with each other are nonverbal—from birth, our body language sends out clues to what we’re thinking, and Stach says, “We can learn to exercise control over it.”
Becoming aware of her own body language, the physician recognized her preferred way of sitting with her arms and legs crossed. While it was comfortable for her, patients considered it discomfort with them. She found the same to be true with eye contact. “I don’t make much eye contact with people because it makes me uncomfortable,” Stach says, “but it makes others think I’m inattentive.”
Armed with the knowledge, she began uncrossing her arms and legs and making more eye contact when in conversation. “Using positive body language helps strengthen patient interactions, and once these habits become natural, you may notice your patients are more receptive to your advice,” she says.
“Talking with patients at eye level is important,” Stach says. “It shows them that I’m here to listen to what they have to say and to make joint decisions about their healthcare.” She recommends that physicians lower their eye level as much as possible by sitting on a low chair facing their patient while the patient remains seated on the exam table.
Eye contact is another important element. “If you’re typing notes into your computer without looking at your patients—even if you are listening and can say everything they said, your body says you aren’t listening,” Stach says. “And you no longer have a closed space of attention with each other.”
Anyway, body language can send a message of care and trust. “In medicine, we’re often in our patient’s face during a medical exam, but when talking with them, being too close may be intrusive, especially in Western cultures where we have broader personal body comfortable distance,” Stach notes. “But in Eastern cultures that distance is much narrower. So, when interacting with people from these cultures, stepping back is seen as offensive (冒犯的)—that’s something to keep in mind.”
24.How did Cristina Stach get better at using body language?
A. By keeping practicing it in her family.
B. By reading a related book.
C. By learning a lot from professionals.
D. By communicating with patients.
25.Why did Cristina Stach change her sitting posture and eye contact?
A. To achieve better care results.
B. To feel more personally comfortable.
C. To show her professional skills.
D. To enhance her specialized knowledge.
26.What is Cristina Stach’s suggestion for physicians talking with patients?
A. Avoiding frequent eye contact.
B. Making decisions for the patients.
C. Repeating everything the patients said.
D. Positioning themselves on lowered seats.
27.What does the underlined word “intrusive” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Relaxing. B. Comfortable. C. Disturbing. D. Formal.

Scientists have revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: tectonic plates (构造板块) move, causing strain energy (应变能) to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. However, forecasting earthquakes remains a significant challenge, which was evidenced by the 2011 great Tohoku earthquake. In addition to causing a tsunami that led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster, it resulted in more than 18, 000 deaths.
In recent years, researchers have been trying to figure out a possible relation between the sun and earthquakes. Based on a previous study that connected solar activity with earthquakes, a study conducted by researchers from the University of Tsukuba (UT) cast light on this possibility, confirming that sunspot numbers had some influence on earthquakes and Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, played a role.
“Solar heat drives atmospheric temperature changes, which in turn can affect things like rock properties and underground water movement,” said Junqueira Saldanha, leader of the research team. “Such changes can make rocks tend to break apart. For example, the changes in rainfall and snowmelt can affect the pressure on tectonic plate boundaries. While these factors may not be the main drivers of earthquakes, they could still be playing a role that can help to predict earthquakes.”
Among other findings, the researchers used mathematical and computational methods to analyze earthquake data alongside solar activity records and surface temperatures on Earth. They observed that when they included Earth surface temperatures into their model, the forecasting became more accurate, especially for shallow earthquakes. “That makes sense, since heat and water mostly affect the upper layers of the Earth’s crust (地壳),” said Saldanha.
The findings suggest the transfer of solar heat to the surface of the Earth does affect earthquakes, however minutely, and that incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may help issue earthquake forecasts. “It’s an exciting direction, and we hope our study can decipher the bigger picture of what causes earthquakes,” said Saldanha.
28.Why did the author mention Tohoku earthquake in paragraph 1?
A. To demonstrate the movement of tectonic plates.
B. To illustrate the difficulty in earthquake forecast.
C. To reveal the heavy losses caused by earthquakes.
D. To stress the necessity of weakening strain energy.
29.What does the study by UT mainly focus on?
A. The climate change caused by earthquakes.
B. The impact of solar activity on atmosphere.
C. The reasons for increased sunspot numbers.
D. The link between sunspots and earthquakes.
30.Which of the following would Saldanha agree?
A. Solar heat decides earthquake frequency.
B. Tectonic plate pressure grows constantly.
C. Earthquakes occur in the crust’s upper layer.
D. Solar activity data helps predict earthquakes.
31.What does the underlined word “decipher” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Reveal. B. Distinguish. C. Expand. D. Assess.

Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50, 000 users. But generative AI works are more likely to display stereotypical (刻板印象的) themes, reducing the novelty of an artist’s work.
The researchers tracked 4 million works published on the website by the artists. The artists self-divided into two groups: those who continued to work using traditional methods—a sort of control group, and those who adopted AI. The latter group, numbering about 5, 800, were identified by the use of tags (标签) on their work, such as “AI-generated” or the names of the AI tools. Works posted into AI art communities on the site were also included.
Artists who adopted AI tools saw their productivity measured by the number of works posted increase by 25 percent over the study period. They also saw a 50 percent rise in the number of “favourites” their work received over six months. But novelty, measured by the subject matter and specific details of the work, decreased for the AI-using group.
“The study completely tracks with my own experience with these tools and spaces,” says Andres Guadamuz at the University of Sussex, UK. “At first, it felt that you could do anything, bring anything in your head into existence, but the more I used them, the more I kept coming back to themes I liked.”
Guadamuz points out that he isn’t judging the quality of the images produced by generative AI nor their originality, nor the creativity involved in the process. All these things are often hotly contested, with some artists saying that generative AI is using their works as training data and limiting their ability to be recognized as creatives.
Zhou at Boston University is also considering these questions. He says, “The generative technology accelerates the ability to produce. But it raises other issues: Are we foregoing the process of understanding what goes into being creative and producing something meaningful, in favour of just being able to brute force our way with technology?”
32.What do we know about the artworks created by AI according to paragraph 1?
A. They are abundant but less creative.
B. They are generative but less popular.
C. They balance popularity with artistic depth.
D. They attract viewers with the trendy subjects.
33.How was the study conducted?
A. By surveying artists’ opinions on AI tools using.
B. By analyzing suggestions on generative AI works.
C. By comparing artworks with different AI involvement.
D. By observing the process of AI-assisted artistic creation.
34.What can be inferred from Guadamuz’s statement?
A. AI tools help artists explore new creative styles.
B. AI users receive more recognition for their creativity.
C. Artists believe AI improves the quality of their artworks.
D. Artists may repeat themes they like when using AI tools.
35.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Unstoppable Rise of AI Artworks
B. The Role of AI in Artistic Productivity
C. The Breakthrough of AI in Artistic Creation
D. The Double-Edged Sword of AI in Artworks

58.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the end of exam week, and I had just finished my English paper. I was happy — especially after writing an unusual story that I thought would surprise my teacher. Just thinking about it made me smile, and with that feeling of pride, I headed home. But on the way, my thoughts started to shift. Had I written too much? Was my story too strange? My excitement slowly turned into anxiety.
At home, I dropped my bag on the sofa and went straight for a shower to cool off from the summer heat. The water crashed onto my face, instantly calming me, but only for a while. I still had another exam the next day, so I gathered my books and began studying. Before long, exhaustion (筋疲力尽) overcame me, and I threw my books aside and fell instantly asleep.
When I woke up, it was almost time for my tutoring review. My last exam was coming up, and my tutor wanted me to go over the key points once more. I hurried to get ready, still feeling the weight of tiredness from studying. A few minutes later, I was sitting in my dadˈs car as we made our way through the heavy traffic. When we arrived, my mind was already racing with the dayˈs exhaustion and worries. Soon, my tutorˈs voice floated through the quiet room as we went over the notes. I tried my best to stay focused, but the cool air from the air conditioner kept pulling me away.
As the class ended, I stepped outside and called my dad, but the noise made it hard to hear him. When I finally spotted him across the road, waving, he looked anxious. Upon reaching him, I learned the car keys were missing.
"What? You must be joking!" I shouted. The heat, the noise, and my own stress from the day started to rise. We searched his pockets and the ground, but found nothing. The harder I searched, the angrier I became.
"Sometimes," he said firmly, "you canˈt find what youˈve lost by panicking. You only see clearly when you stop running in circles."
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dadˈs words landed somewhere deep, calming the storm inside me. For a moment, I realized how foolish I had been — tired, impatient, blaming everyone but myself. I took a deep breath and followed him. We retraced his steps — past the seat where students had left their bags, near the snack machine with its bright lights, and finally to the bushes beside the parking lot. We searched the ground carefully until, finally, a small silver key shone in the sunlight, half-hidden beneath a fallen leaf.
The moment I spotted the key, joy and relief flooded through me. My dad brushed dust off his pants and smiled quietly. Relief washed over me, and my tense shoulders finally relaxed. We got into the car, and the ride home felt different. The air was cooler, yet I stayed alert, noticing waving trees, distant chatter, and the golden late afternoon sun. My dad drove calmly, and for a while, neither of us spoke. In that silence, I realized what began as a long, tiring day had ended with a quiet lesson — growing up means learning to stay calm when things fall apart.
