Madagascar is not a good place for cycling holiday: one of the world’s poorest countries, only 11 percent of roadway is paved. South of the town of Antalaha, where I started, the road was in worse condition. I appeared from a week in the wilderness and reached the start of the Route National 5 at Maroantsetra, but my dream of a smooth road and speed was suddenly destroyed by mud. The “worst road in the country” changed my bicycle into a burden for days. Finally, I was claimed by the road. Tired. Alone. As I wiped (擦) the mud from my face and looked upwards, I was greeted by a Malagasy man. He helped me stand up and smiled playfully while he pointed to my bike, which sat next to his. I started again. But I fell again in the mud. Angrily, I told him to go on, but if he understood he showed no sign of it. His smile forced me back onto the bike. We continued like this for hours. But I fell less. Studying my quick guide, slowly I learned. As we passed through a village, a group of children saw me and shouted loudly. His only words were: “Their parents tell them white people steal and eat them. Funny, no?” I tried to ask why, but he had already set off. I tried to catch up; as I got closer, he took it as a challenge and sped up. We raced along the road. I rode a little faster and I was just behind, about to catch up with him. With a smile, he sped up and was away, leaving me breathless. 11. What was in the author’s mind when he was in the mud? A. He considered his experience a special pleasure. B. He made up his mind to continue challenging himself. C. He tried to think out a new road for cycling in Antalaha. D. He regretted having the cycling holiday in Madagascar. 12. How did the Malagasy man help the author? A. By showing him the right way. B. By wiping the mud from his bike. C. By riding in front of him all the way. D. By teaching him how to ride in the mud. 13. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Lonely Trip B. A Bicycle Race C. A Lesson in Cycling D. A Road in Madagascar B A new study reveals that pigeons (鸽子) can tackle some problems just like artificial intelligence, enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans. Previous research has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy, involving a trial-and-error approach, which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans’ reliance on selective attention and rule use. To examine it, Brandon Turner, a psychology professor at the Ohio State University, and his colleagues conducted the new study. In the study, the pigeons were presented with various visual images, including lines of different widths and angles, and different types of rings. The pigeons had to peck (啄) a button on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged. If they got it correct, they received food; if they were wrong, they received nothing. Results showed that, through trial and error, the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks, increasing their correct choices from about 55% to 95%. Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning, which is linking two phenomena with each other. For example, it is easy to understand the link between “water” and “wet”. “Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to explain complex visual categorization like what we saw the pigeons do,” Turner said. But that’s exactly what the researchers found. The researchers’ AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were assumed to use: associative learning and error correction. And, like the pigeons, the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of correct answers. For humans, the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that they would try to come up with rules that could make the task easier. But in this case, there were no rules, which upsets humans. “What’s interesting, though, is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar to AI designed by humans,” Turner said. “We celebrate how smart we are that we designed artificial intelligence; at the same time, we regard pigeons as not clever animals,” he said. 14. What is the purpose of the new study? A. To test a theory. B. To evaluate a model. C. To employ a strategy. D. To introduce an approach. 15. What do pigeons and AI have in common according to the study? A. They are of equal intelligence. B. They are good at making rules. C. They respond rapidly to orders from humans. D. They employ simple ways to get things done. 16. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Pigeons’ trial-and-error method is revealed B. Pigeons outperform humans in tough tasks C. “Not smart” pigeons may be as smart as AI D. AI models after pigeons’ learning approach C For me, growing up from a girl into a woman was developing a hatred for my body. When I was a kid, I didn’t think about my body all that much. My attitude towards my body changed around middle school when people were talking about “staying in shape” and going on diets. And thus I started to internalize the harmful standard that we have to look good all the time. Looks are given far too much importance in our society. Women are supposed to look perfect all the time. We are supposed to idolize (崇拜) celebrities who have far more time and money to spend on their appearance than the average persons. It is simply not attainable. I love the idea of body positivity. I firmly believe that everyone should try to love themselves as much as possible. However, it’s almost impossible to love every part of your body all the time. Personally, I could never achieve that. It is a good idea to promote body positivity in theory, but it also allows us to beat ourselves up because we don’t love ourselves all the time. Body neutrality (中立) is a much more attainable goal. Body neutrality promotes the idea that your body is simply your body instead of thinking something is good or bad. This mentality is easier to achieve, and it doesn’t force you to try to love thing you don’t love. We don’t need to love every part of our body — it’s just a body. Another way to view your body is to be thankful for everything that it does for you rather than how it looks. For example, I am appreciative of my body that allows me to go skiing because I love skiing. This shift in mentality can be helpful because it focuses on your body’s ability to do things you love, instead of your appearance. Ultimately, the ideal mentality is loving every part of your body all the time. However, the more realistic alternative is accepting your body for what it is and what it does for you. Love can come after, but neutrality is a good place to start. 17. Why did the author change her attitude towards appearance around middle school? A. Because she was influenced by others. B. Because she began to dislike her body. C. Because she thought it important to stay in shape. D. Because she fail to meet her school’s standard. 18. What is the author’s attitude towards body positivity? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Prejudiced. D. Indifferent. 19. What does body neutrality promote? A. Pursuing perfection in terms of body image. B. Trying to change your appearance constantly. C. Loving every part of your body unconditionally. D. Accepting your body as it is without judgement. 20. What is the suggested mentality towards your body? A. Ignoring its limitations. B. Focusing on appearance. C. Being grateful for its capabilities. D. Being critical of its imperfections. 第二节 语句排序（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 将下列几个部分（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 21 → 22 → 23 → 24 → 25 A. Kanazawa began competing seriously at age 20 and won the Japan championship four years later. By 34, after winning his second Mister Japan title, he retired. However, he returned to bodybuilding before turning 50 to encourage his wife, who struggled with health issue. He believed his victories brought her the most happiness, so he resumed training, improved his diet, and began competing again. B. “I’m still not anywhere near the finish line. It’s important to keep setting goals no matter how old you are,” Kanazawa says. His journey shows that passion knows no age limits. C. Getting older doesn’t mean we have to stop doing the things that make us feel alive. Toshisuke Kanazawa, an 86-year-old Japanese bodybuilder, is living proof of that.

At 57, Kanazawa won the Masters Championships for bodybuilders aged 40 and above. Over the years, he has been a Japan champion 15 times.

Are you a teacher or a businessperson? Or maybe you are a lawyer / writer or a teacher / photographer. 26 The term “slash career” comes from the punctuation mark (标点符号) — a slash that comes between job titles. People with slash careers often have a primary job that provides for most of their needs. The primary job usually comes before the slash. 27 This secondary job can help supplement income. Why would anyone went more than one job? Some people look to their jobs for opportunities to develop their interests. But most people have too many interests for one job. Secondary jobs can be enjoyable if they include interests that the primary job doesn’t touch. Some people who encourage slash careers say they actually help with work-life balance. 28 On the other hand, a slash career can be dangerous for work-life balance. 29 One might give up necessary things like relaxation, exercise or time with one’s family. People with slash careers need to think carefully about how they use their time. This includes knowing when to stop working. The clear advantage of slash careers is the extra income that secondary jobs provide. It’s always helpful to have a little extra money to spend or save. 30 With a slash career, losing one’s job does not mean losing one’s entire income. Or a secondary job may be so successful that it can turn into one’s primary job. If your interests stretch beyond your ordinary job, a slash career may work for you. A. Slash careers provide extra money. B. Slash careers also make one’s life more stable. C. Taking more than one job can fill up all of your time. D. If you have more than one job, you have a slash career. E. It shows the person is creative and willing to work hard. F. The job after the slash is often based on a person’s interests. G. That’s because they can give people an opportunity to express themselves. 第三部分：综合应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Camogli looks like any other small Italian coastal town.
