Jordon King, a microbiologist and science communicator, has drawn growing interest in his research in Everglades National Park, where he studies one of the ecosystem’s most vital yet least understood components: floc. Floc, a loose, organic material found in wetland soils, can reveal environmental changes over time, particularly those caused by human activities like freshwater restoration. Floc may not sound exciting, but it is critical to the ecosystem. Unlike compact soil, floc helps form soil deposits, which supports steady plant growth. Plants, in turn, provide food for animals, and if floc disappears, this delicate balance breaks down, risking the entire ecosystem’s collapse. Over the past year, King has collected more than 200 soil samples for his research. His dedication earned him a master’s degree from Florida International University — though the journey was far from easy. He reached out to about 40 professors before getting a positive response to move his work forward. King later began sharing his work on social media, posting videos from the Everglades and breaking down complex science in an engaging, accessible way. What started as a casual idea quickly caught on, with viewers drawn to both his passion and his genuineness. “People often comment, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover,’” King said. “That’s exactly what I’m experiencing. What makes me stand out is being myself, not following the traditional image of a scientist.” King loves what he does, and he told NBC6 that he hoped to keep focusing on his research, while using social media to share his work, make a living, and inspire more people to get involved in science. 4. What can we learn about floc according to the passage? A. It directly increases local animal populations. B. It shows how to control plant growth in wetland soil. C. It reveals environmental changes caused by humans. D. It proves compact soil harms the ecosystem’s balance. 5. What contributed to King’s advancing his work? A. Obtaining professional support to carry on. B. Finding the right species for research. C. Collecting enough funds for study. D. Explaining complex science on social media. 6. What makes King stand out online? A. His breakthrough in freshwater restoration research. B. His style challenging the typical image of a scientist. C. The complexity of his floc research in the Everglades. D. His decision to share complicated science on social media. 7. Which of the following best describe King? A. Energetic and cautious. B. Decisive and sympathetic. C. Humorous and conventional. D. Innovative and passionate. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了南佛罗里达科学家Jordon King挑战传统科学家形象，研究湿地重要但鲜为人知的成分——絮凝物（floc），并通过社交媒体分享其工作，获得广泛关注。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Floc, a loose, organic material found in wetland soils, can reveal environmental changes over time, particularly those caused by human activities like freshwater restoration. (絮凝物是湿地土壤中发现的一种松散的有机物质，它可以揭示随时间变化的环境变化，特别是那些由人类活动（如淡水恢复）引起的环境变化)”可知，絮凝物可以揭示由人类活动引起的环境变化。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He reached out to about 40 professors before getting a positive response to move his work forward. (在得到积极回应以推进他的工作之前，他联系了大约40位教授)”可知，King联系了大约40位教授，最终获得了专业支持，得以继续推进他的研究工作。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What makes me stand out is being myself, not following the traditional image of a scientist. (让我脱颖而出的是做我自己，而不是遵循科学家的传统形象)”可知，King在网上脱颖而出是因为他挑战了传统科学家的形象，做真实的自己。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A South Florida scientist is challenging traditional views of what a scientist should look like and gaining wide online attention. (南佛罗里达州的一位科学家正在挑战人们对科学家应该是什么样子的传统看法，并在网上获得了广泛关注)”以及倒数第二段“What makes me stand out is being myself, not following the traditional image of a scientist. (让我脱颖而出的是做我自己，而不是遵循科学家的传统形象)”和最后一段“King loves what he does, and he told NBC6 that he hoped to keep focusing on his research, while using social media to share his work, make a living, and inspire more people to get involved in science. (King热爱他所做的事情，他告诉NBC6，他希望继续专注于他的研究，同时利用社交媒体分享他的工作，谋生，并激励更多人参与科学)”可知，King挑战传统科学家形象，通过社交媒体分享复杂科学，且热爱自己的工作，说明他具有创新性和热情。 C Recent research suggests that actors may be able to hide their everyday self when they take on a new character. Researchers worked with Flute Theatre, which creates and provides interactive productions of Shakespeare for autistic (患自闭症的) individuals and their families. The team used wearable brain imaging technologies, alongside measurement devices, to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they played scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Lead author Dwaynica Greaves said, “The shout of a person’s own name is a powerful sound that normally makes the person turn his or her head. However, our findings suggest that actors may learn to suppress their sense of self as they train in the theatre and take on a different character.” The findings showed that when the actors heard their own names during the performance, their response was prevented in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is usually associated with self-awareness. The researchers also found that during the play, there were similar activity patterns in the brains of paired actors who were working together. These areas are associated with social interaction. The effects were specific to the brain data and were not seen in the heartbeat or breathing data, showing that there are specific brain systems functioning together effectively during complex social interactions. Greaves said, “Our findings indicate that working together with the theatre industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world. Our lab will continue to investigate the effects of theatrical training on an actor’s sense of self in the hope that young people, including those with autism, can learn new social skills by taking part in theatre activities.” Artistic Director of Flute Theatre, Kelly Hunter, said, “The scientific recognition that our physiological selves respond when we hear our names deepened my understanding of the drama games I play with autistic individuals. And I have further developed the way I use the names of the autistic participants within our performances. It’s been a perfect combination of artistic instincts and scientific questioning, creating a deeper understanding of how we communicate.” 8. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By conducting random interviews. B. By assessing subjects’ brain activities. C. By observing actors’ interactions. D. By evaluating audiences’ responses. 9. What does the underlined word “suppress” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. To hide or hold back. B. To express or expose. C. To record or remember. D. To improve or strengthen. 10. According to paragraph 4, what does Greaves hope to do through the research? A. To allow actors to better focus during the performance. B. To help young people learn social skills through theatre. C. To replace traditional autistic therapies with theatrical training. D. To prove theatrical experience contributes to social interaction. 11. What is Kelly Hunter’s attitude towards the research findings? A. She doubts their usefulness for her work. B. She thinks they go against artistic instincts. C. She finds them too complicated to understand. D. She values them and has improved her practice accordingly. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于演员大脑活动的研究，该研究表明演员在扮演角色时能够抑制自我意识，且搭档演员之间会出现相似的大脑活动模式；研究还指出戏剧训练有望帮助年轻人（包括自闭症患者）学习社交技能。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The team used wearable brain imaging technologies, alongside measurement devices, to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they played scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.(研究团队使用了可穿戴脑成像技术以及测量设备，来评估演员在表演莎士比亚《仲夏夜之梦》场景时的大脑活动)”可知，研究人员通过评估受试者的大脑活动来开展该研究。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The shout of a person’s own name is a powerful sound that normally makes the person turn his or her head. However, our findings suggest that actors may learn to suppress their sense of self as they train in the theatre and take on a different character.(一个人自己名字的呼喊声是一种极具冲击力的声音，通常会促使这个人转过头去。然而，研究发现表明，演员在剧院训练并扮演不同角色时，可能学会suppress他们的自我意识)”以及下文“The findings showed that when the actors heard their own names during the performance, their response was prevented in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is usually associated with self-awareness.(研究结果显示，当演员在表演期间听到自己的名字时，他们大脑中通常与自我意识相关的左前前额叶皮层的反应被阻止了)”可推知，suppress意为“抑制、隐藏”。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Our lab will continue to investigate the effects of theatrical training on an actor’s sense of self in the hope that young people, including those with autism, can learn new social skills by taking part in theatre activities.(我们的实验室将继续研究戏剧训练对演员自我意识的影响，希望年轻人，包括那些患有自闭症的人，能够通过参与戏剧活动学习新的社交技能)”可知，Greaves希望通过该研究帮助年轻人通过戏剧学习社交技能。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The scientific recognition that our physiological selves respond when we hear our names deepened my understanding of the drama games I play with autistic individuals. And I have further developed the way I use the names of the autistic participants within our performances.(科学上认识到当我们听到自己的名字时生理自我会做出反应，这加深了我对与自闭症个体一起进行的戏剧游戏的理解。而且我已经进一步改进了在表演中使用自闭症参与者名字的方式)”可推知，Kelly Hunter重视这些研究发现，并据此改进了自己的实践方法。 D These days, artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up everywhere in our daily lives — from conference rooms to classrooms, health-care assessments to dinner table conversations. What sets AI apart from past tech innovations? These advanced systems are capable of doing things that previously only humans could do — and doing them swiftly. AI is technology that enables computers and machines to perform complex tasks that are typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning and problem-solving. When people talk about AI today, they’re usually referring to generative AI, a type of AI system that can generate writing, images, videos and computer code. AI systems essentially operate as gigantic (巨大的) pattern-analyzing prediction machines. To create AI chatbots’ impressive language capabilities, scientists and engineers have fed practically all the text on the Internet into a type of computer system designed to identify predictable patterns in human language. When you ask a chatbot to do something (also called giving it a prompt), it draws on the original data and patterns within its datasets to predict what words could come next to deliver a logical answer in sentence form. It doesn’t know, but it’s really good at guessing and mimicking how humans talk. There has been increasing debate within the scientific community about whether we should categorize what AI does as “thinking”. Research has shown that some AI chatbots behave in ways that resemble thinking or judgment. But while we know how AI models work overall, we can’t currently trace the internal decisions they make to arrive at each specific response. “The questions about consciousness are infamously hard,” says Vincent Conitzer, a professor of computer science and philosophy at Oxford and Carnegie Mellon universities. “We really need to make progress on them if we truly want to understand in what ways we can say AI thinks.” But it’s safe to say that right now, AI is not like the sentient superintelligence you’ve seen in movies. 12. What makes AI different from previous technological innovations? A. It replaces human jobs in many fields. B. This tech can understand human emotions deeply. C. It helps create new artistic and media works. D. Complex human-like tasks get finished quickly by it. 13. How do AI chatbots generate their responses? A. By understanding the true meaning of questions B. By copying human conversations from the Internet C. By predicting word patterns from massive data D. By making independent logical judgments 14. What does Paragraph 5 reveal about AI’s so-called “thinking”? A. Scientists have confirmed that AI can really think. B. AI is similar to human in decision-making. C. We can completely track how AI thinks internally. D. Real AI has the conscious superintelligence we see in movies. 15. What does Vincent Conitzer think is key to understanding AI’s thinking? A. To develop advanced AI to gain consciousness B. To set strict rules for AI development C. To further explore the questions about AI consciousness D. To educate the public on AI’s potential risks 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍人工智能尤其是生成式AI的定义与工作原理，阐释其靠数据分析模仿人类表达，学界对AI是否具备思考意识尚存争议，当下AI并无影视中的感知超智能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These advanced systems are capable of doing things that previously only humans could do — and doing them swiftly.(这些先进的系统能够完成以往只有人类才能完成的任务——而且速度极快)”可知，人工智能能够迅速完成复杂的人类式任务。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“AI systems essentially operate as gigantic (巨大的) pattern-analyzing prediction machines. To create AI chatbots’ impressive language capabilities, scientists and engineers have fed practically all the text on the Internet into a type of computer system designed to identify predictable patterns in human language.(人工智能系统本质上就是巨大的模式分析预测机器。为了使人工智能聊天机器人具备出色的语言能力，科学家和工程师们将互联网上几乎所有的文本都输入到一种旨在识别人类语言中可预测模式的计算机系统中)”以及第四段“When you ask a chatbot to do something (also called giving it a prompt), it draws on the original data and patterns within its datasets to predict what words could come next to deliver a logical answer in sentence form. It doesn’t know, but it’s really good at guessing and mimicking how humans talk.(当你要求聊天机器人执行某项任务（也称为给它下达指令）时，它会依据其数据集中的原始信息和模式，预测接下来可能会出现哪些词语，从而以句子的形式给出一个合乎逻辑的答案。它并不知晓具体结果，但它在猜测和模仿人类语言方面确实非常出色)”可知，人工智能聊天机器人通过从大量数据中预测单词模式生成其回复。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“There has been increasing debate within the scientific community about whether we should categorize what AI does as “thinking”. Research has shown that some AI chatbots behave in ways that resemble thinking or judgment. But while we know how AI models work overall, we can’t currently trace the internal decisions they make to arrive at each specific response.(科学界内部对于是否应将人工智能所执行的操作归类为“思考”这一问题展开了越来越多的讨论。研究表明，一些人工智能聊天机器人的行为方式类似于思考或判断。尽管我们已经大致了解了人工智能模型的工作原理，但目前我们还无法追踪它们为得出每个具体回应而做出的内部决策过程)”可知，人工智能在决策方面与人类相似。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We really need to make progress on them if we truly want to understand in what ways we can say AI thinks.” But it’s safe to say that right now, AI is not like the sentient superintelligence you’ve seen in movies.(“如果我们真想弄清楚人工智能在哪些方面具有思考能力，那么我们就必须在这方面取得进展。”但可以肯定的是，目前人工智能并不像电影中所呈现的那种具有意识的超级智能体)”可知，文森特·康齐特认为理解人工智能的思维的关键是进一步探究有关人工智能意识的问题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nowadays, statements like “Seeing is believing” or “I’ll believe it when I see it” are becoming less reasonable because of the deepfake videos generated by AI. ____16____ However, regardless of how advanced artificial intelligence may be, there are still certain tips that can point out the signs of deep-fake videos. Observe Watermarked Content ____17____ However, this may not be effective in the long run because sometimes AI platforms allow users to download the generated content without the watermark. Thus, watermarking may not be a reliable way to detect AI videos. Find Abnormal Body Language Another way of detecting videos made from machine learning is the body language. ____18____ So if the body language is unnatural, then it may be generated by AI. An example of such body language that may be off is the character not blinking (眨眼) at all throughout the video. Listen Closely Audio is another means by which AI-generated content can be detected. But in recent times, that seems to have changed as synthetic (合成的) sounds tend to come out almost human-like. However, this doesn’t mean that it is entirely without problems. ____19____ While AI can avoid some of the above-listed giveaway features, it is impossible for it to be perfect. ____20____ Therefore, in this world of deep-fake videos, always feel free to question video content you see. A. If a video appears natural and realistic, it is undoubtedly real. B. AI usually find it difficult to accurately copy humans. C. This is the most basic means by which AI-generated videos give themselves away. D. This is because certain unnatural clues will still exist in its produced content. E. Sometimes, you may notice people with six fingers or someone with two right arms and hands. F. These videos have rapidly developed, making it more difficult to know when you can trust your eyes. G. In some videos, incoherent sentences or background sounds can reveal their artificial nature. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是在人工智能生成深度伪造视频日益普遍的情况下，如何识别这些视频。 【16题详解】 前文“Nowadays, statements like “Seeing is believing” or “I’ll believe it when I see it” are becoming less reasonable because of the deepfake videos generated by AI.(如今，诸如“眼见为实”或“我见了再说”这类说法正变得不再那么合理，这是因为人工智能生成了深度伪造视频。)”提到因为AI生成的深度伪造视频，“眼见为实”等说法变得不合理，F选项“These videos have rapidly developed, making it more difficult to know when you can trust your eyes.(这些视频发展迅速，使得我们更难知道什么时候可以相信自己的眼睛。)”进一步解释了为什么这些说法不再合理，与前文逻辑紧密相连。 【17题详解】 由小标题“Observe Watermarked Content(观察带水印的内容)”可知，此部分主要讲观察带水印的内容来识别AI生成视频，C选项“This is the most basic means by which AI-generated videos give themselves away.(这是人工智能生成的视频暴露自身的最基本方式。)”引出了观察水印这一识别方式，起到了总领该部分的作用。 【18题详解】 由小标题“Find Abnormal Body Language(寻找异常的身体语言)”可知，该部分围绕通过身体语言识别AI生成视频展开，B选项“AI usually find it difficult to accurately copy humans.(人工智能通常很难精准地模仿人类。)”解释了为什么可以通过身体语言来判断，因为AI模仿人类有困难，所以会出现异常身体语言，为后文阐述异常身体语言做铺垫。 【19题详解】 前文“Audio is another means by which AI-generated content can be detected. But in recent times, that seems to have changed as synthetic (合成的) sounds tend to come out almost human-like. However, this doesn’t mean that it is entirely without problems.(音频也是检测人工智能生成内容的一种手段。但近年来，情况似乎有所改变，因为合成声音往往听起来几乎和人类声音一样。然而，这并不意味着它完全不存在问题。)”提到虽然合成声音几乎像人类声音，但并非完全没有问题，G选项“In some videos, incoherent sentences or background sounds can reveal their artificial nature.(在一些视频中，不连贯的语句或背景声音可以暴露出它们的人工属性。)”具体说明了合成声音存在的问题，与前文逻辑相符。 【20题详解】 前文“While AI can avoid some of the above-listed giveaway features, it is impossible for it to be perfect.(尽管人工智能能够规避上述列出的一些暴露特征，但它不可能做到尽善尽美。)”说AI无法避免上述列出的一些暴露特征，D选项“This is because certain unnatural clues will still exist in its produced content.(这是因为在它生成的内容中仍然会存在某些不自然的线索。)”解释了为什么AI无法做到完美，即存在不自然线索，与前文衔接紧密。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In today’s American society, background checks have become a routine part of hiring process, employers use them to _______21_______ potential workers, judging whether they are qualified for the posts. Through background checks, employers can also make sure that the information applicants provide is truthful, which _______22_______ the applicants’ moral quality. Then what do background checks investigate? Many include a review of the employee’s employment history trying to confirm whether the employee has ever been fired or forced to _______23_______ . Employers also pay attention to the length of unemployment, afraid that long-time _______24_______ from work may bring negative influence to the employee’s performance. Sometimes, an applicant’s residential history is also an issue. Jobs with state or local governments often require that the employee live in certain areas, reducing the chances for them to have contact with _______25_______ people. Besides living near the work place is always welcome as it saves time and fares on _______26_______ . Another item which can’t be neglected is the applicant’s criminal history as in whether he has ever been arrested or put into prison. Although _______27_______ like traffic ticketing or queue jumping are usually pardoned, breaking a criminal law is rarely _______28_______ and, in most cases, is sure to result in the ending of the employment. Then comes the social history. A background check that involves the applicant’s social history is _______29_______ needed for government posts or employment in finance and law industries that require greater self _______30_______ . A small mistake in these posts may result in huge loss. The investigation usually checks drug use, family relationships and social contacts, in order to _______31_______ hiring someone unsuitable for the posts. Background investigators who _______32_______ social history may interview neighbors and professional references _______33_______ by the applicant. Finally in the field of education background, an application form may ask for copies of licenses or university diplomas to show the applicant’s _______34_______ performances. In many instances, an education background check is so _______35_______ about details that investigators even confirm the date on which the employee earned his degree to determine if it agrees with the information the employee provided on his application. 21.

The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 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。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. He couldn’t help but blame himself for the failure. As he sat on the edge of the track, tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He thought about all the hard work and dedication they had put into training, and how it had all seemed to be in vain because of his one moment of carelessness. He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done. Just then, Mark, Jack, and Alex appeared. They walked up to Tim and sat down beside him. Mark placed a comforting hand on Tim’s shoulder and said, “Hey, it’s not your fault. These things happen. We’re a team, and we all make mistakes.” Jack nodded in agreement, adding, “We didn’t lose because of you. We lost because we didn’t work together well enough in that moment. Let’s learn from this and come back stronger next time.” Alex smiled and patted Tim on the back, saying, “We’re still proud of you, and we know you’ll do better next time. We’re in this together.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以学校运动会的4×100米接力赛为背景，讲述了主人公Tim因失误导致团队失去奖牌机会的故事，展现了比赛中的紧张氛围以及失败后的自责与队友的支持，体现了团队精神和成长的重要性。 【详解】一、段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tim知道他的失误让团队付出了沉重的代价。”可知，第一段可描写Tim内心的自责以及对比赛结果的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，Mark、Jack和Alex出现了。”可知，第二段可描写队友们对Tim的支持和鼓励，以及Tim的感悟。 二、续写线索：学校举办比赛——失误——自责——队友支持——感悟 三、词汇激活 行为类 ①责备：blame/reproach ②反思：reflect/contemplate ③安慰：comfort/console ④笑：smile/grin 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustration/disappointment ②安慰的：comforting/conciliative 【点睛】【高级句型1】He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done.

Engage Stakeholders D. Evaluation & Monitoring B A South Florida scientist is challenging traditional views of what a scientist should look like and gaining wide online attention. Jordon King, a microbiologist and science communicator, has drawn growing interest in his research in Everglades National Park, where he studies one of the ecosystem’s most vital yet least understood components: floc. Floc, a loose, organic material found in wetland soils, can reveal environmental changes over time, particularly those caused by human activities like freshwater restoration. Floc may not sound exciting, but it is critical to the ecosystem. Unlike compact soil, floc helps form soil deposits, which supports steady plant growth. Plants, in turn, provide food for animals, and if floc disappears, this delicate balance breaks down, risking the entire ecosystem’s collapse. Over the past year, King has collected more than 200 soil samples for his research. His dedication earned him a master’s degree from Florida International University — though the journey was far from easy. He reached out to about 40 professors before getting a positive response to move his work forward. King later began sharing his work on social media, posting videos from the Everglades and breaking down complex science in an engaging, accessible way. What started as a casual idea quickly caught on, with viewers drawn to both his passion and his genuineness. “People often comment, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover,’” King said. “That’s exactly what I’m experiencing. What makes me stand out is being myself, not following the traditional image of a scientist.” King loves what he does, and he told NBC6 that he hoped to keep focusing on his research, while using social media to share his work, make a living, and inspire more people to get involved in science. 4. What can we learn about floc according to the passage? A. It directly increases local animal populations. B. It shows how to control plant growth in wetland soil. C. It reveals environmental changes caused by humans. D. It proves compact soil harms the ecosystem’s balance. 5. What contributed to King’s advancing his work? A. Obtaining professional support to carry on. B. Finding the right species for research. C. Collecting enough funds for study. D. Explaining complex science on social media. 6. What makes King stand out online? A. His breakthrough in freshwater restoration research. B. His style challenging the typical image of a scientist. C. The complexity of his floc research in the Everglades. D. His decision to share complicated science on social media. 7. Which of the following best describe King? A. Energetic and cautious. B. Decisive and sympathetic. C. Humorous and conventional. D. Innovative and passionate. C Recent research suggests that actors may be able to hide their everyday self when they take on a new character. Researchers worked with Flute Theatre, which creates and provides interactive productions of Shakespeare for autistic (患自闭症的) individuals and their families. The team used wearable brain imaging technologies, alongside measurement devices, to evaluate the brain activity of actors as they played scenes from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Lead author Dwaynica Greaves said, “The shout of a person’s own name is a powerful sound that normally makes the person turn his or her head. However, our findings suggest that actors may learn to suppress their sense of self as they train in the theatre and take on a different character.” The findings showed that when the actors heard their own names during the performance, their response was prevented in the left anterior prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is usually associated with self-awareness. The researchers also found that during the play, there were similar activity patterns in the brains of paired actors who were working together. These areas are associated with social interaction. The effects were specific to the brain data and were not seen in the heartbeat or breathing data, showing that there are specific brain systems functioning together effectively during complex social interactions. Greaves said, “Our findings indicate that working together with the theatre industry could be helpful in producing theories about social interaction that could also be investigated in the real world. Our lab will continue to investigate the effects of theatrical training on an actor’s sense of self in the hope that young people, including those with autism, can learn new social skills by taking part in theatre activities.” Artistic Director of Flute Theatre, Kelly Hunter, said, “The scientific recognition that our physiological selves respond when we hear our names deepened my understanding of the drama games I play with autistic individuals. And I have further developed the way I use the names of the autistic participants within our performances. It’s been a perfect combination of artistic instincts and scientific questioning, creating a deeper understanding of how we communicate.” 8. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By conducting random interviews. B. By assessing subjects’ brain activities. C. By observing actors’ interactions. D. By evaluating audiences’ responses. 9. What does the underlined word “suppress” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. To hide or hold back. B. To express or expose. C. To record or remember. D. To improve or strengthen. 10. According to paragraph 4, what does Greaves hope to do through the research? A. To allow actors to better focus during the performance. B. To help young people learn social skills through theatre. C. To replace traditional autistic therapies with theatrical training. D. To prove theatrical experience contributes to social interaction. 11. What is Kelly Hunter’s attitude towards the research findings? A. She doubts their usefulness for her work. B. She thinks they go against artistic instincts. C. She finds them too complicated to understand. D. She values them and has improved her practice accordingly. D These days, artificial intelligence (AI) is showing up everywhere in our daily lives — from conference rooms to classrooms, health-care assessments to dinner table conversations. What sets AI apart from past tech innovations? These advanced systems are capable of doing things that previously only humans could do — and doing them swiftly. AI is technology that enables computers and machines to perform complex tasks that are typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning and problem-solving. When people talk about AI today, they’re usually referring to generative AI, a type of AI system that can generate writing, images, videos and computer code. AI systems essentially operate as gigantic (巨大的) pattern-analyzing prediction machines. To create AI chatbots’ impressive language capabilities, scientists and engineers have fed practically all the text on the Internet into a type of computer system designed to identify predictable patterns in human language. When you ask a chatbot to do something (also called giving it a prompt), it draws on the original data and patterns within its datasets to predict what words could come next to deliver a logical answer in sentence form. It doesn’t know, but it’s really good at guessing and mimicking how humans talk. There has been increasing debate within the scientific community about whether we should categorize what AI does as “thinking”. Research has shown that some AI chatbots behave in ways that resemble thinking or judgment. But while we know how AI models work overall, we can’t currently trace the internal decisions they make to arrive at each specific response. “The questions about consciousness are infamously hard,” says Vincent Conitzer, a professor of computer science and philosophy at Oxford and Carnegie Mellon universities. “We really need to make progress on them if we truly want to understand in what ways we can say AI thinks.” But it’s safe to say that right now, AI is not like the sentient superintelligence you’ve seen in movies. 12. What makes AI different from previous technological innovations? A. It replaces human jobs in many fields. B. This tech can understand human emotions deeply. C. It helps create new artistic and media works. D. Complex human-like tasks get finished quickly by it. 13. How do AI chatbots generate their responses? A. By understanding the true meaning of questions B. By copying human conversations from the Internet C. By predicting word patterns from massive data D. By making independent logical judgments 14. What does Paragraph 5 reveal about AI’s so-called “thinking”? A. Scientists have confirmed that AI can really think. B. AI is similar to human in decision-making. C.

The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 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。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
