Djukic is a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English teacher asked her to play a board game in order to learn about climate change.
Debra Rosenthal is the professor of the class. At first, Djukic said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just like: ‘this is interesting, but how much are we actually going to take away from it?”
Rosenthal thought her students would gain a greater understanding about how their own ideas and experiences affect climate change. Students do not compete against each other. They work together to choose the best plan of action. The game is different from board games such as Monopoly, where the goal is to win. Rosenthal said she hoped the games would give students a chance to talk about climate change in a new way.
“By playing the games, it’s a way to be social, to engage in conversation. There has to be a lot of energy around the table. It’s very collaborative. And in the game that I chose to play, they really were able to work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet was not destroyed.”
During the class, she said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a “way to have fun...while also learning about such a serious subject.”
The games are global, Djukic said. That is because she and her classmates said they were able to see how one player’s decision about agriculture affected another player on the other side of the world.
She said the games showed her that “in the game of climate change and the climate crisis, no individual wins.” “It’s either we all suffer from this, or we all somehow collaborate to work our way out of this and turn the clock back on climate change.”
4. What is the purpose of Rosenthal’s class arrangement?
A. To inspire the competition among students.
B. To entertain the students with the board game.
C. To stress the damage caused by climate change.
D. To encourage student’s viewpoints about climate change.
5. Which best describes the board game according to paragraph 4?
A. Cooperative. B. Competitive. C. Creative. D. Exclusive.
6. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. Agriculture is of vital importance to the world.
B. The world is a community of shared future.
C. Man with strong will can conquer nature.
D. Climate change is a tough problem to solve.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Climate change calls for teamwork.
B. Climate change leads to global impact.
C. A board game helps students understand climate issues.
D. A good teacher gives students lifelong benefits.

At a rehabilitation center in Beijing, a 76-year-old man who once relied on a caregiver can now walk independently with the help of a robotic exoskeleton that learns his movement patterns. Such technologies, once considered science fiction, are becoming more common as China responds to the needs of its fast-aging population.
The eldercare robot industry is expanding quickly. Provinces such as Beijing and Jiangsu have released political plans encouraging the adoption of intelligent robots in institutions and households. China has also led the creation of an international technical standard for eldercare robots, setting requirements for design and safety. Moreover, with over 310 million Chinese aged 60 or above, many seniors need support with mobility, daily activities, or emotional companionship. Robotics companies report increased inquiries as families search for reliable solutions for aging relatives.
While eldercare robots are still in the early stages of development compared to industrial robots, some users are already beginning to enjoy the convenience these technologies provide. Nursing homes in tech-centered cities like Shenzhen integrate robots that play chess with residents, provide mobility support, and deliver AI-assisted therapy.
Experts say eldercare robots still face multiple obstacles before they can be deployed on a large scale. On the consumer side, some seniors remain skeptical. “Robots are too cold and emotionless. I just can’t accept them,” said Qu Suling, a 66-year-old resident. “If a machine malfunctions, it could hurt me,” she added. Another major hurdle is access to real-world data needed to improve algorithms and the user experience. To improve algorithms and user experiences, companies need large volumes of real-world training data, according to Ji Junjie, an algorithm specialist. “We have limited opportunities to enter seniors’ homes or eldercare facilities,” Ji said. The high prices of many eldercare robots represent another significant barrier, as they are well beyond the reach of most households.
Experts argue that breakthroughs in core technology, affordability, and data access are essential for eldercare robots to realize their potential. As China advances AI and robotics, these innovations may significantly support healthy aging and improve life for millions of older adults.
8. Which major factor contributes to the rapid development of eldercare robots in China?
A. A decline in traditional medical services. B. Policy support and rising demand.
C. Financial investment in eldercare centers. D. Joint efforts made by many provinces.
9. Which is NOT the barrier to the large-scale application of eldercare robots?
A. Insufficient access to real-life usage. B. High prices which are unaffordable.
C. Lack of promotion from high-tech firms. D. Distrust and hesitation from the elderly.
10. What can be inferred about the future of eldercare robots?
A. They will replace human caregivers in the short term.
B. Their development will slow down as prices increase.
C. They may be more popular with younger population.
D. They can greatly improve the lives of older adults.
11. Which is a suitable title for the text?
A. High-Technology is Used in Medical Care
B. The Elderly Weigh the Use of Elderly Robots
C. Robotics Elderly Expands with Aging Population
D. An Old Man Benefits from Elderly Robot Industry
D
The obesity (肥胖) rate in the United States is now over 40 percent, and other countries are dealing with the problem as well. In fact, research has linked the problem of obesity with heart disease, mental conditions and even some cancers. So it’s no wonder that almost any discussion on health includes the topic of weight control.
According to healthcare professionals, eating a healthy diet and practicing weight control significantly reduces the risk of serious health problems. However, countless false claims and misinformation about weight loss fail to address the obesity issues. Methods promising quick weight loss aren’t healthy. Fortunately, trusted health specialists provide people with healthy ways to maintain a proper weight. They noted that healthy diets rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals certainly top the list, but eating healthily isn’t the whole story.
Another essential aspect of weight control is exercise. People who exercise not only burn calories but also build muscle. You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to make that happen. Activities like walking, biking or swimming can make a difference in your weight and overall health. Just exercise consistently so it becomes a habit.
In addition to a healthy diet and exercise, it’s essential to make lifestyle changes that support weight control. One significant lifestyle factor that contributes to weight gain is stress. Stress causes the body to release hormones (激素) that can lead to overeating. Therefore, finding healthy ways to manage stress can be beneficial as they help you maintain a healthy weight. For example, simple breathing exercises and morning stretches help regulate anxiety and depression. Regular exercise helps manage stress, too.
Another factor that contributes to weight gain is lack of sleep. Sleep is essential, and studies have shown that an insufficient amount of sleep can contribute to weight gain. Aim for at least seven to eight hours of sleep each night to help your body maintain a healthy weight.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The effects of overweight. B. The necessity of weight control.
C. The obesity rate in the USA. D. The efforts to deal with obesity.
13. Which of the following is a view of the health experts?
A. Quick weight loss increases the risk of serious diseases.
B. Eating healthily alone will not address the issue of obesity.
C. False information about weight loss can rarely be identified.
D. Nutrients, vitamins and minerals guarantee effective weight loss.
14. What can we learn about excising for weight control?
A. Seeking professional guidance is a must. B. Excising at a gym doesn’t pay off.
C. Burning calories outweighs building muscle. D. Informal workout done regularly matters.
15. Why does stress contribute to weight gain?
A. It fuels our appetites. B. It changes our lifestyles.
C. It weakens sleep quality. D. It prevents daily exercise.

In the summer of 2024, Caroline Davis and her partner were doing a DIY home project that required 1,500 pounds of gravel (碎石). So Davis headed to a home improvement store, and started filling up her Toyota Corolla with 50-pound bags.
“I’m loading, loading. And this older man comes over,” she recalled. “And he says, ‘Do you know that your car has a weight limit?’” Davis did not know that. It had never even occurred to her that she could damage her car with a heavy load. “That feels to me like something your dad would tell you,” Davis said. Her dad had died of a heart attack in 2017, at the age of 57.
“So I’m doing DIY later in life,” she said. “I didn’t learn that from him.” Davis started to feel lost; how was she going to unload the gravel from her car and bring it back to the store? And then how would she transport all the gravel she needed back home for her project? That’s when the man made an offer of unusual generosity.
“He says, ‘I can load you up in my truck. Do you live nearby?’ And I say, ‘Yes,’” Davis said. The man helped her unload all the gravel from her car, and then loaded it into his truck. They exchanged numbers, and she shared her address. When she pulled onto the highway, the kindness of what he had done began to hit her.
“I just start to cry in my car because I was so grateful for the goodness of strangers, of this person helping me,” Davis said. “The whole interaction just reminded me of my dad, of knowing that that’s something that he would do.”
When they arrived at her house, the man helped her unload all 1,500 pounds of gravel onto her driveway. She thanked him, again and again, and he insisted that she not worry about it.
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。
Davis didn’t want him to leave empty-handed.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Davis picked a handful of cucumbers (黄瓜) from her garden and gave them to the man.

To improve algorithms and user experiences, companies need large volumes of real-world training data, according to Ji Junjie, an algorithm specialist. “We have limited opportunities to enter seniors’ homes or eldercare facilities,” Ji said. The high prices of many eldercare robots represent another significant barrier, as they are well beyond the reach of most households.

8. Which major factor contributes to the rapid development of eldercare robots in China?

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Provinces such as Beijing and Jiangsu have released political plans encouraging the adoption of intelligent robots in institutions and households. China has also led the creation of an international technical standard for eldercare robots, setting requirements for design and safety. (北京和江苏等省份已发布政策计划,鼓励在机构和家庭中采用智能机器人。中国还主导制定了养老机器人国际技术标准,对设计和安全提出了要求。)”可知,政策支持和不断增长的需求是中国养老机器人快速发展的主要因素。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“On the consumer side, some seniors remain skeptical. “Robots are too cold and emotionless. I just can’t accept them,” said Qu Suling, a 66-year-old resident. “If a machine malfunctions, it could hurt me,” she added. Another major hurdle is access to real-world data needed to improve algorithms and the user experience. To improve algorithms and user experiences, companies need large volumes of real-world training data, according to Ji Junjie, an algorithm specialist. “We have limited opportunities to enter seniors’ homes or eldercare facilities,” Ji said. The high prices of many eldercare robots represent another significant barrier, as they are well beyond the reach of most households. (在消费者方面,一些老年人仍持怀疑态度。“机器人太冷淡、缺乏情感了。我就是无法接受它们,”66 岁的居民曲素玲(音译)说道。“如果机器出现故障,可能会伤害到我,”她补充道。另一个主要障碍是获取改善算法和用户体验所需的现实世界数据。算法专家季俊杰(音译)表示,为了改进算法和用户体验,公司需要大量的现实世界训练数据。“我们进入老年人家庭或养老机构的机会有限,”季俊杰说道。许多老年护理机器人的高昂价格是另一个重大障碍,因为它们远远超出了大多数家庭的承受范围。)”可知,老年护理机器人大规模应用的障碍包括缺乏实际使用的机会、高昂的价格超出承受范围和老年人的不信任和犹豫态度。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As China advances AI and robotics, these innovations may significantly support healthy aging and improve life for millions of older adults. (随着中国在人工智能和机器人技术方面的发展,这些创新举措有望极大地助力健康老龄化,并改善数百万老年人的生活质量。)”可知,养老机器人能极大地改善老年人的生活。故选D。

(在北京的一家康复中心,一位曾经依赖护理人员的 76 岁老人如今在一款能够学习其动作模式的机器人外骨骼的辅助下能够独立行走。)”及全文可知,文章第一段引入护理老年人的机器人这个科技,展开阐述了这种机器人发展迅速的原因,功能及其面临的几个问题,最后表达了对养老机器人帮助老年人,改善老年人生活的期待和信心。C选项“Robotics Elderly Expands with Aging Population(养老机器人随着人口老龄化而发展)”能概括文章主旨,可作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。
D
The obesity (肥胖) rate in the United States is now over 40 percent, and other countries are dealing with the problem as well. In fact, research has linked the problem of obesity with heart disease, mental conditions and even some cancers. So it’s no wonder that almost any discussion on health includes the topic of weight control.
According to healthcare professionals, eating a healthy diet and practicing weight control significantly reduces the risk of serious health problems. However, countless false claims and misinformation about weight loss fail to address the obesity issues. Methods promising quick weight loss aren’t healthy. Fortunately, trusted health specialists provide people with healthy ways to maintain a proper weight. They noted that healthy diets rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals certainly top the list, but eating healthily isn’t the whole story.
Another essential aspect of weight control is exercise. People who exercise not only burn calories but also build muscle. You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to make that happen. Activities like walking, biking or swimming can make a difference in your weight and overall health. Just exercise consistently so it becomes a habit.
In addition to a healthy diet and exercise, it’s essential to make lifestyle changes that support weight control. One significant lifestyle factor that contributes to weight gain is stress. Stress causes the body to release hormones (激素) that can lead to overeating. Therefore, finding healthy ways to manage stress can be beneficial as they help you maintain a healthy weight. For example, simple breathing exercises and morning stretches help regulate anxiety and depression. Regular exercise helps manage stress, too.
Another factor that contributes to weight gain is lack of sleep. Sleep is essential, and studies have shown that an insufficient amount of sleep can contribute to weight gain. Aim for at least seven to eight hours of sleep each night to help your body maintain a healthy weight.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The effects of overweight. B. The necessity of weight control.
C. The obesity rate in the USA. D. The efforts to deal with obesity.
13. Which of the following is a view of the health experts?
A. Quick weight loss increases the risk of serious diseases.
B. Eating healthily alone will not address the issue of obesity.
C. False information about weight loss can rarely be identified.
D. Nutrients, vitamins and minerals guarantee effective weight loss.
14. What can we learn about excising for weight control?
A. Seeking professional guidance is a must. B. Excising at a gym doesn’t pay off.
C. Burning calories outweighs building muscle. D. Informal workout done regularly matters.
15. Why does stress contribute to weight gain?
A. It fuels our appetites. B. It changes our lifestyles.
C. It weakens sleep quality. D. It prevents daily exercise.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章论述过度肥胖的危害及控制体重的几点建议。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The obesity (肥胖) rate in the United States is now over 40 percent, and other countries are dealing with the problem as well. In fact, research has linked the problem of obesity with heart disease, mental conditions and even some cancers. So it's no wonder that almost any discussion on health includes the topic of weight control. (美国的肥胖率现在超过了40%,其他国家也在处理这个问题。事实上,研究已经将肥胖问题与心脏病、精神疾病甚至某些癌症联系起来。因此,几乎所有关于健康的讨论都包含体重控制的话题也就不足为奇了。)”可知几乎所有关于健康的讨论都包含体重控制的话题,所以本段讲述的是控制体重的必要性。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Fortunately, trusted health specialists provide people with healthy ways to maintain a proper weight. They noted that healthy diets rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals certainly top the list, but eating healthily isn't the whole story. (幸运的是,值得信赖的健康专家为人们提供了保持适当体重的健康方法。他们指出,富含营养、维生素和矿物质的健康饮食当然是最重要的,但健康饮食并不是全部。)”可知健康专家会认为单靠健康饮食并不能解决肥胖问题。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to make that happen. Activities like walking, biking or swimming can make a difference in your weight and overall health. Just exercise consistently so it becomes a habit. (你不需要花几个小时在健身房锻炼。像散步、骑自行车或游泳这样的活动可以改变你的体重和整体健康。只要坚持锻炼,让它成为一种习惯。)”可知,要控制体重没有必要非得去健身房正式地锻炼,像走路、骑车或游泳等锻炼,只要养成习惯,对体重控制和整体健康起到作用,故推知定期进行非正式锻炼很重要。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One significant lifestyle factor that contributes to weight gain is stress. Stress causes the body to release hormones (激素) that can lead to overeating. (导致体重增加的一个重要生活方式因素是压力。压力会导致身体释放激素,导致暴饮暴食。)” 可知,压力使身体产生一种导致过度饮食的激素。故选A。

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。
Listening is an art. It requires us to be patient, receptive, open-minded, and non-judgmental. Then how can we master the art of listening?
Make eye contact.
___16___ If you don’t look at the person while they’re speaking, you give them the impression that you don’t care what they say. Basically, it appears as though you don’t even care about them.
Don’t interrupt.
Let the person speak uninterrupted. To master the art of listening you need to stop any good thoughts that come to mind and let the person say everything they need to say.Often people simply need someone to talk to, not someone who will interrupt and give their own thoughts and opinions.___17___
Show you understand.
One great way to show that you understand what the person is telling you is to nod.You can also make noises that show you’re in tune with what the person is saying such as “yes”, “yeah”, or “okay”. ___18___ Show some interest and make them know you get it.
Listen without judgment.
To effectively master the art of listening, it’s extremely important to keep back any negative evaluations or judgments.___19___ After all, who wants to open up to a narrow-minded person? It also helps to be mindful of your “shut off” triggers(触发器),which are the specific words, looks, or situations that cause you to stop listening. This way, you can prevent yourself from shutting off in the future.
Listen to non-verbal communication.
About 60-75% of our communication is non-verbal. That’s a lot! In order to know whether to encourage the speaker, to open yourself more, or to be more supportive in your approach, it’s essential to know what the person’s body is saying. ___20___ Are they on guard against you? Do their actions match their words?
A. Do they display signs of discomfort?
B. This rule is very obvious but frequently forgotten.
C. The goal is to shine the spotlight on them, not you.
D. Do you need to listen to everyone deeply all the time?
E. This may seem unimportant, but don’t be like a walking dead.
F. Make it your objective to be open-minded as much as possible.
G. Try to guess what they are thinking based on your own experiences.

【18题详解】

You can also make noises that show you’re in tune with what the person is saying such as “yes”, “yeah”, or “okay”.(向对方表达你理解其话语的一个好方法是点头。你也可以发出一些声音来表示你在认真听,比如“是的”“嗯”或“好的”。)”介绍了表达理解的简单小做法,下文“Show some interest and make them know you get it.(表现出一些兴趣,让他们知道你听懂了。)”进一步强调要通过行动表达对对方话语的兴趣和理解。选项E“这看起来或许微不足道,但别表现得毫无反应”,承接上文的简单表达理解的做法,指出这些小举动的重要性,同时引出下文要主动表现出兴趣的要求。故选E。

To effectively master the art of listening, it’s extremely important to keep back any negative evaluations or judgments.(不带评判地倾听。要真正掌握倾听的艺术,克制住任何负面的评价和判断是极其重要的。)”点明了本段的核心是倾听时要摒弃评判,保持客观,下文“After all, who wants to open up to a narrow-minded person?(毕竟,谁愿意向一个心胸狭隘的人敞开心扉呢?)”从反面强调了心胸开阔的重要性。选项F“要把尽可能保持心胸开阔作为自己的目标”,承接上文“不妄加评判”的要求,将其具体化为“保持心胸开阔”的行动目标,同时呼应下文对“狭隘心态”的否定。故选F。

In order to know whether to encourage the speaker, to open yourself more, or to be more supportive in your approach, it’s essential to know what the person’s body is saying.(关注非语言沟通。我们约60%至75%的沟通都是非语言形式的,这一占比很高!要判断是该鼓励说话者、更敞开心扉还是调整方式给予更多支持,关键是读懂对方的肢体语言。)”点明了本段的核心是关注对方的非语言沟通信号,下文“Are they on guard against you? Do their actions match their words?(他们是否对你心存戒备?他们的行为和言语是否一致?)”以问句形式举例说明需要关注的肢体信号。选项A“他们是否表现出不适的迹象?”,同样以问句形式,与下文的问句形成并列,都是对需要关注的非语言沟通信号的具体举例。故选A。

In the summer of 2024, Caroline Davis and her partner were doing a DIY home project that required 1,500 pounds of gravel (碎石). So Davis headed to a home improvement store, and started filling up her Toyota Corolla with 50-pound bags.
“I’m loading, loading. And this older man comes over,” she recalled. “And he says, ‘Do you know that your car has a weight limit?’” Davis did not know that. It had never even occurred to her that she could damage her car with a heavy load. “That feels to me like something your dad would tell you,” Davis said. Her dad had died of a heart attack in 2017, at the age of 57.
“So I’m doing DIY later in life,” she said. “I didn’t learn that from him.” Davis started to feel lost; how was she going to unload the gravel from her car and bring it back to the store? And then how would she transport all the gravel she needed back home for her project? That’s when the man made an offer of unusual generosity.
“He says, ‘I can load you up in my truck. Do you live nearby?’ And I say, ‘Yes,’” Davis said. The man helped her unload all the gravel from her car, and then loaded it into his truck. They exchanged numbers, and she shared her address. When she pulled onto the highway, the kindness of what he had done began to hit her.
“I just start to cry in my car because I was so grateful for the goodness of strangers, of this person helping me,” Davis said. “The whole interaction just reminded me of my dad, of knowing that that’s something that he would do.”
When they arrived at her house, the man helped her unload all 1,500 pounds of gravel onto her driveway. She thanked him, again and again, and he insisted that she not worry about it.

【答案】One possible version:
Davis didn’t want him to leave empty-handed. She tried to offer him money, then wine, but he wouldn’t accept them. Then she thought of something he might like. “I have a garden. And it’s the end of the season. And I just say, “Do you like cucumbers?” Davis recalled. “He’ s been pretty serious up until now,” she said. “And his face just lights up and he says, ‘I love cucumbers.’” She offered him a tour of the garden; it turned out he, too, had been a gardener, before his work got in the way.
Davis picked a handful of cucumbers from her garden and gave them to the man. He seemed thrilled. “He tucks them under his arm, and he just marches off back to his truck,” she said. “And I watched him drive off, leaving behind my 1,500 pounds of gravel.” Today, inspired by her unsung hero, Davis tries to be on the lookout for others who might need a hand. “I just am so grateful for people like that, who teach me the things I don’t know I don’t know.”
