When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an ecomachine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge. First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the ecomachine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an ecomachine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
24. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He was fond of traveling.
B. He enjoyed being alone.
C. He had an inquiring mind.
D. He longed to be a doctor.
25. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals.
B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants.
D. To test the ecomachine.
26. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans.
B. To show an application of John’s idea.
C. To compare John’s different jobs.
D. To erase doubts about John’s invention.
27. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself.
B. Organisms need water to survive.
C. Life on Earth is diverse.
D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
C
A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence.
28. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A. To explain the use of a software program.
B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
29. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Arguments.
B. Doubts.
C. Errors.
D. Differences.
30. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A. Create rules.
B. Comprehend meaning.
C. Talk fluently.
D. Identify difficult words.
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。
We all know the golden rule: treat others the way you want to be treated. This is an old proverb we learn from an early age. 31
Have you ever noticed that when you do something nice for someone else, it makes you feel better too? This isn’t just something that happens randomly. 32 Doing nice things for others increases your serotonin (血清素), which is responsible for feelings of satisfaction and wellbeing.
33 While there are several ways to reduce anxiety, it turns out that being nice to others can be one of the easiest, most inexpensive ways to keep anxiety at bay. University of British Columbia researchers found that participants who engaged in kind acts displayed significant increases in positive affect that lasted over the four weeks of their study. So, the next time you’re feeling anxious, look for opportunities to help others.
Making others feel good can “warm” your heart, sure — but being nice to others can also affect the actual chemical balance of your heart. Kindness releases the hormone oxytocin which reduces blood pressure and therefore protects the heart. 34 Maybe that’s why they say nice, caring people have really big hearts.
Kindness can help you live longer. You may be shaking your head at this one, but there’s science to back it up. According to Health, you’re at a greater risk of heart disease if you don’t have a strong network of family and friends. When you’re kind to others, you develop strong, meaningful relationships and friendships. 35
A. Anxiety is an extremely common human experience.
B. This behavior can help you handle stressful situations.
C. Kindness strengthens your heart physically and emotionally.
D. It has something to do with the pleasure centers in your brain.
E. Besides improving personal relationships, kindness can make you healthier.
F. So, make some new friends, or expand your kindness to the ones you already have.
G. However, there are a number of real-life benefits connected with the way we treat others.

No structure is as symbolically significant or 51 (cultural) important to China as the Great Wall. Architectural 52 (engineer) are part of a huge project to repair this centuries-old structure.
Jiankou 53 (believe) to be one of the most rugged stretches of the relic. Some of the most dangerous work includes laborers hanging from towering heights. With ropes tied around 54 (they) waists, repair workers spread cement on the wall’s steep sides, while others hold the ropes for support. 55 (survive) a fall from the steep sides would be unlikely. A laborer explains 56 he risks his life to make repairs to the ancient structure, saying that it is an honor to be part of such a great cause, and it is very 57 (meaning) to do so.
Getting supplies to this part of the wall is also a demanding effort. Because the path is so steep, donkeys and mules must be used to transport bricks, 58 can weigh as much as 150 kg each. The repair team goes to great lengths 59 (keep) the principle of minimal intervention. “We have to stick 60 the original format, the original material and the original craftsmanship, so that we can better preserve the historical and cultural values,” said Cheng Yongmao, the engineer leading Jiankou’s restoration work.

I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.
“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” my classmates all said this to me, including my teacher.
My deskmate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
Fortunately, my deskmate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.
One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.
The day finally came!

One possible version:
During my summer vacation, I had an unforgettable experience volunteering at an animal shelter. Every morning, I fed the cats and dogs and cleaned their living areas. One day, a little injured puppy was brought in. I stayed with him for hours, gently comforting him until the vet arrived. Watching him slowly recover brought me so much joy. This experience taught me the value of patience and compassion. I felt proud to make a small difference in these animals' lives.

One possible version:
With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could. The cheers from my classmates echoed in my ears, giving me strength. At first, I managed to keep pace with the other runners. But soon, my legs began to feel heavy, and my breathing became ragged. Lap after lap, I fell behind. I could hear my classmates shouting my name, encouraging me not to give up. Every time I wanted to stop, I remembered all those afternoons we trained together. I kept going, one step at a time, pushing through the pain and exhaustion.
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. But as I stumbled across the line, my classmates rushed to me, hugging me and cheering louder than they had for anyone else. They didn't care about my position — they were proud of me for finishing the race. At that moment, I realized that winning wasn't about being first. It was about facing my fears and persevering. My classmates' support had transformed my nightmare into one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. I was no longer the shy girl who felt alone. I had found my place among friends who believed in me.
