It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you. A Puzzle The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations: ბრაზილია Brazil პერუ Peru ურუგვაი Uruguay Q: What is the English name of this country “არგენტინა”? The Solution ·The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match. ·The repeated-U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right. ·“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ → R, ა → A, გ → G, ე → E. ·With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina”. Contest Rules ·Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins. ·The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less. ·Unless instructed, giving multiple (多样的) answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score. Awards The team contest will award up to one gold, two silver, and three bronze medals. In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1:2:3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants. Click here to find out other awards. 1. Which is important to solve the sample puzzle? A. Linguistic fluency. B. Reasoning ability. C. Geographic knowledge. D. Mathematical calculation. 2. What is different about the rules for the individual and team contests? A. The length of the competition. B. The deadline for language choice. C. The result of giving multiple answers. D. The requirement for answer explanations. 3. If there are 240 individual contestants, how many medals could be awarded in total? A. 40. B. 54. C. 72. D. 84. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍国际语言学奥林匹克竞赛的参赛要求、样题、比赛规则以及奖项设置等相关基本信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking.(参加国际语言学奥林匹克竞赛，不需要专业知识，只需要基础的语言概念、逻辑、耐心以及创造性思维)”可知，解开该竞赛样题需要逻辑推理能力。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Contest Rules部分中的“The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less.(个人赛需要在六小时内解答五道题目，而团队赛仅有一道题目，时长比个人赛少两小时)”可知，个人赛和团队赛的比赛时长不同。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Awards部分中的“In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1:2:3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants.(个人赛金、银、铜牌数量比例为1:2:3，奖牌总数为参赛人数的四分之一到三分之一之间)”可知，参赛人数为240人，奖牌总数范围为60至80枚，C选项72枚符合该区间。 B This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与两位年过七旬的朋友的四天荒野探险经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs.(我盯着她的靴子，小心翼翼地沿着摇晃的圆木慢慢挪动。)”可知，作者盯着向导的靴子，小心翼翼地一步步走过摇晃的圆木桥。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的句子“As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away.(当它们开始向我们走来时，我们缓过神来，大声呼喊并挥舞登山杖。它们吃了一惊，停了下来，然后慢慢转身离开。)”可知，熊被作者一行人的呼喊和挥杖动作吓到，因此转身离开。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的句子“On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind.(在我们旅行的最后一个早晨，我们在森林里安静而沉思地走了一段之后，被要求带回一根“有意义的”木棍、岩石和树叶来分享哪些会“留存”在我们心中，哪些“震撼”了我们，以及我们愿意“放下”什么)”可知，向导通过这些自然物品引导大家反思旅程中的收获与感悟。故选B项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段的语境，向导称赞她们的健康和积极态度，并表示希望自己三四十年后也能像她们一样。这些意外的话语温暖了作者的心，缓解了她对“over the hill”的恐惧。结合前文提到的“we were all in our seventies(我们都七十多岁了)”以及“ageing(变老)”这一主题，“over the hill”指的是已过青春巅峰、年老体衰的状态。故选A项。 C Whether you prefer WeChat, Twitter, or Facebook, your social media profile is sending a silent message about who you are. While these platforms are great for connecting, it is easy to accidentally come across as conceited (自负的), angry, or shallow. Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies (自拍) for example. It is perfectly appropriate to have a picture of yourself as your profile photo. However, if almost every picture you post is just of you looking pretty, you are likely to leave the impression that you are full of yourself. Psychologist Sarah Schewitz points out that there is much more to a person than just a pretty face, and users should show other meaningful aspects of their lives. Furthermore, your online tone matters. Some people use social media to complain about their daily struggles or engage in angry debates. Constantly posting negative thoughts tells the world that you are not a happy person. Instead of adding negativity to the internet, it is highly recommended to focus on the positive sides of life. On the other hand, painting an unrealistically perfect picture of your life can also be problematic. Many people only post their amazing achievements, making their lives seem perfect. This often makes friends feel stressed. Psychologists remind us that everyone faces challenges, and sharing the reality of life, rather than just the highlights, makes you more relatable. If you want to make sure your posts reflect who you are, a good guideline, according to Schewitz, is to take a breath before clicking. “Before posting something, ask yourself: Is this going to add positivity to the world or take away from it? If the answer is the latter, don’t post it. There’s enough negativity out there without you sharing about how terrible your day was. If you need support, call a friend, don’t subject the whole world to your complaints,” Schewitz suggests. 8. What does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Online acts reflect inner qualities. B. Social content is shallow. C. Users hide their true characters. D. Chats bring misunderstanding. 9. What can be inferred about the perfect selfies on platforms? A. They build your confidence. B. They create a self-centered image. C. They make you better understood. D. They illustrate your meaningful sides. 10. What does the author suggest about posting on social media? A. Express your emotions freely. B. Keep your personal life private. C. Show positivity along with real life. D. Avoid sharing achievements with friends. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. What You Post Says About You B. The Secret of Taking Perfect Selfies C. How to Hide Your True Self Online D. Mind Your Manners on Social Media 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了社交媒体上的发帖内容、自拍习惯和网络语气如何反映并塑造个人形象与性格特征。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world.(心理学家指出，我们的网络行为向数字世界揭示了我们真实的价值观和个性)”可知，作者在第一段指出，人们的在线行为反映了其内在品质。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, if almost every picture you post is just of you looking pretty, you are likely to leave the impression that you are full of yourself.(然而，如果你发布的几乎每张照片都只是你漂亮的模样，你很可能会给人留下自负的印象)”以及第三段中“Many people only post their amazing achievements, making their lives seem perfect. This often makes friends feel stressed.(许多人只发布他们惊人的成就，让他们的生活看起来完美无缺。这常常让朋友们感到压力)”可知，过度发布完美的自拍或成就，会塑造出一种以自我为中心的形象。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Psychologists remind us that everyone faces challenges, and sharing the reality of life, rather than just the highlights, makes you more relatable.(心理学家提醒我们，人人皆有困顿之时，分享生活的现实原貌，而非仅仅展示高光时刻，会让你更显真实、更接地气)”以及最后一段的““Before posting something, ask yourself: Is this going to add positivity to the world or take away from it? If the answer is the latter, don’t post it. There’s enough negativity out there without you sharing about how terrible your day was. If you need support, call a friend, don’t subject the whole world to your complaints,” Schewitz suggests.(舍维茨建议道：“发帖之前，不妨先问问自己：这会给世界增添一份正能量，还是徒增消沉？若答案是后者，便勿要发布。世间已然充斥着足够多的负面声音，无须再添一笔你今日的糟心事。若需慰藉，拨通好友电话即可，切莫让全天下都沦为你的抱怨听众。”)”可知，作者建议发帖时应兼顾现实生活与积极态度。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world.(心理学家指出，我们的网络言行会向这个数字世界袒露真实的价值观与个性)”可知，全文围绕社交媒体发布的内容会向他人传递你的个人形象、反映真实的你展开，核心主题是你发布的内容会说明你是怎样的人。A项“你的发帖内容揭示了你的为人”最能概括全文主旨，适合作本文的标题。 D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以给出准确的地震预测，介绍了其工作原理以及意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).(经过训练后，人工智能通过探测隐藏在地球低频隆隆声中的早期地震指标来提供预测)”可知，人工智能分析地球上的背景声音预测地震事件。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”(该项目标志着人工智能在预测地震事件方面的探索取得了重大突破。德克萨斯地震网的高级研究员Alexandros Savvaidis说：“地震发生在没有预警的情况下，经常在眨眼之间发生。你能影响的只有你的准备程度。达到70%的预测率是一项相当大的成就，可以显著限制地震的影响，减少经济负担和生命损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。”)”可知，亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯想在第3段说明发展人工智能预测的意义。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(他们的下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，德克萨斯大学的TexNet运营着一个由300个地震站组成的网络，拥有超过六年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些研究的理想地点)”可知，接下来的研究重点是在不同地点进行测试。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities.(人工智能(AI)的进步表明，准确的地震预测可能是可以实现的，从而对传统智慧产生了质疑，即这种成就超出了我们的能力)”以及最后一段““That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.(“这可能还有很长的路要走，但许多像这样的进步，综合起来，是推动科学向前发展的动力，”该局局长斯科特·廷克总结道)”可推知，地震预测技术具有开创性和前景。故选D。 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。 Feeling stuck in the same old routine makes life feel rather dull — but adding some excitement doesn’t have to involve massive changes.

Amy was running along the winding path, her feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm. She loves running because she believes that after a tough week at work, it could not only exercise her body but also free her mind from stress and exhaustion. Every Sunday, the park was alive with activities. Children were chasing each other on the grass. Elderly people were practicing tai chi in slow, graceful movements. Young couples were walking hand in hand by the lake. Amy breathed deeply, taking in the fresh smell of flowers. Her steps felt light and her heart was at peace. Everything felt perfect. Suddenly, a sharp cry cut through the morning calm. Amy slowed down and saw a crowd gathering near the fountain, their faces filled with panic. She ran toward them, pushing through the circle of people. An old woman was lying on the ground, her face pale and her lips slightly purple. Beside her, another elderly woman was shouting, “She’s having a heart attack! Please help her!” People stood frozen, some dialing emergency numbers, but no one gave her a hand. Amy’s mind raced. Her friend Harriet, a nurse at the city hospital, had once asked her to attend a public welfare activity for CPR (心肺复苏) training in her community three months ago. She remembered rolling her eyes at the practice dummy (假人), whispering to Harriet that she would never need such boring knowledge. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined facing a real emergency like this. At that time, she was more interested in the small gifts provided than the training itself. Now, staring at the struggling woman, whose breath grew weaker and eyes began to roll back, Amy knew she was the only hope. Taking a deep breath, she forced her shaking legs to move forward, her heart beating wildly as if jumping out of her chest, and explained that she had learned CPR. 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。 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. She tried her best to recall every step of CPR she had learned in the training, pressing down on the chest steadily with the correct strength and rhythm. After several cycles, Amy bent down to give rescue breaths. Sweat ran down her face, but she didn’t stop. The crowd held their breath and watched silently, their anxious eyes fixed on the pale face beneath her. After what felt like forever, the old woman coughed weakly, and Amy’s heart leaped with hope. Just then, a sound of an ambulance grew louder. As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. The paramedics rushed to the old woman and took over the rescue work. Amy stepped back, her legs worn out, but she kept her eyes on the old woman. Within minutes, the woman’s color slowly returned, and she began to breathe steadily. A medic patted Amy’s shoulder and said, “You saved her.” All the people around broke into cheers. At that moment, Amy realized every small skill we learn, even if we think it useless at first, can be a bright light to pull others out of danger one day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述艾米周日在公园跑步放松身心，偶遇一位老人突发心脏病倒地，众人束手无策。曾经敷衍参加过心肺复苏培训的艾米克服紧张，主动上前施救，坚持按压抢救，最终等到救护车顺利救助老人，领悟所学技能皆有用处的道理。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写艾米回忆心肺复苏步骤，沉着施救、持续抢救，老人逐渐恢复微弱反应，救护车声音渐近。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写医护人员接手救治，老人转危为安，众人称赞，艾米深刻领悟技能学习的价值。 2. 续写线索：上手施救——回忆步骤——坚持抢救——老人苏醒——救护车抵达——医护接手——老人脱险——领悟真谛 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①回忆：recall/recollect ②注视：eyes fixed on/eyes glued to 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxious/worried ②疲惫：worn out/exhausted/tired out 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The crowd held their breath and watched silently, their anxious eyes fixed on the pale face beneath her.

B This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. C Whether you prefer WeChat, Twitter, or Facebook, your social media profile is sending a silent message about who you are. While these platforms are great for connecting, it is easy to accidentally come across as conceited (自负的), angry, or shallow. Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies (自拍) for example. It is perfectly appropriate to have a picture of yourself as your profile photo. However, if almost every picture you post is just of you looking pretty, you are likely to leave the impression that you are full of yourself. Psychologist Sarah Schewitz points out that there is much more to a person than just a pretty face, and users should show other meaningful aspects of their lives. Furthermore, your online tone matters. Some people use social media to complain about their daily struggles or engage in angry debates. Constantly posting negative thoughts tells the world that you are not a happy person. Instead of adding negativity to the internet, it is highly recommended to focus on the positive sides of life. On the other hand, painting an unrealistically perfect picture of your life can also be problematic. Many people only post their amazing achievements, making their lives seem perfect. This often makes friends feel stressed. Psychologists remind us that everyone faces challenges, and sharing the reality of life, rather than just the highlights, makes you more relatable. If you want to make sure your posts reflect who you are, a good guideline, according to Schewitz, is to take a breath before clicking. “Before posting something, ask yourself: Is this going to add positivity to the world or take away from it? If the answer is the latter, don’t post it. There’s enough negativity out there without you sharing about how terrible your day was. If you need support, call a friend, don’t subject the whole world to your complaints,” Schewitz suggests. 8. What does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Online acts reflect inner qualities. B. Social content is shallow. C. Users hide their true characters. D. Chats bring misunderstanding. 9. What can be inferred about the perfect selfies on platforms? A. They build your confidence. B. They create a self-centered image. C. They make you better understood. D. They illustrate your meaningful sides. 10. What does the author suggest about posting on social media? A. Express your emotions freely. B. Keep your personal life private. C. Show positivity along with real life. D. Avoid sharing achievements with friends. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. What You Post Says About You B. The Secret of Taking Perfect Selfies C. How to Hide Your True Self Online D. Mind Your Manners on Social Media D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 14.

The sun was coming out from the clouds, casting a warm light over the park. Amy was running along the winding path, her feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm. She loves running because she believes that after a tough week at work, it could not only exercise her body but also free her mind from stress and exhaustion. Every Sunday, the park was alive with activities. Children were chasing each other on the grass. Elderly people were practicing tai chi in slow, graceful movements. Young couples were walking hand in hand by the lake. Amy breathed deeply, taking in the fresh smell of flowers. Her steps felt light and her heart was at peace. Everything felt perfect. Suddenly, a sharp cry cut through the morning calm. Amy slowed down and saw a crowd gathering near the fountain, their faces filled with panic. She ran toward them, pushing through the circle of people. An old woman was lying on the ground, her face pale and her lips slightly purple. Beside her, another elderly woman was shouting, “She’s having a heart attack! Please help her!” People stood frozen, some dialing emergency numbers, but no one gave her a hand. Amy’s mind raced. Her friend Harriet, a nurse at the city hospital, had once asked her to attend a public welfare activity for CPR (心肺复苏) training in her community three months ago. She remembered rolling her eyes at the practice dummy (假人), whispering to Harriet that she would never need such boring knowledge. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined facing a real emergency like this. At that time, she was more interested in the small gifts provided than the training itself. Now, staring at the struggling woman, whose breath grew weaker and eyes began to roll back, Amy knew she was the only hope. Taking a deep breath, she forced her shaking legs to move forward, her heart beating wildly as if jumping out of her chest, and explained that she had learned CPR. 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。 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
