For most of Natalie Grabow’s life, she didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项). “Swimming was my biggest problem to solve,” she said later. Step by step, she overcame (克服) her fear of water and built the skills she needed.
Over the next 20 years, Grabow turned her dream into action. As a former software engineer, she had long loved running, but injuries often held her back. The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm. She trained hard and soon won several shorter half-triathlon races, growing stronger with each challenge.
By age 80, Grabow was ready for the world’s toughest test: the Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii. On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish. She became the oldest woman ever to complete the race.
For Grabow, her successful finish puts a strong ending on a 20-year journey. “I am so happy and grateful that I can still race in this sport at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon allows me to feel strong both in my mind and body, and it also keeps my competitive spirit alive.”
Asked whether she has any tips for new athletes, Grabow keeps it simple. “Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says. For her, the sport is not just about winning, but about growing stronger, staying curious, and never stopping trying new things.
4. What pushed Grabow to learn swimming at 59?
A. To be a good coach. B. To complete a big event.
C. To improve her health. D. To reduce the fear of water.
5. Why did Grabow choose the cross-training part of triathlon?
A. It was more popular.
B. She was tired of running.
C. It was less likely to get hurt.
D. She wanted to challenge herself.
6. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Preparations for the race. B. Grabow’s race process.
C. Rules of the Championship. D. Grabow’s running strategy.
7. What suggestion does Grabow give for new athletes?
A. Enjoy the journey. B. Keep going without rest.
C. Follow your hobby. D. Stay a competitive spirit.
C
The world has been changing very quickly since the introduction of generative (生成的) artificial intelligence (AI). Generative AI now helps write stories, create art and answer questions, and it can even copy people’s voices. It’s being used in schools, offices, music and movies. Even the Oscars (奥斯卡奖) are changing because of AI.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated its rules, saying films that use AI are now allowed to win awards. So even if a movie uses AI to help with writing, editing or voices, it can still win Hollywood’s biggest prize. The Academy explained that using AI will not help or hurt a film’s chances of getting nominated (被提名), although human creativity and input are still the things that matter most. “AI is just a tool,” said Academy president David Rubin. “What truly makes a film great is the human story behind it.”
The use of AI in film became a talking point after this year’s Oscars, when Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his work in The Brutalist. In the film, both Brody and his co-star Felicity Jones had to speak Hungarian, a very difficult language to pronounce. According to the film’s editor David Jancso, AI was used to perfect their speech. “They did a wonderful job, but we also wanted to perfect it so that even locals will not notice any difference.” Another Oscar-winning film, the musical Emilia Perez, used AI to improve the singing of the actors.
The use of AI is becoming more common in the film and music industries. But not everyone is happy about it. During the 2023 Hollywood strikes, many actors and writers spoke out about AI, saying they were worried it could take away their jobs. Some worried that studios might use it to write scripts instead of hiring real writers, and others feared their voices or faces could be copied by AI without their permission (许可). Industry experts suggest that while AI can resemble human performance in production, it cannot replace human creativity and emotional depth that audiences connect with.
8. What does the Academy say about AI in films?
A. AI films are unable to win Oscars.
B. All films will use AI in the near future.
C. AI doesn’t change a film’s chance to win.
D. AI is becoming more important than humans.
9. How does the author show the influence of AI on the film industry?
A. By giving examples of AI in films. B. By presenting the history of AI.
C. By focusing on technical details. D. By comparing AI with traditional tools.
10. Why were some Hollywood workers unhappy about AI?
A. It made their voices sound strange. B. It completely changed Oscar rules.
C. It might make them lose their jobs. D. It made movies win too many awards.
11. What does the underlined word “resemble” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Be famous for. B. Be similar to.
C. Be strict with. D. Be responsible for.
D
For humans, the sound of rain is often calming, but for plants, it works like an alarm clock. When raindrops hit the ground or water, the vibrations below the surface are much stronger than those above. New research suggests that plants have learned to use this signal to their advantage.
A study in Scientific Reports shows that rice seeds sprout (发芽) faster when they are exposed to the sound of rain. The researchers say this is the first direct evidence that plants can sense and respond to sound. They believe seeds from other plants may behave the same way.
Nicholas Makris, the lead researcher from MIT, calls this effect “unusual and odd.” He says such a discovery could only be made by scientists working across various disciplines — acoustics and plant biology. For years, scientists have wondered how much plants can sense in the world around them. Some studies suggest plants might even “see” or “think,” but few have shown a direct link between a specific event and the plant’s immediate reaction. This new study focuses on the connection between sound and sprouting.
In plants, cellular structures called statoliths are responsible for external sensing. Shifting at the bottom of these structures is starch (淀粉), which helps plants to detect changes in their position and tell seeds in which direction to grow their roots. The researchers theorized that rain sounds underwater could shake these statoliths enough to speed up sprouting in rice seeds.
The scientists exposed about 8,000 rice seeds in water — their preferred growing condition — to rain sounds. Another group of seeds was kept in quiet conditions, with everything else the same. The results were striking: the seeds that “heard” rain sprouted 30 to 40 percent faster than seeds that were kept in quiet but otherwise similar conditions.
Heidi Appel, a biologist not involved in the study, says this is an important step forward. She praises it as the first work to carefully measure how raindrops’ vibrations affect seeds in a realistic way. The researchers hope their finding will encourage other scientists to explore how plants respond to natural sounds like wind or insect noises. This study not only deepens our knowledge of plants but also opens new doors for understanding how they interact with their environment.
12. What does the Scientific Reports study confirm?
A. Most plant seeds are sensitive to rainfall.
B. Rain sounds can speed rice seeds’ sprouting.
C. Plants send out signals to sense raindrops.
D. Rice seeds favour vibrations below the surface.
13. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. The research on plants’ hearing has a long history.
B. That plants can “see” or “think” has been well proved.
C. The discovery requires joint efforts from different fields.
D. Scientists have denied plants’ immediate reaction to events.
14. Which statement is true about statoliths and the experiment?
A. Statoliths are produced when seeds hear raindrops.
B. The experiment discovered plants sprouted faster in quiet conditions.
C. Statoliths are responsible for internal sensing.
D. The experiment has revealed amazing findings.
15. It can be expected that follow-up studies will ________.
A. cover more varieties of natural sounds for plant-response tests
B. deepen research into how rainfall affects the growth of various plants
C. clarify how statoliths sense external changes inside plant cells
D. focus on increasing the seeds’ sprouting speed through sound stimulation

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily and Mia were the kind of friends who almost thought the same way most of the time. They always stood by each other through happy and hard times.
Both of them loved animals deeply and dreamed of doing their part to protect the wild creatures around their town. So they decided to start a project — creating a booklet (宣传册) to introduce local wild animals and call on people to live in peace with nature. At first, the project looked really promising. They spent days sharing ideas, visiting the local nature reserve to observe animals, and collecting basic information. But when they got deeper into planning the booklet, their argument started — each holding different opinions on the booklet’s style.
Lily was good at telling stories and loved warmth. She wrote touching tales about rescuing injured animals, thinking caring stories would make people care about wild animals. Mia, however, liked using facts and details. She believed a science-based booklet — full of real data about local wild animal species, their living habits and threats they faced — would work better to spread the message. She said people needed accurate knowledge to protect animals effectively.
As they talked more angrily, their once-friendly relationship became tense (紧张的). They spoke louder and louder, and the mood between them turned bad. Both felt very strong about their own ideas and refused to change. In the end, they went their separate ways, each feeling upset and disappointed with the other.
For the next few days, Lily and Mia lived their daily lives with a sense of emptiness. Lily couldn’t stop thinking about the project and Mia. She missed their long chats and the excitement they felt at the start. She began to wonder if her idea was really the only right one. Similarly, Mia was also feeling sad. She missed Lily’s creativity and the way they used to share and develop ideas together.
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。
That night, Mia lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Lily opened the door, she was surprised to find Mia standing outside.

For most of Natalie Grabow’s life, she didn’t know how to swim. At 59, she made a brave decision to learn the skill, driven by a bigger goal: to finish a triathlon (铁人三项). “Swimming was my biggest problem to solve,” she said later. Step by step, she overcame (克服) her fear of water and built the skills she needed.
Over the next 20 years, Grabow turned her dream into action. As a former software engineer, she had long loved running, but injuries often held her back. The cross-training part of triathlon felt perfect for her, as it lowered the risk of harm. She trained hard and soon won several shorter half-triathlon races, growing stronger with each challenge.
By age 80, Grabow was ready for the world’s toughest test: the Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii. On race day, she jumped into the ocean to swim 2.4 miles, then rode her bike 112 miles past hot lava (熔岩) fields and windy coast roads. She finished with a full marathon run that climbed over 1,000 feet, crossing the line in 16 hours and 45 minutes — well before the time limit, while more than 60 younger athletes failed to finish. She became the oldest woman ever to complete the race.
For Grabow, her successful finish puts a strong ending on a 20-year journey. “I am so happy and grateful that I can still race in this sport at my age,” Grabow says. “Triathlon allows me to feel strong both in my mind and body, and it also keeps my competitive spirit alive.”
Asked whether she has any tips for new athletes, Grabow keeps it simple. “Listen to your body, rest when you need to, and most importantly, just appreciate the journey,” she says. For her, the sport is not just about winning, but about growing stronger, staying curious, and never stopping trying new things.
4. What pushed Grabow to learn swimming at 59?
A. To be a good coach. B. To complete a big event.
C. To improve her health. D. To reduce the fear of water.
5. Why did Grabow choose the cross-training part of triathlon?
A. It was more popular.
B. She was tired of running.
C. It was less likely to get hurt.
D. She wanted to challenge herself.
6. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Preparations for the race. B. Grabow’s race process.
C. Rules of the Championship. D. Grabow’s running strategy.
7. What suggestion does Grabow give for new athletes?
A. Enjoy the journey. B. Keep going without rest.
C. Follow your hobby. D. Stay a competitive spirit.

The world has been changing very quickly since the introduction of generative (生成的) artificial intelligence (AI). Generative AI now helps write stories, create art and answer questions, and it can even copy people’s voices. It’s being used in schools, offices, music and movies. Even the Oscars (奥斯卡奖) are changing because of AI.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has updated its rules, saying films that use AI are now allowed to win awards. So even if a movie uses AI to help with writing, editing or voices, it can still win Hollywood’s biggest prize. The Academy explained that using AI will not help or hurt a film’s chances of getting nominated (被提名), although human creativity and input are still the things that matter most. “AI is just a tool,” said Academy president David Rubin. “What truly makes a film great is the human story behind it.”
The use of AI in film became a talking point after this year’s Oscars, when Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his work in The Brutalist. In the film, both Brody and his co-star Felicity Jones had to speak Hungarian, a very difficult language to pronounce. According to the film’s editor David Jancso, AI was used to perfect their speech. “They did a wonderful job, but we also wanted to perfect it so that even locals will not notice any difference.” Another Oscar-winning film, the musical Emilia Perez, used AI to improve the singing of the actors.
The use of AI is becoming more common in the film and music industries. But not everyone is happy about it. During the 2023 Hollywood strikes, many actors and writers spoke out about AI, saying they were worried it could take away their jobs. Some worried that studios might use it to write scripts instead of hiring real writers, and others feared their voices or faces could be copied by AI without their permission (许可). Industry experts suggest that while AI can resemble human performance in production, it cannot replace human creativity and emotional depth that audiences connect with.
8. What does the Academy say about AI in films?
A. AI films are unable to win Oscars.
B. All films will use AI in the near future.
C. AI doesn’t change a film’s chance to win.
D. AI is becoming more important than humans.
9. How does the author show the influence of AI on the film industry?
A. By giving examples of AI in films. B. By presenting the history of AI.
C. By focusing on technical details. D. By comparing AI with traditional tools.
10. Why were some Hollywood workers unhappy about AI?
A. It made their voices sound strange. B. It completely changed Oscar rules.
C. It might make them lose their jobs. D. It made movies win too many awards.
11. What does the underlined word “resemble” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Be famous for. B. Be similar to.
C. Be strict with. D. Be responsible for.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍生成式人工智能应用广泛,电影学院更新奥斯卡评奖规则认可AI为创作工具,列举影片使用AI的实例,同时提及影视从业者对AI抢工作的担忧,并指出AI无法替代人类创造力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“The Academy explained that using AI will not help or hurt a film’s chances of getting nominated (被提名), although human creativity and input are still the things that matter most.(学院解释说,使用AI不会帮助也不会损害影片获得提名的几率,尽管人类的创造力和投入仍然是最重要的)”可知,学院认为AI不会改变影片获奖的可能性。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第三段中的“The use of AI in film became a talking point after this year’s Oscars, when Adrien Brody won Best Actor for his work in The Brutalist.(在今年奥斯卡颁奖后,AI在电影中的应用成为热议话题——阿德里安·布罗迪凭借《粗野派》获得最佳男主角)”以及“Another Oscar-winning film, the musical Emilia Perez, used AI to improve the singing of the actors.(另一部奥斯卡获奖影片、音乐剧《艾米莉亚·佩雷斯》则利用AI优化了演员的演唱)”可知,作者通过列举具体影片中AI应用的实例来展示AI对电影行业的影响。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中的“During the 2023 Hollywood strikes, many actors and writers spoke out about AI, saying they were worried it could take away their jobs.(在2023年好莱坞罢工期间,许多演员和编剧公开表达了对AI的担忧,称担心AI会抢走他们的工作)”可知,部分好莱坞从业者不满AI是因为担心失业。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据最后一段中的“Industry experts suggest that while AI can resemble human performance in production, it cannot replace human creativity and emotional depth that audiences connect with.(行业专家指出,尽管AI在制作中能resemble人类表演,但它无法替代能与观众产生共鸣的人类创造力与情感深度)”可知,此处是将AI的表现与人类表演进行对比,强调AI只能“模仿、类似”,而不能真正替代。resemble意为“与……相似”,与Be similar to同义。

For humans, the sound of rain is often calming, but for plants, it works like an alarm clock. When raindrops hit the ground or water, the vibrations below the surface are much stronger than those above. New research suggests that plants have learned to use this signal to their advantage.
A study in Scientific Reports shows that rice seeds sprout (发芽) faster when they are exposed to the sound of rain. The researchers say this is the first direct evidence that plants can sense and respond to sound. They believe seeds from other plants may behave the same way.
Nicholas Makris, the lead researcher from MIT, calls this effect “unusual and odd.” He says such a discovery could only be made by scientists working across various disciplines — acoustics and plant biology. For years, scientists have wondered how much plants can sense in the world around them. Some studies suggest plants might even “see” or “think,” but few have shown a direct link between a specific event and the plant’s immediate reaction. This new study focuses on the connection between sound and sprouting.
In plants, cellular structures called statoliths are responsible for external sensing. Shifting at the bottom of these structures is starch (淀粉), which helps plants to detect changes in their position and tell seeds in which direction to grow their roots. The researchers theorized that rain sounds underwater could shake these statoliths enough to speed up sprouting in rice seeds.
The scientists exposed about 8,000 rice seeds in water — their preferred growing condition — to rain sounds. Another group of seeds was kept in quiet conditions, with everything else the same. The results were striking: the seeds that “heard” rain sprouted 30 to 40 percent faster than seeds that were kept in quiet but otherwise similar conditions.
Heidi Appel, a biologist not involved in the study, says this is an important step forward. She praises it as the first work to carefully measure how raindrops’ vibrations affect seeds in a realistic way. The researchers hope their finding will encourage other scientists to explore how plants respond to natural sounds like wind or insect noises. This study not only deepens our knowledge of plants but also opens new doors for understanding how they interact with their environment.
12. What does the Scientific Reports study confirm?
A. Most plant seeds are sensitive to rainfall.
B. Rain sounds can speed rice seeds’ sprouting.
C. Plants send out signals to sense raindrops.
D. Rice seeds favour vibrations below the surface.
13. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. The research on plants’ hearing has a long history.
B. That plants can “see” or “think” has been well proved.
C. The discovery requires joint efforts from different fields.
D. Scientists have denied plants’ immediate reaction to events.
14. Which statement is true about statoliths and the experiment?
A. Statoliths are produced when seeds hear raindrops.
B. The experiment discovered plants sprouted faster in quiet conditions.
C. Statoliths are responsible for internal sensing.
D. The experiment has revealed amazing findings.
15. It can be expected that follow-up studies will ________.
A. cover more varieties of natural sounds for plant-response tests
B. deepen research into how rainfall affects the growth of various plants
C. clarify how statoliths sense external changes inside plant cells
D. focus on increasing the seeds’ sprouting speed through sound stimulation
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了一项新研究表明植物能够感知雨声并做出反应,暴露在雨声中的水稻种子发芽速度更快,这项研究加深了人类对植物感知能力的理解,也为后续探索植物与环境的互动开辟了新方向。

细节理解题。根据第二段“A study in Scientific Reports shows that rice seeds sprout (发芽) faster when they are exposed to the sound of rain. (发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究表明,当水稻种子暴露在雨声中时,发芽速度更快)”可知,该研究确认了雨声能够加快水稻种子的发芽速度。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He says such a discovery could only be made by scientists working across various disciplines — acoustics and plant biology.(他说,这样的发现只能由跨不同学科——声学和植物生物学——合作的科学家做出)”可推知,这一发现需要不同领域的共同努力才能完成。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The results were striking: the seeds that “heard” rain sprouted 30 to 40 percent faster than seeds that were kept in quiet but otherwise similar conditions.(结果令人震惊:“听到”雨声的种子比在安静但其他条件相似环境下的种子发芽速度快30%到40%)”以及第六段“Heidi Appel, a biologist not involved in the study, says this is an important step forward.(未参与该研究的生物学家Heidi Appel表示,这是向前迈出的重要一步)”可知,该实验得出了令人惊讶的重大发现。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“The researchers hope their finding will encourage other scientists to explore how plants respond to natural sounds like wind or insect noises. (研究人员希望他们的发现能鼓励其他科学家探索植物对风或昆虫叫声等自然声音的反应)”可知,后续研究将会拓展测试范围,针对更多种类的自然声音测试植物的反应。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Lily and Mia were the kind of friends who almost thought the same way most of the time. They always stood by each other through happy and hard times.
Both of them loved animals deeply and dreamed of doing their part to protect the wild creatures around their town. So they decided to start a project — creating a booklet (宣传册) to introduce local wild animals and call on people to live in peace with nature. At first, the project looked really promising. They spent days sharing ideas, visiting the local nature reserve to observe animals, and collecting basic information. But when they got deeper into planning the booklet, their argument started — each holding different opinions on the booklet’s style.
Lily was good at telling stories and loved warmth. She wrote touching tales about rescuing injured animals, thinking caring stories would make people care about wild animals. Mia, however, liked using facts and details. She believed a science-based booklet — full of real data about local wild animal species, their living habits and threats they faced — would work better to spread the message. She said people needed accurate knowledge to protect animals effectively.
As they talked more angrily, their once-friendly relationship became tense (紧张的). They spoke louder and louder, and the mood between them turned bad. Both felt very strong about their own ideas and refused to change. In the end, they went their separate ways, each feeling upset and disappointed with the other.
For the next few days, Lily and Mia lived their daily lives with a sense of emptiness. Lily couldn’t stop thinking about the project and Mia. She missed their long chats and the excitement they felt at the start. She began to wonder if her idea was really the only right one. Similarly, Mia was also feeling sad. She missed Lily’s creativity and the way they used to share and develop ideas together.
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。
That night, Mia lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

When Lily opened the door, she was surprised to find Mia standing outside.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 That night, Mia lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her eyes fell on the nearby desk where she and Lily had planned the booklet. Except for their rough project notes, it was empty. She thought of Lily’s excitement when sharing stories of rescuing injured animals. She also longed for their previous laughs. At that moment, a wave of guilt filled her. She kept thinking that she’d cared more about “being right” than their friendship. At dawn, she grabbed her data notebook and hurried to Lily’s.
When Lily opened the door, she was surprised to find Mia standing outside. Holding her half-done research notes, “I’m sorry,” Mia said sincerely. “Your stories are just as important as facts, because they make people want to care.” Lily’s eyes got wet, and she gently squeezed Mia’s hands. Their work fitted well together, and they finished the booklet as a team. Handing out copies, they both found their friendship had grown stronger. Meanwhile, they learned to see things from each other’s side. It was the real key that made cooperation truly work.
