B
I was in a tiny plane with skydivers in their 70s and 80s, and I was distracted.
The reporter in me was trying to remember everything: the preflight rituals(仪式);the jokes; the way the jumpers checked their instruments. The rest of me was focused on the fact that in a few minutes, I would jump out of a plane flying 12,500 feet above the ground.
I was reporting on West Ways, a group of skydivers in their late 50s to early 90s. The group was started in 1987 by Ms. West and her husband, and members have jumped together about once a month ever since. This Sunday, they were celebrating their holiday party,which included a gift exchange and a 28-point formation in free fall.
As we reached altitude, Mr. West went over the jump formation once more before leading the group in a cheer for my jump. It was time. One by one they jumped.In the air, they grabbed hold of one another, forming the shape of a snowflake.
Then it was my turn. Mr. Diaz edged me forward. I took a deep breath. And on the count of three, we leaped into free fall. I had never been so aware of my senses:I felt the cold air against my face and the wind pushing back my arms and legs. After a few seconds, I was able to look around. After a few minutes, we landed. The members of West Ways cheered and clapped me on the back as I tried to catch my breath.
Over the next six hours, I interviewed them as they did two more jumps. (I stayed firmly on the ground.) I heard tales about first kisses in free fall and parachuting(跳伞)into weddings. What struck me wasn't the extraordinary physical accomplishment, but how a long-standing, active community offers a way for those in it to age gracefully.
I don't know whether I'll skydive again. But I hope that when I'm 80, I can regularly experience a suspension of time with people I've known for decades, before we parachute back down to earth.
24. What can we learn about West Ways from Paragraph 3?
A. It holds a monthly skydiving activity.
B. It was set up to celebrate holidays.
C. Its members are all above 80 years old.
D. It is a newly-founded skydiving club.
25. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He kept taking part in the following jumps after the first try.
B. He finished the 28-point snowflake-shaped formation alone.
C. He felt deeply impressed by the group's long-term bond.
D. He has decided to take up skydiving as a lifelong hobby.
26. Why did the author join West Ways that day ?
A. To take risky sports.
B. To celebrate a holiday.
C. To cover a story.
D.To care for the elderly.
27. What is the main idea of the text?
A. An old skydiving club gains nationwide popularity.
B. The popularity of skydiving among senior citizens.
C. Advice on how people can age gracefully through extreme sports.
D. A reporter's unforgettable skydiving experience with elderly jumpers.
C
Researchers hope brain implants will one day help people with aphasia (失语症)to get their voice back—and maybe even to sing. Now, for the first time, scientists have demonstrated that the brain's electrical activity can be decoded and used to reconstruct music.
A new study analyzed data from 29 people monitored for epileptic seizures (癫痫发作),using electrodes (电极)on the surface of their brain. As participants listened to a selected song, electrodes captured brain activity related to musical elements, such as tone, rhythm, and lyrics. Employing machine learning, Robert Knight from UC Berkeley and his colleagues reconstructed what the participants were hearing and published their study results. The paper is the first to suggest that scientists can “listen secretly to” the brain to synthesize (合成)music.
To turn brain activity data into musical sound, researchers trained an artificial intelligence (AI) model to decode data captured from thousands of electrodes that were attached to the participants as they listened to the song while undergoing surgery. Once the brain data were fed through the model, the music returned. The model also revealed some brain parts responding to different musical features of the song.
Although the findings focused on music, the researchers expect their results to be most useful for translating brain waves into human speech. Ludovic Bellier, the study's lead author, explains that speech, regardless of language, has small melodic differences—tempo, stress, accents, and intonation—known as prosody (韵律).These elements carry meaning that we can't communicate with words alone. He hopes the model will improve brain-computer interfaces (BCI), assistive devices that record speech-associated brain waves and use algorithms to reconstruct intended messages. This technology, still in its infancy, could help people who have lost the ability to speak because of aphasia.
Future research should investigate whether these models can be expanded from music that participants have heard to imagined internal speech. If a brain-computer interface could recreate someone's speech with the prosody and emotional weight found in music, it could offer a richer communication experience beyond mere words.
Several barriers remain before we can put this technology in the hands—or brains—of patients. The current model relies on surgical implants. As recording techniques improve, the hope is to gather data non-invasively, possibly using ultrasensitive electrodes. However, under current technologies, this approach might result in a lower speed of decoding into natural speech. The researchers also hope to improve the playback clarity by packing the electrodes closer together on the brain’s surface, enabling an even more detailed look at the electrical symphony the brain produces.
28. What can we learn from the study?
A. Electrodes can analyze musical elements.
B. The decoding of brain data helps recreate music.
C. Machine learning greatly enhances brain activity.
D. The AI model monitors music-responsive brain regions.
29. What hopefully makes it possible to expand the model to speech?
A. The prosody of speech. B. The collection of brain waves.
C. The emotional weight of music. D. The reconstruction of information.
30. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Unlocking the Secrets of Melodic Mind B. Brain Symphony: Synthesized Human Speech
C. BCI Brings Hope to People with Aphasia D. Remarkable Journey: Decoding Brain with AI
D
What are you doing later: wandering through Van Gogh's landscapes, time- travelling to ancient Egypt? These are the kinds of “immersive” experiences we are increasingly flooded with. The immersive entertainment market globally was valued at around $114 billion in 2024, and it is predicted to almost quadruple to roughly $442 billion by 2030.
As a journalist and life-long pop culture fan, I am simultaneously fascinated and unsettled by immersive entertainment. My most memorable experiences of it were personalised and powerfully emotive, making me exhilarated, tearful, even “cybersick”. When we are wrapped up in a narrative,
particularly one relayed through a headset, we are removed from real time.
It isn't the escapism that worries me, though—— great culture frees us from everyday constraints—— it is the insularity (孤立). Immersive events stress the subjective viewpoint, often at the expense of the communal energy that fuels social atmosphere, so even packed-out immersive shows can seem like solitary pursuits, with human companions resemblingNPCs (non-playable video game characters).
The cultural academic Keren Zaiontz coined a sharp term for our consumption of immersive entertainment:“narcissistic spectatorship”. One study found VR use induced dissociative symptoms in 83.9 percent of participants. The long- term effects remain undefined, but research has highlighted recurring themes of addiction to the experience and isolation.
Over at London's Barbican Centre, Feel the Sound is a new immersive exhibition whose installations offer imaginative personalised features, including Your Inner Symphony's “sensing stations”, which generate unique visuals by tracking our bodily reactions to music. Luke Kemp, who heads up the Barbican's immersive programming, says these experiences respond to our need for “playful” cultural spaces, accessible regardless of prior knowledge: “It allows the audience to feel part of something”.
Robyn Landau at Kinda Studios, co-developer of Your Inner Symphony, points out the link to interception ——— our awareness of our body's inner senses. “When we have these transformative experiences individually that connect us to ourselves, they actually transform how we show up in the world and the way we connect to others,” she says.
According to psychologist Sophie Janicke-Bowles, immersive experiences “can have an incredible recovery effect on our mind, where we can detach from our everyday concerns and cognitively, emotionally and even physiologically get absorbed into something different”
But for me, there is still a curious tension at play in immersive entertainment, and I am torn about where the rapidly developing scene is taking us. It does give us an opportunity to tune into ourselves, but I am less convinced it amplifies our bond with those around us. If we remain fixated by our own reflections, then we are missing the bigger picture. Immersive entertainment might make VIPs of us all, but culture should also bring us together.
31. What can we learn about the author's immersive experiences?
A. They free the author from restrictions.
B. They lift the author out of an awful mood.
C. They leave the author feeling alone in the crowd.
D. They cause the author to be emotionally unstable.
32. What can be inferred about Luke Kemp's view on immersive experiences?
A. They make people feel included.
B. They lead to self- focused perspectives.
C. They help with mental wellness.
D. They transform our social interactions.
33. The author mentions Your Inner Symphony mainly to___________.
A. restate an argument B. provide an example
C. propose a concept D. present an opinion
34. The author considers Sophie Janicke-Bowles's view ____________.
A. practical B. insightful C. confusing D. partial
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Live performances are often described as raw, emotional, and immersive, while studio recordings are polished and carefully produced. 35___________.
One of the most notable differences with live music is the energy. A live performance brings an atmosphere that cannot be recreated in a studio. When musicians perform live, they connect directly with their audience. The cheers, clapping, and excitement from the crowd create a feedback loop (循环) that can enhance the performance. This shared energy makes each live concert unique and personal for everyone there. 36___________.Whether it's a small, intimate venue or a massive stadium, the space influences how you experience the music. Live music is more than just something you hear; it's something you feel.
Another key aspect of live music is its unpredictability. No two performances are ever the same. Musicians might improvise (即兴演奏), change the arrangement of a song, or even interact with the audience in ways that feel spontaneous and genuine. 37__________.In a live setting, imperfections can make the music feel more real. A slight mistake or an unexpected variation in a song reminds you that what you're witnessing is unique. It's a reminder that music isn't just about technical perfection—it's about emotion and expression.
Live music creates a special kind of connection between performers and listeners. Seeing musicians perform in real time allows you to witness their passion and energy firsthand. 38__________.For many people, live music is about more than just the songs. It's about being part of a shared experience, which can make the music feel more powerful and memorable.
39___________.While recordings offer a polished, consistent way to enjoy music, live performances bring energy, authenticity (真实性), and emotional connection. Both forms of music have their place, and many people enjoy a mix of the two.
A. Live music and studio recordings each have their own strengths.
B. The physical environment also plays a significant role in creating this energy.
C. Studio recordings often rely on advanced technology to perfect the sound quality.
D. These moments of authenticity add an extra layer of excitement to the experience.
E. This contrast isn't just about how the music sounds but also about how it feels to experience it.
F. This doesn't mean studio recordings are less valuable—they offer a different way to enjoy music.
G. The physical presence of the artist, their expressions, and how they interact with the crowd all
contribute to this emotional connection.
第三部分:书面表达(共两节,32分)

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。
I smile as soon as I am greeted by the barista(咖啡师) who knows my name and order. As I head to a table, latte in hand, I feel a lightness in my step. This is a feeling you might experience in your daily life as well. Chances are, there are people you come into contact with daily, who you may not know well but can put a smile on your face.
People like this are called“consequential strangers”. They could be the neighbor you chat to or even the person you regularly make small talk with at the gym. Typically, our lives feature many consequential strangers. We may only know some of them for a short time, whereas others may become longstanding parts of our lives.
Like me, counsellor Tina Chummun has found that the barista she sees regularly is an important consequential stranger to her. “I trust the feedback from the barista because she has a completely different perspective of me,” she explains. Consequential strangers can give us a space to talk about things that perhaps we don't with other people in our lives, and to hear alternative perspectives. These interactions are emotionally beneficial as well: the consequential strangers in my life not only help me feel a stronger sense of belonging to my community but also help with loneliness. And some of these connections could potentially become supportive relationships we can turn to for help.
“There are many ways that you can approach strangers and start conversations,” says Tina. “If you' re at a train station waiting for a train, you can strike up a conversation about how annoying the delay is.” You may find that this brings you into a fuller conversation, but even if you only have a fleeting exchange with someone, this is a great way to build your confidence. Of course, not every consequential stranger is going to become a good friend and that's OK. Still, they are a valuable part of your life, able to make you smile and feel a sense of connection. And that in itself is well worth celebrating.
40. What kind of people does the term“consequential strangers” refer to?
41. How do consequential strangers contribute to the author's emotional well-being?
42. Please decide which part is false in the* following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Having consequential strangers is well worth celebrating as they are going to become your good friends.
43. Write about one of your consequential strangers and how he/ she influences you.( In about 40 words)
