Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG) — an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to continue.
“I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to care.”
24. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most
A. Better housing. B. Medical treatment. C. Further education. D. Public transportation.
25. How has Monica helped the cancer patients
A. By training medical professionals. B. By advocating financial aid.
C. By improving internet service. D. By offering clinical trials.
26. Which of the following can best describe Monica
A. Determined and loyal. B. Honest and generous.
C. Dedicated and responsible. D. Grateful and courageous.
27. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A helper for cancer patients B. A push for progress
C. A pioneer for cancer treatment D. A hope for cancer patients
C
Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts(闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels(血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars(伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological(神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters(神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons(神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts. B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700℃.
C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
29. What happened to the surgeon after the strike
A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain. B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C. His unexplored brain areas were activated. D. He recalled hidden memories about music.
30. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5
A. The flooding of brain’s neurotransmitters. B.The cell death due to lightning strikes.
C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. The process of lightning formation. B. The consequences of being struck by lightning.
C. The possibility of lightning making a genius. D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
D
An early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text prompt—some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.
If you’ve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you’ll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tool creates a video based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its flaws（瑕疵）.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence（遵守）to the user’s prompt.”
But there are constraints to Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won’t last long.
Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It’s perfect for creating online tutorials, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.
32. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. Text-to-video AI has improved significantly over the past year.
B. ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.
C. Text-to-video AI received negative feedback eventually.
D. ModelScope was widely praised.
33. How can OpenAI’s Sora improve images
A. By recognizing the objects around. B. By removing inappropriate visual patches.
C. By creating content in various styles. D. By working in the same way as ModelScope.
34. What message does the last paragraph convey about invideo AI
A. It may fall out of use. B. It will take ages to see the future result.
C. It may increase daily expenses. D. It will be highly profitable.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The limitations of OpenAI’s Sora. B. The functions of various AI tools.
C. A great leap for creative AI. D. A demonstration of making a video.

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。
An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey ideas clearly. Plain language involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write in plain language, it is important to follow certain guidelines.
36 The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.
Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. 37 But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about.
Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity. 38 For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your reader. 39 Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity.
It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. 40
A．This can be achieved in the following ways.
B．In many cases, this means writing in the second person point of view.
C．One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible.
D．That is because they know what it means.
E．Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.
F．This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language.
G．Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices.

The walk I’d plotted was 22 miles to the coast. It is enough to get the legs 41 and the mind cleared. But the real 42 for me was walking to a definite point in our country’s outline.
I was wondering if I’d have the endurance(耐力) and determination to do it. I am, after all, in my late 40s. I 43 the coast at 7: 00 am. I was, for the day, an arrow. My line of flight was as straight and short as I could make it.
44 the five-hour mark, I was in a good state of body and mind. The 45 of the usual routine had been eased by daydreams. From this point on, the 46 seemed to change. The banks on either side were larger, and the grasses longer, even though the sea was still miles off.
Things were getting 47 . Despite feeling like I was nearly “there”, I still had four miles to go. I was hurting my knees. I 48 the painkillers down with my secret weapon:coffee. Studies have shown caffeine 49 endurance and it kept me going.
Try as I might, I still couldn’t see my walk’s end. I could even smell a(n) 50 in the air, but the horizon remained 51 in salt marsh (盐沼地). Then, almost without realizing it, I was “there”.Where I had hoped to see the 52 , I saw salt marsh, like the chocolate milkshake of the North Sea!
Feeling like a bit of a fool, I headed down into the nearest marsh and left my boot prints in the mud. The seven-and-a half-hour walk had hurt my 53 , but I’d acted on an old idea, done it, and 54 it off my list. I was now free to think of new ones and move on, in this dawn of possibilities we all face. Life is too short to let ideas stagnate(停滞); now’s the time to turn them to 55 .

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。
I looked up from my desk to see the teacher writing on the board:“Battle of the Books!” She smiled and said,“This time it’s a teamwork. You’re going to be in teams of two, and set a reading goal. Every team that meets their goal by the end of the month will get a prize!”The lunch bell sounded before she could explain any more rules.
As I gathered my things, Liya passed my desk and said,“Teammates ” Since Liya and I shared the same interest in graphic novel(漫画小说), and we took Hindi language class together, we teamed up automatically. I was both relieved and excited to have my team. Then we got to the cafeteria and quickly threw out a bunch of ideas of what to do at our table.
I looked to our third friend Kash, with whom the three of us always do stuff together, “Kash, do you have ideas for us ”“Why would I give you guys ideas ”He said gloomily(阴沉地).I’ll save that for my team... whoever that is. Now I see how I rank in the friendship lineup.” Kash replied in an angry tone.
I knew he was mad for a reason. If I were him, not only would I think that I ranked last in that group, but I’d also be panicking about what team I could join. But now, I was on the inside and Kash wasn’t. I felt like the only way to fix this would be three people on a team. So, as the teacher walked by our table, I asked for her permission. What surprised me was that she had intended to draw names to assign random groups, but didn’t get a chance to say it before lunch.
Awkward and frustrated, we were stuck in this dilemma. Having first teamed up without Kash didn’t mean we didn’t like him. I knew we, especially I, wouldn’t be able to enjoy any prize if our friend felt bad about being left out. So, I decided to do something to make it up for him and convince Kash he was an equal friend.
注意：1.续写词数应为150 左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1 : That night, I was struck by an idea as I read a graphic novel that all three of us liked.
Paragraph 2 : The next day, I handed my pages of apology to Kash.
