At 12, my father decided to take me on a trip to France. I had never been out of the country before, so I was very excited. My aunt, my father and I went around with my father showing us all the unbelievable sites in Paris. None of us spoke much French but we loved the city.
We had taken the subway all over the city and were congratulating ourselves on our mastering what is honestly an excellent subway design that is pretty easy to follow. We decided to visit Versailles by train. We chatted happily along the way until my father realized we were far into the French countryside and no one around spoke English.
We reached the end of the line and felt afraid when everyone finally left the train. An old man and his grandchild noticed us and came to help. He spoke no English, so in broken French we tried to explain. When he finally understood, this great man settled his grandson and showed us to the correct train and then boarded with us.
Later we knew the truth that there was a train transfer (转乘) and he didn’t want us to miss it. This kind man rode a train for an hour and a half out of his way to make sure that three Americans got where they wanted to be. He refused to let us pay for his ticket. He did it all with a gentle smile and patted our hands gently at the stop. Then in his quiet way, he boarded the train to return the way he had come.
What impressed me most was the man and his kindness during the amazing trip. Some Americans think the French are rude for some reason, but I always try to persuade them to change their minds with this very story.
29. What happened to the author and his family on the train
A. They couldn’t understand the signs of the train.
B. They failed to get off the train at the right time.
C. They had different opinions about where to go first.
D. They found it hard to communicate with the French.
30. How did the man help the author and his family
A. He paid for their train tickets. B. He showed them the returning way.
C. He invited them to travel together. D. He led them to their place.
31. Which of the following can best describe the last paragraph
A. Seeing is believing. B. Being kind is a good manner.
C. Travelling enriches one’s life. D. Helping others brings great pleasure.
32. What’s the purpose of the author’s writing the text
A. To explain an unexpected problem.
B. To list the unbelievable sites in Paris.
C. To share an unforgettable foreign experience.
D. To show the importance of mastering a foreign language.
C
One of the top sources of added sugar in children’s diets in America is in their breakfast cereal (麦片). A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine shows that advertising drives sales of high-sugar cereals when it’s aimed directly at kids under 12 — but not when it is designed for adults.
In the study researchers looked at all cereals bought by 77,000 U.S. households over a nine-year period, between 2008 and 2017. They also looked at Nielsen ratings data, which closely tracked all the ads that people in a household saw — both children and adults. The study showed a clear connection: more ads for children led to more sugary cereal being bought by families. But ads for adults did not lead to more buying. And these extensive data also showed that behaviors that were learned in childhood could track into adulthood, which could lead to poor health outcomes over a lifetime.
The study is the first to directly compare the influence of food ads aimed at children with those aimed at adults. The findings offer new evidence of how food marketing turns children into the “final weapon” in influencing family spending because they continuously ask their parents to buy an idea known as “pester power”.
The food industry started the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative, a voluntary effort to police itself. The 21 participating food companies made a promise to cut back on marketing unhealthy foods to children under 12 — later revised to under 13. A new study conducted in 2024 showed that children’s contact with cereal ads on TV programming has dropped sharply.
But Lindsay Smith Taillie, a food policy researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, says these voluntary efforts aren’t making a difference. Advertisements, like kids’ eyeballs, are moving online, making it even harder to know what marketing children are shown, Taillie notes.
33. What mainly drives children to buy sugary cereal
A. Nutritional value promotion. B. Family breakfast traditions.
C. Kid-focused marketing strategies. D. Adult-centered advertisements.
34. What does the underlined phrase “pester power” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Parents’ unconditional love. B. Children’s uncontrolled spending.
C. Parents’ growing spending. D. Children’s repeated buying requests.
35. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. An expectation for further study. B. A limitation of the research method.
C. The follow-up influence of the study. D. The potential application of the findings.
36. What is Taillie’s attitude toward the voluntary efforts
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Uncertain.
D
Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost.
Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention.
Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.
Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result.
There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.”
The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care
37 What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study
A. The procedures it followed.
B. The limitations in its design.
C. The conclusion it has drawn.
D. The diversity among its participants.
38. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have
A. People would avoid using reminders.
B. People would stop thinking independently.
C. People would rely less on their own memory.
D. People would care less about the spoken word.
39. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate
A. AI can change users’ mental capacity.
B. AI is not widely available to the public.
C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness.
D. AI is not capable of solving every problem.
40. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Will AI Make You Stupid
B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks
C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities
D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit
