The Tibet autonomous region plans to have 4,000 kilometers of rail lines by 2025 and
eventually connect all its 55 counties and districts by rail,according to the region's
Development and Reform Commission. The region will expand and improve the quality of its
railway network so that rail coverage in the region sees significant growth,and the
contribution of railways to local economies and social development is further strengthened.
The rail network plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan(2021-25)period and beyond was released
recently by the commission. By 2025,the construction of several railway projects,including the
Ya'an-Nyingchi(林芝)section of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway,the Shigatse(日喀则)-Pakhuktso section
of the Xinjiang-Tibet Railway and the Bomi-Ra'uksection of the Yunnan-Tibet Railway,will all see
major progress,according to the plan. Other key projects include the electrification(电气化)of
the existing Qinghai-Tibet Railway and upgrading the double-track railways of the Pakhuktso-
Hetian line of the Xinjiang-Tibet Railway.
The region's rail network will reach 4,000 km by 2025 and 5,000 km by 2035. A will also be
formed by prehensive railway network linking Lhasa,the regional capital,to neighboring
provinces
Hampered by geological and technical challenges,construction of railway lines in Tibet has
always lagged behind the rest of the country,with the region currently having only three rail
lines in operation and the combined length of the tracks is 1,359 km. With a length of 435km and
a top speed of 160 km,the Lhasa-Nyingchi Railway is the first electric railway in Tibet,which is
a part of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway.
Yang Hao,a professor at Beijing Jiaotong University,said more railway projects are planned
to link Tibet with neighboring provinces.“Once these new rail lines become operational,more
cities in the region will be accessed by rail services to cities in northwestern and southwestern
China,and more railways will be facilitated along the border ports,”he said,“It is of great
value in contributing to the region's economic development,transportation upgrade and ethnic(民族
的)unity,”Yang said.
24. What is expected to be achieved by the year of 2025
A. A network centered on Lhasa will be formed.
B. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway will be electrified.

Living with aphasia (失语症)has been compared to living in a country where you don't speak
the language. All of a sudden,you can't express thoughts and feelings as you once could,and if
it is progressive,you are feeling it slip away gradually.
A famous actor,Bruce Willis,retired from a four-decade acting career after an aphasia
diagnosis(诊断),which has put the disorder in the spotlight. People living with aphasia say they
hope his diagnosis will lead to better understanding of a frustrating,isolating condition that
affects about 2 million Americans.“How many people have ever heard of aphasia Pitifully few.
Willis’diagnosis has already sparked a surge of interest in the condition,”said Darlene
Williamson,president of the National Aphasia Association.
Aphasia is not a cognitive(认知的)disorder and doesn't affect intelligence. Most frequently
triggered by strokes or other brain injuries,the condition makes it hard to speak or and
frustration.find the proper words and understand what is said or written,leading to
shame,embarrassment
For patients whose aphasia is brought on by slow progression rather than a stroke,an early
warning sign is often having trouble finding a word. They are forced to stop mid-sentence and
search for what should come next. That type of aphasia,called primary progressive,is
understudied,in part because people are afraid to go to the doctor when they start experiencing
warning signs.
“Early diagnosis and intervention are key so patients can start language therapy and
develop a system of communication for when speech eventually fails.”Williamson said. With good
medical care and speech therapy,most patients should see some improvement. However,“No matter
what the cause of aphasia,there is no cure. We never talk in terms of a cure. We talk in terms
of living successfully and returning to participation in life. Finding out how to
essential,”Williamson added.keep an individual with aphasia supported in the community in
which they have always lived is

Without cracking a single textbook,without spending a day in medical school,the co-author of a
preprint study correctly answered enough questions that it would have passed the real US Medical
Licensing Examination. But the test-taker wasn't a member of Mensa or a medical specialist;it was the
artificial intelligence ChatGPT. The tool,which was created to answer user questions in a conversational
manner,has generated so much buzz that doctors and scientists are trying to determine what its
limitations are and what it could do for health and medicine.
The medical licensing exam is generally considered one of the toughest of any profession because it
not only tests basic science,medical knowledge,but also assesses clinical reasoning,ethics( 道 德 观
念),critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The AI passed all the parts of the exam without any specialized training,showing a high level of
insight in its explanations. This greatly impressed Dr. Victor Tseng,a medical director
英语试题 第7页(共12页)
of the California-based group and a co-author of the study.“Googling the answer is very difficult,”he
explained.“Because there're a lot of red herrings on the Internet. It might take hours to get an
accurate answer.”But ChatGPT was able to do it within five seconds.
The results of the medical licensing exam study were even written up with the help of ChatGPT.
However,the journal Nature created guidelines that said no such program could be credited as an author
because“any authorship carries with it accountability for the work,and AI tools cannot take such
responsibility.”Actually,AI is only as good as the information it's fed,and with so much inaccurate
information available online about things like Covid-19vaccines,it could use that to generate
inaccurate results.
Tseng said he ultimately thinks ChatGPT can enhance medical practice,but won't replace doctors.
Tseng's group will continue to test it to learn why it creates certain errors and what other ethical
factors need to be put in place before using it for real.
“AI is here. The doors are open,”Tseng said.“I firmly believe that it will actually make me and
make us as physicians and providers better.”
32. What can ChatGPT possibly do according to paragraph 1
A. Study in medical school. B. Start an online conversation.
C. Conduct a study independently. D. Pass a challenging examination.
33. What does underlined words“red herrings”in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Appealing topics. B. Efficient helpers.
C. Hidden resources. D. Distracting facts.
34. According to Nature,ChatGPT can't be listed as an author because .
A. it has invented all the data based on inaccurate information
B. it doesn't actively create and is not responsible for the work
C. it doesn't have a bank account and can't receive payment
D. it has failed to demonstrate problem-solving skills
35. What is Tseng's attitude towards the future of ChatGPT
A. Interested yet doubtful. B. Disinterested and calm.
C. Confident yet cautious. D. Critical and disappointed.

In a bustling city where people rushed from one place to another,John,a seasoned taxi
driver,had spent most of his day ferrying passengers from one destination to
another.Suddenly,it started pouring. He was crossing a corner when he noticed a mother with a
child in her arms get out of a taxi. Instead of walking into the building nearby,she stood in
the rain on the sidewalk,looking anxious and worried. He pulled up beside them and rolled down
the window.
“Can I help you,ma’am ”he asked,his voice warm and friendly.
The mother turned to him pleading,“Thank you so much. My 6-year-old son Ivan suddenly
has a fever and is having difficulty breathing now. I need to get him to the hospital right
away.”
John suddenly realized that she was just refused by another taxi driver. Unwilling to
leave them stranded in the middle of a crisis,John said,“Get in my taxi. I'll take you to
hospital.”
He swung open the door and helped the boy into the backseat.“Don't worry,ma'am. I'll get
you there as fast as I can,”he said,his eyes meeting hers in the rearview mirror.
As he drove,John could feel the boy's body trembling. He could hear the mother's whispered
prayers and the sound of her hands clasping together tightly. He knew he had to act fast.
Despite the urgency of the situation,Carl remained calm and composed,skillfully weaving through
traffic and red lights. A few minutes later,they arrived at the hospital,and Ivan was rushed
inside for treatment.
Half an hour later,the boy was out of danger.“It was lucky that you made it here in
time,”said the doctor.“Thank you,thank you so much,”the woman said,her voice choked with
emotion. She then turned to John,fishing in her pocket for cash to pay him.“I have a
principle:No fare for those making trips to hospital!”John refused,and quickly left.
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。
Many years later,63- year- old John was going to hospital for some tests.
“ Free trip to hospital But why ” John asked in surprise.
