【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要为大学生推荐了装饰寝室的几种实用的方法以及商品。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Try decorative plants”中“With all of your classes, you probably won’t have time to keep real plants alive, but thankfully you can get some realistic-looking greens online to bring some grown-up vibes into the space.”（由于学业繁重，你可能没有时间让真正的植物存活，但幸运的是，你可以在网上找到一些看起来很逼真的绿色植物，给空间带来一些成年人的感觉。）可知，作者认为学生可能没有时间照看真正的植物，所以建议他们买一些仿真植物。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Try temporary wallpaper”中“This is probably the easiest way to decorate your dorm room.”（这可能是装饰宿舍最简单的方法了。）可知，使用临时墙纸是最简单的装饰方法。故选B项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Try decorative plants”下文中的“Miracliy Artificial Rose Flower Garland $16 AT AMAZON Now 45% Off The Current Price”（Miracliy Artificial Rose Flower Garland在亚马逊销售，原价16美元，现价5.5折）以及“Add fun lights”下文中“Tsrarey Sunset Lamp Projection$14 AT AMAZON Now 20% Off The Current Price”（Tsrarey Sunset Lamp Projection在亚马逊销售 ，原价14美元，现价8折）可知，这两件商品的总价是16*0.55+14*0.8=20美元。故选D项。
B
A doctor walked into an operating room where an operation was being performed. Everything seemed to be going well, but the doctor noticed that no one was wearing a face mask. He was surprised -- wearing a face mask is a basic hospital procedure. But he didn’t say anything. The operation was a success, but a few days later the patient came down with a fever. It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t followed a simple rule.
Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost hospital services. Gawande is a doctor himself, and in his research he suggests that if surgeons run through a simple checklist before every operation, then lives will be saved. And he’s got the numbers to prove it. In 2001, an experiment at an American hospital required doctors to use a five-point checklist before they carried out specific procedures. The checklist was just a list of routine things doctor should normally do without thinking -- wearing latex gloves, washing their hands before and after every patient, and so on. By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.
In his study, Gawande looks at other professions, too, to support his argument that checklists reduce accidents and improve success rates. He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up with some good examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures. Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations. People would demand that officials look into these events immediately.
Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. It reminds us that sometimes the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for doctors.
24. The function of the first paragraph in this text is to ________.
A. introduce the origin of the idea for Gawande’s study
B. explain the importance of the basic hospital procedure
C. explore the causes of infections among patients in hospitals
D. emphasize the urgency of providing relevant training to doctors
25. What are the two experiments in paragraph 2 intended to prove
A. Young medical staff need to follow the checklists.
B. Checklists are necessary for hospitals in particular.
C. Hospitals are required to maintain good management.
D. Medical infections can be reduced by observing a set of rules.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Air crashes hardly occurred with the basic procedures.
B. Gawande intends to promote his idea to other professions.
C. High buildings may collapse due to engineers’ miscalculations.
D. It is a must for a pilot or engineer to use their checklists.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward Gawande’s study
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了医生Atul Gawande受到一个医疗事件的启发，着手研究如何通过严格执行操作程序清单提升医疗服务及其对其他行业的重要性。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t followed a simple rule.”（结果她得了严重的感染，可能是因为医生和护士没有遵守一个简单的规则。）及第二段第一句“Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost hospital services.”（Atul Gawande对这个故事很感兴趣，并开展了一项关于清单对提高医院服务的重要性的研究。）可知，第一段描述的医疗事故激发了Atul Gawande去研究严格执行操作程序清单的重要性，故第一段介绍了Atul Gawande的研究想法的来源。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.”（通过确保遵守清单，在27个月的实验中几乎没有感染，他们估计大约有8条生命得救。当这份清单在密歇根州的医院再次进行测试时，感染率下降了66%。）可知，这两个实验都表明严格执行操作程序清单可以减少医疗事故，提高手术成功率。故选D项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up with some good examples.”（他指出，像工程师和飞行员这样的人一直在使用清单，他举出了一些很好的例子。）及第三四句“Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures. Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations.”（想象一下，一架飞机因为飞行员没有遵守基本程序而坠毁。假设一座摩天大楼因为工程师们忘记做一些重要的计算而倒塌。）可知，Gawande发现严格遵守操作程序对其他行业的重要性。像工程师及飞行员等职业稍一疏忽就会造成重大的事故，故飞行员或工程师必须严格执行操作程序清单。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. It reminds us that sometimes the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for doctors.”（Gawande的研究发现非常有趣，受到了公众的广泛关注。它提醒我们，有时候避免犯错最简单的方法就是遵循一套非常简单的规则。这与我们所有人都相关，而不仅仅是医生。）可知，作者认为Gawande的研究非常有价值，对其持认可的态度。故选C项。
C
Can humans really understand what animals are saying, or are we just barking up the wrong tree
“Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the key to unlocking the fascinating insights. Beyond creating chatbots that charm people, machine learning may soon make it possible to decode (解码) animal calls,” says Raskin, co-founder of the nonprofit Earth Species Project. It’s developing AI models that imitate a variety of species, aiming to have “conversations” with animals. Its team is collecting diverse data from various species and building machine-learning models for analysis. Project CETI (鲸类动物翻译计划) focuses on understanding a particular species, in this case the sperm whale.
Sperm whales have complex social groups. When a familiar young male rejoined his family, researchers seized the chance to record their sounds. For two decades, scientists documented two sperm whale groups, capturing their clicking sounds. After manually decoding some sounds, they turned to AI for faster translation. Using a neural (神经的) network, the team trained it to discern individual whales from a subset of sounds. Next, their ambitious goal is to train a computer to speak whale.
As tech advances, the door has been opened to using machine learning to decode unfamiliar languages. It’s found that AI tools have practical value beyond research. Translating animal sounds aids endangered species. Scientists study caged birds’ calls to grasp sound changes, explaining difficulties in reintroduction. Machine learning decodes pets’ signals like barks and facial expressions. Raskin’s AI model translates dogs’ expressions, revealing their surprising capabilities to owners. Additionally, it helps predict pig emotions based on their sounds, enhancing animal welfare. Advancements deepen our understanding of animals.
Now enthusiastic scientists are committed to open-source data and model sharing. “Every time you invent a technology, you also invent a responsibility,” Raskin says. “Designing a ‘whale chatbot’ demands we imagine an animal’s experience. The true value of any language is that it helps us relate to others.”
28. What is the purpose of the Earth Species Project
A. To gather vast data with a computer.
B. To create chatbots that imitate animals.
C. To understand animal languages using AI.
D. To study the social behavior of sperm whales.
29. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Train. B. Recognize. C. Record. D. Protect.
30. How do AI tools provide practical value in deepening our insights into animals
A. By translating animals’ calls and looks. B. By advancing animal well-being.
C. By reintroducing endangered species. D. By studying animals’ negative emotions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Lost in Translation Not with AI
B. A Future of Chatting with Animals
C. Whales SOS: Human-AI Unite for Miracles
D. Practical Value of Machine Learning Models
【答案】28 C 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了非营利机构Earth Species Project利用人工智能工具解码动物语言，加深人类对动物的理解和共情。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s developing AI models that imitate a variety of species, aiming to have ‘conversations’ with animals.（该公司正在开发模仿各种物种的人工智能模型，旨在与动物“对话”。)”可知，其目的是用人工智能来理解动物的语言。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Sperm whales have complex social groups. ...For two decades, scientists documented two sperm whale groups, capturing their clicking sounds. After manually decoding some sounds, they turned to AI for faster translation. ...individual whales from a subset of sounds. Next, their ambitious goal is to train a computer to speak whale.(抹香鲸有复杂的社会群体。……二十年来，科学家们记录了两个抹香鲸群，捕捉到它们的咔哒声。在手动解码一些声音后，他们转向人工智能来加快翻译速度。……从声音子集中（）单个鲸鱼。接下来，他们雄心勃勃的目标是训练一台计算机说鲸鱼语。)”可知，该团队利用AI来将个体抹香鲸(的声音)与一个子集的声音分辨开来，由此可知，discern意为“识别”，与B项“Recognize”意思接近。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Machine learning decodes pets’ signals like barks and facial expressions.(机器学习可以解码宠物的吠叫和面部表情等信号。)”可知，AI工具能为加深我们对动物的认知提供实际价值，其背后的机制是破译动物的语言信号，如叫声和面部表情。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段““Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the key to unlocking the fascinating insights. Beyond creating chatbots that charm people, machine learning may soon make it possible to decode (解码) animal calls,” says Raskin, co-founder of the nonprofit Earth Species Project. It’s developing AI models that imitate a variety of species, aiming to have “conversations” with animals.(“人工智能(AI)掌握着打开这些迷人洞见的钥匙。除了创造吸引人的聊天机器人，机器学习可能很快就能解码动物的叫声，”非营利性地球物种项目的联合创始人拉斯金说。该公司正在开发模仿各种物种的人工智能模型，旨在与动物“对话”。)”以及通读全文可知，文章讲述了非营利机构Earth Species Project利用人工智能工具解码动物语言，加深人类对动物的理解和共情。由此可知，B项“A Future of Chatting with Animals（与动物聊天的未来）”是合适的标题。故选B。
D
In the autumn of 2020, while stargazing on his balcony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cole was inspired to start taking photos of his kitchen counter. He compared the daily migrations of his pots, pans, spoons, and graters to the revolutions of celestial bodies (天体), and began to track them in a “counter history”. A year later, he published the results as Golden Apple of the Sun (2021), a book-length photo essay that expands his isolated domestic experiment until it seems to include the whole world. Cole writes about the hunger he suffered as a boarding-school student in Nigeria, Dutch Golden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient cookbook. “The later a photograph is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cole explained. Somehow, from this kitchen sink of memoir (回忆录), art history, and observant boredom emerges a portrait of the pandemic’s collective solitude, “this year of feeling buried in the dark earth like bulbs.”
Cole’s work makes an art—and a necessary virtue—of close looking. Open City (2011), his first novel, won praise for its portrayal of post-9/11 New York, whose buried histories of violence and displacement resurface in the course of a medical student’s wanderings. In Cole’s essays, tranquil Vermeers reveal traces of empire in colonial times, and stormy Caravaggios picture beforehand the uncertain journeys of twenty-first-century migrants.
His great theme is the limits of vision, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis for a kind of second sight. “Among the human rights is the right to remain unseen and dark,” Cole writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent essay collection. In his own pictures, people seldom appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied. Blind Spot (2017), an experimental photo book recording his travels, gathers images of hotel rooms, border fences, ships, and tombs. “Darkness is not empty,” Cole writes. “It is information at rest. Beauty, briefly, slips from the shadows.”
32. What made Cole start to take photos of his kitchen counter
A. His isolated domestic lifestyle. B. His great interest in photo-taking.
C. The inspiration he got while stargazing. D. The suffering as a boarding-school student.
33. What do we know about Cole’s first novel
A. It was praised for making a new art. B. It was written through a student’s view.
C. It resurfaces traces of a colonial empire. D. It foresees the uncertain journey of migrants.
34. Why does Cole prefer the limits of vision in his works
A. People can feel what is unseen by themselves.
B. Human rights can be well protected in the theory.
C. It is one of the basic skills for the artists like him.
D. He starts a new style to write about common people.
35. What can we infer about Cole
A. He has a limited vision. B. He published a cookbook.
C. He enjoys taking photos of people. D. He focuses on stories behind pictures.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了摄影师兼作家Teju Cole的一些作品及创作灵感。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In the autumn of 2020, while stargazing on his balcony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cole was inspired to start taking photos of his kitchen counter.(2020年秋天，Teju Cole在马萨诸塞州剑桥市的阳台上观星时，受到启发，开始拍摄厨房柜台的照片)”可知，在观星时得到的灵感让科尔开始拍厨房柜台的照片。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Open City (2011), his first novel, won praise for its portrayal of post-9/11 New York, whose buried histories of violence and displacement resurface in the course of a medical student’s wanderings.(《开放城市》是他的第一部小说，因其对9/11后纽约的描绘而赢得赞誉。在一名医学生的流浪过程中，纽约被掩埋的暴力和流离失所的历史重新浮现出来)”可知，他的第一部小说是从一个学生的角度写的。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“His great theme is the limits of vision, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis for a kind of second sight.(他的伟大主题是视觉的局限，以及这些局限可以作为第二视觉的基础)”可推知，科尔在他的作品中更喜欢视觉的局限因为人们可以洞察看不见的东西。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In his own pictures, people seldom appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied.(在他自己的照片中，人物很少直接出现，但他们的存在无处不在)”可知，他关注的是图片背后的故事。故选D。

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。
It has been a few rough years. Many of us are finding ourselves exhausted, burned out, struggling to build balance back into our lives. We need to recharge. Water can help.
Participating in water activities such as swimming or surfing can help us enter a “flow state”. ___36___ It calms the mind, which is often absorbed by reasoning and worry, says Ricardo Gil-da-Costa, a neuroscientist and chief executive of the neurotechnology company Neuroverse, who has studied how water affects our brain.
Bodies of water also can produce a glorious sense of awe—the emotional response to something vast that expands and challenges how we see the world. ___37___ Water naturally relaxes us and helps focus our thoughts by taking away all the noise.
Water has special properties that may boost nature’s positive impact, environmental psychologists say. When we are near water, there is often less visual and auditory information to process.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了水的治愈和放松作用。水能减少我们需要处理的视觉和听觉信息，让我们的大脑和身体都得到休息。同时，水的动态性和节奏性声音能以一种不过于苛刻的方式吸引我们的注意力，帮助我们从日常生活的压力中解脱出来。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Participating in water activities such as swimming or surfing can help us enter a “flow state”.(参加游泳或冲浪等水上活动可以帮助我们进入“心流状态”)”提到生僻概念“flow state”，此句应适当解释，而下文“It calms the mind, which is often absorbed by reasoning and worry, says Ricardo Gil-da-Costa, a neuroscientist and chief executive of the neurotechnology company Neuroverse, who has studied how water affects our brain.(神经科学家、神经技术公司Neuroverse的首席执行官Ricardo Gil-da-Costa研究了水如何影响我们的大脑，他说，水能使大脑平静下来，因为大脑经常被推理和担忧所吸引)”阐释此状态的效果。D选项“这意味着我们完全投入到我们正在做的事情中”衔接顺畅，故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Bodies of water also can produce a glorious sense of awe—the emotional response to something vast that expands and challenges how we see the world.(水体也能产生一种光荣的敬畏感——一种对扩展和挑战我们看待世界方式的巨大事物的情感反应)”提到“awe”，可知，本句进一步阐释其效应。故G选项“敬畏可以减轻压力，帮助我们正确看待事物”符合语境。故选G。
【38题详解】
本段前两句“Water has special properties that may boost nature’s positive impact, environmental psychologists say. When we are near water, there is often less visual and auditory information to process.(环境心理学家说，水具有特殊的性质，可以增强大自然的积极影响。当我们靠近水时，需要处理的视觉和听觉信息往往较少)”笼统地提到水有一些特殊属性含有较少视觉和听觉信息。由空前“Our mind can rest(我们的心可以休息)”可知，行文逻辑已经从说明水的特质转变为阐释水对人的影响或效果。此空下文“Besides, its smell can stir (激发) up positive memories and associations.(此外，它的气味还能唤起积极的记忆和联想)”亦是阐释其效果，可知本句是在阐释水声对人的影响或效果。E选项“水的声音，典型的稳定和柔和，安慰我们”符合语境，故选E。
【39题详解】
由前三段的段首句可知，每段从不同方面解释水具有治愈力的原因，此段也不例外。由下文“It moves rhythmically, producing a play of light, color and sound that is fascinating.(它有节奏地移动，产生一种迷人的光、色和声的游戏)”可知，此段着重于介绍水的动态性，A选项“最重要的是：水是动态的”符合语境。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“It moves rhythmically, producing a play of light, color and sound that is fascinating. It holds our attention, but not in an overly demanding way.(它有节奏地移动，产生一种迷人的光、色和声的游戏。它吸引了我们的注意力，但不是以一种过分要求的方式)”可知，此处需要从正面来说明水对我们有较为柔和的影响，即“软迷恋”。故B选项“研究人员称之为‘软魅力’”衔接顺畅。故选B。

【56题详解】
考查时态。句意：上海位于东亚季风气候的亚热带，四季明显，气候湿润。分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是“Shanghai”，故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填enjoys。

【答案】Dear Daniel,
I hope you’re having a wonderful time touring our city. You told me earlier that you are free this Sunday, so maybe we can do a city walk to explore some lesser-known sites and experience the authentic lifestyle here.
Here is my plan. We’ll meet at 9:00 am, at the old pagoda near my school to admire the beautiful architecture and soak in its cultural grandeur. Then, we can head to the ruins of the city wall built around 2,000 years ago, and feel first-hand the weight of history. Our next stop will be an ordinary bridge decorated with delicately carved stone lions, whose distinct facial features and vivid expressions will blow you away! After that, we can hit the snack street to sample some street food and browse the unique handicrafts, some of which can make perfect souvenirs!
This city walk will make your trip truly complete. I really want to spend this Sunday with you and discover these hidden gems together. So, are you in
Sincerely,
Li Hua

67. 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 never pick up hitch-hikers (搭便车者) as a rule. I don’t know what moved me to do so today. I was heading from North Platte to Brady and he was just outside of North Platte. He jumped in and said, “Thanks for stopping.” I said, “No problem, I’m going to Brady about 23 miles up the road, and I’ll take you that far.”
As we were conversing, I noticed he smelt of alcohol. I also noticed his wrinkled, sun darkened and unshaven face, his messy hair and clothes. But what I noticed most was his clear, large, blue eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and I believe it, if you look closely, you can pretty much tell the kind of soul a person has through their eyes. His eyes were almost indescribable. They were so spellbinding, not a bit of hate in them. Looking at his very rough appearance, I could tell he’d been down a very hard road. Somehow, despite the road he had been down, there was no hate in his eyes, only love.
I asked him if he wanted a smoke, and he said yes, so I gave him one, then I let him keep the whole pack, for which he seemed genuinely grateful. I started asking him where he was from, where he was heading, whether he had a family, etc. He told me he had been on the road for six days, coming from Arizona where he had recently had a heart attack and heart surgery. He was pretty much healed up but couldn’t find work. He was heading back to his birthplace of Kansas City, which is where I was born as well. He said he lost his wife to a brain tumor ten years ago, and that he never had kids because his wife couldn’t have any. We talked the rest of the way, and I had a feeling that there was something about this guy that I couldn’t put my finger on, but it was something special.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So we got to Brady and I said, “Well, this is the end of my line.”
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I mentioned, I told him I was going to give him some money.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 So we got to Brady and I said, “Well, this is the end of my line.” He looked at me with gratitude in his eyes and thanked me again for the ride. As he stepped out of the car, I couldn’t help but think of his story and struggle for life. So I added, “When we stop, I’m going to give you some money too so it will be some help on your way.” This is a decision I had subconsciously made in this instance.
As I mentioned, I told him I was going to give him some money. He looked at me with gratitude in his eyes and said, “Thank you, but I don’t need your money. Just your kindness and conversation were enough for me.” As we said our goodbyes, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for this man. Despite the hardships he had faced, he carried himself with grace and a genuine love for others. He taught me that sometimes, the most valuable gift we can give someone is our time and understanding.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了作者在途中与一位搭便车者的相遇及交流，在得知他境况紧迫之后，作者决定离开之际给予他一些钱帮助他，但他委婉拒绝了。通过这次经历，作者明白了有时候我们能给别人的最有价值的礼物就是我们的时间和理解。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“所以我们到达了布雷迪，我说：‘好吧，我的终点到了。’”可知，第一段可描写搭便车者对作者表达感谢及作者想给予他一些钱帮助他。
②由第二段首句内容“正如我提到的，我告诉他我要给他一些钱。”可知，第二段可描写搭便车者拒绝作者的好意并说明缘由，以及作者的感悟。
2.续写线索：搭便车——沟通交流——了解对方——想提供帮助——拒绝金钱——感悟
3.词汇激活

Living in a dorm is definitely one of the best parts of the college experience. You finally get your own space that you can decorate however you want. However, it can be pretty hard to decide how you want to decorate your dorm room so that it’s the perfect, comfortable, personalized space. It’s important that your dorm feels like your home. The following are some ideas for the coolest room on campus.
Try decorative plants
With all of your classes, you probably won’t have time to keep real plants alive, but thankfully you can get some realistic-looking greens online to bring some grown-up vibes into the space.

Try temporary wallpaper
This is probably the easiest way to decorate your dorm room. Just pick a cute pattern or color, and then at the end of the year, peel it off and leave a clean slate for the next student.

A doctor walked into an operating room where an operation was being performed. Everything seemed to be going well, but the doctor noticed that no one was wearing a face mask. He was surprised -- wearing a face mask is a basic hospital procedure. But he didn’t say anything. The operation was a success, but a few days later the patient came down with a fever. It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t followed a simple rule.
Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost hospital services. Gawande is a doctor himself, and in his research he suggests that if surgeons run through a simple checklist before every operation, then lives will be saved. And he’s got the numbers to prove it. In 2001, an experiment at an American hospital required doctors to use a five-point checklist before they carried out specific procedures. The checklist was just a list of routine things doctor should normally do without thinking -- wearing latex gloves, washing their hands before and after every patient, and so on. By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.
In his study, Gawande looks at other professions, too, to support his argument that checklists reduce accidents and improve success rates. He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up with some good examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures. Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations. People would demand that officials look into these events immediately.
Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. It reminds us that sometimes the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for doctors.
24. The function of the first paragraph in this text is to ________.
A. introduce the origin of the idea for Gawande’s study
B. explain the importance of the basic hospital procedure
C. explore the causes of infections among patients in hospitals
D. emphasize the urgency of providing relevant training to doctors
25. What are the two experiments in paragraph 2 intended to prove
A. Young medical staff need to follow the checklists.
B. Checklists are necessary for hospitals in particular.
C. Hospitals are required to maintain good management.
D. Medical infections can be reduced by observing a set of rules.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Air crashes hardly occurred with the basic procedures.
B Gawande intends to promote his idea to other professions.
C. High buildings may collapse due to engineers’ miscalculations.
D. It is a must for a pilot or engineer to use their checklists.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward Gawande’s study
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
C
Can humans really understand what animals are saying, or are we just barking up the wrong tree
“Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the key to unlocking the fascinating insights. Beyond creating chatbots that charm people, machine learning may soon make it possible to decode (解码) animal calls,” says Raskin, co-founder of the nonprofit Earth Species Project. It’s developing AI models that imitate a variety of species, aiming to have “conversations” with animals. Its team is collecting diverse data from various species and building machine-learning models for analysis. Project CETI (鲸类动物翻译计划) focuses on understanding a particular species, in this case the sperm whale.
Sperm whales have complex social groups. When a familiar young male rejoined his family, researchers seized the chance to record their sounds. For two decades, scientists documented two sperm whale groups, capturing their clicking sounds. After manually decoding some sounds, they turned to AI for faster translation. Using a neural (神经的) network, the team trained it to discern individual whales from a subset of sounds. Next, their ambitious goal is to train a computer to speak whale.
As tech advances, the door has been opened to using machine learning to decode unfamiliar languages. It’s found that AI tools have practical value beyond research. Translating animal sounds aids endangered species. Scientists study caged birds’ calls to grasp sound changes, explaining difficulties in reintroduction. Machine learning decodes pets’ signals like barks and facial expressions. Raskin’s AI model translates dogs’ expressions, revealing their surprising capabilities to owners. Additionally, it helps predict pig emotions based on their sounds, enhancing animal welfare. Advancements deepen our understanding of animals.
Now enthusiastic scientists are committed to open-source data and model sharing. “Every time you invent a technology, you also invent a responsibility,” Raskin says. “Designing a ‘whale chatbot’ demands we imagine an animal’s experience. The true value of any language is that it helps us relate to others.”
28. What is the purpose of the Earth Species Project
A. To gather vast data with a computer.
B. To create chatbots that imitate animals.
C. To understand animal languages using AI.
D. To study the social behavior of sperm whales.
29. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Train. B. Recognize. C. Record. D. Protect.
30. How do AI tools provide practical value in deepening our insights into animals
A. By translating animals’ calls and looks. B. By advancing animal well-being.
C. By reintroducing endangered species. D. By studying animals’ negative emotions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Lost in Translation Not with AI
B. A Future of Chatting with Animals
C. Whales SOS: Human-AI Unite for Miracles
D. Practical Value of Machine Learning Models
D
In the autumn of 2020, while stargazing on his balcony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cole was inspired to start taking photos of his kitchen counter. He compared the daily migrations of his pots, pans, spoons, and graters to the revolutions of celestial bodies (天体), and began to track them in a “counter history”. A year later, he published the results as Golden Apple of the Sun (2021), a book-length photo essay that expands his isolated domestic experiment until it seems to include the whole world. Cole writes about the hunger he suffered as a boarding-school student in Nigeria, Dutch Golden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient cookbook. “The later a photograph is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cole explained. Somehow, from this kitchen sink of memoir (回忆录), art history, and observant boredom emerges a portrait of the pandemic’s collective solitude, “this year of feeling buried in the dark earth like bulbs.”
Cole’s work makes an art—and a necessary virtue—of close looking. Open City (2011), his first novel, won praise for its portrayal of post-9/11 New York, whose buried histories of violence and displacement resurface in the course of a medical student’s wanderings. In Cole’s essays, tranquil Vermeers reveal traces of empire in colonial times, and stormy Caravaggios picture beforehand the uncertain journeys of twenty-first-century migrants.
His great theme is the limits of vision, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis for a kind of second sight. “Among the human rights is the right to remain unseen and dark,” Cole writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent essay collection. In his own pictures, people seldom appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied. Blind Spot (2017), an experimental photo book recording his travels, gathers images of hotel rooms, border fences, ships, and tombs. “Darkness is not empty,” Cole writes. “It is information at rest. Beauty, briefly, slips from the shadows.”
32. What made Cole start to take photos of his kitchen counter
A. His isolated domestic lifestyle. B. His great interest in photo-taking.
C. The inspiration he got while stargazing. D. The suffering as a boarding-school student.
33. What do we know about Cole’s first novel
A. It was praised for making a new art. B. It was written through a student’s view.
C. It resurfaces traces of a colonial empire. D. It foresees the uncertain journey of migrants.
34. Why does Cole prefer the limits of vision in his works
A. People can feel what is unseen by themselves.
B. Human rights can be well protected in the theory.
C. It is one of the basic skills for the artists like him.
D. He starts a new style to write about common people.
35. What can we infer about Cole
A. He has a limited vision. B. He published a cookbook.
C. He enjoys taking photos of people. D. He focuses on stories behind pictures.

67. 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 never pick up hitch-hikers (搭便车者) as a rule. I don’t know what moved me to do so today. I was heading from North Platte to Brady and he was just outside of North Platte. He jumped in and said, “Thanks for stopping.” I said, “No problem, I’m going to Brady about 23 miles up the road, and I’ll take you that far.”
As we were conversing, I noticed he smelt of alcohol. I also noticed his wrinkled, sun darkened and unshaven face, his messy hair and clothes. But what I noticed most was his clear, large, blue eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and I believe it, if you look closely, you can pretty much tell the kind of soul a person has through their eyes. His eyes were almost indescribable. They were so spellbinding, not a bit of hate in them. Looking at his very rough appearance, I could tell he’d been down a very hard road. Somehow, despite the road he had been down, there was no hate in his eyes, only love.
I asked him if he wanted a smoke, and he said yes, so I gave him one, then I let him keep the whole pack, for which he seemed genuinely grateful. I started asking him where he was from, where he was heading, whether he had a family, etc. He told me he had been on the road for six days, coming from Arizona where he had recently had a heart attack and heart surgery. He was pretty much healed up but couldn’t find work. He was heading back to his birthplace of Kansas City, which is where I was born as well. He said he lost his wife to a brain tumor ten years ago, and that he never had kids because his wife couldn’t have any. We talked the rest of the way, and I had a feeling that there was something about this guy that I couldn’t put my finger on, but it was something special.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
So we got to Brady and I said, “Well, this is the end of my line.”
