Statistics from the China Film Administration, China's box office revenue during the Spring Festival holiday hit a record high of 8 billion yuan, or more than 1.1 billion U. S. dollars, the milestone being achieved in the shortest time span in the history of the Chinese film industry.
Seizing a lot of attention due to actress-director Jia Ling's weight loss of up to 50 kilograms in one year, YOLO—a comedy recounting Jia's portrayal of an oversized woman striving to become her better self —earned 2.72 billion yuan, topping the festival box-office charts. Many people wanted to watch the comedy film with their families during this 'festival of reunions', because the film went far beyond expectation whose story in Yolo was so inspiring. So, it was a good thing to watch it with children.

The news industry has had a rough decade. Print readership is steadily declining, newspapers are closing, and journalists with decades of experience are being laid off. In response, major newspapers have made significant changes. They're attempting to combat declining reader interest by shortening stories, creating clickbait（诱饵性标题）, and most especially, using social media to their advantage.
With the rise of social media sites, many people have claimed that we are entering a new age in which news must be delivered in 140 characters or fewer. People's ability to focus on long-form content and engage in deep reading has also been declining due to the endless distractions and excessive information in today's world. This change in reading habits has led to a preference for short, easily understood news pieces that can be quickly consumed. To interest a more specific and generally younger readership, newspapers have revised content, prioritizing articles that are visually appealing instead of having depth.
But, in reality, there is still a demand for in-depth reporting. In this era of misinformation and clickbait, readers are seeking reliable sources of news that provide context, analysis, and accountability. Depth reporting explores the fundamental causes, involves multiple perspectives, and uncovers the hidden truths that shape our world, helping readers get a more comprehensive understanding of complicated matters.
While social media have changed the way we consume news, the quality of news remains essential for the public. It's crucial for the news industry to achieve a balance between catering to changing reader preferences while also maintaining the integrity（完整性） of news. This means providing both quick updates and in-depth analysis, and using social media to promote their content, but not at the expense of accuracy or integrity. By doing so, news organizations can ensure that they remain relevant and trusted sources of information in a rapidly changing media environment.
28. What problem does traditional news industry face
A. The decline of readership.
B. The lack of long-form stories.
C. The spread of unreliable information.
D. The shortage of experienced journalists.
29. What does the underlined word "prioritizing" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Checking out. B. Cutting down.
C. Paying no attention to. D. Attaching importance to.
30. What do we know from paragraph 3
A. People's need for in-depth reporting is decreasing.
B. Social media has played a key role in promoting hidden facts.
C. Clickbait greatly increases readers' interests in exploring truths.
D. In-depth reporting can improve readers' comprehension of complex issues.
31. According to the passage, the news industry should achieve a balance between ______.
A. providing quick updates and focusing on popular topics
B. stating matters in multiple perspectives and shortening articles
C. satisfying readers' preferences and ensuring the quality of news
D. widening news sources and maintaining the accuracy of contents
D
Artificial intelligence(AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm（算法） that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.
The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team's knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings（隆隆声） in the Earth.
This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. "You don't see earthquakes coming, " explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program(TexNet). "It's a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that's a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide."
While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT's Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. "That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward, " concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau's director.
32. How does the AI forecast earthquakes
A. By identifying data from the satellites.
B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth.
C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings.
D. By monitoring changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
33. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3
A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C. The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction.
34. What does the follow-up research focus on
A. Conducting tests in different locations.
B. Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
35. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly.
C. Accurate and unique. D. Pioneering and promising.

Flexible Thinking for Your Career
Does work ever leave you feeling stuck in a rut（一成不变） with limited opportunities to be creative 36 But is this even possible, and if so, how to improve your flexibility
Most jobs require the ability to problem-solve and cope with challenges, at least to a certain extent. 37 If that teacher is a flexible thinker, they will be able to adapt their classroom management, even if they haven't seen this situation before.
According to Leonard Mlodinow, author of Flexibility, flexible thinkers rely on idea generation （创意生成） and imagination. _ 38 “Flexible thinking is what you need when the circumstances change, and you are dealing with something new. It's not about following rules.”Therefore, instead of following the typical procedure for inducting a new student, the teacher might come up with a tailored（特制的） response, based on prediction and previous experience.
39 According to Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett, it's all about exercising the brain. One way of doing this, she says, is through exposure to a variety of experiences which make it easier to adjust to new situations. A lot of companies now consider flexible thinking in the workplace, especially when it comes to design. Workspaces may have couches where workers can lie down and relax, giving them the space to come up with and process new ideas.
Mlodinow says it's very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone. 40 So, if you want to make a change, you can become a flexible thinker too, with a little practice.
A. They are willing to experiment and take risks.
B. So, how can you become a more flexible thinker
C. To grow quickly, you might want to increase your brain's flexibility.
D. Imagine a teacher who has a new and very nervous student in their class.
E. Researchers have also identified numerous personality traits that are associated with creativity.
F. This will help you understand multiple points of view and become better in many different aspects of your career.
G. Our research also indicates that people can practice flexible thinking every day when they experience negative emotions.

Jean’s dream was to be a great chef, so when she was 20, she travelled to France, which has the most famous cuisine in the world, to learn to cook. After twelve years, she was among the best.
Her father, Bob, was getting old, and she wanted to be near him. Jean accepted an offer from one of Washington’s top restaurants. The manager offered her a handsome salary, and 30% ownership of the restaurant. The next day, Jean went to sign the contract. As she got out of the car, she caught sight of a green sunshade. Instead of going to meet the manager, she crossed the street towards the old restaurant, Fargonetti’s. She pushed open the door and the memories came flooding back.
Jean’s mum died when she was just 11, and her father lost his job and was forced to freelance (从事自由职业). Money was very short. When Jean turned thirteen, Bob had made a reservation at Fargonetti’s, the capital’s best restaurant.
“I’m not hungry, baby girl. I had a huge breakfast,” Bob said. “This is all for you!” “Oh,” Jean cried. “Daddy was so silly! He’s been saving to come here for lunch for MONTHS and now he ruined his appetite with breakfast!” The waiter, Carl Bader, immediately realised what was going on and went to Mr Fargonetti, the restaurant owner, and told him about Jean and Bob.
An hour later, surprisingly, the waiter brought wonderful dishes and set them before the father and daughter. “Lunch is on the house with Mr Fargoneti’s compliments (致意),” Carl said. For Bob and Jean, it was a free but magical meal. They were on cloud nine when they walked out. “Jean,“ said Bob happily. “I feel our luck has changed!” And it did! The next day, one of Bob’s old friends called and offered him a job at a new magazine, and Jean believed Fargonetti’s had made it all happen. That was when she decided to become a chef!
Twenty years later, the old restaurant looked run-down and sad, but Jean recognised the waiter immediately. “Carl ” she asked delightedly.

35. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段内容及第四段中的“that their AI algorithm... earthquake tracking networks”可知， AI 在地震预测方面的应用是一个里程碑式的研究成果。该技术可以帮助减少经济和人力损失，并有望显著改善全球地震预防工作。如果在可靠的地震跟踪网络区域使用AI算法，它将能够产生更准确的预测。再结合最后一段内容，研究人员希望将该系统与基于物理的模型相结合，这种策略在数据贫乏或缺乏的地区可能尤为重要。由此可推知，该地震预测技术是富有开创性和前景很好的。故选D项。
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章讲述了日常工作中的“弹性思维”，“弹性思维”指的就是根据当前的状况来调整自己的想法、行动和感受的思维方式。人们可以通过激发想象力、尝试新事物和接触新体验来提高自己的变通能力。
36. C 【解析】C项中的flexibility与设空后的 how to improve your flexibility？相呼应。设空处“为了快速成长，你可能需要增加大脑的灵活性”，故C项符合语境。
37. D 【解析】设空后“如果老师是一个灵活的思想家，他们将能够适应课堂管理，即使他们以前从未见过这种情况”，故D项“想象一下，一个老师的班上刚来了一个非常紧张的学生。”符合语境， D 项中teacher属于原词复现。
38. A 【解析】设空处前一句是说，“根据《弹性》一书的作者 Leonard Mlodinow的说法，灵活的思想家依赖于生成的创意和想象力”，设空处“他们愿意尝试并承担风险”，因此，A 项符合语境。A 项中的 they指代前一句中的flexible thinkers。
39. B 【解析】设空处为小标题。后面一段的内容主要谈了“弹性思维的练习方式”，故 B 项“那么，你如何才能成为一个更好的弹性思维者？”符合语境。
40. F 【解析】设空处前一句是说，“Mlodinow说，花时间做白日梦，倾听不同意见和概念，花时间在舒适区之外做活动，这一点非常重要”，设空处“这将帮助你理解多个观点，并在职业生涯的许多不同方面变得更好”，因此， F 项符合语境。F 项中的 this指代前一句中的做法。

【答案与解析】
本文是一篇新闻报道。在最近的考古发掘中，位于中国西南部四川省稻城县的皮洛遗址出土了3000多件石器。皮洛遗址是一个大型旧石器时代遗址，可追溯到20多万年前。
56. which/that考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，先行词是 a large-scale Paleolithic site，指物，故此处用关系代词 which 或 that。
57. located考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，此处用非谓语动词；be located 意为“位于；坐落于”，故此处用所给动词的过去分词。
58. has revealed 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据空后的时间状语 since the beginning of thearchaeological excavations in April 2021.可知，此处用现在完成时，又因为主语是 The Piluo site，故此处填has revealed。
59. providing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，此处用非谓语动词； 动词 provide 与其逻辑主语（即空前的一整句话）存在主谓关系，故此处用所给动词的现在分词，作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。
60. different 考查词形转换。此处用所给名词的形容词修饰空后的名词 regions。
61. the 考查冠词。此处特指第一段提到的四川电视台的报道，又因为空后有 same修饰，故用定冠词 the。
62. less 考查形容词的比较级。根据空后的标志性词than可知，此处用所给形容词的比较级。
63. to construct 考查非谓语动词。“allow sb. to do sth.”意为“允许/使得某人做某事”，为固定用法。
64. discoveries考查名词复数。根据谓语部分的have可知，此处用所给名词的复数。
65. as考查介词。根据句意“皮洛遗址的发现已被国家文物局列为2021年中国十大考古发现之一”可知，此处用介词as。

67.参考例文：
The man looked surprised. “Yes, ma’am,” he said. “How may I help you ” “Twenty years ago I came here for my thirteenth birthday,” Jean explained. “You spoke to Mr Fargonetti and he gave us a wonderful lunch for free. I’m so glad to have an opportunity to thank you!” Carl smiled, remembering Jean. He told Jean that Mr Fargonetti passed away five years ago, and he left Carl the restaurant. Carl had promised he would keep it going, and he tried, but it wasn’t that easy. Their chef left and the replacement was a disaster.
Jean was staring at Carl and a brilliant idea was taking shape in her mind. “I’m a chef. I’m Jean Earl,” she said. “I’ll turn Fargonetti’s around! Let’s do it for Mr Fargonetti!” Carl’s mouth hung open. He knew Jean was famous and was afraid he couldn’t afford her. However, Jean just wanted to help, asking for no pay. Jean turned down the contract she’d been offered, and went to work at Fargonetti’s. Within a year, the old restaurant was booked solid, with waiting lists of celebrity customers. A kind gesture can change a life and bring good things to you.
