M: Have you finished packing
W: No, my suitcase broke so I need something new to put in my things. I’ll get one of those big sports bags as quality backpacks are expensive.
(Text 2)
M: I canceled my trip to New York.
W: Was it due to weather conditions
M: No, there was a family emergency. You know, sometimes things happen in an unexpected way.
(Text 3)
M: Have you sent the plant materials you collected yesterday to the laboratory
W: Not yet.
M: When do you plan to send them
W: I’ll get it done in the next half hour.
(Text 4)
W: Does your house seem empty now after your sister left for college
M: Not really. My grandmother’s moved into her room. It’s really nice having her there because she cooks supper for me if my mom and dad go out for the evening.
(Text 5)
W: Excuse me. I left my book on the bed when I checked out just now. Have you seen it
M: Oh, yes. The housekeeper saw it and gave it to the manager who put it with the other lost property. He keeps it all in the wooden chest behind his desk.
第二节
(Text 6)
W: So if you’re after a low-risk investment, I’d say go for this savings account. It’s an extremely reliable product.
M: What do you mean by reliable
W: Well, you earn a fixed 3% a year.
M: Can I close the account whenever I want
W: Yes, you can.
M: And can I check the account online
W: Of course. And it’s a very user-friendly site. If you have a moment, I can demonstrate to you how easy it is.
(Text 7)
W: Three people, sir
M: Yes.
W: But you only have two boarding passes here. Where’s the third one
M: Oh no! I used the online check-in service at home. I didn’t see there were only two.
W: And that blue suitcase, sir. That’s hold baggage. It’s too big to take on the plane. You need to check it in.
M: I’ll have to go back. Can my children go through security now
W: No, I’m sorry, they can’t. Just go back and explain the situation. Go to the priority check-in. It will be quicker.
M: OK, thanks.
(Text 8)
W: What do you do, Simon
M: I work for a company that produces software. And I’m a sales representative.
W: Who do you work with
M: I work with a small team of representatives. There are three of us. And obviously I have a lot of contact with my customers.
W: So who are your customers
M: International companies that work with producers and suppliers abroad. They use our software to figure out the cost of making a product in different countries.
W: How does this help your customers
M: Well, they know the production cost in each country. Then they choose the supplier with the best price.
W: OK, I see. What sort of problems do you deal with in your work
M: The biggest problem is time — my company only hires 12 people. I primarily sell software at work, but I also need to train our customers to use it and that’s a lot of work.
(Text 9)
W: Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, you are listening to At the Movies! I’m Nicole Reeves.
M: And I’m Anthony Hale. Good evening!
W: Tonight we’re going to look at the new James Bond film. Well, I really liked this new James Bond actor! He’s the most suitable actor that’s ever had the role.
M: I agree, a perfect 007 type.
W: Yeah, and his acting was so unbelievably natural.
M: What did you think of the story
W: It was the standard Bond movie with the usual beautiful women, the usual bad character — nothing new.
M: Well, I have to say that I thought the story was unusually good.
W: Fine, what did you think about the music I was totally impressed by it.
M: Yeah, it really added to the action scenes.
W: Yes, but unfortunately that brings up a weakness in the film for me: the special effects. Again, it’s just the same old stuff.
M: So, overall, how do you rate this movie
W: Well, I have to give it only two stars … a rating of “fair”. How about you
M: Well, I give it my highest rating … four stars out of five!
W: Hmm. Well, that’s all from us tonight. See you tomorrow and we’ll talk about a best-selling novel.
(Text 10)
M: Hi there. I’m Tim Tanner. I am honored to be here today. I’ve appeared on lots of TV shows with my brother Sam Tanner as the singing twin brothers. People often ask us what it’s like to be twins. Well, I was born ten minutes before Sam so I’m the older brother, although we do have a real older brother, Ken, who’s a year older than us. We were born premature — we suddenly appeared in October rather than January. Ken’s birthday is in December, so we’re pretty close in age.
Sam and I aren’t completely the same, but even our dad makes mistakes sometimes, because there’s hardly any difference in our hair, and we’re the same build. But as soon as we open our mouths, he’ll know which one it is.
In character we’re mostly similar — we’ve both always loved music, and we’ve always had a real interest in going out. However, people that know us say I’m not as confident as Sam is, which is probably true.
We are going to promote our new album Time Dance next week, which is quite different from our first one Soul Brothers. We’ve poured our hearts into it, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support.

M: Yes, I’m ready.
W: Great! To begin, could you share a bit about your background I think our readers would be very interested.

W: That sounds impressive! What motivated you to go into architecture Does anyone in your family work in this industry

M: The most notable achievement has definitely been building a landmark that has become part of the city’s identity.
W: Lastly, what do you think is most essential for an architect
M: Keeping up with trends of technology. Also, staying curious and networking are important.
W: Thank you so much for your time. I’ll make sure to include your insights in my article.

W: I’m looking at his schedule and he happens to be available that day.
M: That is really lucky! Would prices be comparable
W: We charge the same rates.

Unlike clinical(临床) medicine, social medicine studies diseases from a sociological point of view. It mainly focuses on the effects and patterns of various social factors on different diseases, which are not simply biological phenomena caused by bacteria , viruses, and other such factors. By understanding these effects, social medicine aims to improve public health, helping people lead healthier lives.
It may sound like it’s just about studying the relationship between stress and mental health, but it’s more than that. For example, there is a course called Epidemiology(流行病) and Health Statistics. In this course, I studied the risk factors of breast cancer. I got clinical data from hospitals and studied various factors affecting breast cancer, such as environmental risks, government support, regional economic and educational levels, and the allocation of health resources.
The courses in social medicine involve two parts, one related to sociology and the other to medicine. For the sociology part, you will study topics including social medicine, health promotion and social science research methods. For the medicine part, there are courses such as anatomy and pathology. You will also have the chance to do an internship (实习) in hospitals.
41. What is probably the writer
A. A sociologist. B. A college student.
C. A student advisor. D. A university professor.
42. What do we know about social medicine from the passage
A. It is a combination of anatomy and pathology.
B. Students majoring in it learn very little of medicine.
C. It aims to improve public health as well cure diseases.
D. Education of social medicine includes medicine and sociology.
43. From which section of the newspaper is the passage probably taken
A. Agony Aunt. B. Science Study.
C. College Tips. D. Modern Medicine.
B
Cai Lei, former vice-president of JD Group, reveals how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis(诊断) set him on the path to find a cure.
Born to a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “one has to fight for himself”. Since primary school, he has been getting up before 5 am to run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke Co. In 2011, he joined JD Group, where he led his team to develop the first electronic invoice(发票) in China. Wherever he worked, he always tried his best to create new value.
Diagnosed with ALS in 2019, he would have only two to five years to live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death of motor neurons, which makes normally easy movements like drinking water, eating, going to the bathroom, and speaking impossible. Finally, patients will completely rely on machines and others’ help to survive. So far, only two medicines are available to treat ALS, but they can at most extend patients’ life for several months without improving their living quality.
To develop effective drugs is the only way to save ALS patients. However, the intense effort required, which is unprofitable for so rare an illness, makes it a mission almost impossible. It usually takes 10-15 years to complete the research cycle for a new drug and the cost is $1 – 3 billion. Take Alzheimer’s disease for example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment(投资) in new drugs for this more common disease was over $600 billion, and 99.6% of the research on more than 300 drugs failed.
Cai decided to take matters into his own hands. He started his own medical technology company, built his own research team, and volunteered to try more than 30 new medicines which all failed. However, he has decided that even if all efforts prove fruitless, he will continue. To shoot the last bullet, he has decided to donate his brain and spinal cord for scientific research. He will not die for nothing.
44. Which of the followings best describes Cai Lei
Quite responsible and reliable. B. Hard-working and warm-hearted.
Extremely gifted and ambitious. D. Highly motivated and strong-willed.
45.What would probably happen to people diagnosed with ALS
Losing the ability to think and speak normally.
Maintaining a normal life by taking medicines.
Dying within months of a confirmed diagnosis.
Needing external assistance to survive in the end.
46. Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentioned in paragraph 4
To compare Alzheimer’s with ALS.
To prove Alzheimer to be a common disease.
To explain the difficulty of finding a cure for ALS.
To ask for more investment in the research on ALS.
47. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Joint efforts to fight ALS B. A man who never gives in
C. ASL, a rare deadly disease D. Suffering of a man with ALS
C
Chinese hit video game Black Myth: Wukong has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for many players from western countries. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with Chinese phonetics.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the epic by checking out forums, TV shows, anime, manga and online encyclopedias.
Through this process, western players have not only refined their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West.
“Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ‘with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds.
Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
48. What is the Destined One in Paragraph 2
A. The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
B. The fictional main character of this hit game.
C. One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D. One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
49. What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean
A. Get rid of. B. Take control of. C. Keep track of D. Take advantage of.
50. What can be learned about the game from the passage
A. It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B. Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C. It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
D. It is rather challenging for western players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
51. What does the text mainly talk about
A. A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B. Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C. The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.
D. Challenges and benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.
D
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to understand as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a businessperson rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, eventually, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow – AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now – several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI – the technology companies and world leaders – so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation(管理), will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
52. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text
A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C. It is intended for AI professionals. D. It provides step-by-step instructions.
53. What does Campbell strongly recommend people to do about AI development
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from previous experience to slow it down.
54. How does the author introduce AI by Design
A. By comparing it with other similar works.
B. By sharing reviews of experts and readers.
C. By giving examples of dangers posed by AI.
D. By summarizing the main idea and main points.
55. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To honor an outstanding AI expert.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To raise awareness of the risks of AI.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据文章内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Automated (自动化的) kitchens aren’t sci-fi scenes from shows like Star Trek. Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, prepare salads and much more. 56 . More advanced concepts are in development to automated kitchens for fine dining.
The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks, such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. 57 . For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand.
58 . Cooking is a good activity that helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be decreased if the human element becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might suffer without the collaborative kitchen environment.
Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving.
Cultural risks must also be considered. For example, AI could mess up traditional recipes and methods, as it often stereotypes or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes. 59 .
60 , so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring.
A. Convenience can come at a great cost.
B. However, there are risks to human well-being.
C. AI can invent recipes based on what a kitchen has.
D. Additionally, AI helps with interpersonal relationships.
E. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks.
F. Overuse of AI and robots may lead to a rise in unemployment of cooks.
G. Relying too heavily on technology in creation may result in a lack of variety.

I recently went to a Gabriel Iglesias, known by the 61 name Fluffy, show in Evansville, Indiana, with two friends of mine to share a night full of laughs and fun. The jokes kept the crowd ___62___ and engaged. My friends and I had a blast. Afterward, I realized just how good it felt to laugh. If you haven’t been to a comedy show before, this winter is the perfect time to give it 63 .

请阅读下面这篇未完成的文章，按要求完成后面的练习。
After finishing my first marathon, I felt I could conquer(征服)anything. As I rested my aching legs, I read a friend’s article about a 70.3 triathlon she had completed. She described the race as fun. Her story inspired me — should I attempt a triathlon myself
I liked running, but cycling and swimming weren’t my strengths I had always categorized the triathlon as one of those things I’ll never do. However, encouraged by my marathon success, I found a 70.3 triathlon and registered.
I told my coach that my goal was to finish the race within 7 hours. She thought I might make it if I followed a training plan. Training, however, was tough. Every day, I had a big workout that left me exhausted. Many times I considered quitting. But I wanted to push myself and try something challenging. So I persevered with the training plan.
Finally, the race day arrived. I stood on the beach in the early morning. Three triathlon races were being held that day, and I had signed up for the longest — the 70.3 triathlon: a 1.2- mile swim, a 56- mile bike ride, and a 13.1- mile run.
People around me wore fancy triathlon suits and waterproof watches. “Are you doing the 70.3 triathlon ” I asked. To my surprise, they were all competing in the shorter races. I started panicking Everyone looked younger and fitter than I was.
I walked through the crowds until I found another 70.3 competitor —a strong man who was young enough to be my son. My anxiety increased, and I was consumed with doubt as to whether I could even complete the race.
I heard thunder as rain started hitting the beach, hoping the race would get canceled. But an announcer declared the weather was improving and the race would soon begin. With no choice but to proceed, I made my way to the starting line. As I swam, I repeated to myself, “Don’t drown.” I was behind a woman who seemed to be going the same speed, so I followed her lead. Eventually, I was out of the water.
The rain stopped, and the swim was over. My day was looking up. Cheerfully, I started the bike ride.
Paragraph 1:
Unfortunately, minutes later, it was pouring again with strong winds. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I quickly put on dry socks, shoes, and the outfit before starting the 13.1- mile run. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
