Coco Gauff will never forget the happiness she felt in September 2023 when her backhand winner (制胜球) flew by her opponent at the U. S. Open final to give her, at 19 years old, her first Grand Slam championship. “I’ve never felt anything like that.” Gauff says. This is coming from a person who has bungee jumped off Sky Tower, New Zealand’s tallest building — twice.
Gauff wants to feel that championship high again. “That’s the motivation that drives me,” she says. “I’m sure fame and fortune will come along. But I don’t really care about that. I just care about how many trophies (奖杯) I can get in my house.”
The star failed in January 2024, when she lost in the semi s of the Australian Open. But Gauff’s triumphs have already fulfilled the promise she first showed at 15 in 20 19. Experts expected more titles from her sooner, but Gauff progressed at her own pace.
“Being a Black woman, in a sport that isn’t very diverse, means a lot to me,” she says. Her grandmother, who was the first Black student at her high school in 1961, has shaped her view. After a black man’s murder in 2020, Gauff posted about the injustice on social media and spoke at a protest. “I felt I had to speak out. If you stay silent, you’re supporting the abusers.”
Gauff, who turned 20 in March 2024, told TIME, “It’s crazy to think that I’m not going to be a teenager anymore.” But she knows she’s still early in her journey. “At first, I was scared to grow up, but now I’m embracing adulthood. Change is always needed in this world. I hope I can play a small part.”
4. What is Gauff’s motivation for playing tennis
A. To make a role model. B. To set a world record.
C. To become famous and rich. D. To strive for victory thrill.
5. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. She relied on her grandma. B. She advocated for social justice.
C. She is anxious about growing up. D. She is stressed as a black sportswoman.
6. Gauff can be described as _________.
A. talented and generous B. sociable and innovative
C. ambitious and courageous D. decisive and cooperative
7. What message does the text convey
A. This too shall pass. B. No act of kindness is ever wasted.
C. All is well that ends well. D. Great people write their own stories.
C
Two paralyzed patients have been able to walk short distances and even climb stairs after being implanted with electrodes (电极) in their brains. In a world first, surgeons used a technique called deep brain stimulation to “re-awaken” inactive nerve fibers in the spinal cord and re-establish control of the leg muscles.
The breakthrough came after neuroscientists at the Swiss Federal Technology Institute in Lausanne (EPFL) used AI to map all the neurons in the brain involved in helping rats and mice walk. To their surprise, a region called the lateral hypothalamus — known to be involved in arousal and motivation — was found to have a role in walking. It was so unexpected that the finding was initially questioned by other scientists who peer reviewed the paper for the journal Nature Medicine.
After successful tests in rats and mice, the Swiss team then implanted electrodes in the lateral hypothalamus of the human patients. The technique is carried out while patients are wide awake. Only then can surgeons be sure they have reached the right area in the brain, with the right strength of stimulation.
Professor Jocelyne Bloch, who carried out the operations at Lausanne University Hospital, said: “Once the electrode was in place and we performed the stimulation, the first patient immediately said, ‘I feel my legs’. When we increased the stimulation she said, ‘I feel the urge to walk!’”
Scientists believe the lateral hypothalamus sends signals down nerve fibres that remain undamaged after the spinal injury, which helps engage the remaining nerve connections and improve neurological recovery.”
The two patients did not make a complete recovery from their injury, and were only able to walk slowly over short distances with a stick or “walker”. But the Lausanne tea m has already shown it is possible to restore movement by using implants in the spinal cord. They hope that stimulating both the spine and the brain in future will enhance recovery and help patients walk further and faster.
8. What procedure allowed the patients to regain some mobility
A. Deep brain stimulation. B. Spinal cord recovery.
C. Leg muscles improvement. D. Artificial intelligence mapping.
9. What was the first reaction of other scientists to the discovery
A. Excitement. B. Skepticism. C. Acceptance. D. Indifference.
10. Why is the technique performed while the patient is awake
A. To minimize suigical risks.
B. To speed up the implantation process.
C. To confirm the correct spot and stimulation level.
D. To ensure the patient experiences minimal discomfort.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Artificial limbs are used for recovery
B. Brain part has new roles in movement
C. Regaining the ability to walk requires hi-tech
D. Paralyzed patients walk with brain electrodes
D
“Entire subway absorbed in the small devices held in hand. Some sort of worship ” The tweet by Joyce Carol Oates in 2019, alongside a photo of riders holding mobile phones, as if in prayer, captures how society holds technology sacred. Most people check their phones on waking and before sleeping, replacing an earlier generations’ prayer routine.
“Technology has become religion,” writes Greg Epstein, a “humanist” chaplain (牧师) who works at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in his controversial new book, Tech Agnostic. Believe him
There are plenty of parallels. Both tech and religion have gods, which in Silicon Valley might be legendary leaders such as Jobs or Musk, with devoted followers. Tech firms and religions are also considered as all-powerful and wealthy. Like monasteries, tech companies are secretive and boast unique cultures and rules. Techies can sound as if they are expressing religious principles, too. Google’s original motto — “Don’t be evil” — has biblical tones. Mr. Musk has described his interplanetary ambitions as aiming to “extend the light of consciousness to the stars”.
The first half of Tech Agnostic does an excellent job of exploring how tech companies have persuaded people to faithfully believe in their mission and team. Epstein excels when he applies religious knowledge to tech research, providing unique insights. His observations are fascinating and insightful.
But such insights are rare in the second half of the book. Instead, he recites a long list of familiar worries about technology, blaming it for excessive screen time, unstable gig economy jobs, and heavy monitoring via facial recognition and online ads. For every technology, he has found someone to criticize it exaggeratedly, then slightly softens the criticism (for the sake of fairness), but still lets the point stand.
This is a missed opportunity. Too few have explored tech leaders’ religious beliefs, from AI pioneers’ fascination with Jewish mysticism to Jobs’ Zen Buddhism practice. Meanwhile, Pope (教皇) Francis has held several meetings with AI experts in Rome. At the start of the book, Mr. Epstein asks: “Am I speaking literally Yes.” He is not lying. The book presents an interesting theory but falls short in fully addressing the topic.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To give an explanation. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To support an argument. D. To summarize the information.
13. The underlined word “monasteries” in paragraph 3 probably refers to ________.
A. religious places B. corporate offices
C. educational centers D. government buildings
14. How does Epstein deal with the second half of his book
A. He explores new and unique insights.
B. He focuses on positive aspects of technology.
C. He voices fierce criticism against technology.
D. He repeats common concerns about technology.
15. What does the author think about the book
A. It provides a detailed guide to technology.
B. It has an appealing idea but lacks deep analysis.
C. It offers a balanced view of technology’s impact.
D. It criticizes technology without providing solutions.

47. 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。
One rainy evening, as I was walking home from school, I heard a faint meowing coming from a nearby alley. Curiosity led me to investigate, and there, in a corner, huddle d a tiny, soaking wet kitten. Its eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
I couldn’t just leave it there. I scooped up the little creature and wrapped it in my jacket to keep it warm. When I got home, my parents were surprised to see me with a stray kitten, but they understood my concern and allowed me to keep it for the night.
I dried the kitten with a towel and gave it some milk and a small blanket to sleep on. It purred softly, as if thanking me. That night, as I lay in bed, I thought-about-how the kitten must have been alone and scared in the cold rain.
The next day, I took the kitten to the veterinarian to make sure it was healthy. The doctor said it was just a little undernourished and needed some love and care. I decided to name the kitten Luna.
Over the next few weeks, Luna grew stronger and more playful. She would follow me around the house and curl up on my lap when I was reading. I was determined to find her a forever home.
One sunny weekend, I organized a small adoption event in the neighborhood park. Many people came to see the cute kitten, but no one seemed quite the right fit. Just as I was starting to feel disheartened, a little girl approached with her parents. Her eyes lit up when she saw Luna, and she gently stroked the kitten’s fur.
I could tell from the look on her face that she would give Luna all the love and attention she needed. With a heavy heart but a smile on my face, I handed Luna over to the little girl.
Amazed and thrilled, the little girl hugged Luna tightly in her arms.

Two weeks later, I went to see Luna in the little girl’s home.

【答案】Possible version 1
My View on Off-campus Tutoring for Senior Three Students
As far as I’m concerned, it is totally unnecessary for senior three students to sign up for off-campus tutoring. My reasons are as follows.
Firstly, the school lessons comprehensively include all the crucial points and teachers are readily available for consultation whenever questions arise, so it’s a waste of time and money to attend off-campus tutoring. Secondly, senior three students are burdened with a tight schedule and tremendous pressure, leaving no extra energy for off-campus tutoring. Last but not least, self-study holds great importance as it cultivates independent thinking and problem-solving skills.
In conclusion, there is absolutely no need for senior three students to receive off-campus tutoring.(108w)
Possible version 2
My View on Off-campus Tutoring for Senior Three Students
With college entrance exam approaching, I think off-campus tutoring is of benefit to senior three students.
For one thing, off-campus tutoring can provide targeted assistance. School teachers have to cater to the overall level of the class, thus neglecting individual problems. By contrast, tutorial teachers can offer tailored instructions based on the unique needs of everyone. For another, in tutorial classes, students have more chances to interact with the tutor and receive timely feedback, which helps fulfil their potential and makes the learning process more joyful.
In summary, off-campus tutoring can enhance learning efficiency, so it is advantageous f or senior three students. (102w)

【47题答案】
【答案】Amazed and thrilled, the little girl hugged Luna tightly in her arms. She whispered sweet nothings into the kitten’s ear, and Luna responded with a series of contented purrs. The little girl’s parents smiled warmly at me, expressing their gratitude. They assured me that Luna would be well taken care of and become a beloved member of their family. As they walked away, Luna looked back at me once, her eyes seemingly filled with gratitude and a hint of farewell. I experienced a blend of sadness and happiness, aware that Luna was headed to a home filled with love.（87w）
Two weeks later, I went to see Luna in the little girl’s home. The moment I entered, Luna recognized me and rushed to greet me, jumping into my arms with a joyful meow. The little girl’s home was filled with laughter and warmth, and it was evident that Luna had adapted well to her new environment. She had grown bigger and healthier, her coat shiny and her eyes sparkling with happiness. The little girl shared stories of their adventures together, and I could see the bond between them was strong. It filled my heart with contentment to know that Luna was truly happy and loved.（92w）
