In 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia.
Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke.
Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co- founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship.
Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech- language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding a safe, comfortable space to connect.
Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination.
The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.”
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The consequences of a stroke. B. The huge aphasia sufferers.
C. The causes of a stroke. D. The symptoms of aphasia.
25. Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group
A. To provides companionship for lonely people.
B. To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers.
C. To work on a medical cure for aphasia.
D. To answer the call of MIT.
26. According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group
A. It offers them financial assistance.
B. It helps them regain their speech completely.
C. It creates a caring community for them.
D. It conducts extensive research on their conditions.
27. Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story
A. Turn lemons into lemonade. B. Let nature take its course.
C. As you sow, so shall you reap. D. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
C
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological (心理的) preferences in how people view the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 types, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training.
Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world — for example, how well people of a certain type will perform in a given job.
Merve Emre, a professor from Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people.
Scoring and understanding the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and understood might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is totally reliable enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts.
28. What do we know about the MBTI from the first paragraph
A. It is divided into 16 types. B. It is a personality-testing tool.
C. It is a study of personal preference. D. It is a questionnaire on four-letter codes.
29. Why does the MBTI invite criticism
A. It requires people to retake the test. B. It performs badly in given jobs.
C. It does not work in the real world. D. Its reliability has been questioned.
30 What does Merve Emre think of the MBTI
A. It helps in self-exploration. B. It is less fun than other tests.
C. It is almost out of tune with facts. D. It shapes people into certain types.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. How Can We Use the MBTI B. Is the MBTI Totally Meaningless
C. Why do We Criticize the MBTI D. Is Scoring the MBTI Really Necessary
D
A remarkable discovery has changed the way scientists think about the history of cancer treatment. While many people think of cancer as a disease that affects only modern-day humans, cancer has been around for thousands of years and new research shows that humans have also tried to manage it for thousands of years. The study of two ancient Egyptian skulls (颅骨) held at the University of Cambridge in England has suggested that ancient Egyptians may have performed surgery to manage cancer.
Professor Edgard Camaros from the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain and his team were shocked when they found cut marks and evidence of cancer in the skulls of two ancient Egyptians dating back up to 4000 years old. While Egyptians are well known for having excellent medical knowledge and treating a range of diseases, they had never been known for treating cancer.
The skulls had already been studied in 1963 by other scientists, however, the technology at that time wasn't advanced enough to pick up the cut marks of operation found on the skulls, Professor Edgard Camaros said. It was thanks to a HIROZ Digital Microscope HR-2016 that scientists spotted surgical cut marks around two cancer lesions (病变).
One limitation regarding cancer is that there are too few cancer cases on ancient human remains. The study of disease found in animal and human remains aims to find out as much as possible about diseases in the past to help our understanding of diseases now.
Our discipline is limited by the samples we work with, which depends on the funeral culture of some people as well as the environment in which they were preserved. Egypt is a great place thanks to its advanced funerary (埋葬的) practices and the dry weather which preserves remains better.
32. How did Professor Edgard and his team feel when they found the cut marks
A. Overjoyed. B. Confused. C. Surprised. D. Disappointed.
33. Why did scientists fail to find the cut marks in 1963
A. They were too careless. B. They lacked advanced technology.
C. They were in such a rush. D. They had little relative knowledge.
34. What makes Egypt a great place for preservation according to the last paragraph
A. Its population. B. Its economy. C. Its scenery. D. Its climate.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Cancer Has Been Around for Thousands of Years
B. Ancient Egyptians Had Found a Cure for Cancer
C. Scientists Assumed Causes for Marks on Ancient Skulls
D. Animal and Human Remains Are Well Preserved in Egypt

How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview
Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___36___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives.
Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. ___37___ Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.
Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone.
___38___ You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question.
Connect the dots. ___39___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer.
Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___40___
A. Spot the difference.
B. Ask detailed questions.
C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time.
E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science.
F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own.
G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience.

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。
“A nursing home would be safer, Dad,” Arlyn told her father, Jim.
“No way,” Jim interrupted. His wife passed away just a year before. At 91, he still wanted to remain in the cottage he and his wife had built.
Jim started experiencing an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease. Arlyn found his decline was indeed all-consuming. However, she herself was in her late sixties; her house was a 40-minute drive from the cottage. One day, when she read about a new eldercare service called Care. coach, it fueled her interest. For about $200 a month, a computerized avatar (头像) (controlled remotely by a human caregiver) would watch over a home-bound person 24 hours a day. She signed up immediately.
A week later, a tablet arrived. Following the instructions, Arlyn uploaded dozens of family pictures. Then an animated dog appeared on the screen. She presented the tablet to Jim, pointing to the screen pet, and said excitedly, “Here Dad. You have a new companion.” Jim, doubtful about the dog’s service, knew he had to learn how to get along with the dog before Alzheimer’s took hold.
Within a week, Jim and his dog, whom he named Pony, settled into a routine. Every 15 minutes or so, Pony would look for Jim calling his name if he was out of view. Sometimes Jim would “pet” to awake the sleeping Pony on screen. Pony reminded Jim which caretaker would be visiting to do the tasks: preparing meals, driving him to a senior center, etc. Pony would read poetry aloud or discuss the news. When Pony praised Jim’s sweater, Jim repaid by petting Pony’s screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head. One evening when Arlyn came to visit her father as usual, she was amazed to find that Pony was holding up a photo of her late mum to her dad between its paws.
注意：
1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief.

【67题答案】
【答案】 Jim stared at the photo fondly, with tears welling up in his eyes. Memories flashed through Jim’s mind. It had been more than a year since his wife’s death and hardly had he mentioned her anymore. That day, though, he gazed at the photo affectionately and declared emotionally, “I still love her”. Sensing Jim’s sadness, Pony sent hearts to Jim on the screen and comforted him. Uplifted by Pony’s loving remarks, Jim petted Pony’ screen with his finger sending hearts floating up from the dog’s head again. Pony responded with its tail wagging cheerfully. Arlyn sat in silence, with an illusion of slipping back to the old happy days.
Seeing the close bond between Pony and her dad, Arlyn felt a relief. She was amazed at Pony’s heart-warming service and her dad’s fondness for Pony. Pony was more than just a virtual companion; rather, he had become a member of the family, a loyal friend who had helped them through the tough times. With time going by, Arlyn noticed the improvement in her father’s cognitive ability and mood, and he got more engaged in conversations. Arlyn was grateful to Pony. Knowing that Pony was not a substitute for human interaction, she resolved to cherish every moment with her dad, for the presence of loved ones was crucial.
