In a generation dominated by digital screens and fast-paced content, the simple act of picking up a book is losing its essence. Fortunately, two Indian college students, Heet Doshi,20, and Om Thakkar, 19, both book enthusiasts who found themselves struggling to find like-minded people, decided to create a space where people could connect, share ideas, and form bonds over their love for books.
Thus, “Your Reading Circle” was born in September 2023, a space for passionate readers to gather and share books and stories. Then in early 2024, the co-founders came across the concept of mini-libraries in Perumkulam, a village in Kerala, where three public libraries were set up every few hundred metres to make reading accessible. Inspired by this, they thought of replicating the mode in Ahmedabad to encourage the city’s reading culture further.
However, the journey was not smooth. Initially, they had no idea how to get permission to set up libraries in public parks or where to gather books and find funds. But they were determined to bring the idea to life. Eventually, after dedicating a lot of time and efforts, they installed the first library at Parimal Garden. It was centrally located near colleges, drawing people from all age groups. The success of the first library motivated the two, and soon, more parks across Ahmedabad witnessed the arrival of mini-libraries.
These libraries are free and accessible to all, more than just places to borrow books. They have turned into centers for conversation, learning, and community-building.
The co-founders have noticed that the libraries are playing an important role in promoting the reading culture in parks and gardens. “People who previously spent their time glued to their phones are now picking up books and reading in the parks. I see at least 20 people near the libraries, browsing the books and engaging in discussions,” Heet observes.
The libraries have even caught the attention of people outside Ahmedabad. “Individuals from across India, as well as from places like Australia, Canada, and the US, have reached out to express their appreciation for the initiative,” he adds.
4. What does the underlined word “replicating” mean in paragraph 2
A. Modelling on. B. Depending upon.
C. Researching into. D. Adjusting to.
5. What was a problem facing the co-founders at the start of the mini-libraries
A. They lacked funding for their project.
B. They failed to attract like-minded people.
C. They couldn’t afford a space to store books.
D. They had no experience in organizing events.
6. How have the mini-libraries contributed to the community
A. They have increased the park attendances.
B. They have taken the place of traditional schools.
C. They have transformed phone addicts into book lovers.
D. They have promoted the interaction and bonding among people.
7. Which of the following best describes the impact of the mini-libraries
A. Short-lived. B. Predictable.
C. Far-reaching. D. Unidentifiable.
C
Mention the 1970s and most people will have an opinion. It will be mixed up with memories of strikes and power cuts in London. Go deeper and there were plenty of pubs and in a world where television was limited to three channels, and cinema chains that often changed their programs twice weekly.
Best of all, though, was live music. Every town had its established venue for touring bands but London enjoyed a number of smaller locations that hosted rock, folk or jazz acts several nights a week. Many of these were Irish owned or managed, and part of a tradition where providing live music was part and parcel of running a pub. In fact, there were an awful lot of bands and singers you could see on a regular basis within 25 miles of London. Even better, admission was free in many of the smaller venues.
The concentration of so much of this in such a small geographical area was a comparatively recent development, and can be traced to the impact the 1973 oil price rise had on the record industry.
Against the background of the strikes and power cuts that everyone experienced, would-be rock stars found that touring up and down the UK in a van and staying overnight in hotels suddenly became extremely expensive. It was hardly surprising that bands concentrated on venues closer to home to lower traveling and accommodation costs.
There were other factors at work too. It’s worth remembering that the London of the 1970s was a city with a constantly declining population. There were many empty houses as well as local authority flats that were “hard to let”. And commercial space too, which meant plenty of recording and rehearsing(排练) studios.
Forget the negative comments of the 1970s, the strikes and power cuts. We should celebrate the sounds that came out of the pubs half a century ago as part of our rich musical heritage.
8. What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A. To recall the memories of London.
B. To show the unstable life in London.
C. To introduce the emergence of live music.
D. To reveal the severe situation of people’s life.
9. Why did many bands perform in venues closer to their homes
A. To reach a larger audience.
B. To avoid strikes and power cuts.
C. To take advantage of free admission.
D. To reduce travel and accommodation costs.
10. What contributed to the concentration of live music venues in London
A. The decline in commercial space.
B. The abundance of empty houses.
C. The popularity of television channels.
D. The lack of cheap accommodation.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The rise of London’s live music in the 1970s.
B. The history of the development of London.
C. The contributions London made to music.
D. The views of London in the 1970s.
D
You can talk to an AI chatbot about pretty much anything, from help with daily tasks to the problems you may need to solve. Its answers reflect the human data that taught it how to act like a person; but how human-like are the latest chatbots, really
As people turn to AI chatbots for more of their Internet needs, and the bots get incorporated into more applications from shopping to health care, a team of researchers sought to understand how AI chatbots reproduce human empathy, which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings.
A study led by UC Santa Cruz Professor Magy Seif El-Nasr and Stanford University Researcher Mahnaz Roshanaei, explores how AI chatbots evaluate and perform empathy. To do so, the researchers asked both a group of humans and AI chatbots to read short stories of human positive and negative, and rate their empathy toward each story on a scale of 1 to 5, and compared the responses. The stories came from real human experiences, which were made completely anonymous (匿名的). They also had AI chatbots perform the same rating task after being informed about a set of features including gender, perspective, or similarity of experiences.
Overall, the researchers found that when it comes to offering an emotional response, AI chatbots are overly empathetic, particularly in response to sad stories. “They are very emotional in terms of negative feelings, and they try to be very nice,” Roshanaei said. “But when a person talks about very positive events happening to them, AI chatbots don’t seem to care.” This over-empathizing situation was also present when they are told that the person they were chatting to was a female. “It’s happening because the data comes from humans, and humans have biases toward other humans,” Roshanaei explained.
This acts as a warning that the technology is not quite ready to be used with sensitive populations such as teenagers, or those with mental health conditions. “This shows that even though AI is amazing, it still has a lot of big gaps in comparison to humans,” Roshanaei said.
12. Why did the researchers conduct the study
A. To test the reliability of AI chatbots.
B. To explore the potential of AI chatbots.
C. To figure out how understanding AI chatbots are.
D. To compare the intelligence of AI chatbots and humans.
13. How may AI chatbots most likely respond to an uplifting story
A. Express intense excitement.
B. Call the story’s realness into question.
C. Display minimal emotional engagement.
D. Ask follow-up questions about specific details.
14. What is Roshanaei’s attitude toward current AI technology
A. Critical. B. Objective.
C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Emotional AI Begins to Catch on.
B. AI Chatbots Struggle with Empathy.
C. How AI Chatbots Reform Healthcare.
D. Why AI Chatbots Surpass Humans in Empathy.

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。
I was an only child, and I had never truly understood the devotion my mother made to raise me. It wasn’t until I encountered a baby gorilla (大猩猩) named Afia that my viewpoint began to change.
In 2016, as a zookeeper, I brought Afia home. She had been born by emergency C-section (剖宫产) at Bristol Zoo after her mother, Kera, developed a serious disease that’s harmful to her baby. Kera was too weak to care for Afia, so I took on the responsibility of hand-raising her.
I worked with a family group of western lowland gorillas, a critically endangered species. The zoo’s role was to maintain their ability to survive in the wild by promoting their independence through conservation programs across Europe.
Taking care of Afia was like stepping into a parent’s shoes. I wore an item of clothing to copy a gorilla’s fur, and she learned to follow me wherever I went. She slept on my chest at night, hugged me at unexpected noises, and I helped with her first steps. Teaching Afia basic survival skills was crucial. I showed her how to open bananas and crack nuts with stones, and guided her to climb with ropes. These tasks were exhausting but rewarding.
At night, caring for Afia was also challenging. She often woke up crying, and I had to figure out if she was hungry, scared, or just needed comfort.
One night, she had a stomachache after eating too many grapes. I gently rubbed her stomach and gave her warm water to comfort her. Another time, a thunderstorm frightened her, and I held her closely, rocking her gently until she calmed down. These moments taught me patience and empathy.
Afia gradually became more independent. So we got ready to test her ability to live independently on a certain day. We set up a special area with all the elements of her natural habitat, including climbing trees and finding food.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
And the day finally came.

Afia’s success reminded me of my own mother’s devotion to me.

【答案】
And the day finally came. The special area was ready, filled with climbing trees, hidden nuts, and fresh fruits. As we arrived in the special area, Afia hesitated, hugging my leg with her tiny hands. Gently, I pushed and encouraged her to walk forward, whispering, “You can do this.” Step by step, she went in, cautiously climbing the trees and touching the ropes. When she successfully cracked open a nut using a stone—just as I had taught her, my heart filled with pride. She was no longer the helpless baby I had carried on my chest; she was growing into a strong, independent gorilla.
A fia’s success reminded me of my own mother’s devotion to me. Watching Afia explore confidently, I realized how much patience and love my mother must have showed in raising me-teaching me to walk, comforting my fears, staying up late helping me with homework, and quietly celebrating my small victories. In that moment, standing before Afia’s habitat, I finally understood the depth of a mother’s love—whether human or gorilla. Tears welled up as I whispered, “Thank you, Mom.” I realized Afia’s journey mirrored my own, and that love, in any form, is the greatest teacher of all.
