“Last day, team,” Sukie, the director, informed her troops — it was 9:30 on the final morning of the Barchester Literary Festival — “and Abi, darling, could you help collect I. B. Littlejohn, the famous novelist, from the station ”
Abi managed to free her trusty Beetle from the festival carpark and headed for Barchester station. Sadly, there was no sign of Littlejohn, who decided to drive to his event but forgot to tell anyone.
After half an hour spent yawning on the platform, Abi. who had averaged five hours’ sleep a night for the past week, drove back to the Green Room, only to find that the bottled water had run out, and that there were no sandwiches.
Curiously enough, how did Abi, a middle-aged woman with an English and Creative Writing degree from Leicester University, end up in the festival management A love of literature is probably the worst qualification imaginable for the job, but Abi, who had previously worked in consumer PR (Public Relations) arranging in-store appearances, was well-equipped to handle such crises.
But the day wasn’t over yet. The delivery from the bookstore chain was nowhere to be seen and Sukie was absolutely angry. She assigned to Abi the unenviable task of explaining to Littlejohn, now being interviewed in the “media room”, why there were no books available for him to sign.
It was a tough job. Finally Mr. Littlejohn agreed to greet his audience with the assurance that they would get his book, Last Bus to Blackley, signed and delivered home afterwards.
In eight hours, it would all be over. The Green Room would be shut up; the volunteers would be dismissed home and Abi would drive off to her parents’ house and await the reward and maybe, just maybe, Sukie would keep her promise of a similar engagement next month. For now, though, Abi had to keep herself cool and make sure the festival ended on a high note.
4. What was the first problem Abi faced
A. Her car broke down in the carpark. B. No water and sandwiches were available.
C. She only slept for five hours last night. D. The novelist didn’t turn up at the station.
5. What benefited Abi in managing the literary festival
A. Her deep love of literature. B. Her previous working experience.
C. Her professional appearance. D. Her English and Creative Writing degree.
6. What was the consequence of the late arrival of the bookstore delivery
A. Sukie was barely annoyed all her learn. B. Littlejohn’s interview was to be delayed.
C. Abi was probably dismissed from her post. D. Audience didn’t get signed books at the meeting.
7. Which of the following best describes the Barchester Literary Festival
A. Cool and successful. B. Organized but upsetting.
C. Chaotic and eventful. D. Demanding but rewarding.
C
Shannon Baker, a landscape architect at Waterfront Toronto, pauses to point out a red-tailed hawk (鹰) flying over the restored Don River valley — a sight unimaginable eight years ago when this site was a deadly industrial zone. The hawk’s presence symbolizes the success of Canada’s most ambitious urban ecological project: transforming 300 hectares of abandoned factories and oil tanks into a lively ecosystem.
In the 1880s, the Don River was rerouted into the Keating Channel to create land for a new port. For over a century since then, it regularly flooded surrounding areas. Engineers solved this by carving a 1.3-kilometre riverbed reconnecting the waterway to Lake Ontario. The scale of effort to make the new river extension has been enormous: four-plus years of construction; roads lifted or moved and multiple bridges built; 1.4 million cubic metres of polluted soil treated and reused or replaced. Most remarkably, bioengineered “instant forests” were created using interlocking root systems and layered soils to create mature ecosystems.
“For me, the project is about reconnection,” says Baker. “We’re reconnecting the river to the lake, and in this process, reconnecting people.” Perhaps the deepest reconnections are with local Indigenous communities, who settled in the area centuries before the city’s creation. Waterfront Toronto engaged the MinoKamik Collective, an elder-led native environmental consultancy, to help design the planting strategy. “We put in wetland plants to help stabilize the riverbank and draw in animals,” says Shelley Charles, leader of the native elders. “When we met on the land at the start of the project, there was nothing there. It was like an artist’s canvas (画布). Now when you stand in the same place today, you’re able to walk along the river. It’s unbelievable.”
Baker agrees and points out that people visiting the site today for the first time might not appreciate what’s been done. “Because when you look at the river as well as the wetland now, it looks like it’s always been there.”
8. How does the writer introduce the topic
A. By showing data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By giving an appeal. D. By raising an assumption.
9. What is the primary purpose of the new river extension
A. To prevent flooding. B. To attract wildlife. C. To create a new port. D. To build new roads.
10. What is Charles’s attitude towards the project
A. Proud. B. Concerned. C. Unbelieving. D. Indifferent.
11 What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Waterfront: A History Of Toronto
B. Keating Channel: A Nature Restoration Project
C. The River Extension: From Wasteland To Wetland
D. MinoKamik Collective: Between Indigenous And Natives

A few years ago, Casey Harrell was diagnosed with ALS, a brain disease that left him paralyzed (瘫痪) and unable to speak. But thanks to a groundbreaking brain implant, Harrell now “speaks” through an electronic voice device.
This AI-powered brain implant is a milestone for neurotechnology (神经技术). Now, scientists from University of California have developed a streaming approach to restore speech for those with severe paralysis. This new technology addresses the issue of latency — delays between a person’s attempt to speak and sound production — by using AI to almost instantly transform brain signals into speech, marking a significant breakthrough in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI).
The study published in Nature Neuroscience, marks a critical step toward enabling communication for speaking impaired individuals. “Our streaming approach makes it possible for the brain implant to obtain the rapid speech decoding capacity,” says Gopala, Assistant Professor at University of California, Berkeley. The technology uses an algorithm (算法) similar to smart voice assistant to decode neural data and enable real-time voice streaming.
To train their algorithm, researchers had a subject, Ann who couldn’t speak, look at tips on the screen — like “Hey, how are you ” — and then silently attempt to speak that sentence. This provided a mapping between neural activity and intended speech. AI used a pretrained text-to-speech model to reproduce her pre-injury voice.
With the new streaming approach, output can be generated in near real time as the subject attempts to speak, compared to an 8-second delay for a single sentence in the previous BCI studies. This greater speed did not come at the cost of precision. The faster interface delivered the same high level of accuracy as their previous, non-streaming approach. The device can continuously decode speech, allowing for uninterrupted conversation. This latest work lays the groundwork for future advances. The focus remains on building expressivity into output voice to reflect changes in tone or loudness during speech, for example, when someone is excited.
12. What breakthrough did the new technology make in BCI
A. The transformation of brain signals. B. The speed of speech generation.
C. The reduction on the cost of devices. D. The integration of brain and computer.
13. What does the underlined word “impaired” mean in the third paragraph
A. Damaged. B. Improved. C. Untrained. D. Repaired.
14. What can we learn about Ann
A. She was unable to speak at birth. B. She could be heard with the help of AI.
C. She provided a map for neural activity. D. She was required to read out tips on the screen.
15. What future improvement will the research team focus on
A. The speed of decoding. B. The level of accuracy.
C. The fluency of conversation. D. The expression of emotion.

From Code And Arm To Care And Action
In a senior high school, Mr. Hurd’s hands-on workshop was alive-robotic arms clicking and lines of code (代码) flashing on screens. Wilson sat focused at his workstation.
With steady hands, he carefully connected the final wire of the robotic arm with the remoter and uploaded his code. With the remoter, Wilson tried to control the robotic arm beside his desk. Finally, the arm came to life, smoothly picking up a small ball as planned. At the sight of it, Wilson exchanged a high-five with his classmate Peter, who made a successful attempt as well. Around them, students were rewriting the code, adjusting their robotic arms, testing their functions and celebrating their progress. Mr. Hurd wandered between the desks, offering tips and encouragement. When he reached Wilson and Peter, he nodded with a satisfied smile. “Impressive,” he said. Wilson and Peter’s faces lit up at the praise.
Seeing their proud smiles, Mr. Hurd nodded approvingly and said, “You’ve done a remarkable job with your robotic arms, but what can this arm help in real life ”
After school, lost in Mr. Hurd’s question, Wilson unconsciously took a different route home, one he hadn’t adopted for years. As he approached the lake, he froze in disbelief, shocked by what he saw. The once-clear water was now dark and polluted, with bottles and other rubbish piling up along the bank.
He couldn’t believe his eyes. The lake used to shine like silver under the morning sun, and butterflies danced above flowers while families laid out picnic blankets on the grassy banks. Wilson remembered those mornings clearly, especially the one when his grandfather said, “This lake raised us. One day, it’ll be your turn to take care of it.”
Sitting on a rock by the shore, Wilson stared at the rubbish in front of him. “How did something so beautiful end up like this What could I do to help it ” he thought. Then, suddenly, an idea hit him.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The Person I Admire Most
Good morning, everyone!
The person I admire most is Marie Curie the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Although she faced numerous challenges as a female scientist in the early 20th century, she never gave up on her research, which ultimately led to the discovery of radium. What inspires me most is that she devoted her life to science, even when it put her health at risk.
Her perseverance teaches me that success requires both passion and sacrifice. Whenever I feel discouraged, I remember how she persisted despite difficulties, and this gives me strength to pursue my goals.
Thank you!

【47题答案】
【答案】The next morning, Wilson told Peter his thoughts. He described how their robotic arm could help clean the polluted lake. With excitement, Peter quickly grasped the potential. They spent every afternoon in the workshop, where they carefully adjusted the design for cleaning the lake. The arm’s fingers were reshaped to better grasp trash, while new sensors helped identify different types of waste. In the end, their creation was ready for testing.
After a month, they tested their new design near the lake. A small group of curious onlookers gathered as the robotic arm extended over the murky water. With precise movements, it successfully retrieved plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and even a submerged bicycle tire. Local residents cheered. When the arm struggled with a particularly heavy object, Wilson quickly adjusted the pressure settings, demonstrating their invention’s adaptability. As the sun set, casting golden light on the cleaner water, Mr. Hurd proudly announced, “This is what technology can do for our environment.”
