I believe dancing is in my nature, driven by my heartbeat, blood pulse, and the music in my mind. So I dance daily. The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock -and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation.
Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I m even planning a three month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse myself in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me.
Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance ” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.
A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango At your age You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”

B. Dancing makes her younger.
C. Aging should be faced actively.
D. New challenges bring true happiness.
27. What can be the best title for the text

Alejandro Otero was out of town on vacation last month when his son called from their house in Florida, telling him something incredible. His son, 19, was home alone when hearing a loud crash from inside the house, unsure how to tell him what happened, as it was unlike anything he had seen.
After rushing back home, Otero had to check security cameras to understand what happened. It seemed like something fell through the house, causing it to shake violently. Otero called the police department. An officer pulled the object from the floor. The object was cylindrical (圆柱形的), with one end melted and the other smooth. Otero posted some images and video online, and eventually recognized it as a battery pallet (托盘) from the International Space Station that NASA had released for uncontrolled reentry.
The incident raised concerns about space debris (残骸) and its damage. The cylindrical object can easily pass through walls or injure anyone in its path. If Otero’s son had been in the direct impact zone, the consequences might have been serious. Otero’s homeowner estimated the damage at over $ 15,000. This figure, however, only accounts for a single household; space debris may damage entire neighborhoods or public buildings.
Otero’s homeowner is in the process of filing a claim with NASA, which includes both insured and uninsured damages. Space law expert Mark Sundahl explained that determining its duty can be complicated. The debris is from a US module, so it becomes a domestic legal issue. Sundahl notes that while space debris reentries are common, confirmed cases of damage on land are rare. The International Space Station, nearing the end of its life, is also a subject of a “deorbit” plan.
Otero hopes no one else has to experience such a shock. He is grateful that no one was physically hurt and hopes lessons can be learned to prevent future incidents.
28. How did Otero’s son feel when the incident took place
A. Curious. B. Hesitant.
C. Disappointed. D. Astonished.
29. Why did Otero post some images and video online
A. To get in touch with NASA.
B. To repair the damaged house.
C. To identify the fallen object.
D. To share the special experience.
30. What is the main concern raised by the incident
A. The cost of repairing the damage.
B. The complexity of legal procedures.
C. The frequency of space debris reentries.
D. The potential danger of space debris to us.
31. What does Sundahl think of the incident
A. It’s really frightening.
B. It’s common in the USA.
C. It’s a small probability.
D. It’s a huge threat to people.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. C
D
Wild African elephants have the rare ability to address each other with name-like calls, according to a new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. This discovery was made by researchers from Colorado State University (CSU), who used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contain a name-like component that identifies the intended recipient.
The researchers played back recorded calls to some elephants and found that the animals reacted favorably to the calls addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. The behaviors had been suspected based on previous observations, but the new study provided concrete evidence.
Lead author Michael Pardo explained that while dolphins and parrots call each other by “name” through imitation (模仿) of the addressee’s signature call, elephants do not rely on imitation. Instead, their method is more similar to how human names function, suggesting a capacity for abstract thought.
Co-author George Wittemyer emphasized the significance of arbitrary (任意的) vocal labels, which indicate advanced cognitive skills. Arbitrary communication, where a sound represents an idea without imitating it, greatly expands communication capability. This ability is uncommon among animals but is necessary for identifying individuals by name.
The study spanned four years and included 14 months of intensive fieldwork in Kenya. The researchers followed elephants in vehicles, recording their vocalizations. They captured about 470 distinct calls in Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park. The research revealed that elephants, like humans, do not always address each other by name in conversation. Naming was more common over long distances or when adults were talking to calves.
Wittemyer noted that the study provides insight into possible drivers of why humans evolved these abilities. The research also strengthens the case for elephant conservation, as elephants are classified as endangered due to poaching (偷猎) for their ivory tusks and habitat loss from development. Understanding their communication could help reduce conflicts with humans, making it easier to coexist with these large and sometimes destructive animals.
32. How did the elephants deal with the recorded calls
A. They stayed away from them.
B. They ignored them purposely.
C. They imitated them like human.
D. They responded to them positively.
33. What can we know about the elephants’ name-like calls
A. They are common in the wild.
B. They sound like human names.
C. They are the same to those of dolphins.
D. They show the elephants’ thinking ability.
34. Which of the following can best describe the process of the study
A. Efficient. B. Interesting.
C. Tough. D. Unreliable.
35. What can the study contribute to
A. Developing habitats. B. Protecting elephants.
C. Stopping poaching. D. Classifying danger.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B

Additionally, AI can tackle dangerous or monotonous tasks, such as disaster response or repetitive manufacturing jobs enhancing safety and efficiency.
____38____. One major concern is the potential for job displacement, particularly in sectors where tasks are highly repetitive or data-driven. Besides, AI systems can continue errors present in their training data, leading to unfair results. ____39____, as AI systems often require large amounts of personal data to function effectively. Ensuring data security and protecting individual privacy are critical challenges that need to be addressed.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There is a popular Chinese proverb that often leads to two different arguments. The proverb is ____56____ (literal) translated as “to read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.” The saying ____57____ (quote) for the first time in Notes from the Painting-Meditation Studio ____58____ (write) by Dong Qichang, a famous painter, calligrapher and politician in the late years of the Ming Dynasty.
Dong’s saying was urging people ____59____ (study) more and gain knowledge, then put ____60____ they learned into practice while further broadening their horizons. He thought this was the ideal philosophy of Chinese scholars.
However, later on, some people twisted Dong’s saying into “to travel ten thousand miles beats reading ten thousand books”. ____61____ latter version obviously emphasizes that experience is more important and meaningful than what one can learn from books.
The two arguments, no matter how you understand them, both compare reading ____62____ traveling. But this is not a unique Chinese idea. Westerners have had similar reflections. For instance, a western ____63____ (special), once said: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” An American investment banker wrote in his book, “I am a ____64____ (passion) traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.”
All these sayings and quotations seem to agree on one point: By seeing new ____65____ (place) and meeting new people, travel can be as enlightening and attractive as reading books.

David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain.
After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed.
One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David s potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him.
“Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.”
Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder., He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.”
With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process.

1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next school year brought another writing competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice. He wrote essays, short stories, and even poetry, constantly pushing himself to improve. Slowly but surely, his confidence grew, and he began to enjoy writing again. He found that the more he wrote, the more ideas flowed through his mind. Each word he put on paper felt like a small victory, and he started to see his writing in a new light. He realized that the joy of writing wasn’t just in winning competitions, but in the process of creation itself.
The next school year brought another writing competition. This time, David was determined to give it his best shot. He submitted an essay that he had worked on for weeks, feeling more prepared and hopeful than ever before. When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation. To his delight, his name was called as one of the winners. He couldn’t believe it — he had done it! All the hard work and perseverance had paid off. David knew that this victory was not just his own; it was evidence for the power of believing in oneself and never giving up.
