Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
24. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
25. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
26. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
27. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
C
As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers.
“We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human ’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI ’”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.
It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says.
28. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess
A. Ignoring the potential of AI.
B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority.
C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose.
D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency.
29. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Abandoning. B. Stressing.
C. Admitting. D. Assessing.
30. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design
A. Enhancing algorithm complexity.
B. Reducing human dependence on AI.
C. Considering human-AI interaction.
D. Improving AI’s independent capability.
31. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show
A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful.
B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate.
C. No algorithmic support was completely the best.
D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective.
D
In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
32. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D By ensuring agricultural outputs.
33. What can be known about residential areas
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
34. What is the significance of the study
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes

Every day, we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us. However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections. ____36____. In sociology, these are known as our “weak ties”, referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties, like close friends and family members.
____37____. For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities.
“Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties. ____38____.”
Indeed, weak ties can give us a real mental health boost. A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier. ____39____. They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual.
Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties ____40____. Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class.
A. The research involved students
B. You find yourself in a better mood
C. We just need to engage with other people
D. Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think
E. This diverse social network is related with good health and well-being
F. For example, you chat with the guys who regularly serve you at the store
G. Strong ties tend to form closed social groups with limited new information

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。
On the graduation day, there would be a ceremony (典礼), which was to be held in a large church downtown I’d never visited. I chose a simple, black dress that would fit nicely under my robe (礼服). I even put on a bit of makeup for the occasion and I was getting ready. However, I heard about the stairs that I’d have to manage during my graduation accidentally. I decided that I couldn’t handle the pressure of steps. Walking across the stage was going to be scary enough. Thinking of the stairs I’d have to handle during my graduation, I felt depressed. I wasn’t able to climb the stairs without a ramp (斜坡). So I called Sally in tears and told her that I wasn’t going. Sally was a nice person who always helped me since I came to the university because I suffered a cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Hearing my fears, she knew I needed a good cry.
Sally told me she’d take care of everything. My breathing slowed, and I could feel my body again. At this time, I knew I had to sit quietly and let Sally work her plan, whatever that was. She made me promise that I’d be at the church soon.
An hour later, I arrived at the church and saw the stairs on both sides of the stage. I would walk up from one side, shake everyone’s hand, and then walk down the stairs on the other side to leave the stage. It wasn’t just the stairs I worried about; it was the handshake, too. My cerebral palsy gave me limited control over my right hand.
When I found Sally, she rushed over and hugged me. “I had it all worked out,” she said. “It’s going to be fine.” Now, thinking I would make it through, I felt better. However, when the staff started calling graduates up in order, I began to get nervous. My name was about to be called.
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。
Suddenly, I saw a staff member roll out a temporary ramp beside the steps.

I shook their left hands firmly.

Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
24. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
25. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
26. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
27. What lesson can we learn from the story
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D

As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision-makers.
“We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it’s all about ‘Is AI better than the human ’”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI ’”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.
It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions,” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says.
28. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess
A. Ignoring the potential of AI.
B. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority.
C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose.
D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency.
29. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Abandoning. B. Stressing.
C. Admitting. D. Assessing.
30. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design
A. Enhancing algorithm complexity.
B. Reducing human dependence on AI.
C. Considering human-AI interaction.
D. Improving AI’s independent capability.
31. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show
A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful.
B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate.
C. No algorithmic support was completely the best.
D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D

In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
32. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D By ensuring agricultural outputs.
33. What can be known about residential areas
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
34. What is the significance of the study
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes

Every day, we speak to and spend time with the people who mean the most to us. However, think about how many people you interact with in a typical week are the ones you wouldn’t consider as close connections. ____36____. In sociology, these are known as our “weak ties”, referred to as such to differentiate them from our strong ties, like close friends and family members.
____37____. For example, if you spoke about your job hunt to a group of close friends, they might only be aware of the same job opportunities as you because you move in the same circles. However, mentioning it to an acquaintance, like a regular waiter, connects you to people outside your own social circle, which can provide unexpected job opportunities.
“Weak ties can serve special functions not served by close ties, including providing access to unique information and resources,” says Susan Sprecher, distinguished professor at Illinois State University. “Additionally, many people interact with more weak ties throughout a day than they do with close ties. ____38____.”
Indeed, weak ties can give us a real mental health boost. A recent study done by Sprecher indicated people with wider connections of weak ties tend to be happier. ____39____. They reported feeling more happiness and greater feelings of belonging on days when they interacted with more classmates than usual.
Given they have such a strong impact on our lives, why not create weak ties ____40____. Often, this will mean going outside and speaking to people, whether it’s those you pass in the street, who serve you in shops, or with whom you share a class.
A. The research involved students
B. You find yourself in a better mood
C. We just need to engage with other people
D. Weak ties can have a smaller effect than you might think

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。
On the graduation day, there would be a ceremony (典礼), which was to be held in a large church downtown I’d never visited. I chose a simple, black dress that would fit nicely under my robe (礼服). I even put on a bit of makeup for the occasion and I was getting ready. However, I heard about the stairs that I’d have to manage during my graduation accidentally. I decided that I couldn’t handle the pressure of steps. Walking across the stage was going to be scary enough. Thinking of the stairs I’d have to handle during my graduation, I felt depressed. I wasn’t able to climb the stairs without a ramp (斜坡). So I called Sally in tears and told her that I wasn’t going. Sally was a nice person who always helped me since I came to the university because I suffered a cerebral palsy (脑瘫). Hearing my fears, she knew I needed a good cry.
Sally told me she’d take care of everything. My breathing slowed, and I could feel my body again. At this time, I knew I had to sit quietly and let Sally work her plan, whatever that was. She made me promise that I’d be at the church soon.
An hour later, I arrived at the church and saw the stairs on both sides of the stage. I would walk up from one side, shake everyone’s hand, and then walk down the stairs on the other side to leave the stage. It wasn’t just the stairs I worried about; it was the handshake, too. My cerebral palsy gave me limited control over my right hand.
When I found Sally, she rushed over and hugged me. “I had it all worked out,” she said. “It’s going to be fine.” Now, thinking I would make it through, I felt better. However, when the staff started calling graduates up in order, I began to get nervous. My name was about to be called.

I shook their left hands firmly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, I saw a staff member roll out a temporary ramp beside the steps. My throat tightened with gratitude. Sally guided me forward, her voice steady and soft. “I’ll be right beside you.” Sally stepped forward with me—not just as moral support, but physically guiding my steps. I walked step by step, my black dress swaying under the robe. Then, as I reached the stage, the teachers extended their left hands instead of their right hands—a small, deliberate adjustment Sally must have arranged.
I shook their left hands firmly. After the handshake, I slowly made my way down the ramp on the other side, and there stood my friend Sally. I hugged her, feeling an overwhelming wave of support lifting me. The audience’s applause filled the church, and I knew I had overcome a huge hurdle, thanks to Sally. At that moment, I felt relieved that the day I feared turned into one of the best days of my life. I am not sure if Sally realizes the gift she gave me that day, but I’ll be forever grateful to her.
