A teenager has realized her dream of becoming a model — just three years after a car accident left her with a broken back.
Marita Davies, was in a wheelchair for a year and had to learn to walk after she suffered terrible injures. She feared her dream of a modeling career was over but just three years on, she is now in the running to be crowned (加冕) Miss Great Britain. She said, “I was shocked when I learned how serious my injuries were. I thought my dream of becoming a model was over. My leg was seriously injured and my back was broken. The accident had broken my confidence.”
But when she finally came out of the wheelchair and she turned a corner. Marita decided she would still try to follow her dream, and sent her photos off to some modeling agencies. She did a few unpaid jobs while studying at college, and soon, paid commercial modeling jobs started coming in. Marita was a bit doubtful at first, because the accident has left her with huge scars on her leg and back. She was worried people wouldn’t want her to model for them, but it didn’t stop her.
She has done amazingly well to overcome everything, which has been thrown at her in the last three years. Within months of learning to walk again, Marita was signed up for advertising campaigns. She has also appeared in a TV ad. Marita was crowned Miss Nottingham City earlier this year, and is now competing against 59 other girls to be crowned Miss Great Britain.

I highly recommend Antifragile to any student or practitioner of business management, risk management, or anyone with a curious mind and a keen interest in understanding complex human systems. The book delves into various subjects, including education, politics, economics, health, business, science, and risk, providing valuable insights and a deeper understanding of these complex topics.
Antifragile builds on the ideas presented in Nassim Taleb’s earlier books, The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness. In The Black Swan, the focus was on the extreme impact of rare events and the limitations of human predictions and forecasting. Fooled by Randomness emphasizes the role of randomness and luck in life and business outcomes as well as the difficulty of distinguishing between actual skill and luck.
While those books focus on “black swans” — rare and unpredictable events that have a significant impact, Antifragile further discusses the idea of antifragility and offers solutions to identify, build and benefit from antifragility in every aspect of life.
One of the main new topics addressed in Antifragile is that some systems and individuals benefit from stressors and disruptions (干扰) while others are harmed by them. Taleb defines complex systems as systems composed of interconnected and interdependent parts that exhibit nonlinear (非线性) behavior. These systems are characterized by high uncertainty, volatility (波动性), and non-predictability and are often difficult to understand and control.
Besides, Taleb defines complexity as the property of a system that makes it hard to predict its behaviour or outcomes based on knowledge of its parts. He argues that complexity emerges from the interactions and relationships between the parts of a system and that it is a fundamental characteristic of many natural and human-made systems, including economies, societies, and ecosystems.
Overall, Antifragile is a thought-provoking and influential work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about resilience and stability.
28. Why does the author highly recommend the book Antifragile
A. It provides practical tips for student and practitioner readers.
B. It concentrates on business and risk management strategies.
C. It offers deep insights into complexity across diverse fields.
D. It simplifies complex topics into understandable summaries.
29. What is the relationship between Antifragile and Taleb’s earlier books
A. It contradicts their ideas. B. It expands on their perspectives.
C. It disputes their concepts. D. It addresses comparable subjects.
30. What is a characteristic of complex systems according to Taleb
A. Stable outcomes. B. Straightforward interactions.
C. Absolute certainty. D. Significant unpredictability.
31. What is the tone of the passage
A. Dismissive. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Enthusiastic.
D
Growing up with a mother who introduced swedes (芜菁甘蓝) to Indian cuisine, Hill-Maini developed an early appreciation for the transformative power of cooking. His culinary (烹饪的) adventures took him to New York City, where, at just 18, he was redesigning menus for Manhattan restaurants. But the call of science beckoned (召唤), leading him through biochemistry at Harvard and eventually to UC Berkeley, where he now combines his passions for cooking and research.
The star of Hill-Maini’s research is N. intermedia, the fungus responsible for oncom — a traditional Indonesian food made from soy pulp leftovers. What makes this fungus extraordinary is its ability to turn indigestible plant waste into nutritious, flavorful food in just 36 hours.
But Hill-Maini and his team didn't stop at soy pulp. They tested N. intermedia on about 30 different agricultural waste products. The results were astonishing — the fungus thrived on almost all of these agricultural waste products, proving its significant role in food recycling.
The science behind this fungal magic is fascinating. N. intermedia belongs to a group called filamentous fungi, which produce enzymes (酶) that break down complex plant materials that human digestive systems struggle with. In doing so, they not only make the waste edible but also increase its protein content and improve its flavor.
One of the most exciting discoveries was the existence of two distinct types of N. intermediate wild types found globally and types that have adapted specifically to human generated agricultural waste. This suggests a fascinating co-evolution between the fungus and human food production practices.
However, would people actually accept it To answer this, Hill-Maini worked with Rasmus Munk, head chef of the Michelin two-star restaurant Alchemist in Copenhagen. They presented red oncom to 60 people who had never encountered it before. “We found that, basically, people who had never tried this food before made positive comments about it,” Hill-Maini said. “The results were pretty good.”
32. What attracts Hill-Maini’s interest in cooking
A. An introduction to Indian food. B. His experiences of redesigning menus.
C. His mother’s influence. D. His research at Harvard.
33. What can N. intermedia do according the text
A. Promote the growth of plants. B. Make food out of useless farm produce.
C. Increase the output of farm products. D. Protect human digestive system.
34. How do people feel about the red oncom after they tried it
A. Satisfied. B. Terrible. C. Uncertain. D. Worried.
35. Which title best summarizes the article
A. Revolutionizing Food through Culinary Art
B. Fungi Turn Farm Waste into Sustainable Food
C. Oncom: Indonesia’s Fermented Soy Tradition
D. Enzyme Breakthroughs in Biochemistry

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there. ____36____
Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. ____37____ Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory.
____38____ Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. However, you may be more likely to remember things that are handwritten rather than typed.
Rehearse your speech for a friend.____39____ It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information. Request that your friend give you some tips. They may be able to tell you if you are not speaking loud enough or if you are talking too quickly.
Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language.____40____
Avoid trying to memorize the speech word for word. Normally, it is not necessary to recite a speech word for word. It is more important to remember all of the topics that you need to cover during the speech. Spend time memorizing the bullet points, important facts and statistics, and the layout of your speech in order to guarantee that you cover all of the information that needs to be covered.
A. Type up the speech.
B. Make a list of things that scare you about the speech.
C. If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times.
D. However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice.
E. It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation.
F. You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information.
G. Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people.

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。
Suzi wanted to go to a beach party. It was going to be the best party of the year, perhaps the best party of her life. But her mom had said no. Suzi was desperate and protested, “But everyone is going.”
“I don’t care who’s going,” replied her mother. “Even if the Queen of England were going, you are still not going.”
Suzi was disappointed and even heartbroken. Sunday dinner came around and Suzi's grandmother joined the family for the meal, as she nearly always did on Sunday. Gran noticed how unhappy Suzi had been looking during the meal but didn’t say a thing. It was Suzi's turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you,” while the rest of the family shifted into the living room to watch a video.
In the kitchen, Gran knew what had happened and said, “If you were her, what would your objections be ” Suzi hadn’t stopped to think about her mom’s side.
After learning that some adults were going to be there, Gran said to Suzi, “Your mother is concerned and doesn’t want anything to happen to you ” “Nothing will happen,” objected Suzi.
“Maybe you’re right,” said Gran, “but maybe Mom’s worried in case it could. You know, when your mother was your age, we used to negotiate about something. If she was going out somewhere, I would ask what time she wanted me to pick her up. She would always add an hour or two to it, saying maybe eleven or twelve o’clock, thinking I wouldn’t know what she was doing. I’d tell her that was far too late and that I wanted her home by nine. She’d object and we’d both come to a compromise (折中) at ten or ten-thirty, which was around what both of us had been thinking all along.”
“That way, neither of us was the winner or loser; that way, she got to have time out as she wanted and I got to see her home at a reasonable time. By finding a compromise, we both got something, though maybe not completely, of what we wanted.”
注意:
（1）续写词数应为150个左右;
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After hearing Gran’s story, Suzi felt lost in thought.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With Gran’s encouragement, Suzi quietly went to her mom’s room and knocked softly.

【答案】14. C 15. B 16. A 17. C
【原文】M: I can’t believe this. I have been on the phone with my bank all day and they still haven’t fixed my problem!
W: Is it a credit card problem
M: Yes. My credit card information was stolen. When I got my bill in the mail, I saw there were many unfamiliar purchases on it.
W: That’s terrible. Did they take a lot of money
M: Yes, and I am very upset because the bank is not helping me quickly. I have talked to many different managers already.
W: Doesn’t the bank’s owner need to make the decision to give you your money back
M: No. I just have to prove that these purchases were not made by me.
W: I hope you can fix this problem soon. Something similar happened to my husband’s mother recently. She was tricked into giving away some important information over the phone.
M: I think the person who stole my information got it from the Internet. I bought a collection of movies recently. I won’t be doing that again unless the website is sure to be safe. It’s honestly my fault for being careless.
W: You can never be too careful. Well, your problem is inspiring me to look into protecting my account better. I think I can pay my bank more to help me.

A. It feels threatened. B. It is polite. C. It is pleased.
【答案】18. B 19. B 20. A
【原文】W: When all the animals of a species die out, the whole world loses. That creature is gone forever. Many people are worried about this happening to a large number of wild animals. They spend time campaigning to help preserve wildlife. One of the best-known preservationists is Caroline Smith. She is an attractive young woman who works for the National Grand Zoo. Caroline Smith’s vast knowledge of animals makes her a frequent guest on TV talk shows. She has been on the Kyrie Belle Show over forty times. She explains common errors in thinking about wildlife. For example, gorillas aren’t the violent, cruel and rude animals they appear to be. They are really quite shy. Monkeys that smile aren’t as happy as they seem. In fact, a monkey’s ear-to-ear smile means “watch out”. Snakes really help nature by eating harmful insects. So people should try to protect them. Caroline Smith hopes that once people understand animals better, they will do their best to preserve them. How lucky animals are to have a friend like Caroline Smith!

A teenager has realized her dream of becoming a model — just three years after a car accident left her with a broken back.
Marita Davies, was in a wheelchair for a year and had to learn to walk after she suffered terrible injures. She feared her dream of a modeling career was over but just three years on, she is now in the running to be crowned (加冕) Miss Great Britain. She said, “I was shocked when I learned how serious my injuries were. I thought my dream of becoming a model was over. My leg was seriously injured and my back was broken. The accident had broken my confidence.”
But when she finally came out of the wheelchair and she turned a corner. Marita decided she would still try to follow her dream, and sent her photos off to some modeling agencies. She did a few unpaid jobs while studying at college, and soon, paid commercial modeling jobs started coming in. Marita was a bit doubtful at first, because the accident has left her with huge scars on her leg and back. She was worried people wouldn’t want her to model for them, but it didn’t stop her.
She has done amazingly well to overcome everything, which has been thrown at her in the last three years. Within months of learning to walk again, Marita was signed up for advertising campaigns. She has also appeared in a TV ad. Marita was crowned Miss Nottingham City earlier this year, and is now competing against 59 other girls to be crowned Miss Great Britain.

I highly recommend Antifragile to any student or practitioner of business management, risk management, or anyone with a curious mind and a keen interest in understanding complex human systems. The book delves into various subjects, including education, politics, economics, health, business, science, and risk, providing valuable insights and a deeper understanding of these complex topics.
Antifragile builds on the ideas presented in Nassim Taleb’s earlier books, The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness. In The Black Swan, the focus was on the extreme impact of rare events and the limitations of human predictions and forecasting. Fooled by Randomness emphasizes the role of randomness and luck in life and business outcomes as well as the difficulty of distinguishing between actual skill and luck.
While those books focus on “black swans” — rare and unpredictable events that have a significant impact, Antifragile further discusses the idea of antifragility and offers solutions to identify, build and benefit from antifragility in every aspect of life.
One of the main new topics addressed in Antifragile is that some systems and individuals benefit from stressors and disruptions (干扰) while others are harmed by them. Taleb defines complex systems as systems composed of interconnected and interdependent parts that exhibit nonlinear (非线性) behavior. These systems are characterized by high uncertainty, volatility (波动性), and non-predictability and are often difficult to understand and control.
Besides, Taleb defines complexity as the property of a system that makes it hard to predict its behaviour or outcomes based on knowledge of its parts. He argues that complexity emerges from the interactions and relationships between the parts of a system and that it is a fundamental characteristic of many natural and human-made systems, including economies, societies, and ecosystems.
Overall, Antifragile is a thought-provoking and influential work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about resilience and stability.
28. Why does the author highly recommend the book Antifragile
A. It provides practical tips for student and practitioner readers.
B. It concentrates on business and risk management strategies.
C. It offers deep insights into complexity across diverse fields.
D. It simplifies complex topics into understandable summaries.
29. What is the relationship between Antifragile and Taleb’s earlier books
A. It contradicts their ideas. B. It expands on their perspectives.
C. It disputes their concepts. D. It addresses comparable subjects.
30. What is a characteristic of complex systems according to Taleb
A. Stable outcomes. B. Straightforward interactions.
C. Absolute certainty. D. Significant unpredictability.
31. What is the tone of the passage
A. Dismissive. B. Neutral. C. Skeptical. D. Enthusiastic.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. D
D
Growing up with a mother who introduced swedes (芜菁甘蓝) to Indian cuisine, Hill-Maini developed an early appreciation for the transformative power of cooking. His culinary (烹饪的) adventures took him to New York City, where, at just 18, he was redesigning menus for Manhattan restaurants. But the call of science beckoned (召唤), leading him through biochemistry at Harvard and eventually to UC Berkeley, where he now combines his passions for cooking and research.
The star of Hill-Maini’s research is N. intermedia, the fungus responsible for oncom — a traditional Indonesian food made from soy pulp leftovers. What makes this fungus extraordinary is its ability to turn indigestible plant waste into nutritious, flavorful food in just 36 hours.
But Hill-Maini and his team didn't stop at soy pulp. They tested N. intermedia on about 30 different agricultural waste products. The results were astonishing — the fungus thrived on almost all of these agricultural waste products, proving its significant role in food recycling.
The science behind this fungal magic is fascinating. N. intermedia belongs to a group called filamentous fungi, which produce enzymes (酶) that break down complex plant materials that human digestive systems struggle with. In doing so, they not only make the waste edible but also increase its protein content and improve its flavor.
One of the most exciting discoveries was the existence of two distinct types of N. intermediate wild types found globally and types that have adapted specifically to human generated agricultural waste. This suggests a fascinating co-evolution between the fungus and human food production practices.
However, would people actually accept it To answer this, Hill-Maini worked with Rasmus Munk, head chef of the Michelin two-star restaurant Alchemist in Copenhagen. They presented red oncom to 60 people who had never encountered it before. “We found that, basically, people who had never tried this food before made positive comments about it,” Hill-Maini said. “The results were pretty good.”
32. What attracts Hill-Maini’s interest in cooking
A. An introduction to Indian food. B. His experiences of redesigning menus.
C. His mother’s influence. D. His research at Harvard.
33. What can N. intermedia do according the text
A. Promote the growth of plants. B. Make food out of useless farm produce.
C. Increase the output of farm products. D. Protect human digestive system.
34. How do people feel about the red oncom after they tried it
A. Satisfied. B. Terrible. C. Uncertain. D. Worried.
35. Which title best summarizes the article
A. Revolutionizing Food through Culinary Art
B. Fungi Turn Farm Waste into Sustainable Food
C. Oncom: Indonesia’s Fermented Soy Tradition
D. Enzyme Breakthroughs in Biochemistry

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Memorizing a speech in one night is not an easy task, but it’s possible. There are hundreds of different memorization techniques out there. ____36____
Write out the entire speech. Simply take a piece of paper and a pen and write out the entire speech. ____37____ Many people memorize information better when they are actively recording it. Copying the speech on another piece of paper can help to commit that information to memory.
____38____ Much like writing the speech out on paper, typing the speech can also help commit the information to memory through visual learning. Since typing is generally faster than handwriting, you may have more time to type the speech several times in one night. There is no need to print the typed speech each time that you type it. However, you may be more likely to remember things that are handwritten rather than typed.
Rehearse your speech for a friend.____39____ It is important to practice the speech in front of someone to ensure that you really know the information. Request that your friend give you some tips. They may be able to tell you if you are not speaking loud enough or if you are talking too quickly.
Record yourself rehearsing the speech. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, try recording yourself while you rehearse your speech. Video recording is the best because you will be able to watch the recording and critique your speech and body language.____40____
Avoid trying to memorize the speech word for word. Normally, it is not necessary to recite a speech word for word. It is more important to remember all of the topics that you need to cover during the speech. Spend time memorizing the bullet points, important facts and statistics, and the layout of your speech in order to guarantee that you cover all of the information that needs to be covered.
A. Type up the speech.
B. Make a list of things that scare you about the speech.
C. If the speech is relatively short, consider writing it out multiple times.
D. However, the best method is the basic, tried-and-true strategy of repetition and practice.
E. It is important to remember to take care of your body even when you are cramming for a presentation.
F. You can also listen to the recording while you are doing other things to help remember the information.
G. Sometimes you may think that you know your speech well, but you freeze up when you perform it in front of people.

【答案】Dear Black,
I sincerely apologize for submitting an AI-generated essay. Taking a shortcut not only cost me my integrity but also failed your expectations.
You have always emphasized that true learning comes from struggling with ideas, but I didn’t follow your advice, which is disappointing. From now on, I promise to work independently and focus on improving my skills. I will spare no effort to cultivate my creativity and learn to treat AI as an assistant rather than a replacement.
To make up for my mistake, I have rewritten the essay. I do hope you can give me the opportunity to prove my commitment to honest work and regain your trust.

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。
Suzi wanted to go to a beach party. It was going to be the best party of the year, perhaps the best party of her life. But her mom had said no. Suzi was desperate and protested, “But everyone is going.”
“I don’t care who’s going,” replied her mother. “Even if the Queen of England were going, you are still not going.”
Suzi was disappointed and even heartbroken. Sunday dinner came around and Suzi's grandmother joined the family for the meal, as she nearly always did on Sunday. Gran noticed how unhappy Suzi had been looking during the meal but didn’t say a thing. It was Suzi's turn to wash up and Gran said, “Let me help you,” while the rest of the family shifted into the living room to watch a video.
In the kitchen, Gran knew what had happened and said, “If you were her, what would your objections be ” Suzi hadn’t stopped to think about her mom’s side.
After learning that some adults were going to be there, Gran said to Suzi, “Your mother is concerned and doesn’t want anything to happen to you ” “Nothing will happen,” objected Suzi.
“Maybe you’re right,” said Gran, “but maybe Mom’s worried in case it could. You know, when your mother was your age, we used to negotiate about something. If she was going out somewhere, I would ask what time she wanted me to pick her up. She would always add an hour or two to it, saying maybe eleven or twelve o’clock, thinking I wouldn’t know what she was doing. I’d tell her that was far too late and that I wanted her home by nine. She’d object and we’d both come to a compromise (折中) at ten or ten-thirty, which was around what both of us had been thinking all along.”
“That way, neither of us was the winner or loser; that way, she got to have time out as she wanted and I got to see her home at a reasonable time. By finding a compromise, we both got something, though maybe not completely, of what we wanted.”
注意:
（1）续写词数应为150个左右;
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After hearing Gran’s story, Suzi felt lost in thought.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With Gran’s encouragement, Suzi quietly went to her mom’s room and knocked softly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After hearing Gran’s story, Suzi felt lost in thought. She began to understand that her mom’s concern wasn’t just about fun, but about her safety and responsibility. Gran had helped her realize that sometimes the best solutions come from seeing things from both sides. Suzi didn’t want her mom to feel like she needed to constantly monitor her, but she also wanted to show that she could be responsible. Gran, noticing her deep reflection, suggested, “Why don’t you talk to your mom Maybe she’ll listen.”
With Gran’s encouragement, Suzi quietly went to her mom’s room and knocked softly. Her mom looked up, surprised, but smiled when she saw Suzi. “Mom, I really want to go to the party, but I understand you’re worried,” Suzi said. Her mom sighed, her expression softening. “I just want you to be safe,” she replied. They talked about their concerns and reached an agreement: Suzi could go, but she’d check in regularly. As Suzi left her mom’s room, a warm feeling filled her. She knew their bond was stronger than before.
