Mark Levine, a 77-year-old American professor, has spent nearly twenty years living and working in China. On teaching days, he leaves his apartment in Beijing’s Haidian District before sunrise and travels over thirty kilometers to Minzu University’s Fengtai campus. Although he moves slowly, he maintains an active schedule, balancing his work as a teacher, writer, and musician. Levine often explains that these roles help him stay connected to the society he regards as home.
His interest in China began while he was working for a U.S. labor organization dedicated to improving conditions for low-income workers. As a sociologist, he examined how different countries addressed social inequality and was particularly impressed by China’s progress. Later, a job offer from a college in Huai’an convinced him to take a decisive step and begin a new chapter.
He still remembers his first evening in Huai’an, when the streets were crowded with bicycles, a scene that signaled how different his new environment would be. Over the years, he traveled to every provincial-level region in China and delivered lectures at more than eighty universities.
In 2007, Levine moved to Beijing. His small apartment is filled with plants, guitars, books about China, and souvenirs from his travels — items that record the life he has built on his own. Although his family lives far away, he insists that he does not feel lonely, largely because of the friendships he has formed with colleagues, neighbors, and students.
A key moment in his life came when he met Fu Han, a piano teacher who later became his musical partner. Hoping to present a more complete picture of China to the world, they began writing songs together. A spring festival he spent with her family in rural Hubei left him particularly moved and inspired one of his songs about the warmth he experienced there.
In 2016, Levine received Chinese permanent residence, which strengthened his sense of belonging. Today, well known in his neighborhood, he is often greeted by children who call him “Grandpa Santa.”
24. Why did Levine move to China at first
A. To take up a post. B. To further his study.
C. To find a well-paid job. D. To explore a college.
25. How does Levine mainly keep loneliness away while living far from his family
A. By writing songs about home. B. By traveling to various places.
C. By occupying himself in work. D. By building social connections.
26. What does Levine’s cooperation with Fu Han imply
A. It encouraged him to pursue music full time.
B. It pushed him to learn traditional instruments.
C. It helped him become an established performer.
D. It allowed him to share local stories effectively.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. A sociologist’s fight for workers. B. A foreigner’s life rooted in China.
C. A foreign teacher’s route to fame. D. A professor’s music achievements.

On the sidewalks of Toronto, Andrew Meades wages a personal war against a colorful enemy: chewing gum (口香糖). Armed with a steam machine, he works to remove the estimated 719 million sticky wads (软块) polluting the city. For him, it’s a mission, not just a job. Yet what burdens him most is the fact that for every piece he removes, many more take its place the next day, making his task feel endless. This stubborn problem has a simple source: modern gum is essentially candy-coated plastic, made from petroleum-based polymers (石油基聚合物) that never truly disappear.
The gum industry, valued at billions, once seemed ready for change. Over twenty years ago, facing public pressure, big companies like Wrigley began searching for a biodegradable gum. They invested millions, hiring top scientists to invent a new, eco-friendly gum base. A research team, led by chemist Marc Hillmyer, even succeeded in creating a promising new polymer. However, after years of work, the project went quiet. Wrigley eventually stated that launching such a gum was “off the table”. The economic drive to change a hugely profitable product had simply faded away.
Faced with this, Andrew Meades shifted his strategy. Since technology offered no fix, the solution had to be people. His dream now is a public awareness campaign. He imagines cities filled with clear signs and special pink bins for gum, all reminding chewers to “Bin It.” He believes that if consumers start to see gum litter as serious plastic pollution, change will follow. It requires an adjustment in everyone’s attitude.
For now, the fight continues. Gum clean-up remains costly and slow, a constant struggle against a “quick crime”. Yet, Meades hasn’t given up. His true goal is to make both the public and the big gum companies see the sticky black spots on the pavement not as harmless, but as a problem everyone must help solve.
28. What is the trouble Andrew Meades faces in his work
A. The shortage of cleaning equipment. B. The estimation of the pollution level.
C. The continual littering of gum. D. The harmful effects of polymers.
29. What does the underlined phrase “off the table” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Abandoned. B. Negotiated. C. Undervalued. D. Settled.
30. What was the reason for Meades’s strategy change
A. Scientists faced huge public pressure. B. The new polymer wasn’t eco-friendly.
C. Big companies lacked enough funds. D. He couldn’t rely on the gum industry.
31. What is Meades’s current belief about solving gum pollution
A. Changing public attitudes. B. Making anti-littering laws.
C. Bettering clean-up methods. D. Applying a new gum technology.
D
A new study in the journal Scientific Reports finds AI chatbots can imitate famous poets so effectively that they can fool many human readers, and non-experts often can’t reliably distinguish between poems written by William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot or ChatGPT-3.5.
The researchers conducted two experiments: the first asked participants to determine whether a poem was written by a human or AI, and the second assessed the quality of the poems. In both cases, the AI-generated poems either passed as human-written or even outperformed those by human writers. Participants, who were unaware of the true origins of the poems, rated the AI-generated poems higher on average, considering them more inspiring, meaningful, moving, and profound than the human-authored ones.
So, how did this happen Researchers believe the appeal of AI-generated poems lies in their simplicity and clarity. These poems better convey an image, mood, emotion, or theme to non-expert poetry readers. Consequently, participants might have misunderstood the complexity of human poetry as AI incoherence (不连贯性). Understanding human-authored poetry also requires deep and critical thinking. However, modern readers seem unwilling to engage in this kind of mental labor, preferring texts that offer “instant answers,” writes Andrew Dean, a literary scholar at Deakin University in Australia.
Michele Elam, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI, raised a key concern about how AI may shape people’s relationships with art. She argued that the issue isn’t whether AI-generated poetry can match or exceed human authenticity (真实性) but that we might lose sight of how art is connected to our lived experiences. “Literature, including poetry, is meaningful because it provides a way of naming and describing our realities,” Elam wrote in an email, “If we only see selected images and language in our social feeds, it could limit our ability to understand the world, remember the past, and imagine the future.”
32. What can we learn from the two experiments
A. Human poems are more creative than AI-generated poems.
B. Many participants can distinguish AI-generated poems quickly.
C. Only a small number of participants preferred AI-generated poems.
D. AI-generated poems won higher praise than human poems on average.
33. Which of the following is a characteristic of AI-generated poems according to the passage
A. They are full of complex language.
B. They are simple and clear in expression.
C. They are hard to understand for non-experts.
D. They demand a lot of critical thinking from readers.
34. The misunderstanding of human-authored poetry as AI-incoherence by participants may be due to ________.
A. The inherent defects in human-authored poetry.
B. The poor quality of the language used in human-authored poetry.
C. The lack of proper education on appreciating poetry among participants.
D. The participants’ habit of expecting simplicity, as AI-generated poems provided.
35. Which statement will Michele Elam probably agree with
A. AI is revolutionizing the way we appreciate literary works.
B. AI-generated literature has challenged human writers’ abilities.
C. AI-generated art helps enhance our understanding of the world.
D. AI may lead to a disconnection between art and human experiences.

Breaking the Cycle of Anxious Overthinking
Have you ever been trapped in a cycle of anxious thoughts You might imagine the worst, doubt your choices, or think over every little thing. This mental loop (循环) is tiring and often makes things worse instead of solving them. But what if the best way to stop isn’t about changing your thoughts at all
Surprisingly, one simple but effective method is to shift your focus from your mind to your body. ___36___ Instead of fighting with your anxious thoughts, paying attention to physical movement, breath, or things you can feel can break the worry loop when thinking alone can’t.
Here’s why this works. When we overthink, we get stuck in the brain’s usual pattern, which keeps us trapped in cycles about the past and future.

After one difficult day, she went for a run, focusing on her footsteps and the air on her skin. After running, she felt her anxious thoughts lose their power.
___39___ Here are some practical steps: First, move your body. Take a walk, stretch, or dance — anything that turns your attention to physical feelings. Second, use your senses. Feel your feet on the ground, notice different materials, or listen closely to music. Third, breathe with care. Try box breathing: breathe in for four seconds, hold for four, breathe out for four, and hold again for four. Additionally, you can use temperature changes, like holding an ice cube or washing your face with cold water, to ground yourself instantly.
Remember, the next time worry pulls you into overthinking, don’t try to think harder — move your body instead. ___40___
A. In minutes his worry became less strong.
B. Your body can be a powerful tool to quiet your busy mind.
C. How can you put this into practice when overthinking starts
D. The key is to learn to observe your thoughts without judgment.

67. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A week after my family settled in Queens, New York, my mother enrolled me in a local elementary school. As a non-native speaker placed in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I felt lost from the start. The rapid English in the hallways was a blur, and in class, I struggled to form even the simplest sentences, often met with puzzled looks from my peers.
My name, unfamiliar to American ears, became a source of quiet embarrassment. Classmates would hesitate before attempting it, sometimes giggling at their own mispronunciation. Though no harm was meant, each time it happened, I felt a little more invisible.
The tension peaked one Tuesday in the crowded cafeteria. A boy from my class, surrounded by his friends, deliberately twisted my name into a mocking sound. “What kind of name is that ” he asked loudly. When I nervously asked him to repeat himself, the entire table burst into laughter. The heat rushed to my face, and I stared at my tray, fighting back tears. It was a small moment, but it was the last straw.
From then on, I avoided the cafeteria entirely, seeking shelter anywhere quiet. That led me to the school library, a haven of silence and order. It was there I met Anthony, the librarian, whose calm presence and gentle smile made me feel welcome without a word.
I started spending every lunch hour there, tucked into a corner table. Day after day, I watched Anthony. I saw how patiently he helped other students find books, his low, steady voice never rushing them. He’d sometimes catch my eye and give a small, understanding nod, but he never pressured me to speak. It was in that quiet consistency that a fragile sense of safety began to grow. Slowly, the idea that he might actually help me stopped my feeling so terrifying.
One afternoon, I finally gathered the courage to approach him, holding out a book about pirates I couldn’t understand.
