4 AI Tools That Actually Work
These AI tool recommendations come from real, practical use, so you can trust that they’re grounded in what actually works.
Synthesia
Synthesia is a leading AI video generator which allows you to generate realistic digital human videos. It’s ideal for teams and businesses that prioritize speed, professionalism, and brand consistency in their video production workflows. Synthesia offers a free plan that allows users to generate up to 36 minutes of video per year. For more extensive features, paid plans start at $29 per month.
Gamma
Gamma is great for generating presentations. The slides feature impressive designs and include AI-generated images that look consistent and professional. Gamma has a free plan that includes basic image generation and up to 10 slides per presentation. The Plus Plan ( $10/user/ month) unlocks full access.
Suno
Suno is perfect for creating original, royalty-free tracks with just a simple prompt (提示词). You can use Suno to generate background music for social posts, videos, and ads. Suno’s free plan includes 50 daily credits for up to 10 songs a day (personal use only). The $10/month Pro Plan gives you 2,500 credits, commercial rights, faster generation, and the ability to run 10 tasks at once.
Claude
Claude has been the go-to AI assistant for coding for a while now. Other tools are starting to catch up, but it’s fair to say most developers still favor Claude. It also feels collaborative — more like it’s solving the problem with the user, not just spitting out answers. Claude is free to use, with a Pro Plan at $20/ month for more features and usage, and a Max Plan starting at $100/month for higher limits and early access.
21．What limit does Synthesia’s free plan set
A．Content type. B．Generation speed.
C．Annual output time. D．Yearly video count.
22．Which AI tool suits programmers best
A．Synthesia. B．Gamma. C．Suno. D．Claude.
23．What do the four AI tools have in common
A．They offer paid plans.
B．They can be used offline.
C．They generate similar stuff.
D．They are designed for recreation.
The video clip starts with a warning. “If you believe ignorance is bliss (福),” it says, “don’t watch this video.” As an influencer slices fruit on a cutting board, a series of claims descend down the screen — about what she says is actually in peanut butter and vanilla flavoring, among other things.
It’s the kind of post that has become common in the online wellness world, where high-profile voices often express doubts about the establishment. But what makes this influencer unusual is her age. She’s only 17, and a high school junior.
Ava Noe, a teenager based in the Boston area, has amassed more than 25,000 followers. She is just one of a number of young influencers who appeal to other health-conscious kids their age. The teens’ videos, while at times factually questionable, highlight a desire among some to avoid the chronic (慢性) illnesses and other conditions that have long affected their elders.
But the health craze has unnerved medical experts and educators. Teens are sourcing health information from wellness influencers, leading to misinformed or oversimplified views; some even want to become wellness influencers themselves.
Ms. Noe started her own account in 2023, after she was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and began searching for “alternative ways” to heal, she said. “I was just desperate for something.” She descended into a social media rabbit hole and became fascinated by the idea of eating and living “clean.” Today, she likes to use chatbots to ask about the benefits of, say, red light therapy (治疗) , and then read the suggested studies.
Danielle Shine, an accredited dietitian in Australia, urges people to consult qualified professionals for nutritional information, not online posts that lean on “fear” and “sensationalism,” warning that certain content can lead to medical complications and consequences.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, though, can get in the way of typical teenage pursuits. There are times, Ms. Noe acknowledged, when she ends a night with friends early. “I just want to go home, do my red light therapy and go to bed,” she said.
24．What purpose does the opening warning mainly serve
A．To question the video’s credibility. B．To establish guidelines for viewers.
C．To create anticipation for the content. D．To remove the influencer’s responsibility.
25．Which title would Ava Noe most likely use for her video
A．Medical Literature Overview B．Expert Roundtable on Living Clean
C．Why Conventional Wisdom Matters D．What They Don’t Want You to Know
26．What does Danielle Shine suggest people do
A．Post reliable information. B．Get over personal fear.
C．Seek expert consultation. D．Prepare for potential risks.
27．What does Ava Noe’s lifestyle suggest about her
A．Trend-following. B．Self-disciplined. C．Fun-loving D．Eco-aware.
While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think.
In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of — and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster.
“This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors opted for a nondemanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning,” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which zoning out is typically shown to have a negative effect.
But the results are not clear-cut, says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit (隐性) learning to occur, ” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study.
Using EEG (脑电图) recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants’ brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study.
To better understand whether mind wandering might compensate (弥补) for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss.
28．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By setting relatable scenes. B．By defining a new concept.
C．By presenting a research timeline. D．By providing historical background.
29．According to Athen a Demertzi, what may happen if a task becomes more demanding
A．Mind wandering may increase. B．Zoning out may hurt performance.
C．Hidden patterns may be easier to detect. D．Participants may adapt to the task faster.
30．What is Péter Simor doing with his remark in paragraph 5
A．Taking back an earlier claim. B．Ruling out Smallwood’s view.
C．Presenting conclusive evidence. D．Offering a possible interpretation.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Why Our Minds Wander B．How to Stop Mind Wandering
C．The Power of a Wandering Mind D．The Dangers of Mind Wandering
As the wild shrinks, zoos are increasingly being looked to as modern-day arks (方舟): the last shelter against a rising tide of extinction. At the end of the 19th century the Cincinnati Zoo tried — unsuccessfully — to breed (培育) passenger pigeons, whose numbers were in sharp decline. And in the early 20th century, the Bronx Zoo started a program that helped save the wild bison.
But zoos have to support themselves, and the sorts of animals that draw crowds are not necessarily the sorts that most need help. This makes prioritization unavoidable.
“I think it’s a bit of a cop-out to say the public wants to see x, y, or z,” says Onnie Byers, chair of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group. “This allows institutions to avoid making hard choices. Plenty of species need exactly the expertise that zoos can provide. I would love to see a trend toward zoos’ phasing out species that don’t need that care and using the space for species that do.”
Under tight budgets, conservation programs tend to be led by large big-city zoos. But littler zoos are increasingly joining in. The Miller Park Zoo, one of the smallest zoos in the country, is hoping to figure out how to breed an endangered subspecies of squirrel which doesn’t require much space.
Sadly, for every success story like the wild bison, there are dozens of other species hanging on the edge of extinction. The po‘ouli went extinct a year or two after the San Diego Zoo made a last-ditch (最后) effort to save it. When the final bird died, his body was immediately sent to a special room in the zoo. Along with thousands of other identical-looking containers, the tubes of po‘ouli cells represent what might be described as a beyond-the-last ditch conservation effort: the Frozen Zoo.
For now, at least, all but one of the species in deep freeze still have flesh-and-blood members. But it seems safe to predict that in the coming years, more and more will go the way of the po‘ouli. After they die, they will, in a manner of speaking, live on — one last hope, suspended in a frozen cloud.
32．What does the underlined word “cop-out” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．A brave choice. B．A necessary step.
C．A legal obligation. D．A convenient excuse.
33．Which case is presented as a conservation success
A．The wild bison at the Bronx Zoo.
B．The po‘ouli at the San Diego Zoo.
C．The passenger pigeon at the Cincinnati Zoo.
D．The subspecies of squirrel at the Miller Park Zoo.
34．What do we know about the Frozen Zoo
A．It is a nonprofit for animal rights.
B．It is a facility to store animal cells.
C．It is a shelter for cold-climate animals.
D．It is a program to breed endangered animals.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．Zoos’ choices on what to save.
B．Zoos’ role in animal conservation.
C．The history of zoos' conservation work.
D．The reasons why animals end up in zoos.
The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. 36
The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. 37 This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong
In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. 38 Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%.
39 Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.”
40
A．But is that always the case
B．Patience is needed as the system matures.
C．They said the system was not fit for purpose.
D．Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen
E．The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally.
F．So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation
G．Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports.
三、完形填空
It pained me to take down the old sugar maple. The tree was 41 when we moved to the farm 36 years ago, about the age of this farmhouse (we figured 160 years). I know she was here as far back as the 1940s because we have a(n) 42 of her in her younger days, much smaller and not quite 43 over the side yard as she did in her later years.
She was a tree with a 44 . Not straight and narrow, but quirky (奇特), with a 45 that had split into four and branches that spread this way and that, coping with aging as best she could.
But we watched the old maple die 46 . “She’s not doing well,” my husband said. Even the birds were 47 . I saw no Baltimore oriole nest (鸟窝) in her branches as I had the year before. Perhaps the birds knew that 48 a nest to those branches was no longer safe. When it became too dangerous to walk underneath her, professionals were called and she was 49 .
That couldn’t be the 50 , though. People 51 me to turn the old maple into tables, shelves, guitars or bowls. I 52 their advice.
Now, instead of gazing up at the tree, I can 53 her in my hands. The bowls are silky 54 , not rough like her bark; they’re light-colored, not dark. But they are the old maple in a second life and a different form. The birds that once called her home have had to move on, to sing 55 . So must I.

四、语法填空
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。
Labubu, a furry bunny-eared elf sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart, has gone viral this year. Championed by many celebrities, the “ugly-cute” dolls have been so in demand 56 in the UK Pop Mart pulled the grinning monsters from all stores because of the risk of fights breaking out between customers. In the UK they sell for 17.50 ($23.20), while 57 (office) versions in China sell for between 99 and 399 yuan ($13.80-$55.60), with resale prices far 58 (high).
In June, an article in People’s Daily praised Labubu 59 highly original. It represents the shift from “Made in China” to “Created in China”. “Labubu’s rise integrates China's strong manufacturing base with creative innovation, tapping into the emotional needs of global consumers,” 60 article said.
Not 61 (surprising), fake Labubus, also known as Lafufus, are flooding the hidden market. As demand for the collectable furry keyrings 62 (rise), shady dealers are wasting no time 63 (source) imitation versions to sell to eager Labubu hunters. But the Chinese authorities are cracking down on the fakes.
“China is determined 64 (fix) IP (intellectual property) thefts,” said Yaling Jiang, a Chinese consumer trends analyst. In April, customs authorities in the eastern city of Ningbo seized a shipment of 200,000 goods 65 (suspect) of infringing (侵犯) Labubu’s intellectual property, according to state media.

六、书面表达
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。
We walk to the harbor, the early morning sun just beginning to burn pink through the fog. We’ve come to say goodbye.
“Bye, sailboats,” Mom says. My little brother, Ben, waves his fist. “Goodbye, harbor,” Dad says. I remember clouds of seagulls (海鸥) following the fishing boats, hoping to snap up shellfish tossed overboard. “Any last farewells, Marissa ” Dad asks me. I bite my lower lip. Goodbye, home.
When mom and dad announced we were moving, Dad said we were going “home.” He meant out west, where Grandma and Grandpa raised him along with lots of chickens and cattle. “The desert is beautiful in its own way,” Dad said. I tried to smile. But I knew mountains would only stand between me and the rosy sun rising over the ocean. “We’ll find new things to love,” Mom promised. But I knew I’d never love anything as much as waking up to the sound of a seagull’s cry.
After five days of driving across rolling prairie, we see mountaintops on the horizon. On day six, we pull into Grandpa’s dusty driveway. I sigh. Now this is our house, until Mom and Dad can find a new one to buy.
I take the attic (阁楼) bedroom with pink wallpaper covering the ceiling. The night before I go to school, I pull my notebook out from under the bed. I’ve started a list of Old Things I Miss: the salt scent instead of farm stink, seagulls instead of chickens, friends to play with instead of only Ben. I flip the page over, where I’ve started another list: New Things I Love. It’s still blank. That night I dream of seagulls calling, their cries rising and falling with the wind. They sail across the sky, following the fishing boats.
注意：
1.写作词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls.

Exploring Museums: From Requirements to Curiosity
Recently, I surveyed 48 classmates about why they visit museums. The results show that 31 students go mainly for class trips or assignments, 10 out of personal interest, 6 to accompany family or friends, and 1 simply for something different. In short, visits are still largely requirement-driven rather than curiosity-driven.
To spark genuine interest in museums, I suggest that the school redesign coursework to offer more interesting assignments, such as treasure hunts and volunteer hours. The school can also partner with local museums to run hands-on workshops. Finally, it is advisable to launch a student museum club to plan weekend visits and share highlights.
I sincerely hope the school will consider these suggestions to foster students’ internal motivation to explore museums.
67． The next morning, I open my eyes to the ceiling, but I still hear seagulls. I rub my eyes, sit up and listen. Bird calls drift over the fields. Filled with curiosity, I creep down the stairs onto the back porch and squint toward the sky. To my amazement, a silver cloud of wings wheels above the freshly turned soils. I can’t believe my eyes. “Seagulls!” I gulp. But how can that be Thrilled yet confused, I hurry to Dad, who is already working on the farm. “They are desert gulls,” Dad says with a grin.
Dad tells me that these desert seagulls came here 150 years ago. They don’t seem to mind that they don’t belong here. I close my eyes and listen to the gulls who have lived here forever. This place doesn’t feel like home. But I feel a piece of home sneaking up on me anyway. I have something new to put on the list of New Things I Love. Maybe seagulls aren’t new, but desert gulls are new to me. I wonder if a sea girl can learn to be happy here, too. Maybe someday Mom, Dad, Ben, and I will be watching the rosy sunrise and I’ll hear a gull shriek. I’ll say, “Reminds you of home, doesn’t it ” And it won’t matter which home I mean.
