Last July 26, around 11 p.m., Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on her social media — Lost & Found Pets of Spring Branch & Spring Valley — caught her eye. A tiny black puppy (小狗) had been seen rushing across a road in Spring Branch, the Houston neighborhood where she lives, and whimpers (呜咽) from a nearby storm drain (排水沟) made it clear that the puppy was likely trapped inside, afraid and helpless.
Clemens jumped out of bed at once and drove to the scene. When she arrived, she heard desperate howls and whimpers coming from deep underground through the storm drain. She took her son’s toy flashlight from her car, carefully pulled the heavy metal grate, and climbed down to search. This was not her first rescue. As a keen animal lover and mom of 7-year-old twin boys, Clemens runs both the social media and Paws Off The Streets, a non-profit program that helps animals in need. Over the past nine years, she has saved at least 100 animals in danger.
Clemens didn’t find the puppy she had heard underground, but she was determined not to give up. Although going down a dark storm drain is frightening, Clemens said, “I could never accept leaving an animal there to starve and suffer.” After going home for a few hours of short sleep, she then went straight back to the drain again, with several volunteers joining her, including a local engineer who drew a detailed map of the drain system to help their search.
After several hours of patient searching, they finally found the tiny black puppy. “We were very excited,” Clemens said, adding that the puppy weighed about 5 pounds and had parasites (寄生虫) and ringworm. The puppy was taken to a city animal shelter for treatment and later found a warm home. Tena Lundquist Faust of Houston PetSet was not surprised by Clemens’s determination and said, “Once she focuses on a rescue, she will never stop. She is really a hero.”
24. What drew Clemens’s attention at around 11 p.m. on July 26
A．A phone call about a lost puppy.
B．A message on her social media.
C．Whimpers from a nearby storm drain.

C．She rescued puppies and cats, but no others.
D．She gave up searching for the puppy at first.

The Internet is full of such tips that say some mushrooms have magical effect on health. A kind of fungi called “adaptogenic” (helping the body deal with stress) and “nootropic” (improving cognitive function) is popular now online. A market research firm reports that mentions of mushrooms have risen on major social platforms in the past two years, and that the Internet searches for “mushroom coffee” have risen by 1,000% since 2022.
Products are popping up to meet the demand. Supermarkets sell mushroom chocolates and sweets, while many brands add mushrooms to relaxing drinks or offer related drinks and fruit juices. Some companies provide multi-flavor mushroom powder, and mushroom chocolate makers suggest eating a piece before bed can be good for better sleep or more emotional health. These products are especially popular with health-conscious young people, who are eager to try food that boosts energy or immunity (免疫力).
Yet these food-labelled products have little regulation on their so-called medicinal ingredients (成分), and scientists hold a practical view on their benefits. Nicholas Money, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, says there is no medicinal proof that mushroom drinks work as advertised for humans. For example, mushrooms may help nerve cell growth in lab tests and mouse healing, but this does not prove it improves human brain power. He also added that drug companies would invest heavily if there were real evidence.
In short, these mushrooms are better enjoyed as food — like mushrooms in Asian soups, which tastes delicious. Remember never to pick wild mushrooms yourself, or you may mistake poisonous ones for the supposed healthy kind.
28. What can we know from the first paragraph
A．All mushrooms boost brain power.
B．The Internet searches of mushrooms have risen since 2022.
C．The Internet mentions of mushrooms have decreased.
D．Mushrooms have no health benefits.
29. What can we infer from what Nicholas Money says
A．Current mushroom products are overpriced.
B．Drug research is unreliable.
C．The scientific proof about mushroom drinks is lacking.
D．Mushrooms are already used in medicine.
30. What advice is given regarding wild mushrooms
A．Considering their commercial values.
B．Pick them to improve sleep and mood.
C．Use them as medicine or treatment.
D．Avoid picking poisonous ones.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Magical Mushrooms: Food or Medicine
B．How to Use Mushrooms to Keep Healthy
C．The Popularity of Mushroom Coffee.
D．Different Kinds of Eatable Mushrooms.
D
Bosses are increasingly cutting jobs while boasting about their AI initiatives. Last month, a computer company announced 5,000 job cuts in three years as the firm integrates AI into all its work, and the head of a Dutch bank announced major lay-offs the same day, saying the bank is using AI to boost client services and cut costs.
Up to now, there is little proof that AI is greatly changing the labour market, but this may change with its wider use. Many researchers have tried to find out which jobs are most in danger.
Computer programming is the first field affected. A survey from an online forum shows about two-thirds of programmers use AI tools at least weekly. A well-known tech company’s coding tool has 26 million global users, and an AI model developer says one-third of the questions to its chatbot are about programming. Customer service is the second. A research finds 85% of customer service managers plan to try AI this year. Big companies in different industries are applying AI to their customer service work. Investment companies also support AI start-ups for this field.
What connects these two jobs Let’s start with their work nature. Both include a lot of repetitive tasks. And the tasks of programmers and customer service agents are usually “context-light” — they don’t need a deep understanding of the company to do the work. These tasks are also “easily verifiable”: Programmers can test code (代码) to make sure it works, and supervisors can check if customers’ problems are solved and how satisfied they are after communication.
Another reason AI thrives in these two fields is the large amount of data for training AI models. The coding tool mentioned earlier has a huge code library to learn from, and customer service departments have years of conversation records. Besides, both fields are big targets for AI companies, which drives more investment in customized AI software.
With AI costs falling and its application expanding, more white-collar roles stand to be impacted by this technological shift in the time ahead.
32. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A．Two specific fields affected by AI.
B．Ways to improve AI for programming.
C．Reasons for AI’s popularity.
D．Data about AI development in industries.
33. What is one key feature of the tasks in programming and customer service
A．Requiring deep company knowledge.
B．Being hard to check the results.
C．Having repeated work content.
D．Needing creative thinking.
34. What does the underlined word “thrives” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Fails quickly. B．Exists long. C．Spreads slowly. D．Develops well.
35. How does the author develop the argument in the text
A．By comparing AI’s impact across different continents.
B．By giving data, examples and reasons.
C．By sharing personal experiences.
D．By offering various views.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When was the last time you thought about music ___36___ If you enjoy music every day, you’re likely getting many benefits. But if you just think of music as the background noise at the grocery store, as part of annoying commercial advertisements, or as what teenagers are addicted to, you’re missing out. Here are some ways you can benefit from having music in your life.
Music can boost overall health. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain. It also improves sleep quality, mood, well-being, and happiness. And especially when you’re moving to music, your brain gets washed in beneficial “feel-good” hormones (激素). ___37___
Music gives your brain a good workout. Music has a mathematical structure based on relationships between one note and the next, including patterns, sequences, and harmonies. ___38___ However, your brain has to do a lot of computing to make sense of it. Therefore, listening to music can improve learning, memory, and mental alertness. It also boosts concentration and mindfulness.
___39___ Your music preference at the moment can depend on how you want to feel. You likely pick specific types of music depending on whether you’re looking to relax or exercise, trying to be productive or romantic, or traveling on foot or on wheels. The right music can boost your mood and your motivation to clean up, do homework, or work out. In contrast, you likely avoid music that makes you feel anxious, sad, or bored.
Music evokes (唤起) memories. When children are exposed to music, they can have rich experiences that create positive memories. You, too, may associate certain types of music with pleasant memories and enjoy listening to music from your past. ___40___ Setting information to music helps us remember it more easily.
A．Music sets the mood.
B．Music makes you happier.
C．You may not be aware of it.
D．What role does music play in your life
E．Do you know the benefits of singing a song
F．Similarly, there’s a reason we sing children’s song.
G．So music adds years to your life and quality to your life.

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。
Meera was 21 and had just completed her college degree in marketing. Today, she received an email that she was shortlisted for a job interview at an advertising firm “The Brand Makers”, one of the leading advertising firms in Mumbai.
She had never faced an interview before; this was her first interview. She searched for common questions on various search platforms. She stood in front of a mirror and practised her answers over and over again. Her parents encouraged her, and her best friend Reena even helped her choose the perfect outfit.
On the interview day, Meera reached the office 20 minutes early. The office building was bigger than she had imagined. Her palms were sweaty, and her mind was full of “what ifs”. She approached the receptionist and said, “I’m here for an interview.” The receptionist smiled and pointed to a waiting area.
After what felt like forever, a man stepped out and called her name. “Meera ” “Yes, sir,” she replied, standing up quickly. “Let’s begin,” he said. Inside the room, Meera sat across from the interviewer. He looked kind but serious. “Tell me about yourself,” he asked. She took a deep breath and began. Her voice was soft at first, but grew steadier. She shared her education, interests, and even her love for writing. “Why do you want to work with us ” the man asked. Meera thought for a second. “It’s because your company’s work really inspired me. I want to be part of it.” The man nodded. He asked a few more questions and then said, “Thank you, Meera. We’ll get back to you soon.”
Two days later, Meera got an email: “We truly appreciate your time and effort. Unfortunately, you have not been selected for this position. We wish you all the best.”
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。
Hearing the bad news, Meera felt a little disappointed at first.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Thanks to Reena’s help and encouragement, Meera decided to apply for more job positions actively days later.

Dear Lucy,
Last Friday I took part in the English Corner held in our school. We talked about interesting topics in groups and shared ideas freely. Some classmates even put on small English shows.
I really benefited a lot from it. My spoken English has improved greatly and I became more confident. I also made some new friends.
I hope you can share your interesting school activities with me next time.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写 参考范文
Hearing the bad news, Meera felt a little disappointed at first. She stayed alone in her room for quite a while and lost confidence. Seeing this, her best friend Reena came to comfort her. She told Meera that failure was common for new graduates and every experience was valuable. She also advised Meera to sum up the problems in this interview. Gradually, Meera cheered up.
Thanks to Reena’s help and encouragement, Meera decided to apply for more job positions actively days later. She kept practising interview skills and learned from each experience. Finally, several weeks later, she received an offer from another advertising company. She knew that as long as she kept trying, she would always get a good result.
