For most of her life, Dr. Sarah Thomas viewed the vastness of the ocean not as a barrier, but as a calling. As a biological oceanographer, she had spent decades studying the migratory patterns of marine life. But it was a deeply personal discovery that shifted her focus from the life in the ocean to the health of the ocean itself.
In 2018, during a routine research expedition in the North Atlantic, Thomas’s team collected water samples that revealed an alarming concentration of micro-plastics. However, it wasn’t the data that changed her; it was a video call with her young nephew back home. He asked her, “Auntie Sarah, are you taking the rubbish out of the water so the fish won’t be sick ” His innocent question struck her. She realized that her years of publishing papers in scientific journals were not enough; she needed to translate the complex science into a story that everyone, especially the next generation, could understand and act upon.
Returning from her voyage, Thomas didn’t just write another report. She partnered with a local artist and a children’s book author to create The Voyage of the Violet, a beautifully illustrated book telling the story of a young sea turtle who gets tangled (缠绕) in plastic waste. The book, based on her scientific findings, simplifies the problem of plastic pollution without losing the truth. “We often think we need to impress people with data,” Thomas explained in an interview. “But to inspire them, we first need to connect with their hearts.”
Now, Thomas spends half her time at sea and the other half in schools and libraries, reading her book and teaching children about ocean stewardship. Her scientific work continues, but her mission has expanded. She is no longer just a scientist collecting data; she is a translator, bridging the gap between the laboratory and the living room.
4. What was Dr. Sarah Thomas’s initial professional focus
A．Publishing children’s books about the ocean.
B．Treating sick marine animals like sea turtles.
C．Studying the movements of ocean creatures.
D．Measuring the levels of pollution in the Atlantic.
5. What directly inspired Thomas to change her approach to her work
A．The invitation from a local artist.
B．The simple question from her nephew.
C．The frustration with scientific progress.
D．The high levels of micro-plastics in the ocean.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “stewardship” in the last paragraph
A．The scientific study of a particular subject.
B．The financial support provided for a project.
C．The responsible use and protection of something.
D．The commercial exploration of natural resources.
7. Which of the following can best describe Dr. Sarah Thomas
A．Strict and demanding.
B．Caring and responsible.
C．Creative and humorous.
D．Ambitious and adventurous.
C
From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups — such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks.
Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold. First of all, the group members assume an identity. A label is placed on them, which over time achieves a level of permanency. For example, if you decide yourself as belonging to the “I’m really not creative” group, you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative. The longer this belief lasts, the harder it is to change.
Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort. By joining the “I’m not creative” group, we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas. Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone — not because we can’t, but because we won’t. There are not just many like-minded people in the group, but it offers a safe environment to work and play.
But the problem doesn’t end there. There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following: “Creative people are individuals like Leonardo, Edison, Picasso, or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects” and “Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs, start new businesses, invent products... paint pictures, and make things of beauty.” When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up.
However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone. So, be mindful of what you read. Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing.
8. What does the underlined word “eschew” probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Avoid. B．Arouse. C．Express. D．Spark.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A．Creative people are very few.
B．Labels may limit our thoughts.
C．All great people are creative.
D．We can match great people easily.
10. What might the author agree with
A．Creativity belongs to everyone.
B．Groups help us know ourselves.
C．We should read more books.
D．Labels help us identify others.
11. What can be the suitable title for the passage
A．Group Identity: Its Hidden Benefits.
B．Age Groups: Key Comparisons.
C．Social Labels: Their Hidden Harm.
D．Creative Thinking: Ways to Develop It.
D
My great-grandfather moved to Mexico more than 100 years ago. He learned Spanish and raised five children in a family with both German and Mexican culture, but he didn’t teach them German, and the language was lost in one generation. However, three generations later, my children rediscovered it during visits to Germany. This story is a case study about human cognition (认知) .
When people who speak two languages switch between languages, they pick the right one by connecting situations to what they say and making sure they stay correct. This system works in many areas. Taxi drivers change their brain to remember thousands of routes and choose the best one. Musicians are always changing between musical notes, rhythms, and feelings, needing to adjust their thinking often. Learning, understanding, and changing are all like translation—matching what we expect with the world around us. This changes how we see intelligence. Intelligence isn’t just using one area of knowledge. It’s the skill to move between areas and turn ideas into actions.
This is important now because of AI. Big language models can process huge amounts of information and do well in many tasks, but they get stuck in fixed systems. They fail when the environment changes in ways unforeseen by training data, lacking domain translation, physical experience, and real life.
Humans survive change by switching their cognition. When one system doesn’t work, we turn to another — from using symbols to relying on our senses. This flexibility is our greatest power. We aren’t just information processors; we are translators between areas. If moving between areas is our main way to adapt, succeeding in the AI age means improving this skill: spotting when we’re trapped in one area, translating across them, and building thinking structures that help us switch.
AI will keep getting better at tasks in one area, but only humans can jump between unrelated areas. The future won’t belong to those who process the most data, but to those who translate between humans and AI, different meaning systems, and our present and future. Adaptation is translation. And translation is what makes us truly human.
12. Why does the author mention the family story
A．To stress human capacity.
B．To present a language problem.
C．To praise family education.
D．To explain a thinking system.
13. What is the new understanding of intelligence in paragraph 2
A．Translation between areas.
B．Constant in thoughts.
C．Effective action-taking.
D．Large-scale calculations.
14. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 4
A．Human’s special thinking power.
B．AI’s ability to adapt to many systems.
C．Human’s cognitive advantage.
D．AI’s huge information storage.
15. According to the last paragraph, who will succeed in the future
A．Those processing massive data.
B．Those switching between different areas.
C．Those focusing on one fixed field.
D．Those creating new meaning rules.

Recognize that each member brings unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table. ___19___ Assigning tasks based on individual strengths not only improves efficiency but also increases engagement and satisfaction.

47. 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。
Emma, a sophomore at Greenfield College, could barely go 10 minutes without checking her phone. Whether it was scrolling through social media, replying to group chats, or browsing study materials, her phone was always in her hand. Last week, her dorm mate Lisa introduced her to the “Phone-Free Hour” club — a student group that meets every Wednesday evening to do activities like reading, board games, or casual talks without any electronic devices.
At first, Emma laughed it off. “How can I survive an hour without my phone What if my mom texts me emergency news ” she asked Lisa. But Lisa shook her head, saying, “You’ll be surprised how relaxed you feel. Last week, we talked about our favorite childhood books — no one even thought about their phones!”
Curiosity got the better of Emma. On Wednesday, she put her phone on “Do Not Disturb” and followed Lisa to the club room. When she walked in, she saw about 20 students sitting in a circle: some were folding paper cranes, others were playing chess, and a few were sharing homemade cookies. A boy named Tom waved at her to sit down. “First time here ” he asked with a smile. Emma nodded, feeling a little awkward as she tucked her empty hands into her pockets — she wasn’t used to having nothing to “fiddle with.”
Five minutes passed, and Emma kept glancing at the door, half-expecting to rush back to her dorm to check her phone. Just then, Lisa handed her a book of short stories. “Try this — my grandma gave it to me. The stories are really warm,” Lisa said. Emma took the book slowly, opened it to the first page, and started reading. But before she could get into the story, her mind wandered: Did I post that homework photo correctly Will my friend comment on my last post She bit her lip, tempted to stand up and leave.
注意：

书信写作 参考范文
Last Saturday, our volunteer club held an activity to help elderly people learn to use digital devices at Chaoyang Community Center. We patiently taught them to make video calls, pay bills and search for information online.
This experience meant a lot to me. I realized many elders struggle with modern technology. Small help can bring them great convenience. I hope more people will care for the elderly and bridge the digital gap.

Just as Emma was about to stand up, Tom tapped her shoulder gently. He told her to calm down and focus on the interesting stories. Encouraged by his words, Emma took a deep breath and buried herself in the book. Gradually, she was attracted by the vivid plots and forgot all about her phone. Time flew by quickly, and before she knew it, the activity was over.
That night at her dorm, Emma checked her phone: no ‘emergency messages,” just casual texts. She felt totally relieved and peaceful. She finally understood that life could be wonderful without constantly staring at screens. From then on, Emma joined the club regularly and learned to enjoy the simple happiness in real life.
