“City Cycling USA: Los Angeles,” a pocket-sized tour guide to seeing Los Angeles on two wheels, is seemingly for visitors; for locals, its series of bike-friendly paths and itineraries (行程) are a road-map to becoming tourists in their own city again.
“City Cycling” explores five neighborhoods in the Westside and Eastside and generally north of the 10 and south of the 101. Itineraries fit the period of a day, beginning with spots for coffee, walking along museums and shops, and finishing off with recommendations of where to buy a well-deserved drink. Published by Thames and Hudson in association with London cycling brand Rapha Racing, the guidebook is among the first U.S. sections — alongside New York, Chicago and San Francisco — in a series launched in 2013 with biking tours of eight European cities.
Greatest hits such as the Bradbury Building and Echo Park Lake are included in the neighborhood tours, with plenty of fashionable places for where to eat — Eggslut, Pine & Crane and Gjusta. The guide is a reminder of how crowdedly packed each enclave (飞地) of L.A. is with unusual destinations, the large number of places to explore within a few square mile radius (半径), easily done once we step out of the car.
Los Angeles’ famously pleasant weather makes it an ideal city for exploring by bike; neighborhoods have different styles. While the car still plays an important role, cycling culture, like CicLAvia, already has full support, and is prepared to grow with the implementation (实施) of Mobility Plan 2035, which aims to make the city more bike friendly. “City Cycling USA: Los Angeles” is a start.

The entire country struggled with the unprecedented heat of the July 2022 heatwave, but for the disabled, the heat hit even harder. The climate crisis is a threat to everyone’s health, but according to a report in 2021, people with disabilities are more vulnerable to the extreme weather events and natural disasters that result from the climate crisis.
Professor Kristie Ebi of the Centre for Health and the Global at the University of Washington, described the topic of heatwaves and disabled people as being an important issue. “Groups at higher risk during periods of high temperature include people with chronic(慢性的) medical conditions, people who take certain medications that can reduce the ability of the body to sweat, and the “disabled”, notes Ebi, going on to describe the different threats that heatwaves pose to different types of disabilities. Ebi notes the difficulty people with mobility issues or blindness may have with accessing services, such as cooling shelters, Ebi also comments on the importance of making messaging on the dangers of high temperatures accessible to those with learning disabilities or to deaf people,“ Some studies suggest higher rates of suicide and other mental health issues during heatwaves, requiring targeted help for those with mental disabilities,” she added.
Ailsa Speak, a disability and lifestyle blogger, experiences uncontrollable movements in the heat due to her cerebral palsy (脑瘫) “As you can imagine, when my involuntary movements increase, I get even hotter. It’s just a painful circle really.
In the absence of a concrete set of plans for people with disabilities during the climate crisis and extreme weather events, people with disabilities continue to be at increased risk of heat-related disease.
To prevent future death and destruction, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), an independent organization tackling climate change, advocates for adaptation planning, as the temperature is set to rise further due to the climate crisis and global warming. The CCC’s 2022 report on the health risks of overheating offers adaptation options to the government to ensure that buildings are fit for future climate change. Nevertheless, the publication does not offer specific advice about people with disabilities and overheating, which thus remains to be discussed promptly and thoroughly.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

C
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common for medical exams. The next time you get a body scan, there’s a good chance that AI might be analyzing the images.
A few years ago, four clinics in Poland tried out an AI system to discover polyps (息肉) and other conditions during colonoscopies (结肠镜检查). The AI works in real time, analyzing video from a camera inside the colon. If it spots something, it will highlight the area for the doctor to see. “In this particular one there’s a green box, showing where the polyp might be,” said Marcin Romańczyk, a gastroenterologist (胃肠病学家) at H-T Medical Center in Tychy, Poland, who led the study.
The clinics were collecting data on whether the AI system worked. It turns out it did, but when Romańczyk and his colleagues reanalyzed the data, they found something else: After they’d grown used to using an AI-assisted system, doctors became significantly worse at discovering possible polyps when the AI was switched off, discovery rates of possible polyps falling from 28.4% to 22.4%.
Romańczyk says he’s not quite sure why it’s happening, but he has some theories. “We are subconsciously (潜意识地) waiting for the green box to come out to show us where the polyp is and we’re not paying so much attention,” he says. In other words, the doctors seemed to become quickly dependent on AI systems catching the polyps. The doctors appeared to behave worse at spotting polyps and other conditions during colonoscopies on their own.
As for doctors’ losing critical skills because of AI, Johan Hulleman, a researcher who studies human reliance on AI, argued, “I think three months seems like a very short period to lose a skill that you took 26 years to build up.” He believes statistical variations (统计变异) due to a number of factors such as age of the patients might be behind the drop.

Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological（按时间计算的）age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.
“Chronological age isn’t how old we really are. It’s merely a number,” said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. “It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one.”
To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker(生物标志) that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune(免疫的) measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm（算式;算法）does the rest.
Perhaps what’s most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. “I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren’t set in stone,” Levine said. “People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it’s too late.”
Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. “I always considered myself a very healthy person. I’m physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call,” she said.
Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. “No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic（慢性的）diseases,” Levine said. “By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing.”

People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online. ___17___
Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge. ___18___ For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand. ___19___ Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.
___20___ The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility.
Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness. ___21___ Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular.
A．Overuse harms professionalism.
B．It also boosts audience engagement effectively.
C．It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant.
D．A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.
E．Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.
F．It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.
G．It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.

And on the days when I don’t do full workouts, I go for a walk. My body feels stronger, and my mind is clearer.
I also revisited my ___30___ habit. When I first started writing, my goal was to one day get a book deal from a major ___31___. And so I built habits to get me there. I ___32___ talked to people in the publishing world and ___33___ myself to write pages and pages each day. While I was doing this, I kept writing ___34___ articles on the side. Soon, though, I ___35___ a shift: Readers kept telling me that they found value in these shorter pieces, and it ___36___ that this was the type of content I enjoyed writing most. So I’ve changed my writing habits.
Even the best routines are useless if they are no longer serving you. Just get rid of them, and replace them with new ones that will help you get where you want to go.

THE STONE IN THE ROAD
Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a small kingdom. However, he was not content and always dreamed of expanding his territory. He tried every means to make his kingdom more powerful but ended up with little progress. Later he realized that a powerful country greatly relied on its national quality. He thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” For him, it was a crucial task to find a way out. One day, an idea occurred to him that he could do something to test and teach his people.
Early one morning, the king disguised himself and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid some gold coins under the stone. He made it a rule that anyone removing the stone could get the coins. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched.
Soon the villagers began their daily routine and came to the street one after another. The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here ” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After a while, a group of women came along, each balancing a pot of water on her head. One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
Then came more people. The king watched all morning, only to find that those people complained about the stone, but nobody made an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm ” Shaking his head, he decided to turn back.
Paragraph 1
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along.

The four nominations all show different sides of human civilization, covering communication, architecture, music and nature. All of them are meaningful but I think greetings in various languages are the best choice.
Greetings stand for the wish to communicate and connect. No matter what language people speak, we all long for friendship. Other works are great, but greetings can send the warmest message to unknown aliens. It represents our kindness and willingness to make contact.
五、读后续写参考范文
Paragraph 1
Just then, the king saw a young girl coming along. She carried a basket of vegetables and almost tripped over the stone. Instead of complaining, she stopped and looked at the heavy stone. Worried that others would get hurt, she put down her basket and tried to push the stone away. It was too heavy for her alone, so she called several passing boys to help. Together they moved the stone to the side of the road. Then she spotted the gold coins under it and stared in surprise.
Paragraph 2
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. He told the girl all the gold coins were her reward. He explained that the stone was a test: most people only complained about trouble without taking action, while she took responsibility to solve it. The king told all villagers the story later. From then on, villagers learned not to wait for others to fix problems, and the whole village became more united and responsible.
