For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that.
Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons No, thanks. Interactive theatre Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults
I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored.
Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended.
Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.

Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced？
A．He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease.
B．His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
C．His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment.
D．He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text
A．It replaces the need for human doctors.
B．It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C．It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
D．It is cheaper than traditional screening methods.
10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”
A．They finally avoid vision loss.
B．They conduct initial screenings.
C．They treat complex diseases.
D．They work without specialists.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant
B．How is AI Transforming Eye Care
C．What Could AI Contribute to Humans
D．Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors

In the crystal-clear waters near Talamone, Italy, an extraordinary sight awaits beneath the Mediterranean Sea’s surface. Mermaids, towering giants and enormous sculptural eyes gaze upward from the ocean floor, creating an otherworldly underwater gallery that serves a crucial environmental purpose. This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems.
The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood.
The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. These student-crafted pieces not only contribute to the anti-fishing barrier system but also provide alternative habitats for marine creatures. By offering the marine species a safe shelter within the sculptural installations, the project helps reduce their vulnerability to illegal fishing practices while supporting natural population recovery.
The fisherman behind the initiative recognized that traditional regulatory approaches alone were not enough to fulfill the environmental commitment. And the sculptures themselves have captured international attention while serving practical conservation purposes. Each piece sunk to the Mediterranean floor contributes to a growing underwater museum that tells the story of local efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.
As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems.
12. What is the purpose of the underwater sculptures
A．To protect underwater ecosystems.
B．To promote local fishing industry.
C．To raise environmental awareness.
D．To create an attractive artistic gallery.
13. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Carefully manage. B．Gradually relocate.
C．Significantly reduce. D．Successfully protect.
14. What can we learn about the project in paragraph 3
A．The project calls for more support from students and artists.
B．The project has expanded into a community-based initiative.
C．The sculptures have managed to stop practices of illegal fishing.
D．The sculptures show superior artistic skills of the young participants.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A．Art in the depths: A New Fashion in Italy
B．Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation
C．From Gallery to Fishery: The Power of Students
D．Guarding the Deep: Traditional Ways of Protection

The first-day anxiety was impossible to ignore as Lucy Falls walked into her new school. Though she was excited for the opportunity to study cinema at the School of the Arts, she now wondered if she had made a terrible mistake by transferring (转学) in the middle of the year.
Finishing her paperwork had worn her out. The office assistant had instructed her to take the staircase on the right down to the basement. Just as Lucy started walking, the bell for first period rang. She marched quickly and made it to the staircase. Distracted (使分心) by a group of students taking selfies or making videos, Lucy tripped over her first step. She fell and then skidded all the way to the bottom, purse and bag sliding down behind her.
“Smooth feet, newbie!”
“That’s gotta hurt!”
As she picked herself up, Lucy couldn’t decide what hurt more — her body or her pride. She took a few deep breaths and realized she was now standing in front of her first-period class. “Only like four people saw me fall,” she told herself. “No big deal.”
First period went by uneventfully. By the time she was headed to second period, she had thrown the fall to the back of her mind. When she pushed open the door to Intro to Cinema, the class she was most looking forward to, students looked her way and whispers snaked from group to group. Lucy felt her face get hot. A couple of kids were gathered in the back around one of the classroom laptops, and she assumed they were talking about her.
“Settle down, class,” the teacher said to the students, who quieted. She directed her attention toward Lucy and gave her a welcoming smile. “You must be Lucy Falls. Today we are discussing our 30-second film project. I believe the details were in the outline you received before you transferred. You can join group four,” she said, directing a pointed look to the group at the back of the classroom.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Fearing the worst, Lucy approached the group.

Dear Oliver,
How is everything going with you I’m writing to share the school study tour Exploring New Rural China I took last week.
We visited a modern village with tidy new houses, eco-farms and online live-streaming studios. Villagers sell local fruits and handicrafts online, living a rich and convenient life. High-speed roads and public sports grounds can be seen everywhere.
I was deeply touched. Rural areas have changed greatly thanks to national support. It’s amazing to witness such rapid development of our countryside. Hope you can come and see it one day.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
Fearing the worst, Lucy approached the group. She lowered her head, ready for more jokes about her embarrassing fall. To her surprise, the group greeted her warmly and invited her to sit down. They told her they’d watched her fall and thought it would make a wonderful short film shot. They’d been brainstorming plots and hoped Lucy could play the leading role of a clumsy new transfer student. Lucy’s embarrassment faded away instantly and she agreed happily.
Paragraph 2:
Her fall was now being transformed into a dramatic scene. They discussed camera angles and body movements to make the scene vivid and natural. Lucy shared her real feelings of shame and nervousness, making the story full of true emotions. They finished their 30-second film within class time. After watching the short film together, all classmates cheered. Lucy no longer felt anxious about transferring; she found her new group and fell in love with cinema class.
