On a sunny Tuesday morning after 8:30, Kailyn Roush smiles at the Columbus Zoo. With 30 minutes before opening, she can film a “keeper talk” video. She and her classmate Maddie Hehl wrote and edited the script (脚本). They go to the Asia Quest exhibit to film red pandas Kora and Santi. As the red pandas move, they share facts and encourage conservation.
Kailyn, who has wanted to work in a zoo at 5, applied during high school and secured a place in a program jointly run by the zoo and the Delaware Area Career Center (DACC), which provides career and technical training for students and adult learners. Zoo School, as it’s called, is one of many programs from the center. It’s also part of something that Ohio schools champion: Career and Technical Education (CTE).
“Enrollment (招生) trends show a growing interest in CTE programs. Students are passionate about career-focused education in high school. As the economy has developed, there’s a broader recognition that CTE enhances academic learning, doesn’t prevent pursuing a four-year degree, and enriches students’ life. There’s a growing understanding that college isn’t the only place to acquire valuable skills for a good career.” says Margaret Hess, director for the Ohio Association of Career Technical Superintendents.
Zoo School for high-school juniors and seniors has two phases. In the first year, students divide time between class and zoo activities, doing two college-level animal research projects. They observe, collect and analyze data, write papers and present results. In senior year, it’s more hands-on with twice-weekly classes. Students learn about animals, habitats and behaviors, help with habitats, learn about diets and care, design enrichment activities and observe animals’ reactions if approved.
Another student Reid Rogers looks at ease as he and his classmate Zander Collin film their “keeper talk” in front of the moose (驼鹿) campsite. “This is fun,” Reid says. “I don’t like traditional classroom lectures. Working with zookeepers and staff is what I want. It’s interactive, more fun, less boring and makes me excited to come.”
4．Why did Kailyn and her classmates work at the zoo
A．To explore their career development. B．To volunteer in animal-related fields.
C．To pursue their dreams in raising animals. D．To complete their academic learning.
5．What does Margaret imply in Paragraph 3
A．CTE is for those without academic interests.
B．The social recognition of CTE is rising.
C．College education secures a comfortable life.
D．The outlook of CTE has an uncertain future.
6．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us about Zoo School
A．Its daily management. B．Its educational values.
C．Its operating process. D．Its financial arrangement.
7．Which aspect of Reid is mainly talked about in the last paragraph
A．His strong preference for hands-on learning.
B．His need for a supportive social environment.
C．His intention of combining learning with interest.
D．His acceptance of passive listening in a classroom.
Imagine backpacking to the icy top of the tallest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. During the dangerous climb to the top, would you believe me if I told you the peak of Mount Everest is slightly taller than it was a year ago
89,000 years ago, the Arun River in the northern Himalayas joined the Kosi River system due to Tibetan highland erosion (侵蚀). The combined rivers’ extra water eroded bedrock, reducing crust (地壳) weight and uplifting the Himalayas, adding 50-165 feet to Everest’s height. This erosion and uplift process is isostatic rebound (均衡回弹). Like unloading a ship, the lighter the crust (due to reduced weight from erosion), the more the floating layer beneath pushes it up, making Everest taller.
To figure out how much Everest has grown, researchers got to the top of the mountain in 2019. They placed the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver at the top of Everest to acquire satellite data. The scientists computed the data from their gravity survey, GNSS survey, and other leveling surveys to calculate the precise height of the top of Mount Everest.
Other scientists aren’t readily on board with the study’s findings. For one, the modeling relies more on assumptions rather than observations, Geologist Mike Searle said. He also said river combination happens all over active mountain ranges and is difficult to connect with uplift, especially when it happens tens of kilometers away. The main arguments are geographical. River destruction, in his opinion, has little to do with mountain uplift.
While Everest is about 250 meters above its neighbors, another researcher Attal said the river combination would explain only a part of this anomaly. The main process that makes the rocks rise up is the movement of the earth’s crust: The pushing together of the plates creates the shape of the land. “This is a completely new result: It is the first time such a mechanism is used to explain the growth of Mount Everest,” Attal said.
8．Why is a ship mentioned in Paragraph 2
A．To explain the structure of the crust.
B．To prove that it was once ocean here.
C．To show that the mountain floats on liquid.
D．To illustrate the process of isostatic rebound.
9．What is the purpose of using multiple methods to measure Mount Everest
A．To finish the task earlier. B．To see which is better.
C．To get an accurate result. D．To get a full picture.
10．What is Mike Searle’s attitude towards the findings of the study
A．Tolerant. B．Skeptical. C．Favorable. D．Ignorant.
11．What does the underlined word “anomaly” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Phenomenon. B．Argument. C．Assumption. D．Judgement.
A lot of my friends are deeply worried about artificial intelligence, while acknowledging the possible benefits. Many fears about AI are based on an underestimation of the human mind. Some people seem to believe that the mind is like a computer. It’s all just information processing, algorithms (算法) all the way down, so of course machines are going to eventually overtake us.
This is a poor view of who we humans are. The Canadian scholar Michael Ignatieff expressed a much more accurate view of the human mind: “What we do is not processing. It is not computation. It is not data analysis. It is a human activity that is a complex combination of conscious (有意识的) and unconscious, logical and emotional reflection.”
The human mind isn’t just predicting the next word in a sentence; it developed to love and bond with others; to seek the kind of wisdom that is held in the body; to seek and create meaning. AI can copy human thought because it can take all the ideas that human beings have produced and produce them into strings of words or collections of images that make sense to us. But that doesn’t mean the AI “mind” is like the human mind. The AI “mind” lacks understanding, self-awareness, emotions, moral feelings and a unique worldview based on a lifetime of distinct and never to be repeated experiences.
AI is a different kind of intelligence, more powerful than us in some ways, but narrower. It’s helping people handle boring tasks. It’s probably going to be a fantastic tutor, which will transform education and help humans all around the world learn more. But AI’s ultimate accomplishment will be to remind us who we are by revealing what it can’t do. It will force us to double down on all the activities that make us distinctly human: taking care of each other, being a good teammate, reading deeply, exploring daringly, growing spiritually, finding kindred spirits (志趣相投者) and having a good time.
12．What does the author intend to emphasize by quoting Michael Ignatieff
A．The potential threats of artificial intelligence.
B．The gradual replaceability of human thought.
C．The information processing of the human mind.
D．The unique nature of human mental activity.
13．How does the author develop the third paragraph
A．By giving an exact definition. B．By making detailed contrasts.
C．By listing specific data. D．By analyzing cause and effect.
14．What does the author think AI will finally do
A．Remind us of the human limitations. B．Replace human beings in aspects of life.
C．Encourage us to focus on learning activities. D．Enhance our understanding of human nature.
15．What is the best title for the text
A．Can AI Think for Itself B．Do We Need to Resist AI
C．Will AI Threaten Humanity D．Is AI Age Welcome
How to Become a Lifelong Learner
There are no age limits when it comes to education. Being a lifelong learner is all about maintaining your curiosity and love for learning.
Identify your learning style.
Everyone has a preferred way of approaching information. Determine your own preferred learning style. Figure out what learning techniques are most efficient. Most people learn through multiple methods but favor one or two. 16
Promote a positive attitude towards learning.
Don’t just force yourself to learn things because they’ re important or necessary. Instead, learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn. 17 Do you remember the 8th grade history that you hated so much, with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing It was difficult then, but it makes sense, now.
Get some perspective.
Broaden your horizons and respect the journey. Take a look at the theory of multiple intelligence if you don’t know it yet. 18 A lot of people have a fixed attitude. This means they think intelligence can’t be grown. They think mistakes reflect badly on their intelligence, so they avoid taking risks. Stay open to learning new things and ideas, and don’t be afraid to fail.
Create something.
Flexing (绷紧) your creative muscles can help you learn about yourself. 19 In fact, some of the most powerful learning happens when you are creating for yourself. Creation, like intelligence, can be artistic or scientific; physical or intellectual; social or solitary (独自的).
Use what you learn.
20 This is the best way to test it and it will help you learn it more completely and keep it in mind longer. It will also help you discover weaknesses and strengths in your learning, which is how we progress the sum of human knowledge.
A．Try developing a growth mindset.
B．Applying the knowledge is essential.
C．Improve these skills to the next level.
D．Use your preferences to your advantage.
E．Not all learning comes from outside you.
F．Follow your heart and your sense of duty.
G．Mix learning the basics with proper games.

Cesare Mencarini recently graduated from a high school in England with excellent grades. But he was probably more excited about the 21 he had the previous year — building a working nuclear fusion (核聚变) reactor at the age of 16.
As a child, Cesare became interested in electronics. At Cardiff, Cesare was allowed to 22 an extra area of study. After seeing a video about someone 23 a fusion reactor, Cesare decided he wanted to build one, too.
Cesare was a strong student, but his 24 classes weren’t teaching him how to build a fusion reactor. To learn this, he spent countless hours doing 25 , looking up information on the Internet, and watching videos. “We’re living in an age where everything is 26 just by searching,” he says. When he faced a 27 , he would read, watch 10 or 15 videos, and then go and try to 28 the problem. He also joined a website where he got advice from scientists with more experience.
Step by step, 29 long hours with his physics teacher and his advisor, Cesare built the reactor. Last June, at the very end of the school year, the reactor was 30 . Cesare could barely believe his eyes. “It works!” he cried, 31 .
He’s one of the youngest students to have built such an 32 fusion reactor. But for Cesare, it wasn’t just about the reactor. It was also about 33 by doing, and about making 34 with other people doing similar things. He’ll probably continue to 35 people’s ideas about how much young people can achieve.

Johnson, a bright and energetic 16-year-old, was always eager to explore the world. His mother, Sarah, was a loving and protective parent, but their ideas often diverge (分歧).
One sunny Saturday, Johnson came home from school, his face glowing with excitement. “Mom, I made the soccer team!” he shouted, waving a letter of confirmation. Sarah, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner, paused and turned to face him. “That’s wonderful, Johnson,” she said, but her tone lacked the enthusiasm he expected. “But, honey, you know how busy you are with school and your piano lessons. Are you sure you can handle the extra commitment ”
Johnson’s smile faded. “Of course, I can, Mom! I love soccer, and I promise it won’t affect my studies or piano lessons. Please, can I do it ” he begged, his eyes filled with determination.
Sarah sighed, placing the spatula (抹刀) down. “Johnson, I just don’t want you to burn out. You have a lot on your plate already. Let’s talk about this after dinner, okay ”
Johnson’s frustration grew. He felt that his mother didn’t believe he could manage his time well. After dinner, the conversation continued, but it quickly turned into an argument. “Why can’t you just let me do what I love, Mom ” Johnson shouted, his voice choked with emotion.
Sarah, equally upset, replied, “I’m not trying to stop you, Johnson. I just want you to be successful and happy. I worry that you’ re taking on too much.”
The next day, Johnson decided to take matters into his own hands. He went to the soccer field and joined his teammates for practice. The excitement of the game and the good friendship with his friends made him feel alive. However, as the days passed, Johnson began to feel the stress. He was staying up late to finish homework, skipping piano practice, and feeling exhausted all the time.
One evening, after a particularly exhausting day, Johnson fell onto the couch, his body aching. Sarah, noticing his tiredness, sat down beside him. “How are you feeling, sweetie ” she asked gently.

47．Johnson looked at her, his eyes filled with regret. “I’m so tired, Mom. I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up.” His mother wrapped her arm around him. “I knew this would be tough, but I also knew you needed to see it for yourself. I never doubted your passion, but I wanted you to understand the importance of balance.” Johnson nodded, realizing the wisdom in his mother’s words. “I get it now, Mom. I should have listened to you. Thank you for caring so much.” “Now, let’s work together to make a schedule. OK ” his mother asked.
“Certainly, Mom. Hore could we make a schedule ” Johnson responded. Then, Johnson and his mother worked together to find a balanced schedule. Johnson continued to play soccer, but he also made sure to prioritize his studies and piano lessons. He learned that his mother’s concerns came from a place of love and a desire to see him succeed without overwhelming himself. The experience taught Johnson a valuable lesson: sometimes, the people who challenge us the most are the ones who care the most. And with understanding and communication, even the toughest conflicts can lead to growth and deeper bonds.
