Catarina Rosa Morais Chato had heart surgery when she was just 6 months old to repair a hole in her heart. The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease — and for which there is no cure.
Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. “My dream of dancing died that day,” she says, adding that she felt lonely when she couldn’t join her friends on the sports field.
Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born. At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, “I exceed (超出) my expectations,” she says.
She’s also found love: “My fiance, Tiago, has always supported me. He comes with me to cardiology visits, reminds me to take my medication and does things like carry the shopping bag for me.”
Reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, Chato feels pride. “Despite all the sad times I have been through, I am alive. I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping, I get to watch my nephews grow up,” she says. “25 years ago there was not as much hope for people with PAH. My advice to anyone is: Be happy, enjoy every minute of your life and don’t give up.”
24. What caused Chato to develop PAH
A. The failed operation. B. Her lack of exercise.
C. Her heart condition. D. The lung infection.
25. Why did Chato give up her dream
A. She was unwilling to see others. B. Her interest in dancing was reduced.
C. She had to receive treatment. D. Her physical state worsened.
26. How did Chato manage her work
A. By getting extra breaks. B. By changing work pace.
C. By asking others for help. D. By showing more patience.
27. Which words can best describe Chato
A. Courageous and tough. B. Energetic and talkative.
C. Considerate and gifted. D. Humorous and modest.
C
Being bored is no fun, especially at work. However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit.
In a study, 52 participants (参与者) were given a boring task of separating red from green beans for 30 minutes, while another group of 49 participants was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue. Then both groups were instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task. Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project.
“Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s lead author, Guihyun Park. “People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to find novelty, which can lead to unique thinking and bring out creativity.” Moreover, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored.
Finally, Park admits that not every type of job allows a state of boredom, and it really can be detrimental to some important work. “I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park. “Also, those jobs require less creativity but much attention to details instead; boredom won’t help much there.”
But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace (欣然接受). J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever.
28. What did the recent study find about boredom
A. It inspires creative ideas. B. It raises people’s patience.
C. It improves work efficiency. D. It leads to negative feelings.
29. Which kind of people are more likely to benefit from boredom
A. People who are afraid of change.
B. People who tend to focus on details.
C. People who are willing to try new things.
D. People who enjoy competing with others.
30. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Attractive. B. Harmful.
C. Necessary. D. Challenging.
31. Why does the author mention J.K. Rowling in the last paragraph
A. To show the power of embracing boredom.
B. To encourage people to stay bored in their daily life.
C. To prove the importance of creativity and imagination.
D. To explain the creation process of the Harry Potter series.
D
While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.
When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot It sounds like music from the future!
But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980. David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.
AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer
Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.
32. What plays an important role in producing PROTO
A. Holly’s special voice. B. The input of existing music.
C. Holly’s rich knowledge. D. The use of an instrument.
33. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa
A. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
B. To show the popularity of smart robots.
C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists.
D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards music co- created by AI and humans
A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Confident.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The increasing diversity of AI music.
B. The development of musical composition.
C. The history of computer-generated music.
D. The combination of AI and musical composition.

When I was in Grade 10, I was a shy and quiet girl. I was afraid to speak in public, even in front of my classmates. Every time the teacher asked a question, I would lower my head and hope that I would not be called on. I knew I was not stupid, but I just lacked courage. One day, our English teacher, Ms. Li, announced that we would have a group speech competition in two weeks. Each group had to prepare a 3-minute speech about "My Growth". When she asked who wanted to be the speaker of our group, no one raised their hand. I felt my heart beating fast—I really wanted to try, but fear stopped me.
My deskmate, Lily, noticed my nervousness. She turned to me and whispered, "You can do it. I’ve heard you read English aloud before, and your pronunciation is great." Her words gave me a little courage, but I still shook my head. "What if I make a mistake " I asked. Lily smiled and said, "Mistakes are part of growth. Even if you mess up, we will support you." With her encouragement, I finally raised my hand slowly. Ms. Li looked at me with a smile and said, "I believe you, dear. You will shine."
The next two weeks were busy. I spent every evening practicing the speech. I wrote down my story about being shy and wanting to change, and Lily helped me correct my grammar and pronunciation. Sometimes I wanted to give up because I was still afraid of standing in front of the whole class. But every time I thought of Lily’s words and Ms. Li’s trust, I kept going. On the day of the competition, I stood backstage, my hands sweating and my legs shaking. I could hear my heart beating loudly, and I almost ran away.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just then, I saw Lily and Ms. Li standing not far away.

Paragraph 1:
Just then, I saw Lily and Ms. Li standing not far away. They smiled at me and gave me a thumbs-up. Ms. Li mouthed "You are the best" to me, and Lily waved her hand gently. Their encouragement made me take a deep breath. I told myself: I have practiced so hard, and I can’t give up now. With trembling legs, I walked onto the stage. When I held the microphone, my voice was a little shaky. I looked down at my notes and started my speech slowly. At first, I forgot a few words, but I quickly calmed down and went on.
Paragraph 2:
After my speech, the whole class broke into warm applause. I felt my face turn red, but I also felt a strong sense of pride.
