Kathy Xu, a high school teacher in Singapore, had always wanted to see a shark in the wild. The opportunity finally
came in 2011, when she went on a trip to the Ningaloo Reef, off the coast of Western Australia. She was so inspired by its
beauty and grace that tears sprang to her eyes inside her snorkel(水下呼吸管) mask.
After returning home, Xu learned about the shark trade taking place at Tanjung Luarone, Indonesia's largest fish market,
where shark parts including fins, meat and teeth are cut up for export. Curious, Xu headed there and spoke with several
fishermen. Shark fishing is risky and involves hard physical work, but it is one of few ways for them to provide for their
families.
The fishermen were knowledgeable and felt a great sense of pride for the local sea life. Once they heard that Xu liked
to snorkel, they invited her to visit the co ral reefs (珊瑚礁) near the fish market. The reefs were extremely charming, full of
life and colour. Xu was confident that eco-tourism was the solution—a way the fishermen could make a living without having
to catch sharks. Together, Xu and the fishermen came up with the idea of snorkelling boat trips.
Snorkellers paid US$120 for a one-day trip to explore places the local fishermen know about but could not be
found on a Google search. It provides a much more reliable income for the fishermen than the dangerous job of shark
fishing.
In 2019, Xu and a shark scientist found a clown wedgefish, a relative of the shark. The species had not been seen for
more than 20 years and was believed to be extinct. The discovery gave scientists hope. For now, Xu, 41, is proud of the small
changes she sees happening, from the fishermen who now have a new way to earn an inc ome to the school children who
learn about sharks on tours.
24. What can we learn about shark fishing from Paragraph 2?
A. It provides a very high reward. B. It harms the oceanic ecosystem.
C. It is a dangerous but enjoyable job. D. It is risky but necessary for the fishermen.
25. What inspires Xu to consider eco-tourism as a solution?
第 3 页 共 8 页A. The large number of sharks. B. The beauty of the coral reefs.
C. His passion for snorkeling experience. D. The fishermen's pride for local sea life.
26. Why does the author mention“the clown wedgefish”in the last paragraph?
A. To show the achievement of eco-tourism. B. To report a great scientific breakthrough.
C. To emphasize the fish's rare nature. D. To call people's attention to shark research.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Chasing Sharks: Kathy Xu's Adventure B. Shark Tales: Kathy Xu's Exploration
C. Sharks and Livelihood: Kathy Xu's Efforts D. Underwater Wonders: Kathy Xu's Journey
C
After astonishing breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI), many people worry that they will end up without job
opportunities. A recent paper says that “around 80% of the us workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected".
Another paper suggests that legal services, accountancy and travel agencies will face significant and unexpected
disruptions(混乱).
Economists, however, tend to enjoy making prediction s about automation more than they enjoy testing them.In the
early 2010s many of them loudly predicted that robots would kill jobs by the millions, only to fall silent when employment
rates across the rich world rose to all-time highs. Few of them have a good explanation for why countries with the highest
rates of tech usage, such as Japan, Singapore and South Korea, consistently have the lowest rates of unemployment.
Here we introduce our first attempt at tracking AI’s impact on jobs. Using American data on employment by occupation,
we single out white-colla r workers. These include people working in everything from back-office support and financial
operations to copy-writers. White-colla r roles are thought to be vulnerable to generative AI,which is becoming ever better
at logical reasoning and creativity. However, there is as yet little evidence of an AIhit to employment. In the spring of 2020
white-collar jobs rose as a share of the total, as many people in service occupations lost their job at the start of the covid-19
pandemic.
It is, of course, early days. Few firms yet use generative-AI tools massively, so the impact on jobs could only be delayed.
Another possibility, however, is that these new technologies will end up destroying only a small number of roles. While AI
may be efficient at some tasks, it may be less good at others, such as management and working out what others need.
AI could even have a positive effect on jobs. If workers using it become more efficient, profits at their company could
rise which would then allow bosses to increase hiring.
28. What is the author's attitude towards the economists' predictions?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Puzzled. D. Curious.
29. What does the underlined part“vulnerable to”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Exposed to. B. Fond of. C. At risk from. D. In need of.
30. What may lead to the limited impact of AI?
A. AI technology is not advanced enough. B. Businesses are resistant to using AI.
C. AI tools are ineffective for most tasks. D. AI tools are still not widely used.
31. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A research plan. B. A user report.
C. A computer textbook. D. A science magazine.

Most of us already know exercise can do wonders for our physical and emotional health, and reduce the risk of getting
a number of diseases. But new research shows that exercising holds even more heart health benefits for people who suffer
第 4 页 共 8 页from anxiety or depression.
Researchers analyzed more than 50,000 patients in the Massachusetts General Brigham Biobank database. Just over
4,000 of the patients analyzed had suffered a major cardiovascular (心血管的) event, like a heart attack. In conducting the
study, researchers compared the rates of major coronary (冠状动脉的) events among patients who reported that they
exercised at least 500 metabolic equivalent (代谢当量) minutes per week with those who exercised less.
According to the research, people who completed the recommended amount of physical activity per week(150minutes)
were 17 percent less likely to suffer a major cardiovascular event than those who exercised less. Out of the people who
achieved the recommended amount of 150 minutes per week, those with anxiety or depression had a 22percent risk reduction,
compared with a 10 percent risk decrease in those without either condition.
Michael Emery, who is the co-director of the Sports Cardiology Center at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, explains the reason
physical activity is so beneficial.“Exercise is medicine both physically and psychologically, and these factors interact. As a
result, when you are more physically healthy your psychological state is stronger, and when you are mentally more healthy
your physical state is improved,”he says.“This latter connection is both direct, the connection between hormonal stress levels
and the physical state; and indirect, better healthy habit s such as eating.”
Emery stresses how being physically active is important, eye n if you don't reach the target of 150 minutes'exercise of
medium intensity level each week. He says taking the stairs, walking an extra bit from the car, or developing a community to
help support your physical fitness needs is a great start.
32. How did researchers con duct the study?
A. By conducting interview s with patients.
B. By building a database for over 50, 000 patients.
C. By measuring patients' metabolic equivalent minutes.
D. By analyzing exercise impact on major coronary events.
33. What is the relationship between physical and psychological states?
A. Psychological state determines physical health.
B. Physical and psychological states influence each other.
C. Physical health has no impact on psychological well-being.
D. Physical and psychological states are independent of each other.
34. What does Michael Emery suggest starting by?
A. Walking instead of driving a car. B. Exercising for 150 minutes a day.
C. Doing high intensity exercise every week. D. Taking small steps and building support.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Physical activities take on a variety of forms.
B. Physical exercise has little impact on cardiovascular events.
C. Exercise benefits heart health more for anxious or depressed people.
D. Cardiovascular events are closely related to anxiety or depression.

No matter your background, effective communication is an important life skill that everyone needs. Whether it's 56
backyard BBQ, family dinner, or departmental meeting, without strong communication skills, it's difficult to get your point
across effectively. And when communication 57 (fall) short, it's usually not pretty!
Whether you're a new mom just back from maternity leave (产假) or an 58 (experience) corporate employee with 15
years of service, your communication 59 (skill) could likely use some brushing up. Wherever you are in your life or
career, it's important to stop occasionally 60 (evaluate) whether your communication methods have been holding you
back.
Keep in mind 61 communication changes as society and technology evolves. The way we communicate now is 62
(definite) not the same as it was ten years ago —texting, WeChat, QQ, and the like change the face of communication. Plus,
your communication methods change, 63 (depend) on the environment you're in. If you're your own boss like me, you'll
likely need to switch it up a little now that you're representing your own brand instead of working 64 someone else.
No matter your situation or goals, as our lives and situations change, we must constantly develop and adapt.The more
conscious you are of your communication, the more it 65 (improve)!

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I'll never forget the day Mom made me go to a birthday party. I was in Mrs. Black's third grade class in WichitaFalls,
Texas, and I brought home a birthday invitation.“I'm not going,” I said.“She’s a new girl named Ruth, andBerniece and Pat
aren't going, either. She asked the whole class, all 36 of us.”
As Mom studied the handmade invitation, she looked strangely sad. Then she announced,“Well, you are going!I'll pick
up a present tomorrow.”I couldn't believe it. Mom had never made me go to a party! I was sure that I'd just die if I had to
go. However, Mom remained unaffected, regardless of how much I begged.
When Saturday arrived, Mom rushed me out of bed and made me wrap the pretty pink mirror brush-and-comb set
she'd bought for $2.98. She drove me over in her yellow and white car.
Rut h answered the door and signed me to follow her up the steepest (最陡峭的), scariest staircase I'd ever
seen.Stepping through the door brought me great relief. The hardwood floors shone in the sunlit room. White snow-like
mats(垫子) covered the backs and arms of the well-used furniture.
The biggest cake I ever saw sat on one table. It was decorated with nine pink candles, a carelessly printedHappy
Birthday Ruth and what I think were supposed to be rosebuds. Thirty six candle-filled paper cups were near the cake, each
one with a name on it.
This won't be too awful, once everyone gets here, I decided.
“Where's your mom?”I asked Ruth.
Looking down at the floor, she said,“Well, she’s sort of sick.”
第 7 页 共 8 页“Oh. Where's your dad?”
“He's gone.”
Then there was a silence, except for a few rough coughs from behind a closed door.
