About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his
rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a
Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head
veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and thework was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready
to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition
and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for
treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart
said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he
take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often
provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the
people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone
who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now
,
he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who
just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.
4. What do we know about Steward’s current job?
A. He runs an animal shelter.
B. He adopts abandoned pets.
C. He works for a science program.
D. He attends to homeless people's pets.
5. Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned?
A. To explain his change of career focus.
B. To illustrate his professional competence.
C. To explore the future of the industry.
D. To reflect the challenges of the profession,
6. What do many people think of Steward?
A. He’s odd. B. He’s frank. C. He’s humble. D. He’s merciful.

AI technology has long been able to recognize patterns in music preferences and create personalized playlists.
Now, a new AI system has taken this a step further by analyzing how people listen to music and identifying theirunique “listening styles.” This advancement in the field of “audiometric” analysis could revolutionize how music
streaming services tailor playlists to individual users, making them more personalized and enjoyable. However, there
are also concerns that such systems could potentially track users’ listening habits in ways that compromise privacy.
Music recommendation algorithms, such as those used by Spotify and Apple Music, have been highly effective at
suggesting new songs and artists. But Dr. Emily Carter, a music data scientist at the University of Music and
Technology, notes that these algorithms often use a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t capture the nuances of
individual listening behavior. To better understand and cater to individual preferences, researchers need to analyze
each user’s unique listening patterns.
To develop and train their AI, the researchers collected data from over 50 million listening sessions and fed it
into a neural network. They tested the system by seeing how well it could distinguish between different users’ listening
habits. The system was given 100 listening sessions from each of about 3,000 known users and 100 new sessions
from an unknown user. The AI looked for the best match and identified the unknown user 86% of the time, according to
a study presented at the International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR). “We were quite surprised
by the accuracy,” says Alex Johnson, a doctoral student in Carter’s lab and the lead author of the study. A non-AI
method was only 28% accurate.
“The work is really innovative,” says Dr. Sarah Kim, a music researcher at Google. “Personalized music
experiences could transform how we interact with music platforms.”
The researchers are aware of the privacy implications of their system, which could potentially identify users
based on their listening habits. In theory, similar systems could also analyze other behaviors, such as the types of
podcasts people listen to or the timing of their music consumption. ISMIR organizers found the study technically
impressive but ethically questionable, and accepted it on the condition that the researchers detail the privacy risks.
Carter says they have decided, for now, not to release the software publicly.
8. What advance in AI technology is described in the article?
A. It can recognize different human chess players.
B. It can create personalized playlists based on unique listening styles.
C. It can identify different people’s handwriting.
D. It can track people’s unacceptable online behavior.
9. Why is the new AI system considered innovative according to Dr. Sarah Kim?
A. It can recognize patterns in music preferences more accurately than existing algorithms.
B. It uses a one-size-fits-all approach to suggest new songs.
C. It can analyze the types of podcasts people listen to.
D. It can identify users based on their listening habits with high accuracy.10. What is the main concern regarding the new AI system described in the article?
A. Its ability to create highly personalized playlists.
B. Its potential to compromise user privacy by tracking listening habits.
C. Its limited accuracy compared to non-AI methods.
D. Its inability to distinguish between different users’ listening habits.
11. What is the attitude of the ISMIR organizers toward the study on the new AI system?
A. Favorable. B. Disappointed.
C. Careful. D. Uninterested.
D
One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to
keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word,
and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the
chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter.
I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person
to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and
then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the
exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has.
With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes,
sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I
want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses.
Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.
What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating
responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than
the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of
starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a
generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors,
but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.
There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move
forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want
to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the
exception, but the rule.
12. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2?A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions.
C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response.
13. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses?
A. Excited and eager to try them out.
B. Annoyed and not interested in them.
C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions.
D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience.
14. What would happen to kids with the automation of language?
A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase.
C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience
C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication

,
My day started just like all the other days for the past 15 years where I get up make some coffee, shower, get
dressed, and leave for the train station at precisely 7:35 A.M. to arrive at work by 8:30．While on the train, I would
always choose a seat away from the crowd so I could read the newspaper in peace and quiet.
At work, I am always burdened with questions from co-workers, suppliers, telephone calls, and then those
dreaded meetings, so the last thing I need is some stranger to sit beside me and start small talk.
I don’t know why, but for some reason, when I got on the train today, it was unusually full. With hesitation, I
sat down in the only seat available beside a middle-aged man who had his head down and seemed to be lost in his
thoughts. I was glad that he didn’t notice when I sat next to him as he just continued to look down towards the
floor.
Shortly after the train left for my 30-minute ride downtown, I found myself wondering what this man was
thinking about. What could be so important that he didn’t even see me sitting next to him? I tried to forget about it
and started to read my paper. However, for some strange reason, this “inner voice” kept prompting me to talk to this
man. I tried to ignore the “voice” as there was no way I was starting a conversation with a complete stranger.
As you probably guessed, I eventually broke down and came up with an excuse to ask him a question. When
he raised his head and turned his eyes toward me, I could see that he must have been really upset as he had red eyes
and still had some tears rolling down the side of his face, despite his feeble attempt to wipe them away. I can’t
describe the sadness I felt seeing someone in so much pain.
We talked for about 20 minutes, and in the end, he seemed to be doing better. As we were leaving the train, hethanked me heartily for being an “angel” by taking the time to talk. I never did find out what was making his heart
so heavy with pain, but I was glad I listened to the “voice” that day.

46. Dear Tom,
Learning that you’re fascinated by the Spring Festival, I’m writing to share a unique folk-custom experience
with you.
During the Spring Festival, I participated in making Chinese paper-cuttings. First, I selected a vivid pattern from
various samples. Then, I started to cut carefully along the lines. It was a painstaking process. With patience and
perseverance, a beautiful paper-cutting emerged in my hands.
This experience not only immersed me in the rich festive ambiance but also enabled me to appreciate the
profoundness and elegance of traditional Chinese culture.
Yours,
Li Hua
47.Several weeks later, I found an envelope on my desk with only the word “Angel” written on it. Curious and
slightly puzzled, I opened it and found a heartfelt letter from the man I had met on the train that day. In his letter, he
thanked me for taking the time to talk to him when he was at his lowest. He shared that he had been facing
overwhelming personal struggles and had even considered ending his life that very day. My simple act of reaching
out, he wrote, had reminded him that there were still people who cared, and it gave him the strength to keep going.
The letter closed with words that touched me deeply: “You were the angel I needed. God heard my prayer and sent
you at just the right time.”
Deeply touched yet still shaken, I sat there holding the letter, feeling lucky that I followed my inner voice. I had
almost ignored that “inner voice” urging me to speak to him, but now I understood why I hadn’t. It was a small act,
but it was indeed a calling of my inner kindness, which had made a significant difference in his life. From that day
on, I promised myself to always listen to that quiet voice within, especially when it nudged me to show kindness or
reach out to someone in need even there was no apparent reason. Sometimes, a few minutes of our time can mean
the world to someone else, and perhaps, in our own small way, we can all be someone’s “angel.”
