Zlotkowski, a high school girl who lives on Isleboro Island, off Maine’s midcoast, spent her summer helping her
mom Kimberly sell seafood at their local farmers’ market. It was there that they met another vendor(小贩) selling
homemade goat cheese. A quick taste and the family fell in love with it.
“Mom. let’s get some goats so we can have cheese,” said Zlotkowski. Understandably, her mom wasn’t sold
on the idea, but it happened that Kimberly was looking to clear some land. Zlotkowski saw her opening.
“Goats eat a lot of plants that other livestock(牲畜) won’t touch. They’re also able to access brushy areas that
are inaccessible to some larger equipment, and they naturally fertilize(施肥)while they work,” Zlotkowski explained
to her mother. Then she suggested, “Why not get some goats to clear the land, and we would also benefit from their
milk and cheese?” Kimberly got on board, and Grazy Goat Girls was born.
Over the fall, Zlotkowski acquired five goats, and she has been getting the animals adapted to their new
environment. She has let the goats clear some of her mom’s land in a safe and eco-friendly manner, inspecting their
progress and timing, to help her handle inquiries from people throughout the region about clearing their properties.
With two years left of high school, Zlotkowski is growing her landscaping business slowly, balancing the goats
with seeing her friends and attending school activities. She wants to see how big she can make Grazy Goat Girls
before leaving for college. When she’s not there, Zlotkowski will have to find someone to care for her goats until she
can come back.“ After college, I’m hoping I can come back and start a farm,” says Zlotkowski.
4. What impressed Zlotkowski at the local market?
A. Working as a vendor was no easy job.
B. Homemade goat cheese was delicious.
C. Seafood was less popular than cheese.
D. Many vendors sold homemade goat cheese.
5. What does the underlined phrase“ wasn’t sold on ”in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seemed uninterested in.
B. Becane impatient with.C. Seemed attracted by.
D. Became influenced by.
6. What can we infer about Grazy Goat Girls?
A. It has made a big name in the neighbourhood.
B. It has led to dissatisfaction throughout the region.
C. It has failed to balance business with academics.
D. It has helped clear land in a sustainable way.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Zlotkowski: a student who saves local livestock
B. Raising goats: an emerging trend on the market
C. Zlotkowski: a schoolgirl-turned-landscaper
D. Grazy Goat Girls: a teenager-inspired workshop

Today, open book-review pages, and you are more likely to see writers describing each other and their work
with such words as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they once did, “tiresome”. An editor for BuzzFeed, a
news site, even announced that its books section would not do negative book reviews at all. This was wonderful
news for writers everywhere. It was not such good news for readers.
The best bad reviews are scalpel (手术刀) jobs, observes the British critic Adam Mars-Jones,“ because if it’s
not precise, it’s not going to work.” One of the finest was used by George Eliot on Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre”.
“I wish,” Eliot wrote.“ the characters would talk a little less like the heroes and heroines of police reports.” Modem
reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All too often reviews are full of filler words: “darkly funny”, “deep
thinking”. Many of these imply the word “boring”, which is in effect forbidden on literary pages.
The Internet is one reason for this softening. It has changed both the economics of criticism(newspapers have
fewer book pages, so editors tend to fill them with the books you should read, not the ones you should not) and
the advisability of it. The Internet has also helped decrease anonymity (匿名). Once, most reviews were
anonymous. Today, most reviewers are not only named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ago, critics were
“encouraged to really have a go at people”, now people are ‘terrified of giving public criticism’’.
There have been attempts to bring back sharp criticism. In 2012 an award called the “Hatchet Job of the Year”
was launched by two critics as a “mission against boredom and lazy thinking”. It ran for three years. Fleur
Macdonald, one of its co-founders, thinks that “the literary scene probably needs it more than over now”, but that it
struggled to get sponsorship since “bad book review s can cause disagreements”.
8. What is the feature of book review s nowadays?A. They are getting brilliant. B. They are very friendly to readers.
C. They hardly offer sharp criticism. D. They show no respect for writers’ feelings.
9. What does the author feel at Eliot’s review of “Jane Eyre”?
A. Exact and effective. B. Beautiful and talkative.
C. Thoughtful and funny. D. Unfriendly and uncertain.
10. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By listing figures. B. By making comparisons.
C. By providing examples. D. By making classifications.
11. What can we learn about the “Hatchet Job of the Year”?
A. It inspired many critics. B. It became an instant hit.
C. It met with challenges. D. It has been running for years.
D
Can a machine predict the song of the summer? Can it remove forgettable flops (失败之作)? If so, such a
technology could reduce music production costs and even make judges on television talent shows outdated-but after
decades of “hit song science” research, predicting a successful song is still more of an art than a science.
Now researchers at Claremont Graduate University say they’ve found a way to use artificial intelligence to
predict the next chart-topping song. The team tracked how participants responded as they listened to music. A
machine-learning model trained on the data was then able to determine whether a song was a hit or a flop with 97
percent accuracy.
Traditionally, music industry experts looking to predict the next hit have relied on large databases to analyze
the lyrical and acoustic (原音的) aspects of hit songs. But this method has performed only slightly better than a
random coin toss (投掷). For example, Hoda Khalil, a data scientist. and her workmates have analyzed data from
more than 600,000 songs and found no significant connections between various acoustic features and a tune’s
commercial popularity.
Rather than focusing on a song’s qualities, the Claremont team sought to explore how humans respond to
music. “Songs are designed to create an emotional experience for people, and those emotions come from the
brain, ”says Paul Zak, senior author of the new study.
Previous attempts to use brain scans to predict hit songs had limited success. Instead of directly measuring the
brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensors that monitor changes in their heart blood flow,
similar to the way traditional smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened to 24 songs ranging from the hit “Dance Monkey” to the commercial flop “Dekario”.
Their data were then fed through the commercial platform Immersion Neuroscience (沉浸式神经科学), co-founded by Zak. An AI model trained on these immersion signals predicted hit songs with high accuracy, the
researchers reported. However, not everyone is convinced. “The study depends on the neurophysiological measure
of immersion, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Koelsch, a neuroscientist at the
University of Bergen in Norway.
12. What is the possible result of the predicting technology?
A. The big rise in music production costs. B. The dramatic decrease in hit songs.
C. The declining popularity of talent shows. D. The unemployment of TV program judges.
13. What can we say about the traditional predicting method?
A. It involves little analysis. B. It presents low accuracy.
C. It was inspired by coin tossing. D. It was applied to composing songs.
14. How was the new study conducted?
A. By inviting participants to finish questionnaires. B. By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C. By scannıng participants’ brain activities. D. By tracing participants’ heart blood flow.
15. What is Stefan Koelsch’s attitude towards the research?
A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.

A Move to a New Life
I was shocked when my parents told me we were moving from Baton Rouge, Louisana, to New York. First, I
complained about not being able to make new friends and not knowing anything about New York.
My mom said, “You’ll make new friends, and it’s not like you know anything about Baton Rouge anyway.
I protested, “But I don’t want to leave Louisiana. The weather is perfect here!”
My mom shot me a disapproving look and said, “You’ll get used to the weather in New York.”
I remember thinking about running away and joining a circus somewhere, but then I remembered that circus
animals smell really bad, and I would miss my parents. So I wandered around the house pick picking up random
things, like my baseball and glove, and throwing them into a cardboard box. I felt like a big, heavy rain cloud I was
hanging over my head.
Within three days, all the furniture we were taking e taking with us was packed into a moving van (小型货车).
Oder things were ready to be sold for nowhere near what we paid for them. Little by little our yard sale decreased
until no one even looked at the well-worn coffee table, chewed-up plastic toys, and slightly damaged coffee cups—
all of which I had my teeth on at one time or another
The next day was Monday, and we got up early to beat the traffic. I’ll spare you the details of how boring it was
to sit in a van and watch each tree as it passed by only to see another tree getting closer until it a so passed by. Halfway
there, we stopped at a motel (汽车旅馆) to spend the night. This time, no one could sleep because of the smell coming
from the heater in the room. By the time we finally made it to New York, it was the middle of the night, and my head
was already drooping (低垂) on to my shoulder.

Zlotkowski, a high school girl who lives on Isleboro Island, off Maine’s midcoast, spent her summer helping her
mom Kimberly sell seafood at their local farmers’ market. It was there that they met another vendor(小贩) selling
homemade goat cheese. A quick taste and the family fell in love with it.
“Mom. let’s get some goats so we can have cheese,” said Zlotkowski. Understandably, her mom wasn’t sold
on the idea, but it happened that Kimberly was looking to clear some land. Zlotkowski saw her opening.
“Goats eat a lot of plants that other livestock(牲畜) won’t touch. They’re also able to access brushy areas that
are inaccessible to some larger equipment, and they naturally fertilize(施肥)while they work,” Zlotkowski explained
to her mother. Then she suggested, “Why not get some goats to clear the land, and we would also benefit from their
milk and cheese?” Kimberly got on board, and Grazy Goat Girls was born.
Over the fall, Zlotkowski acquired five goats, and she has been getting the animals adapted to their new
environment. She has let the goats clear some of her mom’s land in a safe and eco-friendly manner, inspecting their
progress and timing, to help her handle inquiries from people throughout the region about clearing their properties.
With two years left of high school, Zlotkowski is growing her landscaping business slowly, balancing the goats
with seeing her friends and attending school activities. She wants to see how big she can make Grazy Goat Girls
before leaving for college. When she’s not there, Zlotkowski will have to find someone to care for her goats until she
can come back.“ After college, I’m hoping I can come back and start a farm,” says Zlotkowski.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“It was there that they met another vendor(小贩) selling homemade goat cheese. A
quick taste and the family fell in love with it.(就在那里，他们遇到了另一个卖自制山羊奶酪的小贩。尝了一口，
全家都爱上了它。)”可知，自制的山羊奶酪很美味，这让Zlotkowski 印象深刻。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Mom. let’s get some goats so we can have cheese(妈妈我们去买些山羊，这样我

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第四段“Over the fall, Zlotkowski acquired five goats, and she has been getting
the animals adapted to their new environment. She has let the goats clear some of her mom’s land in a safe and eco-
friendly manner, inspecting their progress and timing, to help her handle inquiries from people throughout the
region about clearing their properties.(今年秋天，Zlotkowski养了五只山羊，她一直在让这些山羊适应新环境。
她让山羊以安全和环保的方式清理了她妈妈的一些土地，检查了它们的进展和时间，以帮助她处理来自整
个地区的人们关于清理他们的土地的询问。)”和第五段“With two years left of high school, Zlotkowski is
growing her landscaping business slowly, balancing the goats with seeing her friends and attending schoolactivities.(在高中还剩两年的时候，Zlotkowski 正在慢慢发展她的园林绿化业务，在与朋友见面和参加学校
活动之间保持平衡。)”可知，文章讲述高中女生Zlotkowski养了五只山羊，后来成立了Grazy Goat Girls，
帮助妈妈和邻里清理一些土地杂草的故事。所以C项Zlotkowski: a schoolgirl-turned-
landscaper(Zlotkowski：一个女学生变成了园林设计师)符合语境。故选C项。
C
Today, open book-review pages, and you are more likely to see writers describing each other and their work
with such words as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they once did, “tiresome”. An editor for BuzzFeed, a
news site, even announced that its books section would not do negative book reviews at all. This was wonderful
news for writers everywhere. It was not such good news for readers.
The best bad reviews are scalpel (手术刀) jobs, observes the British critic Adam Mars-Jones,“ because if it’s
not precise, it’s not going to work.” One of the finest was used by George Eliot on Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre”.
“I wish,” Eliot wrote.“ the characters would talk a little less like the heroes and heroines of police reports.” Modem
reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All too often reviews are full of filler words: “darkly funny”, “deep
thinking”. Many of these imply the word “boring”, which is in effect forbidden on literary pages.
The Internet is one reason for this softening. It has changed both the economics of criticism(newspapers have
fewer book pages, so editors tend to fill them with the books you should read, not the ones you should not) and
the advisability of it. The Internet has also helped decrease anonymity (匿名). Once, most reviews were
anonymous. Today, most reviewers are not only named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ago, critics were
“encouraged to really have a go at people”, now people are ‘terrified of giving public criticism’’.
There have been attempts to bring back sharp criticism. In 2012 an award called the “Hatchet Job of the Year”
was launched by two critics as a “mission against boredom and lazy thinking”. It ran for three years. Fleur
Macdonald, one of its co-founders, thinks that “the literary scene probably needs it more than over now”, but that it
struggled to get sponsorship since “bad book review s can cause disagreements”.
8. What is the feature of book review s nowadays?
A. They are getting brilliant. B. They are very friendly to readers.
C. They hardly offer sharp criticism. D. They show no respect for writers’ feelings.
9. What does the author feel at Eliot’s review of “Jane Eyre”?
A. Exact and effective. B. Beautiful and talkative.
C. Thoughtful and funny. D. Unfriendly and uncertain.
10. How is paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By listing figures. B. By making comparisons.
C. By providing examples. D. By making classifications.11. What can we learn about the “Hatchet Job of the Year”?
A. It inspired many critics. B. It became an instant hit.
C. It met with challenges. D. It has been running for years.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今书评很少提出尖锐的批评的现象，分析了这一现象背后的
原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Today, open book-review pages, and you are more likely to see writers describing
each other and their work with such words as “brilliant” and “insightful” rather than, as they once did, “tiresome”.
An editor for BuzzFeed, a news site, even announced that its books section would not do negative book reviews at
all. (如今，打开书评页面，你更有可能看到作家们用“才华横溢”和“见解深刻”这样的词来形容彼此和
他们的作品，而不是像过去那样用“令人厌烦”。新闻网站BuzzFeed的一名编辑甚至宣布，它的图书版块
根本不会刊登负面书评)”可知，现在书评的特点是很少提出尖锐的批评。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the finest was used by George Eliot on Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre”. “I
wish,” Eliot wrote.“ the characters would talk a little less like the heroes and heroines of police reports.” Modem
reviewers rarely achieve such deadly beauty. All too often reviews are full of filler words: “darkly funny”, “deep
thinking”. Many of these imply the word “boring”, which is in effect forbidden on literary pages.(乔治·艾略特
在夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》中使用了最好的一个。“我希望，”艾略特写道。“人物的谈吐会不那么
像警察报告中的男女主角。”现代评论家很少能达到如此致命的美。评论往往充满了填充词：“黑色幽
默”、“深思熟虑”。其中许多都暗示了“无聊”一词，而这个词在文学页面上是被禁止的。)”可知，作
者认为艾略特对《简·爱》的评价准确有效。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The Internet is one reason for this softening. It has changed both the economics of
criticism (newspapers have fewer book pages, so editors tend to fill them with the books you should read, not the
ones you should not) and the advisability of it. The Internet has also helped decrease anonymity (匿名). Once, most
reviews were anonymous. Today, most reviewers are not only named but easily searchable. Whereas 30 years ago,
critics were “encouraged to really have a go at people”, now people are ‘terrified of giving public criticism’’.(互联
网是这种软化的原因之一。它既改变了评论的经济学（报纸的页数较少，因此编辑倾向于用你应该读的书
填满它们，而不是你不应该读的书），也改变了评论的可取性。互联网也有助于减少匿名。以前，大多数
评论都是匿名的。今天，大多数评论者不仅有名字，而且很容易被搜索到。30年前，批评家们“被鼓励去批评别人”，而现在，人们“害怕公开批评”)”可知，第三段通过比较以前和现在的评论展开。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fleur Macdonald, one of its co-founders, thinks that “the literary scene probably
needs it more than over now”, but that it struggled to get sponsorship since “bad book review s can cause
disagreements”.(它的创始人之一Fleur Macdonald认为“文学界可能比现在更需要它”，但由于“糟糕的书
评会引起分歧”，它很难获得赞助。)”可知，Hatchet Job of the Year遇到了挑战。故选C。
D
Can a machine predict the song of the summer? Can it remove forgettable flops (失败之作)? If so, such a
technology could reduce music production costs and even make judges on television talent shows outdated-but after
decades of “hit song science” research, predicting a successful song is still more of an art than a science.
Now researchers at Claremont Graduate University say they’ve found a way to use artificial intelligence to
predict the next chart-topping song. The team tracked how participants responded as they listened to music. A
machine-learning model trained on the data was then able to determine whether a song was a hit or a flop with 97
percent accuracy.
Traditionally, music industry experts looking to predict the next hit have relied on large databases to analyze
the lyrical and acoustic (原音的) aspects of hit songs. But this method has performed only slightly better than a
random coin toss (投掷). For example, Hoda Khalil, a data scientist. and her workmates have analyzed data from
more than 600,000 songs and found no significant connections between various acoustic features and a tune’s
commercial popularity.
Rather than focusing on a song’s qualities, the Claremont team sought to explore how humans respond to
music. “Songs are designed to create an emotional experience for people, and those emotions come from the
brain, ”says Paul Zak, senior author of the new study.
Previous attempts to use brain scans to predict hit songs had limited success. Instead of directly measuring the
brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants with wearable sensors that monitor changes in their heart blood flow,
similar to the way traditional smartwatches and fitness trackers detect heart rate.
Participants listened to 24 songs ranging from the hit “Dance Monkey” to the commercial flop “Dekario”.
Their data were then fed through the commercial platform Immersion Neuroscience (沉浸式神经科学), co-
founded by Zak. An AI model trained on these immersion signals predicted hit songs with high accuracy, the
researchers reported. However, not everyone is convinced. “The study depends on the neurophysiological measure
of immersion, but this measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Koelsch, a neuroscientist at the
University of Bergen in Norway.12. What is the possible result of the predicting technology?
A. The big rise in music production costs. B. The dramatic decrease in hit songs.
C. The declining popularity of talent shows. D. The unemployment of TV program judges.
13. What can we say about the traditional predicting method?
A. It involves little analysis. B. It presents low accuracy.
C. It was inspired by coin tossing. D. It was applied to composing songs.
14. How was the new study conducted?
A. By inviting participants to finish questionnaires. B. By equipping participants with smartwatches.
C. By scannıng participants’ brain activities. D. By tracing participants’ heart blood flow.
15. What is Stefan Koelsch’s attitude towards the research?
A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项可以预测歌曲是否成功的技术发明了，解释了其工作原理
以及人们对此的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If so, such a technology could reduce music production costs and even make judges
on television talent shows outdated-but after decades of “hit song science” research, predicting a successful song is
still more of an art than a science.(如果是这样的话，这样的技术可以降低音乐制作成本，甚至使电视选秀节
目的评委过时——但是经过几十年的“热门歌曲科学”研究，预测一首成功的歌曲仍然是一门艺术，而不
是一门科学)”可知，预测技术的可能结果是电视节目评委的失业。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Traditionally, music industry experts looking to predict the next hit have relied on
large databases to analyze the lyrical and acoustic (原音的) aspects of hit songs. But this method has performed
only slightly better than a random coin toss (投掷).(传统上，音乐行业专家希望预测下一个热门歌曲，他们依
靠大型数据库来分析热门歌曲的抒情和声学方面。但这种方法只比随机抛硬币好一点点)”可知，传统的预
测方法准确率低。故选B。
【
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Instead of directly measuring the brain, Zak’s team equipped 33 participants
with wearable sensors that monitor changes in their heart blood flow, similar to the way traditional smartwatches
and fitness trackers detect heart rate.(Zak的团队没有直接测量大脑，而是为33名参与者配备了可穿戴传感器，以监测他们心脏血流的变化，类似于传统的智能手表和健身追踪器检测心率的方式)”可知，这项新研究通
过追踪参与者的心脏血流进行。故选D。
【
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study depends on the neurophysiological measure of immersion, but this
measure needs further scientific study,” says Stefan Koelsch, a neuroscientist at the University of Bergen in
Norway.( 挪威卑尔根大学的神经科学家Stefan Koelsch说：“这项研究依赖于浸泡的神经生理学测量，但
这种测量需要进一步的科学研究。”)”可知，Stefan Koelsch对这项研究的态度是客观的。故选A。

Waste Sorting: A Step to a Greener Future
It is disturbing to see piles of rubbish produced every day. However, a majority of citizens fail to fall into the
habit of sorting waste, which otherwise could bring about huge benefits.
Initially, some waste which tends to be casually thrown into dustbin, such es paper, can actually be recycled or
reused. Additionally, it can make a significant difference to environmental protection.
Therefore, it’s time that government should take immediate action to call for waste sorting. Besides, colorful
garbage cans with clear waste sorting images can be designed to encourage people to sort rubbish. Only with joint
efforts can we embrace a greener future.

47. 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
A Move to a New Life
I was shocked when my parents told me we were moving from Baton Rouge, Louisana, to New York. First, I
complained about not being able to make new friends and not knowing anything about New York.
My mom said, “You’ll make new friends, and it’s not like you know anything about Baton Rouge anyway.
I protested, “But I don’t want to leave Louisiana. The weather is perfect here!”
My mom shot me a disapproving look and said, “You’ll get used to the weather in New York.”
I remember thinking about running away and joining a circus somewhere, but then I remembered that circus
animals smell really bad, and I would miss my parents. So I wandered around the house pick picking up random
things, like my baseball and glove, and throwing them into a cardboard box. I felt like a big, heavy rain cloud I was
hanging over my head.
Within three days, all the furniture we were taking e taking with us was packed into a moving van (小型货车).
Oder things were ready to be sold for nowhere near what we paid for them. Little by little our yard sale decreased
until no one even looked at the well-worn coffee table, chewed-up plastic toys, and slightly damaged coffee cups—
all of which I had my teeth on at one time or another
,
The next day was Monday and we got up early to beat the traffic. I’ll spare you the details of how boring it
was to sit in a van and watch each tree as it passed by only to see another tree getting closer until it a so passed by.
Halfway there, we stopped at a motel (汽车旅馆) to spend the night. This time, no one could sleep because of the
smell coming from the heater in the room. By the time we finally made it to New York, it was the middle of the night,
and my head was already drooping (低垂) on to my shoulder.

【答案】When I woke up, I didn’t find a smog-filled city as expected. Instead, I was met with a clear sky and the
soft sounds of morning in New York. The city seemed to be waking up with a gentle hum, not the chaotic rush I had
imagined. I could see people walking their dogs, joggers in the park, and the first light of day reflecting off the
windows of tall buildings. It was a peaceful start to what I had feared would be a daunting day.
As I got used to this new setting, I realized that I didn’t have to be afraid of change. The city, with its energy and
diversity, offered endless opportunities to explore and grow. I began to make friends with classmates who came from
different backgrounds, each bringing something unique to our conversations. The change that once seemed so daunting
now felt like a chance to broaden my horizons. I started to enjoy the new experiences, from trying different foods to
visiting places I had only read about. New York was teaching me to embrace change, and I was learning to love it.
