阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Braille, the tactile reading system blind people can use to read text, is in more places than you may first
realize, which works by using six tactile dots （触点） set in two columns and three rows, known as
cells. Each raised dot relates to a letter, a number or a mark, and each letter has its own pattern of dots.
There are two ways in which Braille can be read, either as individual letters or predetermined phrases or
grouped letters. According to the WHO, 36 million people globally are blind. However, fewer and fewer
people are using Braille to read, due to audio alternatives. The Night Writer
Though Braille bears the name of a man remembered for its creation, it was another who first used
raised dots for writing. Back in the early 1800s, French officer Charles Barbier invented the technique-
night writing, where a 12-dot cell was employed. Barbier later lectured on his system at the Royal
Institute for Blind Youths in Paris, which a 12-year-old student named Louis Braille eventually improved
upon.
How Blind People Read Digital Text
Though traditional Braille is still used by many in the visually challenged community, the digital
revolution （革命） has taken it from paper to plastic. Several companies have created electronic
Braille readers to turn digital information into Braille. These devices translate digital text and present it
as Braille through a series of cells comprised of changing plastic pins （针） to copy tactile dots.
21. What is a cell in Braille?
A. It refers to a reading system. B. It represents a tactile dot in text.
C. It is a predetermined phrase. D. It is a set of 6 dots in a 2×3 pattern.

22. What can we learn about Braille?
A. It is named for Louis Braille’s original idea.
B. The number of Braille users is on the decrease.
C. Electronic Braille readers turn text into audio.
D. The digital revolution has brought an end to cells.
23. In which of the following magazines can we find the article?A. How It Works B. Techlife News
C. Ancient History D. National Geography

When I was eleven, my mom and dad died. I was left caring for my younger brother and felt at a
loss. We moved in with my grandparents in Nandi. Though I wanted an education, they insisted that
education didn’t matter for girls.
So I’d wake up in the mornings, sweep the house, wash the dishes, cook breakfast, and run to school.
Despite all this, I was admitted to one of Kenya’s top high schools elsewhere. However, poverty did not
allow me to stay in school. I was constantly sent home for school fees. That was when I met Akili Dada,
a nonprofit supporting girls’ education. They offered me a scholarship, which changed my life and gave
me a new focus in life. They not only focused on educating me, but also building me as a person. For the
first time I felt empowered to focus on my schooling and appreciate the person I was. I went from the
bottom of the class to being a top student and finished high school with an A average.
In 2015, I received a MasterCard scholarship to study Management Information Systems at Ashesi
University in Ghana.This course,which combines business and computer science, is a step toward my
dream of earning a PhD and working for the United Nations （UN）.
When I was growing up in Nandi, the village had no lawyers or doctors. To fill the gap, I created a
program called Life Lifters, which aims to empower the youth to be innovative, create change, and see
value in education.
I am the first generation in my village to study abroad and I hope to inspire the youth in my area to
focus on education and create wealth for themselves. I firmly believe in the power of education for girls.
If girls understand their rights and work for them, then we can grow a society where the same value is
placed on both male and female. It shouldn’t matter whether you’re a boy or a girl-you are a human
being, which is what Akili Dada taught me. In the end I wish to be a resource to women, and the world in
general.
24. Why did the author feel at a loss at eleven?
A. The loss of parents led to an uncertain future.
B. She and her brother were sent away from home.
C. Her grandparents could hardly support her living.
D. She had to move to another village for schooling.

If a patient knew their doctor was going to give them bad information during an upcoming
appointment, they'd cancel immediately. Generative AI models such as ChatGPT, however, frequently
make stuff up to cheat our eyes. So why would anyone want to use an AI for medical purposes?
Here’s the optimistic scenario （设想）:not only do AI tools get trained on medical literature, but
they also scan patient records and smart watch data. Then, they produce personalized tips to each user,
accurate enough to be helpful. The dystopian version: governments, insurance companies, and the
medical enterprises push immature AI to cut costs, leaving patients desperate for medical care from
clinicians. Right now, it's easy to imagine things going wrong, especially because AI has already been
accused of offering harmful advice online.
"ChatGPT and other large language models are very confident, they express themselves clearly, and
they're very often wrong,"says Mark Dredze, a professor at Johns Hopkins University. Still, he is
optimistic. ChatGPT already gives advice that's comparable to the recommendations physicians offer
online, his newly published research has found. And future generative models might complement（完
善）trips to the doctor, rather than replacing consults entirely. They could help explain treatments and
conditions, such as preventing misunderstandings due to language barriers. In a more promising future,
AI systems would combine multiple data sources. Using photos, patient records, information from
wearable sensors, and more, they could deliver good care anywhere to anyone.
As medical AI develops, the industry must keep growing amounts of patient data secure. But many
hospitals already sell sensitive patient data to tech companies. Someone suggests that that information be
added to national data sets to improve medical AI models. Additionally, the government could review the
accuracy of AI tools used by hospitals and medical groups and cut off valuable funding for substandard
software. Doctors shouldn't just be handed AI tools, either, they should receive extensive training on how
to use them.

I am somewhat a hard-working woman and don't like to fail a test. Thus, you can imagine my
horror when a friend and I took an online personality test to determine levels of optimism-and I’m sadder
than Eeyore, a pessimistic cartoon figure!
I had assumed that, as an optimist like Pooh, another cartoon figure, I saw the best in people,
happier than pessimists. There was no reason to suggest this was true, but so deeply did I believe it that I
felt ashamed of my test. I tried to justify the result to my friend: it was a bad week; the weather was
depressing; I wasn't a pessimist; I was a realist. My poor pessimistic self kept explaining until my friend
put me out of my pain. Pessimism and optimism are just a state of being and we can move between the
two.
Apparently, there are three things to think about here. First, how personally do you take things? If a
friend is in a bad mood, do you assume it is to do with you, or that they're just a bit upset that day?
Optimists favour the latter and know they're not responsible for everything all around. Second, how
pervasive （遍布的） is a feeling for you? If something goes wrong, do you see it as a single incident,
or a sign that more bad luck will follow? Eeyores see a missed morning alarm as a dark sign for the
entire day. Finally, how permanent do you think a situation is? Poohs believe in the saying, "This too
shall pass," but Beyores believe a bad situation will stay that way forever.
I started to see how my current view of the world was making me a pessimist. I know I can take
things personally but,when I took the test,I was burnt out at work and feeling like I was letting everyone
down.
So, how to change? I started small-when I was feeling unhappy in a situation, I’d ask myself, "How
would a Pooh see this?" 1 repeated the saying and chose to believe in hope, because that’s what optimists
do.

32. What was the author's response to the test result?
A. She took it seriously. B. She treated it as a joke.
C. She chose to ignore it. D. She admitted its accuracy.
33. What might be a proper understanding of optimism and pessimism?
A. Optimism causes more harm than pessimism.
B. Optimism and pessimism are defined by tests.C. Both of them are just a matter of personal choice.
D. They are fixed and normally not interchangeable.
34. What might Poohs think after a possible traffic accident?
A. It is always others’ fault. B. It is a single incident.
C. It is a warning to drive less. D. It is a bad sign of misfortune.
35. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Enjoy Your Moment B. Pooh to Eeyore!
C. Believe Until You Make It D. Say No to Personality Tests!

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选
项。
Is the glass half full or half empty? As the saying teaches us, it’s about your view. But if you find
yourself viewing the glass as half-empty more often than not, you may be experiencing a scarcity
mindset （稀缺心态）. 36
The term was originally coined to describe a specific type of anxiety experienced by people whose
incomes are below the government poverty line. 37 It's often applied to other parts of life, too. Who
hasn't stayed up all night wondering what could be improved in their life if they had A, B or C?
38 The root cause could be a life-changing event that makes you focus on what you’ve
lost or are missing. This might be losing a job, climbing credit card bills or ending a relationship.
Of course, it’s easier said than done to get out of this kind of mindset. You can take baby steps
toward it. The first step is accepting that it’ll be impossible to get rid of these thoughts overnight. When
negative thoughts appear, you may tell yourself: 39 But psychologists recommend an acceptance
mindset. Tell yourself this instead: I do feel this way, but this doesn't have to totally preoccupy me.
What’s more, surround yourself with supportive, positive people. Sometimes, being around the
people constantly reminding you of what you don't have can bring out the negative thoughts running
around in your mind. 40 And find new friends that help empower your positive thoughts instead of your
negative ones. If your negative thoughts are really starting to get to you, it may be good to seek a
therapist（治疗师） who can help you.

D. This is when you become preoccupied with what you don’t have.
E. I'm not going to think about this and I’ll just ignore these feelings entirely.

When I was 13, I had an awareness that moms shoulder a lot of responsibility without a lot of
reward. My mom was no exception. She brought us to Union Station to help us buy Christmas presents
for each other-and for her. Because of Mom, my siblings（兄弟姐妹） and I would get to experience
the joy of giving. I wanted to find her something special.
The pleasant smell of chocolate reached my nose and I wanted to stay. Normally, when we came
here, the candy makers were what I wanted to see most, but today I had a mission. So, we walked on. We
explored many stores selling jewelry, purses, toys, clothing and treats, but nothing caught my eye. I just
wanted something unique for Mom. I didn't know what, but I knew I would recognize it when I saw it.Meanwhile, I wondered even though she promised to not look while we went shopping, how would
whatever I picked be a surprise?
All of a sudden, there it was, the perfect gift for her! On one of the stands sat a figurine （小塑像）
ofa lion and lamb lying down together. It would go well with a drawing of a similar scene Mom had
hung on the wall. I had heard her talk about how long she had owned the picture and who had drawn it
for her. I knew it was very special.
I turned the figurine over to check the price and couldn’t believe my eyes. I could afford it! Mom
didn't know it, but I had put some extra money in my pocket from babysitting the neighbor kids, so I had
more money than what she had given me. But she was standing nearby. No way could I make the
purchase without her knowing. A moment later, she noticed the very same figurine. I watched her eyes
light up. She picked it up and turned it over.
