Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern
physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103.
Born in 1922 Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math
professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in
the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-
American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that
led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were
the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics.
Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific
and educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him
recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He
later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also
raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored
nearly 100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of
China’ s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and
technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinesescientific projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies.
After returning to Tsinghua University in 1999, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his
new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivating talents
at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development of Chinese higher
education.
Professor Yang’s life stands as a timeless chapter in human history — one that shines not only for China but
for the global community of thinkers and innovators.

Pride is often considered a negative force in human existence — the opposite of humility and a source of
social conflicts. But is it? According to psychologist Jessica Tracy, pride can have many boons. She argues that
pride, like other human emotions, is part of our evolutionary heritage, helping us to survive and thrive in
cooperative societies by inspiring us to be the best human we can be.
Pride makes us feel good, and it’s an indication to ourselves that we are behaving in a way consistent with the
values of our society. Tracy argues that those who regularly experience pride tend to be “outgoing, friendly,
agreeable, calm and honest”, and “are generally communally oriented, meaning they place a high value on their
relationships and friendships”. In this way, having pride makes people want to gain approval and respect from their
communities.
But that doesn’t mean that pride is all for the good. It has a dark side, too, when it leads to hubris. Hubris ispride that has been falsely assumed without merit in order to drive away an inner sense of insecurity. If individuals
exaggerate their importance, take credit for others’ achievements, bully others, or act aggressively toward anyone
who questions them, it’s a sign that pride has turned to hubris. Moreover, people having hubris are more likely to be
prejudiced and less likely to show empathy.
Can authentic pride lead to hubris? It depends, says Tracy. If you feel authentic pride and it inspires you to do
good by your community’s standards, great. But if you start feeling the need to live up to others’ expectations and
earn their admiration by cheating, chalices are you are leaning toward hubris.
To avoid pride slipping toward hubris, Tracy warns people not to lose their heads over the positive regard they
receive for their accomplishments. “When we start to receive the gains — be they increased status, fame, or fortune
— it becomes exceedingly easy to forget that these outcomes are indirect consequences of striving to be a good
person,” says Tracy. “We should always remind ourselves that these accomplishments are not our primary goals.”
8. What does the underlined word “boons” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. benefits. B. limitations. C. forms. D. controversies.
9. Why can pride help people develop good moral characters?
A. Pride can encourage people to work harder. B. Pride can make people value social recognition.
C. Pride can give people a sense of responsibility. D. Pride can help people better control their emotions.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. To offer a solution to hubris. B. To describe specific behavior of hubris.
C. To explain the motivation behind hubris. D. To stress the terrible consequences of hubris.
11. Which of the following can make authentic pride turn into hubris?
A. Trying to win other people’s admiration. B. Lowering expectations for achievements.
C. Failing to receive the well-deserved rewards. D. Regarding external rewards as the ultimate pursuit.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D

Like previous leaps in technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) will make the economy more productive but will
also probably hurt some workers whose skills have been devalued. But this time around, how quickly will these
effects come about? History may provide an answer.
Consider the effects of previous advances in computing. Gordon Moore was famous for his prediction that the
number of transistors (晶体管) on a computer chip would double every two years. The consequences of Moore’s
Law are most obvious in the powerful computers and smartphones that almost everyone carries around these days.
However, for at least two decades after Moore’s Law kicked in, America suffered from a productivity slowdown.The boom kicked in only during the 1990s.
Why did the advancement in computing power take so long to pay off for the economy? In 1990, the economic
historian Paul David published The Dynamo and the Computer. It drew a parallel between the effects of
information technology and those of an earlier tech revolution, the electrification of industry.
As David noted, electric motors became widely available in the 1890s. But to take full advantage of
electrification, manufacturers had to rethink the design of factories. Pre-electric factories were multistory buildings
with crowded working spaces, because that was necessary to make efficient use of a steam engine in the basement
driving the machines in the production system. It took a long time to realize that having each machine driven by its
own motor made it possible to have one-story factories with wide space allowing easy movement-of-materials. As a
result, the big productivity gains from electrification didn’t materialize until after World War II.
Sure enough, as David, in effect, predicted, the economic payoff from information technology finally kicked
in during the 1990s. But this history still presents a few puzzles. One is why the first productivity boom from
information technology was so short-lived; basically it lasted only around a decade. And even while it lasted,
productivity growth during the IT boom was not higher than it was during the generation-long boom after World
War II, which didn’t seem to be driven by any new technology.
In 1969, Peter Drucker published The Age of Discontinuity, whose title implies that the previous period of
extraordinary economic growth was actually an age of continuity. Or to put it another way, the great boom from the
1940s to around 1970 seems to have been largely based on the use of technologies that had been around for
decades, which should make us less confident in trying to use recent technological developments to predict
economic growth.
That’s not to say that artificial intelligence won’t have huge economic impacts. But history suggests that they
won’t come quickly. ChatGPT and whatever follows are probably an economic story for the 2030s, not for the next
few years.
12. When was Gordon Moore’s prediction most likely made?
A. In 1945. B. In 1965. C. In 1985. D. In 1995.
13. What can be inferred from Paul David’s account of the electrification of industry?
A. People tend to reject a new-technology when it first emerges.
B. Manufacturers are usually reluctant to adopt new technologies.
C. The design of workspace depends on the number of workers involved.
D. The availability of a technology does not guarantee its effective application.
14. What was the primary driver of the prolonged economic boom after World War II?A. Fuller use of already available technologies.
B. An era defined by technological discontinuity.
C. The launch of revolutionary new technologies.
D. Postwar recovery and global rebuilding efforts.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Impact of AI, Great but Slow
B. Tech Predictions, a Reliable Guide
C. AI, Promise of Instant Productivity
D. Computing Power, an Economic Booster

Are you an “I person” or an “E person”? These two personality labels in particular are widely discussed
online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. ____16____
“I” and “E” refer to “introverted” and “extroverted”， respectively.
___17___ This is a common point in many online discussions. For example, when an introverted person is
with a group of introverted friends, they might become more social like an “E” person.
According to psychologists, this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called “masking”. ____18____
“Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so,” wrote the MasterClass
website.
Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone’s personality seems fun. ____19____ My sister was
excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or
stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need
to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.
The MBTI personality test may show something you don’t know about yourself and can even be a fun ice-
breaker question when meeting new friends. ____20____ Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn’t mean you
really know this person. And those four letters of yours don’t define who you are.
A. And that’s all it is — for fun.
B. However, I went too far at one time.
C. Unfortunately, I was once misled by it myself.
D. That is hiding your true personality in specific situations.
E. Even someone who is typically quiet can act outgoing at times.F. There are 16 results in total, all of which consist of four letters.
G. Therefore, it is essential to remember that these labels are not absolute.

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。
It was a cool autumn morning when the school announced the annual sports day. For most students, it was a
day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy
away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts.
Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership,
always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the
relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her perseverance was hard to ignore.The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more
athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and the baton (接力棒) fell, with my knee scraped (擦伤). Embarrassed, I
wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a
team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less
alone.
As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my
classmates was touching. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial
unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging.
The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dreamed of the cheers, the applauding crowd,
and the excitement of competition. Training hard, I desired to show my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy
of victory. This event was more than a game; it meant a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it!

【答案】The day I looked forward to came eventually. My heart pounded with a mix of nervousness and
excitement as we lined up for the relay race. As the race began, the cheers from the crowd fueled my determination.
I focused on the task at hand. Each step was a testament to the weeks of practice and the support of my teammates.
But it was at the moment when I took over the baton that I collapsed onto the track, due to the sudden pain from myknee, gasping for air. We were supposed to win the championship, but in the end we ended up getting the second
place.
