Approaching 96, at an age when most are lonely and in poor health, Olga Murray, full of
energy, has been eagerly planning a trip to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, while keeping in
contact with hundreds of friends around the world. How can she be in such good shape? Is it her
good genes? (Her mother lived to 98.) Her daily salads and three-times-a-week workouts? Or
might it have something to do with the retired lawyer’s second career as founder of a nonprofit
organization?
Scientists increasingly are finding that the answer—call it living with purpose, finding
meaning in life or just engaging with something larger than yourself can be a particularly healthy
pursuit. Living with a sense of purpose can improve the quality of those final years. Murray offers
a vivid example of how to create a sense of meaning.
Murray’s story began in 1984, after she had worked 37 years as a lawyer and was starting to
think about retirement. At 59, while traveling in Nepal, Murray found herself amazed by the
children there. “They were poor beyond anything I had ever experienced,” she recalled in a self-published memoir(自传) years later. “Yet they were the most joyful little kids anywhere on earth.”
She wanted to put the rest of her life into helping educate Nepalese children.
Returning to Nepal the next year, she met Allan Aistrope, then a volunteer English teacher
at the country’s only orphanage(孤儿院). The two combined forces, beginning with organizing
college scholarships for four of the orphans. After another five years, they had launched the Nepal
Youth Foundation (NYF), which by then was supporting several hundred scholarship students and
raising 60 homeless children. In 1994, the two hired Som Paneru, a former scholarship student, as
executive director. Murray has taken several steps to make sure the NYF will survive after the
unavoidable loss of her presence. She handed over the presidency to Paneru in 2012. Now, she is
busy as usual, leading lots of fundraising campaigns.
24．How did Nepalese children impress Murray when she traveled in Nepal at 59?
A．They were eager to receive education.
B．They lived a very poor but happy life.
C．They liked to communicate with foreigners.
D．They were terribly interested in her memoir.
25．What did Murray do first when she travelled to Nepal the second time?
A．She helped four orphans go to college.
B．She started the Nepal Youth Foundation.
C．She volunteered to act as an English teacher.
D．She sent 60 homeless children to the orphanage.
26．Which best describes Murray?
A．Confident and helpful. B．Energetic and selfless.
C．Creative and professional. D．Kind-hearted and flexible.
27．What’s the best title of this text?
A．Exercise Regularly. B．Change Your Jobs.
C．Travel to Nepal. D．Live a Purposeful Life.

ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have raised concerns that chatbots will replace
many kinds of workers. Writers, editors, and customer service representatives are among the jobs
that could be affected.
Supporters reason that AI might destroy some jobs while creating others. They also saythat the technology will probably make workers more productive, benefiting themselves, their
employers and the economy. Sam Altman is the chief of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. He said
that he believes “AI is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, and this is going to change the way
that a lot of current jobs function.” Nick Bunker is an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab, part of
a job search website. He said that he does not believe the technology is going to lead to a lot of
unemployment. “We have seen other big technological events in our history, and those didn’t
lead to a large rise in unemployment. Technology destroys but also creates. There will be new
jobs that come about,” he said.
Erik Brynjolfsson of Stanford University, Danielle Li and Lindsey Raymond of MIT studied
5,200 customer-support agents at a large company. The researchers found that those who used
the chatbot were 14 percent more productive than workers who did not use the chatbot. The
workers who used AI took more calls and completed them faster.
However, the fear that AI is a threat to some kinds of jobs has a basis in reality. Suumit
Shah is an Indian business owner who announced last year that he had replaced 90 percent of his
customer-support workers with a chatbot named Lina. Shah’s company, Dukaan, helps customers
set up e-commerce sites to sell goods online. Shah said the average amount of time it took to
answer a customer’s question shrank from 1 minute and 44 seconds to “instant”. The chatbot
also cut the time needed to resolve problems from more than two hours to just over three
minutes.
28．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Bring about. B．Turn out. C．Fit in with. D．Get rid of.
29．What’s Bunker’s attitude to AI like chatbots?
A．Confused. B．Amazed. C．Acceptable. D．Concerned.
30．What does the study in paragraph 3 tell us?
A．Chatbots make workers more efficient.
B．AI is a big threat to some kinds of jobs.
C．Chatbots will destroy lots of human jobs.
D．AI is much more productive than humans.
31．How does the author organize the text?
A．By giving examples. B．By making comparisons.C．By offering suggestions. D．By listing research results.

It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang
Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind.
The team is dedicated to protecting the 45, 000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more
than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about
a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of
the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work,
repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the
great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su
Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.
Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking (剥落), as well
as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the
deposition of salts. To restore (修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know
painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics,
to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding (相应的) causes and deliver a
solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before
formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.
The restoration (修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo
(现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals
missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration.
“Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完
好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”
Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research
to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su
says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.
32．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?
A．To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals.
B．To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road.C．To stress the significance of the restoration work.
D．To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage.
33．Which of the following best describes the restoration work?
A．Creative. B．Well-paid. C．Interesting. D．Demanding.
34．What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4?
A．Spotting the faded murals in time.
B．Fixing the missing parts of murals.
C．Making preservation(保护) of the murals as they are.
D．Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings.
B．The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves.
C．The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation.
D．The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
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。
Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the
question about the sustainability (持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated
discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and
it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. 36
E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming
cultural and commercial centers. 37 Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and
Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings
such as cultural and creative products.
But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these
trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should
represent.
Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books. 38
In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a
literary culture.
A bookstore should be a heaven ( 天 堂 ) for book lovers, matching with China’slongstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese
history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends.
39 A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually
attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books.
It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends
and creative products. 40 This approach helps them create a unique identity and
ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace.
A．Physical bookstores still face a series of problems.
B．This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses.
C．Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths.
D．Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them.
E．Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection.
F．Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment.
G．That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos.

suffering. Although we road racers enjoy 41 , that day I went too far.
About 5 miles before the finish, I 42 . My jaw and left cheekbone broke. What got

frustrated. But the big 52 is that I survived.
Finally, I value my family, who offered help and sent text messages and reminders to make
me stay 53 . During my recovery, one stood out, “Recovery is more difficult than any race,but 54 always wins.”

For most people, adopting a pet is one of the best decisions that they can ever make in
their lives. In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the
owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected.
For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone
after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely.
So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home.
Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing
from living all alone.Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as
Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her
apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors.
One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There,
outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it.
Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from
her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might
have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was
scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the
people in the building.
However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't
addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote.
Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
