One day in Bronx, a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a haircut and one of his students walked in,sat down, and started looking antsy. He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a
thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back
childhood illiteracy (文盲). His non-profit, Barbershop Books, has delivered 50,000 free books to more than 200
barbershops in mainly black neighborhoods in 24 states, considering the fact that in Black American communities,
barbershops are like community centers where people gather naturally.
“So many kids associate reading with something you do in or for school,” he said. “If the only place a kid
practices the piano is during a lesson, the progress will be slow. Our program is about getting kids to say three words:
‘I’m a reader.’”
,
Irby’s program may seem straightforward but there’s a lot of thought behind it. He puts a colorful kid-sized
bookshelf in each shop, making it inviting to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on
recommendations from his target audience. The bookshelves display the covers of the books rather than the spines,
helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves, whether they’re in the barber’s
chair or they’re waiting on their dad or friend. And Irby involves the barbers in his mission — training them to engage
kids about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them
about how they like reading, how funny a book was or tell them about another book another kid was reading.”
Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop,
to bring in extra income, but he was willing to quit that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting
rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an
impact.”
“These books, I would say, have power,” 8-year-old boy Chance said. That’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m
just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s
what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.”
4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Restless. B. Serious. C. Relieved. D. Joyful.
5. Why does the program appeal to children?
A. Because it expresses children’s requirements. B. Because it shows children’s characteristics.
C. Because it protects children’s security. D. Because it considers children’s preferences.
6. What made Denny Moe give up the video games finally?
A. That he wanted to attract more customers. B. That he wanted to make a difference.
C. That he wanted to bring in more money. D. That he wanted to meet different demands.
7. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Black Kids, Potential Big ReadersB. Free Books, Good Way to Pay Back
,
C. Colourful Covers Nice Try to Attract Kids
D. Small Barbershops, Treasure House to Start Reading

Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne (UC) in Germany
have developed an AI-based learning system.
The idea is simple yet effective: a webcam (网络摄像头) tracks students’ eye movements. Maike Schindler, a
math professor from the UC, and her team have designed hundreds of math tasks involving basic math skills.
Depending on the task, specific patterns appear, which are shown digitally on a heat map, with red indicating areas
where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly. Confident students
quickly get to key problem areas, while struggling ones often look aimlessly.
“Tracking eye movements helps recognize different learning strategies through patterns and finally create
detailed support reports for teachers,” says Maike Schindler. “The AI system sorts the patterns. On the basis, the
software selects tailored learning videos and exercises for the pupil,” says robotics professor Achim Lilienthal from
the TUM.
To develop the new eye-tracking technology, Professor Lilienthal has drawn on his robotics research experience.
In that work, he used eye trackers with a small human-like robot named Nao. It enables better communication with
humans. However, these advanced systems with high accuracy cost many thousands of euros.
To find a better solution for schools, the researchers cleverly mix technical experience with math knowledge.
Instead of using high-end eye-trackers, their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy
through AI improvements. “By focusing on problem areas, the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam, achieving
accuracy comparable to high-end tools,” professor Lilienthal says.
Germany’s Wulfen Comprehensive School is the first to introduce the system. A math test there showed that
about one-third of the new students struggled with basic math. With the AI system, one teacher can now support five
students at once — a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching. “As education faces teacher
shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills
is simply excellent support for schools,” says Schindler.
8. What is the function of the heat map?
A. Presenting students’ focus areas.
B. Measuring the difficulty of math tasks.
C. Tracking the eye movements of students.
D. Comparing students’ problem-solving speeds.9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The system’s advantages in recognizing eye problems.
B. The system’s role in supporting personalized learning.
C. The system’s challenges in tracking student behavior.
D. The system’s progress in upgrading specific patterns.
10. Which best describes the AI-driven eye-tracking technology?
A. Helpful but slow. B. Simple and relaxing.
C. Creative but costly. D. Affordable and effective.
11. What does Wulfen Comprehensive School get from the system?
A. Reduction in teacher training. B. Adaptation to learning needs.
C. Inspiration for advanced math. D. Absence of human judgment.
D
Warming seas across the globe are endangering coral reefs (珊瑚礁), a key ecosystem that supports marine life
to live and thrive. As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups
of adult corals for the first time, according to a recent study.
Freezing biological materials, or “cryopreserving” them, refers to keeping them in a deep freeze for long periods
without affecting the cell’s viability (活性), according to the Science Times website.
This method usually cools them to very low temperatures, commonly to -196℃. Since cells would normally die
at such a low temperature due to the formation of ice inside, scientists need to monitor the freezing rate and choose
the freezing medium carefully.
Researchers in the US experimented with freezing pea-sized pieces of a common coral in Hawaii. After removing
the microbes on the corals, they sealed the corals in metal containers filled with a chemical solution that partially
dehydrated (脱水) them and helped control ice growth.
When the corals reached a temperature of around -200℃, the remaining water in the corals solidified into a
glassy form. The corals were still alive, with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow. After being
cryopreserved for a few minutes, the researchers pulled the corals out and placed them in warm water. In two minutes,
they started consuming oxygen — a sign of them staying alive.
Previously, researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae (幼虫), according to a study in 2018.
However, the larvae can only be collected when corals lay eggs, which happens just a few nights each year. “That’s
putting a lot of eggs in one basket,” US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News.
This breakthrough offers more hope to the world’s corals, said Roger. However, there’s more work to be done.
A few days after thawing (解冻), the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteriathey normally live in harmony with. The researchers are working on using antibiotics to help them survive for a
longer period of time.
12. What is the purpose of the recent study?
A. To bring dead corals back to life. B. To freeze and revive coral larvae.
C. To find a way to preserve corals. D. To study the conditions of coral growth.
13. What happened to the corals when they were cryopreserved?
A. They died for the time being. B. Their life functions slowed down.
C. They remained alive and unchanged. D. They fed on microbes in the containers.
14. What does Roger think about cryopreserving coral larvae?
A. It is not a reliable solution. B. It needs a large number of eggs.
C. It holds promise for restoring corals. D. It requires overly expensive technology.
15. What issue do the researchers still need to approach?
A. Finding a suitable freezing medium. B. Identifying the bacteria on the corals.
C. Expanding the collection of coral larvae. D. Maintaining the corals’ health after thawing.

Last weekend, our school painting club was set to host a major exhibition on Monday. As the person
responsible for the event, I was busy with the preparations. The room was filled with both excitement and pressure.
I was carefully placing each painting in the right place, making sure they were perfectly spaced. At the same time, I
was setting up the lighting to show the details of the artworks and preparing the informational cards that would go
with each piece. The clock was running, and I had a mountain of tasks to complete.
In the middle of all this, I realized that Mike, who was supposed to help with the setup, was nowhere to be
found. Just as I was about to call him to check where he was, my phone rang. It was Mike. “I’m really sorry for not
being there on time,” he said, his voice filled with worry. “My mom suddenly fell ill, and I have to stay with her.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to help today.”
Realizing the seriousness of his situation, I asked him to take care of his mother. I understood family always
came first. However, there was a lot of work to be done, and Mike’s absence left a big gap in our preparations. He
was supposed to help with setting up the larger paintings and managing the guestbook. Other members of our team
had their own tasks to complete. With no one else around at that moment, I was at a loss what to do. I couldn’t hide
my growing frustration.
As I stood there, trying to figure out a solution, my friend John happened to walk by. Noticing the worried
look on my face, he came to my side and asked if something was wrong. I quickly explained the situation, telling
him that Mike’s sudden absence had messed up our schedule. John listened carefully and then said, “It sounds like
you need someone to step in and take over some of the tasks. I can help out.” Hearing his words, the weight lifted
off me.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。John then came to work on the tasks with our team.
