The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm.
As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks
a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my
grandmother’s recipe.
Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to
cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries
— Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months.
My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my husband
and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my
sister and her husband.
According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average
weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an
hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.
Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines
produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates
becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen
requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables,
she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.”
24. What do we know about the author’s mother from paragraph 2?
A. She has great cooking skills.
B. She has more than two children.
C. She lives with the author in Korea.
D. She invented the family beloved breakfast classic.

A. To show her mother’s love.
B. To present a common problem.
C. To stress the importance of home-cooked meals.
D. To explain the reasons behind infrequent cooking.
26. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Her mother dislikes being bothered. B. Her mother expects perfection in cooking.
C. Her mother gets angry easily. D. Her mother wants to teach her everything.
27. What is the key message conveyed in the text?

C. Mother’s selflessness inspires my family. D. Mother’s kitchen draws us closer together.

Can doctors make better cancer treatment decisions if they consult fish? Previous studies have shown that
zebrafish avatars could help identify cancer treatments. Rita Fior, a developmental biologist and her colleagues
now want to determine whether that ability can benefit patients.
Zebrafish avatars are tiny, fast-growing models of individual cancer patients created by transplanting the
patient’s own tumor (肿瘤) cells into 2-day-old zebrafish embryos (胚胎). These tiny fish then act as living
substitutes for the patient, allowing researchers to test multiple cancer drugs or radiation on the patient’s tumor
cells within 4-7 days — far quicker than traditional mouse models.
In a 2024 report in Nature Communications, the scientists generated avatars for 55 patients and putting
the fish on the same type of chemo-therapy the people received. For 50 of the patients, the fish “predicted” the
outcome of treatment. An added benefit, Fior says, is that avatars can reveal key characteristics of tumors such
as whether they are likely to spread.
Zebrafish are more similar to humans than cell cultures (细胞系培养) and far cheaper to raise than mice.
The small, transparent embryos are also easier to analyze, says Sofia de Oliveira, a biologist at the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine. “You can visualize the whole animal under the microscope,” she explains, “and
easily determine the spread of cancer cells.”
In the clinical trial, Fior and her team will test that promise by separating cancer cells from the fluid that
builds up in the stomach of people whose cancer cells have spread outside the original site and is usually
drained as part of treatment. “We are not doing an extra procedure on the patients,” she says. The cells will
then be implanted into the fish embryos. Instead of testing experimental drugs, as many other clinical trials do,
the study will determine which combination of treatments works best. Most of the patients will receive
medications suggested by the zebrafish results.
28. What are zebrafish avatars?
A. Models of mouse embryos. B. Radiation on the tumor cells.
C. Drugs for multiple cancers. D. Replacements for cancer patients.
第5页/共11页29. How do zebrafish avatars help doctors with cancer treatments?
A. By forecasting treatment results.
B. By predicting where tumors will spread.
C. By killing tumor cells in cancer patients.
D. By transplanting zebrafish cells into humans.
30. What makes zebrafish an ideal species for cancer research?
A. Their similarity to cell cultures. B. Their low cost and ease of analysis.
C. Their small sizes and dark embryos. D. Their complex appearance and structure.
31. What is the primary goal of the clinical trial led by Fior and her team?
A. To develop new experimental drugs for cancers.
B. To test the safety of chemo-therapy on zebrafish.
C. To separate cancer cells from the fluid of patients.
D. To identify the ideal combination of cancer therapies.

A tool, called Nightshade, lets artists add invisible changes to their art before they upload it online to fight
back against AI companies that use their work to train AI models without the creator’s permission. Using it to
“poison” this training data could damage future image-generating AI models by making some of their outputs
useless — dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth.
Generative AI models are excellent at making connections between words, which helps the “poison”
spread. Nightshade infects not only the word “dog” but all similar concepts, such as “puppy,” “husky,” and
“wolf.” The poison attack also works on indirectly related images. For example, if the model scraped (抓取) a
“poisoned” image for the prompt (提示词) “fantasy art”, the prompts “dragon” and “a castle in The Lord of
the Rings” would similarly be transformed into something else.
Some AI companies are facing a number of lawsuits (诉讼) from artists who claim that their copyrighted
material and personal information was scraped without permission or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at
the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the
power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by showing respect for artists’ copyright and
intellectual property.
Zhao admits there is a risk that people might abuse the data “poisoning” technique for evil uses. However,
he says attackers would need thousands of “poisoned” samples to cause real damage to larger, more powerful
models, as they are trained on billions.
AI companies have offered to let artists opt (选择) out of having their images used to train future versions
of the models. But artists say this is not enough. Eva Toorenent, an illustrator and artist, says opt-out policies
require artists to jump through hoops and still leave tech companies with all the power. She hopes Nightshade
will change the current situation and AI companies will think twice before they act.
32. What do we know about Nightshade from the first paragraph?
A. It helps artists to fight for lawful rights. B. It warns netizens of the online danger.
第6页/共11页C. It reminds artists of stolen works. D. It “poisons” AI companies’ output.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The way the “poison” spreads. B. The targets the “poison” attacks.
C. The types of transformed images. D. The advantage of AI models.
34. How does Eva Toorenent look at the opt-out policy?
A. Thankful. B. Fearful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Positive.
35. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text?
A. Nightshade: Useless Output Creator B. Nightshade: Data “Poison” Technology
C. Nightshade: Artists’ Rights Protector D. Nightshade: Image-generating Model

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never fun. 36 The answer is clear. History is essential
in human civilization. Learning history helps you learn its significance.
History grounds us in our roots. History is an interesting field of study, and learning the history of our
homeland can offer a deeper glimpse into our pasts. 37 Many people feel like they need a sense of
cultural belonging, which is about studying your roots and being open-minded to the today’s evolution.
38 Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and
economic life of the people living long time ago. Experts argue that problems faced by people regardless of
the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced
in handling challenges of life.
History makes us more empathetic (共情的). Studying history can give us insight into why our culture
does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now. It also provides a strong foundation
for empathy across cultures. Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance. 39 History can
break down those boundaries.
History can inspire us to learn more. What’s fantastic about history is the way it broadens horizons. It’s
impossible to learn about one historical period without knowing related concepts. Study the 19th century
England, and you’ll be amazed by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist. 40 Or maybe you end up switching
your attention away from his novels, and discover the history of England.
The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don’t have to live in the past, but we can definitely do
better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.
A. History enriches our experience.
B. History helps us behave like ancestors.
C. We’re scared of the things that we don’t understand.
D. And it also leads to how we got to where we are today.
E. If you’re studying history, ask yourself why history is important.
F. This book is so attractive that it enjoys popularity in the past and present.
第7页/共11页G. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.

And with that, the annual McKay Family Christmas Eve Pozole dinner was 51 for another year.
Our complaints about Christmas Eve dinner are now a (an) 52 memory that my family still jokes
about today. What’s interesting is that even though Larry and I hated pozole, we both remember feeling really
53 of our family’s Christmas tradition as kids. We’d 54 about our “weird” red soup at school, secretly
pleased that our holiday was different. 55 , pozole was unpleasant, but it made our family unique.

It was a sunny Friday afternoon. Kevin’s assignment was to record the 400-meter race in the sports meet.
All the students in his class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was
considered the one most likely to win the race. Even, unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing
beside the track and stretching himself.
“Tommy! I bet you’ll win.” Kevin yelled at him.
“Just wait and see!” A big smile spread across his face.
“May I have your attention, please? All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office.” A
gentle voice caught everyone’s attention.
“Tommy, your show time!” Kevin shouted and gave him a thumb-up.
Then, all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line.
Taking the best recording location, Kevin raised his smartphone, ready to shoot.
With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting
line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from long-term training. But
there was one problem for Kevin — he had to spare every effort to control his excitement in order to keep his
shooting picture stable.
“Come on, Tommy!” Still, Kevin could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed
that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath,
第9页/共11页maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step.
Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the
second-place finisher. How Kevin wish he could rush to Tommy and give him a big bear hug! But Kevin could
not. He had to finish recording the whole race, so he waited until the last competitor crossed the finish line.
Suddenly, Kevin noticed there was an unusual noise from the crowd. Tommy was ranked second on the
scoreboard.
