Some dreams take longer to come true than others, but with the help of 21st-century social media and her
great-grandson, at the age of 110, one British woman is 1 hers at long last.
At the end of World War I, Amy Hawkins was a 7-year-old child who loved nothing more than to 2 .
As a teen, Hawkins set her 3 on becoming an entertainer. Hawkins was on her way, touring the country
with a dance troupe - until her ambition was 4 by her mom, who didn’t see it as a respectable 5
for a young lady.
All these years later, the 110-year-old lady lives at home in Monmouth, South Wales, surrounded by her loved
ones. The four-generation family unit includes her granddaughter, Hannah Freeman, and Freeman’s 14-year-old son,
Sacha. Even though she’s no longer doing it 6 , Hawkins has never stopped singing.
“She’s like a clock, once you 7 her up she won’t stop,” Freeman said in an interview. “She just
keeps asking, ‘Would you like another one?’.”
On Hawkins’ 110th birthday, Sacha 8 his great-gran singing one of her favorite WWI tunes. When
Freeman jokingly suggested Sacha post it to TikTok, neither of them could have 9 the overwhelmingly
positive response it would receive, reaching 100,000 views and a large number of emotional praises in just days.
Some journeys take longer than others. Sometimes, we’re detoured (绕路) along the way. Dreams can and do
come true every day. While it’s been a long time coming, Amy Hawkins is 10 a whole new generation
of fans.

When facing the task of deciding your major, you should remember that the decision you make doesn’t mean
you are only destined for one path.
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF AS YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION
●Do I have a career in mind?
Although your major does not necessarily dictate your career, some jobs do require a certain field of study. If
you have your future career in mind, do your research and find out the education requirements. If you are at a loss
with what you want to do, go ahead and research different career fields. A certain job might pique your interest, and
that could prompt you to pick a certain major.
●How much does money matter?
Some majors do have higher potential earnings than others. If earning a lot of money is a primary goal for
you, search for majors that pay off well. Feel free to reach out to the Career Center for more information on higher-
earning majors and careers.

On a warm afternoon at the shore, my four-year-old son, Wilson, and I headed to the beach, our favorite
evening escape. The sun was still bright as Wilson happily raced to the water’s edge, letting the waves wet him. It’s
hard to believe that not long ago, his sensitivities from autism (自闭症) kept him from approaching the beach. After
years of treatment, he now loves our seaside adventures, which fills me with joy.
We used to look for seashells to fill our bucket ( 桶). On this day, there didn’t seem to be too many shells
washed up on the shore. As we collected seashells, I searched for perfect ones, while Wilson filled our bucket with
broken pieces. I wondered why he was doing that. When I suggested finding whole shells, he simply gave me a
puzzled look and continued picking up whatever he found, content with his unique collection.
I continued my search for a while and then stopped to watch him place more broken shells into the bucket.
Again, I stopped, but this time I asked in a firm voice, “Wilson, why do you keep filling our bucket with shells that
are broken?”
He looked up at me and said, “Mom, there are more broken shells on the beach than perfect ones. We’ll fill
the bucket faster with these broken ones.”
True, I thought, but who wants a bucketful of broken shells? Wilson stared at me and said, “Mom, these shells
are broken, but they are still beautiful.”
“You’re right, Wilson,” I replied.
“And, Mom, this one looks like a smile when you hold it this way,” he said as he reached for another broken
shell. “It reminds me of a clown. This one is round like the sun.”
Tears filled my eyes as I realized my son was teaching me an important lesson. I took out the perfect shells I
had collected and placed them back on the beach. Wilson and I walked along, gathering only broken shells, and
admiring their beauty. Back at our beach house, we washed the shells and proudly displayed our “broken shell
garden”. It reminded us that none of us are perfect, but we all have unique beauty. Now, we collect only broken
shells, finding beauty in their imperfections and learning from them.
24．How did the author feel upon seeing her son’s collection of broken shells at first?
A．Annoyed.
B．Confused.
C．Inspired.
D．Amused.
25．According to this passage, it is clear that ________.

C．Wilson collected broken shells for their uniqueness
D．broken shells reminded Wilson of his illness
26．In the end, the author ________.
A．encouraged her son to find faults in shells
B．changed her view on broken shells
C．blamed her son for being unique
D．kept her belief in perfection
27．What can we learn from this passage?
A．No sweet without sweat.
B．Beauty is for a feeling heart.
C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
D．A shell in the hand is worth two in the sea.
C
Science begins with mystery. Arguably, the two greatest mysteries are the universe and awareness-the vast
world out there and the powerful world within. Scientists attracted by one can be called to study the other, led by the
thought that these mysteries are connected. Science writer George Musser’s book Putting Ourselves Back in the
Equation (方程) reviews their progress: Can physics unlock the mystery of awareness? Does awareness form the
basis of fundamental physics?
The result is an ambitious but ultimately disappointing tour, filled with breathless encounters with well-known
scientists. Representative of the cast is MIT’s Max Tegmark, who tells Musser, “If you look at the problems that
were still difficult to answer in fundamental physics, pretty much all of them trace back to awareness.”
The book shows how physicists are contributing to understanding the mind, continuing a long history of
physicists exploring other fields. Musser integrates physics with neuroscience, economies, mathematics and more.
Yet a key source of local knowledge is obviously absent — psychology. An early example: Musser rightly applauds
physicists’ contributions to artificial neural networks but is overly trustful of their implications, declaring that
“ChatGPT” is already starting to demonstrate a generalized intelligence like that of humans. Interviewing more
psychologists could have exposed the considerable gap remaining.
What about awareness itself? Why are some states associated with felt experience, such as the pain of a
headache and the sight of a sunset, but others not? Musser’s focus is integrated information theory(IIT). IIT begins
with five self-evident principles of awareness: awareness exists, and it is structured, specific, unified, and definite. It
then concludes assumptions concerning the causal structure of awareness systems, identifying awareness with
integrated information. Finally, IIT offers a mathematical measure of this quantity: an equation for awareness.
However, despite its enthusiasts, IIT has significant problems. Its working basis is unfounded, and serious
doubts surround its testability and definability. Of course, a theory of awareness must detail when, why, and to what
degree we are aware of ourselves. Here, psychology’s absence is most obvious. Over the last century, psychological
research has revealed countless phenomena of awareness, from models that alter awareness to methods that stimulate
unawareness; from extraordinary disorders of awareness to careful studies of metacognition (元认知).
Although questionable, such phenomena are the data that any scientific theory of awareness must account for.
Yet these phenomena and ideas are almost nowhere in the book. Of course, psychology has not solved awareness,
but one cannot hope to explain awareness without confronting these data.
Awareness is genuinely mysterious. So is fundamental physics. But hoping that physics can solve awareness
while excluding other approaches is only a recipe for more mystery, not less.
28．What can we learn from Musser’s book?
A．IIT is acknowledged for its testability and definability.
B．Musser underestimates the impact of artificial intelligence.
C．Using psychology is a trend for physicists exploring other fields.
D．Musser highlights physicists’ efforts to uncover the secret of awareness.
29．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The link between physics and awareness has been established.
B．There is no doubt about the principles of an equation for awareness.
C．A multidisciplinary approach is essential to understanding awareness.
D．Study of awareness needs to ignore related psychological phenomena.
30．Regarding Musser’s view in his book, the author is .
A．neutral
B．disapproving
C．supportive
D．uncertain
D
Experts frequently warn about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Sadly, the rapid
advancement of AI technology in recent years has not led to a common understanding of its risks, as it should have.
Actually, beneath the surface of AI discussions lies conflict among divided groups, which may mislead lawmakers
and the public and prevent competent regulatory measures. Understanding the motivations behind these differing
views is crucial to addressing AI’s societal impact.
The loudest perspective is a frightening vision from doomsayers (末日论者), who present AI as a threat to
human existence, capable of wiping out life and controlling everything. This doomsaying is heightened by influential
tech figures using tools like ChatGPT to shape the conversation. Some in this group focus on extreme disastrous
risks and emphasize the distant future implications of our actions. While many doomsayers claim they are
reasonable, their exaggerated concerns about hypothetical (假设的) existential risks amount to a misguided bet with
humanity’s future. Technology historian David Brock calls such fears “wishful worries” — that is, problems that it
would be nice to have, in contrast to the actual struggles of the present.
While doomsayers focus on the distant future, reformers focus on immediate issues. They view AI reform as a
matter of integrity, urging Big Tech to prioritize the public good over profit. These experts advocate for regulators to
address current harms caused by AI, such as misinformation, monitoring, and algorithmic (算法的) unfairness. They
propose initiatives like civil education for AI literacy and the design of human-centered systems to fight growing
societal inequalities.
Warriors, another group, describe AI through the language of national security and competitiveness. Their
views benefit some tech giants and government agencies. Top AI firms seek costly regulations that they claim guard
against crime and terrorism, which could secure their market dominance and limit startup competition.
Governments, tightly connected to these firms, may prioritize defense applications over moral concerns, leading to
regulatory blind spots.
In conclusion, the differing viewpoints on AI underline the complexity of addressing its societal impact. To
minimize potential harms and ensure that AI serves the public interest, it is crucial to strengthen legal frameworks
that close existing gaps and hold corporations accountable. Expanding regulatory strategies can help restrict
corporate overreach and foster transparency in AI development. Publicly directed projects can counterbalance
corporate influence, ensuring that AI benefits society as a whole. By prioritizing accountability and collective
welfare, we can shape a future where AI empowers everyone, not just a select few.
31．What is the consequence of diverse points of view on AI?
A．Enhancing our ability to tackle AI issues. B．Advancing the standardization of AI guidelines.
C．Delaying the creation of effective AI regulations. D．Breaking the integrity of current AI legal
framework.
32．The author quotes David Brock’s words in order to ______.
A．prove that AI has positive impacts B．confirm that doomsayers’ worries are justified
C．suggest that the concerns over AI are overstated D．show that current struggles have serious outcomes
33．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．A publicly directed AI project will ultimately empower the select few.
B．Reformers advocate human-centered AI systems to gain personal profits.
C．Warriors pursue dominance in national security by improving AI morally.
D．Lawmakers should toughen rules limiting corporate influence for public good.
34．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Battle over AI: Power and Benefit
B．Perspectives on AI: Individualism or Collectivism
C．The Argument about AI: Reformers vs. Doomsayers
D．Debates on the Future of AI: Innovation or Regulation

第一节 (共 4 小题； 第 40、41 题各 2 分， 第 42 题 3 分， 第 43 题 5 分， 共 12 分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
“One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” That’s a common expression, but the next time you throw
something away, think about a twist on the old saying. What if your trash could become your own treasure? Many
creative, thrifty, and environmentally minded people have come up with a way to make that happen. It’s called
upcycling. Our world would be a better place if everyone would begin upcycling.
Upcycling is the practice of taking an unwanted item and turning it into something useful. For example, how
about that pair of jeans with a hole in one knee? It could become a new pillow for your bedroom. How about the old
T-shirts you never wear anymore? It could be sewed together to make a picnic blanket. All of these are examples of
upcycling.
Upcycling is not the same as recycling. Recycling is undoubtedly good for the environment, while upcycling
is actually much better for the environment and protection of natural resources. Upcycling not only reduces the
amount of trash that goes into our landfills, but it also protects natural resources, such as oil and gas. On the other
hand, recycling takes an item made of glass, paper, metal, or plastic, breaks it down to its base material, and then
uses that material to make another product, which requires a great deal of energy. When you choose to upcycle, the
only energy you use is your own.
Upcycling also makes a family’s budget stretch further. Before you run to the store to buy something, look
around your house. Old teacups can be transformed into candles. And an old ladder can even become a bookshelf. Of
course, the idea of reusing items to save money is not new. During the Great Depression in the 1930s, many families
lived on a tight budget. People had to use what they already had in order to meet their needs. Flour sacks were used
to make clothes, and a broken door became a new table. Today we should follow the examples of our great-
grandparents and save money by upcycling.
As responsible citizens, we should all be concerned with protecting our environment and budgeting our
resources. Upcycling is a fun and creative way to help. The next time you go to toss something into the trash can,
stop and think about what it could become. Chances are, there’s a brand-new item in your hand just waiting to be
upcycled.
40．What is upcycling according to the passage?
41．Why is upcycling much better for the environment than recycling?
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
● During the Great Depression in the 1930s, people had to use what they already had in order to protect the
environment.
43．The Spring Festival is coming. Figure out one thing to upcycle. Explain what you will do with it and how it will
help with the celebration of the festival. (about 40 words)
