Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend(传奇).At 73, he was just a
retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden
railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he'd rescued from a sale. Each day, he would
add tiny details —a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children
would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working
parents appreciated that Harold didn't mind her watching him work. He'd explain each tiny detail. Word spread.
Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold's growing landscape. Children
brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold's project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a
field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and
creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold's railroad. It went popular locally
and then regionally. People started sending him miniature( 微型的)pieces like a tiny water tower
from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering
place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing
thee controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience,
precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80,his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools
included visits into their curriculum( 课程).Retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and
historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity,
and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
1. What did Maya do to help promote Harold's project?
A. She convinced her uncle to build a website for it.
B. She invited artists and historians to visit.
C. She organized field trips for the elementary school.
D. She taught other children how to control the trains.
2. Why did Harold allow children to operate the model trains?
A. He was too old to manage the controllers himself.
B. He wanted to share the hands-on joy with them.
C. He needed to test the durability of his equipment.
D. He aimed to identify future railway engineers.
3. Which word best describes Harold's character based on his actions?
A. Ambitious.
B. Strict.
C. Humorous.
D. Patient.
4. What is the main message conveyed by the story?
A. Advanced technology is crucial for community building.
B. Professional skills are essential for creating valuable projects.
C. A personal hobby can unintentionally benefit many others.
D. Children are the key drivers of social change.
【答案】 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C
1. A 。细节理解题。解题依据在第五段："Maya convinced her uncle to create a website
showing Harold's railroad." 这与选项A 完全对应。
2. B。推理判断题。解题依据在第六段，描述孩子们操作火车时"faces lit with pure joy"。让孩童
操作精密模型体现了Harold 的分享精神与教育热情，旨在让他们体验亲手操作的乐趣，而非出于实
际需求，因此推断B 为正确选项。
3. D。人物性格题。解题需综合全文信息。Harold 每日添加微小细节、向Maya 耐心解释、允许
孩童操作火车，这些行为共同体现了他持之以恒、细致入微和乐于分享的特质，因此"Patient"（耐心
的）是最贴切的概括。
4. C。主旨大意题。解题需把握故事脉络。Harold 始于消磨时间的个人爱好，最终意外地成为社
区教育资源与联结纽带。故事核心在于展示个人兴趣的潜在社会价值及其带来的意外广泛影响，故
C 选项准确概括了主旨。
As artificial intelligence(AI)takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our
work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford
Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms(算法)can be designed to most effectively
support —rather than replace —human decision-makers.
"We don't have much work—yet—that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously,
"says Spiess.“Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it's all about 'Is AI
better than the human?”, he continues. "I think instead we should be asking,' What are the
complementary(互补的)uses of AI?'”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm
may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may
dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
"Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the
information it provides,”Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念
的)design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations —and presents a
different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants
made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary
algorithm —which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or
incorrect —made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and
those using no algorithmic support.
It's an encouraging result. "There's much promise around AI improving decisions,"
says Spiess, who's particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated(分
配)in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with
limited budgets." If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value
use cases in areas where we don't have ready or clear solutions," he says.
1. In the experiment, what was the specific task assigned to the participants?
A. Evaluating different AI algorithms.
B. Designing a conceptual framework.
C. Making a series of hiring decisions.
D. Allocating resources for schools.
2. What does Spiess's interest in "resource-limited environments" suggest?
A. AI should first be applied in wealthy areas.
B. He believes AI's greatest potential lies in solving basic problems.
C. He sees AI as a tool for addressing complex social challenges.
D. AI algorithms are only reliable in controlled experiments.
3. What does the underlined word "dismiss" in paragraph 3 most likely mean?
A. To accept willingly.
B. To reject or ignore.
C. To understand fully.
D. To improve upon.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The key to effective AI lies in its collaboration with humans.
B. AI is destined to replace human decision-makers entirely.
C. Algorithmic complexity is the primary goal of AI development.
D. Human judgment remains superior to AI in all circumstances.
【答案】 1. C 2. C 3. B 4. A
1. C。细节理解题。解题依据在第五段："...participants made 25 hiring decisions with different
levels of algorithmic assistance." 明确说明参与者的任务是做出一系列招聘决策。
2. C。推理判断题。解题依据在最后一段。Spiess 对AI 在资源有限环境（如师资分配）中的应用
感兴趣，并提到在这些"没有现成或明确解决方案的领域"存在高价值用例，由此可推断他认为AI 能
用于解决复杂的社会挑战。
3. B。词义猜测题。解题需结合第三段上下文。"if users view recommendations as overly
complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether"（如果用户认为建议过于复杂或不相关，他
们可能会___它们）。根据逻辑，用户此时会"拒绝接受"或"不予理会"这些建议，故B 为正确答案。
4. A。主旨大意题。解题需通览全文核心观点。文章开篇即提出探索算法如何"支持而非取代"人
类决策者，随后围绕"互补性"设计、考虑人机交互等展开论述，实验也证明了互补算法的有效性。
因此，文章主旨是强调人机协作是有效利用AI 的关键。
In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive(入侵的)mosquito
species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热),according to a Stanford University-led study
published on May 28h in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree
preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential
areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue
vector(媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species
increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find
unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as
vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which
were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species
and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell
somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond,
these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can
help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That's good news in
the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread
of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species
react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said
study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work
shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector
populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
1. What can be inferred about agricultural areas from the passage?
A. They have no mosquito problems at all.
B. They are the main focus of the researchers' study.
C. Their mosquito situation is between forests and residential areas.
D. They have the highest risk of dengue fever.
2. According to the researchers, what should future studies focus on?
A. How different land uses affect other disease-carrying mosquitoes.
B. The exact number of mosquito species in Costa Rica.
C. Ways to completely eliminate all mosquitoes in residential areas.
D. The relationship between tree cover and climate change.
3. What is the researchers' attitude towards tree preservation as a strategy?
A. Doubtful and cautious.
B. Positive and encouraging.
C. Critical and opposing.
D. Indifferent and neutral.
4. What is the main conclusion of the study?
A. Residential areas should be replaced with forests.
B. Climate change is the main cause of mosquito problems.
C. Agricultural development must be stopped in Costa Rica.
D. Tree preservation achieves both ecological and health benefits.
【答案】 1. C 2.A 3. B 4. D
1. C 。推理判断题。解题依据在第三段最后一句："Agricultural areas fell somewhere in
between..." 明确说明农业区的情况介于森林和住宅区之间，由此可推断C 为正确答案。
2. A。推理判断题。解题依据在最后一段首句："The researchers emphasize the need to do more
research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover." 表明需要研究其他病
媒物种对树木覆盖的反应，与A 选项相符。
3. B。观点态度题。解题需综合全文基调。第四段明确指出保护树木"能帮助保护生物多样性，同
时减少疾病传播的可能性"，并称之为"好消息"，体现了研究人员对此策略的积极和鼓励态度。
4. D。主旨大意题。解题需把握全文核心发现。研究主要表明树木覆盖通过增加物种竞争来减少
入侵蚊子，同时保护了生物多样性，实现了生态保护与健康风险降低的双重效益，故D 选项准确概
括了研究结论。
In our social lives, we often focus on deep, meaningful relationships. But researchers are discovering
that the opposite — light, everyday interactions with acquaintances — also plays a vital role in our well-being.
These are our "weak ties." 1 They are the people we might see regularly but don't know intimately,
like a friendly neighbor you greet or a barista who knows your usual coffee order.
Why are these seemingly insignificant connections so important? 2 A brief, positive chat with a
weak tie can provide a small but meaningful boost to our mood. These interactions remind us that we are part
of a broader, friendly community, which can reduce feelings of loneliness and increase our sense of
belonging.
The benefits aren't only emotional; they can be cognitive as well. 3 For instance, a casual
conversation with someone from a different department at work or a fellow hobbyist might expose you to a
new perspective or a piece of information that your close circle wouldn't have. This can spark creativity and
help you see your own challenges in a new light.
The positive effects of weak ties are backed by science. A study published in the journal Social
Psychological and Personality Science tracked people's interactions and moods. 4 On days when
they had more of these positive, minimal social interactions, their reported happiness levels were significantly
higher.
Given the evidence, it's clear that nurturing these connections is worthwhile. 5 It doesn't require
deep conversations; simply making eye contact, offering a smile, or exchanging a few friendly words can be
enough to strengthen these valuable threads in the fabric of our social world.
A. It found that even small talk with strangers contributed to well-being.
B. Strong ties, like family, provide us with essential emotional support.
C. The first reason is their power to make us feel good momentarily.
D. You might be surprised by how willing people are to connect.
E. Weak ties can also act as bridges to new ideas and information.
F. The good news is that fostering weak ties is surprisingly easy.
G. These are the friendly but arms-length relationships in our lives.
【答案】 1. G 2.C 3. E 4. A 5. F
1. G：空后句以“They are...”开头，是对空格的直接解释。G 选项“These are the friendly but
arms-length relationships...”完美地定义了“weak ties”，与后文构成“定义-举例”的逻辑。
2. C：该段首句设问，空格应直接给出原因。C 选项“The first reason is...”直接回答问题，且
后文“A brief, positive chat... boost to our mood”正是对“make us feel good momentarily”的详
细阐述。
3. E：该段首句提出好处不仅是情感上的，还有认知上的。E 选项中的“new ideas and
information” 正是认知层面的好处，且“ act as bridges” 与后文的“ expose you to a new
perspective”直接对应。
4. A：空前句提到一项研究，空格应承接说明研究发现。A 选项“It found that...”是典型的研究
发现引述，且“small talk with strangers”与本文主题“weak ties”相符。
5. F：空前句得出结论“培养这些联系是值得的”，空格后提出具体、简单的做法。F 选项“好
消息是，培养弱联系出奇地简单”完美过渡，将结论自然引向行动建议。
