解题思路
1. 细节理解题 - 精准定位,一字一句
核心目标:查找并确认文中明确表述的特定信息。
解题技巧:
关键词定位法:阅读题干,圈定人名、地名、数字、日期、专有名词等关键标识词,迅速返
回原文查找。
同义替换意识:正确答案往往不是原文原词,而是进行同义转述。例如,原文是 “The project
was initiated in 2020”,选项可能是 “The project started three years ago” (假设当前是2023 年)。
“题文同序”原则:题目顺序通常与信息在文中出现的顺序一致,可帮助缩小查找范围。
警惕干扰项:常见干扰项设计包括:张冠李戴、无中生有、偷换概念(如改变时态、情态动
词)、绝对化表述(如only, never, all)。
2. 推理判断题 - 读出“弦外之音”
核心目标:基于文本事实,进行合理逻辑推导,揣测作者意图、观点或隐含意义。
解题技巧:
立足文本,拒绝臆想:所有推断必须有文本依据,不能脱离文章凭常识或个人经验判断。
关注“信号词”:
表因果:because, since, as a result, therefore, thus → 可推断事件原因或结果。
表转折:but, however, yet, unfortunately → 可推断作者的真实态度或强调的重点。
表让步:although, though, while → 可推断矛盾双方的主次。
识别作者观点:注意区分客观事实与作者主观评价。表达观点态度的词汇常为形容词(e.g.,
successful, promising, disappointing)、副词(e.g., unfortunately, hopefully)或引用他人评价。
结论合理性:正确选项通常是 “温水煮青蛙”式的温和结论,如 “The method is promising
but requires further testing.” 而过于绝对、极端或跨越文本信息的选项通常不选。
3. 主旨大意题 - 高屋建瓴,把握全局
核心目标:抓住文章的中心思想或选择最贴切的标题。
解题技巧:
首尾段定位法:新闻报道的导语(首段)和结尾段通常是主旨的高度概括,必须精读。
主题句定位法:段落的首句或尾句常是该段的主题句。将各段主题句串联起来,有助于归纳
全文主旨。
核心词复现法:贯穿全文、反复出现的关键词或其同义词,是确定主旨的重要线索。
标题甄选原则:最佳标题应具备概括性、针对性和吸引性。它必须覆盖全文核心,不能只涉
及局部细节,同时要符合新闻标题简洁、醒目的特点。范围过大或过小的选项都不选。
4. 词义猜测题 - 顺藤摸瓜,巧用语境
核心目标:利用上下文线索推测生词或短语的含义。
解题技巧:
寻找定义或解释:作者有时会使用同位语、定语从句或直接解释生词。线索词:that is,
meaning, refer to, namely, in other words,破折号、括号。
利用举例:例子往往能揭示词义。线索词:such as, for example, like, including。
利用对比或类比关系:通过反义词或相似事物来推测。线索词:but, however, unlike, on the
contrary, similarly, like。
利用因果关系:从原因或结果推断词义。线索词:because, since, as a result, therefore, thus,
so。构词法分析:将单词拆解前缀、词根、后缀来帮助理解。

We asked readers of The New York Times to tell us about effective environmental fixes underway. And we
had received more than 2,400 submissions.
Native plants were especially popular. We received more than 100 submissions from people who planted
pollinator-friendly (传粉者友好的) gardens in backyards and abandoned lots, creating habitat that supports beneficial
insects and birds. We heard about how your children were making a difference, too. A reader from Michigan told us
about her high-school daughter who, in 2023, at age 14, began planting native trees in their community to help fight
climate change and started a grassroots organization called Plant It Forward. Others wrote to tell us about state
programmes, like Whole Home Repairs, in Pennsylvania, which helps low-income property owners improve energy
efficiency, add rooftop solar panels and make repairs. We heard about regenerative farming, solar panel
installations (安装), food forests, neighbourhood compost sites and ecological projects.
We also received submissions from around the world. One reader in the Netherlands shared with us Amsterdam’s
plan to install flights of steps to help prevent cats and other animals from drowning in the city’s canals. Victoria Bohm
wrote from Calgary, Alberta, where she is involved with Alberta Native Plant Rescue, a group that saves native plants
from grassland and pastures that are planned for construction, and uses the plants for ecological restoration as well
as in home and community gardens.
1. What role do native plants play?
A.Making deserted lots used again.
B.Offering shelter for beneficial wildlife.
C.Preventing the spread of foreign species.
D.Enhancing property values of the community.
2. What are the flights of steps in Amsterdam intended to do?
A.Ensure safety for wild animals near waterways.
B.Enhance the visual appeal of canal-side walkways.
C.Create additional seating areas for public gatherings.
D.Allow for convenient boat stops throughout the canals.

Known as the “Noah’s Ark (诺亚方舟) For Plants”, the Gurukula Botanical Reserve in Kerala, India, protecting
valuable plant species damaged by deforestation, urbanization, and climate change, is carefully tended by a team of
20 mostly local women.
It began in 1981 when Wolfgang Theuerkauf, a German conservationist, was gifted seven acres of old-growth
rainforest. Back then, the surrounding land was being cleared for tea and fruit plantations (种植园). Wolfgang quickly
acted when he saw the ancient rainforest, holding diverse plant species, start to disappear. He began to collect
endangered plants, bringing them back to his land, where the Reserve was initially created. He employed and trained
women of the local, rural communities. Though lacking formal education, the women were familiar with their
surroundings. They learned through hands-on experience: transplanting, observing, and persevering through trial and
error.
1.What motivated Wolfgang to start the Reserve?
A.The request from tea growers.
B.His commitment to the gifted land.
C.The loss of the local rainforest.
D.His determination to fight climate change.

The Xiaomi SU7 Accidents: Who Is to Blame?
In late March 2025, a Xiaomi SU7 Standard Edition crashed into a concrete barrier on a highway in Anhui,
triggering widespread debate over liability for smart car accidents. Weeks later, multiple SU7 owners reported
collisions during automatic parking, with Xiaomi confirming software bugs as a contributing factor. These incidents
have cast doubt on the safety of new-energy vehicles (NEVs) and the blurred lines of responsibility in the age of
intelligent driving.
The highway crash unfolded at 22:44 on March 29. The vehicle, traveling at 116km/h in NOA (Navigation on
Autopilot) mode, encountered a construction zone where lanes were diverted using barriers. Xiaomi’s statement noted
the car detected obstacles, issued warnings, and began decelerating, yet just 2 seconds later, the driver took over
manually. Despite continued braking, the SU7 hit the barrier at approximately 97km/h, leading to fatalities.
Key controversies emerged immediately. First, the 2-second window for driver intervention sparked questions
about NOA’s design. At 116km/h, the car covers roughly 64 meters in 2 seconds, while the SU7’s official 100km/h
braking distance is 33.5 meters, but this is under ideal test conditions, not nighttime highway scenarios with sudden
lane changes. Second, the SU7 Standard’s AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) system only responds to vehicles,
pedestrians, and two-wheelers, failing to detect construction barriers. Experts pointed out that this limitation left the
driver solely reliant on split-second reactions.
The automatic parking incidents added another layer of complexity. In mid-November 2025, owners across
China described the SU7 veering into other cars or pillars during automated parking. One driver reported two
consecutive failures: “The first time it rushed toward a vehicle; the second time, it hit a column without any collision
warning.” Xiaomi’s customer service acknowledged software bugs but emphasized drivers must “take over
immediately” if obstacles like bushes or wires are present — limitations not prominently disclosed in marketing
materials.
1. What contributed to the highway crash, according to the passage?
A.The SU7’s failure to issue obstacle warnings
B.The insufficient braking distance of the SU7 Standard
C.The driver’s delayed response within the given time window
D.The AEB system’s inability to detect construction barriers
2. Why did the automatic parking incidents raise public concern?
A.Xiaomi’s marketing materials hid the function’s limitations
B.The software bugs were caused by recent OTA updates
C.The ultrasonic radar failed to detect all types of obstacles
D.Drivers were unable to take over due to system malfunctions

解|题|技|巧
1. 寻找言外之意:推理题答案不会直接陈述在文中,需要从作者的措辞、语气和事实描述中推断。
例2-1:Mark 说“It’s been a joy watching them grow...He takes pleasure in...” → 推断出他“获得
了个人成就感”(D 项),而非直接说“我感到满足”。
2. 把握情感态度词:关注体现情感色彩的词汇:joy, pleasure, satisfied, worried, unfortunately, lucky 等。
例2-1:通过“joy”、“pleasure”推断出正面情感和成就感。
例2-2 第2 题:通过“lucky”和对其保护意义的肯定,推断出Zan Linsen“欣慰且高兴”(B 项)。
3. 综合信息进行逻辑推断:将分散的信息点连接起来,得出合理结论。
例2-2 第1 题:综合“地方政府出台四项禁令”、“中央政府安排专项资金”、“启动人工繁
育”等多个事实 → 推断出“政府发挥了关键作用”(C 项)。
4. 识别观点与事实:区分客观事实与人物/作者的主观观点,推理常基于观点或事实的隐含意义。
例2-2 第2 题:Zan Linsen 的话“It is lucky...”和“The conservation story...shows...”属于个人评价
和观点,由此推断其情感态度。
5. 关注转折与强调句:But, However, Yet 之后的内容往往是语义重点和推理依据。
例2-1 段首:“Many people noted that their efforts often felt small. But the joy, satisfaction and
pride...shone through.” 转折后强调的“喜悦与自豪”是推理的关键氛围。
注|意|事|项
1. 推理必须有文本依据:所有推断必须源于文本,不能是毫无根据的主观臆测或过度引申。
例2-1:不能因Mark 种树就推断他“以种植为生”(B 项)或认为这是“每个公民的责任”(C 项),
文中均无依据。
2. 避免过度推理:推理应是合理的、一步到位的结论,不要添加过多假设。
例2-2 第1 题:政府颁布了禁猎令,但不能过度推理出“持枪非法”(A 项)或“狩猎是最大威
胁”(D 项),文中信息不足以支持这些绝对化结论。
3. 紧扣主题与上下文:推理需符合文章主旨和具体语境,孤立看待细节容易误判。
例2-2 全文主题是“朱鹮保护的成功”,因此第2 题的推理方向应是积极、肯定的。
4. 区分作者观点与人物观点:明确题目问的是作者的观点还是文中某个人物的观点。
例2-2 第2 题明确问“How does Zan Linsen feel...”,因此需根据他的言论进行推断,而非作者
或其他人的观点。

As an audio engineer with two decades of experience, Patrick Helen has long been captivated by how sound
shapes human emotion. But it was a 2018 encounter with a deaf teenager — who described music as “a blank space”
despite feeling bass vibrations at concerts — that sparked his mission: to turn invisible sound into tangible touch,
letting the hearing-impaired “hear” music through their skin.
After three years of research and development (R&D) and 117 prototype iterations, Helen unveiled the
TactiSound Suit in 2021. The lightweight, wearable suit is embedded with 24 micro-vibration sensors, each calibrated to
capture distinct sound frequencies: low bass notes trigger gentle rumblings in the waistband, mid-range melodies
pulse on the forearms, and high-pitched harmonies create subtle vibrations near the shoulders. A wireless receiver
connects the suit to any audio source — from concert speakers to smartphones — converting sound waves into precise
tactile signals in real time.
For the deaf and hard of hearing, the suit is transformative. In a 2023 trial at Peterborough’s Royal National
Institute for Deaf People, 89% of participants reported “feeling the structure of music” for the first time. Mia Carter, a
19-year-old deaf student, described her experience at a classical concert: “The violin’s vibrato moved up my arm like
a breath, and the cello’s bass made my chest feel full — like I was hugging the music.” Beyond entertainment, Helen
designed the suit to be accessible: it’s machine-washable, battery-powered for 12 hours, and is priced 30% lower than
similar assistive devices.
Helen’s vision extends further. He’s partnering with music schools to integrate TactiSound into deaf education,
and plans to add customizable vibration patterns for different genres-jazz’s syncopation might feel like quick taps on
the wrists, while opera’s crescendos could build from the ankles to the chest. “Music isn’t just about hearing,” he
says. “It’s about feeling connected to something bigger. This suit is just a tool to give that connection back.”
1. Why does the author include Mia Carter’s experience in Paragraph 3?
A.To promote the product’s affordability.
B.To emphasize the suit’s technical specifications.
C.To compare classical and modern music effects.
D.To illustrate the emotional impact of the suit on users.
2. Where is this text most likely from?
A.A product advertisement.
B.A science and technology news report.
C.A biography of Patrick Helen.
D.A music education textbook.

In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program,
handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks
said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add
money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to
save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive
director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed
$291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four,
state officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly
last year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations
draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the
shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
1. What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Large and significant amount.
B.Very small or insignificant part.
C.Critical investment for the future.
D.Wasteful and unnecessary expense.

doctors to perform surgery around the world and help people in rural or less wealthy areas, where access to
medical care is limited.(Patel 认为,机器人技术将让医生能够在全球范围内开展手术,并为医疗资源有限的
农村地区或欠发达地区民众提供帮助。)”可知,全文围绕“美国医生通过远程机器人为非洲患者做手术”

From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly 40 years bringing
back crested ibises (朱鹮) from the edge of extinction.
………..
Years of constant effort have brought promising results. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 crested
ibises in the world now, and about half of them live in Shaanxi. The bird’s habitat in China has risen from less than
five square kilometres in 1981 to the current 15,000 km2.
“It is lucky that the crested ibis, an ancient bird, is still flying around,” said Zan Linsen, head of the Shaanxi
Academy of Forestry. “The conservation story of crested ibises not only shows us the power of ancient life but also
the necessity and urgency of ecological environment protection.”
1. Which could be a suitable title for the text?
A.Artificial Breeding of Crested Ibises in China

归”精准概括了全文核心,适合作为标题。故选D 项。
解|题|技|巧
1. 抓住首段核心句:新闻报道通常采用“倒金字塔”结构,首段(导语) 往往包含最重要的信息:
Who, What, When, Where, Why, How。首段是提炼主旨最关键的地方。
例3-2:首段“From the world’s last seven to a global population of more than 5,000, China spent nearly
40 years bringing back crested ibises from the edge of extinction.” 清晰揭示了文章核心——朱鹮种群
的恢复。
2. 关注尾段总结与展望:结尾段常包含事件的结果、意义、未来展望,对确定主旨有重要补充作用。
例3-1:尾段提到该技术将“帮助医疗资源有限的地区”,点明了突破性意义。
3. 寻找高频复现词:贯穿全文的核心词汇(名词、动词)是确定主旨的关键线索。
例3-2:全文核心词是 “crested ibises”, “protection/conservation”, “population”, “habitat”。
4. 综合各段大意:快速浏览各段首句,将其意思串联起来,可以勾勒出文章的完整脉络和核心思想。
例3-2:首段(复苏成果)→ 中间段(保护措施:禁令、资金、繁育)→ 尾段(意义),综合得
出“濒危动物成功回归”的主旨。
5. 识别“叙事弧线”:许多新闻报道遵循一个“问题-解决方案-结果/影响”的叙事结构。抓住这个结
构,就能把握主旨。
例3-2:问题:朱鹮濒临灭绝(仅存7 只)。解决方案:政府实施多项保护措施。结果/影响:种群
数量大幅恢复(超5000 只)。
注|意|事|项
1. 避免以偏概全:错误选项常是文中提到的某个细节,而非统揽全文的核心事件。
例3-1:A 项“非洲癌症新疗法”是手术的目的,而非事件核心。
o
B 项“手术中医务人员的未来”和C 项“FDA 的作用”都是文中细节,并非主旨。
2. 区分“事实”与“主题”:主旨是文章的中心思想,是多个事实共同说明的一个核心观点,而非事
实本身。
例3-2:各项保护措施是“事实”,它们共同说明的“朱鹮成功回归”才是“主题”。
3. 警惕“过度拔高”或“范围过大”:选项表述可能看似正确,但超越了文章论述的范围,或过于空
泛。
例3-1:若标题为“机器人技术的未来”,则范围过大,文章只聚焦于其在远程手术中的应用。
4. 选择具体、准确的表述:最佳标题应精准概括文章内容,既不过宽,也不过窄。
例3-2 的D 项“Endangered Crested Ibises Making a Comeback”(濒危朱鹮喜迎回归)就比B 项
“Rare Animals in China: Crested Ibises”(中国稀有动物:朱鹮)更具体、动态地反映了“从濒
危到恢复”的过程。
5. 注意标题的吸引力与概括性:好的新闻标题通常简洁、醒目,并能抓住事件的新闻价值(如突破、
转折、成就等)。
例3-1 的“A Breakthrough in...”(一项突破)和例3-2 的“Making a Comeback”(回归)都很好
地体现了新闻价值。

Exciting news is on the horizon as California power authorities have successfully completed their
groundbreaking solar panel-covered canal project, which promises to generate a remarkable 1.6 megawatts (兆瓦) of
clean energy. This innovative initiative, led by the Turlock Irrigation District Water & Power, plays a vital role
in irrigating (灌溉) essential crops like cotton and tomatoes in the heart of California’s central valley.
The inspiration for this project came from a 2021 research paper by scientists at the University of California,
Santa Cruz, who discovered that covering canals with solar panels could save an astonishing 63.5 billion gallons of
water from evaporation (蒸发) each year. This brilliant idea not only conserves water but also offers an incredible
benefit: for every megawatt of solar energy produced during Turlock’s average 290 sunny days, the panels could
replace 15-20 diesel (柴油) generators that traditionally pump water along these canals.
Known as Project Nexus, this initiative took flight in October 2022. It stands out in the world and the second
of its kind in the US. The project will be closely monitored to see how its performance matches the promising
projections.
The concept of placing solar panels over canals isn’t new; it first emerged in 2014 in Gujarat, India, where a
pilot project successfully covered a stretch of canal and paved the way for an entire canal-topped solar plant.
Researchers in India found that the water beneath the panels helped maintain ideal temperatures, leading to a 2-5%
improvement in efficiency.
In addition to conserving water and minimizing land use for solar farms, the panels’ unique placement helps
extend their lifespan by keeping them cooler. This innovative approach also limits the growth of harmful plants along
the canals, reducing the need for manual or chemical clearing.
With about 4,000 miles of canals across California, the potential for taking advantage of solar energy is
tremendous, with estimates suggesting they could generate up to 13 gigawatts of power. This would be enough to
supply energy to around 750,000 homes, effectively lighting up nearly half of Los Angeles.
1. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.How Canals Can Help Save Energy
B.California’s Fight for Water Supply
C.Solar panels: A New Use for Canals
D.Project Nexus: A Solar Success Case

In April 2022, the California State Library and California State Parks launched the three-year pilot program,
handing out the passes to all public library branches across the state including mobile libraries. California State Parks
said in a statement that it was “very proud” of the program, but did not indicate that a revised budget would add
money to extend the program.
With the library program at risk, the CSP Foundation, a large advocacy group, has raised a battle cry to try to
save it, writing to the government and launching a campaign that’s got 1,800 signatures. Rachel Norton, executive
director of the foundation, said funding for the project was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed
$291.5 billion budget.
As of last year, each library branch in California had an average of 24 parking tags, up from an initial four,
state officials said. Cocking said San Francisco has 611 passes in circulation, a number that increased significantly
last year. Librarians said the passes are especially popular in the spring and summer, when warm weather and vacations
draw people to the Golden State’s great outdoors. “It’s like travel books.” Cocking said. “Travel books sit on the
shelf a lot of the year, and then as it gets closer to summer, they’re all checked out.”
1. What does the underlined part “a drop in the bucket” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Large and significant amount.
B.Very small or insignificant part.
C.Critical investment for the future.
D.Wasteful and unnecessary expense.

1. 利用上下文逻辑关系:这是最核心的方法。通过分析划线词与前后文的逻辑关系来推断词义。
对比/转折关系:利用but, however, while, on the contrary 等信号词前后的相反意思进行推断。
例3-1: funding was “a drop in the bucket” relative to the state’s proposed $291.5 billion budget. 此处
通过“relative to”(与...相比)建立起“项目资金”与“州总预算”的对比关系。总预算数额巨大,
相比之下,项目资金自然显得“微不足道”。
定义/解释关系:上下文,尤其是后文,常常直接对生词进行解释、定义或重述。
例3-2: “Zhang’s distinctive blend of martial arts mastery and dance skills...” 后文说明这种“blend”
使她成为新星,并具体阐述是掌握了复杂技巧,由此可推知“blend”指的是将两种技能“融合”在
一起。
因果关系:利用because, since, as, so, therefore 等词,从原因或结果推断词义。
举例关系:通过such as, like, for example, including 等引出的具体例子来归纳词义。
2. 分析词汇构成(构词法)
分析单词的前缀、后缀和词根。示例: unpredictable → un-(不) + pre-(前) + dict(说) + able(能...
的) → “无法预测的”。
识别是否为合成词。示例: state-of-the-art (最先进的), world-renowned (世界知名的)。
3. 代入验证法
将各选项代入原文,替换划线词,检查上下文意思和逻辑是否通顺。
注|意|事|项
1. 切忌断章取义:绝对不能脱离上下文,仅凭单词的“表面意思”或个人感觉来猜测。新闻报道中的
词语,尤其是习语(如a drop in the bucket),其含义往往与字面意思相去甚远。
2. 避免“熟词僻义”陷阱:很多常见单词在特定语境下有不常见的含义。
示例: “The company is looking to field a new team.” 这里的“field”作动词,意为“组建、派出”,
而非常见的“田野、场地”。
3. 区分本义与引申义/比喻义:新闻报道为求生动,常使用比喻性语言。要理解其深层含义,而非字面
意思。
例3-1: “a drop in the bucket” 是一个比喻,字面是“桶里的一滴水”,引申为“沧海一粟,微不
足道的一部分”。
4. 关注所指代的内容:如果划线词是代词(如it, they, this, that, these, those),必须明确它在上下文中指
代的具体对象是什么。

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our
phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a
three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay
Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short
story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched
last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to
artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120
submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short
stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider
experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
1.Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A.To promote the local culture.
B.To discourage phone use.
C.To meet passengers’ needs.
D.To reduce its running costs.
2.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A.By popularity.
B.By length.
C.By theme.
D.By language.
3.What has Trost been doing recently?
A.Organizing a story contest.
B.Doing a survey of customers.
C.Choosing a print publisher.
D.Conducting interviews with artists.
4.What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A.It will close down.
B.Its profits will decline.
C.It will expand nationwide.
D.Its ridership will increase.

A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public
debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia,
Israel’s former national debating champion.
Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents
and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such
wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of
electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the
system knows what it’s talking about.”
What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the
least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program
specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols
mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with
symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters
is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean.
Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content
of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society,
in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And
that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will
not end with artificial intelligence.
1.Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph?
A.To explain the use of a software program.
B.To show the cleverness of Project Debater.
C.To introduce the designer of Project Debater.
D.To emphasize the fairness of the competition.
2.What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Arguments.
B.Doubts.
C.Errors.
D.Differences.
3.What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond?
A.Create rules.
B.Comprehend meaning.
C.Talk fluently.
D.Identify difficult words.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Social interaction is key to understanding symbols.
B.The human brain has potential yet to be developed.
C.Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters.
D.Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future.

Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on
protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response
to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for
students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom,
they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational
initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as
hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also
proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who
cause collisions with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit
while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase
traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike
lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles
and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not
only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.
1.What is West Town Bike according to the text?
A.A project on protecting pedestrians.
B.A school offering teens bike safety training.
C.An official department managing traffic safety.

Shortly before the Spring Festival in 2025, residents of Zhaoquan Village in Shuangkou Town, Beichen District,
Tianjin, received daily necessities such as rice, flour, and cooking oil. These supplies were a result of the village’s
collective economic growth over the past year, and behind this progress was the dedicated work of the village Party
branch, led by 30-year-old Secretary Zhao Rui.
After graduating from Tianjin Medical University in 2017, Zhao returned to her hometown in Shuangkou Town
and joined a group of young leaders driving rural revitalization (振兴) in the area. “I grew up in the countryside; this
land is my root. I want to help it move toward a brighter future,” Zhao said. In 2021, her outstanding abilities earned
her the positions of Party Secretary and Director of the Zhaoquan Village Committee. Today, the village Party branch
has nine members, four of whom are under 30. This young team has brought fresh and innovative ideas to promote
the village’s prosperity.
In May 2024, with support from the district government, Zhao and her colleagues launched video accounts on
popular social media platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou, aiming to explore new ways to increase income and
advance the village’s development. One of her video series, titled “100 Simple Acts for the Villagers,” showed her
efforts to address the community’s daily needs— including providing free haircuts, giving disease prevention lectures,
and teaching elderly villagers to use smartphones. Many young villagers have moved to cities for work, leaving
mostly seniors behind, but now these elders can make video calls to their families.
These videos not only enriched villagers’ lives but also put Zhaoquan Village on the map, attracting investment.
For example, a forest farm was built where families can enjoy outdoor activities, boosting the village’s income and
creating jobs. In September last year, Zhao made videos documenting grape cultivation and highlighting the fruit’s
sweet-sour taste, helping sell about 35,000 kg of grapes for local farmers. Zhao has also extended her efforts to
neighbouring areas. In June, she also helped a nearby family sell unsold apricots via videos when the family’s mother
was bedridden. Additionally, Zhao’s team has tried livestream e-commerce to support the village. “I’m just an ordinary
person from a farming family. Though my influence is limited, I want to use my efforts to bring real benefits to my
hometown,” Zhao said.
1. What is the main function of the first paragraph in the whole passage?
A.To introduce Tianjin’s rural revitalization background.
B.To list daily necessities received by Zhaoquan villagers.
C.To show Zhao Rui’s work results and arouse interest in her story.
D.To stress the importance of collective economy for rural development.
2. What can we learn about Zhao Rui’s “100 Simple Acts for the Villagers” series?
A.It was the first social media project Zhao started with her young team.
B.It was launched in 2021 right after Zhao took office as Party Secretary.
C.It included activities related to both daily life support and basic health guidance.
D.It was created to help elderly villagers contact their urban family members.
3. What can be inferred about Zhao Rui’s video efforts?
A.They made Zhaoquan a famous tourist spot.
B.They helped nearby areas besides Zhaoquan.
C.They created more long-term jobs than short-term support.
D.They made livestream e-commerce the village’s main income.

Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student
Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger
Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning
and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters,
helping beginners learn ASL.
The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school
senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an
app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he
explained.
“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,”
explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the
region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something
that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.”
As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide
Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was
really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that
experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do
more.”
The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and
app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation
that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared.
1.What is Finger Dance?
A.A machine learning device.
B.A real-time translation tool.
C.An app assisting to learn ASL.
D.A program aimed for the deaf.
2.Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities?
A.To win a series of technological contests.
B.To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person.

when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000
runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That sparked her idea for
something more environmental — a lightweight cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design,
Kristina ordered her first shipment and tested them at a race in 2021.
As she was getting her business off the ground, Kristina emailed race directors to ask if their event used
disposable (一次性的) cups. “The answer was always yes,” she said. Her response, “If you’re looking for a sustainable
solution, I have one.” Now she rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in big bags and leaving
bins (箱子) with the company logo for collection after use. Kristina picks up the used cups and washes them in a
specialized dishwasher.
“It’s just a solution to a problem that has been around for a long time,” Kristina said. Nevertheless, one trade-off
is that the cup rentals cost race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each,
while 10,000 reusable cups would rent for about 15 cents each.
Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators(创新者) are
looking to cut down on plastic waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local
applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout
containers that customers return to nearby drop-off spots later on.
While no one solution can fully tackle the problem, “The potential is there,” Gleeson said. “I think in general,
high adoption of these kinds of solutions is what is able to bring costs down and really maximize environmental
benefits that you could get.”

Researchers have identified more than 1,000 potentially problematic open-access journals using an artificial
intelligence (AI) tool that selected around 15,000 titles for signs of doubtful publishing practices. A study released
recently suggests that “there's a whole group of problematic journals in plain sight that are functioning as supposedly
respected journals that really don't deserve that qualification”
The approach could be used to help tackle the rise in what the study authors call “questionable open-access
journals”. It is available online in a closed beta version, and organizations that index (检索) journals, or publishers,
can use it to review their portfolios (文件夹), says study co-author Daniel Acuña, a computer scientist at the University
of Colorado Boulder. But, he adds, the AI sometimes makes mistakes, and is not designed to replace detailed
evaluations of journals and individual publications that might result in a title being removed from an index. “A human
expert should be part of the evaluating process” before any action is taken, he says.
The AI tool can analyze a vast amount of information from journals’ websites and the papers they publish, and
search for red flags — such as short turnaround times for publishing articles and high rates of self-citation. It also
assesses whether members of a journal's editorial board are related with well-known, reputable research institutions,
and checks how clear publications are about licensing and fees. Several of the criteria used to train the tool come
from best-practice guidance developed by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
When the researchers asked the AI to assess 15,191 open-access journals listed in the public database
Unpaywall, the team estimated that some 345 of these were mistakenly flagged: they included discontinued titles,
book series and journals from small, learned-society publishers.
Cenyu Shen, the DOAJ's deputy head of editorial quality, says that the number of problematic journals is rising
and AI tools could help to speed up some of these assessments.
1. Why should a human expert be part of the evaluating process?
A.AI provides evaluation with untrusted comprehension.
B.Manual review contributes to final thorough decisions.
C.Mistakes are caused by AI's missing critical details.
D.A human expert dominates the evaluating process.
2. What does the phrase “red flags” in paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A.Signals of a poor-quality journal.
B.Warnings from reputable researchers.
C.Markers for mistakes of the websites.
D.Guidance by open-access journals.
3. What's the purpose of the fourth paragraph?
A.To promote the Unpaywall database.
B.To disapprove of learned-society publishers.
C.To illustrate the shortcomings of the AI tool. D.To detail the criteria the AI used to flag.
4. What is the overall tone of the passage regarding the AI tool?
A.Uncritical advocacy.
B.Profound skepticism.
C.Fierce opposition.
D.Cautious optimism.

Remember Quibi? The 2020 short-form streaming service for smartphones crashed spectacularly, its name
now associated with bad ideas. Yet Lloyd Braun, former ABC Entertainment and Yahoo Media executive, is reviving
the concept with MicroCo — a project blending AI and micro dramas, the addictive, bite-sized entertainment genre
(类型) booming in China.
Micro dramas, shot vertically for phones, feature soapy, serialized plots like My Sweet Home and Summer
Rose (both available on Reel Short). Chinese firms produce entire seasons for as little as $15,000 with episodes
lasting 1 — 3 minutes and seasons spanning 30 — 150 episodes. The genre, now a $7 billion industry in China, is
gaining U.S. popularity, with millions downloading Chinese apps. Analysts predict a$10 billion global market by
2027.
Braun calls it a rare white space in the U.S. entertainment. Unlike Quibi, which spent $100,000 — 125,000
per minute and burned $1.4 billion, MicroCo plans to cut costs using AI. For example, AI-assisted animation could
reduce production expenses from $15,000 — 60,000 per minute to $1,500.
Funded by Cineverse and Banyan Ventures, MicroCo will adopt a “freemium” model: free initial episodes,
with credits or subscriptions unlocking endings. The app, launching next year, will also explore genres like animation.
Jana Winograd, MicroCo’s CEO and former Showtime president, aims to balance quality with the genre’s signature
suspense — establishing plots in 3 seconds and a dramatic hook in 23.
Susan Rovner, ex-NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. executive behind hits like Ted Lasso, will join as chief
creative officer. Cineverse, which holds a 50% share, is developing the app with 100+ Indian engineers. The company
also owns 71,000 media properties, including podcasts and films, some of which Rovner may adapt.
Why haven’t traditional studios jumped in? “The industry is in confusion,” says Cineverse CEO Chris McGurk.
“Big studios are scrambled to survive, not innovate.” MicroCo hopes its AI-driven approach and veteran leadership
will seize this untapped opportunity.
1. What can be inferred about Quibi from the text?
A.It first introduced micro dramas to the U. S. market.
B.It failed due to its smartphone-focused short content.
C.It laid a firm base for MicroCo’ s streaming expansion.
D.Its high-cost production taught MicroCo a lesson.
2. What best describes micro-drama’s status in China and its trend in the U.S.?
A.Small industry in China, minor impact in the U.S.
B.Well-established in China, declining in the U.S.
C.High-value in China, gaining appeal in the U.S.
D.Emerging in China, absent in the U.S. market.
3. How does MicroCo’ s “freemium” model work?
A.Pay for start, rest free.
B.Free start, pay for endings.
C.All episodes free.
D.Yearly subscription only.

On Tuesday, China announced it had grown the first ever plants on the moon, days after landing on the moon’s
“far side” Von Karman crater. The cotton seed sprouts (新芽) seemed to have withstood the tough lunar conditions:
freezing temperatures, lower gravity levels, and radiation. But by Thursday, the new cotton seed sprouts had died
already, according to Liu Hanlong, the experiment leader, in a government press conference statement.
After Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the moon earlier this month, the probe (探测器) was sent a command
to remotely water the plants and start the growing process. A tube directed natural light on the surface of the moon
into the small container to allow the plants to grow. The probe entered a sleep mode on Sunday, the first lunar night
after the probe’s landing.
Professor Xie Gengxin, professor at Chongqing University and chief designer of the experiment, told CNN
that it ended after nine days when the control team shut down the power. Xie said temperatures inside the biosphere
(生物圈) had grown too abnormal and reached extremes that would likely kill all life, including the seeds and eggs
during the lunar night. Xie didn’t confirm why temperatures had risen to levels unbearable for the plants in spite of
the measures taken by the research team.
Even though the experiment was quickly ended, Xie considered it a success. The cotton were the only seeds
to sprout, however, and despite many assumptions about the future possibility of moon clothes, the cotton plant’s
main purpose this time was to give researchers the valuable data on how to cultivate life in the moon’s tough
conditions. The eventual ability to grow plants on the moon could prove useful for long-term space missions, like a
trip to Mars. Astronauts could theoretically harvest their own food in space, avoiding the need to return to Earth to
resupply.
Aside from the apparent failure of the biological or plant experiment, the rest of China’s mission to the far side
of the moon appeared on track as of Thursday. The historic mission is intended to accomplish a range of tasks,
including conducting the first lunar low-frequency radio astronomy experiment and exploring whether there is water
at the moon’s poles.
1.What does the underlined word “withstood” mean?
A.Appreciated.
B.Suffered from.
C.Tolerated.

CHENGDU, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) — A student-initiated “kindness fridge” at Xinhua Middle School, specifically
designed to provide free, easily accessible food for peers and staff facing short-term financial strains or unexpected
daily troubles (like forgetting lunch money), has sparked heated community debate since it first launched in early
September. Inspired by a 2024 feature in Time for Kids that highlighted U.S. school “care fridges” supporting students
in need, three 11th-graders behind the local project hoped to foster a stronger culture of mutual aid on campus.
However, putting this idea into practice at a Chinese public school has exposed unexpected tensions between grassroots
goodwill, strict institutional regulations, and varying community expectations.
Placed outside the cafeteria, the fridge follows a “donate what you can, take what you need” model, with
snacks, water, and shelf-stable meals from students, teachers, and local stores. Yet issues arose quickly. On October
3, the school suspended it for 72 hours after a parent complained to the city health office about expired ( 过期的)
dairy and poor temperature control — breaking local campus food safety rules. Principal Zhang praised the
project’s“good intent” but noted “uncontrolled food distribution risks legal trouble,” demanding a two-part system:
a digital log for donations (tracking sources and expiration dates) and teacher oversight of users. The founders pushed
back, saying this would “lose the project’s trust core” and embarrass those in need.
Student views split: Ninth-grader Wang Tao (who uses the fridge when he forgets lunch money) called it “a
lifeline,” while 10th-grader Li Ming claimed classmates resold snacks and suggested a “needs check” with a
counselor’s signature — criticized for “hurting dignity.” A Chengdu Daily poll of 2,300 people found 58% supported
the fridge (32% wanted small fixes), 42% doubted its long-term viability and local store “Green Harvest” paused
donations.
Still, the team adapted: They added a Bluetooth temperature sensor, put QR codes on items for donation logs,
and partnered with “Sunny Loaf” bakery for fresh, dated pastries — solving the expired food issue. They plan a
“kindness shelf” for school supplies next month but admit the fridge’s future depends on resolving conflicts with the
school “Kindness needs structure to last,” said founder Li Jia.
1. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To discuss a student project’s challenges and responses.
B.To show the need for school support for student ideas.
C.To report on a student project and its related issues.
D.To stress food safety risks in student activities.
2. Why was the “kindness fridge” stopped for 72 hours?
A.Because the food in it was not safe to eat.
B.Because it lacked a clear and effective management system.
C.Because it created unfairness and hurt students’ dignity.
D.Because it was against the school’s safety rules.
3. The underlined word “viability” in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.
A.being able to continue to exist
B.being easy to operate
C.being popular with students
D.being supported by the school
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The team added new rules for tracking donations.
B.The kindness shelf will open at the end of this month.
C.The team found new ways to ensure food safety.

Globally, 14% of new cars sold in 2022 were electric — up from 9% in 2021 and just 5% in 2020 — and sales
rose 25% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period the year before. China leads with 60% of global
Electric Vehicle (EV) sales, followed by Europe and the U.S. Newer markets like India and Thailand are also seeing
growth, and in Norway over 80% of new cars are electric, though the U.S. only hit 4.6% in 2022 (20% in California)
with analysts predicting 45% in a little over a decade.
EVs have clear advantages: they run without gasoline or ethanol, producing zero tailpipe emissions, and they
are quiet, requiring less maintenance than gas-powered vehicles. Some can even supply electricity to homes in
emergencies. Fred Lambert, lead writer for EV news site Electrek, adds, “they’re so much more fun to drive,” a less
obvious but notable benefit.
A major concern for buyers is “range anxiety” — fear of running out of charge — worsened by just around
46,000 U.S. charging stations (vs. 150,000 gas stations) and some unreliable chargers. However, Tesla is opening its
reliable superchargers to other brands, the Biden Administration is providing $7.5 billion to expand the U.S. charger
network, and many EVs now have longer ranges (the Lucid Air claims 500 miles, with several options over 300
miles); plus, the U.S. average daily commute is only 30 miles. Jim Motavalli, auto columnist for Barron’s, adds,
“when people buy EVs, they’ll find that 85 percent of their charging is at home anyway. You’re not actually going to
need or want to use public charger s most of the time.”
While EVs have environmental costs from emissions of battery production, lithium mining and transportation,
traditional cars release far more emissions generated by fuel consumption over their lifetimes. Solutions like better
mining tech, longer-lasting batteries, and growing battery recycling can reduce these issues.
Critics argue EVs don’t solve too many cars or gridlock, but Lambert sums up: “Go drive one, do the math,
and let your logic take over. When you do, you’ll always end up with electric vehicles — it’s the more logical solution
every time.”
1.Which statement is true according to the passage?
A.China sells over half of the world’s EVs.
B.Europe leads in global electric vehicle sales.
C.The U.S. has more EV charger s than gas stations.
D.Norway has the world’s highest EV adoption rate.
2.What is a solution to ease “range anxiety” for EV owners?
A.Reducing EV battery charging costs.
B.Decreasing daily commuting distances.
C.Expanding unreliable charging networks.
D.Popularizing the installation of home chargers.
3.What can we infer about the environmental impact of EVs?
A.Lithium mining issues are unsolvable for EVs.
B.EVs are pollution-free due to zero tailpipe emissions.
C.Battery production makes EVs worse than gasoline cars.
D.EVs beat gas vehicles on environmental costs long-termly.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To promote EV sales globally.
B.To compare EVs in different countries.
C.To justify EVs as a logically better choice.
D.To discuss EVs’ advantages over gas vehicles.

Leading museums worldwide are experimenting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)
technologies to create new experiences for audiences to engage with art and culture.
To reinvent an interactive experience, museums in China have started using digital humans—computer-
generated 3D images resembling real people—to transform visitors’ encounters with history and culture. In cooperation
with AI companies, Chinese museums have introduced digital humans as tour guides and ambassadors of tradition.
Ai Wenwen, a digital employee at the National Museum of China, can instantly change outfits, from modern
clothing to Chinese traditional dress, and give guided tours of the museum. To give its digital employee the appeal
of a human celebrity, the National Museum create a song that is presented as if sung by Ai Wenwen herself.
In addition to museums, digital humans can help bring historical figures to life. The Zhonghua Book Company
has launched a virtual avatar (化身) of Su Shi, a celebrated Chinese poet and statesman. With the texts about Su Shi’s
life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar, it can respond to real people in a manner and language
resembling this great man in Chinese history. It made its first appearance in a CCTV youth talent show about Chinese
poetry, surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.
The virtual avatar had conversations with live audiences about poems Su Shi wrote about 1,000 years ago. The
TV show even presented an episode of the digital version of Su Shi acting with a human who played his close friend,
the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian.
The Su Shi avatar has also become a social media influencer, posting quizzes and educational content on
literature, geography, and customs. Additionally, the company organizes in-person events where students interact
with digital humans to learn history and literature.
Museums and cultural institutions across China have incorporated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create
interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea, poetry and calligraphy. Audiences at these exhibitions
have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.
1. Why Chinese museums apply digital humans?
A.To reduce the cost of hiring real tour guides. B.To enhance visitors’ cultural experience.
C.To promote latest AR and VR technologies.
D.To compete with international museums.
2. What can Ai Wenwen do during tours?
A.Switch clothes in a flash.
B.Compose original music.
C.Repair historical artifacts.
D.Conduct academic research.
3. How did the Su Shi avatar surprise audiences on TV?
A.By composing poetry on the spot.
B.By acting out his close friend vividly.
C.By responding in a human-like way.
D.By having a touchable human look.
4.Which is the best title of the passage?

A longtime University of Iowa professor’s life-changing cystic fibrosis (囊性纤维化) research was honored
with one of biomedicine’s most famous awards — often referred to as the “American Nobel.” Dr. Michael J. Welsh,
along with two other scientists, won the 2025 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for their work on
treatments that have lengthened and bettered the lives of patients with cystic fibrosis. A genetic disorder that causes
thick mucus (黏液) to block organ functions, cystic fibrosis most often affects the lungs where infections lead to
progressive destruction.
When Welsh started his medical career nearly 50 years ago, cystic fibrosis was a serious disease, with patients
rarely seeing their 30th birthday. Facing numerous failures, he never gave up, believing that answers would be found.
Using Welsh’s results, the two other honored scientists worked for decades to develop Trikafta, a drug that made
cystic cystic fibrosis possible to control for about 90% of those diagnosed. Today, cystic fibrosis patients’ life
expectancy can be well into the 80s.
Specifically, Welsh’s research changed the fundamental understanding of a critical protein, known as CFTR,
and how it is transformed by a gene mutation (突变) in cystic fibrosis patients, resulting in a breakdown of the body’s
usual protective systems. With that knowledge, Welsh’s team proved that if cooled down, the mutated CFTR protein
could be “corrected” in a sense, a key discovery that allowed scientists to explore the possibility of a more permanent
fix to the protein’s damage.
“Mike Welsh’s work illustrates how fundamental science—driven by curiosity, cooperation, and purpose—
can lead to transformative innovations and treatments,” Dr. Denise Jamieson, the university’s vice president, says in
a news release.
While Welsh said that he is “incredibly honored to receive this award,” he points to the cooperative science
and the many unnamed researchers who made the groundbreaking work possible. “For me, it is truly a celebration of
our entire scientific enterprise,” Welsh said in the release. By sharing credit with all contributors, he showed his
dedication to the scientific cause.
1.Why is “American Nobel” mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.To show why this award is highly respected.
B.To stress the challenges of fibrosis treatment.
C.To prove the research deserves the Nobel Prize.
D.To explain why the research gained world fame.

A.Discovering the genetic cause of cystic fibrosis.
B.Developing the final drug combination for patients.
C.Transforming a deadly disease into a manageable one.
D.Serving as a new diagnosis basis for cystic fibrosis.
3.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The main difficulties in protein research.
B.The process of developing a new fibrosis treatment.
C.A full explanation of how gene changes affect health.

One quiet afternoon in France in her studio, wood crafting (木工技艺) artist Hua Yong found herself watching
water boil. Without thinking, she reached for her phone and refreshed the screen. At that very moment, she realized
how much modern life is consumed by speed. “We are completely swept up by the fast pace of life,” she said. “It’s
becoming harder to find time to unwind among the everyday chaos of life.”
Hua Yong, the 2024 receiver of the Hand of Wisdom prize, a Sino-French crafts exchange program, spent two
months in Paris last year, a rare stretch of uninterrupted time that allowed her to reflect on the act of creation. She
began experimenting with simple geometric (几何的) forms, repeating them to create visual effects that seemed to
go beyond time and space. “I thought about how to create something new from nothing, and used the highest standards
of traditional Chinese craftsmanship to bring these ideas to life,” she said.
“Wood crafting requires the investment of time,” she noted. Her exhibition Changing the World in Silence at
Yishu 8, an art platform in Beijing, marked the highlight of a year’s reflection. Running through mid-June, the show
featured 25 pieces, 11 of which were created after her Paris residency. Among the works was a vortex-like (漩涡状
的) table, which drew the viewer’s mind into a different dimension. “We hope all the crafts here quietly accompany
the viewers, bringing a brief mental escape and a moment of relaxation,” described Hua.
“The changes in her work’s form between movement and stillness are projections of conceptual unrest,” said
Su Dan, the artistic director of Hand of Wisdom, observing Hua’s shift since her return. “She has long engaged with
Chinese traditional materials and been constantly thinking. Works created in such a state of reflection become models
of design philosophy: They are short-lived, yet everlasting.”
1. Why did Hua Yong reach for her phone in Paragraph 1?
A.She felt like taking a photo.
B.She tried to have a rest among chaos.
C.She intended to make a call.

Architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on Tuesday, making him the second
winner from China to earn the highest honor in the field of architecture after Wang Shu in 2012.
Living in Chengdu, the capital of southwestern China’s Sichuan province, Liu’s career spans four decades and
over 30 projects. He established Jiakun architects in 1999 and is devoted to creating an expansive collection of works
ranging from small, beautiful museums and monuments and vast commercial buildings to master plans for cities.
“The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified living environment. People’s real lives,
happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” says Liu.
The prize’s jury statement says that “intertwining (交织) seemingly opposing things such as idealism versus
everyday existence, history versus modernity, and collectivism versus individuality, Liu offers affirming architecture
that celebrates the lives of ordinary citizens”.
Wang, the 2012 Pritzker recipient, tells China Daily that Liu’s winning is encouraging: “His works are very
local, yet modern, directly addressing the challenges facing the transformation of contemporary Chinese cities.” Wang
says both he and Liu pursue contemporary architecture rooted in tradition. Many architects around the world attempt
to do the same, yet their style has never become mainstream. “I believe Liu’s winning holds great significance and
will resonate with those architects,” he adds.
Liu’s focus on ordinary people is reflected in his largest project West Village, a five-story urban complex
completed in 2015 in Chengdu. The complex includes a football field, paths for cyclists and pedestrians, and a market.
The block has become a popular public space and a destination for the city’s residents to spend leisure time.
Hearing the news that Liu won the Pritzker Prize, many netizens who have visited the West Village and the
museums he designed expressed that his architecture reflects a precious sense of relaxation, much like the vibrant
city of Chengdu itself, which is known for its giant pandas, hotpot and leisurely pace.

On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles
from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.
“By the time we closed on the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said
editor-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month, we would
have doubled the number of articles we normally have. The rate had been growing from previous months, and we
were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.”
Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of
ChatGPT in November,2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems
and stories.
Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to
make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to
stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is
not lost on him.
“You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is
often intended to give a warning to people.” We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make
sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re
not ready to accept.
Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was
in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor.
1. What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld?
A.It will close down forever.
B.It received lots of AI-written articles.
