After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford
SupplyHe, was empowered to take action against malaria — a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands
of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHe, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with
United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while
tabling at White Plaza on Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and
children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U.S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries
in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U.S. experienced its
first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread
malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista
met with her congressional representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued
funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are
powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as
these,” wrote Maegan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected official in support of
global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other
global health issues: “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities around the world
and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around
the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
4. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria?
A. A learning experience.
B. A health crisis.
C. A grassroots campaign.
D. A tabling event.
5. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention?
A. A tabling event.
B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising.
D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
6. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey?
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
7. Which of the following best describes Bista?
A. A health advocate.
B. A club founder.
C. A woman pioneer.
D. A disease specialist.

Languages represent far more than mere communication tools; they are complex carriers of cultural memory,
showing unique viewpoints, cultural traditions, and collective wisdom. Language loss occurs when the final native
speakers disappear, transforming vivid linguistic (语言
) traditions into historical artifacts. The loss of a language is
not merely a loss of words but a deep loss of human heritage (遗产), disconnecting communities from their ancestral
roots and their unique worldview. While language extinction is not a new phenomenon, languages are disappearing at
the fastest rate in recorded history, with one language lost every three to four months.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced innovative methods for preserving and refreshing endangered
languages, offering tools that were unimaginable in traditional linguistic research. Automated Transcription Tools
can change spoken language into written text, while Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on extensive
datasets to perform translations across a wide range of languages.
While AI offers promising solutions, it faces a significant challenge which blocks its full potential. The vast
majority of these endangered languages are underrepresented digitally. If one language doesn’t have a lot of text
online, it will be less represented in those technologies. This digital divide is further worsened by the dominance of a
few languages on the Internet. Consequently, endangered languages are often excluded from AI technologies, leaving
their speakers pushed aside in the digital space.
Tech companies, linguists and local communities are all vital in ensuring that AI tools are culturally relevant and
technically effective, which can lead to the developments that meet the unique needs of each language community.
By involving native speakers in the design and use of AI technologies, create resources that reflect the true-essence of
the language and encourage a sense of ownership among community members. This shared approach is essential for
的
building trust and ensuring the long-term sustainability of language preservation efforts.
8. Why are the roles of languages talked about in paragraph 1?
A. To call for global language unity.
B. To draw attention to lost languages.
C. To show the effect of language loss.
D. To prove the uniqueness of languages.
9. What major difficulty does AI face in handling endangered languages?
A. Their limited speakers.
B. Their poor digital data.
C. The dominant languages.
D. The backward technologies.
10. What does the author urge people to do in the end?
A. Prioritize communities over experts!
B. Meet common needs of communities.
C. Create technically effective AI models.
D. Make joint efforts at specific solutions.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Save Dying Languages Through Technology.
B. Bridge the Digital Language Gap with AI Tools.
C. AI in Teaching People Endangered Languages.
D. Fruitful Smart Projects in Language Protection.

The experience of touch is key to babies beginning to recognize themselves in a mirror, new research shows,
which usually happens when babies are about a year and a half old. “Babies pulling on their toes (脚趾) or hitting
lightly their fingers are not just playing,” says Jeffrey Lockman, senior author of the research paper. “They are trying
to recognize themselves.”
The researchers began by placing small vibrating (震动的) discs on the foreheads of babies around 14 months
old, before the usual age at which self-recognition occurs. In response to the vibration, they would reach up and touch
the discs. Next, researchers turned the children to face a mirror and watched as they reached up to touch the discs. The
researchers then had the children perform the standard mirror-mark test for self-recognition in which a small mark of
paint or makeup was placed on each child’s face. If the child looked in the mirror and touched the mark on their own
face or said words like their name or “me”, they demonstrated self-recognition.
The researchers also observed a control group of children exposed to the laboratory experience with mirrors but
not the vibrating discs. The children who touched their face more frequently recognized themselves in the mirror
about two months earlier, on average, than those who typically first begin to recognize-themselves in a mirror. This
indicates a possible mechanism that self-awareness can develop based on engaged experiences that human babies
naturally generate.
The study challenges a long-standing assumption that self-recognition in early childhood is somehow
hardwired. For a long time, scientists believed early recognition in the mirror was a built-in function of human brains
and those of our closest primate (灵长类) relatives, rather than linked to sensory or motor experiences.
“Interventions for babies who have issues related to motor skills are typically focused on reaching for objects in
the external world and controlling them,” Lockman says. “According to our findings, reaching to the body is equally
important and exploring the body is the gateway to self-knowledge.”
12. Why do babies hit their fingers lightly at an early age?
A. To explore their surroundings.
B. To build up self-identification.
C. To signal their self-recognition.
D. To engage in playful activities.
13. How did the babies in the experiment form self-recognition?
A. Through active exploration.
B. By seeing vibration in mirrors.
C. Through word-related response.
D. By copying others’ movements.
14. What is a common misunderstanding of early-childhood self-recognition?
A. It is an inborn capability.
B. It develops through learning.
C. It is related to experiences.
D. It exists in men and animals.
15. What do the findings suggest about treating children’s motor delays?
A. Staring at themselves in the mirror.
B. Intervening as early as possible.
C. Enhancing external motor activities.
D. Having interactions with their bodies.

How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether
going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky.
___16___
First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how
powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public
charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use. ___17___
A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and driveways to other local EV
drivers when they’re not using them. ___18___ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions
are reduced.
___19___ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from
your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but
isn’t available in the UK as yet.
For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric — in part. ___20___ Many
hybrid (混合的) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of
your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel
engine for long journeys.
A. It actually worked out much cheaper.
B. However, it may be easier than you think.
C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going.
D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery.
E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV.
F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are.
G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available.

【答案】Helping the Elderly Cross the Digital Divide
Last week, I took part in a volunteer activity organized by our school’s volunteer club. A group of us visited a
senior center to help the elderly learn to use smartphones. We showed them how to make video calls to family, pay
bills online, and use health-related apps. Some seniors even learned to take and edit photos! Though they faced
difficulties, their eagerness to learn touched us deeply.
This experience was very meaningful. It made me realize that small acts of kindness can bring great convenience
to the elderly. More importantly, it bridged the generation gap. Seeing their satisfied smiles when mastering new
skills, I felt proud to be part of this effort.
I hope more people will join in helping the elderly keep up with the digital age.
六、书面表达
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby
picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Fascinated by the beauty and
liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breathtaking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing
what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John, really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the
significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t
aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream: became more
passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn
drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. He never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of
time staying in — the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he
drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town whose deadline was only two days away. He got
the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma as for the competition he needed special paints and
some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at
school next four days.” He worked up the courage hoping to ask his mother if she could give him some more money
so that he could participate in the competition, but finally, considering the family’s financial difficulties, he
swallowed the words.

【答案】One possible version:
Looking at the notes on the desk the next day, John was lost in thought. “Should I use the money for the
competition”, he asked himself, balancing his passion for painting against his lunches to be lost. Love for art beating
the other, he bought paints and brushes with some of the notes, and dashed to sign up for it, after which he put his
heart and soul into finishing painting. After handing it in, he went home, his dancing heart ready to jump from his
body. Weeks later, to his great surprise, a call came announcing that he had won the first place and he was invited to
give a speech at the award ceremony.
At the award ceremony John was about to speak when he saw his mother. Wild excitement took hold of him, but
he calmed down and began his speech, in which he expressed appreciation for the golden opportunity to show his
love for painting and share the joy. After a short pause, he said emotionally, “Above all, I should be grateful to the
greatest woman in my mind — my beloved mother. Come on stage, dear mum!” Then his mother went forward, with
thunderous applause and cheers almost shooting through the roof. Excited tears streaming down her cheeks, she
hugged her son tightly, saying she had known all and would support his passion with all energy and strength.
