Jamie, 16, was on his way to the store when he noticed a stranger sitting alone on the edge of a bridge.
“I was just on my way to the American sweet shop to buy some drinks, when I saw this guy in his 30s sitting on the edge of the bridge,” he told Humans of Dublin. “I just thought, ‘wow…’ I stopped and asked him if he was OK, but I knew from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t, and he didn’t say anything, either, but I saw tears coming from his eyes. I begged him for a while to come down and sit on the steps, and eventually he did.” Over the next 45 minutes, Jamie listened attentively as the stranger shared his burdens.
“We sat on the sidewalk on the south side of the Liffey and talked for about 45 minutes, about what was happening to him, why he was feeling that way… I couldn’t leave him there alone, but I had to go, so I was going to ring an ambulance,” Jamie recalled. “I told him they could help him feel better. But he was like ‘Please, please don’t call them. I’m fine. I just want to walk around for a while… I’m gonna be OK!’”
The man eventually accepted Jamie’s request and was taken to a hospital. Before bidding farewell, the two exchanged phone numbers.
Jamie continued “And about three months ago, he texted me that his wife was pregnant, they were having a boy, and they were naming him after me.
Can you believe that They’re going to name their child after me. He said in that moment when I approached him, he was just about to jump, and those few words saved his life. They’re still ringing in his head every day. ‘Are you OK ’
I can’t really understand how these few words could save his life, but he told me, ‘Imagine if nobody ever asked you those words… ”

A. Go to school. B. Meet him. C. Sell sweets. D. Buy something.

Austrian-based food-tech startup Revo Foods announced this week that its 3D-printed vegan fish filet (素食鱼片) was heading to European grocery store shelves — a first for 3D-printed food. According to the company’s September 12 press release, the arrival of the “Filet” represents a key moment in sustainable food, with 3D-printed consumables ready for industrial mass production. Revo Foods Filet is likely to be just the first of many other such 3D-printed edible (可食用的) products to soon hit the market.
“Despite dramatic losses of coral reefs and increasing levels of poisons and micro plastic polluting fish, consumer demand for seafood has skyrocketed in recent decades,” the company announcement explains, “One promising solution to provide consumers with sustainable alternatives that do not contribute to overfishing is vegan seafood. The key to the success of these products lies in recreating a real taste that appeals to consumers.”
The composition of the Filet provides a meat-like texture (口感). 12 ingredients (成分) compose Revo’s Filet, such as pea proteins, plant oils and algae extracts. With its high protein and Ornega-3 contents, eating a Revo Filet is still very much like eating regular salmon. And thanks to its plant-based ingredients, the Filet has a three week shelf life, a significant improvement over regular salmon products.
“With the milestone of industrial-scale 3D food printing, we are entering a creative food revolution, an era where food is being made exactly according to the customers’ needs,” Revo Foods CEO Robin Simsa said via this week’s announcement.
While Revo’s products are currently only available for European markets, the company says it is actively working to expand its availability across the globe, with Simsa telling PopSci the company hopes to enter US markets around 2025.
8. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. Revo’s Filet will be eco-friendly. B. Revo Foods is popular in Europe.
C. Edible fish have decreased sharply. D. Most people refuse to accept seafood.
9. What is special about Revo’s Filet
A. It is a kind of seafood. B. It has a longer shelf life.
C. It has the same taste as salmon. D. It has no food quality problems.
10. What is Simsa’s attitude to the future of 3D-printed food
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Optimistic. D. Worried.
11. What is the text
A. A short story. B. A research paper.
C. An advertisement. D. A news report.
D
In the thick forest, a New Caledonian crow carefully removes a branch, pulls off unwanted leaves and makes a tool from the wood. The crow is a perfectionist. When it’s satisfied, the bird advances the finished tool into a hole in the tree and fishes out a wriggling grub (蠕动的幼虫).
The New Caledonian crow is one of the only birds known to make tools, a skill once thought to be unique to humans. The remarkable originality that Christian Rutz, a behavioral ecologist at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, observed changed his understanding of what birds can do. He started wondering if there might be other ignored animal abilities. Experiments have shown that different crow groups in the forest have distinct vocalizations (发声). Rutz wanted to know whether these vocalizations could help explain cultural differences in tool-making among the groups.
New technology powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is ready to provide exactly these kinds of insights. Whether animals communicate with one another in terms we might be able to understand is a question of enduring question. “With recent breakthroughs in AI, people realize that we are on the edge of fairly major advances in regard to understanding animals’ communicative behavior,” Rutz says.
Beyond creating chat-bots that attract people and producing art that wins fine-arts competitions, machine learning may soon make it possible to crack (破解) things like crow calls, says Aza Raskin, one of the founders of the nonprofit Earth Species Project. Cracking animal vocalizations could aid conservation and welfare efforts. It could also have a shocking impact on us. Raskin compares the coming revolution to the invention of the telescope. “We looked out at the universe and discovered that Earth was not the center,” he says. The power of AI to reshape our understanding of animals, he thinks, will have a similar effect. “These tools are going to change the way that we see ourselves in relation to everything.”
12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1
A. Show the New Caledonian crow can make tools.
B. Explain why the New Caledonian crow is a perfectionist.
C. Tell the New Caledonian crow often makes mistakes.
D. Describe how the New Caledonian crow lives in the forest.
13. What does Rutz tend to agree
A. It is humans and crows that can make tools
B. Humans may fail to notice some animals’ abilities.
C. The New Caledonian crow is the smartest bird.
D. The New Caledonian crow has various sounds.
14. What does Raskin suggest doing in the last paragraph
A. Chatting with AI. B. Looking out into space.
C. Using AI to crack animal calls. D. Connecting with the outside world.
15 What may be the best title for the text
A. Earth Is Not the Center B. Start Your Mind and Study Deeply
C. Protect Animals to Make the World Better D. AI Could Help Us Understand Animals

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The advice of “eat the frog first thing in the morning” sounds extremely strange. However, this somewhat-commonly known expression is one way of describing an absolutely helpful productivity tip.
“Eat the frog” actually means “do the day’s worst task as soon as you wake up”. ___16___ . Basically, what Twain is believed to have said is that if you have to eat a frog, you should do it straight away in the morning so the worst part of your day is immediately behind you.
You don’t really have to eat the frog as soon as you wake up. ___17___ . You can just make a conscious (刻意的) effort to get your hardest responsibilities handled before moving on to lesser ones. When I have to have an uncomfortable phone call, I schedule it for the earliest possible time in the day. When I have a project due, I try to wake up early to take care of it instead of staying up late. I can prove the fact that I feel great throughout the day knowing that the worst thing I had to do is already done. ___18___ .
If you struggle with procrastination (拖延症) — whether cleaning your house or doing work for school or your job or you find that you get all the little stuff done but don’t make sufficient progress on the big stuff, try following the advice. ___19___ . Study for the test in your most difficult class before studying for your easier ones.
___20___ . Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top of your list, and then enjoy the satisfaction of crossing them off early. At some point, moving on to the smaller activities — even if they’re not important — will feel like a reward.
A. You get the idea
B. This quote comes from Mark Twain
C. Schedule the most annoying tasks for the morning
D. If you’d like to be more productive, eating the frog is for you
E. But you should try to get frogs out of the way as soon as possible
F. This advice also helps to make a to-do list every night for the next day and rank it
G. This always makes me feel like any other tasks I need to handle are a piece of cake

Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

“I was just on my way to the American sweet shop to buy some drinks, when I saw this guy in his 30s sitting on the edge of the bridge,” he told Humans of Dublin. “I just thought, ‘wow…’ I stopped and asked him if he was OK, but I knew from the look in his eyes that he wasn’t, and he didn’t say anything, either, but I saw tears coming from his eyes. I begged him for a while to come down and sit on the steps, and eventually he did.” Over the next 45 minutes, Jamie listened attentively as the stranger shared his burdens.
“We sat on the sidewalk on the south side of the Liffey and talked for about 45 minutes, about what was happening to him, why he was feeling that way… I couldn’t leave him there alone, but I had to go, so I was going to ring an ambulance,” Jamie recalled. “I told him they could help him feel better. But he was like ‘Please, please don’t call them. I’m fine. I just want to walk around for a while… I’m gonna be OK!’”
The man eventually accepted Jamie’s request and was taken to a hospital. Before bidding farewell, the two exchanged phone numbers.
Jamie continued, “And about three months ago, he texted me that his wife was pregnant, they were having a boy, and they were naming him after me.
Can you believe that They’re going to name their child after me. He said in that moment when I approached him, he was just about to jump, and those few words saved his life. They’re still ringing in his head every day. ‘Are you OK ’
I can’t really understand how these few words could save his life, but he told me, ‘Imagine if nobody ever asked you those words… ”

Austrian-based food-tech startup Revo Foods announced this week that its 3D-printed vegan fish filet (素食鱼片) was heading to European grocery store shelves — a first for 3D-printed food. According to the company’s September 12 press release, the arrival of the “Filet” represents a key moment in sustainable food, with 3D-printed consumables ready for industrial mass production. Revo Foods Filet is likely to be just the first of many other such 3D-printed edible (可食用的) products to soon hit the market.
“Despite dramatic losses of coral reefs and increasing levels of poisons and micro plastic polluting fish, consumer demand for seafood has skyrocketed in recent decades,” the company announcement explains, “One promising solution to provide consumers with sustainable alternatives that do not contribute to overfishing is vegan seafood. The key to the success of these products lies in recreating a real taste that appeals to consumers.”
The composition of the Filet provides a meat-like texture (口感). 12 ingredients (成分) compose Revo’s Filet, such as pea proteins, plant oils and algae extracts. With its high protein and Ornega-3 contents, eating a Revo Filet is still very much like eating regular salmon. And thanks to its plant-based ingredients, the Filet has a three week shelf life, a significant improvement over regular salmon products.
“With the milestone of industrial-scale 3D food printing, we are entering a creative food revolution, an era where food is being made exactly according to the customers’ needs,” Revo Foods CEO Robin Simsa said via this week’s announcement.
While Revo’s products are currently only available for European markets, the company says it is actively working to expand its availability across the globe, with Simsa telling PopSci the company hopes to enter US markets around 2025.
8. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. Revo’s Filet will be eco-friendly. B. Revo Foods is popular in Europe.
C. Edible fish have decreased sharply. D. Most people refuse to accept seafood.
9 What is special about Revo’s Filet
A. It is a kind of seafood. B. It has a longer shelf life.
C. It has the same taste as salmon. D. It has no food quality problems.
10. What is Simsa’s attitude to the future of 3D-printed food
A. Doubtful. B. Disappointed. C. Optimistic. D. Worried.
11. What is the text
A. A short story. B. A research paper.
C. An advertisement. D. A news report.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了3D打印纯素食鱼片的优点，它将进入欧洲杂货店货架，前景广泛。
【8题详解】

In the thick forest, a New Caledonian crow carefully removes a branch, pulls off unwanted leaves and makes a tool from the wood. The crow is a perfectionist. When it’s satisfied, the bird advances the finished tool into a hole in the tree and fishes out a wriggling grub (蠕动的幼虫).
The New Caledonian crow is one of the only birds known to make tools, a skill once thought to be unique to humans. The remarkable originality that Christian Rutz, a behavioral ecologist at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, observed changed his understanding of what birds can do. He started wondering if there might be other ignored animal abilities. Experiments have shown that different crow groups in the forest have distinct vocalizations (发声). Rutz wanted to know whether these vocalizations could help explain cultural differences in tool-making among the groups.
New technology powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is ready to provide exactly these kinds of insights. Whether animals communicate with one another in terms we might be able to understand is a question of enduring question. “With recent breakthroughs in AI, people realize that we are on the edge of fairly major advances in regard to understanding animals’ communicative behavior,” Rutz says.
Beyond creating chat-bots that attract people and producing art that wins fine-arts competitions, machine learning may soon make it possible to crack (破解) things like crow calls, says Aza Raskin, one of the founders of the nonprofit Earth Species Project. Cracking animal vocalizations could aid conservation and welfare efforts. It could also have a shocking impact on us. Raskin compares the coming revolution to the invention of the telescope. “We looked out at the universe and discovered that Earth was not the center,” he says. The power of AI to reshape our understanding of animals, he thinks, will have a similar effect. “These tools are going to change the way that we see ourselves in relation to everything.”
12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1
A. Show the New Caledonian crow can make tools.
B. Explain why the New Caledonian crow is a perfectionist.
C. Tell the New Caledonian crow often makes mistakes.
D. Describe how the New Caledonian crow lives in the forest.
13. What does Rutz tend to agree
A. It is humans and crows that can make tools
B. Humans may fail to notice some animals’ abilities.
C. The New Caledonian crow is the smartest bird.
D. The New Caledonian crow has various sounds.
14. What does Raskin suggest doing in the last paragraph
A. Chatting with AI. B. Looking out into space.
C. Using AI to crack animal calls. D. Connecting with the outside world.
15. What may be the best title for the text
A. Earth Is Not the Center B. Start Your Mind and Study Deeply
C. Protect Animals to Make the World Better D. AI Could Help Us Understand Animals
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能有望帮助我们了解动物之间的交流行为。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In the thick forest, a New Caledonian crow carefully removes a branch, pulls off unwanted leaves and makes a tool from the wood. The crow is a perfectionist. When it’s satisfied, the bird advances the finished tool into a hole in the tree and fishes out a wriggling grub(蠕动的幼虫).(在茂密的森林中，一只新喀里多尼亚乌鸦小心翼翼地拔下一根树枝，扯下多余的叶子，然后用木头做一个工具。乌鸦是个完美主义者。当它感到满意时，这只鸟把完成的工具推进树上的一个洞里，然后捞出一只蠕动的幼虫。)”和第二段中的“The New Caledonian crow is one of the only birds known to make tools, a skill once thought to be unique to humans.(新喀里多尼亚乌鸦是已知的唯一能制造工具的鸟类之一，这一技能曾被认为是人类独有的。)”可推测出，作者在第一段描写了新喀里多尼亚乌鸦制作工具来觅食的行为，这是为了展示它能够制作工具。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The remarkable originality that Christian Rutz, a behavioral ecologist at the University of St Andrews in Scotland, observed changed his understanding of what birds can do. He started wondering if there might be other ignored animal abilities.(苏格兰圣安德鲁斯大学的行为生态学家克里斯蒂安·鲁茨观察到的这一非凡独创性改变了他对鸟类能力的理解。他开始想知道是否还有其他被忽视的动物能力。)”可知，克里斯蒂安·鲁茨看到新喀里多尼亚乌鸦会制作工具，改变了他对鸟类能力的理解，他怀疑还有其他被忽视的动物能力。由此可推测出，他可能认为人类可能没有注意到一些动物的能力。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Beyond creating chat-bots that attract people and producing art that wins fine-arts competitions, machine learning may soon make it possible to crack(破解) things like crow calls, says Aza Raskin, one of the founders of the nonprofit Earth Species Project. Cracking animal vocalizations could aid conservation and welfare efforts. (非营利组织地球物种项目的创始人之一阿扎·拉斯金表示，除了创建吸引人的聊天机器人和制作赢得美术比赛的艺术作品外，机器学习可能很快就能破解乌鸦叫声等问题。破解动物的发声可以帮助保护和福利工作。)”可推测出，他建议用人工智能来破解动物的发声。故选C。
【15题详解】
标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“New technology powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is ready to provide exactly these kinds of insights.(以人工智能为动力的新技术正准备提供这类见解。)”和“With recent breakthroughs in AI, people realize that we are on the edge of fairly major advances in regard to understanding animals’ communicative behavior(随着人工智能的最新突破，人们意识到，在理解动物的交流行为方面，我们正处于相当大的进步边缘)”可知，本文主要讲述了人工智能有望能帮助人类理解动物的交流行为。由此可推测出，D项“人工智能能帮助我们理解动物”最适合作本文标题。故选D。

The advice of “eat the frog first thing in the morning” sounds extremely strange. However, this somewhat-commonly known expression is one way of describing an absolutely helpful productivity tip.
“Eat the frog” actually means “do the day’s worst task as soon as you wake up”. ___16___ . Basically, what Twain is believed to have said is that if you have to eat a frog, you should do it straight away in the morning so the worst part of your day is immediately behind you.
You don’t really have to eat the frog as soon as you wake up. ___17___ . You can just make a conscious (刻意的) effort to get your hardest responsibilities handled before moving on to lesser ones. When I have to have an uncomfortable phone call, I schedule it for the earliest possible time in the day. When I have a project due, I try to wake up early to take care of it instead of staying up late. I can prove the fact that I feel great throughout the day knowing that the worst thing I had to do is already done. ___18___ .
If you struggle with procrastination (拖延症) — whether cleaning your house or doing work for school or your job or you find that you get all the little stuff done but don’t make sufficient progress on the big stuff, try following the advice. ___19___ . Study for the test in your most difficult class before studying for your easier ones.
___20___ . Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top of your list, and then enjoy the satisfaction of crossing them off early. At some point, moving on to the smaller activities — even if they’re not important — will feel like a reward.
A. You get the idea
B. This quote comes from Mark Twain
C. Schedule the most annoying tasks for the morning
D. If you’d like to be more productive, eating the frog is for you
E. But you should try to get frogs out of the way as soon as possible

【17题详解】
上文“You don’t really have to eat the frog as soon as you wake up.”（你不必一醒来就把青蛙吃掉。）说明棘手的事情也没有迫切到一醒来就要立刻做的程度，E项“But you should try to get frogs out of the way as soon as possible”（但是你应该尽快把青蛙弄走。）说明虽然不必立刻做，但也要尽快处理棘手的事情，与上文构成转折，衔接恰当。故选E项。
【18题详解】
上文“I can prove the fact that I feel great throughout the day knowing that the worst thing I had to do is already done.”（我可以证明这样一个事实：当我知道我必须做的最糟糕的事情已经完成时，我一整天都感觉很棒。）可知，先做最棘手的事，会让我一整天都会无比愉悦和轻松。G项“This always makes me feel like any other tasks I need to handle are a piece of cake”（这也会让我觉得我需要处理的其他事情都是小菜一碟。）衔接上文，说明先做棘手任务的另一个好处，衔接恰当。故选G项。
【19题详解】
上文“If you struggle with procrastination — whether cleaning your house or doing work for school or your job or you find that you get all the little stuff done but don’t make sufficient progress on the big stuff, try following the advice.”（如果你有拖延症，无论是打扫房子，还是为学校或工作做功课，或者你发现你完成了所有的小事情，但在大事情上没有取得足够的进展，试着听从这个建议。）说明无论做什么事，都可以尝试这个建议，C项“Schedule the most annoying tasks for the morning”（把最烦人的任务安排在早上）衔接上文，说明该建议的具体内容，衔接恰当，引出下文的例子。故选C项。
【20题详解】
下文“Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top of your list, and then enjoy the satisfaction of crossing them off early.”（把最重要或最麻烦的任务放在清单的顶部，然后享受提前划掉它们的满足感。）说明先完成最麻烦的任务，会带来轻松的一天。F项“This advice also helps to make a to-do list every night for the next day and rank it”（该建议还有助于每天晚上为第二天做一个待办事项清单，并对其进行排序。）衔接后文，选项中“to-do list”照应后文“your list”，“rank it”照应“Put the most important or troublesome tasks at the top”衔接恰当。故选F项。

A First Aid Experience
Last Sunday Tom’s left foot got injured on our way to climbing a hill and he was in desperate need of help. Facing it, I dialed 120 without delay and performed first aid before the doctors came instead of getting into a panic. Having put his left foot in a comfortable position, I rushed to a shop to buy bags of ice, carefully applying the ice to the swelling to ease the pain. Eventually, I wrapped the injury loosely with a clean and dry bandage. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Tom to the hospital.
Only then was I aware of what a difference a basic knowledge of first aid could make, especially in such a case.

Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.

【答案】范文
The trader carried huge bags of garlic and took on the journey to the country without garlic. With the riches he was sure of a warm welcome. Since the introduction of the onions recently overjoyed the land, they were more open to the idea of trying his garlic. When he arrived in the country, the royal guards took the man with the new things to the emperor. The emperor asked him to prepare a feast using garlic.
The trader was very excited and made several tasty dishes using garlic. The garlic received even more praises than the onions, as he had expected. The emperor discussed with his ministers for a long time about the reward for their noble guest who introduced them to the garlic. They all agreed that the gold was not enough for such delicious food. So they decided to reward him with the most precious thing they had to offer. What can be more precious than gold Onions! That night the trader returned home with bags full of onions.
