FORT WORTH, Texas — If 14-year-old Ruhani Ahluwalia had her way, her days would be filled with time to let her curiosity run free. How can a doctor attack cancer with medicines that don’t damage the patient How can an artist touch a person with a hidden message in an oil painting This is Ruhani’s world — where the pursuit of learning leads to more learning for a self-described Renaissance teenager, who is multi-talented and has interests.
Since age 11, she has been working summers in a lab at the University of North Texas Health Science Center researching cancer cells. She is testing drugs that can kill cancer cells while limiting the side effects on healthy cells. It’s a special mission guided by the heart because she lost a great aunt to leukemia (白血病) when she was in the sixth grade.
“What really damaged her eventually was the treatment and the side effects of it, which kills both cancer and normal cells.” Ruhani explained. Due to this, Ruhani started her cancer research. “I wanted to find a better way to target cancer cells.”
During the summer between sixth and seventh grade, Ruhani began research in the study of cancer with the help of her mother, Parmeet Jodhka, a microbiology professor, who taught her daughter the necessary biology. Working from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the lab, she has finally presented her findings at multiple science fairs. Her list of accomplishments is five pages long and includes placing third in Brazil’s science fair, MOSTRATEC, for her breast cancer research.
“I like learning,” she said, “There is a difference between learning and studying. Studying, you are too stuck in finishing it and in turning it in. Learning, you are doing more for yourself.”
24. What is Ruhani’s research aimed at
A. Testing how the cancer cells work.
B. Saving her great aunt from leukemia.
C. Relieving the pain of cancerous persons.
D. Protecting healthy cells in cancer treatment.
25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Rouhani’s summer vacation. B. Participants at the science fairs.
C. Lessons taught by Parmeet Jodhka. D. The tireless efforts on the research.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph .
A. Learning is the eye of the mind for all.
B. Learning is more difficult than studying.
C. Learning is too much of a burden to bear.
D. Learning is a means of self-improvement.
27. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. A Girl’s Lasting Pursuit of Learning B. New Birth of a Young Professor
C. Success of a Well-rounded Teenager D. Stimulation of Students’ Curiosity
C
Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
29. What do researchers find through camera-traps
A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors. B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys. D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals
30. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Populations. B. Characteristics. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
31. What is the possible significance of the discovery
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C. Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
D
Adding game-like elements to non-game activities is part of app design. Streaks (计数器) encourage users to log into products each day. Medals reward them for completing tasks. Leaderboards add the spice of competition.
Such features can help others stay motivated while achieving a goal they find difficult to stick to. When Duolingo, a language-learning app, went public in 2021, it was clear that game-like features play a crucial role in keeping its users engaged.
But as You’ve Been Played, a new book by a game designer Adrian Hon notes, firms should be very careful about how they gamify experiences. If getting gamification wrong, you can annoy both customers and employees.
For customers, the obvious dangers — annoying people with constant notices about streaks, or discouraging them by showing how low down a leaderboard they sit — are not the only ones. Somtimes, some activities surely need added “fun”. For instance, apps designed to encourage people to save money can happily use gamified features like money jars to track progress. However, some activities really don’t need added “fun”. One reading app offers to unlock animations (动画) if users hit certain reading landmarks; if you present reading as time-consuming, you are telling readers they are suffering.
For employees, turning repetitive work into video games is a technique that Amazon has reportedly used to represent workers’ progress. Yet these ideas may cause negative impact. Forced rankings motivate some people while stressing others out. GitHub, an open-source coding platform, withdrew its streak feature after concerns were raised that it was pushing programmers to work every weekend.
As Mr. Hon observes, games are much less enjoyable if you have no choice over whether to participate or not. Adding fun can work, but only if it is taken seriously.
32. What is the author’s purpose by mentioning Duolingo in Paragraph 2
A. To put an advertisement for the app.
B. To illustrate how gamification helps.
C. To compare different game-like elements.
D. To invite more customers to learn languages.
33. What are the customers upset with
A. The pressure of overwork. B. The brief delay of progress.
C. The awful waste of money. D. Endless bothering ringtones.
34. Why does Github cancel its streak feature
A. It runs out of employees’ patience.
B. It adds stress and unnecessary work.
C. It gets employees addicted to fun games.
D. It causes conflicts between programmers.
35. What is Adrian Hon’s attitude towards gamification
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Supportive.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
It was a sunny day this April, and I was flying with my boy off to Carnavon in my light aircraft to see a solar eclipse (日食). Looking out of the window, I was deeply absorbed in the picturesque scenery below. My son Jacob, 15, who was enthusiastic about flying, was in high spirits.
After 25 years in the mining industry, I’d quit my job to pursue a career in flying. Getting my commercial pilot license in September 2022, I believed this was my calling.
Jacob was a passionate flyer, who always enjoyed the flights with me. “What does this button do ” “How does it work ” “What is the function ” There were so many questions he’d ask curiously. I wonder if he’ll be a pilot some day.
Watching the eclipse through our solar goggles (护目镜), we both were in amazement. After a bite of lunch, I did all my checks and refuelled the plane before flying us back.
Flying back into the air, I headed towards Jandakot Airport, which was right near our house.
More than half way, I spotted some smoke in the air. Realizing we were flying over Lancelin where there’d been some nearby bushfires, I didn’t think there was anything to panic about. Travelling south, we took in the lovely coastline. “This is beautiful!” Jacob exclaimed.
At around 5 p.m., just about five minutes to our destination, the engine suddenly decreased rapidly. Glancing over at my boy, I thought, “this is bad.” As I tried to bring the engine back to life, it worked only for a millisecond (毫秒), and then died again. “Okay mate, we’ve had an engine failure, I said calmly to Jacob. The plane was dropping and we went from 1800 feet to 1500 in just 20 seconds.
Looking forward, I could see Jandakot Airport about 15 kilometres ahead. “We aren’t going to make it,” I told myself. We only had another 60 seconds before making the decision. Looking down at Leighton Beach north of Fremantle below, I saw crowds of people on the beach.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But thankfully there were not many in the water behind the waves.

W: Well, it’s her own story with real-life events, how she learned to cope with what happened and how she would do things differently. It doesn’t give you direct answers, but reminds you to be mindful in difficult situations.
M: Hmm… It sounds interesting but not really my cup of tea.
W: I know what you’re thinking, but you’ll be surprised. Read the first two chapters and tell me what you think.
M: So, what’s the setup
W: She started out as a country girl. After a disaster in her community she led some changes.
M: Oh. I’m curious now.

【原文】Good evening, dear listeners. I am Gena Bennett. It’s Art Culture. Today, I’d like to talk about an Old New York Train Station. City Hall Station was one of New York City’s first underground subway stations. Now called Old City Hall Station, it was built during a time when many public buildings and spaces were designed to appear splendid. Although it is no longer part of the subway system, Old City Hall Station is still being used. One train line, the No.6, uses the Old City Hall Station to turn around. And while the public cannot enter the station from the street, the members of the New York Transit Museum can see the station a few times a year at a cost of about $50. Over the years, there have been ideas to make the old station a restaurant or a place for travelers to the city to visit. However, security concerns put those ideas to rest. Today, the unofficial way for the public to see the old station is by taking the No.6 train and staying on after the last stop.

FORT WORTH, Texas — If 14-year-old Ruhani Ahluwalia had her way, her days would be filled with time to let her curiosity run free. How can a doctor attack cancer with medicines that don’t damage the patient How can an artist touch a person with a hidden message in an oil painting This is Ruhani’s world — where the pursuit of learning leads to more learning for a self-described Renaissance teenager, who is multi-talented and has interests.
Since age 11, she has been working summers in a lab at the University of North Texas Health Science Center researching cancer cells. She is testing drugs that can kill cancer cells while limiting the side effects on healthy cells. It’s a special mission guided by the heart because she lost a great aunt to leukemia (白血病) when she was in the sixth grade.
“What really damaged her eventually was the treatment and the side effects of it, which kills both cancer and normal cells.” Ruhani explained. Due to this, Ruhani started her cancer research. “I wanted to find a better way to target cancer cells.”
During the summer between sixth and seventh grade, Ruhani began research in the study of cancer with the help of her mother, Parmeet Jodhka, a microbiology professor, who taught her daughter the necessary biology. Working from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the lab, she has finally presented her findings at multiple science fairs. Her list of accomplishments is five pages long and includes placing third in Brazil’s science fair, MOSTRATEC, for her breast cancer research.
“I like learning,” she said, “There is a difference between learning and studying. Studying, you are too stuck in finishing it and in turning it in. Learning, you are doing more for yourself.”
24. What is Ruhani’s research aimed at
A. Testing how the cancer cells work.
B. Saving her great aunt from leukemia.
C. Relieving the pain of cancerous persons.
D. Protecting healthy cells in cancer treatment.

Have you ever seen your cat or dog eating grass They do so because it can help their digestion, and many wild species use natural substances to prevent and control diseases. This is called “zoo pharmacognosy” or, more commonly, animal self-medication.
Scientists have discovered that tamarin monkeys use a specific tree resin (树脂) as medicine. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, scientists followed several groups of them to collect data. During one of these daily studies, tamarin monkeys were observed rubbing their bodies on the trunk of a tree. At first, researchers thought that they were marking their territory, a common behaviour in this species. Botanical experts later confirmed that the tree was a species of cabreuva, which is well known for its medical properties.
Researchers decided to place camera-traps in different sites at the foot of the tree to record future visits by tamarin monkeys. The records surprisingly showed that many animals living in the forest visited it. Totally, ten species were observed. For many of them, it was the first time that behaviors similar to self-medication had been observed. More surprisingly, one species spread resin on each other’s fur in pairs. In general, the species seemed to specifically visit the tree to acquire the resin and seemingly benefit from it, either healing their wounds or fighting back parasites (寄生虫).
While further studies are needed to identify the properties of the resin and thus confirm that this is indeed self-medication, the use of it suggests that cabreuva represents a common and universal drugstore for the residents of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. It is likely to be a valuable resource helping the species maintain their magnitude by improving their health.
This discovery could have an important protection influence, as the disappearance of some trees could potentially affect the survival of some animals.
28. Why do tamarin monkeys rub themselves against the tree
A. They are trying to cure diseases. B. They would like to digest what they eat.
C. They feel like occupying the land. D. They are attracting companions’ attention.
29. What do researchers find through camera-traps
A. Many animals copy monkeys’ behaviors. B. Animals can help each other clean the fur.
C. The cabreduva is the habitat of tamarin monkeys. D. Resin can be used as medicine for some animals
30. What does the underlined word “magnitude” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Populations. B. Characteristics. C. Similarities. D. Flexibilities.
31. What is the possible significance of the discovery
A. Promoting evolution of creatures. B. Increasing the production of resin.
C. Contributing to forest conservation. D. Motivating the study of monkeys’ diet.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】

Adding game-like elements to non-game activities is part of app design. Streaks (计数器) encourage users to log into products each day. Medals reward them for completing tasks. Leaderboards add the spice of competition.
Such features can help others stay motivated while achieving a goal they find difficult to stick to. When Duolingo, a language-learning app, went public in 2021, it was clear that game-like features play a crucial role in keeping its users engaged.
But as You’ve Been Played, a new book by a game designer Adrian Hon notes, firms should be very careful about how they gamify experiences. If getting gamification wrong, you can annoy both customers and employees.
For customers, the obvious dangers — annoying people with constant notices about streaks, or discouraging them by showing how low down a leaderboard they sit — are not the only ones. Somtimes, some activities surely need added “fun”. For instance, apps designed to encourage people to save money can happily use gamified features like money jars to track progress. However, some activities really don’t need added “fun”. One reading app offers to unlock animations (动画) if users hit certain reading landmarks; if you present reading as time-consuming, you are telling readers they are suffering.
For employees, turning repetitive work into video games is a technique that Amazon has reportedly used to represent workers’ progress. Yet these ideas may cause negative impact. Forced rankings motivate some people while stressing others out. GitHub, an open-source coding platform, withdrew its streak feature after concerns were raised that it was pushing programmers to work every weekend.
As Mr. Hon observes, games are much less enjoyable if you have no choice over whether to participate or not. Adding fun can work, but only if it is taken seriously.
32. What is the author’s purpose by mentioning Duolingo in Paragraph 2
A. To put an advertisement for the app.
B. To illustrate how gamification helps.
C. To compare different game-like elements.
D. To invite more customers to learn languages.
33. What are the customers upset with
A. The pressure of overwork. B. The brief delay of progress.
C. The awful waste of money. D. Endless bothering ringtones.
34. Why does Github cancel its streak feature
A. It runs out of employees’ patience.
B. It adds stress and unnecessary work.
C. It gets employees addicted to fun games.
D. It causes conflicts between programmers.
35. What is Adrian Hon’s attitude towards gamification
A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。在非游戏活动中添加游戏元素是应用设计的一部分，这些特点可以帮助别人在实现他们难以坚持的目标时保持动力，增加应用的用户粘性，但是公司应该谨慎对待游戏化体验的方式。如果游戏化操作错误，你可能会惹恼客户和员工。文章对此进行了介绍。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Such features can help others stay motivated while achieving a goal they find difficult to stick to.(这些特点可以帮助别人在实现他们难以坚持的目标时保持动力。)”和第二句中的“it was clear that game-like features play a crucial role in keeping its users engaged(很明显，类游戏功能在保持用户粘性方面发挥着至关重要的作用)”可知，作者在第二段提到Duolingo的目的是为了说明游戏化的作用。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“For customers, the obvious dangers — annoying people with constant notices about streaks, or discouraging them by showing how low down a leaderboard they sit — are not the only ones.(对于顾客来说，这些显而易见的危险——不断提醒顾客注意自己的连续得分，或者显示自己在排行榜上的排名有多低，让顾客感到厌烦——并不是唯一的危险。)”可知，用户会对没完没了的提示感到难受。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“GitHub, an open-source coding platform, withdrew its streak feature after concerns were raised that it was pushing programmers to work every weekend.(GitHub是一个开源编码平台，在有人担心它迫使程序员每个周末都工作后，它取消了计数器功能。)”和第三句“Forced rankings motivate some people while stressing others out.(强制排名激励了一些人，同时也让另一些人感到压力。)”可知，GitHub取消计数器功能是因为它增加了压力和不必要的工作。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But as You’ve Been Played, a new book by a game designer Adrian Hon notes, firms should be very careful about how they gamify experiences. If getting gamification wrong, you can annoy both customers and employees.(但正如游戏设计师Adrian Hon在其新书《You’ve Been Played》中所指出的那样，公司应该谨慎对待游戏化体验的方式。如果游戏化操作错误，你可能会惹恼客户和员工。)”和最后一段“As Mr. Hon observes, games are much less enjoyable if you have no choice over whether to participate or not. Adding fun can work, but only if it is taken seriously.(正如Hon先生所观察到的那样，如果你无法选择是否参与游戏，游戏就会变得不那么有趣。添加乐趣是有效的，但前提是要认真对待。)”可知，Adrian Hon对游戏化的态度是客观的。故选C。

67. 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。
It was a sunny day this April, and I was flying with my boy off to Carnavon in my light aircraft to see a solar eclipse (日食). Looking out of the window, I was deeply absorbed in the picturesque scenery below. My son Jacob, 15, who was enthusiastic about flying, was in high spirits.
After 25 years in the mining industry, I’d quit my job to pursue a career in flying. Getting my commercial pilot license in September 2022, I believed this was my calling.
Jacob was a passionate flyer, who always enjoyed the flights with me. “What does this button do ” “How does it work ” “What is the function ” There were so many questions he’d ask curiously. I wonder if he’ll be a pilot some day.
Watching the eclipse through our solar goggles (护目镜), we both were in amazement. After a bite of lunch, I did all my checks and refuelled the plane before flying us back.
Flying back into the air, I headed towards Jandakot Airport, which was right near our house.
More than half way, I spotted some smoke in the air. Realizing we were flying over Lancelin where there’d been some nearby bushfires, I didn’t think there was anything to panic about. Travelling south, we took in the lovely coastline. “This is beautiful!” Jacob exclaimed.
At around 5 p.m., just about five minutes to our destination, the engine suddenly decreased rapidly. Glancing over at my boy, I thought, “this is bad.” As I tried to bring the engine back to life, it worked only for a millisecond (毫秒), and then died again. “Okay mate, we’ve had an engine failure, I said calmly to Jacob. The plane was dropping and we went from 1800 feet to 1500 in just 20 seconds.
Looking forward, I could see Jandakot Airport about 15 kilometres ahead. “We aren’t going to make it,” I told myself. We only had another 60 seconds before making the decision. Looking down at Leighton Beach north of Fremantle below, I saw crowds of people on the beach.

But thankfully there were not many in the water behind the waves.

On the beach, I hugged my boy, thrilled.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
But thankfully there were not many in the water behind the waves. With the wind behind me, I turned the plane 180 degrees, with the nose as high as I could, so we wouldn’t be turned over when we hit the water. “Mum, should I unlock the door ” Jacob asked, as the aircraft quickly neared the ocean. “Yes!” I said, “It would be hard to open while under water.” Then the plane violently hit the water and came to a sudden stop. I couldn’t believe that, in just two minutes from the engine failing, we’d landed into the sea! We unfastened our safety belts, jumped into the sea and swam towards the shore.
On the beach, I hugged my boy, thrilled. I couldn’t have done it without him — my cool, calm boy who helped me land the plane safely. Kind strangers wrapped us both in towels and blankets before medical workers checked us over when they arrived soon after. Returning home, I was very upset about saying goodbye to my beloved plane, which had fully sunk to the bottom of the sea. Just three days after the incident, I had a training flight again. Up in the air, I didn’t feel feared at all, but so calm in my happy place above the clouds. The plane going down was a low, but I’ll always reach for the sky.
