Leo Walsh participated in the design of the minivan, a kind of vehicle, which revolutionized the way families traveled 40 years ago to generations of Americans.
After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in engineering in 1956. Walsh was hired by Chrysler in Detroit. “That was the best decision I ever made, because if I’d gone to GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry,” Walsh said. The engineer proved his ability while making $485 a month. “I was the youngest chief engineer at Chrysler at that time,” Walsh recalled.
Walsh was approached by the manager in 1976 to design a vehicle unlike any other. Walsh’s team didn’t waste time. “We designed a prototype （原型） by cutting down the big vans,” Walsh explained. But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf collecting dust. “We kept proving that it was workable through the prototypes,” Walsh said. Then eight years later, Chrysler’s new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project. “He thought it was a product that needed to be on the market,” Walsh said. “It was decided to produce it in 1984.” With its extra cargo （货物） space and roominess for passengers, the Chrysler minivan was an instant hit. “It became the cash cow of Chrysler Corporation,” Walsh said.
After 32 years in Chrysler, Walsh retired in 1988 just four years after the first minivan was produced. “The world’s best minivans and that is true,” Walsh said. “It was a landmark vehicle.” 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the minivan, proving good ideas get good gas mileage. The 93-year-old doesn’t take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings high praise for his talented team.
Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I have got to say,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of my career. I am very fortunate to be there at the beginning.”
24．What can we infer about Walsh from paragraph 2
A．He once had the idea of working for GM.
B．He wasn’t valued in the company initially.
C．He joined Chrysler to design the minivan.
D．He learnt engineering because he was poor.
25．What was the attitude of the CEOs before Lee Iacocca to Walsh’s prototype
A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Tolerant. D．Dismissive.
26．Which best describes Walsh as a team leader
A．Strict. B．Modest. C．Ambitious. D．Humorous.
27．What can we learn from Walsh’s story
A．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
B．Gaining success helps you become an expert.
C．Your success comes from loving what you do.
D．Success means getting personal desires satisfied.
C
Can happiness be obtained — by learning about it in school The University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course, which launched in 2018, is helping answer that question. Not your typical college class, the innovative course features absolutely no tests or work. Instead it focuses on teaching students what the latest studies in psychology suggest really makes people happy. Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.
Thanks to their course, researchers had already established that teaching students about the latest scientific studies focusing on happiness results in a notable improvement in well-being. During this latest project, they took things a step further. Their work shows that increases in well-being among students are ultimately short-lived — unless individuals practice what’s been taught during the course for ages.
“It’s like going to the gym — we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health, otherwise the improvements are temporary,” explains senior study author Professor Bruce Hood. Students who took the happiness course reported a 10 to 15 percent improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued practicing what they learned during the course reported sustained improved well-being upon being surveyed again two years later. This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended.
“To gain more information about happiness, we’ll continue studying. What we teach is related to positive psychology interventions （干预） that take your attention away from yourself, by helping others, being with friends, or thankfulness,” Prof. Hood said. “This is the opposite of the current principle, but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thinking.”
Prof. Hood recently turned the course into a new book, released earlier this month. The Science of Happiness: Seven Lessons for Living Well details an evidence-informed roadmap to better well-being.
28．What do we know about Science of Happiness course
A．It’s an analysis of students’ exams. B．It’s a research platform for the team.
C．It’s the team’s theoretical foundation. D．It’s the collection of research processes.
29．Why does Prof. Hood mention “the gym” in paragraph 3
A．To offer a solution. B．To make a prediction.
C．To illustrate an idea. D．To raise a question.
30．Which of the following belongs to the current principle
A．Talking to strangers. B．Giving gifts to others.
C．Spending money on oneself. D．Walking in nature with friends.
31．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To assess a new way to study happiness. B．To show a new study result on happiness.
C．To comment on a book about happiness. D．To stress the need of gaining happiness.
D
Researchers from North Carolina State University argue that the addition of a fourth (white-colored) traffic signal would bring different traffic effects.
“Our work introduced the idea of a fourth traffic signal called a ‘white phase’, which taps into the computing power of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in order to expedite traffic at crossroads,” says Prof. Ali Hajbabaie, corresponding author of the paper. “Our research found that the more AVs there are on the road, the more efficiently the traffic moves. You’ll see less congestion （堵塞）. To be clear, this improves travel time, fuel efficiency and safety for all of the cars.”
The white phase concept takes advantage of AVs’ ability to communicate wirelessly with each other and the computers in control of traffic signals. When enough AVs approach a crossroad, this would activate the new traffic light — the white light. While red lights mean stop, and green lights mean go, white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them. In other words, the white light serves as a signal. During the time, AVs are coordinating （协调） their movement to facilitate efficient traffic flow through the crossroad. When too many vehicles approaching the crossroad are driven by human drivers instead of AVs, the signal will return to the traditional green yellow red mode.
“If at some point in the future we see almost universal adoption of AVs, our models suggest that delays at crossroads would decrease by more than 25%,” Hajbabaie says.
Study authors acknowledge governments probably won’t adopt the new concept anytime soon. “Still, we’re now taking steps to ensure that future pilot projects will be both safe and effective. We’re currently setting up a physical testbed that will allow us to experiment with this concept in the physical world — not just in a computer model,” Hajbabaie concludes. “However, the vehicles we’re using in the testbed are small enough to hold in our hands. This will help us identify challenges without the expense — and safety risk — involved with using real vehicles.”
32．What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 2mean
A．Work out. B．Speed up. C．Put off. D．Hold back.
33．What does paragraph 3 focus on
A．How the white phrase works. B．When the traditional signals return.
C．What the white phrase brings vehicles. D．Why traffic efficiency is improved.
34．What does Hajbabaie expect of the white phrase
A．It’ll become more mature. B．It’ll reach consumers very soon.
C．It’ll reduce experimental costs. D．It’ll be tested in a computer model.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．Using White Phrase Indicates Advanced Traffic
B．Fourth Traffic Signal Is Invented to Guide AVs
C．Traffic Congestion Makes White Phase Happen
D．Adding 4th Traffic Signal Can Ease Congestion

We often hear very bad statistics about the destruction of the Amazon. 36 One Amazonian Indian tribe （部落） every year has disappeared since 1900. Unless something is done to prevent it, the Amazon will be totally destroyed in fifty years’ time.
37 Although it is being destroyed by big farmers and logging （伐木） companies, the biggest cause of its destruction is the cutting down of trees by thousands of small-scale farmers. 38 They cut down trees of the rainforest to grow crops to make money. The soil of the Amazon is perfect for plants as long as there are trees. It is the trees that recycle the nutrients that make the Amazon suitable for growing food. When the farmers cut down the trees, the soil can only support crops for one or two years. 39
Logging is the second biggest cause of the destruction of the rainforest. A lot of the trees are taken for firewood, charcoal, or for making furniture. Not only are these trees destroyed, but the trees around them are also destroyed to make way for the roads and tracks needed to take the wood away. Large areas of forest have also been cut down to free land for cattle farming. 40 And the ranchers （牧场主） move on. More trees will be sure to disappear because of their cattle.
Most of the rainforest lies within Brazil. Fortunately, it is beginning to bring more laws to protect its rainforest.
A．Again the land cannot support them for long.
B．So they have to move on, and cut down more trees.
C．The problem involves organizations and governments.
D．The trees are often considered important to big farmers.
E．Poverty forces people to leave the cities and look for land.
F．An area of rainforest, the size of Belgium, is cut down annually.
G．The true key factors causing damage to the rainforest is not as you imagine.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。
At the time I was living in a small village about 25 miles from London. That was the advantage of living there because you could get to London in half an hour. That was by train of course. If you went by car, it’d take about three times as long especially if you travelled in the morning rush hour. The reason why I was giving you this travel information in detail was that I had to make a choice between the car and the train.
I’d seen an advertisement in a national newspaper, which had asked for someone who had some knowledge of computing, had worked at least for two years in car sales and finally was not afraid of travelling up and down the motorway to London every day from a place not far from where I lived. It seemed interesting work and was quite different from the job I had at the time. The interview was to take place at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday morning in January.
Throughout the weekend I couldn’t make up my mind whether to travel by car or by train. At the end of Sunday I decided to drive my car because after all the job was to do with cars.
On the day of the interview I got up at 6:00 a.m. as I was terrified of being late. I usually woke up early because of the loud noise of the traffic outside my bedroom window in the morning. On this particular morning, everything seemed strangely silent. I looked out of the window and realized why: There was a thick blanket of snow on the road and it was still snowing heavily. I panicked. Clearly now I’d have to go by train. I telephoned the station and asked what time the next train down to London would be. I was informed that all services had been cancelled. I asked by whom they had been cancelled. I never knew the answer to that question because I’d been cut off.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day.However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road.

One possible version:
Dear classmates,
I’m very pleased to report our group’s discussion on “AI and Us” on behalf of our group. Nowadays, AI develops very fast. It’s a common thing to see intelligent robots in factories, hotels and other places. We are all amazed by AI’s powerful functions. AI can now write articles for us, like ChatGPT, and even create videos, like Sora, which can create realistic videos of up to 60 seconds based on texts given by users.
In the end, we suggest that we should strengthen the study of scientific knowledge, so that we can make better use of it and make due contributions to the development of AI in the future.
Thank you very much.
第二节
One possible version:
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day. After breakfast I managed to brush off all the snow from the car and fortunately I managed to get it started at the third attempt. Before long, I saw an enormous queue of cars one behind the other. I realized I was stuck right in the middle of a huge traffic jam. However, within five minutes the traffic was moving again and for the next two miles I was driving along the motorway at quite a good speed.
However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road. There were still about 10 miles to go. Immediately, I called the car assistance firm, who promised to come soon. I also phoned the firm I was supposed to have an interview with, apologizing I might be a little late. Eventually I reached my destination at 11:30 a.m. The interviewers asked me some really difficult questions. I thought I’d failed. But two days later, I received an e-mail from them, reading they offered me the job because I still rushed to their company for the interview in such cold and terrible weather and they saw my potential excellent qualities.

Leo Walsh participated in the design of the minivan, a kind of vehicle, which revolutionized the way families traveled 40 years ago to generations of Americans.
After graduating from Virginia Tech with a degree in engineering in 1956. Walsh was hired by Chrysler in Detroit. “That was the best decision I ever made, because if I’d gone to GM, I could have been lost in a big hurry,” Walsh said. The engineer proved his ability while making $485 a month. “I was the youngest chief engineer at Chrysler at that time,” Walsh recalled.
Walsh was approached by the manager in 1976 to design a vehicle unlike any other. Walsh’s team didn’t waste time. “We designed a prototype （原型） by cutting down the big vans,” Walsh explained. But the plans Walsh led would sit on a shelf collecting dust. “We kept proving that it was workable through the prototypes,” Walsh said. Then eight years later, Chrysler’s new CEO Lee Iacocca greenlighted the project. “He thought it was a product that needed to be on the market,” Walsh said. “It was decided to produce it in 1984.” With its extra cargo （货物） space and roominess for passengers, the Chrysler minivan was an instant hit. “It became the cash cow of Chrysler Corporation,” Walsh said.
After 32 years in Chrysler, Walsh retired in 1988 just four years after the first minivan was produced. “The world’s best minivans and that is true,” Walsh said. “It was a landmark vehicle.” 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the minivan, proving good ideas get good gas mileage. The 93-year-old doesn’t take credit for the minivan. To this day Walsh sings high praise for his talented team.
Admirably, the retired engineer helped introduce a new way of driving. “I enjoyed every minute of those jobs. That is all I have got to say,” Walsh said. “I enjoyed every minute of my career. I am very fortunate to be there at the beginning.”
24．What can we infer about Walsh from paragraph 2
A．He once had the idea of working for GM.
B．He wasn’t valued in the company initially.
C．He joined Chrysler to design the minivan.
D．He learnt engineering because he was poor.
25．What was the attitude of the CEOs before Lee Iacocca to Walsh’s prototype
A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Tolerant. D．Dismissive.
26．Which best describes Walsh as a team leader
A．Strict. B．Modest. C．Ambitious. D．Humorous.
27．What can we learn from Walsh’s story
A．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
B．Gaining success helps you become an expert.
C．Your success comes from loving what you do.
D．Success means getting personal desires satisfied.

Can happiness be obtained — by learning about it in school The University of Bristol’s Science of Happiness course, which launched in 2018, is helping answer that question. Not your typical college class, the innovative course features absolutely no tests or work. Instead it focuses on teaching students what the latest studies in psychology suggest really makes people happy. Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.
Thanks to their course, researchers had already established that teaching students about the latest scientific studies focusing on happiness results in a notable improvement in well-being. During this latest project, they took things a step further. Their work shows that increases in well-being among students are ultimately short-lived — unless individuals practice what’s been taught during the course for ages.
“It’s like going to the gym — we can’t expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health, otherwise the improvements are temporary,” explains senior study author Professor Bruce Hood. Students who took the happiness course reported a 10 to 15 percent improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued practicing what they learned during the course reported sustained improved well-being upon being surveyed again two years later. This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended.
“To gain more information about happiness, we’ll continue studying. What we teach is related to positive psychology interventions （干预） that take your attention away from yourself, by helping others, being with friends, or thankfulness,” Prof. Hood said. “This is the opposite of the current principle, but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thinking.”
Prof. Hood recently turned the course into a new book, released earlier this month. The Science of Happiness: Seven Lessons for Living Well details an evidence-informed roadmap to better well-being.
28．What do we know about Science of Happiness course
A．It’s an analysis of students’ exams. B．It’s a research platform for the team.
C．It’s the team’s theoretical foundation. D．It’s the collection of research processes.
29．Why does Prof. Hood mention “the gym” in paragraph 3
A．To offer a solution. B．To make a prediction.
C．To illustrate an idea. D．To raise a question.
30．Which of the following belongs to the current principle
A．Talking to strangers. B．Giving gifts to others.
C．Spending money on oneself. D．Walking in nature with friends.
31．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To assess a new way to study happiness. B．To show a new study result on happiness.
C．To comment on a book about happiness. D．To stress the need of gaining happiness.

Researchers from North Carolina State University argue that the addition of a fourth (white-colored) traffic signal would bring different traffic effects.
“Our work introduced the idea of a fourth traffic signal called a ‘white phase’, which taps into the computing power of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in order to expedite traffic at crossroads,” says Prof. Ali Hajbabaie, corresponding author of the paper. “Our research found that the more AVs there are on the road, the more efficiently the traffic moves. You’ll see less congestion （堵塞）. To be clear, this improves travel time, fuel efficiency and safety for all of the cars.”
The white phase concept takes advantage of AVs’ ability to communicate wirelessly with each other and the computers in control of traffic signals. When enough AVs approach a crossroad, this would activate the new traffic light — the white light. While red lights mean stop, and green lights mean go, white lights will tell human drivers to simply follow the car in front of them. In other words, the white light serves as a signal. During the time, AVs are coordinating （协调） their movement to facilitate efficient traffic flow through the crossroad. When too many vehicles approaching the crossroad are driven by human drivers instead of AVs, the signal will return to the traditional green yellow red mode.
“If at some point in the future we see almost universal adoption of AVs, our models suggest that delays at crossroads would decrease by more than 25%,” Hajbabaie says.
Study authors acknowledge governments probably won’t adopt the new concept anytime soon. “Still, we’re now taking steps to ensure that future pilot projects will be both safe and effective. We’re currently setting up a physical testbed that will allow us to experiment with this concept in the physical world — not just in a computer model,” Hajbabaie concludes. “However, the vehicles we’re using in the testbed are small enough to hold in our hands. This will help us identify challenges without the expense — and safety risk — involved with using real vehicles.”
32．What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 2mean
A．Work out. B．Speed up. C．Put off. D．Hold back.
33．What does paragraph 3 focus on
A．How the white phrase works. B．When the traditional signals return.
C．What the white phrase brings vehicles. D．Why traffic efficiency is improved.
34．What does Hajbabaie expect of the white phrase
A．It’ll become more mature. B．It’ll reach consumers very soon.
C．It’ll reduce experimental costs. D．It’ll be tested in a computer model.
35．What’s the best title for the text
A．Using White Phrase Indicates Advanced Traffic
B．Fourth Traffic Signal Is Invented to Guide AVs
C．Traffic Congestion Makes White Phase Happen
D．Adding 4th Traffic Signal Can Ease Congestion

We often hear very bad statistics about the destruction of the Amazon. 36 One Amazonian Indian tribe （部落） every year has disappeared since 1900. Unless something is done to prevent it, the Amazon will be totally destroyed in fifty years’ time.
37 Although it is being destroyed by big farmers and logging （伐木） companies, the biggest cause of its destruction is the cutting down of trees by thousands of small-scale farmers. 38 They cut down trees of the rainforest to grow crops to make money. The soil of the Amazon is perfect for plants as long as there are trees. It is the trees that recycle the nutrients that make the Amazon suitable for growing food. When the farmers cut down the trees, the soil can only support crops for one or two years. 39
Logging is the second biggest cause of the destruction of the rainforest. A lot of the trees are taken for firewood, charcoal, or for making furniture. Not only are these trees destroyed, but the trees around them are also destroyed to make way for the roads and tracks needed to take the wood away. Large areas of forest have also been cut down to free land for cattle farming. 40 And the ranchers （牧场主） move on. More trees will be sure to disappear because of their cattle.
Most of the rainforest lies within Brazil. Fortunately, it is beginning to bring more laws to protect its rainforest.
A．Again the land cannot support them for long.
B．So they have to move on, and cut down more trees.
C．The problem involves organizations and governments.
D．The trees are often considered important to big farmers.
E．Poverty forces people to leave the cities and look for land.
F．An area of rainforest, the size of Belgium, is cut down annually.

第二节 （满分25分）
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。
At the time I was living in a small village about 25 miles from London. That was the advantage of living there because you could get to London in half an hour. That was by train of course. If you went by car, it’d take about three times as long especially if you travelled in the morning rush hour. The reason why I was giving you this travel information in detail was that I had to make a choice between the car and the train.
I’d seen an advertisement in a national newspaper, which had asked for someone who had some knowledge of computing, had worked at least for two years in car sales and finally was not afraid of travelling up and down the motorway to London every day from a place not far from where I lived. It seemed interesting work and was quite different from the job I had at the time. The interview was to take place at 10:00 a.m. on a Monday morning in January.
Throughout the weekend I couldn’t make up my mind whether to travel by car or by train. At the end of Sunday I decided to drive my car because after all the job was to do with cars.
On the day of the interview I got up at 6:00 a.m. as I was terrified of being late. I usually woke up early because of the loud noise of the traffic outside my bedroom window in the morning. On this particular morning, everything seemed strangely silent. I looked out of the window and realized why: There was a thick blanket of snow on the road and it was still snowing heavily. I panicked. Clearly now I’d have to go by train. I telephoned the station and asked what time the next train down to London would be. I was informed that all services had been cancelled. I asked by whom they had been cancelled. I never knew the answer to that question because I’d been cut off.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day.However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road.

第一节
One possible version:
Dear classmates,
I’m very pleased to report our group’s discussion on “AI and Us” on behalf of our group. Nowadays, AI develops very fast. It’s a common thing to see intelligent robots in factories, hotels and other places. We are all amazed by AI’s powerful functions. AI can now write articles for us, like ChatGPT, and even create videos, like Sora, which can create realistic videos of up to 60 seconds based on texts given by users.
In the end, we suggest that we should strengthen the study of scientific knowledge, so that we can make better use of it and make due contributions to the development of AI in the future.
Thank you very much.
第二节
One possible version:
Obviously I would have to rethink of driving for the day. After breakfast I managed to brush off all the snow from the car and fortunately I managed to get it started at the third attempt. Before long, I saw an enormous queue of cars one behind the other. I realized I was stuck right in the middle of a huge traffic jam. However, within five minutes the traffic was moving again and for the next two miles I was driving along the motorway at quite a good speed.
However, soon after, my car broke down because of the slippery road. There were still about 10 miles to go. Immediately, I called the car assistance firm, who promised to come soon. I also phoned the firm I was supposed to have an interview with, apologizing I might be a little late. Eventually I reached my destination at 11:30 a.m. The interviewers asked me some really difficult questions. I thought I’d failed. But two days later, I received an e-mail from them, reading they offered me the job because I still rushed to their company for the interview in such cold and terrible weather and they saw my potential excellent qualities.
