A new coffee shop in New York lets its customers help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities(IDD) in every cup! This is the first coffee shop by Cafe Joyeux, which is based in Europe. They hi re individuals with IDD, providing valuable training and employment opportunities and empowering them along the way.
Café Joyeux was founded in France in response to the alarming fact that over 8 million people with IDD face an 80% unemployment rate. The coffee shop aims to fight against this inequality by not only providing inclusive employment but also leading the way in promoting workplace inclusion more broadly.
The story started on a sailing boat in Brittany, France, where Captain Yann Bucaille-Lanzerac, a successful businessman, shared his passion for sailing with passengers of all abilities. During a trip, Theo, a young man with IDD, asked Yann for a job. Yann hesitated, saying it was complicated, leaving Theo silent. This encounter led to the creation of Café Joyeux, employing and training people with mental and cognitive（认知的） disabilities, which has since expanded to over 19 locations across Europe.
In early 2024, the first American Cafe Joyeux opened in New York City. Bucaille-Lannezac and his wife, Lydwine Bucaille, founders of Café Joyeux, employed 169 team members with disabilities. They believed their employees could provide excellent products and services, and stressed the significance of equal rights and fair treatment in the workplace. They started by empowering their employees and reinvesting 100% of their profits to further this mission, both within and outside their cafés.
Early supporters, like Giovana Mullins, have praised the coffee shop Café Joyeux for its welcoming atmosphere. "As a customer walking in, even if you don't know what this coffee shop is all about, you will feel the energy and the joy," she said.
24. What problem does Café Joyeux aim to address
A. The high pricing of coffee. B. The expansion of European powers.
C. The unemployment of people with IDD. D. The unreasonable limitations on sailing.
25. What brought about the idea for Caff S oyeux
A. A job request on a boat. B. A public awareness campaign.
C. A well-known sailing race. D. A discussion among customers.
26. What do we know about the employees with IDD in Café Joyeux
A. They serve as volunteers. B. They receive equal treatment.
C. They are gifted in storytelling. D. They have to finish complicated tasks.
27. What does Giovana Mullins think of Café Joyeux
A. It needs to improve its services. B. It deserves more funds.
C. It is poorly managed. D. It is satisfactory.
C
Score another one for artificial intelligence(AI). In a recent study, 151 human participants competed against ChatGPT-4 in three tests designed to measure divergent（发散的） thinking, which is considered to be an indicator of creative thought.
In the study published in Scientific Reports and authored by Ph. D. students Kent F. Hubert and Kim N. Awa from the University of Arkansas, GPT-4 provided more original and detailed answers than the human participants.
The three tests employed were the Alternative Use Task, which asks participants to come up with creative uses for everyday objects like a rope or a fork; the Consequences Task, which invites participants to imagine possible outcomes of hypothetical（假设的） situations, like "What if humans no longer needed sleep "; and the Divergent Associations Task, which asks participants to generate 10 nouns that are as semantically（语义地） distant as possible.
Answers were evaluated in terms of the number of responses, length of response and semantic difference between words. Ultimately, the researchers found that overall, GPT-4 was more original and detailed than humans on each of the divergent thinking tasks. In other words, GPT-4 demonstrated higher creative potential in tasks requiring divergent thinking.
This finding does come with some warnings. The researchers state, "It is important to note that the measures used in this study are all measures of creative potential, but the involvement in creative activities or achievements is another aspect of measuring a person's creativity." The purpose of the study was to examine human-level creative potential, not necessarily people who may have established creative certifications.
Whether the tests are perfect measures of human creative potential is not really the point. The point is that large language models are rapidly progressing and outperforming humans in ways they have not before. Whether they are a threat to replace human creativity remains to be seen. For now, the researchers continue to see "Moving forward, future possibilities of AI acting as a tool of inspiration and an aid in a person's creative process are promising".
28. What can be learned about creative thought
A. It is related to divergent thinking. B. It is badly needed in ChatGPT-4.
C. It is generated through standardized tests. D. It is something only humans have.
29. Which of the following is an Alternative Use Task
A. What are all the things you can think of that are blue
B. List all the words you can associate with the term "water".
C. Name as many uses for a shoe other than wearing it on your foot.
D. What would happen if all the trees in the world suddenly disappeared
30. Why did the researchers conduct the study
A. To promote the development of languages.
B. To assess the creative potential of humans.
C. To present creative certifications to its participants.
D. To understand the machine-level creative potential.
31. What is the researchers' attitude towards AI helping people in creative process
A. Uncaring. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.
D
Researchers propose that governments apply a new approach for calculating the benefits that arise from conserving biodiversity and nature for future generations. The approach can be used by governments in cost-benefit analyses for public infrastructure（基础设施） projects, in which spaces for animal and plant species and ecosystem services are converted into the current monetary value, such as the recreational（娱乐的） value.
This process of the new method is designed to make biodiversity loss and the benefits of nature conservation more visible in political decision-making. However, the international research team say current methods for calculating the values of ecosystem services fall short and have designed the new approach, which they believe could easily be employed in treasury analysis supporting future budget statements.
Their approach, published in the journal Science, takes into consideration the increase in monetary value of nature over time as human income increases, as well as the likely decline in biodiversity, making it more of a scarce（稀缺的） resource. This contrasts with current methods, which do not consider how the value of ecosystem services changes over time.
Two factors play a key role in this value adjustment: On the one hand, as incomes go up, people are willing to pay more to conserve nature. On the other hand, the services provided by ecosystems will become more valuable when they become scarcer.
"The fact that scarce goods become more expensive is a fundamental principle in economics, and it also applies here. And in view of current developments, unfortunately, we must expect the loss of biodiversity to continue," said Moritz Drupp, Professor of Sustainability Economics at the University of Hamburg and lead author of this study.
32. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "converted" in paragraph 1
A. Broken. B. Thrown. C. Knocked. D. Changed.
33. What can we learn about current methods for calculating the value of ecosystem services
A. They are incorrect. B. They cost little.
C. They are easy to use. D. They need improving.
34. What motivates people to care more about protecting nature according to the text
A. Climate change. B. Income rise.
C. Population increase. D. Government support.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. A new way to calculate the value of protecting nature.
B. Important measures to promote economic development.
C. The government's determination to protect plants and animals.
D. The importance of university education for nature conservation.

Spending time in front of a computer may cause eye strain（疲劳）. While eye strain typically isn't harmful, it can cause dry and watery eyes, headache and so on. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to protect your eyes when using a computer.
Sit far enough away from the screen. 36 . To make sure your computer is positioned right, try the high-five test: If you can properly high-five your computer screen with a full arm extension, you're sitting too close.
37 . If you're using any books or papers while working, you can strain your eyes if you don't position them properly. If they're too low, your eyes will have to refocus every time you glance at them, leading to eye strain. Reference materials should be located above the keyboard and below the computer's monitor.
Blink（眨眼） often. We naturally blink about 20 times every minute, but when we focus on a screen, this can drop by as much as half. 38 . Since your eyes won't blink as much naturally, you'll have to be aware of this and force yourself to blink.
Adjust your screen lighting. Your screen should be illuminated（照明） in relation to your environment. 39 . If the room is not bright, lower the settings.
Take regular breaks. It is recommended that for every two hours of looking at the computer screen, you should take a 15-minute break. During this time, you should blink, close your eyes, and allow them to rest. 40 .
A. Visit the eye doctor annually
B. Position reference materials properly
C. Surrounding lights can reflect off your screen and strain your eyes
D. It is appropriate to maintain a distance of at least one arm from the screen
E. This isn't only good advice to protect your eyes, but your health in general
F. If you're working in a brightly lit room, you can increase your brightness settings
G. This means your eyes are at much greater risk of drying out when working on the computer

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。
My three siblings（兄弟姐妹） and I lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. Life had been very difficult for us since a terrible disease took away my father's life. We were left in the care of our mother, a woman of strength and love. She often had to make tough choices about how to use our limited resources—including a decision to send my oldest sister to school, and to keep me at home. Even though I was old enough to go to school, I could understand my mother's decision and how difficult it was for her.
During that time, not only had I been kept home from school as a child, I had not been exposed to books. As a result, when I finally went to school, I found that I couldn't catch up on my reading skills.
By the time I entered third grade, I could spell my name, Juleus Ghunta. But I still couldn't make out words, spell, or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of teachers who made me feel worthless. Many of the teachers were not very patient. I struggled in school with a deep sense of loss, shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately, when I was about 12, a young teacher-in-training decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. I was the first student to sign up. That teacher, whom I lost touch with now, became my unsung hero—the person who changed my life.
The teacher was incredibly kind to me. She was patient and creative. She did not ask anything of me, except that I worked hard and believed in myself. Under her guidance, my reading skills finally started to improve. And my sense of inadequacy（不足） began to disappear. She had left me with the gift of literacy, and with a deeper appreciation of my value as a human being.
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。
After my experience with the teacher, my life took a new direction. _
Ten years later, I became a published children's author and went back to my old elementary school.

Yellow laughed, "The sun is yellow. Every time you look at sunflowers, the whole world starts to smile." Red could wait no longer, "I'm the ruler of all of you. I'm the color of danger and bravery. I'm the color of passion and love." Purple stood out, "I'm the color of royalty and power. People don't question me!" Finally orange said, "I'm the warm color. You need me for balance."
They went on quarreling, each showing off his or her advantages. Suddenly there came a bright light. Rain began to pour down. They were scared to death. Rain began to say, "You foolish colors. Don't you know you're different from each other Join hands with one another and come to me." Doing as they were told, the colors joined hands and got together. From then on, when it rains, colors will show across the sky in a great bow of color. Whenever a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to admire each other.

第二节
One possible version:
After my experience with the teacher, my life took a new direction. I graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards. As my family was better off, I continued to receive education. Every time I read a book, I felt like the world opened its doors to me, which motivated me to pursue higher education with full energy. University and graduate school became my new stages, where I majored in literature and writing, laying the foundation for my future career as a writer.
Ten years later, I became a published children's author and went back to my old elementary school. I wanted to personally thank the teacher who changed my life. To my regret, the teacher had left the school. I asked the principal and teachers if they remembered the teacher or if they knew which school she went to. But no one did. However, I still hoped to find her one day, so that I could tell her how grateful I was to her for seeing my potential. I would also want her to see the significant impact that she had made on my life.

A new coffee shop in New York lets its customers help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities(IDD) in every cup! This is the first coffee shop by Cafe Joyeux, which is based in Europe. They hi re individuals with IDD, providing valuable training and employment opportunities and empowering them along the way.
Café Joyeux was founded in France in response to the alarming fact that over 8 million people with IDD face an 80% unemployment rate. The coffee shop aims to fight against this inequality by not only providing inclusive employment but also leading the way in promoting workplace inclusion more broadly.
The story started on a sailing boat in Brittany, France, where Captain Yann Bucaille-Lanzerac, a successful businessman, shared his passion for sailing with passengers of all abilities. During a trip, Theo, a young man with IDD, asked Yann for a job. Yann hesitated, saying it was complicated, leaving Theo silent. This encounter led to the creation of Café Joyeux, employing and training people with mental and cognitive（认知的） disabilities, which has since expanded to over 19 locations across Europe.
In early 2024, the first American Cafe Joyeux opened in New York City. Bucaille-Lannezac and his wife, Lydwine Bucaille, founders of Café Joyeux, employed 169 team members with disabilities. They believed their employees could provide excellent products and services, and stressed the significance of equal rights and fair treatment in the workplace. They started by empowering their employees and reinvesting 100% of their profits to further this mission, both within and outside their cafés.
Early supporters, like Giovana Mullins, have praised the coffee shop Café Joyeux for its welcoming atmosphere. "As a customer walking in, even if you don't know what this coffee shop is all about, you will feel the energy and the joy," she said.
24. What problem does Café Joyeux aim to address
A. The high pricing of coffee. B. The expansion of European powers.
C. The unemployment of people with IDD. D. The unreasonable limitations on sailing.
25. What brought about the idea for Caff S oyeux
A. A job request on a boat. B. A public awareness campaign.
C. A well-known sailing race. D. A discussion among customers.
26. What do we know about the employees with IDD in Café Joyeux
A. They serve as volunteers. B. They receive equal treatment.
C. They are gifted in storytelling. D. They have to finish complicated tasks.
27. What does Giovana Mullins think of Café Joyeux
A. It needs to improve its services. B. It deserves more funds.
C. It is poorly managed. D. It is satisfactory.
C
Score another one for artificial intelligence(AI). In a recent study, 151 human participants competed against ChatGPT-4 in three tests designed to measure divergent（发散的） thinking, which is considered to be an indicator of creative thought.
In the study published in Scientific Reports and authored by Ph. D. students Kent F. Hubert and Kim N. Awa from the University of Arkansas, GPT-4 provided more original and detailed answers than the human participants.
The three tests employed were the Alternative Use Task, which asks participants to come up with creative uses for everyday objects like a rope or a fork; the Consequences Task, which invites participants to imagine possible outcomes of hypothetical（假设的） situations, like "What if humans no longer needed sleep "; and the Divergent Associations Task, which asks participants to generate 10 nouns that are as semantically（语义地） distant as possible.
Answers were evaluated in terms of the number of responses, length of response and semantic difference between words. Ultimately, the researchers found that overall, GPT-4 was more original and detailed than humans on each of the divergent thinking tasks. In other words, GPT-4 demonstrated higher creative potential in tasks requiring divergent thinking.
This finding does come with some warnings. The researchers state, "It is important to note that the measures used in this study are all measures of creative potential, but the involvement in creative activities or achievements is another aspect of measuring a person's creativity." The purpose of the study was to examine human-level creative potential, not necessarily people who may have established creative certifications.
Whether the tests are perfect measures of human creative potential is not really the point. The point is that large language models are rapidly progressing and outperforming humans in ways they have not before. Whether they are a threat to replace human creativity remains to be seen. For now, the researchers continue to see "Moving forward, future possibilities of AI acting as a tool of inspiration and an aid in a person's creative process are promising".
28. What can be learned about creative thought
A. It is related to divergent thinking. B. It is badly needed in ChatGPT-4.
C. It is generated through standardized tests. D. It is something only humans have.
29. Which of the following is an Alternative Use Task
A. What are all the things you can think of that are blue
B. List all the words you can associate with the term "water".
C. Name as many uses for a shoe other than wearing it on your foot.
D. What would happen if all the trees in the world suddenly disappeared
30. Why did the researchers conduct the study
A. To promote the development of languages.
B. To assess the creative potential of humans.
C. To present creative certifications to its participants.
D. To understand the machine-level creative potential.
31. What is the researchers' attitude towards AI helping people in creative process
A. Uncaring. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Doubtful.
D
Researchers propose that governments apply a new approach for calculating the benefits that arise from conserving biodiversity and nature for future generations. The approach can be used by governments in cost-benefit analyses for public infrastructure（基础设施） projects, in which spaces for animal and plant species and ecosystem services are converted into the current monetary value, such as the recreational（娱乐的） value.
This process of the new method is designed to make biodiversity loss and the benefits of nature conservation more visible in political decision-making. However, the international research team say current methods for calculating the values of ecosystem services fall short and have designed the new approach, which they believe could easily be employed in treasury analysis supporting future budget statements.
Their approach, published in the journal Science, takes into consideration the increase in monetary value of nature over time as human income increases, as well as the likely decline in biodiversity, making it more of a scarce（稀缺的） resource. This contrasts with current methods, which do not consider how the value of ecosystem services changes over time.
Two factors play a key role in this value adjustment: On the one hand, as incomes go up, people are willing to pay more to conserve nature. On the other hand, the services provided by ecosystems will become more valuable when they become scarcer.
"The fact that scarce goods become more expensive is a fundamental principle in economics, and it also applies here. And in view of current developments, unfortunately, we must expect the loss of biodiversity to continue," said Moritz Drupp, Professor of Sustainability Economics at the University of Hamburg and lead author of this study.
32. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "converted" in paragraph 1
A. Broken. B. Thrown. C. Knocked. D. Changed.
33. What can we learn about current methods for calculating the value of ecosystem services
A. They are incorrect. B. They cost little.
C. They are easy to use. D. They need improving.
34. What motivates people to care more about protecting nature according to the text
A. Climate change. B. Income rise.
C. Population increase. D. Government support.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. A new way to calculate the value of protecting nature.
B. Important measures to promote economic development.
C. The government's determination to protect plants and animals.
D. The importance of university education for nature conservation.

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。
My three siblings（兄弟姐妹） and I lived in a rural part of Western Jamaica. Life had been very difficult for us since a terrible disease took away my father's life. We were left in the care of our mother, a woman of strength and love. She often had to make tough choices about how to use our limited resources—including a decision to send my oldest sister to school, and to keep me at home. Even though I was old enough to go to school, I could understand my mother's decision and how difficult it was for her.
During that time, not only had I been kept home from school as a child, I had not been exposed to books. As a result, when I finally went to school, I found that I couldn't catch up on my reading skills.
By the time I entered third grade, I could spell my name, Juleus Ghunta. But I still couldn't make out words, spell, or read with understanding. The situation was made worse by a series of teachers who made me feel worthless. Many of the teachers were not very patient. I struggled in school with a deep sense of loss, shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately, when I was about 12, a young teacher-in-training decided to start a special reading program for struggling students. I was the first student to sign up. That teacher, whom I lost touch with now, became my unsung hero—the person who changed my life.
The teacher was incredibly kind to me. She was patient and creative. She did not ask anything of me, except that I worked hard and believed in myself. Under her guidance, my reading skills finally started to improve. And my sense of inadequacy（不足） began to disappear. She had left me with the gift of literacy, and with a deeper appreciation of my value as a human being.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

W: It's not in your back pocket
M: No, it's in none of my pockets. My pocket has been picked!
W: It must have happened while we were getting on the bus.
M:I should have been paying more attention in a busy market like this. I felt someone bumped me from behind, but it never occurred to me that someone could be lifting my wallet.
W: Worried about purse snatchers, I've been clutching my purse. I never thought anyone would be able to pick your pocket.
M: Me, neither. I don't know what I should do next.
W: Come on. I strongly recommend reporting the incident to the police.
M: There's a fat chance of that happening. This is really embarrassing...
W: OK, that's enough. I understand your feelings. Well, if there's one thing I've learned after being a policeman's wife for 15 years is that you've got to face reality. How about getting off at the next stop
M: Oh, wait, wait, Lucy. I found it! It's in my backpack. It was a false alarm.
(Text 10)
W: Once upon a time, the colors of the world started to quarrel. Green said, "I'm the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass and trees. Look over the countryside and you'll see I'm the most important." Blue interrupted, "You only think about the earth, but look at the sky and the sea. It is the water that's the basis of life." Yellow laughed, "The sun is yellow. Every time you look at sunflowers, the whole world starts to smile." Red could wait no longer, "I'm the ruler of all of you. I'm the color of danger and bravery. I'm the color of passion and love." Purple stood out, "I'm the color of royalty and power. People don't question me!" Finally orange said, "I'm the warm color. You need me for balance."
They went on quarreling, each showing off his or her advantages. Suddenly there came a bright light. Rain began to pour down. They were scared to death. Rain began to say, "You foolish colors. Don't you know you're different from each other Join hands with one another and come to me." Doing as they were told, the colors joined hands and got together. From then on, when it rains, colors will show across the sky in a great bow of color. Whenever a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to admire each other.

第二节
One possible version:
After my experience with the teacher, my life took a new direction. I graduated from elementary school with a number of academic awards. As my family was better off, I continued to receive education. Every time I read a book, I felt like the world opened its doors to me, which motivated me to pursue higher education with full energy. University and graduate school became my new stages, where I majored in literature and writing, laying the foundation for my future career as a writer.
Ten years later, I became a published children's author and went back to my old elementary school. I wanted to personally thank the teacher who changed my life. To my regret, the teacher had left the school. I asked the principal and teachers if they remembered the teacher or if they knew which school she went to. But no one did. However, I still hoped to find her one day, so that I could tell her how grateful I was to her for seeing my potential. I would also want her to see the significant impact that she had made on my life.
