National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America. He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago.
Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him.
The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.”
Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes.
As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”
4. What is the Out of Eden Walk
A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek.
B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America.
C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek.
D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries.
5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers
A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging.
C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted.
6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk
A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes.
B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism.
C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories.
D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people.
7. What do we know about slow journalism
A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal.
C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful.

Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. The writers filed a copyright infringement (侵犯) case in early July in which they claim their copyrighted books were used without their permission as part of training dataset for ChatGPT and similar AI models.
Here’s a critical point to remember: AIs like ChatGPT don’t parrot books word for word. They generate new content based on patterns learned from the training data. The specific words and sentences formed aren’t direct copies from copyrighted books, blurring the lines of traditional infringement. I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts.
The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence — whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment — in this case, the extensive databasets of text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity.
The current case challenges this understanding, claiming that AI’s method of learning breaks copyright law.
Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models.
But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law.
8. What may be the result of the case in the author’s view
A. AI may get away with it. B. Writers may gain huge benefit.
C. AI’s works may be banned. D. Met a platforms may be closed.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The reliance of AI on humans.
B. The application of AI’s imitation.
C. The role of AI in human learning.
D. The common feature of AI and human brain.
10. What will the compensation strategy bring about
A. The ceasing of AI development. B. Lack of sustainable quality data.
C. The protests from the publishers. D. Financial burdens for AI developers.
11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To clarify his or her stand. B. To present an example.
C. To make some comparison. D. To add background information.
D
Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease.
Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s.
With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing.
First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme.
Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways.
“These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.”
12. How did the British researchers get the inspiration
A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research.
C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse.
13. What can be learnt about PDE4B
A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD.
C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity.
14. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding.
15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about
A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background.
C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application.

How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview
Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___16___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives.
Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. ___17___ Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.
Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone.
___18___ You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question.
Connect the dots. ___19___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer.
Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___20___
A Spot the difference.
B. Ask detailed questions.
C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time.
E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science.
F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby (破旧的) and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers- by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want ” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace (壁炉) mantle (覆盖物). “Do you collect dogs ” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections (收藏品) in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt.
Paragraph 1:
The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man.

【答案】Dear Chris,
I saw what you posted on your micro blog. You expressed your anxiety about the popularity of AI, worrying that humans would become too dependent on AI.
I share your concerns about AI. Undoubtedly, AI does benefit us a lot. With the application of AI, the cost can be significantly reduced by employing fewer workers. The efficiency can be improved by accelerating the production process. However, despite the convenience AI brings to human beings, many people are likely to be laid off with robots replacing them.
To ensure balanced usage, governments should regulate AI applications, and education systems should emphasize critical thinking and adaptability skills in the era of AI.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】
The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. Still filled with fear, he hesitantly knocked on the door, waiting breathlessly. Finally, it opened, and out came the old man. Seeing the boy holding a well-wrapped dog figurine, he looked very astonished but still glared at him without a word. Determined to break the ice, the boy gave the old man the gift with a precious card attached, expressing his care. Moved by what the boy had done, the old man sighed and accepted the boy. In return, he bought a magazine from the boyl. The little boy thanked him and said goodbye to him. The old man didn’t say anything but he stood there watching the boy disappearing into the distance.
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He would go out for a walk once or twice a week. And two months later, he adopted a real live dog. People often saw him walking the lovely dog in the morning and the evening. It seemed that the dog led the lonely soul out of darkness and loneliness. Gradually, he began to greet others with a bright smile. How fortunate it was for the old man to open up his door to the little boy on that afternoon, for he also opened up the door of his heart.
