第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分)
A
Archaeologists have discovered a vast and highly complex system of ancient cities dating back nearly 3,000 years in the Amazon plete with a complex network of farmland and roads, the discovery is the oldest and largest of its kind in the region.
Located in Ecuador’s Upano Valley, the structures lie in the eastern foothills of the Andes mountains. After more than 20 years of research, the ancient urban centers were only discovered when the Ecuadorean government employed lidar (激光雷达) technology.
“I have explored the site many times, but lidar gave me another view of the land,” archaeologist Stéphen Rostain, lead author of the study and director of research at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), told Live Science. “On foot, you have trees in the way, and it’s difficult to see what’s actually hidden there.”
A team of researchers from France, Germany, Ecuador and Puerto Rico conducted a lidar survey that covered roughly 300 km2. The survey revealed a landscape full of organized human activities, including more than 6,000 rectangular earthen platforms, as well as agricultural terraces and drainage systems.
According to the study, these structures formed at least 15 distinct settlements, which were connected by a system of wide, straight roads. Co-author Antoine Dorison, an archaeologist at the CNRS, said that this society’s complexity is especially evident in this web of streets, which were carefully constructed to cross at right angles rather than follow the landscape.
In recent years, lidar has been a vital tool for discovering traces of ancient civilizations. Lidar allows researchers to survey thickly-forested areas that are difficult to explore on foot and allows for the creation of accurate maps in a fraction of the time.
In August 2023, a team of researchers in a biological preserve in Mexico’s Campeche State used airborne lasers to cut through dense vegetation. This revealed ancient structures and human-modified landscapes beneath, including pyramids, palaces, and a ball court. The team was able to explore the dense area safely and identified the ancient Mayan city they discovered as Ocomtún.

First-Year Learning Community
Making the jump from high school to university is exciting but sometimes a little challenging. To make university life easier, all first-year Rotman Commerce students are automatically involved in a First-Year Learning Community, or FYLC for short.
Learning Community Structure
FYLC is a co-curricular program—meaning that it’s not for credits. There’s no homework and no pressure. It’s just a way for us to support your success in first year by helping you develop skills and make connections. Even though it’s not for credits, it is an essential part of your first year at Rotman Commerce and you will receive a notation (评注) on your academic record upon completion!
Each FYLC has between 25 to 30 members and is a great way to meet your classmates, staff and external experts, make friends, form study groups and develop academic and personal skills. You’ll also get an introduction to the resources, opportunities, culture and benefits of the campus and its surrounding community—all in a relaxed, student-led atmosphere.
The mentors (导师) lead the FYLC — they’re third and fourth-year Rotman Commerce students who have been in your shoes and know what it’s like to be in first year. They want to help you make friends in your classes, so you’ll always know people who can support you in your studies!
Schedule
Your FYLC group will meet every other week. After you’ve registered for your courses in July, we will arrange a FYLC group for you that does not conflict with any of your chosen courses. We’ll send you your schedule on 15th August. Most FYLCs take place on Tuesday/ Thursday/ Friday from 2:00-3:30 pm.

Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students.
“We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. “I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect.”
The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. When a robot arrives, people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food.
There are some limitations for now. The robots have to be recharged regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcoming them.
Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time.
Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down.
28．What do we know about robot food delivery
A．The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery.
B．Only pizza can be delivered by robots to students.
C．The pandemic has changed the way of food delivery.
D．Robots are very popular among university students.
29．What can we infer from the operation of the robots
A．They are operated by a high level of intelligence.
B．The robots run at a high speed on the street.
C．The customers can take the food when the robots arrive without anything.
D．The operators use a code to control the robots.
30．What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim
A．Longer distances to travel.
B．More than one order per trip.
C．Lower costs than drivers.
D．High speeds and exact delivery.
31．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Robots has increased business of restaurants.
B．The pandemic affected people’s daily life.
C．Scientists are making new types of robots.
D．Robot food delivery is increasing greatly.
D
Many years ago, I got drunk. The next morning, I told my dad what happened. “We had some wine at the restaurant”, I said, “and then some beer. It doesn’t seem enough for me to feel this bad.” My dad said something I carry with me to this day, “Beer before wine and you’ll feel fine; wine before beer and you’ll feel queer (奇怪的).”
Out of all the many pieces of advice my father handed down over the years, only a few stick in my memory. And those are the ones that rhyme. This is known as the “rhyme-as-reason effect”, a cognitive (认知的) phenomenon with lots of real-life, practical application. There’s a strange fact: You might be able to remember all the lines of the song from your childhood, yet you can’t remember something that happened last week. When we use rhymes, we break down details into something that can more easily be stored and recovered.
We often judge rhymes more favorably. Friedrich Nietzsche was a big fan of aphorisms (格言). He wrote a series of books entirely in aphorisms because he knew that a well-organized turn of phrase cut into your understanding far quicker than essays. He expressed in one of his books, “We sometimes consider an idea truer simply because it rhymes and presents itself with a brilliant skip and jump.”
Two psychologists, Matthew McGlone and Jessica Tofighbakhsh, investigated this phenomenon. They presented their participants with a series of aphorisms — some are rhymed; others not. They discovered that not only did participants aesthetically (审美上) prefer the rhymed sentences, but they more often considered them more accurate. Despite participants agreeing that aesthetic qualities don’t represent truth, they couldn’t avoid their own prejudice. This led the team to remember the poet John Keats’ line: “Beauty is truth; truth beauty.”
There are two important lessons to learn from this. The first is that rhyming makes for long-term memory. If you want to remember it, rhyme it. The second is that rhyming doesn’t equal accuracy. My dad’s wisdom might sound neat but it is based on insufficient evidence. Keep in mind that a nice turn of phrase isn’t necessarily better than an awkward one.
32．What can we know about the “rhyme-as-reason effect”
A．It conveys a deeper meaning. B．It is less frequently used nowadays.
C．It makes information more memorable. D．It is inconsistent with childhood memories.
33．Why does the author mention Friedrich Nietzsche in paragraph 3
A．To prove the influence of his writings.
B．To illustrate people’s preference for rhymes.
C．To show the complexity of his writing style.
D．To encourage the wide use of rhymes and aphorisms.
34．What can be concluded from Matthew and Jessica’s findings
A．Aesthetic qualities help clarify the fact.
B．People tend to ignore precision in rhymes.
C．Rhymed sentences are usually less trustworthy.
D．Aesthetic qualities likely conflict with people’s judgments.
35．What message does the author want to convey at the end of the text
A．Treat rhymes with a wise mind.
B．Make good use of factual information.
C．Respect the wisdom of our old generations.
D．Focus on the improvement of long-term memory.
第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分)
Many people want to know when they are meeting or going beyond expectations for their job performance. 36 This recognition usually comes from an employee’s coworkers, manager or department supervisor (主管). Work recognition can come in many forms. 37 If you’d like to get recognition for your work, it’s helpful to understand some of the benefits of receiving recognition at work for your performance.
Getting recognition from your coworkers or manager can motivate you to continue doing your job well. When you receive positive feedback about your performance, you understand what your team or manager values about your work. 38 It can in turn give you more pride in your work.
39 This satisfaction makes you feel confident about your work performance and secure about your job stability with a company. Feeling satisfied in your job also leads you to feel more productive and relaxed outside of the workplace, which can help increase your personal fulfillment (成就感).
If you’d like to advance in your career to a higher position, getting recognition can help you prepare for that step. 40 Getting recognition from your own manager also shows you how to give that same positive feedback to others, which is helpful if you want to transition into a management or supervisory role.
A．Few companies want to hire irresponsible workers.
B．Recognition from others at work can enhance job satisfaction.
C．This motivates you to keep meeting performance expectations.
D．Successful job interviews ensure better work performance to some extent.
E．Recognition at work formally confirms an employee’s positive performance.
F．It can be an appreciation email, a comment in a team meeting, or a company award.
G．Formal acknowledgment from your manager boosts your confidence in advancing your goals.

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, daydreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously, but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping crazily, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings. The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting (蜇,叮)! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him, “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” However, the bees were ceaseless, and Andy knew he wouldn’t make it to the house in time. The swarm was gaining on him, and he could feel their presence growing closer with every passing second. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon, and he had to think of something fast. His mind raced as fast as his legs, searching for a solution, a way to outsmart the bees and save himself from another trip to the hospital.

66． Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small pool used to irrigate his vegetable garden. He was puffing and panting, trying to speed up but his strength had run out. He couldn’t think straight! Quickly, he jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water, disappearing below the surface and away from the aggressive insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, he came up for fresh air and searched the sky. No sign of bees. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up and made it to the Nelson’s house. Seeing Andy wet through from head to toe, Mrs. Nelson jumped a mile and her mouth was wide open in amazement. After learning the whole story, she called Andy’s mother.
His mother laughed with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic! You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover.” Feeling a ton lighter, Andy burst out laughing, “You never know that my legs are still shaky from the narrow escape. The bees had me cornered and I had to figure a way out using my intelligence. My father may take pride in me too!” After hanging up the phone, he was the energetic Andy again and it seemed that all his fear and panic had been carried away by the wind! He can’t help thinking about his fishing trip with his father the next day!
67．Possible versions:
(一) Various sports activities between classes are in full swing in our school. Every break, students flood to the playground, running, skipping, or playing Tai chi. Rhythmic music fills the air, motivating and energizing everyone.
My favorite activity is definitely the aerobic exercises. They not only keep my muscles toned but also help me relieve stress from studies. The lively beats and dance steps make me feel alive and refreshed. For me, it’s a perfect way to recharge before the next class!
I hope that our school will continue to promote such activities. They not only enhance our physical health but also foster a sense of unity and teamwork among us.
(二) Various sports activities between classes are in full swing in our school. During breaks, students have the opportunity to engage in varieties of sports, ranging from Tai chi, aerobics to casual activities, like skipping or light jogging.
I’ve fallen in love with Tai Chi during these breaks. The slow, deliberate movements and deep breathing exercises are incredibly calming. They bring me peace inside and help me focus better on my studies. Plus, it’s a low-impact workout that’s perfect for my age group.
I sincerely hope that Tai Chi continues to gain popularity in our school. It’s not just a sport; it’s a way of life that promotes mental and physical well-being.

Out of all the many pieces of advice my father handed down over the years, only a few stick in my memory. And those are the ones that rhyme. This is known as the “rhyme-as-reason effect”, a cognitive (认知的) phenomenon with lots of real-life, practical application. There’s a strange fact: You might be able to remember all the lines of the song from your childhood, yet you can’t remember something that happened last week. When we use rhymes, we break down details into something that can more easily be stored and recovered.
We often judge rhymes more favorably. Friedrich Nietzsche was a big fan of aphorisms (格言). He wrote a series of books entirely in aphorisms because he knew that a well-organized turn of phrase cut into your understanding far quicker than essays. He expressed in one of his books, “We sometimes consider an idea truer simply because it rhymes and presents itself with a brilliant skip and jump.”
Two psychologists, Matthew McGlone and Jessica Tofighbakhsh, investigated this phenomenon. They presented their participants with a series of aphorisms — some are rhymed; others not. They discovered that not only did participants aesthetically (审美上) prefer the rhymed sentences, but they more often considered them more accurate. Despite participants agreeing that aesthetic qualities don’t represent truth, they couldn’t avoid their own prejudice. This led the team to remember the poet John Keats’ line: “Beauty is truth; truth beauty.”
There are two important lessons to learn from this. The first is that rhyming makes for long-term memory. If you want to remember it, rhyme it. The second is that rhyming doesn’t equal accuracy. My dad’s wisdom might sound neat but it is based on insufficient evidence. Keep in mind that a nice turn of phrase isn’t necessarily better than an awkward one.
32．What can we know about the “rhyme-as-reason effect”
A．It conveys a deeper meaning. B．It is less frequently used nowadays.

A．Aesthetic qualities help clarify the fact.
B．People tend to ignore precision in rhymes.

D．Aesthetic qualities likely conflict with people’s judgments.
35．What message does the author want to convey at the end of the text

Many people want to know when they are meeting or going beyond expectations for their job performance. 36 This recognition usually comes from an employee’s coworkers, manager or department supervisor (主管). Work recognition can come in many forms. 37 If you’d like to get recognition for your work, it’s helpful to understand some of the benefits of receiving recognition at work for your performance.
Getting recognition from your coworkers or manager can motivate you to continue doing your job well. When you receive positive feedback about your performance, you understand what your team or manager values about your work. 38 It can in turn give you more pride in your work.
39 This satisfaction makes you feel confident about your work performance and secure about your job stability with a company. Feeling satisfied in your job also leads you to feel more productive and relaxed outside of the workplace, which can help increase your personal fulfillment (成就感).
If you’d like to advance in your career to a higher position, getting recognition can help you prepare for that step. 40 Getting recognition from your own manager also shows you how to give that same positive feedback to others, which is helpful if you want to transition into a management or supervisory role.
A．Few companies want to hire irresponsible workers.
B．Recognition from others at work can enhance job satisfaction.
C．This motivates you to keep meeting performance expectations.
D．Successful job interviews ensure better work performance to some extent.
E．Recognition at work formally confirms an employee’s positive performance.
F．It can be an appreciation email, a comment in a team meeting, or a company award.
G．Formal acknowledgment from your manager boosts your confidence in advancing your goals.

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, daydreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously, but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping crazily, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings. The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting (蜇,叮)! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him, “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” However, the bees were ceaseless, and Andy knew he wouldn’t make it to the house in time. The swarm was gaining on him, and he could feel their presence growing closer with every passing second. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon, and he had to think of something fast. His mind raced as fast as his legs, searching for a solution, a way to outsmart the bees and save himself from another trip to the hospital.

66． Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small pool used to irrigate his vegetable garden. He was puffing and panting, trying to speed up but his strength had run out. He couldn’t think straight! Quickly, he jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water, disappearing below the surface and away from the aggressive insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, he came up for fresh air and searched the sky. No sign of bees. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up and made it to the Nelson’s house. Seeing Andy wet through from head to toe, Mrs. Nelson jumped a mile and her mouth was wide open in amazement. After learning the whole story, she called Andy’s mother.
His mother laughed with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic! You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover.” Feeling a ton lighter, Andy burst out laughing, “You never know that my legs are still shaky from the narrow escape. The bees had me cornered and I had to figure a way out using my intelligence. My father may take pride in me too!” After hanging up the phone, he was the energetic Andy again and it seemed that all his fear and panic had been carried away by the wind! He can’t help thinking about his fishing trip with his father the next day!
67．Possible versions:
(一) Various sports activities between classes are in full swing in our school. Every break, students flood to the playground, running, skipping, or playing Tai chi. Rhythmic music fills the air, motivating and energizing everyone.
My favorite activity is definitely the aerobic exercises. They not only keep my muscles toned but also help me relieve stress from studies. The lively beats and dance steps make me feel alive and refreshed. For me, it’s a perfect way to recharge before the next class!
I hope that our school will continue to promote such activities. They not only enhance our physical health but also foster a sense of unity and teamwork among us.
(二) Various sports activities between classes are in full swing in our school. During breaks, students have the opportunity to engage in varieties of sports, ranging from Tai chi, aerobics to casual activities, like skipping or light jogging.
I’ve fallen in love with Tai Chi during these breaks. The slow, deliberate movements and deep breathing exercises are incredibly calming. They bring me peace inside and help me focus better on my studies. Plus, it’s a low-impact workout that’s perfect for my age group.
I sincerely hope that Tai Chi continues to gain popularity in our school. It’s not just a sport; it’s a way of life that promotes mental and physical well-being.
