Gideon Mendel, a photojournalist who has been documenting climate change through his series “Submerged Portraits”. Starting his project in 2007, Mendel’s goal is to make the impact of climate change on human deeply felt, moving away from typical imagery of glaciers and polar bears to focus on flood-affected individuals.
He goes where the floods are — floods typically linked to climate change. But instead of racing to capture ongoing storms and rainfall, he waits for the water to settle and tries to capture the trauma(创伤)endured by communities. His subjects stand still in their flooded homes, creating heart-breaking images that convey both aesthetic(美学的)beauty and profound content. These portraits come from 13 different flood zones across the globe, demonstrating the wide existence of climate change impacts.
As Mendel continues his work, he shifts towards video, creating installations(装置)like Deluge, which is part of the photography exhibition “Coal + Ice” at New York’s Asia Society. The exhibition, showing videos of flood survivors returning home, emphasizes the personal and global consequences of climate change.
“He makes it human and real, that we are all vulnerable and impacted by climate change, regardless of where we live or what our income is,” commented Tzeporah Berman, chair and founder of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, after viewing Deluge. “He brings to life not just what’s happening in the landscape but shows the despair in people’s faces.”
Mendel’s long-term mission to portray trauma connects deeply with his family history of the Holocaust, influencing both his artistic and activist pursuits. Despite the connection, he says, “Real activists take risks and go to prison and put themselves on the line. I only put my pictures online.”
24．What effect may Mendel’s photographs of flood survivors have on viewers
A．Calming. B．Touching. C．Refreshing. D．Challenging.
25．What do we know about “Coal+ Ice”
A．It focuses on historical flood events.
B．It highlights the impact of climate change.
C．It gives birth to installations like Deluge.
D．It displays the aesthetic beauty of flood zones.
26．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Mendel only cares about online exposure.
B．Mendel takes the same risks as real activists.
C．Mendel holds a humble attitude towards his efforts.
D．Mendel’s mission is irrelevant to his family history.
27．Which of the following best describes Mendel
A．Devoted and sympathetic. B．Passionate and humorous.
C．Ambitious and courageous. D．Thoughtful and generous.
C
Marmosets, those small and adorable monkeys native to South America, are far more sophisticated than they appear. According to a new study, members of marmoset troops use specific vocalizations — “phee calls” — to call each other by names. A naming system like this is no trivial discovery in any species, considering how few wild animals are known to have one. It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.
To reveal the secrets of marmosets, the researchers recorded natural conversations between pairs of marmosets, who could not see but could hear each other. They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups. Interestingly, this behavior extends beyond closely related individuals, indicating that marmosets learn names and pronunciation details from fellow troop members.
Marmosets inhabit thick rainforest canopies across a swath of South America, where vocally labeling each individual troop member might offer an adaptive advantage, the researchers note. Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight. In fact, this might even hint at how some of our prehuman ancestors developed social communication and language.
“Marmosets live in small monogamous (一夫一妻制) family groups and take care of their young together, much like humans do,” Omer says. “These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods.”
28．What does the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Rare. B．Significant. C．Complicated. D．Unimportant.
29．What did the researchers discover about phee calls used by marmosets
A．They are vocalizations unique to marmosets.
B．They are abandoned by closely related individuals.
C．They are fixed without flexibility in dialogues.
D．They are used for communication and identification.
30．In which way might vocal labeling benefit marmosets in the rainforest
A．Defending each individual troop member.
B．Enhancing the visibility in the rainforest.
C．Maintaining social bonds in low visibility conditions.
D．Spending more time with closely related individuals.
31．What might contribute to marmosets’ similar communicating methods as early human ancestors
A．Small family groups. B．Similar social challenges.
C．Identical living environments. D．Comparable linguistic system.
D
Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.
Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.
However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.
With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.
32．Why does the author mention Black Mirror
A．To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products.
B．To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection.
C．To prove the predictive power of science fiction.
D．To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence.
33．Which of the following aspects is the primary focus of paragraph 2
A．The popularity of AI-resurrection technology.
B．Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong.
C．Challenges of developing a life-like digital human.
D．The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure.
34．What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3
A．It still has some technical limitations.
B．It helps people build new real-life relationships.
C．It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness.
D．It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones.
35．What does the author suggest people do
A．Strengthen the management of the technology.
B．Apply the technology to making pictures and videos.
C．Put the technology into the market as soon as possible.
D．Educate the public about the potential risks of technology.

Imagine you’re talking to someone and find a big piece of green thing in their teeth after lunch. Are you going to tell him/her It can feel awkward to tell somebody they have something in their teeth, or elsewhere. 36
Beyond issues related to a person’s appearance, feedback is also vital for learning and growth. 37 In workplaces, feedback from managers can improve performance. We also give feedback in our personal lives, like telling our partners the dish they cooked was too hot. 38 We might feel embarrassed or cautious that the feedback could upset the person receiving it, or even harm our relationship with them. Besides, some researchers assume that another reason why we may be unwilling to give feedback is that we don’t realize how valuable it is to the person receiving it. They did an experiment in which they found while less than half of the feedback givers wanted to provide feedback when given a choice, 86% of people wanted to receive feedback, showing there is a gap between giving and wanting. Particularly, the receivers thought the feedback was highly valuable. 39
Finally, we should still be careful about immediately or eagerly telling anyone and everyone how they can improve. 40 In many cases, asking someone if they would like your feedback can be a good start.
A．So what are proper ways to provide feedbacks
B．There’s no doubt many of us avoid giving feedback.
C．Students need feedback so they can improve their grades.
D．So why are we sometimes unwilling to provide feedback elsewhere
E．Constant and eager feedbacks have a significant impact on the receivers.
F．Constructive feedback should be specific, actionable and delivered in a timely fashion.
G．Therefore, we can see that many people are unwilling to provide feedback on account of their failing to appreciate its value.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During my high school years, I always found mathematics a difficult subject. Mathematics problems such as numbers and equations seemed like puzzles I could never solve. I often stayed behind after class to ask my math teacher, Mrs Johnson, for help. Despite her reputation for being very strict, she was incredibly dedicated to helping her students make progress.
One afternoon, Mrs Johnson suggested I join the school math club. I laughed at the suggestion, thinking it was somewhat absurd. How could I, who barely understood basic algebra, possibly benefit from being in a club filled with math enthusiasts Yet, she was serious. She believed that being surrounded by others who were passionate about math might activate a similar passion in me, and then improve my performance in the subject.
Reluctantly, I attended my first math club meeting. It was intimidating at first, but the club members were welcome, and the activities were surprisingly engaging. We tackled mathematical puzzles, helped each other with homework, and even participated in friendly competitions. Mrs Johnson often stayed late to help us work through particularly tough problems, and she always encouraged us to think critically and creatively.
As time progressed, I found myself looking forward to those Wednesday afternoon math club meetings. My understanding of math concepts deepened, and I began to enjoy the challenge of solving complex mathematics problems. My grades started to improve, slowly at first, then more consistently. More importantly, I was losing my fear of math. It was no longer a subject to endure but a challenge to conquer. Mrs Johnson’s faith in me had not only helped my academic skills but had also given me a new confidence in my ability to learn.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了狨（marmosets）这种小型且可爱的南美猴类在社会互动中的复杂性，特别是它们使用特定叫声“phee calls”作为名字进行交流的独特方式。这一发现不仅揭示了狨的社会结构复杂性，还为理解人类早期祖先的社交沟通和语言发展提供了线索。
28．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“considering how few wild animals are known to have one(考虑到很少有野生动物已知拥有这种系统)”、“It is the first time such behavior has been observed in primates other than humans.(这是首次在人类以外的灵长类动物中观察到这种行为)”可知，鉴于已知拥有这种（命名系统）的野生动物很少，说明像这样的命名系统在任何物种中都不是“不重要”的发现，此处为双重否定等于肯定意思，故划线词意思是“不重要的”。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that marmosets use phee calls to engage in turn-taking dialogues and even identify details about whoever is producing them. The distinctive features and flexibility of these calls suggest that marmosets might use them to label and communicate with each other within their social groups.(他们发现，狨猴会用它们的叫声来进行轮流对话，甚至还能识别出说话人的细节。这些叫声的独特特征和灵活性表明，狨猴可能会用它们在社会群体中相互标记和交流)”可知，狨猴的叫声用于交流和识别。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Visibility is limited in these dense treetops, but using vocal labels as names might assist marmosets in staying connected and working together as a group while they are spending significant amounts of time out of each other’s sight.(在这些茂密的树梢上，能见度是有限的，但使用声音标签作为名字可能有助于狨猴保持联系，并在彼此视线之外度过大量时间时作为一个群体一起工作)”可知，在雨林中，声音标记可以让狨猴在低能见度条件下维持社会联系。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“These similarities suggest that they faced comparable evolutionary social challenges to our early pre-linguistic ancestors, which might have led them to develop similar communicating methods. (这些相似之处表明, 它们面临着与我们早期非语言祖先相似的进化社会挑战，这可能导致它们发展出类似的沟通方法)”可知，类似的社会挑战导致狨猴拥有与早期人类祖先相似的交流方式。故选B。

66． Our Earth, Our Responsibility
April 22 nd was named as Earth Day in 1970 and it is celebrated every year. It is a day to raise people’s awareness of protecting the earth, which is vital to human beings.
Covering about 71% of the earth's surface, the oceans on earth play a crucial role in regulating the climate, while 29% of the land gives food and everything people and animals need. In addition, the earth gives birth to tens of thousands of species from the very beginning and is home to a large variety of life. Therefore, it is our responsibility to protect it for our future generations. As students, we can take part in it by doing small things, such as collecting garbage whenever we see or avoiding pouring waste water into the oceans. Besides, we can call on people around us to take action. By working together, we can protect and restore our precious earth.
Every little effort counts. As long as we try our best, we will make a difference to the earth.

67．Several months later, everyone could see the significant progress I had made, not just in my grades, but in my entire approach to learning mathematics. I was actively participating in class, solving complex equations that I had seen unable to understand before. The fear that had clouded my perception of math was replaced by a genuine excitement for every new topic we covered. I even began to stay after our regular sessions to discuss advanced problems with Mrs Johnson, seeking out challenges that would have been too much for me to handle before.
At the end of the school year, during the last meeting of the math club, Mrs Johnson made a special announcement. As she called me to the front of the room, she handed me a certificate for “Most Outstanding Contribution”. The room erupted in applause. She praised me for sticking with my dream and for changing into not only a great math student but also someone who encourages others. Her acknowledgment confirmed my newfound passion and dedication to a subject that once seemed unconquerable, underscoring an incredible year of academic and personal growth.
