Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me —— hear the notes and can bear them in mind—— each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special evental his collage. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory ——I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.
24．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.
B．Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.
C．Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.
D．Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.
25．Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he_______.
A．received a good early education in music B．played the guitar and the piano perfectly
C．could play the piano without reading music D．could play the guitar better than his father
26．What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4
A．He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.
B．He became famous during a special event at his college.
C．He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.
D．He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.
27．Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．The Qualities of a Musician B．The Story of a Musical Talent
C．The Importance of Early Education D．The Relationship between Memory and Music
C
Fire season is approaching in the massive Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in east Alaska, where fires have long been allowed to burn unchecked unless they threaten human life and property. But as climate change increases the frequency of these fires, the land’ s overseers（监督者）are changing course. Working with scientists, refuge managers have designed a pilot programme to send experienced firefighting teams into remote areas to protect not people but permafrost（永久冻土）.
The forests of the Denmark-sized refuge cover a deep layer of permafrost—— frozen ground that holds enormous quantities of carbon across the Northem Hemisphere. After fires remove vegetation and soils, however, that frozen ground often begins to melt, releasing its stores of carbon dioxide（CO2）and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
New research suggests that the resulting emissions, from both the fires themselves and the subsequent permafrost melt, could be equal to those of a major global economy over the course of this century. This could effectively reduce by up to 20% the amount of carbon dioxide that humanity can emit and still meet its goal of limiting global warming to 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels.
A rise in fire frequency can have cascading effects（级联效应）on the ecosystem. Historically, northern forests have burnt once every 70 —— 120 years, which gives the black-spruce（黑云杉）forest that dominates the ecosystem enough time to regenerate and rebuild carbon in the soil. More-frequent fires can burn ‘legacy’ carbon that has accumulated over centuries and can also kill off the black spruce. That provides an opening for leafy deciduous（落叶的）trees, which do not promote the kind of carbon-rich soils that separate permafrost.
Fire control could help to put off some of these effects, buying humanity time to address the climate crisis. It could be a few decades before scientists can determine whether the effort pays off, but we have to try.
28．How did the refuge authorities deal with fires in the past
A．They dropped firefighters by parachute. B．They took no measures if there was no threat.
C．They protected permafrost rather than people. D．They sent well-trained pilots to remote areas.
29．What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about
A．The effect of fires on permafrost. B．The numbers of carbon emissions.
C．The advance of global economy. D．The tendency of global warming.
30．Which is not mentioned concerning the cascading effects
A．More emissions of greenhouse gas. B．More destruction of black spruce.
C．The rise of leafy deciduous trees. D．The increase in carbon-rich soils.
31．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Addressing the climate crisis is credited to firefighting teams.
B．It is no good changing the long-standing fire control policies.
C．There’s still a long way to go before addressing climate crisis.
D．Our effort will definitely pay off if we protect the permafrost.
D
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence（AI）and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms （算法）. “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners（从业者）said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathetic（同理心的）reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor:“relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another, “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
32．What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book
A．The impact of AI on future employment.
B．The approach to living and working with AL.
C．The increasing role of technology in caregiving.
D．The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
33．Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3
A．To explain how to do care work. B．To argue against the automation technology.
C．To prove the significance of human connection. D．To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
34．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The encounter. B．The shame. C．The risk. D．The potential.
35．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The overview of chapter 8． B．The effective way to interact.
C．The new trend of caregiving. D．The factors of avoiding shame.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 36 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 37
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 38 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
● 39 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege（荣幸）. Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 40 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A．Visit during off-peak times.
B．So, should we stop traveling
C．Travel for you and no one else.
D．Can overtourism be avoided then
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

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。
Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her desk mate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti（意大利面）” Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking（啄）order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped（捧起）the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.

试题答案解析：
A
【答案】21．C 22．D 23．B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四座城堡的情况。
21．细节理解题。根据Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland“If you’re traveling with kids, consider an interactive Harry Potter-themed walking tour that includes Edinburgh Castle as one of its stops.（如果你和孩子们一起旅行，可以考虑一次以哈利波特为主题的互动式徒步旅行，爱丁堡城堡是其中一站）”可知，Edinburgh Castle最适合有小孩的家庭。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据Schloss Neuschwanstein, Bavaria, Germany“Set in the peaceful countryside of Bavaria, Germany, Neuschwanstein Castle is the very castle that inspired the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Located nearby is the equally impressive Hohenschwangau, where the late King Ludwig II spent his childhood.（新天鹅堡坐落在德国巴伐利亚州宁静的乡村，正是这座城堡启发了加州阿纳海姆迪士尼乐园的睡美人城堡。附近还有同样令人印象深刻的霍恩施万高，已故国王路德维希二世在那里度过了他的童年）”可知，如果人们去德国巴伐利亚州可以一次参观两座城堡。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段“Ready to step into the magical world of castles Here are some of the most beautiful and famous castles around the globe to add to your bucket list.（准备好进入城堡的神奇世界了吗？这里有一些世界上最美丽、最著名的城堡，可以添加到你的愿望清单中）”结合文章主要介绍了四座城堡，可知，旅游爱好者最有可能对文章感兴趣。故选B。
B
【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍19岁的法律系学生Samuel Osmond是一个音乐天才，虽然从来没有学过音乐，但他只靠记忆就能演奏非常复杂的名曲。
24．推理判断题。根据第二段“They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.（他们说他的能力非常罕见，但塞缪尔甚至没有意识到他能做的是特别的。塞缪尔想成为一名律师，这是他父母的愿望，但音乐老师告诉他，他应该学习音乐。现在，他学习法律和音乐。）”可知塞缪尔并未意识到自己可以当音乐家，而是想成为一名律师，故推知塞缪尔打算当律师而不是音乐家。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段“Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.（塞缪尔 奥斯蒙德是一名来自英格兰康沃尔的19岁法律系学生。他从未学过钢琴。然而，他能在听完肖邦和贝多芬等音乐家的曲子几分钟后就弹奏出非常难的曲子。）”和第三段可知塞缪尔周围的每个人都很惊讶，因为他不读谱也能弹钢琴，故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory — I guess I have that gift.”（塞缪尔自信地说：“这都是因为我有超强的记忆力——我想我有这种天赋。”）”可知，他为自己能准确地记住东西而自豪。故选A。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第一段“Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them.（塞缪尔 奥斯蒙德是一名来自英格兰康沃尔的19岁法律系学生。他从未学过钢琴。然而，他能在听完肖邦和贝多芬等音乐家的曲子几分钟后就弹奏出非常难的曲子。）”可知本文介绍19岁的法律系学生Samuel Osmond是一个音乐天才，虽然从来没有学过音乐，但他只靠记忆就能演奏非常复杂的名曲。所以B选项“一个音乐天才的故事”符合本文主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选B。
C
【答案】28．B 2 9．A 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章主要介绍了阿拉斯加尤康平原国家野生动物保护区应对火灾的新策略，以及火灾对永久冻土和碳排放的影响。
28．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Fire season is approaching in the massive Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in east Alaska, where fires have long been allowed to burn unchecked unless they threaten human life and property.（阿拉斯加东部大面积的育空平原国家野生动物保护区的火灾季节即将来临，长期以来，除非威胁到人类生命和财产，否则火灾一直被允许不受控制地燃烧）”可知，在过去，如果火灾不威胁人类生命和财产，避难当局就不采取任何行动。故选B。
29．主旨大意题。由文章第二段“The forests of the Denmark- sized refuge cover a deep layer of permafrost — frozen ground that holds enormous quantities of carbon across the Northern Hemisphere. After fires remove vegetation and soils, however, that frozen ground often begins to melt, releasing its stores of carbon dioxide（CO2）and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.（这个丹麦大小的保护区的森林覆盖着一层很深的永久冻土层——整个北半球都储存着大量的碳。然而，在火灾带走植被和土壤之后，冻土往往开始融化，将其储存的二氧化碳和其他温室气体释放到大气中）”和第三段中“New research suggests that the resulting emissions, from both the fires themselves and the subsequent permafrost melt, could be equal to those of a major global economy over the course of this century.（新的研究表明，火灾本身及其随后的永久冻土融化所导致的排放量，在本世纪内可能相当于一个主要全球经济体的排放量）”可知，这两段主要讨论了火灾对永久冻土的影响。故选A。
30．细节理解题。由文章第四段“A rise in fire frequency can have cascading effects（级联效应）on the ecosystem. Historically, northern forests have burnt once every 70-120 years, which gives the black- spruce（黑云杉）forest that dominates the ecosystem enough time to regenerate and rebuild carbon in the soil. More-frequent fires can burn ‘legacy’ carbon that has accumulated over centuries and can also kill off the black spruce. That provides an opening for leafy deciduous（落叶的）trees, which do not promote the kind of carbon-rich soils that separate permafrost.（火灾频率的上升会对生态系统产生级联效应。历史上，北部森林每70至120年才会发生一次火灾，这给了以黑云杉为主的生态系统足够的时间来恢复和重建土壤中的碳。更加频繁的火灾会烧毁数百年积累下来的“遗产”碳，还会杀死黑云杉。这为落叶树的生长提供了机会，而落叶树并不会促进那种能够隔离永久冻土的富含碳的土壤的形成）”可知，“级联效应”中包含黑云杉的破坏、落叶树的增多。由第二段中“After fires remove vegetation and soils, however, that frozen ground often begins to melt, releasing its stores of carbon dioxide（CO2）and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.（然而，在火灾带走植被和土壤之后，冻土往往开始融化，将其储存的二氧化碳和其他温室气体释放到大气中）”可知，火灾移除植被和土壤后，冻土开始融化，释放出其储存的二氧化碳和其他温室气体到大气中。这实际上是在描述火灾（以及随后的冻土融化）导致的温室气体排放量增加，尽管没有直接用“级联效应”来标签这一过程，但这个后果是火灾频率增加后可能产生的一系列影响之一。“级联效应”中并未提到增加富含碳的土壤。故选D。
31．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Fire control could help to put off some of these effects, buying humanity time to address the climate crisis. It could be a few decades before scientists can determine whether the effort pays off, but we have to try.（控制火灾可以帮助延缓其中一些影响，为人类解决气候危机赢得时间。科学家们可能需要几十年的时间才能确定这些努力是否有回报，但我们必须尝试）”可知，作者认为解决气候危机还有很长的路要走。故选C。
D
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．A 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》，该书强调在自动化时代保持人际关系和连接性劳动的重要性，呼吁社会为“社会健康”而战。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms（算法）.（社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》聚焦于自动化时代的看护和人际关系，该书警告读者不要毫无保留地接受这些技术进步，称“连接性劳动”是有价值的人类工作，不会轻易被算法取代）”可知，这本新书主要关注的是自动化时代连接性劳动的价值。故选D项。
33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners（从业者）said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes.（Pugh通过论证人际关系的价值以及看到和被他人看到的重要性奠定了基础。她说：“从业者说，他们获得了一种目的感，仅仅是因为有机会观察人们最无助的时候。”）”可知，此处先指出Pugh论证了人际关系的价值，以及看到和被他人看到的重要性，然后提到从业者的想法，他们通过看到他人而获得目的感。由此推知，作者提到从业者是为了证明人际关系的重要性。故选C项。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame（当一个人去看医生或老师时，这种相遇充满了羞耻的可能性）”和下文“all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic（同理心的）reflection（当从业者表现出共情反思时，这一切都更加强大）”可推知，正是与他人的相遇有可能会有羞耻感，所以从业者具备的共情反思才会使遭遇变得强大，划线词指代的是前面提到的相遇。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.（她和其他人进行的研究确定了支持连接性劳动的三个关键方面：“关系设计”，即人们如何与他人互动；“连接性的文化”，或影响人们互动方式的共同实践和信仰；“资源分配”包括互动时间、员工对客户的比率、技术和数据使用的程度等因素）”可知，本段主要介绍了连接性劳动中有效的互动方式。故选B项。
七选五：【答案】36．B 37．C 38．E 39．A 40．G

After that, we will have a city walk around the Beijing Hutongs, where we can be immersed into the real tradition of Chinese culture.
I am sure this cultural tour will not let you down. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me.

读后续写答案：
【答案】Suddenly,she thought of Landy,the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. Catherine thought Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. She told other kids, “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming,“Talking to the long spaghetti Are you crazy ”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said.“Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive me " She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.
【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Catherine是班上最酷的孩子，无论她去哪里，她都是聚光灯下的人物，一群孩子跟着她，做她做的每一件事；而她的同桌——Landy作为班里最高的孩子，经常被同学们取笑。Catherine不太喜欢同学们嘲笑Landy，但她也从来没有叫他们停下来，也从来没有和她说话。直到有一天，Catherine在爷爷的农场看到一只被欺负的小鸡才对Lancy有了愧疚之情，于是决定返校后向Lancy道歉，并与她友好相处。
【详解】1．段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，她想起了兰迪，那个被同学“啄”的女孩。”可知，第一段可描写Catherine意识到自己之前对待Lancy的态度不好，要用实际行动改变。
②由第二段首句内容“但Catherine不管他们说什么，直接朝Lancy走去。”可知，第二段可描写Catherine真诚地向Lancy道歉，并下定决心与其友好相处。
2．续写线索：想到被欺负的Lancy——再次看到Lancy被欺负——决定向Lancy道歉——真诚道歉——关系和解——感悟
3．词汇激活
行为类
①抱起：scoop/hold/take
②道歉：make an apology to /apologize/ murmured an apology/offer their sincere apologies to
③嘲笑：tease/laugh at/ made up silly chants about Landy
情绪类①疑惑：with a puzzled frown on her face/confused/puzzled
②担心：wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead/concerned
【点睛】[高分句型1] Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming,“Talking to the long spaghetti Are you crazy ”（由连接词what引导的宾语从句作at的宾语）
[高分句型2] Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy.（Moved by the scene形容词作原因状语）

【原文】The desire to stay cool is, of course, nothing new.
The ancient Egyptians and Romans employed various techniques to cool down their buildings from the outside heat．Some people have even claimed that the first air conditioning device was invented in ancient Egypt．The ancient Egyptians would hang wet plants outside their windows, and when the air came into the house, it would be cooled by the cool water drops on the plants.
The Romans understood that if they could bring cold water under their houses, then the temperature inside would fall．And if we really stretch the meaning of the phrase “air conditioning”, then hand fans have been used since the very beginning of the history．People realized that they could move air by waving something and it would cool them down for a while.
The Chinese inventor Ding Huan went a step further in the second century and invented a fan that could go around, similar to fans we might see today, although it was powered by servants.

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.
Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.
Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me — hear the notes and can bear them in mind — each and every note,” says Samuel.
Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special evental his collage. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory — I guess I have that gift.”
However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.
Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.
24．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.
B．Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.
C．Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.
D．Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.
25．Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ______.

C．could play the piano without reading music D．could play the guitar better than his father
26．What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4
A．He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.
B．He became famous during a special event at his college.
C．He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.
D．He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.
27．Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．The Qualities of a Musician B．The Story of a Musical Talent
C．The Importance of Early Education D．The Relationship between Memory and Music
C
Fire season is approaching in the massive Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in east Alaska, where fires have long been allowed to burn unchecked unless they threaten human life and property. But as climate change increases the frequency of these fires, the land’s overseers (监督者) are changing course. Working with scientists, refuge managers have designed a pilot programme to send experienced firefighting teams into remote areas to protect not people but permafrost (永久冻土).
The forests of the Denmark-sized refuge cover a deep layer of permafrost — frozen ground that holds enormous quantities of carbon across the Northern Hemisphere. After fires remove vegetation and soils, however, that frozen ground often begins to melt, releasing its stores of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
New research suggests that the resulting emissions, from both the fires themselves and the subsequent permafrost melt, could be equal to those of a major global economy over the course of this century. This could effectively reduce by up to 20% the amount of carbon dioxide that humanity can emit and still meet its goal of limiting global warming to 1.5℃ above preindustrial levels.
A rise in fire frequency can have cascading effects (级联效应) on the ecosystem. Historically, northern forests have burnt once every 70 — 120 years, which gives the black-spruce (黑云杉) forest that dominates the ecosystem enough time to regenerate and rebuild carbon in the soil. More-frequent fires can burn ‘legacy’ carbon that has accumulated over centuries and can also kill off the black spruce. That provides an opening for leafy deciduous (落叶的) trees, which do not promote the kind of carbon-rich soils that separate permafrost.
Fire control could help to put off some of these effects, buying humanity time to address the climate crisis. It could be a few decades before scientists can determine whether the effort pays off, but we have to try.
28．How did the refuge authorities deal with fires in the past
A．They dropped firefighters by parachute. B．They took no measures if there was no threat.
C．They protected permafrost rather than people. D．They sent well-trained pilots to remote areas.
29．What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about
A．The effect of fires on permafrost. B．The numbers of carbon emissions.
C．The advance of global economy. D．The tendency of global warming.
30．Which is not mentioned concerning the cascading effects
A．More emissions of greenhouse gas. B．More destruction of black spruce.
C．The rise of leafy deciduous trees. D．The increase in carbon-rich soils.
31．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Addressing the climate crisis is credited to firefighting teams.
B．It is no good changing the long- standing fire control policies.
C．There’s still a long way to go before addressing climate crisis.
D．Our effort will definitely pay off if we protect the permafrost.
D
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathetic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
32．What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book
A．The impact of AI on future employment. B．The approach to living and working with AI.
C．The increasing role of technology in caregiving. D．The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
33．Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3
A．To explain how to do care work. B．To argue against the automation technology.
C．To prove the significance of human connection. D．To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
34．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．The encounter. B．The shame. C．The risk. D．The potential.
35．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The overview of chapter 8. B．The effective way to interact.
C．The new trend of caregiving. D．The factors of avoiding shame.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___36___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___37___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___38___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights
●___39___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___40___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A.Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then

Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went,she was in the spotlight,with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her desk mate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group.Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates,who were always chanting “Landy,Landy,long as spaghetti (意大利面)”.Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her!
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy,Landy,long as spaghetti”.But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town,where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner,it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ”She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act.“They have a pecking(啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!”Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped(捧起)the frightened chicken up in her arms,whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body.
