B
After drawing blood and running a CT scan,the doctor asked.“What is a typical day like for
you ”.“I am a graduate student with a packed schedule that usually keeps me at work late into the
night,”I replied.Next,he turned to diet.I paused,"T only have coffee for breakfast.For lunch and
dinner,I usually have fast food.”The doctor seemed aghast.As more questions followed about my
stress levels and lifestyle,my unhealthy state began to sink in.
It was easier to live a well-rounded life and stay healthy when I was an undergraduate student.
The cafeteria served healthy food options.And I had a group of friends to participate in social
activities.
That all changed when I focused scientist dream.I lived off campus,and I didn’t have the
time or energy to shop for groceries and cook.I didn't spend as much time excising and socializing.
My drive to succeed blinded me from seeing any potential problems with my lifestyle.
Sometimes,I could feel that I was becoming tired.But I continued on,giving my mind and
body no rest,until my healthy problem worsened and drove me to the emergency room.That's
when the doctor peppered me with questions.He told me I had to change my lifestyle.No pill
would fix my problem;eating well,exercising,and trying to minimize stress would be the only
way.
After that,I stopped working late into the night,which gave me more time to relax,sleep,
and prepare my own nutritious and healthy meals.Many times,I was tempted to go back to my
old routine.I placed sticky notes in my office and at home to remind myself that if so,I'd suffer
consequences.Over time,I began to notice positive changes in my life.Now I have not only
noticed gains in my health,but I have found it easier to be productive at work And I’m able to
remain alert throughout the day.

C
An underwater robot can autonomously check the bottom of the sea to identify plastic,rubber,
glass and metal rubbish using artificial intelligence image recognition.This could help focus
limited budgets for clean-ups on the most poisonous and environmentally damaging materials.
Trygve Olav Fossum and his colleagues at the Norwegian firm Skarv Technologies created a
45-kilogram underwater robot equipped with stereo(立体)cameras,while researchers at Ecotone,
another firm in Norway,produced a spectrometer(光谱仪)that can identify the material that an
object is made of even through meters of dark water.
The robot searches the seabed at a distance of 2 meters,tracing a neat route up and down in
rows like a machine pulling across and turning over the soil in a field,collecting data as it goes
and marking it on a map using GPS readings.An AI model,which was trained on 28,000 images
of underwater items that had all been accurately described,then takes the images and data from
the robot's survey and classifies them.This information can be turned into color-leveled maps that
are valuable to clean-up operations.
In a bay in Bergen,Norway,called Store Lungegardsvann,the team identified a total of3894
objects and classified them into categories:bottles,including glass ones,plastics,anchors,tyres,
metal and other items.The group also added a category for starfish,creating the bonus ofsurveying
these animals in the bay.
Olav Fossum says the problem of identification is made more difficult because objects tend
to be partially buried in the seabed but mapping out the most dangerous material is essential to
make the most of clean-up efforts by human divers.“Glass isn't really polluting.So,if you know
there's an area with a lot of glass,you probably can exclude that from the clean-up effort and focus
on things that are putting heavy metals into the environment,"Olav Fossum adds.
28.What is the primary function of the robot
A.To inspect the undersea pollution.
B.To dispose of underwater rubbishes.
C.To identify different types of waste.
D.To reduce cost of underwater cleaning.
29.How does the robot scan the seabed
A.Following the GPS-based route.
B.Analyzing the makeup of objects.
C.Copying an agricultural practice.
D.Taking advantage of an AI model.
30.What can be inferred from the bay survey in Bergen
A.It added marine ecological side-benefits
B.It checked up thousand types of trashes.
C.It included glass bottles into clean-up efforts.
D.It focused on making out the number of bottles.
31.What challenge does the robot face in identification
A.Glass is excluded from the category.
B.The materials are dangerous to survey.
C.Human divers invest too many efforts.
D.Things are incompletely visible to scan.

D
The trend of shared real living space is expanding in various global cities,and it is particularly
being welcomed by younger individuals such as Generation Z.Given how the current housing
prices in urban centers are going up,the co-living trend might just be the pocket-friendly answer
many young home-seekers are looking for.
While the idea of sharing space with others as a way of saving money is nothing new.The
co-living is a concept that differs from the notion(观念)of “having roommates”.Private
bedrooms,combined with common space shared with other people,are what these two brands of
housing share.
However,the way co-living differs from the traditional roommate arrangements is that the
former comes with personal leases(租约).In contrast,the latter comes with a master lease all
residents are covered with.Co-living is,in fact,a cut-down version of roommate arrangements
that only keeps its good parts while removing the bad ones.
Another advantage of this rental arrangement is the ability to spend more on experiences
instead of paying for living in a larger home.And if there is something Millennials and Gen Zers
are known for,they tend to value experiences over material possessions,and sharing living space
is a great way to promote such a lifestyle and focus on things that matter most.
Whether it is the appeal of the larger cities that attracts them or the fact that they landed ajob
that requires moving to a densely populated area,making new connections in a big city may come
as a challenge to Millennials and Gen Zers and can bring them more anxiety.Sharing rented living
space can eliminate this feeling as it instantly provides you with an opportunity to meet new people
and develop long-lasting relationships.
While the co-living concept is being accepted by young individuals worldwide,many are still
unfamiliar with how co-living really works.Therefore,it doesn't come as a surprise that some
people would be concerned about their privacy and safety.However,we can see this particular
housing model gaining popularity in times to come.
32.How is the co-living different from “having roommates”
A.The co-living means having a common space.
B.The co-living needs separate individual leases.
C.“Having roommates”offers more private space.
D."Having roommates"is a new concept of sharing.
33.What may contribute to the popularity of co-living
A.The increasing world population.
B.People's need to share with others.
C.The drop in young people's income.
D.Young people's values on lifestyle.
34.Which can replace the underlined word “eliminate”in paragraph 5
A.Hide. B.Discover.
C.Remove. D.Strengthen.
35.What is the best title of the passage
A.The Advantage of the Co-living
B.The Rising Trend of Co-living
C.The Popularity of Energy-saving Housing
D.The Appropriate Living Style in the Future

“Aisha,it's your turn to read the second paragraph,”Miss Eman said softly,her eyes scanning
the class as everyone shifted in their seats.
Aisha's heart raced as she unwillingly stood up.Her hands shook as she held the book.
"One..su...summer,alo...along 1909,the..fa.…father…"she stammered.The words
seemed to jump all over the page,making it impossible to read.The class burst into laughter,
which filled the classroom.
“Enough!”Miss Eman called out,throwing the duster(黑板擦)on the whiteboard.The
noise silenced everyone immediately.“Aisha,I want to see you after class,”she said gently.
Aisha's face turned red with embarrassment.“Yes...ma'am,"she whispered as she sank into her
seat.
After the bell rang,Aisha slowly made her way to the teacher's office,fearing the
conversation.She knocked on the door sofly.“May I come in,ma'am ”she asked quietly.
"Yes,come in,Aisha,”Miss Eman replied with a warm smile."Please,sit down."Miss Eman
looked at Aisha kindly."You're a bright student,Aisha.You do so well in everything except
reading.What's going on The words in the book are simple,but I see you struggling.”
Aisha looked down at her hands."Ma'am,I have dyslexia(读写困难症). The words. …
they jump around when I try to read,and it's really hard to focus."Miss Eman's face softened
with understanding.“Aisha,why didn'tyou tell me sooner You don't have to hide this.Being
different just means you learn in a special way.There's nothing to be ashamed of.”“I'll bring
some special reading material to helpyou,”Miss Eman said."We'll work on this together,okay "
Aisha smiled,feeling hopeful for the first time.
The next day,during break,Miss Eman handed Aisha a bag full of special books and
worksheets.“These are from a reading center.They're made for students with dyslexia.Let's
see how they work for you,”Miss Eman said.Aisha took the bag gratefully."Thank you,

join her reading sessions.
