From the hustle (忙碌) of city offices to the mud-filled reality of pigsties, 26-year-old Sun Shuangshuang, a “college student pig farmer”, represents a new idealism among young people today — grounding herself in the land and using innovation to empower local villagers.
Sun runs a pig farm in her small village in Yingshan county, Hubei while managing the Douyin account “Black Pig Run Run”, where her 626,000 followers get a glimpse into her unconventional life. When asked if returning to rural farming was a waste of her education, she laughed and said, “There are so many choices in life. It’s time to shed the long robe of Kong Yiji” “People love watching us share bits of daily life, like gardening, cooking, and carrying feed,” Sun said, noting that many of her followers long for this “leisurely and free” lifestyle.
The path of business building hasn’t always been smooth. In July 2023, an outbreak of swine fever destroyed Sun's pig farm. But just when things seemed most difficult to Sun, help arrived. Yingshan’s technology and agriculture bureaus sent experts to provide on-site guidance for disease control and recovery, and the county government funded 1 million yuan for the construction of a new farm. The new pig farm is currently under development, featuring three modern pigsties with a capacity for 1,200 pigs, along with mechanized feeding equipment.
For Sun, using her professional knowledge to open markets and promote rural values is the true purpose of her education. Every two weeks, she hosts a livestream to promote and sell local products. So far, she has helped more than 50 households sell over 50,000 yuan worth of homema de goods. “The countryside doesn’t lack people who can grow crops or raise livestock,” she said. “What it lacks are people who know how to sell those products.”
In response to the question what it means to return to the rural areas to start a business, Sun’s reply is simple, “Just to stay and live in the countryside.”
4. What does “shed the long robe of Kong Yiji” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Hold on to old traditions. B. Pursue the ancient lifestyle.
C. Cherish the image of scholars. D. Quit being a traditional scholar.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Government’s role in pig industry.
B. Severe losses caused by pig disease.
C. Setbacks and support on Sun’s farm.
D. Sun’s financial management in pig raising.
6 Which of the following can best describe Sun
A. Humble and ambitious. B. Cautious and conservative.
C Confident and self-disciplined. D. Innovative and responsible.
7. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. A Rising Social Media Star B. Challenges and Opportunities
C. The Magic of Online Selling D. From City Life to Rural Roots
C
Air pollution from traffic is linked to severe dementia (痴呆) and could be a significant cause of the condition among those without a genetic risk, research suggests.
A study in Atlanta, Georgia, found that people exposed to higher levels of traffic-related fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5) had more amyloid plaques (淀粉样蛋白沉积块) in their brains—a marker of Alzheimer. The findings, alarming for those living near busy roads, add to the long list of harms from traffic pollution, ranging from climate change to lung diseases.
Researchers from Emory University investigated the effects of PM2.5 on the brain. PM2.5 consists of particles (微粒) known to enter deep into living tissue, including crossing the blood-brain barrier. Traffic-related PM2.5 concentrations are a major source of pollution in urban Atlanta, and also in urban centres across the planet.
The Emory researchers examined the brain tissue from 224 late donors in Atlanta, 90% of whom had dementia. Researchers measured traffic-related PM2.5 exposure at the subjects’ home addresses in the years before their death, finding average exposure of 1.32μg/m3 (1 year prior) and 1.35μg/m3 (3 years prior).
“Higher levels of air pollution were associated with higher levels of amyloid plaques,” said Anke Huels, the lead author of the study. Researchers also found that people whose PM 2.5 exposure was 1 μg/m3 higher in the year before death were nearly twice as likely to have higher levels of plaque in their brains, while those with higher exposure in the three years before death were 87% more likely to have higher levels of amyloid plaque.
Huels’ team also investigated the role of the Alzheimer’s gene variant (变体), APOE4. “The air pollution-Alzheimer’s link was stronger among those without the APOE4 allele, suggesting that environmental air pollution may explain some Alzheimer’s risk in people whose risk cannot be explained by genetic factors.”
8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. PM2.5 raises genetic risk. B. Traffic noise harms health.
C. Traffic pollution may cause dementia. D. genetic factors determine dementia risk.
9. How did researchers obtain their data
A. By analyzing brain tissue of the dead.
B. By recording donors' death time.
C. Via testing traffic-related genes.
D. Through monitoring patients.
10. What does the study mainly suggest
A. Diet affects dementia risk. B. Vehicle emissions harm brain.
C Pollution causes APOE4. D. Rural areas have less dementia.
11. What policy-related action might the study directly promote
A. Road closures. B. Brain research.
C. Pollution control. D. Gene studies.
D
Wimbledon’s tennis court has seen its share of rivalries (较量). But for David Almog, a behavioral economist at Northwestern University, the more fascinating rivalry is judges vs machine.
How AI oversight affects human decision-making is an important issue. Drivers and traders already routinely see their poor judgment corrected by AI.
Much of this correction happens out of the public eye, making it hard to analyze. But, according to Mr. Almog, “Tennis is one of the most visible settings where final decision rights are entrusted to AI.” Hence he and his colleagues studied nearly 100,000points from 700 matches worldwide, both before and after the introduction of Hawk-Eye ball-tracking system in 2006.
Hawk-Eye, now used in most top tournaments, uses cameras around the court to create a 3D model of the ball’s track and display it on screens. Players can challenge calls, with Hawk-Eye’s decision considered final.
The analysis from Mr Almog and his colleagues showed that Hawk-Eye oversight has motivated human judges 8% less mistakes. Such an improvement is to be expected, the researchers say, given the heightened watchfulness accompanying the threat of public shaming.
Most of the error reduction occurred during rallies (回合) that follow a successful serve (发球) and return. However, when examining serves — especially those landing within 20mm of the line — the error rate surprisingly increased. It turned out judges had switched strategies. Before Hawk-Eye, judges were more likely to incorrectly call a serve out, but afterwards, they tended to let out balls go unchallenged. For every 100 mis-hit serves, post-Hawk-Eye judge left 39 unchallenged, compared to 26before.
This shift makes sense; missed faults are less destructive than wrongly calling “out,” which ends the point early and may cause dissent (异议) from players and crowds. It seems that human judges take the less reputationally risky option, even if it leads to more incorrect calls.
Tennis’s clear outcomes offer a simple model for AI oversight. But Almog warns similar patterns likely occur in medicine and law. These industries must consider the social costs of errors: judges may under-sentence, doctors over-diagnose. The effect of decision-making are far-reaching. Stay tuned!
12. According to Almog, what’s the rivalry between judges and machine
A. Judgment accuracy. B. Rule observance.
C. Caution in match calling. D. Decision-making speed.
13. What did Hawk-Eye lead to when dealing with serves
A. Few misjudged serves overall. B. More unchallenged near-line serves.
C. Players have more dissent. D. Judges trust their own calls more.
14. Why did judges make a shift after introducing Hawk-Eye
A. To justify Hawk-Eye’s judgments. B. To lower reputational losses.
C. To speed up decision-making. D. To please players and crowds.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Human judgment is always better than AI.
B. Hawk-Eye’s accuracy is beyond challenge.
C. Technology could replace human judgement.
D. Blind trust in AI may misguide decision-making.

Tired You Need “Sunflower Time”
Nothing will ruin your mood quite like a day at the office, stuck sitting at a desk. ____16____ Many people are taking it one step further by having “sunflower time”.
According to Dr. Hannah Holmes, a licensed psychologist, it’s very common for people to skip their lunch breaks and stay inside all day. ____17____
It might not sound like a big deal, but a lack of exposure to sunlight can lead to a bad mood, lack of energy, and even sleep problems due to the way it impacts your circadian rhythm.
Bathing in the brightness not only feels warm and relaxing, but it also releases the “feel-good” hormone serotonin (激素血清素), which is involved in regulating your mood.
____18____ “You are taking a few moments to yourself to simply ‘be’,” says Holmes. “This is a beautiful opportunity for mindfully enjoying the moment, which can reduce stress and reset your focus so you can return to the day feeling recharged.”
While even a quick 10 seconds spent facing the sun will feel nice, Holmes recommends aiming for five minutes, if you can. ____19____ You can stand, sit, listen to music, and enjoy the silence, whatever feels right.
Something else to keep in mind Since the sun’s UV rays are strongest in the mid-afternoon, you should make an extra effort to protect your skin if you’re bathing around 3 p. m. ____20____
“The positive effects of the sun do still occur even with sunscreen,” says Holmes, so don’t worry about dimming its shine. Happy sunflowering!
A. Think sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and so on.
B. The benefits of “sunflower time” are psychological, too.
C. Simply go outside, face the sun, close your eyes, and relax.
D. That’s why it’s so important to take a break by going outside.
E. Sunlight exposure can improve your sleep and overall health.

G. They are less likely to take time to step away from work to spend some time outside.

When she did, it was obvious that the ____28____ child had only one leg. Fighting back tears, I circled the block to ____29____ what I had observed was real. There she was again, _____30_____ crutching along, with her head held high.

The annual school sports meet was in full swing, electrifying the playground with energy. Cheers and shouts filled the air as students from different classes competed in various events. Among the participants was Lily, a shy but determined girl from Class 3.She had signed up for the 800-meter race, hoping to prove to herself and her classmates that she could overcome her self-doubt.
Lily stood at the starting line, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She took a deep breath before the whistle sounded. As soon as the race began, she started running, trying her best to keep up with the other girls. For the first lap, everything went smoothly. But then, disaster struck. Lily accidentally tripped over a small rock on the track and fell to the ground. Sharp pain shot through her knees and hands, and she felt the warm trickle of blood.
As Lily lay stunned on the track, the other runners rushed past her. Humiliation burned her cheeks as she noticed classmates watching from the sidelines, whispering to each other. Certain they were laughing at her failure. Tears welled in her eyes. The urge to quit and go home nearly overwhelmed her.
Just then, a figure emerged from the crowd. Amy, one of Lily’s classmates, stopped mid-race and knelt beside her. “Are you okay ” she asked, genuine concern shining in her eyes. Too ashamed to speak, Lily could only shake her head. “Come on,” Amy said firmly, extending her hand. “Let’s finish this together.”
At that moment, the school principal, who had been observing the race, hurried over. After exchanging a few quiet words with Amy, he turned to Lily with an encouraging smile. Supported by their kindness, Lily slowly rose to her feet, emotions swirling within her. Though the physical pain remained, it was now accompanied by a growing sense of determination that pushed aside her earlier despair.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Amy helped Lily dust herself off and together they took a few steps forward.

After the race, Lily found herself surrounded by her classmates.

【答案】
Should students be allowed to use AI
I believe students should be allowed to use AI as a learning tool, but with clear boundaries.
AI offers instant access to knowledge. For example, smart study apps can explain math concepts with real-time examples, while language tools correct grammar mistakes promptly, boosting learning efficiency. It also broadens research horizons by fetching relevant academic sources swiftly, helping students explore topics in depth.
Yet overreliance is risky. Students must practice critical thinking independently—AI should aid problem-solving, not replace it. With proper guidance, AI can complement education effectively without undermining essential skill development.

【答案】
Amy helped Lily dust herself off and together they took a few steps forward. At first, Lily limped painfully, each step a struggle. But as they moved on, her steps gradually became more steady. Amy stayed right by her side, chatting and encouraging her all the way. “You’re so brave, Lily. Just keep going, and we’ll make it to the finish line.” With Amy’s support, Lily’s determination grew stronger. They passed some of the runners who had initially left them far behind. The on lookers cheered louder, moved by their teamwork. Finally, they crossed the finish line hand in hand, to thunderous applause.
After the race, Lily found herself surrounded by her classmates. They congratulated her and Amy, full of admiration. Some even brought water and band aids. One classmate said, “Lily, you were amazing! Falling down and still getting up to finish the race. That’s real courage.” Another added, “And Amy, your kindness is truly inspiring.” Lily’s eyes welled up with tears again, but this time they were tears of joy and gratitude. From that day on, Lily was no longer the shy girl full of self-doubt. She learned that with friends’ support and her own determination, she could overcome any difficulty.
