Yueyang Tower is one of the three famous towers in Jiangnan China. It has existed for almost two thousand years, so, we’re talking some real ancient history here.
Many literati through history, especially Tang Dynasty poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu, described Yueyang Tower, making it exceptionally well-known throughout China. In the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan wrote a memorial for the restored Yueyang Tower, and since then the name of the tower has been forever remembered in Chinese culture.
Yueyang Tower has been repaired and rebuilt many times. The existing main building has three floors decorated with cornices (飞檐), Ruyi Arch wooden architecture, and a helmet roof, which is really unmistakably Chinese style. The building is entirely constructed from wood using Chinese traditional mortise and tenon technology (榫卯技术), so the whole building does not use a single iron nail, brick or cement.
On the first to third floors of Yueyang Tower, there are carved screens of “The Yueyang Tower” as well as poems couplets, carvings, etc, related to Yucyang Tower, including handwritten works by Mao Zedong and Li Bai. Climbing up to the third floor and leaning against the railing, one can see Dongting Lake from afar, where the water and the sky merge into one color and the wind and moon are boundless.
Today I’ve taken you on a journey through time and space in Yueyang Tower. So why don’t you come and see it for yourselves

Born in Steventon, Hampshire in 1775, Jane Austen was the seventh daughter of an eight-child family. Her father was a minister and lived on a reasonable income of 600 a year. However, although they were middle class, they didn’t have enough money for life. Jane Austen was brought up with her five brothers and her elder sister Cassandra. Their relationship was very close, especially the two sisters’.
Jane Austen wrote 6 novels. The earliest one, Sense and Sensibility, was begun about 1795. But not until 1811 did she succeed in publishing it with the help of her brother, and on release, it sold well. However, Jane achieved little fame as her books were published anonymously (化名地), owing to the prejudice against women writers.
Jane spent most of her life being separated from certain sections of society. It was not surprising then that her novels focused on two or three families of the middle or upper classes. And at that time marriage was a big issue facing women and men; often financial factors were the most important in deciding marriages. As an author, Jane objected to these financial motivations in her novels. For example, in Pride and Prejudice, her most famous novel, the main character’s mother is ridiculed for her ambitions to marry her daughters for maximum financial rewards.
Jane Austen masterfully blends irony, social criticism, and humor in her writing. As one of England’s most beloved novelists, she explored themes of love and class. The strength of Jane’s novels was her ability to gain in-depth insights into the character and nature of human relationships. During her lifetime, the novels were reasonably popular. One of her strongest supporters was Walter Scott. He said of her novels: “That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements of feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with.”
4. Which of the following best describes Jane Austen’s family
A. Wealthy and noble. B. Poor but well-connected.
C. Middle-class but distant. D. Working-class with literary ambitions.
5. Why were Jane Austen’s novels published under an assumed name
A. To protect her privacy. B. To achieve instant fame.
C. To stay away from attention. D. To avoid social discrimination.
6. The author mentions Pride and Prejudice in Paragraph 3 to present ______.
A. Austen’s personal experiences.
B. Austen’s limited social perspective.
C. Austen’s criticism on money-based marriage values.
D. Austen’s different attitude towards marriage from her mother’s.
7. What contributes to Austen’s success according to Walter Scott
A Her family’s support. B. Her talent for writing.
C. Her ambition to succeed. D. Her sharp social commentary.
C
Scott Cooper is a 66-ycar-old Australian with dementia (痴呆症). Every day, he struggles with forgetting where he puts his keys and sometimes can’t even recognize the faces of his dearest friends. But he refuses to let this tough condition stop him from exploring the world! He and his wife Jill take regular trips — twice a year. “Traveling helps me keep enjoying life,” Scott said. “Although it can be tiring sometimes, these new experiences make my mind and body active.”
Scientists predict that by 2050, around 153 million people globally will suffer from dementia. However, a recent study interviewing over a hundred dementia patients in China, reveals that travel can significantly benefit these patients. The new sights, smells, tastes, and social interactions during travel offer crucial cognitive and sensory stimulation.
According to Jun Wen, a tourism lecturer at Edith Cowan University and researcher, the expectation and planning in tourism stimulate brain function. Meanwhile, the exercise often aligns with dementia treatment plans. Warren Harding, a dementia care professor, adds that travel helps patients build confidence, trigger memories, and gain independence, serving as a valuable addition to non-drug treatments by offering emotional and social benefits.
Around the world, countries are introducing creative programs to make travel more accessible for people with dementia. In Western Australia, over 20 venues host “memory café” events, where patients socialize over morning tea. Near Melbourne, Australia’s first dementia-friendly sensory path winds through a forest.
These diverse efforts collectively represent a growing global trend. By focusing on the unique needs of dementia patients, these actions not only enhance the travel experience for this community but also set an example for more friendly and caring tourism worldwide. In years to come, aged care experts hope people like Scott and Jill Cooper can holiday with greater case, creating memories from travel, no matter how long they last.
8. Why is Scott Cooper’s story mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To promote his way of life. B. To show his passion for travel.
C. To reveal a potential treatment for dementia. D. To reflect his tough condition with dementia.
9. What might benefit patients with dementia during travel according to the study
A. Chatting with locals. B. Recalling fond memories.
C. Enjoying favourite foods. D. Admiring familiar scenery.
10. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 3 mean
A. conflicts with B. agrees with
C. contrasts with D. deals with
11. What can we know about the dementia-friendly travel programs
A. They make it accessible to travel in Australia.
B. They meet dementia patients’ medication needs.
C. They improve travel experience and global tourism.
D. They help dementia patients create long-term memories.
D
Traditional methods of diagnosing mental health conditions rely on direct conversations between patients and mental specialists. However, these methods often face challenges such as follow-up track over time and reliance on the doctors’ subjective judgments. To address these issues, scientists are exploring AI tools that can automate the process.
Researchers at South-Central Minzu University in China developed an AI acoustic (声学的) model that detects slight changes in a patient’s voice. It analyzes the sound properties of speech, such as pitch, rhythm, and tone, to identify markers of mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. Unlike text-based AI, which can be influenced by cultural biases (偏见) or language barriers, acoustic model focuses on how words are spoken rather than the words themselves.
To detect minor changes in a patient’s voice, the model undergoes pre-training on large speech datasets to recognize general speech patterns. This foundational step allows the system to identify complex audio variations that may signal mental health issues. The model is then fine-tuned using recordings of depressed patients to specialize in detecting depression. Results showed 96% accuracy in detecting depression and 95% accuracy in categorizing its severity into four levels. Another method, developed by researchers at Sorbonne University in Paris, uses smartphone-recorded sound waves and then transforms them into spectrogram (声谱图). The AI model analyzes these visual maps to detect mental health conditions. Though still in early stages, this approach shows promise.
The potential applications are vast. AI-based speech analysis can help patients who struggle to express clearly about their mental state, works across languages, and is particularly useful in rural areas with limited mental health resources. It can also assist overburdened clinicians by classifying patients and monitoring those undergoing home treatment.
While diagnosis is vital, personalized treatment is the next step. AI models could help doctors tailor treatments based on specific symptoms, such as memory issues or exhaustion in depression patients, further enhancing mental health care.
12. What’s the AI tools’ advantage over traditional diagnosis methods
A. It talks directly to patients. B. It is totally independent of doctors.
C. It provides more accurate diagnosis. D. It is more objective and saves time.
13. How does the AI acoustic model work
A. By understanding what patients say. B. By detecting the changes of patients.
C. By analyzing patients’ ways of speaking. D. By removing patients’ language barriers.
14. What may AI-based speech analysis help patients with
A. Clarifying mental conditions. B. Translating clinician’s advice.
C. Relieving their heavy burden. D. Gaining more home treatment.
15. What is the best title for this article
A. The Promising future of AI-Models
B. The Limitations of Traditional Psychiatry
C. AI Diagnosis: A Revolutionary Tool for Mental Health
D. AI Models: An Effective Treatment in the Medical Industry

4 signs your body is begging for a break
If the smoke alarm in your house is beeping, you’ll spring into action. Yet we’re not so fast to react to the alarm bells ringing in our own bodies, letting us know we need to slow down.
“A series of changes happen in the body when the stress response is activated in a sustained way,” says Jennifer King, assistant director of the Center on Trauma and Adversity at Case Western Reserve University. ____16____. Here are the signs to watch out for.
Emotional changes
If you need a break, you might feel more anxious, more depressed, or more overwhelmed than usual. Your thoughts might start wandering. And you’ll likely “feel like you can’t remember things,” says Dr. Gerda Maissel, a physician and patient advocate. Stress can also prevent you from enjoying activities you once loved. ____17____ It’s a hint that something is off.
Tense relationship
“You might notice you’re feeling a little more emotional and bad-tempered” King says. “If you’re finding that you want to isolate a little more, and keep to yourself — if that’s something you weren’t already doing — that can be because of stress.” ____18____. Often, other people are the first to notice warning signs.
____19____

You may also experience digestive difficulties as well as appetite changes that cause you to gain or lose weight. ____20____
If you realize your body is pushing you toward a break, try claiming just a few minutes of calm with something pleasurable or fun. Taking a brief rest, “allows your body to metabolize some of what you’ve been taking in”, she says, “and to feel ready for whatever is coming next.”

47. 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。
For the rest of the week, Joe practiced kicking football hard, concentrating on his each kicking. Sometimes Joe hit the ball straight. Sometimes it went wide again. But it seemed that the more he believed he could do it, the easier it was.
“I’m not a joke now,” thought Joe. “Not a joke at all!” But a practice wasn’t like a real match and his boots were still not giving him enough power. He should have told his mum and dad about it straight away but, of course, he didn’t. He was always shy to ask for things.
Finally, late on the night before the match, he could hold himself back no longer.
“Dad, I haven’t got any proper football boots…” he said.
“Ah,” said Dad, “I might be able to help you there.”
At the words, Joe was excited. New boots! He thought. “He’s got me some new boots! He must have got me them for Christmas,” thought Joe, “But now that I’m in an important match, he’s giving them to me early. Wonderful!”
Dad went upstairs. Joe excitedly tried to watch the football preview on TV. He wasn’t playing for Manchester United or Liverpool, of course, but he was part of it all now; part of the thrill. His legs twitched with every kick on the screen. His head shook with every centre. And all the time, his mind was racing ahead to his own great game the next morning, in his super new boots.
It was ages before his dad came downstairs again. He put a large pair of shiny black boots in front of Joe. As he stared at them, the boy felt as if someone had poured ice into his brain. The boots were awful!
“Good, eh ” said his dad. Joe found it hard to speak. He had never seen anything like them before. They weren’t low-cut, soft or… They had big, hard square toes, great big long studs (饰扣) and they were high at the ankle. They were his dad’s old rugby boots, polished up.
“Have a try!” Dad encouraged, presenting Joe the boots.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the boots, Joe stepped onto the field.

【答案】Hi Peter,
I’m Li Hua, a local from Yueyang. Excited to hear that you’re planning a trip to our city and eager to try local delicacies, I’m keen to share some of my top recommendations.
First, Yueyang Silver Fish is a must-try. These delicate fish are tender and boneless, making them perfect snacks. What can’t be missed is our crayfish, which are typically prepared in spicy sauce, giving them a special and finger-licking flavor. Additionally, try our smoked pork, made with traditional methods. If you like smoked bacon, you’ll definitely crave more.
I hope you have an amazing culinary adventure in Yueyang!

【47题答案】
【答案】
“Have a try!” Dad encouraged, presenting Joe the boots. Joe frowned at the big, heavy shoes, their leather surface shinning. “They are for rugby, not football,” he complained. “Boots won’t score goals,” Dad smiled, patting his shoulders. “It’s your heart and effort that win matches.” Joe stared at the clunky shoes, recalling nights spent perfecting his tricks. Slowly, Dad’s words sank in — a heavy boot couldn’t hold back the determination in his heart. Nodding silently, he tightened the laces, a spark of resolve replacing his doubt.
With the boots, Joe stepped onto the field. The shoes felt like stones on his feet, and every run made his heels ache. But as the match went on, he forgot the discomfort. In the final minute, a pass flew toward him; he jumped, boots awkward but his strike firm. The ball hit the back of the net! Teammates shouted and hugged him. Later, smiling and sweaty, Joe told Dad, “You were right. It’s about believing in myself.” The old rugby boots hung by his bed that night — not as a reminder of lack, but a sign of his new confidence: true strength comes from within.
