From the concert halls of Europe to the tech industries of the United States, C. J. Santos has created a story across the globe.
Born in Brazil, Santos moved to Switzerland at the age of 18, and earned degrees in both music performance and business administration there in the university. During his next 10 years of “intense” career as a professional musician, he spent most of his time on the road. “I had the honor to perform in the top concert halls in Europe,” Santos said. “It really wore me out to be constantly traveling and performing, but it allowed me to see the world and understand it in its full diversity. This was a unique experience, and I carry its benefits with me to this day.”
Through these experiences, Santos was able to become fluent in six languages. With these skills under his belt, Santos worked with his wife, who is also fluent in four languages, to develop a small translation business.
“Running it with no previous business experience was a challenging but exciting learning-by-doing experience,” Santos said. “In addition, the translation industry experienced a massive digital transformation in the last decade.”
This brought Santos to an MBA/M. S. program in business analytics and information management, where he got rich experience, knowledge and perspectives in different industries. The program provided him with something he clearly enjoys in life: variety. “It helped me take the most advantage of the translation industry’s digital transformation. What I gained from the program is more than what I managed in the 15 years in Europe,” he added.
As Santos continues to grow his business, he’s also working as an advisor. “The world’s digital transformation has advanced at high speed,” he said. “To me, it’s very exciting to be a valuable resource to those who need help to jump onboard the digital express (数字快车).”
4. What did Santos think of his career as a musician
A. innovative but stressful. B. Unique and enjoyable.
C. Tiring but rewarding. D. Demanding and fruitless.
5. What drove Santos to take up the MBA/M. S. program
A. His strong desire for a Master’s Degree. B. The challenge from starting a new business.
C. His lack of education background in business. D. The demand for a learning-by-doing experience.
6. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. The great variety Santos enjoys in life. B. The application of digital transformation.
C. The benefits Santos got from the program. D. Santos’s viewpoint on translation industry.
7. In which aspect does Santos probably offer help as an advisor
A. Digital solutions. B. Business analysis.
C. Translation skills. D. Resources management.

When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to document the coexistence of humans and wildlife, he found a story by the roadside — a group of bears begging for food. This close encounter led to incredible photographs. But it also emphasizes the hurdles that conservationists in Romania and elsewhere face in their efforts to restore and protect wild places.
Tourists attracted by the region’s brown bears often give in to the temptation (诱惑) to feed them. This can have disastrous effects. Although bears are usually shy around people it takes just a few meals for them to develop a taste for human food—and, after that, they don’t stay wild long. Instead, they can become dependent on humans for food, fueling more conflicts between bears and humans and putting bears in danger when they get too close. This region has seen a rise in bear-human conflicts.
In 2023, there were 95 bear incidents, and a hiker suffered a fatal bear attack. This caused officials to raise the annual bear kill quota (限额). Doest also documented an attacked mother bear whose leg had been lost, forced to beg for food along the road. Bears fed by humans become “problem bears”, fueling local opposition to rewilding projects, as more forests mean more bears.
While driving on a mountain pass, Doest and his assistant realized the bears were waiting for human handouts. They had completely changed their behavior. Doest saw other examples of how tourists’ handouts had changed the ecosystem. As he watched people feeding bears snacks like doughnuts, he realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife.
“It isn’t just about rewilding—it’s about the opportunities and struggles rewilding brings us,” he says. “It’s about how to accept nature in our lives, and how we could benefit if we do it the right way.” So don’t feed the bears. You could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation.
8. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in paragraph 1 mean
A. solutions. B. dangers. C. responsibilities. D. challenges.
9. What is the main reason for the increase in bear-human conflicts in the region
A. The expansion of human settlements.
B. The bears’ dependence on human food.
C. The decrease in natural food sources for bears.
D. The government’s lack of wildlife protection policy.
10. Why do some locals oppose rewilding projects
A. They believe that rewilding will attract irresponsible tourists.
B. They think that rewilding is not effective in protecting wildlife.
C. They fear that rewilding will destroy their traditional way of life.
D. They worry that rewilding will cause more bear-human conflicts.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards feeding bears
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
D
Traditionally older people struggle with new tech, but this doesn’t have to be the case. With proper design, even the most hesitant user can unlock its significant benefits.
A primary barrier is a lack of understanding of technology and its advantages, coupled with difficulty many seniors face in using devices like smart phones or computers. This often causes them to hesitate to adopt new technology. This is a mistake. Older people themselves must decide whether they want to embrace new technology or miss out on its advantages.
Indeed, technology-particularly through platforms like social media-offers seniors invaluable opportunities: connecting with new friends, staying in touch with old ones and acquiring new skills. When seniors do adopt technology, the reasons are typically twofold: they’re forced to do so and they want to make their lives easier. Understanding these motivations is crucial for anyone aiming to encourage tech adoption among older adults.
Despite the increasing necessity of technology in modern life, some seniors resist, arguing, “I managed before without technology. Why do I need it now ” Furthermore, frustration is common. “It’s not working.” is a complaint co-author Lucia heard many times from her late father, especially when it came to his cell phone, and he used technology well for the most part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads or reading small text message fonts (字体), were constant sources of difficulty.
Addressing these issues requires better technology design tailored to seniors. Older users prefer simple, clear web pages with easy navigation. A previous study showed that many seniors like a website to be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study emphasized, “A simpler and more uniformly designed Internet would help to break down the psychological barriers faced by older users.” Although the study was conducted years ago, the problem with web design for senior users remains unresolved today, highlighting the ongoing need for age-friendly technological solutions.
12. Why do older people hesitate to embrace new techs
A. They have limited access to digital devices.
B. They find hi-tech products challenging to operate
C. They have a negative attitude towards all new technology.
D. They lack the basic knowledge to maintain digital devices.
13. What can we learn from the example of Lucia’s father
A. Seniors usually struggle to read text messages clearly.
B. Seniors refuse to use the small keypad on their phone
C. Seniors often feel frustrated when using new technologies.
D. Seniors always encounter hardware failures of smart phones.
14. What might be discussed in the next paragraph
A. Psychological barriers of seniors to adopt new technology.
B. User-friendly solutions for fixing various computer problems.
C. Further studies related to seniors’ dissatisfaction with hi-techs.
D. Effective strategies for web designers to simplify website interfaces.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. Unlocking Benefits: Why Seniors Need Technology
B. Breaking Barriers: Seniors Struggle with Tech Adoption.
C. Embracing smart phones: A Reasonable choice for seniors
D. Bridging the Tech gap: Designing Senior-friendly Technology
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D

【答案】As a student fascinated by technology, AI has reshaped my life. One practical example is language-learning apps like Duolingo, which adapt exercises to my weaknesses using AI, making learning efficient.
However, risks exist. Over-reliance on AI translators may weaken my skills, while Deepfake videos could spread misinformation, endangering society.
To coexist harmoniously with AI, firstly, we must treat it as a tool to enhance, not replace, human capabilities. Additionally, governments and tech firms should collaborate to establish ethical guidelines and stricter regulations. Ultimately, as young learners, we must cultivate critical thinking and never compromise our values for short-term convenience. All in all, AI’s future depends on us. Let’s embrace its benefits while staying cautious.

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。
Jenny’s life centered around two things: her mother’s broom sweeping the streets and the books she loved to read. Her father had been sick for long, reducing the family to poverty. Her mother, Annika worked dawn till dusk as a street cleaner while Jenny balanced schoolwork and caregiving. Their apartment, though modest, held a shelf where stories like Broomstar’s Journey offered escape — a reminder that even gloomy days could hold magic.
When Annika’s arthritis (关节炎) worsened, Jenny joined her after school. Sweeping alongside her mother, the girl would recite lines from her favorite books, turning dull chores into adventures. “Words make the work lighter,” she told her mother, who smiled as she noted how Jenny’s eyes lit up with every story. One winter day, a neighbor snapped a photo of them — Jenny holding a broom in one hand and a dog-eared (书页折角的) book in the other — and shared it online with the caption: “Two hands, one broom, and a world of words.”
The post went viral. Soon donations poured in for her father’s treatment, and a local charity helped Annika open a small book café called Story Haven. It became a cozy place where kids could enjoy donated books, warm cocoa, and Jenny’s weekly storytime. As her father’s health improved, Jenny began writing her own stories — tales of talking brooms and girls who turned struggles into victories.
Then, on a spring morning, a silver car parked outside the café. Lindsey Hart, the famous children’s author whose books had inspired Jenny for years, stepped inside, a warm smile on her face. “I heard about a young storyteller here,” she said, approaching Jenny, who stood frozen in awe. Lindsey presented a signed copy of Whispers of the Broom and shared her own story of writing on napkins while working in her family’s bakery. “Your courage to dream while sweeping floors is what the magic writers chase,” she said, placing a hand on Jenny’s shoulder and leaving her telephone number, “Never let anything dim your light. Expecting your works in Children’s Tales Monthly.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
As the writer’s car disappeared into the distance, Jenny held the book tightly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months later, Jenny called Lindsey excitedly, “I have good news to share with you.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As the writer’s car disappeared into the distance, Jenny held the book tightly. From that day, she grew more dedicated to reading and writing, with Lindsey’s words echoing in her mind. She woke at dawn to write in her notebook, attended writing workshops at the library, and even submitted stories to youth magazines. At Story Haven, she began guiding younger kids, showing them how to find stories in everyday moments — the way sunlight touched a broom, or the laughter of a café visitor. “Stories heal, ” she’d tell them, “just like they healed me. ”
Months later, Jenny called Lindsey excitedly, “I have good news to share with you. ” She told Lindsey that her first story was published in Children’s Tales Monthly, which was about a girl and her broom that discovered strength in storytelling. “Congratulations! I’m so proud of you! ” responded Lindsey, promising to offer any possible guidance. The publication and Lindsey’s encouragement inspired Jenny to dream bigger. She made up her mind to become a writer who could uplift others just as Lindsey did. Sitting at her desk in the café, with sunlight shining on her latest draft, Jenny realized something important: hardships are not the end — they are the beginning of new stories, filled with hope.
