When Bella Lin was 12 years old, she noticed that her guinea pigs (豚鼠) seemed unhappy in their small cage with “prison-like bars”, Lin told the CNBC Make It website. Focusing on finding an alternative to traditional cages for her pets, the now 17-year-old from Mountain View, US, began her designs.
Lin experimented with multiple designs and used around $2,000 from her savings to start her side business, Guinea Loft, on Amazon in November 2022. It made a big difference and sold nearly 11,000 cages and brought in more than $410,000 in 2023, according to CNBC Make It.
Initially, Lin informed her father of her desire to develop an improved cage. Her father had relations with a family-owned factory in China through a previous client, and he reached out to them.
Traditional guinea pig cages typically consist of bars, roofs, and either tarp (防水布) or plastic bottoms, making them hard to clean and often smell bad. Lin’s initial glass, open-floor cages offered more visibility and mobility, with a two-layered bottom. This design allows for the easy removal of soiled bedding by pushing it into a removable plastic tray (托盘). However, due to high shipping costs, the glass material was impractical, and the open floor caused problems for her smaller guinea pigs, as their feet would get stuck.
Lin and her six-person team in China devoted late nights to researching and testing products. Her team handled the sourcing, manufacturing, packaging and photography of the products. In the end, they chose acrylic, instead of glass, and crafted replaceable bottoms, as Lin described it. The bottoms are easy to throw out, which is good for business: Once customers run out of the bottoms, they have to visit Lin’s Amazon store again to restock.
“Witnessing the practical effects of Guinea Loft cages through customer reviews and emails is empowering,” Lin said. “As someone who once placed great emphasis on academic recognition, the success of my side business has boosted my confidence in exploring life beyond high school.”
4. What inspired Lin to design a new cage for guinea pigs
A. The huge profits in her business. B. Their bad living conditions.
C. Her unpleasant experience at school. D. Her desire to replace old cages.
5. What is a major advantage of Lin’s new cage
A. It is waterproof. B. It lasts long. C. It is easy to clean. D. It smells nice.
6. How does Lin sound in the last paragraph
A. Humorous. B. Concerned. C. Encouraged. D. Curious.
7. What may be a suitable title for the text
A. Inventing for Our Pets B. Running a Side Business
C. Bella Lin’s Academic Achievements D. The Application of Guinea Pig Cages
C
Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape (声景) of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans.
Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home
Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.
Now, what if we told you there is already a solution Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day.
Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against.
8. How does anthropogenic ocean noise affect clown fish
A. It improves their reproduction rates.
B. It promotes their better development.
C. It hinders them from finding their home.
D. It causes them to give up their migration in the ocean.
9. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. leads to B. decides on C. holds back D. results from
10. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4
A. The application of relevant laws B. The use of noise control technology.
C. The restriction of human activities. D. The attention of local policymakers.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The beauty of marine ecosystems.
B. The urgent need for ocean conservation.
C. The impact of climate change on ocean noise.
D. The harmful effects of human-generated ocean noise.
D
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity.
The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).
The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI predict seismic events
A. By using a simple machine learning system.
B. By identifying hidden signs in the rumbles.
C. By relying on experts’ earthquake knowledge.
D. By analyzing data of earthquake recordings.
13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3
A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C. The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction.
14. What does the subsequent research focus on
A. Conducting tests in different locations.
B. Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly.
C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising.

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。
It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me.
When switching off the light on my way out I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn’t feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑)，“Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.” While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.”
Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.
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。
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.

Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often.

【46题答案】
【答案】Dear Editor,
I'm writing to suggest that we include badminton in the upcoming sports festival.
Badminton is highly beneficial. Firstly, it is an excellent full-body workout. It can improve our flexibility, balance, and hand-eye coordination. Secondly, compared to some strenuous sports, badminton is relatively easy on the joints, making it suitable for a wide range of students.
Regarding its feasibility, badminton requires less space compared to many other ball games. All we need are a few badminton courts, which we already have on campus. Moreover, there are quite a number of students who are keen on badminton.
I’m looking forward to seeing badminton in the sports festival.
Yours,
Li Ming

【答案】
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea sparked. I hurried to the car and returned with the vibrant bunch. Knocking on each resident’s door, I offered a balloon and a smile. Faces lit up like children receiving candies. An elderly lady tied hers to a walker, murmuring “Just like my granddaughter’s birthday.” Soon the courtyard bloomed with floating rainbows. Laughter echoed through the once-silent corridors. As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. Their wrinkled hands patted mine gratefully. For the first time since moving here, loneliness dissolved like sugar in warm tea.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. We planted sunflowers by his window, their golden faces tracking the sun like old friends nodding hello. He taught me chess moves from his army days, and I read him newspaper crosswords. Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. By Christmas, the home buzzed with cookie-baking aromas and carol singers. When Dad finally visited in December, he found me surrounded by silver-haired “adopted grandparents”. His eyes glistened as Daniel shook his hand, “Your daughter’s brought spring to our winter.”

When Bella Lin was 12 years old, she noticed that her guinea pigs (豚鼠) seemed unhappy in their small cage with “prison-like bars”, Lin told the CNBC Make It website. Focusing on finding an alternative to traditional cages for her pets, the now 17-year-old from Mountain View, US, began her designs.
Lin experimented with multiple designs and used around $2,000 from her savings to start her side business, Guinea Loft, on Amazon in November 2022. It made a big difference and sold nearly 11,000 cages and brought in more than $410,000 in 2023, according to CNBC Make It.
Initially, Lin informed her father of her desire to develop an improved cage. Her father had relations with a family-owned factory in China through a previous client, and he reached out to them.
Traditional guinea pig cages typically consist of bars, roofs, and either tarp (防水布) or plastic bottoms, making them hard to clean and often smell bad. Lin’s initial glass, open-floor cages offered more visibility and mobility, with a two-layered bottom. This design allows for the easy removal of soiled bedding by pushing it into a removable plastic tray (托盘). However, due to high shipping costs, the glass material was impractical, and the open floor caused problems for her smaller guinea pigs, as their feet would get stuck.
Lin and her six-person team in China devoted late nights to researching and testing products. Her team handled the sourcing, manufacturing, packaging and photography of the products. In the end, they chose acrylic, instead of glass, and crafted replaceable bottoms, as Lin described it. The bottoms are easy to throw out, which is good for business: Once customers run out of the bottoms, they have to visit Lin’s Amazon store again to restock.
“Witnessing the practical effects of Guinea Loft cages through customer reviews and emails is empowering,” Lin said. “As someone who once placed great emphasis on academic recognition, the success of my side business has boosted my confidence in exploring life beyond high school.”
4. What inspired Lin to design a new cage for guinea pigs
A. The huge profits in her business. B. Their bad living conditions.
C. Her unpleasant experience at school. D. Her desire to replace old cages.
5. What is a major advantage of Lin’s new cage
A. It is waterproof. B. It lasts long. C. It is easy to clean. D. It smells nice.
6. How does Lin sound in the last paragraph
A. Humorous. B. Concerned. C. Encouraged. D. Curious.
7. What may be a suitable title for the text
A. Inventing for Our Pets B. Running a Side Business
C. Bella Lin’s Academic Achievements D. The Application of Guinea Pig Cages

Have you ever had the feeling that you can’t think when there is too much noise around Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too A recent paper published in Science titled “Soundscape (声景) of the Anthropocene Oceans”, combined over 10,000 scientific papers, confirming that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogenic (人为的) ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a dramatic impact on marine life due to “human-caused” activity within and neighboring our oceans.
Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae, drifting with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback — the fish can’t physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it home
Our anthropogenic ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers, surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of marine life. According to Time, sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. Anthropogenic noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavior, physiology, reproduction and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it. This only renders further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.
Now, what if we told you there is already a solution Multiple remedies, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to eliminate and reverse the damage of anthropogenic ocean noise. As Time explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, floating wind turbines and “bubble curtains” that muffle construction noise, the solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention of policymakers, who historically speaking, have ignored the matter still to this day.
Of all the challenges ocean creatures are battling, luckily sound pollution is the easiest compromise humans can make. Once the noise has decreased, marine life will be able to better manage everything else it is up against.
8. How does anthropogenic ocean noise affect clown fish
A. It improves their reproduction rates.
B. It promotes their better development.
C. It hinders them from finding their home.
D. It causes them to give up their migration in the ocean.
9. What does the underlined word “renders” probably mean in paragraph 3
A. leads to B. decides on C. holds back D. results from
10. Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4
A. The application of relevant laws B. The use of noise control technology.
C. The restriction of human activities. D. The attention of local policymakers.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The beauty of marine ecosystems.
B. The urgent need for ocean conservation.
C. The impact of climate change on ocean noise.
D. The harmful effects of human-generated ocean noise.
D
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity.
The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).
The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”
Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.
Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.
12. How does the AI predict seismic events
A. By using a simple machine learning system.
B. By identifying hidden signs in the rumbles.
C. By relying on experts’ earthquake knowledge.
D. By analyzing data of earthquake recordings.
13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3
A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes.
B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes.
C. The significance of developing the AI prediction.
D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction.
14. What does the subsequent research focus on
A. Conducting tests in different locations.
B. Applying the AI approach to other fields.
C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas.
D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy.
15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology
A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly.
C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising.

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。
It was June, the last day of school. My class of first-graders was feverishly anticipating their summer vacation. To add a joyful flavor, I had some balloons brought in, but for me, this holiday was bittersweet. I’d just moved to this city and couldn’t afford to fly back to accompany Dad. He was desperately missing me, for it was his first summer without me.
When switching off the light on my way out I noticed the balloons near the window. Unsure what to do with them, I grabbed the thirteen strings and stuffed them into the backseat of my car. Their rainbow of colors lifted my spirits and gratefully, I didn’t feel so alone.
As the city was still foreign to me, I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a stretch of road where the trees overhead covered each other. The branches reminded me of two friends stretching out to greet each other. Before long, a retirement home appeared. It was a place with a feeling of forgottenness and I spotted a man sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden urge to pull in. But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to do with them. Opening the door and grabbing one of the strings, I waved to the man, and he smiled. His name was Daniel and he was about Dad’s age. When I handed him the balloon, he grinned (咧嘴笑)，“Thanks. It gives a little color to my life.” While tying it to his chair, he looked happier than when I arrived. So I smiled, “You’re welcome, Daniel. Perhaps I’ll see you again sometime.”
Unexpectedly, he replied, “Perhaps, but probably not. Visitors are always welcome, but rarely come.” His words forced me to slide over an old chair next to his. Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always reminded me of Dad. I’d thought it would be boring talking with a stranger. But it wasn’t; it was enlightening — I had been feeling lonely, and so had Daniel, and so had the residents in the retirement home.
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。
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.

【46题答案】
【答案】Dear Editor,
I'm writing to suggest that we include badminton in the upcoming sports festival.
Badminton is highly beneficial. Firstly, it is an excellent full-body workout. It can improve our flexibility, balance, and hand-eye coordination. Secondly, compared to some strenuous sports, badminton is relatively easy on the joints, making it suitable for a wide range of students.
Regarding its feasibility, badminton requires less space compared to many other ball games. All we need are a few badminton courts, which we already have on campus. Moreover, there are quite a number of students who are keen on badminton.
I’m looking forward to seeing badminton in the sports festival.
Yours,
Li Ming

Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat. An idea sparked. I hurried to the car and returned with the vibrant bunch. Knocking on each resident’s door, I offered a balloon and a smile. Faces lit up like children receiving candies. An elderly lady tied hers to a walker, murmuring “Just like my granddaughter’s birthday.” Soon the courtyard bloomed with floating rainbows. Laughter echoed through the once-silent corridors. As twilight painted the sky, I sat surrounded by storytellers sipping lemonade. Their wrinkled hands patted mine gratefully. For the first time since moving here, loneliness dissolved like sugar in warm tea.
Over the next six months, I visited Daniel often. We planted sunflowers by his window, their golden faces tracking the sun like old friends nodding hello. He taught me chess moves from his army days, and I read him newspaper crosswords. Gradually, my students joined our visits, crafting paper cranes with nimble fingers while veterans shared wartime stories. By Christmas, the home buzzed with cookie-baking aromas and carol singers. When Dad finally visited in December, he found me surrounded by silver-haired “adopted grandparents”. His eyes glistened as Daniel shook his hand, “Your daughter’s brought spring to our winter.”
