After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHe, was empowered to take action against malaria — a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHe, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza on Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U.S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U.S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Maegan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected official in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues: “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
4. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria
A. A learning experience. B. A health crisis.
C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
5. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention
A. A tabling event. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
6. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
7. Which of the following best describes Bista
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.
C
Languages represent far more than mere communication tools; they are complex carriers of cultural memory, showing unique viewpoints, cultural traditions, and collective wisdom. Language loss occurs when the final native speakers disappear, transforming vivid linguistic (语言) traditions into historical artifacts. The loss of a language is not merely a loss of words but a deep loss of human heritage (遗产), disconnecting communities from their ancestral roots and their unique worldview. While language extinction is not a new phenomenon, languages are disappearing at the fastest rate in recorded history, with one language lost every three to four months.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced innovative methods for preserving and refreshing endangered languages, offering tools that were unimaginable in traditional linguistic research. Automated Transcription Tools can change spoken language into written text, while Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on extensive datasets to perform translations across a wide range of languages.
While AI offers promising solutions, it faces a significant challenge which blocks its full potential. The vast majority of these endangered languages are underrepresented digitally. If one language doesn’t have a lot of text online, it will be less represented in those technologies. This digital divide is further worsened by the dominance of a few languages on the Internet. Consequently, endangered languages are often excluded from AI technologies, leaving their speakers pushed aside in the digital space.
Tech companies, linguists and local communities are all vital in ensuring that AI tools are culturally relevant and technically effective, which can lead to the developments that meet the unique needs of each language community. By involving native speakers in the design and use of AI technologies, create resources that reflect the true-essence of the language and encourage a sense of ownership among community members. This shared approach is essential for building trust and ensuring the long-term sustainability of language preservation efforts.
8. Why are the roles of languages talked about in paragraph 1
A. To call for global language unity. B. To draw attention to lost languages.
C. To show the effect of language loss. D. To prove the uniqueness of languages.
9. What major difficulty does AI face in handling endangered languages
A. Their limited speakers. B. Their poor digital data.
C. The dominant languages. D. The backward technologies.
10. What does the author urge people to do in the end
A. Prioritize communities over experts! B. Meet common needs of communities.
C. Create technically effective AI models. D. Make joint efforts at specific solutions.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Save Dying Languages Through Technology.
B. Bridge the Digital Language Gap with AI Tools.
C. AI in Teaching People Endangered Languages.
D. Fruitful Smart Projects in Language Protection.
D
The experience of touch is key to babies beginning to recognize themselves in a mirror, new research shows, which usually happens when babies are about a year and a half old. “Babies pulling on their toes (脚趾) or hitting lightly their fingers are not just playing,” says Jeffrey Lockman, senior author of the research paper. “They are trying to recognize themselves.”
The researchers began by placing small vibrating (震动的) discs on the foreheads of babies around 14 months old, before the usual age at which self-recognition occurs. In response to the vibration, they would reach up and touch the discs. Next, researchers turned the children to face a mirror and watched as they reached up to touch the discs. The researchers then had the children perform the standard mirror-mark test for self-recognition in which a small mark of paint or makeup was placed on each child’s face. If the child looked in the mirror and touched the mark on their own face or said words like their name or “me”, they demonstrated self-recognition.
The researchers also observed a control group of children exposed to the laboratory experience with mirrors but not the vibrating discs. The children who touched their face more frequently recognized themselves in the mirror about two months earlier, on average, than those who typically first begin to recognize-themselves in a mirror. This indicates a possible mechanism that self-awareness can develop based on engaged experiences that human babies naturally generate.
The study challenges a long-standing assumption that self-recognition in early childhood is somehow hardwired. For a long time, scientists believed early recognition in the mirror was a built-in function of human brains and those of our closest primate (灵长类) relatives, rather than linked to sensory or motor experiences.
“Interventions for babies who have issues related to motor skills are typically focused on reaching for objects in the external world and controlling them,” Lockman says. “According to our findings, reaching to the body is equally important and exploring the body is the gateway to self-knowledge.”
12. Why do babies hit their fingers lightly at an early age
A. To explore their surroundings. B. To build up self-identification.
C. To signal their self-recognition. D. To engage in playful activities.
13. How did the babies in the experiment form self-recognition
A. Through active exploration. B. By seeing vibration in mirrors.
C. Through word-related response. D. By copying others’ movements.
14. What is a common misunderstanding of early-childhood self-recognition
A. It is an inborn capability. B. It develops through learning.
C. It is related to experiences. D. It exists in men and animals.
15. What do the findings suggest about treating children’s motor delays
A. Staring at themselves in the mirror. B. Intervening as early as possible.
C. Enhancing external motor activities. D. Having interactions with their bodies.
How to charge an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the biggest concerns people have when working out whether going electric is right for them. It is true that sometimes gaining access to reliable charging can seem a bit tricky. ___16___
First, download an app with a comprehensive map of the public charging points showing their locations, how powerful they are, and whether they’re working. All this is vital information because, even if you have public charging points nearby, you will need alternatives in case they’re in use. ___17___
A growing number of property owners are renting out their charging points and driveways to other local EV drivers when they’re not using them. ___18___ Thus, your car gets charged, the owners make money, and emissions are reduced.
___19___ For example, when your car is running out of juice, you’d just pull up to a battery-change station from your car brand and sit in the car while a fully charged unit is changed in. The Chinese EV brand Nio does this, but isn’t available in the UK as yet.
For now, if charging access remains difficult for you, it’s still possible to go electric — in part. ___20___ Many hybrid (混合的) cars are now good for 50 miles of electric running before you need to use the engine. So, if most of your driving is local, you might only need to find a charger once or twice a week, while you have the backup of a fuel engine for long journeys.
A. It actually worked out much cheaper.
B. However, it may be easier than you think.
C. There are also other innovative ways to get your EV going.
D. A plug-in EV combines a petrol engine with a smaller battery.
E. A “fast” charger usually takes eight hours to fully charge an EV.
F. So you need to get a good feel for where your nearest points are.
G. You can find a map of homeowners whose charging points are available.

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。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breathtaking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John, really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream: became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. He never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in — the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next four days.” He worked up the courage hoping to ask his mother if she could give him some more money so that he could participate in the competition, but finally, considering the family’s financial difficulties, he swallowed the words.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Looking at the notes on the desk the next day, John was lost in thought.

At the award ceremony John was about to speak when he saw his mother.

　　Last week, I took part in an activity organized by the volunteer club to help the elderly bridge the digital divide.
　　We went to the community senior center. Some of us taught the elderly to use smartphones, like making video calls with their children and ordering groceries online. Others helped them set up health apps to check their blood pressure. I patiently guided an old grandma to send photos, and she was so happy when she succeeded.
　　This activity made me realize the elderly also need to keep up with the digital world. It was meaningful to help them feel connected and not left behind.

　　Looking at the notes on the desk the next day, John was lost in thought. He stared at the money, thinking of his mother’s tired face after work and the family’s tight budget. But the competition was his long-awaited chance. Finally, he made up his mind. He went to a stationery store and bought the cheapest special paints and brushes with part of the lunch money. For the next two days, he skipped lunch and used every free minute to draw. He painted the forest lake he loved so much, with fish leaping and sunlight shining on the water. Even when he felt hungry, the passion for art kept him going. At last, he finished his work just before the deadline.
　　At the award ceremony John was about to speak when he saw his mother. She stood at the back, eyes wide with surprise. John’s heart raced. When he got the first prize and talked about his dream and the difficulties he faced, his mother walked forward with tears in her eyes. She hugged him and said, “I’m sorry, son. I didn’t know how much art means to you.” John smiled, knowing his mother finally understood. From then on, his mother supported his dream, and John worked even harder to become the great artist he wanted to be.
