Few British children’s books are as loved as Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows. Since it was published over a century ago, this evergreen tale has attracted readers of all ages, and inspired numerous movie, TV and cartoon adaptations.
The book is a tale of a mole (鼹鼠), a water rat and a toad (蟾蜍) and their adventures through the English countryside. It basically goes straightforward: The nervous, stay-at-home Mole longs to break free, and decides to go on an adventure. At the river, he makes friends with Water Rat, who offers Mole a trip in his rowing boat. Many readers have been struck by the book’s missing-the-past tone, and its almost faithful description of English rural life, which is vividly presented in Grahame’s warmly sensitive language and is clearly modeled on the Thames Valley landscape that he was familiar with. The style of their adventure changes when Mole and Water Rat pay a call on the proud Toad, who is addicted to newly developed cars. He is enthusiastic enough to take them around, despite his terrible driving skills and crazy personality. Critics (评论家) have pointed to the way in which the novel emphasizes the weakness of the landscape, rudely invaded by Toad’s fancy automobiles and under threat from industrial age.
The book’s appeal also lies in its sharp comment on society — Toad is a wasteful spender, a rich landowner with more money and hobbies than sense, while Mole is an image of the quiet and humble middle-class Englishman. As some critics point out, while The Wind in the Willows was written with children closely in mind, Grahame felt it was also a work for “those who still keep the spirits of youth alive in them”. He later added that although many readers loved the book, they did not even notice the source of all the pains and all the joys. On this point, the novel is much more complex and grown-up than is often made out, a sharp-eyed social story that has much to offer adults too.
24. What kind of book is The Wind in the Willows
A. A countryside travel journal. B. A fantasy science fiction book.
C. A collection of folk stories. D. A children’s adventure novel.
25. Which of the following characters will readers find in the book
A. Mole, a typical English gentleman. B. Water Rat, an experienced car driver.
C. Toad, a rich and kind businessman. D. Three travelers, like-minded friends.
26. How is the English countryside in the book
A. It’s kept untouched by the outside world. B. It’s brought to life by new technologies.
C. It’s disturbed by industrial development. D. It’s taken over by those rich foreigners.
27. What did Grahame think his readers ignored about the book
A. Its appeal to children. B. Its social criticism.
C. Its source of inspiration. D. Its youthful theme.

When researchers need to enlist people for large-scale surveys, they often rely upon crowdsourcing sites like Prolific. Participants sign up to provide information and opinions. However, there are signs that many of them use AI to answer survey questions.
In a new paper, Janet Xu, an assistant professor, surveyed around 800 participants on Prolific to learn how they engage with large language models (LLMs). About two-thirds said they had never used LLMs to help them answer open-ended survey questions. About one-quarter reported that they sometimes used AI assistants or chatbots for help with writing, and less than 10% reported using LLMs very frequently, suggesting that AI tools have not so far been widely adopted in their survey work.
To see how human-crafted answers differ from AI-generated ones, Xu looked at data from three studies fielded on gold-standard samples. The human responses in these studies tended to contain more concrete, emotionally charged language. In contrast, LLMs consistently used more neutral (中立的), abstract language, suggesting that they approach survey questions with more objectivity.
Xu says it is concerning that if too many people just borrow an LLMs’ description of other people’s ideas about a topic, it could lead to the inaccuracy of the survey. The impacts may go beyond academic researches. One example is that if people use AI to fill out workplace surveys about interpersonal relationships, it could create a false sense of harmony. People could draw conclusions like, “Oh, relationships are not a problem here; people get along and love each other.”
Xu notes that directly asking survey participants to keep from using AI can reduce its use. There are also higher-tech ways to discourage LLM use, for example, blocking copying and pasting text, and asking participants to upload a voice recording instead of written text.
The paper also shows that many subjects in the study say they use AI when they don’t think the instructions are clear enough. “To prevent this problem, it’s important to design studies with humans in mind, while a lot of the same general principles of good survey design still apply,” Xu says.
28. What does the new paper find about AI use in the surveys
A. It is just limited practice. B. It hurts researchers’ enthusiasm.
C. It has improved the efficiency. D. It only fits open-ended questions.
29. Which word best describes AI responses to survey questions
A. Detailed. B. Subjective. C. Balanced. D. Emotive.
30. Why does the author mention the workplace survey
A. To predict the future use of LLMs. B. To show the problems with AI use.
C. To give tips on promoting harmony. D. To introduce the benefits of surveys.
31. What does Xu suggest about doing surveys
A Banning the use of AI tools. B. Resetting principles of surveys.
C. Picking qualified participants. D. Creating doer-friendly designs.
D
Scientists have found a way to help Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) drugs get into the brain faster — by temporarily breaking through the blood-brain barrier.
The blood-brain barrier is a protective layer in blood vessels (血管), which prevents damaging substances from entering the brain from the bloodstream but also blocks medicine like Alzheimer’s drugs. As a result, more medicine over longer periods is needed to reach the targets inside the brain. Some new Alzheimer’s drugs claim to fight the mind-robbing disease in a more time-efficient way, but it still takes at least 18 months for them to take effect.
Now scientists can use a technology called focused ultrasound to make temporary openings in that barrier, which will close in 48 hours. First they shoot microbubbles (气泡) into the bloodstream. Next, they send sound waves through a head-mounted device to a precise brain area. This will cause the microbubbles to shake, which loosen gaps in the barrier enough for medicine to slip in.
The medical team applied such technology to three patients with mild Alzheimer’s each time right after they gave the patients a new drug, Aduhelm. They used PET brain scans to measure the patients’ levels of amyloid, a sticky protein that leads to brain dysfunction, before and after the six-month-long treatment. There was about 32% greater amyloid reduction in spots where the blood-brain barrier had openings compared to other regions in the brain. Dr. Ali Rezai of West Virginia University led the study and reported it in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This pilot study is too small to draw any conclusions, admitted Dr. Rezai. It remains at issue whether the novel treatment will make a real difference for patients. Moreover, it’s important to closely check whether speedier amyloid reduction might increase the risk of a rare but worrisome side effect of these new drugs — bleeding in the brain. But still, it opens the door for more extensive, larger studies definitely and even new ways to target other brain diseases.
32. What is the problem with new Alzheimer’s drugs
A. False claims on function. B. Serious side effects.
C. Long treating procedure. D. Lack of availability.
33. Why did scientists make openings on the blood-brain barrier
A. To block the harmful substances. B. To shoot bubbles faster into the blood.
C. To measure the levels of amyloid. D. To send medicine directly to the brain.
34. What does the underlined phrase “at issue” in the last paragraph mean
A. In question. B. Beyond doubt. C. Within reach. D. Under pressure.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. The broad use of a technology. B. A treatment for a brain disease.
C. The new drugs for Alzheimer’s. D. A challenge in brain researches.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You bought a box of expensive strawberries yesterday, and there is already mold (霉菌) on them. ____36____ You hesitate. It’s nearly impossible to visually recognize what is safe from what could make you sick. Let’s learn more about mold.
The science of mold
Mold is everywhere. From juice in the kitchen to your bathroom walls to your backyard garden, mold grows. The most obvious mold you can see on the surface is just the “bloom” — like the flower of a weed, whose roots may have already spread deep. ____37____ Mold multiplies secretly once it gets inside.
How to prevent mold
Shop smart and store the foods properly. Keep your fridge at 1.6 — 3.3℃, and always separate raw and cooked foods. ____38____ This is because produce is more mold-friendly than others, and if you wash it right from the grocery store, you risk storing it with too much wet. If hard food, like carrot, is already attacked by mold, cut off at least 1 inch around the mold. For other foods, just throw them away — no need to regret it.
____39____
Odds are that part of mold isn’t harmful, and even if it is, a small amount doesn’t cause serious sickness. Still, experts suggest monitoring for warning signs like stomachache and shortness of breath, and seeking medical help if you feel unwell. Anyway, don’t panic but stay on guard.
The bottom line
Yes, throwing away food hurts — especially when it’s expensive. But “When in doubt, throw it out” is the safest rule for food safety. However, as experts put it, “Molds have been here longer than us and will be here after we’re gone.” ____40____
A. What are odd facts of mold
B. What if you accidentally eat mold
C. You can use airtight containers to keep them.
D. Throw them out or just pick out the moldy ones
E. This typically happens to soft and wet foods like fruits.
F. Bear in mind to wash your produce only before consuming it.
G. Ultimately, learning to live with molds is a necessary part of being humans.

Furniss returned to his hometown where he was in low ____45____ for some years before he discovered a desire for change. He was ____46____ to woodworking. It soon proved to be a ____47____ calling. “It’s one of those things that came as second nature to me,” he explains. ____48____ his blindness, Furniss possesses a vivid visual imagination that ____49____ him to create detailed designs in his mind’s eye. His ability to transform _____50_____ images into physical objects offers him a means of self-expression and _____51_____ with the world around him.
Perhaps the most important aspect of this journey was his _____52_____ acceptance of his blindness. What he once saw as a _____53_____ is now a blessing. “I feel like I only had to lose my sight to _____54_____ gain my vision. I use that vision to look below the _____55_____ and beyond the boundary,” he says. This newfound outlook allows him to perceive the world in ways he never could before.

“Bye, Erin,” my friend Dee waved to me as I left the school bus. I did a little conga dance of celebration down my driveway, and burst through the back door. “Mom,” I said. “I’ve been nominated for the National Junior Honor Society.”
My mother gave my shoulders a squeeze. Then we sat together in the family room as I filled out the Honor Society application. I had to prove that I had all the characteristics required in a candidate: scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship. I listed all my strengths and turned the paperwork in the advisor the next day.
Months went by, and I received a letter. They didn’t pick me.
I was sad. My mother tried to comfort me by saying that not being a member of the Honor Society wasn’t going to ruin my future. But many of my friends were chosen, and their happiness filled my social media. Those weeks were difficult for me.
One evening, my dad reminded me of the trip to the Golden Gate Bridge last year. Despite the beautiful sunshine, a flow of thick fog kept coming down from the nearby hill into the bay, blocking the panoramic view of the bridge. “We all know how beautiful the bridge is, whether or not we saw it that day with our own eyes,” Dad said. “Likewise, you have to believe in the excellence in yourself, whether or not others can see it. Be happy for your friends that they are lucky to be seen, but never doubt yourself for not getting the luck.”
I suddenly realized that I should have congratulated my friends instead of immersing myself in the negative mood. I even completely ignored my best friend Dee, who was always with me doing everything, but didn’t even get nominated. I should have supported her more. I began to feel ashamed.
Weeks went by, and finally, the night of my graduation arrived. I was in a new dress and a new hairstyle. Everything was going well.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；

66. Dear Mr Black,
I’m writing to invite you to help us with our English short play we’ve created about campus life. The play, titled A Day in Our School, is a 10-minute comedy based on our campus experiences, trying to link some funny moments ranging from the dining hall to the classroom in a trans-dimensional way. We are still not sure about the fluency of the plots, the authenticity of the English language and the overall effects.
These days we’re practising every day after school in the auditorium. Would you come and give us some advice Please let us know if you can spare some time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67. Then, the principal announced the names chosen by the Honor Society. I sincerely cheered for my friends. When he skipped my name, I still felt some sadness return, but it didn’t hurt much. I turned to Dee, who was seated right beside me, and hugged her tightly. At this moment, I heard the principal saying, “Here’s a special award from the Honor Society for one of you who has done a lot for her community, and whose character and leadership have been greatly appreciated by people around. The award is for Erin!”
I was so excited and surprised. I jumped up and ran onto the stage. I couldn’t stop grinning — they finally saw what I’d done! I was still thrilled at the end of the graduation ceremony, when the principal came up to me. “Congratulations,” he said with a broad smile. “We made an appeal to the National Junior Honor Society for you, and they accepted it. Lucky you! But remember: With or without the reward, we are proud of you!” I couldn’t thank him more. Then I saw Dee coming, who also won an award for her German study. This was the best night of my life!
