If you enter the Goergen Athletic Center, you may hear the rhythmic Latin music of the weekly Zumba class. Here, approximately 30 people gather every week for an hour of Zumba led by Dr. Care Gellin.
During the day, Gellin is a pediatrician at Golisano Children’s Hospital. At night though, twice a week she leads Zumba classes, attracting all sorts of people. It’s a trademarked Latinin-spired dance workout. Participants needn’t copy her moves exactly, rather everyone can have fun and move their bodies in whatever way they feel the most comfortable.
Gellin was first introduced to Zumba in 2010. While looking for a fun way to work out while recovering from her pregnancy and birth, she accidentally had a Zumba class. A year later, she became a certified Zumba instructor. After teaching at several gyms, Gellin eventually started teaching in the basement of the hospital.
Gellin noted that most of her job is centered around education rather than practicing medicine, so she spends lots of time thinking about what safe learning spaces mean. This has translated into her Zumba teaching. While there’re no mistakes in Zumba, there’re unfortunately mistakes in medicine — some with serious consequences. Gellin works on setting up learning so her students can have safety nets to catch them if they make an error in judgment and prevent patient harm.
She added, “I love moments when I can tell some of the students have memorized the moves. Every student participates in the class at a different intensity level, so my goal is to present a level that no matter where you are, you have to push yourself.” Zumba is meant to be a workout after all with songs incorporating (包含) more fitness movements.
“I’ve been working out since I was 10,” she said, reflecting on all of her past and present activities. “Zumba is probably the most fun of all of them.”
24. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By giving a definition. B. By providing evidence.
C. By describing a scene. D. By making a prediction.
25. What is Zumba designed for according to Gellin?
A An alternative to practicing medicine.
B. A fun and comfortable way to work out.
C An activity to attract more participants.
D. A challenging course to push the limits.
26. What can we learn about Gellin?
A. She has been learning Zumba since she was 10.
B. She suffered from depression during pregnancy.
C. She asked her students to follow her moves exactly.
D. She took security seriously while teaching Zumba.
C
New research has found a link between the height of ceilings in exam halls and the performance of students. While the shape of a room can’t make you smarter, the environments we’re in have an effect on us. The authors of the study suggest that big and open rooms, with high ceilings, make it harder for students to focus on what’s in front of them.
A previous study from some of the same researchers, making use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality, had found a relationship between cognitive ability and the perceived size of a person’s surroundings. Here, the team wanted to do some real-world testing.
“We were curious to apply our lab findings to a real-world dataset and see if being in a large space while having to concentrate on an important task would result in a poorer performance,” says Isabella Bower.
The study analyzed exam results from 15,400 students over eight years and across three campuses referencing their scores against what was expected based on the coursework they’d previously submitted.
In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results.
“The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, ”says Bower.
Those are questions that future research can find out. It’s clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.
“Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.”
27. How is the new study different from the previous one?
A. It is conducted in a real-world situation instead of in labs
B. It rules out potential factors that may influence the results
C. It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality
D. It finds a link between environment and student performance
28 What is future research expected to find out?
A. Whether exam rooms with high ceilings will disadvantage students.
B. Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study.
C. Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings.
D. Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings
29. What’s Jaclyn Broadbent’s attitude to holding exams in high-ceilinged rooms?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Opposing. D. Unclear.
30. In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text?
A. Health B. Science C. Celebrity D. Architecture
D
①A group of 41 states and the District of Columbia began a legal case against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, insisting that the company knowingly used features on its platforms to cause children to overuse them. The accusations in the lawsuit raise a deeper question about behavior: Are young people becoming addicted to social media and the internet? Here’s what the research has found.
②David Greenfield, a psychologist and founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford, Conn, said the devices tempt users with some powerful approaches. One is “intermittent reinforcement,” which creates the idea that a user could get a reward at any time. But when the reward comes is unpredictable. Adults are easily influenced, be noted, but young people are particularly at risk, because the brain regions that are involved in resisting temptation and reward are not nearly as developed in children and teenagers as in adults. Moreover, the adolescent brain is especially accustomed to social connections, and social media is all a perfect opportunity to connect with other people.
③For many years, the scientific community typically defined addiction in relation to substances, such as drugs, and not behaviors, such as gambling or internet use. That has gradually changed. In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the official reference for mental health conditions, introduced the idea of internet gaming addiction.
④A subsequent study explored broadening the definition to “internet addiction.” The author suggested further exploring diagnostic criteria and the language, for instance, noting that terms like “problematic use” and even the word “internet” were open to broad interpretation, given the many forms the information and its delivery can take.
⑤Dr. Michael Rich, the director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, said he discouraged the use of the word “addiction” because the internet, if used effectively and with limits, was not merely useful but also essential to everyday life.
⑥Greenfield agreed that there clearly are valuable uses for the internet and that the definition of how much is too much can vary. But he said there also were obvious cases where immoderate use disturbs school, sleep and other vital aspects of a healthy life. “Too many young consumers can’t put it down, ” he said.“ The internet, including social media like Meta, are the drugs affecting the mind.”
31. What was Meta accused of?
A. It added problematic features to its platform.
B. It started a discussion to mislead young people.
C. It tempted children to use social media too much.
D. It conducted illegal research on its parent company.
32. According to David Greenfield, users tend to be addicted to social media and the internet due to .
A. their under-developed brain
B. the random pattern of rewards
C. their desire to be socially connected
D. the possibility of escaping from reality
33. What can be concluded about the study introduced in Paragraph 4?
A. Addiction is something about behaviors instead of substances.
B. The online language can be interpreted from a broad perspective.
C. Current diagnostic criteria of “internet addiction” isn’t satisfactory.
D. There should be an agreement on the definition of the word “internet”.
34. Dr. Michael Rich and David Greenfield both agree that .
A. proper use of the internet does good to children
B. the internet is to blame for disturbing healthy life
C. there are cases against immoderate use of the internet
D. the word “addiction” is improperly used on the internet

Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically. ____35____ If you look after someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress and should get it addressed as soon as possible.
Caregiver stress is all too common. ____36____ If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. On top of this, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for. ____37____
When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both.
____38____ Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. _____39_____ While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them.
A. Taking regular holidays is also important.
B. Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue?
C. First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress.
D. The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty.
E. But while this advice sounds good in theory, it is not that easy.
F. Your personal relationships suffer and you have no leisure time.
G. For most of us, looking after ourselves is stressful and tiring enough.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Why companies are hiring “prompt engineers”?
With the new generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, anyone can put in a prompt — type in a few words and get a result. But that doesn’t mean that the results will be relevant or accurate.
The key is putting in the right prompt. That’s why some businesses are now hiring prompt engineers — people with the skill, background and practice to talk to so-called large-language AI systems effectively and why many people expect prompt engineering to be a desirable skill for many kinds of workers to add to their resumes.
In general, the more detailed the request, the closer the response will come to what the user is looking for. But the most effective prompt engineering goes beyond adding detail.
For one thing, adding the right details to get the best response is crucial. Also, there are many ways to guide how an AI system presents, the information it finds, depending on the goal — telling it to write in a certain style or for a certain audience, for instance. Each tool also has particular capabilities and limitations that users can learn to tackle. And the best results often come from an extended conversation with the AI, reacting to what it produces and asking for refinements.
Even for people applying for jobs that don’t clearly mention prompt engineering, having this skill could become essential for all sorts of roles. Art directors could use generative AI to outline ideas, and marketers could use it to develop new slogans Software engineers could use it to find problems with their code. Lawyers could use it to research a piece of law. This is going to be a foundational skill that all of us need to know. The through line is when you learn a new skill, you can take it in any direction you like.
40. How can you get relevant and accurate result?
__________________________________________________________________________________
41. Besides adding details, what else can you do to guide AI system to find the information you need?
__________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
?If people apply for jobs unrelated to AI, they don’t need the skill of prompt engineering.
__________________________________________________________________________________
43. Please explain how AI helps people at work by giving another-example. (In about 40 words)

41. You can guide how the AI system presents the information, learn to tackle the tool’s capabilities and limitations, and have an extended conversation with the AI to ask for refinements.
42. If people apply for jobs unrelated to AI, they don’t need the skill of prompt engineering. Because the passage says even for jobs that don’t clearly mention prompt engineering, this skill could become essential for all sorts of roles, so they still need it.
43. Teachers can use generative AI to design personalized exercise plans for students based on their learning levels, saving time on preparing materials.

In exam rooms with high ceilings, students tended to underperform compared to those taking exams in rooms with a “standard” ceiling height, even after accounting for age, gender, time, subject and prior exam experience—other factors potentially affecting the results.
“The key point is that large rooms with high ceilings seem to disadvantage students and we need to understand what brain mechanisms (机制) are at play, and whether this affects all students to the same degree, ”says Bower.
Those are questions that future research can find out. It’s clear that environment matters—and that we might not give students the best chance for success by holding exams in rooms that aren’t custom-built for the purpose.
“Examinations have been a key part of our education system for over 1,300 years, shaping students career paths and lives,” says Jaclyn Broadbent. “It’s crucial to recognize the potential impact of the physical environment on student performance and make necessary adjustments to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.”

A. It is conducted in a real-world situation instead of in labs
B. It rules out potential factors that may influence the results
C. It makes use of brain mapping technology and virtual reality

B. Whether other factors could potentially affect the results of the study.
C. Whether students are equally affected in exam rooms with high ceilings.
D. Whether brain mechanisms affect students in exam rooms with high ceilings
29. What’s Jaclyn Broadbent’s attitude to holding exams in high-ceilinged rooms?
A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Opposing. D. Unclear.
30. In which column of a magazine can we probably find this text?

①A group of 41 states and the District of Columbia began a legal case against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger, insisting that the company knowingly used features on its platforms to cause children to overuse them. The accusations in the lawsuit raise a deeper question about behavior: Are young people becoming addicted to social media and the internet? Here’s what the research has found.
②David Greenfield, a psychologist and founder of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction in West Hartford, Conn, said the devices tempt users with some powerful approaches. One is “intermittent reinforcement,” which creates the idea that a user could get a reward at any time. But when the reward comes is unpredictable. Adults are easily influenced, be noted, but young people are particularly at risk, because the brain regions that are involved in resisting temptation and reward are not nearly as developed in children and teenagers as in adults. Moreover, the adolescent brain is especially accustomed to social connections, and social media is all a perfect opportunity to connect with other people.
③For many years, the scientific community typically defined addiction in relation to substances, such as drugs, and not behaviors, such as gambling or internet use. That has gradually changed. In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the official reference for mental health conditions, introduced the idea of internet gaming addiction.
④A subsequent study explored broadening the definition to “internet addiction.” The author suggested further exploring diagnostic criteria and the language, for instance, noting that terms like “problematic use” and even the word “internet” were open to broad interpretation, given the many forms the information and its delivery can take.
⑤Dr. Michael Rich, the director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, said he discouraged the use of the word “addiction” because the internet, if used effectively and with limits, was not merely useful but also essential to everyday life.
⑥Greenfield agreed that there clearly are valuable uses for the internet and that the definition of how much is too much can vary. But he said there also were obvious cases where immoderate use disturbs school, sleep and other vital aspects of a healthy life. “Too many young consumers can’t put it down, ” he said.“ The internet, including social media like Meta, are the drugs affecting the mind.”
31. What was Meta accused of?
A. It added problematic features to its platform.
B. It started a discussion to mislead young people.
C. It tempted children to use social media too much.
D. It conducted illegal research on its parent company.
32. According to David Greenfield, users tend to be addicted to social media and the internet due to .
A. their under-developed brain
B. the random pattern of rewards
C. their desire to be socially connected
D. the possibility of escaping from reality
33. What can be concluded about the study introduced in Paragraph 4?
A. Addiction is something about behaviors instead of substances.
B. The online language can be interpreted from a broad perspective.
C. Current diagnostic criteria of “internet addiction” isn’t satisfactory.
D. There should be an agreement on the definition of the word “internet”.
34. Dr. Michael Rich and David Greenfield both agree that .
A. proper use of the internet does good to children
B. the internet is to blame for disturbing healthy life
C. there are cases against immoderate use of the internet
D. the word “addiction” is improperly used on the internet

Caregiver stress is the name for a type of stress that affects caregivers specifically. ____35____ If you look after someone and feel similar emotional experiences, then you may be suffering from caregiver stress and should get it addressed as soon as possible.
Caregiver stress is all too common. ____36____ If you then need to cook for someone else, help them to get dressed and take them to the doctor — everyday — you can end up totally exhausted. You might worry about them whenever they are left alone. This then prevents you from doing the things you want to do. There are even financial issues to consider. On top of this, you might feel unappreciated, arguing regularly with the person you’re caring for. ____37____
When you ask for advice, you are likely to hear that you should send them into a home, hire extra care or get assistance from other family members. If you can do this, you absolutely should, for the sake of you both.
____38____ Getting care can be very expensive and some dependents (被照顾者) will be resistant to the idea. If you can’t change the situation, you need to protect yourself. Setting clear boundaries can help a lot. Find an outlet, whether it be a walk in the park or a gym session. _____39_____ While you might feel stressed doing these things and your dependent might not like it, it is once again important for the health and safety of both you and your dependent. If you burn out, then you won’t be any use to them.
A. Taking regular holidays is also important.
B. Is it any wonder that caregiver stress is such a big issue?
C. First, acknowledge that you are experiencing caregiver stress.
D. The sufferers tend to feel exhausted, annoyed and even guilty.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Why companies are hiring “prompt engineers”?
With the new generative AI tools, like ChatGPT, anyone can put in a prompt — type in a few words and get a result. But that doesn’t mean that the results will be relevant or accurate.
The key is putting in the right prompt. That’s why some businesses are now hiring prompt engineers — people with the skill, background and practice to talk to so-called large-language AI systems effectively and why many people expect prompt engineering to be a desirable skill for many kinds of workers to add to their resumes.
In general, the more detailed the request, the closer the response will come to what the user is looking for. But the most effective prompt engineering goes beyond adding detail.
For one thing, adding the right details to get the best response is crucial. Also, there are many ways to guide how an AI system presents, the information it finds, depending on the goal — telling it to write in a certain style or for a certain audience, for instance. Each tool also has particular capabilities and limitations that users can learn to tackle. And the best results often come from an extended conversation with the AI, reacting to what it produces and asking for refinements.
Even for people applying for jobs that don’t clearly mention prompt engineering, having this skill could become essential for all sorts of roles. Art directors could use generative AI to outline ideas, and marketers could use it to develop new slogans Software engineers could use it to find problems with their code. Lawyers could use it to research a piece of law. This is going to be a foundational skill that all of us need to know. The through line is when you learn a new skill, you can take it in any direction you like.
40. How can you get relevant and accurate result?
