B
Vivien He is a senior at a high school in Rolling Hills Estates. Growing up in Southern California, where
earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during
earthquake drills. Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable.
Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the ShakeAlert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake
monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then
alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will
shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking
before they can get an alert.
Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called
a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users
by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to
learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom .
During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles.
The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern
California Seismic Network.
Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,”
she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of Shake Alert seismic stations. When
one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring
stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make.
So, many more of them could be installed around a city.
36. What does the underlined word “tremors” mean in English
A. Small earthquakes. B. Big earthquakes.
C. Huge seismometers. D. Mini geophones.
37. What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little
A. She used to like playing hide and seek in school.
B. She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake.
C. She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill.
D. She showed no interest in studying natural disasters.
38. Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system
A. To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations.
B. To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy.
C. To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection.
D. To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems.
39. What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device
A. Monitoring tremors and sending alarms.
B. Collecting data about minor earthquakes.
C. Predicting the center of an earthquake.
D. Assessing the sizes of earthquakes.
40. What’s implied about the network of Qubes
A. It’s very challenging to build it.
B. It has limitations in large cities.
C. It can be easily applied at a low cost.
D. It just requires eight devices in each place.
C
Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek
to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as
“AI therapy(疗愈),” is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not get it because it was
too expensive or there weren't enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an
associate professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some
support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot, then I think that's wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong,
a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’ s basic needs for
emotional support to a point.
However, AI has its limits(限制). Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks
and create suitable treatment plans— something robots can't fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a Beijing-based
psychologist(心理学家), notes “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’ or ‘layoff’, but it cannot find out
small emotional shifts in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of
situations, where misunderstandings could be dangerous.
Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It cannot match the
level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government
control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.
Data privacy appears as another large concern (担忧). Users usually share personal details on AI platforms,
yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app
faced criticism when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms (算法).
As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI
offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
41. What makes people turn to “AI therapy”
A. AI therapy is warmer. B. AI tools are free.
C. People feel much pressure. D. DeepSeek is popular.
42. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Mental health care. B. The AI tool.
C. The medical standard. D. The government control.
43. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. AI therapy is nicer and cheaper than human therapists.
B. AI robots will soon replace human therapists in hospitals.
C. AI can perfectly copy human therapists’ skills and methods.
D. AI has limits in understanding deep emotions and safety risks.
44. Why does the writer mention the Wysa app
A. To give an example of safe AI under rules. B. To prove robots can deal with emergencies.
C. To show AI is cheaper than human doctors. D. To explain why China needs more therapists.
45. What can we infer from the passage
A. AI therapy will completely replace human therapists.
B. AI is useful for basic support but not for serious cases.
C. AI can create specialized treatment plans for people.
D. Government control is really unnecessary for AI apps.

阅读短文，用英语回答问题
As a little boy, there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by
miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania, which provided a lot of fun for a city kid like me.
I can still remember my first visit to the farm. I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my
parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb
it, so I asked for their permission.
“Can I climb the stonewalls ” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the
room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my
adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always
remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children
throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to
children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you
exactly as you are.”
46. Where is Mike’s grandfather's farm (no more than 5 words)
47. What does the underlined word “approve” in Paragraph 2 mean in English (no more than 1 word)
48. How long did the author spend climbing the stonewalls (no more than 5 words)

Vivien He is a senior at a high school in Rolling Hills Estates. Growing up in Southern California, where
earthquakes often happen, this 18-year-old girl has spent lots of time hiding under her school desk during
earthquake drills. Although these ground tremors are slightly shaking, they are often unpredictable.
Earthquake early warning systems do exist. One is the ShakeAlert system on the U. S. West Coast. Earthquake
monitoring stations in the Shake Alert network detect ground shaking when a quake strikes. Those stations then
alert people that the ground under them may soon start to shake. But it’s hard to predict how much the ground will
shake at any given place. And people closest to an earthquake’s source are out of luck. They’ll feel the shaking
before they can get an alert.
Therefore, Vivien built an at-home earthquake sensor. Called the Qube, this device uses a motion sensor called
a geophone (地震检波器) to feel tremors that may mark the beginning of a bigger quake. Then, it can warn users
by sounding the alarm or sending text alerts. To build it, Vivien bought a machine and watched YouTube videos to
learn how to use it. Then she went to work in a spare bathroom .
During nine months of testing, Vivien’s Qube detected all earthquakes over magnitude 3 around Los Angeles.
The motion data captured by her Qube also matched those from a nearby seismometer (地震仪) in the Southern
California Seismic Network.
Vivien is now building up a network of Qubes around Los Angeles. “I have eight devices in different homes,”
she says. A widespread Qube network could serve as a role similar to that of Shake Alert seismic stations. When
one Qube starts to shake, it could alert users across town to an oncoming quake. But unlike earthquake monitoring
stations, Qubes are tiny and inexpensive. About the size of a Rubik’s cube, one Qube costs less than $100 to make.
So, many more of them could be installed around a city.
36. What does the underlined word “tremors” mean in English
A. Small earthquakes. B. Big earthquakes.
C. Huge seismometers. D. Mini geophones.
37. What can we learn about Vivien He when she was little
A. She used to like playing hide and seek in school.
B. She was often at risk of experiencing an earthquake.
C. She once got injured severely in an earthquake drill.
D. She showed no interest in studying natural disasters.
38. Why does the author mention the ShakeAlert system
A. To prove the necessity of early earthquake monitoring stations.
B. To compare ShakeAlert with Vivien’s Qube in terms of accuracy.
C. To highlight the technological advancements in earthquake detection.
D. To show the drawback of existing earthquake early warning systems.
39. What’s the main function of Vivien He’s device
A. Monitoring tremors and sending alarms.
B. Collecting data about minor earthquakes.
C. Predicting the center of an earthquake.
D. Assessing the sizes of earthquakes.
40. What’s implied about the network of Qubes
A. It’s very challenging to build it.
B. It has limitations in large cities.
C. It can be easily applied at a low cost.
D. It just requires eight devices in each place.

Because of busy lifestyles and work stress, more Chinese people are now turning to AI tools like DeepSeek
to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and receive warm advice. This practice, known as
“AI therapy(疗愈),” is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace human therapists
Around the world, 45 percent of people who needed mental health care in 2024 did not get it because it was
too expensive or there weren't enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an
associate professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could help fill this gap. “If people can find some
support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or chatbot, then I think that's wonderful,” Lowd told Newsweek. Li Yong,
a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’ s basic needs for
emotional support to a point.
However, AI has its limits(限制). Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face-to-face talks
and create suitable treatment plans— something robots can't fully copy. Dr. LiuYang, a Beijing-based
psychologist(心理学家), notes “An AI might recognize keywords like ‘divorce’ or ‘layoff’, but it cannot find out
small emotional shifts in tone or body language”. This point becomes important when dealing with a series of
situations, where misunderstandings could be dangerous.
Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It cannot match the
level of responsibility that human therapists have. Experts believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict government
control. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical standards in the UK.
Data privacy appears as another large concern (担忧). Users usually share personal details on AI platforms,
yet few companies clearly state how this information is stored or used. In 2024, a major Chinese mental health app
faced criticism when users found their chats were being analyzed for advertising algorithms (算法).
As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI
offers quick help, human connection remains irreplaceable for serious emotional needs.
41. What makes people turn to “AI therapy”
A. AI therapy is warmer. B. AI tools are free.
C. People feel much pressure. D. DeepSeek is popular.
42. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Mental health care. B. The AI tool.
C. The medical standard. D. The government control.
43. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. AI therapy is nicer and cheaper than human therapists.
B. AI robots will soon replace human therapists in hospitals.
C. AI can perfectly copy human therapists’ skills and methods.
D. AI has limits in understanding deep emotions and safety risks.
44. Why does the writer mention the Wysa app
A. To give an example of safe AI under rules. B. To prove robots can deal with emergencies.
C. To show AI is cheaper than human doctors. D. To explain why China needs more therapists.
45. What can we infer from the passage
A. AI therapy will completely replace human therapists.
B. AI is useful for basic support but not for serious cases.
C. AI can create specialized treatment plans for people.
D. Government control is really unnecessary for AI apps.

阅读短文，用英语回答问题
As a little boy, there was nothing I liked beer than Sunday afternoons at my grandfathers farm, surrounded by
miles of winding (蜿蜒) stonewalls in western Pennsylvania, which provided a lot of fun for a city kid like me.
I can still remember my first visit to the farm. I'd wanted to be allowed to climb the stonewalls. But my
parents would never approve, because the walls were old, and some stones were missing. I was still eager to climb
it, so I asked for their permission.
“Can I climb the stonewalls ” I asked nervously. At this moment, my parents sill didn't agree. Before I left the
room sadly, my grandfather said, “Let the boy climb the stonewalls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
It took me about two hours to climb those stonewalls. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my
adventure. I’ll never forget what he said. “Mike, you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always
remember, there's only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Today I host the television program Mister Roger’s Neighborhood, which is liked by millions of children
throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to
children at the end of every visit, “There's only one person in this whole world like you, and people can like you
exactly as you are.”
