When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere
since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have
made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher
says.
Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided
activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading
and writing.
Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would
recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning
in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t
working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it ”
The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she
removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to
learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has
improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”
Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children
learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our
play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the
children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says.
4. What change does Farr bring to her school
A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments.
C. Upgraded equipment D. Diverse outdoor games.
5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning
A. To reduce teacher’ workload．
B. To enhance the school’s reputation.
C. To improve students’ academic results.
D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth.
6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement
A. More focused. B. More energetic.
C. More self-centred． D. More courageous.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach
A. Its theory. B. Its challenge.
C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness.
C
Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does
something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to
grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the
appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they
discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light
up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like
rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言
的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English,
or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits
kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper
understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of
thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion,
and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that
the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even
if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in
the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.
8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1
A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance.
C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines.
9. How does “digital microscope” function in the research
A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.
C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
11 Which of the following titles best suits this text
A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic
C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots
D
When Kyle D’Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu (西施犬), in 2021, “it was love at first
sight. “The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬) and rented a bigger flat to give the animals ”more space
“.
The D’Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western
fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets. According to Statista, a research company, India had 19.4
million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31m. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization, valued
India’s pet industry at 890’hillion dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.
Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased
pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be
extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a ”
pet-friendly“ option.
As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. “Being in this trade was
despised just five years ago,” says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a
girlfriend ” he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days earn 2,400 rupees (S30)
an hour — more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.
Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world’s biggest food company,
Inst year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods,
offers medicines for pets. Euromonitor International, a market-research company, thinks India’s pet-food industry
is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1.2 billion by 2025.
12. Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2
A. To present the benefits of raising pets.
B. To show the popularity of keeping pets.
C. To stress the significance of pet industry.
D. To express dissatisfaction with the situation.
13. What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays
A. Get married early. B. Earn higher income.
C. Choose friendly pets. D. Draw comfort from pets
14. What does the underlined word “despised” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Looked down on. B. Done justice to.
C. Shown respect for. D. Taken advantage of
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. India’s pet-food industry is worth $1.2 billion.
B. Pet-industry is changing people’s career options.
C. Nestlé has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.
D. More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.

I had always thought of my neighborhood as a peaceful and friendly place. However, all that changed when
Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that
blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up
my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and
said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him.
As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could
barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he
refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive.
One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I
found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his
door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on
his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door
shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly
neighborhood ties are gone.
One day, as I was mowing the lawn（修剪草坪）in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy
box along his driveway.

The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she
removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to
learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher note: “Their self-regulation has
improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”
Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children
learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our
play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the
children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says.
4. What change does Farr bring to her school
A. Additional income. B. Flexible environments.
C. Upgraded equipment D. Diverse outdoor games.
5. What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning
A. To reduce teacher’ workload．
B. To enhance the school’s reputation.
C. To improve students’ academic results.
D. To promote kids’ well-being and growth.
6. Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement
A. More focused. B. More energetic.
C. More self-centred． D. More courageous.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach
A. Its theory. B. Its challenge.
C. Its purpose. D. Its effectiveness.

Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does
something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to
grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the
appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they
discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light
up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like
rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言
的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English,
or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits
kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper
understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of
thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion,
and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that
the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even
if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in
the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.
8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1
A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance.
C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines.
9. How does “digital microscope” function in the research
A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.
C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
11 Which of the following titles best suits this text
A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic
C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots

When Kyle D’Costa and his wife met Rio, a nine-month-old shih tzu (西施犬), in 2021, “it was love at first
sight. “The new couple soon added a Lhasa Apso (拉萨犬) and rented a bigger flat to give the animals ”more space
“.
The D’Costas and millions of other middle-class Indians, no longer pleased with new cars and other Western
fancy decorations, they are rapidly acquiring pets. According to Statista, a research company, India had 19.4
million pet dogs in 2018 and may now have 31m. In 2021, Market Decipher, another research organization, valued
India’s pet industry at 890’hillion dollars and said that it would continue to grow by 3 times over the next 10 years.
Actually, the pet industry is growing at a fast rate throughout the world. With rising incomes comes increased
pet-ownership, especially among young professionals who tend 10 put off marriage and parenthood and to be
extremely willing to enjoy the company of a dog. It is only a matter of time before marriage websites include a ”
pet-friendly“ option.
As keeping pets becomes increasingly popular, so do those working in the industry. “Being in this trade was
despised just five years ago,” says Chinmay, a 30-ycar-old dog trainer in Thane, Mumbai. “How will you find a
girlfriend ” he recalls his relatives asking him. But dog trainers in Mumbai can these days earn 2,400 rupees (S30)
an hour — more than twice as much as piano teachers. Chinmay is now happily married to one of his customers.
Current pet-industry players are prepared and new ones stepping in. Nestle, the world’s biggest food company,
Inst year bought into Purina Petcare, an Indian pet-food business. Emami, an Indian company, targeting daily goods,
offers medicines for pets. Euromonitor International, a market-research company, thinks India’s pet-food industry
is worth 480 million dollars and will grow to $1.2 billion by 2025.
12. Why are the figures listed in Paragraph 2
A. To present the benefits of raising pets.
B. To show the popularity of keeping pets.
C. To stress the significance of pet industry.
D. To express dissatisfaction with the situation.
13. What do young professionals prefer to do nowadays
A. Get married early. B. Earn higher income.
C. Choose friendly pets. D. Draw comfort from pets
14. What does the underlined word “despised” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Looked down on. B. Done justice to.
C. Shown respect for. D. Taken advantage of
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. India’s pet-food industry is worth $1.2 billion.
B. Pet-industry is changing people’s career options.
C. Nestlé has earned a lot in Indian pet-food business.
D. More companies will have a hand in the pet industry.

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。
I had always thought of my neighborhood as a peaceful and friendly place. However, all that changed when
Mr. Thompson moved in next door. He was a middle-aged man who seemed to have a rather strange lifestyle.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to him. But one day, I noticed that his car was always parked in a way that
blocked part of my driveway. It was really inconvenient, especially when I was in a hurry to go to work or pick up
my kids from school. I politely asked him to be more careful with his parking, but he just gave me a cold look and
said he would do so as he was pleased. This made me get cross with him.
As time went by, more problems arose. Mr. Thompson had a big dog that barked loudly day and night. I could
barely have a sound sleep, and my kids were also disturbed by the noise. I tried to talk to him about the dog, but he
refused to listen. He even accused me of being too sensitive.
One evening, I came home from a long-day work, extremely worn out. Just as I was about to park my car, I
found that Mr. Thompson’s car was once again blocking my driveway. I was so frustrated that I knocked on his
door forcefully. After seemed a long time, the door opened. There stood Mr. Thompson with an indifferent look on
his face. Words were exchanged, and both of us were angry. We had a heated argument. He even slammed the door
shut right in front of me. After that, we didn’t talk to each other for weeks. My once proud and friendly
neighborhood ties are gone.
One day, as I was mowing the lawn（修剪草坪）in my garden, I saw Mr. Thompson struggling to carry a heavy
box along his driveway.

【答案】参考范文
It seemed that he was about to drop it. I hesitated for a moment, recalling all the unpleasant experiences I had
with him. A part of me felt that he deserved to struggle after how rudely he had treated me. But as I watched him
wobble under the weight of the box, his face tense with effort, another part of me felt guilty for just standing there.
I had always believed in kindness, yet here I was, debating whether to help a neighbor in need. Taking a deep
breath, I set aside my pride and walked over. “Let me help you.” I said, reaching for the box. He looked at me,
surprised, but after a brief pause, he nodded silently, and together we carried it inside.
As we were standing in his living room, Mr. Thompson broke the ice. He let out a sigh and, in a softer tone
than I had ever heard from him, admitted that he hadn’t meant to be rude before. Recovering from surgery had left
him frustrated and short-tempered, and he realized now how inconsiderate he had been. Hearing this, my frustration
melted away. I admitted that I had judged him too quickly. As we talked, the tension between us faded, replaced by
a quiet understanding. From that day on, our relationship changed—we weren’t just neighbors anymore but two
people willing to give each other a second chance.
