Billy and his classmates were busy preparing for the end-of-year play under the guidance of Miss Tompkins, their drama teacher.
Billy did the sound effects. He worked hard during rehearsals (彩排). As the actors and actresses spoke their lines, Billy 13 them in his head. He also noted the action cues (提示). He needed to make sure the right sound effect came at the right time.
Everything was going 14 until, just two days before the performance, Billy came home with bad news. “Grandad, Anthony broke his arm while practicing his bike jump on his way home.”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.”
“He’ll make a full recovery. But by losing Anthony, we now don’t have a main character, the Keymaster. Miss Tompkins says we might have to 15 the play. You know, after all that hard work, rehearsals, artwork, lights …”
Billy and Grandad fell silent, thinking about the situation.
After a few minutes, Grandad broke the 16 , “I know—” he said. “Each evening that you’ve come back from rehearsals, you always recite (背诵) the lines. You must know them all by now. Why don’t you play the Keymaster ”

Walking is one of the simplest ways to stay fit, but taking a few steps backward could unlock even greater benefits.
The practice isn’t new—records suggest that backward walking has been part of traditional exercise in China for centuries. Athletes and coaches later used it to improve sports performance. Now, researchers are uncovering just how powerful this small change in movement can be.
Unlike forward walking, which primarily uses the ankles, walking backward changes the workload to the hips and knees. This small change in movement activates different muscle (肌肉) groups, offering benefits for strength and mobility. Walking backward changes the mechanical load on the body and challenges the brain with a novel task.
Janet Dufek, a professor at the University of Nevada, found that backward walking increases low back flexibility (灵活性), reduces low back pain, and improves balance—key reasons why it’s often used in physical treatment. Moreover, backward walking burns 40% more calories per minute than forward walking. A 2014 study found that women between the ages of 20 and 40 who followed a six-week backward walking program lost body fat and improved their overall fitness.
What’s more, walking backward is also a workout for the brain. A 2019 study found that people who walked backward for 10 to 15 minutes three to four times a week showed greater improvements of spatial (空间的) awareness than those who walked forward. Doing activities that require more focus and attention can also help improve your brain’s ability to plan and make decisions. Studies have even connected the practice with faster reaction times and improved short-term memory.
However, not everyone is fully convinced (信服) about the benefits of backward walking. “The proof of the effectiveness for backward walking training mostly comes from physical treatment, where very small studies show that this type of training may help people with knee problems when added to a regular (规律的) physical treatment program,” says Jonathan Jarry, a researcher in McGill University. “For the rest of us, we are left with an exercise that is unlikely to be better than regular workouts, and that comes with the added danger of tripping over ourselves.”
Still, safety is key for those willing to try it. Just be careful that your walking space is safe, so you will not trip. You can always use a walking partner to be your “eye” when you cannot see.
24.What are the benefits of backward walking
①speeding up reaction time ②activating different muscle groups
③enabling people to burn fat and keep fit ④helping people improve long-term memory
A.①③④ B.①②③ C.①②④ D.②③④
25.What does Jonathan Jarry think of backward walking
A.It isn’t a workout that is fit for everyone. B.It is a workout that can be done anywhere.
C.It isn’t effective in treating knee problems. D.It has a much higher physical requirement.
26.What can we learn from the passage
A.A walking partner can help you understand backward walking better.
B.Backward walking is a good brain workout because it requires focus.
C.Ancient Chinese people hardly walked backward as a regular workout.
D.Backward walking is used in physical treatment because it is easy to do.
C
A 2, 000-year mystery (谜) has moved one step closer to being solved. AI software developed by researchers has successfully deciphered (辨读) the text from a burnt scroll (卷轴) found in the remains of an ancient Roman building in Italy. This could help us better understand the ancient world.
In the centuries after the scrolls were discovered, many people have tried to open them, but ended up destroying some of them. Brent Seales, a computer scientist, has been trying to read these hidden texts for nearly 20 years. His team developed software to read the surface of scrolls using 3D CT images (图像). As the results were not satisfactory, they wondered whether machine-learning models might be trained to read the scrolls But making sense of all the information was a huge task for his small team.
Luckily, in March 2023, the Vesuvius Challenge was introduced, offering a large prize to researchers worldwide. Researchers were asked to decipher four passages, of at least 140 characters each, before the end of the year.
The key to the challenge’s success was the mix of competition and cooperation (合作), with Seales doing his part by sharing his software and images online. Smaller prizes were presented along the way to encourage progress, with the winning machine- learning algorithm (算法) shared at each stage to “level up” the community, so competitors could build on each other’s progress.
The turning point came in the middle of last year, when physicist Casey Handmer noticed something that seemed to form the shapes of Greek letters—he called it “crackle”. In late October, an American university student studying computer science used the crackle to train a machine-learning algorithm, uncovering the word porphyras, “purple”. This won him the prize for discovering the first letters. An Egyptian student, who followed with even clearer images of the text, came second. At last, the two young researchers together with a Swiss student worked out over 2, 000 characters from one scroll, sharing the $700, 000 prize.
The text of the already-opened scrolls is related to Greek philosophy (哲学), and researchers are likely to find more of the same in the scrolls. Also, the machine-learning techniques pioneered by researchers can now be used to study other types of hidden text. The progress suggested the future decipherment of the hundreds of scrolls that had been given up on before. The real gains are still ahead of us.
27.The Vesuvius Challenge was set up to __________.
A.raise more money to develop AI software
B.attract scientists to find more burnt scrolls
C.collect more information on 3D technology
D.involve more people in deciphering the scrolls
28.What can we learn from the passage
A.Casey Handmer won first prize for discovering the word “purple”.
B.Researchers volunteered to teach students to read the hidden texts.
C.Sharing among competitors helped to make the challenge successful.
D.Different machine-learning models were trained to write Greek letters.
29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.AI unlocks secrets of 2,000-year-old scrolls
B.Young adults take the lead in AI development
C.Technology awakens curiosity about philosophy
D.Big prizes bring about technological achievements
D
On a Saturday afternoon, your best friend calls you and says he needs help moving. You gladly show up to help. When you are done, he hands you some money, saying “Thanks for your help.” The situation suddenly feels awkward (尴尬的).
Why doesn’t direct payment fit the situation According to economist Dan Ariely, we live in two worlds—one governed by social norms (规范), and the other characterized by market norms. Social norms are part of our social nature. They include the friendly requests (请求) that people make of one another and immediate payback is not required. In the second world, where market norms make the rules, people work for money and get what they pay for. Market relationships are not necessarily bad or mean, but they do suggest comparable benefits and immediate payments.
When we keep social norms and market norms on their separate paths, things move along smoothly. Moreover, when social and market norms run into each other, the results are not satisfying.
There was an experiment involving daycare center fines. Some parents would arrive late to pick up their children, so fines were introduced. However, this made more parents late. Before the fine was introduced, parents were sorry for keeping the teachers waiting, and this made them feel compelled to arrive on time in the future. But the introduction of the fine replaced this social norm with a market norm. Parents felt they were paying to be allowed to choose whether they wanted to be late. Even after the center removed the fine, the parents didn’t return to social norms and the number of late pick-ups didn’t drop. The result showed a fact: when a special norm runs into a market norm, the social norm goes away and seldom returns.
However, does this necessarily mean market norms always have a bigger effect than social norms Ariely performed an experiment by paying people $5 (Group 1) or $0.50 (Group 2) for dragging (拖动) circles across a computer screen for five minutes. With payment, he expected them to use market norms in that situation and act accordingly. And to Group 3, he introduced the task as a social request, just asking them for help. The results showed that Group 1 dragged on average 159 circles, and Group 2 dragged about 101 circles. But the ones who were paid nothing dragged 168 circles. When people were paid, motivation (动力) and productivity rose as pay rose, but people worked even harder under social norms than for money, Why Because people love to feel that they have helped others.
Money is the most expensive way to motivate people. Social norms are not only cheaper, but often more effective as well. Money will take you only so far—social norms are the forces that can make a difference in the long run.
30.Which of the following examples fits within social norms
A.Paying a friend for his voluntary help.
B.Fining a worker because of his mistakes.
C.Offering a neighbor a free ride to the airport.
D.Returning a product to get your money back.
31.The words “feel compelled to” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean ________.
A.remain unwilling to B.think it necessary to
C.be afraid to D.find it easy to
32.What can we learn about Dan Ariely’s experiment in Paragraph 5
A.Ariely expected people to help each other to complete the task.
B.The result suggested who should receive the highest payment.
C.People in the experiment acted according to the same norms.
D.The experiment showed the effects of the two norms.
33.According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that _________.
A.social norms can play a great role in society
B.market norms aren’t effective as they used to be
C.better performance sometimes leads to lower pay
D.people should replace market norms with social norms

Artificial intelligence (AI) is developing faster than anyone expected. For tech enthusiasts (爱好者), the possibilities are endlessly exciting, but some people feel worried about the new technology. The NSPCC, a charity that works to keep children safe, has called on the government to do more to protect children from AI software. A report by the charity has found that children who use AI can be exposed to (容易接触) content that makes them feel upset. There were also examples of young people using it to be unkind to others. According to a survey, 78% of the UK public think the government should conduct (实施) more safety checks on generative AI software and include rules protecting children in AI-related laws.
Supporters think AI is important technology and children need to understand how it works so that they can use it when they’re older. In ICT lessons at school, pupils learn how to operate other types of software, so they should know how to use AI too. Some adults use AI at work to make certain tasks easier, such as writing an email or planning a meeting. If children were allowed to use AI, they could try using it for their schoolwork. The AI software might inspire an idea to help them get started on a piece of homework or school project. It doesn’t just have to be used for school or work-related reasons. In a 2024 report by Ofcom, a group overseeing the UK’ s communication services, about Internet usage, 63% of eight to 15-year-olds reported using generative AI tools “for fun”.
While there are some problems that should be considered, generative AI is still quite a new technology and it’s being updated all the time. It’s better to keep children away from it for now. This will give adults the chance to prove that it’s safe to use and for the government to put tighter rules in place. Besides, AI can expose children to content that makes them or another child upset or worried. It’s a very powerful tool and they shouldn’t be allowed to use it. The software isn’t perfect and it can give users wrong information. A study last year by Purdue University in the US found that ChatGPT gave wrong information 52% of the time when answering computer programming questions. The programmers involved in the study didn’t notice the wrong answers 39% of the time.
So, considering the benefits AI can bring to children’s learning and creativity, as well as the potential risks such as exposure to harmful content and misinformation, what do you think Should children be allowed to use AI
34.How may AI make children feel, according to the NSPCC report
35.What do most of the UK public suggest the government do
36.Why is the study by Purdue University introduced
37.Do you think children should be allowed to use AI Why or why not (Please give two reasons.)
