Paul Edward Farmer Jr. was born on Oct. 26, 1959, in North Adams, Mass. When Paul was around 12, his
father bought an old bus and converted it into a mobile home. Paul, his parents and his five siblings spent the next
few years traveling.
One summer, he and his family worked alongside Haitian migrant workers picking oranges, listening curiously
as they chatted to one another in Creole. That was Paul’s first encounter with Haiti, the country that would appeal
to him in his 20s and then direct him toward a career in public health.
After graduating from Duke University, he moved to Haiti, volunteering in Cange. He arrived when Haiti’s
hospital system was so threadbare that patients had to pay for basic supplies, like medical gloves. He said he was
really taken aback by the situation and decided to open a different kind of clinic. Over the years, Dr. Farmer raised
millions of dollars for an ever-expanding network of community health facilities.
The clinic in Haiti, at first a single room, grew over the years to a network of 16 medical centers in the country,
with a local staff of almost 7, 000. Among them was a teaching hospital opened in 2013. There, poor patients with
difficult diseases paid a basic fee of around $1.50 a day for treatment, including medication.
Partners in Health he founded with the the other three also expanded into Rwanda, where Dr. Farmer helped
the government restructure the country’s health system, improving health outcomes in areas. Dr. Farmer also
helped develop new public health approaches in Peru, Russia and Lesotho, among other places.
Over the years, he kept in touch with many of his patients. “He had a very tender heart," said Laurie Nuell, a
close friend and board director at Partners in Health. "Seeing pain and suffering was very hard for him. It just hurt
him. I’m a social worker by training. One thing I learned is about keeping a professional distance. He was different.
That’s the beauty of it.”
24. What drew Dr. Farmer’s interest in Haiti
A. His school life at university. B. His childhood traveling with his family.
C. His curiosity about the Creole language. D. His work experience in the countryside. 25. Why did Dr. Farmer decide to open the clinic
A. To offer accessible medical care. B. To promote local social justice.
C. To pursue his academic ambition. D. To expand his medical project globally.
26. What does Laurie Nuell mean by saying “That’s the beauty of it”
A. Dr. Farmer stayed sympathetic.
B. Dr. Farmer was quite professional.
C. Dr. Farmer was experienced in social work.
D. Dr. Farmer showed devotion to public health.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To call for more help for the poor in Haiti, B. To praise a doctor for his lifelong devotion.
C. To tell a story of a family’s unusual travels. D. To introduce a new medical system in Haiti.

By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold
make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the
first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic
symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend - that is, act like something is real
while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi.
They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he
wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi
chose the real juice over the pretend almost of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference
between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews
in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between
imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University
comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend
to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what
their minds are capable of. "Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies," Bastos said.
28. What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test
A. To read a playbook. B. To choose a certain cup.
C. To pour imaginary juice. D. To identify graphic symbols.
29. Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi
A. To prove Kanzi has emotions.
B. To explore Kanzi’s preference for juice.
C. To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake.
D. To train Kanzi’s ability to make choices.
30. What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with
A. Imagination equals pretense.
B. Kanzi represents ape intelligence.
C. Kanzi may not have an imagination.
D. This experiment benefits future studies.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Kanzi: A Good Ape Pretender
B. The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved
C. The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed
D. A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested
D
A computer that relies on fungal (真菌的) networks to store information could one day be an alternative to the
current generation of memory devices, according to research published in PLOS One.
Scientists have built working memristors (忆阻器) - circuitry elements that “remember” their past electrical
activity - from the root-like part of a mushroom called the mycelium. The result is a memristor with performance
comparable to that of a silicon-based chip, but it has its own benefits in ways many computer components today do
not.
“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don’t need a lot of power when the
machine isn’t being used,” says lead researcher John LaRocco of Ohio State University. “That can bring a huge
potential advantage.”
Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts, mostly because fungal networks work in
ways similar to neural systems. They have a similar structure. And they send information using electrical and
chemical signals, just like a brain. But the fact that they aren’t actually brains means some engineering is needed to
make them do what scientists need them to do.
The team grew the mushroom mycelium under controlled conditions. Then they dried the samples in sunlight
to ensure long-term stability. Finally, they connected them to a circuit to test their performance. “We would connect
electrical wires at different points on the mushrooms,” LaRocco says. “Depending on the voltage (电压) and
connectivity, we were seeing different performances.”
The researchers achieved a performance of 5,850 Hertz, with an accuracy of 90 percent from their mushroom
memristor - that is, it switches signals at a speed of about 5,850 times per second. The researchers also found that as
the electrical voltage increased, the mushroom’s performance decreased. They were able to fix it by adding more
mushrooms to the circuit.
You’re not going to have a mycelial computer any time soon. Still, the findings do suggest that this is a
promising path for future research. As the researchers note in their paper, “The future of computing could be
fungal.”
32. What can be learned about working memristors built from mycelium
A. They are shaped like real mushrooms.
B. They need less power when not working.
C. They perform much better than traditional chips.
D. They have become a new way to store information.
33. Why do scientists choose mushrooms as computer components
A. They have brain-like working networks.
B. They can process information like humans.
C. They grow quickly in controlled conditions.
D. They can work with electrical signals alone.
34. What do the findings on mushroom memristors show
A. Higher voltage improves accuracy.
B. Connectivity has no influence on results.
C. They remain stable when voltage changes.
D. Network expansion improves their performance.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Challenges of creating biological computer chips.
B. Advantages of mushroom-based memory devices.
C. A comparison between fungal and neural networks.
D. A breakthrough in developing bio-computing components.

Our conversations define us and shape us as individuals. 36 Just as an expert says, “The quality of our
conversations is directly tied to our personal happiness, and to our social and professional success.” While issues
like nutrition have become a public health priority, we know very little about the extraordinary human capacity -
conversational abilities.
37 We struggle to engage in dialogue with people who are different from us. We forget to listen to
others when they speak, which is the bedrock of empathy and cooperation. We give improper responses without
knowing it.
For this reason, we urgently need to make conversational literacy a matter of public interest. This skill enables
us to be more reflective and aware of the power of everyday conversation. It also helps us to identify and avoid
harmful conversations. 38
When we have a real, face-to-face conversation and give our full attention, something special happens.
39 We unconsciously copy movements and coordinate with one another. Research also shows that our brains
can become synchronised (同步) during meaningful conversations. The deeper the conversation, the stronger this
connection becomes.
You can start building conversational literacy today. 40 Engaging in a genuine conversation will
have a huge impact on the success and development - both personal and professional - of the youngest members of
the family.
A. Our bodies naturally adjust to each other.
B. Everyday conversation comes very natural to us.
C. Consequently, our social relationship will improve.
D. They can create or destroy our social relationships.
E. This enables us to better recognize and express feelings.
F. Many of us do not understand how to handle a tough conversation.
G. You can try having family dinner talks without mobile phones in sight.

Ahead of this month’s springtime festival of Basant, people crammed shoulder to shoulder into the streets in
Lahore’s Old City, looking for kites and the string 56 (need) to fly them.
This is not the scene that shoppers here remember from Basant in the past. The kite festival was legally held
this month in Lahore for the first time since 2007, 57 a provincial ban on Basant took effect.
Basant’s return for three days in early February saw a more regulated version of the traditional spring festival -
with strict rules for kite sellers, banned items for buyers 58 a set window for when kites were allowed in the
sky.
There was a reason for these restrictions: Kite flying in the province 59 (become) dangerous before
earlier kite flying regulations were put in place in 2005. For many in Lahore, kite flying isn’t a form of 60
(relax). It’s a competitive sport. Over time, this competition gave rise to the use of stronger, synthetic kite string.
Saleem-ud-Din, 61 kite maker in Lahore, says the increased use of this string changed things. “It became
unsafe,” he says, 62 (add) that he and other craftsmen didn’t approve. “We say whatever bad thing people are
using, get rid of it.”
The provincial government banned the string to make kite-flying 63 (safe). One major task for Basant was
making sure those varieties 64 (transport) legally into the city from other parts of Pakistan, where production
is less regulated.
Now that Basant is officially over, according to Punjabi law, kite flying is back to being prohibited. It’s 65
(clear) whether Basant will return to Lahore or other parts of Punjab next year.

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。
Mrs. Thompson wasn’t what you’d expect from someone who would change the course of a town. In her 60s,
she was quiet, soft-spoken, and didn’t seem to stand out in any way. But what she lacked in presence, she more
than made up for with her determination and a heart full of sympathy. When she moved into our town, she noticed
the rundown state of the local playground - faded equipment, worn paint, and weeds growing through the gravel. It
was a far cry from the beautiful playgrounds she remembered from her own childhood.
Rather than complaining about it, Mrs. Thompson decided to do something about it. She didn’t have any grand
plans or special expertise. She simply had an idea - a vision for a better playground where kids could play and
families could gather. Mrs. Thompson started small, going door-to-door, talking to neighbors, and explaining her
idea. At first, some people were doubtful. The town was struggling with budget cuts and didn’t have much extra
money for a playground overhaul. But Mrs. Thompson’s passion was infectious. She listened to everyone’s
concerns and patiently responded to them. She made it clear that this wasn’t just her project but something the
whole community could benefit from.
Mrs. Thompson’s determination was quite strong. She tirelessly fundraised, organized bake sales, car washes,
and even held a small-town fair to raise money. She faced countless difficulties - funding challenges, logistical
issues, and sometimes just sheer doubt from others. But she never gave up and her determination slowly began to
draw more and more people into her cause. Neighbors started pitching in, donating time, skills, and money. A local
construction company offered to do the heavy lifting for free. Businesses contributed materials, and parents
volunteered to paint, build, and clean up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was a great day when the new playground was finally ready.
Mrs. Thompson’s influence didn’t end with a new playground.
