A doctor walked into an operating room where an operation was being performed. Everything seemed to be going
well, but the doctor noticed that no one was wearing a face mask. He was surprised—wearing a face mask is a basic
hospital procedure. But he didn’t say anything. The operation was a success, but a few days later the patient came down
with a fever. It turned out that she had contracted a serious infection, probably because the doctors and nurses hadn’t
followed a simple rule.
Atul Gawande was interested in that story and carried out a research on the importance of a checklist to boost
hospital services. Gawande is a doctor himself, and in his research he suggests that if surgeons run through a simple
checklist before every operation, then lives will be saved. And he’s got the numbers to prove it. In 2001, an experiment
at an American hospital required doctors to use a five-point checklist before they carried out specific procedures. The
checklist was just a list of routine things doctor should normally do without thinking—wearing latex gloves, washing
their hands before and after every patient, and so on. By making sure that the checklist was followed, there were almost
no infections during the 27 months of the experiment, and they estimate that around eight lives were saved. When the
checklist was tested again in hospitals in Michigan, infections went down by 66 percent.
In his study, Gawande looks at other professions, too, to support his argument that checklists reduce accidents and
improve success rates. He points out that people like engineers and pilots use checklists all the time, and he comes up
with some good examples. Just imagine that an airplane crashed because the pilot had failed to follow basic procedures.
Suppose a skyscraper collapsed because the engineers hadn’t remembered to do some important calculations. People
would demand that officials look into these events immediately.
Gawande’s study finding is really interesting and received much public attention. ‘It reminds us that sometimes
the easiest way to avoid making mistakes is to follow a very simple set of rules. It’s relevant for all of us, not just for
doctors.
24. The function of the first paragraph in this text is to ________.
A: introduce the origin of the idea for Gawande’s study
B. explain the importance of the basic hospital procedure
C. explore the causes of infections among patients in hospitals
D. emphasize the urgency of providing relevant training to doctors
25. What are the two experiments in paragraph 2 intended to prove?
A. Young medical staff need to follow the checklists.
B. Checklists are necessary for hospitals in particular.
C. Hospitals are required to maintain good management.
D. Medical infections can be reduced by observing a set of rules.
26. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Air crashes hardly occurred with the basic procedures.
B. Gawande intends to promote his idea to other professions.
C. High buildings may collapse due to engineers’ miscalculations.
D. People think it a must for a pilot or engineer to use their checklists.
27. What is the author’s attitude toward Gawande’s study?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Approving. D. Doubtful.
C
Can humans really understand what animals are saying, or are we just barking up the wrong tree?
“Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the key to unlocking the fascinating insights. Beyond creating chatbots that
charm people, machine learning may soon make it possible to decode (解码) animal calls,” says Raskin, co-founder of
the nonprofit Earth Species Project. It’s developing AI models that imitate a variety of species, aiming to have
“conversations” with animals. Its team is collecting diverse data from various species and building machine-learning
models for analysis. Project CETI (鲸类动物翻译计划) focuses on understanding a particular species, in this case the
sperm whale.
Sperm whales have complex social groups. When a familiar young male rejoined his family, researchers seized the
chance to record their sounds. For two decades, scientists documented two sperm whale groups, capturing their clicking
sounds. After manually decoding some sounds, they turned to AI for faster translation. Using a neural (神经的) network,
the team trained it to discern individual whales from a subset of sounds. Next, their ambitious goal is to train a computer
to speak whale.
As tech advances, the door has been opened to using machine learning to decode unfamiliar languages. It’s found
that AI tools have practical value beyond research. Translating animal sounds aids endangered species. Scientists study
caged birds’ calls to grasp sound changes, explaining difficulties in reintroduction. Machine learning decodes pets’
signals like barks and facial expressions. Raskin’s AI model translates dogs’ expressions, revealing their surprising
capabilities to owners. Additionally, it helps predict pig emotions based on their sounds, enhancing animal welfare.
Advancements deepen our understanding of animals.
Now enthusiastic scientists are committed to open-source data and model sharing. “Every time you invent a
technology, you also invent a responsibility,” Raskin says. “Designing a ‘whale chatbot’ demands we imagine an
animal’s experience. The true value of any language is that it helps us relate to others.”
28. What is the purpose of the Earth Species Project?
A. To gather vast data with a computer.
B. To create chatbots that imitate animals.
C. To understand animal languages using AI.
D. To study the social behavior of sperm whales.
29. What does the underlined word “discern” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Train. B. Recognize. C. Record. D. Protect.
30. How do AI tools provide practical value in deepening our insights into animals?
A. By translating animals’ calls and looks. B. By advancing animal well-being.
C. By reintroducing endangered species. D. By studying animals’ negative emotions.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Lost in Translation? Not with AI
B. A Future of Chatting with Animals
C. Whales SOS: Human-AI Unite for Miracles
D. Practical Value of Machine Learning Models

In the autumn of 2020, while stargazing on his balcony in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cole was inspired to
start taking photos of his kitchen counter. He compared the daily migrations of his pots, pans, spoons, and graters to the
revolutions of celestial bodies (天体) ,and began to track them in a “counter history”. A year later, he published the
results as Golden Apple of the Sun (2021), a book-length photo essay that expands his isolated domestic experiment
until it seems to include the whole world. Cole writes about the hunger he suffered as a boarding-school student in
Nigeria, Dutch Golden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient cookbook. “The later a photograph
is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cole explained. Somehow, from this kitchen sink of memoir (回忆录), art
history, and observant boredom emerges a portrait of the pandemic’s collective solitude, “this year of feeling buried in
the dark earth like bulbs.”
Cole’s work makes an art—and a necessary virtue—of close looking. Open City (2011), his first novel, won praise
for its portrayal of post-9/11 New York, whose buried histories of violence and displacement resurface in the course of
a medical student’s wanderings. In Cole’s essays, tranquil Vermeers reveal traces of empire in colonial times, and
stormy Caravaggios picture beforehand the uncertain journeys of twenty-first-century migrants.
His great theme is the limits of vision, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis for a kind of second
sight. “Among the human rights is the right to remain unseen and dark,” Cole writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent
essay collection. In his own pictures, people seldom appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied. Blind
Spot (2017), an experimental photo book recording his travels, gathers images of hotel rooms, border fences, ships, and
tombs. “Darkness is not empty,” Cole writes. “It is information at rest. Beauty, briefly, slips from the shadows.”
32. What made Cole start to take photos of his kitchen counter?
A. His isolated domestic lifestyle.
B. His great interest in photo-taking.
C. The inspiration he got while stargazing.
D. The suffering as a boarding-school student.
33. What do we know about Cole’s first novel?
A. It was praised for making a new art.
B. It was written through a student’s view.
C. It resurfaces traces of a colonial empire.
D. It foresees the uncertain journey of migrants.
34. Why does Cole prefer the limits of vision in his works?
A. People can feel what is unseen by themselves.
B. Human rights can be well protected in the theory.
C. It is one of the basic skills for the artists like him.
D. He starts a new style to write about common people.
35. What can we infer about Cole?
A. He has a limited vision. B. He published a cookbook.
C. He enjoys taking photos of people. D. He focuses on stories behind pictures.

It has been a few rough years. Many of us are finding ourselves exhausted, burned out, struggling to build balance
back into our lives. We need to recharge. Water can help.
Participating in water activities such as swimming or surfing can help us enter a “flow state”. 36 It calms the
mind, which is often absorbed by reasoning and worry, says Ricardo Gil-da-Costa, a neuroscientist and chief executive
of the neurotechnology company Neuroverse, who has studied how water affects our brain.
Bodies of water also can produce a glorious sense of awe—the emotional response to something vast that expands
and challenges how we see the world. 37 Water naturally relaxes us and helps focus our thoughts by taking away
all the noise.
Water has special properties that may boost nature’s positive impact, environmental psychologists say. When we
are near water, there is often less visual and auditory information to process. Our mind can rest, 38 Besides, its
smell can stir (激发) up positive memories and associations. When we’re floating in water, our bodies can rest too, in a
way we never can on land.
39 It moves rhythmically, producing a play of light, color and sound that is fascinating. It holds our attention,
but not in an overly demanding way, 40 It gives our brains a break from the intense, focused, exhausting attention
that much of daily life requires. “Water helps your mind wander in a positive way,” says Mare Berman, director of the
Environmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Chicago. “This is what is so restorative.”
A. Most important: Water is dynamic.
B. Researchers call this soft fascination.
C. One of the most calming properties of water is its sound.
D. It means we become fully devoted to what we’re doing.
E. The sound of water, typically steady and soft, comforts us.
F. Here’s some advice on how to use the healing power of water.
G. Awe can decrease stress and help us put things into perspective.

第二节（满分 25 分）
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 never pick up hitch-hikers (搭便车者) as a rule. I don’t know what moved me to do so today. I was heading from
North Platte to Brady and he was just outside of North Platte. He jumped in and said, “Thanks for stopping.” I said, “No
problem, I’m going to Brady about 23 miles up the road, and I’ll take you that far.”
As we were conversing, I noticed he smelt of alcohol. I also noticed his wrinkled, sun darkened and unshaven face,
his messy hair and clothes. But what I noticed most was his clear, large, blue eyes. They say the eyes are the window to
the soul, and I believe it, if you look closely, you can pretty much tell the kind of soul a person has through their eyes.
His eyes were almost indescribable. They were so spellbinding, not a bit of hate in them. Looking at his very rough
appearance, I could tell he’d been down a very hard road. Somehow, despite the road he had been down, there was no
hate in his eyes, only love.
I asked him if he wanted a smoke, and he said yes, so I gave him one, then I let him keep the whole pack, for which
he seemed genuinely grateful. I started asking him where he was from, where he was heading, whether he had a family,
etc. He told me he had been on the road for six days, coming from Arizona where he had recently had a heart attack and
heart surgery. He was pretty much healed up but couldn’t find work. He was heading back to his birthplace of Kansas
City, which is where I was born as well. He said he lost his wife to a brain tumor ten years ago, and that he never had
kids because his wife couldn’t have any. We talked the rest of the way, and I had a feeling that there was something
about this guy that I couldn’t put my finger on, but it was something special.
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。
So we got to Brady and I said, “Well, this is the end of my line.”
As I mentioned, I told him I was going to give him some money.
