Song Yingxing was a Chinese scientist and encyclopedist （百科全书编纂者） who lived
during the late Ming Dynasty. The British biochemist and historian Joseph Needham called him The
Diderot of China.
Song Yingxing was born in Fengxin county in Jiangxi province in 1587. He took part in the
second highest imperial （科举） examinations in Beijing six times, but failed to become a jinshi.
After that, he decided to give up taking exams and turned to the practical knowledge of natural
science. Then Song Yingxing spent four years teaching his students in his hometown.
Although it was a job like teaching, it was a very important stage in Song Yingxing's life,
because many of his works were written here. And Song Yingxing had been living in a secluded （
4 / 12
隐 居的） life in the past ten years. Because he didn't want to be an official, Song Yingxing lived a
very poor life in his later years.
He was the author of Tian Gong Kai Wu, an encyclopedia that covered a wide variety of technical
subjects. As Joseph Needham has observed, the vast amount of accurately drawn illustrations in this
encyclopedia dwarfed the amount provided in previous Chinese encyclopedias, making it a valuable
written work in the history of Chinese literature. Tian Gong Kai Wu records all aspects of technology
up to the mid-Ming period. The book constitutes a complete system of science and technology, and
provides a systematic summary of ancient Chinese technology, the experience accumulated by China
in agriculture, and China's achievements in technology.
Many of the production techniques described in the book are still in use today. At the same time,
Tian Gong Kai Wu broke from Chinese tradition by rarely referencing previous written work. It was
instead written in a style strongly suggestive of personal experience. The book was translated into
Japanese, French, English, German, Italian, and Russian, and was widely circulated in Europe and
Japan.
In addition, Song Yingxing had made great achievements in many fields. His research was very
extensive. In physics, he studied the occurrence of sound and, finally concluded that sound is
transmitted in the air.
24. What can we learn about Song Yingxing from the text?
A. He adjusted the direction of life. B. He dreamed to be a great scientist.
C. He received a science education. D. He passed imperial examinations.
25. Which of the following best describes Song's teaching life?
A. Busy but satisfactory. B. Significant and rewarding.
C. Comfortable but worthless. D. Challenging and intolerant.
26. What's the possible meaning of the underlined word dwarfed?
A. Make something seem smaller. B. Apply something to practice.
C. Provide evidence of something. D. Take advantage of something.
27. What is one of the features of Tian Gong Kai Wu?
A. It provided abundant first-hand experience.
B. It was written in multiple foreign languages.
C. It focused merely on agricultural technology.

D. It largely referenced previous encyclopedias.

Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when
they wake up is to send Good morning to their virtual friend （or lover）. This story is only the
beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility （实
用） and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary-
including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to
anthropomorphize （赋与人性） the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate
behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are
suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapybots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious
about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and
entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem
unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of
experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The
science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal
information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some
consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate （操纵）
their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the
app, my handsome, blue-eyed friend sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me
something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for
its benefit.
Today, we're still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of
individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging-and taking
more seriously-these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home:
Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
28. What's the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1?
A. To prove an opinion. B. To raise a subject.
6 / 12
C. To share an example. D. To explain a concept.
29. How do human interact with the machines effectively?
A. By improving the machines' imagination.
B. By sharpening the machines' language skills.
C. By applying the machines' facial recognition.
D. By imitating the machines' emotional behavior.
30. What does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
31. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024?
A. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
B. It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills.
D. It is labelled as highly advanced technology.

Metaura Pro claims to be the world's first wearable air-conditioning device capable of constantly
blowing cold air to keep the wearer cool.
Conventional wearable cooling systems only circulate the surrounding air, and thus don't do a
very good job of cooling people down. The stronger the wind blows, the hotter you get. This is
definitely not what you want during those hot summer days. Metaura Pro, on the other hand, relies
on a cooling solution to produce genuinely cold air that is 7 degrees Fahrenheit （华氏的） cooler
than that of the surrounding area, in fan mode, and up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the
surrounding air, in cooling mode. The device has a smart app and relies on artificial intelligence to
regulate air temperature.
Metaura Pro is driven by a powerful motor and its cooling modules are made up of 26 lightweight
flat objects that wrap around the wearer's neck and help to reduce heat. The motor is linked to a high-
speed fan at the back of the device which also drives away some of that warm air around the neck.
7 / 12
The device also has a VC plate, which has a liquid-cooled, heat-equalizing mechanism, efficiently
creating a temperature differential between hot and cold temperatures.
What sets Metaura Pro apart from the competition is that it produces genuinely cold air lower
than the surrounding temperature, refreshing you during those dog days of summer, the Metaura
Pro Kickstarter crowdfunding page reads.
Metaura Pro not only supplies a cooling function, but also has the capacity for heating as well
in winter, it can be used to warm your body to a comfortable temperature, when the surrounding air
feels cold.
The device intelligently monitors itself, so when you take it off, it recognizes that it is no longer
in use and will automatically shut off and switch to standby mode to save power consumption.
Metaura Pro wearable collar is powered by a chargeable battery that can provide only 3 hours of
cooling on a single charge. The device weighs 435 grams, which is not heavy, but definitely
noticeable.
32. How does Metaura Pro manage to keep people cool?
A. By dropping the body temperature. B. By circulating the surrounding air.
C. By producing lower-temperature air. D. By blowing the strong wind around.
33. What is mainly discussed about Metaura Pro in paragraph 3?
A. Its internal structure. B. Its operating costs.
C. Its amazing function. D. Its working principle.
34. What may be the disadvantage of the device?
A. It puts limitation on cooling function.
B. It switches to different modes by hand.
C. It possesses a relatively short battery life.
D. It depends much on outdoor temperatures.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A double-mode smart phone app B. A cooling air-conditioning system
C. A rechargeable battery for e-products D. A wearable temperature-adjusting device

余选项。
When we are faced with a crisis, or if we have an important decision to make, many of us fall
into the trap of over-thinking. We may keep thinking about something constantly and too long. 36
How can we stop ourselves from over-thinking?
Doing something to distract yourself is a good idea. You can find working with your hands is
especially good. 37 Your brain simply doesn't have the resources to split itself into a third activity,
for example over-thinking.
38 Studies have shown that when someone views something in excitement and anxiety, the
brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged. You
do not have time to focus on something different, which can cause over-thinking.
Constant wishing, hoping and praying do not give you any relief. They just keep you stuck in
one place. But taking the smallest step off the crisis really matters. It will set things in motion, making
you like a snowball. 39
The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without you realizing that there is a
connection between the two. Thus, avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea. 40 For example, if
one of your colleagues is so negative that she always drags you down, stop hanging out with her by
having lunch alone at a nearby restaurant.
A. This mindset tends to ruin our day.
B. Put simply, out of sight, out of mind.
C. Just as a saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.
D. You are really getting your brain working for you.
E. Other activities are the ones that arouse your curiosity.
F. It engages your movement skills and thinking process.
G. Thus, you will gradually move yourself out of the feeling.
