The 36-year-old Jia Juntingxian was born in Pingxiang, Jiangxi Province, and was blind in both eyes due to congenital eye disease. She has shown athletic talent since childhood and was selected as a track and field athlete by Jiangxi Disabled Persons' Federation.
Although she can't see the world, Jia breaks through the “immediate” obstacles again and again while running, letting the world see her. In her sports career, Jia has won 43 national and world-class sports medals. Among them, in 2016, she broke the world record and stood on the podium(领奖台)of the women's T11-T13 4×100-meter relay event at the Rio Paralympics.
In 2017, Jia retired and chose to become a teacher at a special education school. Just a year ago, she found out that two young brothers, with visual impairments(视觉障碍), wanted to be an athlete. They had never attended a special education school and never achieved their athletic dream. Jia could only help them attend a local special education school. The experience made her realize that these children living in remote areas may have little knowledge of special education. Even she didn't know about such schools until late into her education. Therefore, she decided to become more involved with special education.
Changing from a Paralympic competitor to a special education teacher, Jia said that there is no discomfort, “Because I understand the students as well as myself and know the inconveniences and difficulties of the children. I hope that every child is like a different seed.Through hard study, they can bravely realize their own life.”
Jia also has paid close attention to the rights and interests of disabled people. In 2021, Jia proposed the construction of audible (听得见的) traffic signals for blind people. Her advice to local authorities on dog management has resulted in more indoor public places allowing the disabled to enter with their assistance dogs. Jia and her husband founded a massage(按摩)shop and currently employ 16 visually impaired people, with an average monthly salary of 3, 500 yuan per person.

Coral reefs in Florida have lost an estimated 90% of their corals in the last 40 years. This summer, a marine heat wave hit Florida's coral reefs. The record high temperatures created an extremely stressful environment for the coral reefs, which are currently also experiencing intense coral bleaching (白化).
A coral is an animal, which has a symbiotic relationship with a microscopic algae(藻类). The algae gets energy from the sun and shares it with the coral internally. The coral builds a rock-like structure, which makes up most of the reef, providing homes and food for many organisms that live there. Coral bleaching is when the symbiotic relationship breaks down. Without the algae, the corals appear white because the rock skeleton becomes visible. If the bleaching continues for an extended period, the corals can starve to death without the energy.
Florida is on the front lines of climate change. It is also on the cutting edge of restoration science. Many labs, institutions and other organizations are working nonstop to protect and maintain the coral reefs. This includes efforts to understand what is troubling the reef, from disease outbreaks to coastal development impacts. It also includes harvesting coral spawn (卵), or growing and planting coral parts. Scientists moved many coral nurseries into deeper water and shore-based facilities during this marine heat wave. They are digging into the DNA of the coral to discover which species will survive best in future.
There are some bright spots in the story, however. Some corals have recovered from the bleaching, and many did not bleach at all. In addition, researchers recorded coral spawning. Although it's not clear yet whether the larvae (幼虫) will be successful in the wild, it's a sign of recovery potential. If the baby corals survive, they will be able to regrow the reef. They just have to avoid one big boss: human-induced climate change.
28. What does the underlined word “symbiotic” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Reliable. B. Opposite. C. Harmonious. D. Contradictory.
29. What caused the coral bleaching
A. The rock skeleton. B. The microscopic algae.
C. The high temperatures. D. The symbiotic relationship.
30. Which is not the efforts scientists made to help coral reefs
A. Transferring coral nurseries. B. Growing and planting coral spawn.
C. Researching the DNA of the coral. D. Figuring out the reasons for problems.
31. Which of the following best describes the impact of scientists' efforts
A. Identifiable. B. Predictable. C. Far-reaching. D. Effective.
D
Scientists at the UCL Institute for Neurology have developed new tools, based on AI language models, that can characterize subtle signatures in the speech of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (精神分裂症). The research, published in PNAS, aims to understand how the automated analysis of language could help doctors and scientists diagnose and assess psychiatric(病) conditions.
Currently, psychiatric diagnosis is based almost entirely on talking with patients and those close to them, with only a minimal role for tests such as blood tests and brain scans. However, this lack of precision prevents a richer understanding of the causes of mental illness and the monitoring of treatment.
The researchers asked 26 participants with schizophrenia and 26 control participants to complete two verbal fluency tasks, where they were asked to name as many words as they could either belonging to the category “animals” or starting with the letter “p” in five minutes. To analyze the answers given by participants, the team used an AI language model to represent the meaning of words in a similar way to humans. They tested whether the words people naturally recalled could be predicted by the AI model, and whether this predictability was reduced in patients with schizophrenia.
They found that the answers given by control participants were indeed more predictable by the AI model than those generated by people with schizophrenia, and that this difference was largest in patients with more severe symptoms. The researchers think that this difference might have to do with the way the brain learns relationships between memories and ideas, and stores this information in so called “cognitive maps”.
The team now plan to use this technology in a larger sample of patients, across more diverse speech setting, to test whether it might prove useful in the clinic. Lead author, Dr Matthew Nour, said: “There is enormous interest in using AI language models in medicine. If these tools prove safe, I expect they will begin to be used in the clinic within the next decade.”
32. What is the disadvantage of current psychiatric diagnosis
A. It is greatly related to blood tests. B. It mostly relies on talking with patients.
C. It refers to the words of patients' family. D. It can't comprehend schizophrenia deeply.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The process of the research. B. The tasks of the participants.
C. The performance of researchers. D. The predictability of AI language models
34. What is Dr Matthew Nour's attitude toward AI language models
A. Unclear. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. AI language new tools used in the clinic. B. AI language tools developed by scientists.
C. AI language models treating schizophrenia. D. AI language models diagnosing schizophrenia.

Jim stared at the ground and sighed in disappointment. Players from the opposing team raced past Jim, celebrating their shocking victory. They'd scored the game-winning goal just seconds before the end of the game.
“Just one word to describe a loss like that,” Jim mumbled to his teammate Devin.
“Terrible!” Devin sighed. “It was a tough one.” He trotted (小步快跑) toward the middle of the field to shake hands with the winning team. Jim walked slowly behind Devin. He unhappily slapped hands with the winners, then stopped to shut his eyes as the autumn air cooled his sweaty face.
“Terrible,” he repeated to himself as he sat on the bench and pulled his jacket on. “Let's get some hot chocolate and watch the next game,” Devin said. There were eight teams in the YMCA league, so games would go on all morning. “Sorry. I'm heading home,” Jim said, “I've had enough soccer for today.”
As he reached the gate, Jim glanced back to see the next two teams take the field. They were jumping and shouting, excited to play. “That was us a little while ago, before we were discouraged.” Jim thought.
So why we lost the game at last Jim asked himself. How did such a well-played game end up with such a terrible result It was still clear in his head: Jim had the ball deep on the Jets' side of the field, looking for Devin or another teammate to pass to. His team had outplayed the Jets for most of the game, but failed within the last seconds.
Jim let out a deep breath. The morning was growing warmer. Perfect for soccer. Jim looked back toward the field. He couldn't see it, but he could hear the excited voices as the game continued.

应用文
Dear fellows,
I am happy to share with you my favorite sport. Among the “big family” of sports, I have a preference for basketball.
Basketball is a team sport that requires cooperation, skills, and endurance, which is a great way to stay physically active and socialize. I love the sense of accomplishment I feel when I hit a game— winning shot or contribute to my team's victory. Furthermore, it is also a sport that can be played by people of all ages and abilities.
Personally, not only does the sport help me build up my body, but also it helps develop a sense of team spirit that I value in all aspects of my life, Life lies in movement. Let's do it!
Thank you!

One possible version:
With a car's horn beeping, Jim's friends Tara and Bryan jumped out of the car. “How did you do ” Tara asked eagerly. “Terrible!” Jim replied in a down tone, still trying to figure out how the opposing team scored the game— winning goal just seconds before the end of the game. Bryan patted Jim's shoulder asking, “Is winning the game the only reason why you play soccer and what really matters when playing a game ” Hearing this, Jim didn't want to go home but decided to follow his friends and watch their game.
There came the turn for Tara and Bryan's team to play the game. Jim watched with full attention as Tara's team played fiercely against their opposing team. What impressed him most was that all the players in Tara's team cooperated perfectly with unwavering resolve on their faces. Even when they were in a tie with the opponent, they stayed positive and confident. It dawned on Jim that success doesn't always depend on the end result, but rather on how we face adversity and grow from it.

W: I grew up in a small mountain village in Zhaotong, Yunnan. The village is often hit by power cuts, Many people keep a machine in their homes so that they can turn to it whenever the power is out.

W: One day, I came across a popular short video about my hometown. Then I decided to follow suit.

M: You may use your pocket money to get a mobile phone, a video game or some books. However, you may feel it shameful when you buy something you want but don't really need. The situation may not appear if you manage your money in a right way, which means spending money as much as you can on things you need but less money on something you don't need. I's not about controlling yourself. It's about realizing what you really need and spending your money on the things you love without feeling shameful.
The most important thing to stop useless spending is to ask yourself questions like “Where is my money going What do I need to spend my money on How much do I want to save ”
Answering these questions can help you feel relaxed. At the same time, you can make sure what you don't care about and live according to what's important to you. That makes it much easier to control your spending in areas that don't matter as much. When you've thought about what you really value, you'll stop feeling worried, questioned or shameful about how you spend your money.
