Approaching 96, at an age when most are lonely and in poor health, Olga Murray, full of energy, has been eagerly planning a trip to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, while keeping in contact with hundreds of friends around the world. How can she be in such good shape Is it her good genes (Her mother lived to 98.) Her daily salads and three-times-a-week workouts Or might it have something to do with the retired lawyer’s second career as founder of a nonprofit organization
Scientists increasingly are finding that the answer—call it living with purpose, finding meaning in life or just engaging with something larger than yourself can be a particularly healthy pursuit. Living with a sense of purpose can improve the quality of those final years. Murray offers
a vivid example of how to create a sense of meaning.
Murray’s story began in 1984, after she had worked 37 years as a lawyer and was starting to think about retirement. At 59, while traveling in Nepal, Murray found herself amazed by the children there. “They were poor beyond anything I had ever experienced,” she recalled in a self-published memoir(自传) years later. “Yet they were the most joyful little kids anywhere on
earth.” She wanted to put the rest of her life into helping educate Nepalese children.
Returning to Nepal the next year, she met Allan Aistrope, then a volunteer English teacher at the country’s only orphanage( 孤儿院). The two combined forces, beginning with organizing college scholarships for four of the orphans. After another five years, they had launched the Nepal
Youth Foundation (NYF), which by then was supporting several hundred scholarship students and raising 60 homeless children. In 1994, the two hired Som Paneru, a former scholarship student, as executive director. Murray has taken several steps to make sure the NYF will survive after the unavoidable loss of her presence. She handed over the presidency to Paneru in 2012. Now, she is busy as usual, leading lots of fundraising campaigns.
How did Nepalese children impress Murray when she traveled in Nepal at 59
They were eager to receive education.
They lived a very poor but happy life.
They liked to communicate with foreigners.
They were terribly interested in her memoir.
What did Murray do first when she travelled to Nepal the second time
She helped four orphans go to college.
She started the Nepal Youth Foundation.
She volunteered to act as an English teacher.
She sent 60 homeless children to the orphanage.
Which best describes Murray
Confident and helpful. B．Energetic and selfless.
C．Creative and professional. D．Kind-hearted and flexible.
What’s the best title of this text
A．Exercise Regularly. B．Change Your Jobs.
C．Travel to Nepal. D．Live a Purposeful Life.
C
ChatGPT and other generative AI tools have raised concerns that chatbots will replace many kinds of workers. Writers, editors, and customer service representatives are among the jobs that could be affected.
Supporters reason that AI might destroy some jobs while creating others. They also say that the technology will probably make workers more productive, benefiting themselves, their employers and the economy. Sam Altman is the chief of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. He said that he believes “AI is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, and this is going to change the way
that a lot of current jobs function.” Nick Bunker is an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab, part of a job search website. He said that he does not believe the technology is going to lead to a lot of unemployment. “We have seen other big technological events in our history, and those didn’t lead to a large rise in unemployment. Technology destroys but also creates. There will be new jobs that come about,” he said.
Erik Brynjolfsson of Stanford University, Danielle Li and Lindsey Raymond of MIT studied 5,200 customer-support agents at a large company. The researchers found that those who used the chatbot were 14 percent more productive than workers who did not use the chatbot. The workers who used AI took more calls and completed them faster.
However, the fear that AI is a threat to some kinds of jobs has a basis in reality. Suumit Shah is an Indian business owner who announced last year that he had replaced 90 percent of his customer-support workers with a chatbot named Lina. Shah’s company, Dukaan, helps customers set up e-commerce sites to sell goods online. Shah said the average amount of time it took to answer a customer’s question shrank from 1 minute and 44 seconds to “instant”. The chatbot also cut the time needed to resolve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes.
What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 probably mean
Bring about. B．Turn out. C．Fit in with. D．Get rid of.
What’s Bunker’s attitude to AI like chatbots
Confused. B．Amazed. C．Acceptable. D．Concerned.
What does the study in paragraph 3 tell us A．Chatbots make workers more efficient.
B．AI is a big threat to some kinds of jobs. C．Chatbots will destroy lots of human jobs. D．AI is much more productive than humans.
How does the author organize the text
By giving examples. B．By making comparisons.
C．By offering suggestions. D．By listing research results.
D
It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage conservators at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite erosion (侵蚀) by sand and wind.
The team is dedicated to protecting the 45, 000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more
than 2, 400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site, the construction of which spans about a thousand years, from the 4th century to the 14th century. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness (包容) to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.
Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and flaking ( 剥落), as well as erosion that is caused by changes in temperature and humidity of the caves, and the deposition of salts. To restore ( 修复) a mural requires an all-rounder. Restorers should know painting, master the skills of a mason (石匠) and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding ( 相应的) causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.
The restoration ( 修复) should respect the original work and aim to maintain the status quo ( 现状) of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好无损的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”
Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research
to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetimes,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the existing look of the murals for as long as possible.
What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
To show the popularity of Dunhuang murals.
To explain the history of the ancient Silk Road.
To stress the significance of the restoration work.
To present the ways of protecting cultural heritage.
Which of the following best describes the restoration work
Creative. B．Well-paid. C．Interesting. D．Demanding.
What should restoring murals focus on according to paragraph 4
Spotting the faded murals in time. B．Fixing the missing parts of murals.
C．Making preservation(保护) of the murals as they are. D．Repainting to perfect the appearance of murals.
What can be a suitable title for the text
The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings.
The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves.
The Successful Experiment on Cave Conservation.
The Role of the Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese Culture.
第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Following the announcement that a trendy bookstore in Xi’an is shutting down, the question about the sustainability ( 持续性) of physical bookstores has once again started a heated discussion. Physical bookstores need to find new ways to adapt in the face of e-commerce, and it’s crucial to maintain cultural spaces to enhance customer service. 36
E-commerce’s rise has led physical bookstores to reinvent themselves. They are becoming cultural and commercial centers. 37 Brands like SiSYPHE, Fang Suo Commune, and
Yanjiyou bookstores have become popular, thanks to their beautiful designs and diverse offerings such as cultural and creative products.
But Zhang Yi, former vice president of a publishing house, said that the difficulty these
trendy bookstores face lies not in the new business models, but in what a bookstore should represent.
Indeed, bookstores don’t have to stick to the traditional model of just selling books. 38
In doing so, they risk losing focus on their core mission of promoting books and fostering a literary culture.
A bookstore should be a heaven ( 天 堂 ) for book lovers, matching with China’s longstanding tradition of “making friends through books”. This practice, rooted in ancient Chinese history, emphasizes real connections over short-lived social media trends.
39 A bookseller noted that while these stores invest heavily in creating visually
attractive spaces, they often fall short in offering a thoughtful, diverse range of books.
It’s worth noting that it is not enough for physical bookstores to rely on short-lived trends and creative products. 40 This approach helps them create a unique identity and
ensures their survival in a competitive marketplace.
Physical bookstores still face a series of problems.
This is key to turning trendy bookstores into sustainable businesses. C．Bookstores that are still standing must develop and use their strengths.
Focusing on great book selection and meaningful cultural services is vital for them.
Another challenge for trendy bookstores is a lack of attention given to book selection.
Some trendy bookstores have gone too far into the field of commercial entertainment.
That means they offer not only books but also spaces for coffee and social media photos.

Finally, I value my family, who offered help and sent text messages and reminders to make me stay 53 . During my recovery, one stood out, “Recovery is more difficult than any race, but 54 always wins.”
This setback reminds me that we are almost certain to get 55 at some point during

67．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。
For most people, adopting a pet is one of the best decisions that they can ever make in their lives. In addition to giving an animal a permanent (永久的) home and a loving family, the owner will find the company of a pet brings more happiness than expected.
For someone like Maria Luiza Valcazara, having a pet was very suitable. She was all alone after moving to a new apartment in Brazil, and her solitary (独居的) life made her feel lonely.
So when she found a cute black puppy named Chips, she knew she had to take him home.
Maria thought that Chips would be able to fill the emptiness that she had been experiencing from living all alone.
Maria was right. Once she took the puppy home, they immediately bonded. However, as Maria had to work during the day, she was worried about leaving Chips home alone in her apartment. She was also worried that his crying would upset her neighbors.
One night, when she returned home, she considered her fears were confirmed. There, outside her door, was a package with a folded note attached to it.
Marin knew that she was in trouble. She hoped that she would not be evicted (驱逐) from her new apartment because of Chips. She loved Chips so much, and she was afraid that she might have to get rid of him because he made too much noise whenever she was away. Maria was scared and wondered who could have left it at the door because she had little contact with the people in the building.
However, when she noticed the names on the folded note, she found that it wasn't addressed to her but to her dog, Chips, and that it was “written” by another dog named Corote. Maria opened the package first and found a few toys for pets.

Recently, our class held a discussion about whether high school students should learn financial management.
Supporters say it helps them handle pocket money and acquire useful life skills early.
However, opponents argue that learning about finance might take time away from core subjects. They also worry it could add to the stress students already face from studying.
In my opinion, the benefits of learning financial management are more significant. While regular classes are important, adding simple money skills to school can teach students valuable life lessons. Students can learn to be smart with money without hurting their grades. That’s why I think money management should be taught in high school.

67．Curious, Maria opened the note and started reading it. The note, written by her neighboring dog owner, Angela, said she had noticed Chips crying a lot when Maria was away. Angela, in Corote's voice, suggested they play together when Maria was not home. This way, Chips wouldn't feel lonely. Maria was deeply moved and felt relieved after reading the note. Instead of expressing discontent, her kind neighbor was really understanding and tried to offer support.
Maria felt she needed to meet Angela and her dog.
With Chips following her, Maria knocked at her neighbor's door. The door opened and Maria saw a woman, who must be Angela, smiling at her. Corote, Angela's dog, followed her and stared at Chips happily. The two dogs immediately hit it off. A pleasant atmosphere was created when Maria and Angela were chatting.

M: Yes, I have. Our band went to about ten schools in Seattle. It was a lot of fun. W: Have you made a CD yet
M: Yes, I have. I made one last year. It’s called Someone Like You, and I’ve already sold 5, 000 CDs.
W: Wow. How old are you M: I’m 15.
W: That’s great!

【原文】M: What’s your plan for the summer holiday, Amanda
W: I want to spend a month on my uncle’s farm in New York. But my mother wishes me to go to Beijing, China.
M: Why does she want you to go to Beijing Does she want to travel round the city with you W: No. My mother is from China. She wants to send me to Beijing to live with my grandmother,
hoping the holiday will teach me a lot about Chinese culture. M: Well, do you want to go there
W: No. It’s usually very hot in summer there. I just want to spend a relaxing summer at my uncle’s.
M: So what will you do
W: I guess I’ll tell my mother that I’ll go to Beijing in the fall. It’s usually very comfortable in Beijing then.
M: That sounds like a good idea!
W: So what’s your plan for the summer
M: I planned to go to London with some friends. But they’re not available. So I’ll just stay in Los Angeles and do some part-time work.

【原文】What is it like to travel in space If you have ever watched space movies, you may know something about it. Aurora Station is the world’s first space hotel. US company Orion Span built the hotel. The hotel is around 12 feet wide and 35 feet long. It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022. It will fly 320 kilometers above Earth. It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to earth as a souvenir. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9. 5 million. That’s really a large amount of money.
