Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well, there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit — known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”
It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you’ll never be without something to read.
24. Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use.
C. To meet passengers’ needs. D. To reduce its running costs.
25. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A. By popularity. B. By length.
C. By theme. D. By language.
26. What has Trost been doing recently?
A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers.
C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists.
27. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future?
A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline.
C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase.
C
We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
28. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
29. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
30. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management.
C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards.
D
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI — the technology companies and world leaders — so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
32. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.
C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic.
33. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?
A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals.
34. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 36 Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. 37
Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 38 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
39 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 40 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

It’s these small 48 of kindness that make a new country feel like home.
As a foodie, the way to my heart is through my stomach, and nowhere fuels my 49 quite like Italy. Each town has its own traditional 50 , and every family keeps a recipe passed from one generation to another. Families 51 for big meals on Sundays, birthdays, and whatever other excuses they can 52 .

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 met Gunter on a cold, wet and unforgettable evening in September. I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn’t heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. “We made it,” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: “Out of order. Sorry.”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右。
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised.

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何应对过度旅游这个问题。
36. B 空前“Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.”指出了旅游的种种好处，接着话锋一转，提到了旅游业的快速增长导致的过度旅游问题。空后“Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.”说明了旅游的不可或缺性，并引出了下文的旅游建议。根据上下文语境可推知，空处应是一个有关旅游的提问，空后内容是对该提问的回答，因此B项“So, should we stop traveling?（那么，我们应该停止旅游吗？）”符合语境。故选B。
37. C 根据本段首句“Choose mindfully.”以及空前的“Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you.”可知，该段建议读者明智选择出行目的地，去那些景观、文化或食物深深吸引自己的地方，强调了以个人体验为核心的旅游思想，因此C项“Travel for you and no one else.（为自己而旅行，而不是为了别人。）”符合语境。故选C。

E 该段强调了旅游要有创新思维，并指出过度旅游只集中在少数极受欢迎的地点。空前“That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from.”指出，你有大量的选择机会，去那些不太热门的旅行目的地。空后“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?”具体给出了选择出行目的的方案，因此E项“You can still find relatively undiscovered places.（你仍然可以找到相对未被发现的地方。）”符合语境。E项中的“undiscovered”照应上句中的“less-visited”和下句中的“lesser-known”。故选E。
39. A 根据文章结构可知，空处是该段的主旨句。根据空后的“Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.”及下文内容可知，该段强调错峰出行，并指出了错峰出行的好处。A项“Visit during off-peak times.（在淡季时访问。）”能概括本段大意，符合语境。故选A。
40. G 空前“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.”指出，要尽自己的力量保护你所参观地方的特色。G项中的“giving back”呼应上句中的“preserve”，同时，G项中的“communities”也是空后句中“there”的所指。因此G项“Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.（考虑回馈你正在参观的社区。）”符合语境。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者选择定居意大利的原因。
41. D 考查动词辨析。根据第二段中的“After I made Italy my permanent home”可知，我定居在了意大利，由此可推知，这里是指当涉及选择“定居”场所的时候。study“学习”；rent“租”；visit“参观；拜访”；settle“定居”。故选D。
42. B 考查动词辨析。根据空前的“During my first visit to Italy”可知，作者在描述自己第一次去意大利的情形。根据常识可推知，第一次去一个陌生的国家，问路吃饭应是很吃力的。下文用but进行转折，表达了意大利人对作者的友好，由此也可以推知，该处应是在表达作者的吃力。plan“计划”；struggle“挣扎”；refuse“拒绝”；happen“发生；碰巧”。struggle to do sth意为“吃力地做某事”。故选B。
43. A 考查动词辨析。根据上下文语境和“tried”可推知，作者意大利语并不熟练，由此可推知，这里是指作者努力“拼凑”出一句话。string“把（单词或短语）连成句子”；hang“悬挂”；mix“混合”；match“配对；匹配”。故选A。
44. D 考查动词辨析。根据空前的“smiled”以及空后的“That encouragement helped me”可推知，虽然作者的意大利语说得蹩脚，但是意大利人还是会“夸奖”作者的语言技能。improve“提高”；assess“分析”；admire“钦佩”；praise“夸奖；表扬”。故选D。
45. B 考查名词辨析。根据语境可推知，这里是说意大利人的鼓励帮助作者跨过了语言“障碍”。course“课程”；barrier“障碍”；area“区域”；test“测试”。故选B。
46. C 考查形容词辨析。根据下文中的“Neighbors will bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to me to close the window in my car when rain is coming. It’s these small of kindness that make a new country feel like home.”可知，意大利人是“温暖热心的”人。open-minded“思想开放的；无偏见的”；strong-willed“意志坚强的”；warm-hearted“热心的”；well-informed“见多识广的；知识渊博的”。故选C。
47. A 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“to close the window in my car when rain is coming”可知，这里是指意大利人还在下雨的时候“提醒”作者关窗户。remind“提醒”；allow“允许”；persuade“说服”；order“命令”。故选A。
48. C 考查名词辨析。根据语境可知，这里是指意大利人这些小小的善举，使作者有了家的感觉。trick“花招；诡计”；promise“承诺”；act“行为”；duty“责任；职责”。act of kindness意为“善举”。故选C。
49. C 考查名词辨析。根据上文中的“As a foodie, the way to my heart is through my stomach”可知，作者是一个美食爱好者，因此这里是指没有什么地方能像意大利一样激起作者的“食欲”。ambition“抱负；志向”；success“成功”；appetite“食欲；胃口”；growth“成长”。故选C。
50. B 考查名词辨析。根据上文提到的作者对于美食的热爱以及下文的“every family keeps a recipe passed from one generation to another”可推知，这里是指每个小镇都有自己的传统“菜肴”。costume“服装”；dish“菜肴”；symbol“符号；象征”；tale“故事”。故选B。
51. A 考查动词辨析。根据下文的“for big meals on Sundays, birthdays, and whatever other excuses”及“you sit down to a big meal with friends and family”可推知，意大利人热爱聚餐，他们会抓住各种机会，想出各种借口去“聚会”。gather“聚集；集合”；cheer“欢呼；加油”；leave“离开”；wait“等待”。故选A。
52. C 考查动词短语辨析。根据语境可知，这里是指意大利人热爱聚餐，因此会“提出”一切能想到的理由来聚会。put up with“忍受”；stand up for“支持；维护”；come up with“想到，提出（计划、想法等）”；make up for“弥补；补偿”。故选C。
53. D 考查动词辨析。这里是指意大利人聚餐总是“伴随”着欢声笑语。signal“表示；表明”；confirm“确认；证实”；represent“代表”；accompany“伴随”。故选D。
54. A 考查名词辨析。根据下文中的“problems”可推知，这里是表示：无论意大利的生活有什么“缺点”，一旦你与朋友和家人坐下来吃顿大餐，这些问题就会被“遗忘”。disadvantage“缺点；不利因素；不便之处”；meaning“意义”；surprise“惊喜”；opportunity“机会”。故选A。
55. B 考查动词辨析。解析见上题。create“创造；创作”；forget“忘记”；understand“理解”；identify“识别；发现”。故选B。
第二节
本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国明代戏剧家汤显祖与英国剧作家莎士比亚之间的文化联系及其对文化交流的贡献。
56. who 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Tang Xianzu，指人，并在从句中作主语。故填who。
57. themes 考查名词的复数。根据空前的“there are”可知，空处应填theme的复数形式。故填themes。
58. were 考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知，空处作句子谓语，主语为“Some of the things”，是复数概念，且根据上下文语境可知，空处应用一般过去时。故填were。
59. to 考查介词。此处考查固定短语be similar to，表示“与……相似”。故填to。
60. inspired 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语，修饰名词pavilion，表示“受《牡丹亭》启发”，应用过去分词形式表示被动。过去分词短语“inspired by The Peony Pavilion”作“a six-meter-tall pavilion”的后置定语。故填inspired。
61. was built 考查主谓一致和语态。分析句子结构可知，主语为pavilion，是单数形式，空处作句子的谓语，pavilion与build之间为被动关系。这里描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。
62. visibility 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处作increased的宾语，且被形容词international修饰，应填visible的名词形式visibility，表示“知名度”。故填visibility。
63. to find 考查非谓语动词。此处考查be+adj.+to do结构。故填to find。
64. Recalling 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处作状语，Edmondson和recall之间为主动关系，应用其现在分词形式作状语。故填Recalling。空处位于句首，注意首字母须大写。
65. and 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，空处连接两个并列成分“hear the Chinese language”和“see how Tang’s play was being performed”。故填and。
第四部分 写作
第一节
参考范文：
Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday. I chose to paint a landscape featuring a calm lake surrounded by vibrant flowers and solemn trees. The sunlight and the gentle breeze made the whole scene come to life. It was incredibly inspiring to be surrounded by nature. I felt a sense of peace and relaxation while painting outdoors, which was a completely different experience from our traditional classroom setting. Overall, the exciting experience gave me a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it and hope we can have more classes like this in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. He looked at me in disbelief, asking me what to do. Giving him another apologetic smile, I asked him for a delay in payment and promised to call him and pay him back the money I owed him. To my surprise, Gunter wrote down his phone number without hesitation and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me. I gave him a firm handshake, jumped out of the car and made a mad dash for the bus and jumped onto it just before it left.
Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. We met at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. As soon as I saw him, I gave him a big hug. I told him that thanks to his kindness and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. I paid him for the ride, along with a generous tip, which he declined. I felt blessed to have met such a warm-hearted man. After that, we became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly.

Text 10
W: Good morning, everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of Richard Rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in Britain.
Years ago, I was given the task of organizing a conference in the south of England. I chose a five star hotel owned by Rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she’d ever met Mr. Rochester. She said yes.
Shortly after Mr. Rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan, who was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for 30 minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel, talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, Mr. Rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that she had a little girl and what her name was.
Now, I don’t believe that Richard Rochester has that good a memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It’s time consuming, but it shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that’s one of the secrets of his success.
