I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003. I’d never set foot in a comedy club before. I’ve always been a performer — I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician — but all that came to an end after 9/11. I live in New York, and we watched the twin towers fall from my apartment building. For a year afterwards, nobody wanted to go out or be entertained.
It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little training, I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It’s hard enough to break through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. They were clearly surprised to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There was silence. But by the time I got to the third line, people were properly laughing, and I was addicted.
Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100. Even today, I’m nervous before I step out. My first line is, “Hello, everybody. I’m 88 and three-quarters years old. I’m telling you that in case I don’t make it all the way through the show.” Then people laugh and I relax.
After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what an inspiration I am. They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an older person, you don’t need to take a back seat in life.
I’ve no intention of stopping comedy. I’m taking all these pills, trying to stay alive, and I hope to still be performing when I’m 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It’s hard work, but it stops me being bored. I’d only be playing golf otherwise.
24. Why did the writer take up comedy
A. She wanted to work out a routine.
B. She wanted to overcome her fears.
C. She wanted to brighten others’ lives.
D. She was unwilling to quit performing.
25. Why does the writer mention the typical New York comedians in Paragraph 3
A. To explain her attraction to the job.
B. To illustrate her special advantage.
C. To show the challenge she was facing.
D. To describe her new friends in comedy.
26. How does the writer relax before performances on the stage
A. She gets familiar with her lines.
B. She remains on the stage for a longer time.
C. She takes a deep breath before performances.
D. She makes a joke of her age to make people laugh.
27. Which is the best title for this passage
A. Age Is Just a Number
B. Time Heals All Wounds
C. Comedy Makes People Laugh
D. Perseverance Contributes to Success
C
Located in Yixian county, Anhui province, Xidi and Hongcun have a long history of more than 900years. The original residential styles and features of the Ming and Qing dynasties were preserved perfectly here, so they are reputed as “living ancient residential museums”.
Xidi Village, built during the Northern Song dynasty, is one of the most representative scenic spots of ancient Hui architecture. It was originally a community of the families with the surname Hu, and now has 124 old residential houses and three ancestral temples of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wooden architectures in Xidi are unique and elegant: Prettified walls prevent rain infiltration; black tiles record the history of the town. The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and two streams run through the village. The plane (平面) of the village agrees with the mountain shape and follows the terrain (地形)，presenting a boat-like shape, which caters to the intention of the Hu family to engage in business trips and set sail on long voyages.
Hongcun Village, 15 km from Xidi and built in the Southern Song dynasty, shares some features with Xidi but stands out for its water system. Ancient villagers were creative, shaping the village like a buffalo and building a bionic-based (仿生的) artificial water system. The water system is designed like a buffalo’s body. Small channels carry water to each household, then it flows into a pond for filtering, circles in the village, enters a lake for further filtering, and finally goes into a river. This design precipitates (使沉淀) and filters wastewater, and the purified water can be recycled for irrigation and washing.
During its long-term development, Hongcun has formed its cultural inheritance — a set of water usage and protection rules and customs that are commonly observed by the villagers. This ensures the long-term and stable operation of the wastewater treatment system.
The ancient villages of Xidi and Hongcun remain deeply meaningful to locals who value their cultural roots. Today, the two villages welcome visitors from around the world to admire their beauty. Walking through stone paths beside lotus ponds, people don’t just see UNESCO World Heritage sites — they appreciate the great wonder created by people and nature working together.
28. What can we learn about Xidi Village from Paragraph 2
A. It is famous for wooden temples.
B. It was built like a boat for business trips.
C. It is surrounded by streams and mountains.
D. It was designed based on the natural conditions.
29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the water system
A. Its protection.
B. Its location.
C. Its working principle.
D. Its historical importance.
30. What does the underlined word “This” refer to
A. The long-term development. B. Cultural inheritance.
C. Water usage and protection. D. The villagers’ observation.
31. What is the writing purpose of the passage
A. To describe the beauty of Hui architecture.
B. To explain how people live in harmony with nature.
C. To attract tourists to visit cultural heritage sites.
D. To praise the creativity of people in Xidi and Hongcun.
D
Researchers at UC San Francisco have developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows a paralyzed (瘫痪的) man to control a robotic arm using his thoughts. The device, which translates brain signals into computer commands, enabled the participant to grasp, move, and drop objects simply by imagining the actions. Remarkably, the BCI functioned for a record seven months without requiring adjustments, a significant improvement over previous systems that lasted only a day or two.
The breakthrough relies on an AI model that adapts to subtle changes in brain activity as a person repeatedly imagines performing a movement. This adaptability allows the system to better its performance over time. “This blending of learning between humans and AI is the next stage for brain-computer interfaces,” said Dr. Karunesh Ganguly, a neurologist at UCSF. “It’s what we need to achieve sophisticated, lifelike function.”
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Cell, focused on understanding how brain activity patterns shift over time. Ganguly and his team discovered that while the brain’s representations of movements remain consistent, their locations change slightly from day to day. By programming the AI to account for these shifts, the BCI maintained its functionality for months.
The participant, who was paralyzed by a stroke, had tiny sensors implanted on his brain to detect activity when he imagined moving. Over two weeks, the team trained the AI by having him imagine simple movements, such as moving his fingers or hands. Initially, the robotic arm’s movements were imprecise, but after practicing with a virtual arm that provided feedback, the participant improved his control. Once he transitioned to the real robotic arm, he quickly mastered tasks like picking up blocks, opening cupboards, and holding a cup to a water machine. Even months later, he could control the arm after a brief “tune-up” to adjust for changes in his brain activity.
Ganguly is now improving the AI to make the robotic arm faster and smoother, with plans to test the BCI in home settings. For individuals with paralysis, this technology could be life-changing, enabling them to perform everyday tasks independently. “I’m very confident that we’ve learned how to build the system now, and that we can make this work,” Ganguly said.
32. How does the paralyzed man control a robotic arm through the BCI
A. By using his thoughts.
B. By adjusting the device.
C. By translating brain signals.
D. By improving the present system.
33. Which of the following is a feature of the AI model
A. It requires no training to work effectively.
B. It can shift over time to maintain its function.
C. It needs repeated imaginations to perform a movement.
D. It can adjust to subtle changes in brain activity to improve movements.
34. What helped improve the participant’s controlling over the robotic arm
A. The virtual arm offering feedback.
B. The connection to the real robotic arm.
C. The tiny sensors implanted in his brain.
D The simple movements imagined by him.
35. What does Dr. Ganguly think of the future of the BCI technology
A. Changeable. B. Uncertain.
C. Promising. D. Limited.

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。
The city was vast and unfamiliar, its towering buildings casting long shadows that seemed to swallow her whole. Emma stood at the corner of a bustling street, holding a heavy suitcase in her hands. She had dreamed of this moment-starting fresh, building a new life — but now, surrounded by strangers and endless concrete, she felt small and utterly alone.
Her first week was a blur of missteps. The job she had lined up fell through when the company decided to hire someone with more experience. Her savings were decreasing faster than she had expected, and the rent was due in a week. Everywhere she turned, it felt like the city was pushing her away, as if it didn’t have room for one more dreamer.
One rainy evening, when Emma boarded the train from another unsuccessful job interview, she noticed an elderly man sitting across from her. He was dressed in a worn but neatly pressed suit, and his hands rested on a leather briefcase that looked as old as he was. What caught Emma’s attention, however, was the book he was reading — The Great Gatsby, her favorite novel.
Emma hesitated for a moment before striking up a conversation. “That’s a wonderful book,” she said, smiling. The man looked up, his eyes bright with surprise and curiosity. “You’ve read it ” he asked, his voice warm but tinged with a hint of nostalgia. As they began to talk, he put the book into his briefcase and introduced himself as Mr. Bennett, and he had been a literature professor before retiring. He spoke of his travels, his students, and the books that had shaped his life. And Emma also shared her hopeless situation. Listening attentively for a while, Mr Bennett pulled out a pen and a cream-colored card with his wrinkled hands, and quickly wrote something down.
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。
As the train approached Emma’s stop, Mr. Bennett reached into his briefcase.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That evening, as Emma opened the book, a cream-colored card dropped out of it.

66.【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m sorry to hear that your grades have dropped since joining the sports club. It’s understandable because balancing sports and studies can be challenging. Perhaps you’re spending too much time practicing, which leaves less time for homework and review.
To improve, you could create a schedule that allocates specific time for both activities. Additionally, consider seeking help from teachers if you’re struggling with certain subjects, as they can provide guidance to catch up. Remember, with proper planning, you can excel in both areas.
I hope these ideas will help you.
Best regards,

67.【答案】As the train approached Emma’s stop, Mr.Bennett reached into his briefcase. He pulled out the book The Great Gatsby he had been reading, and handed it to Emma with a warm smile. “It has been a companion to me through many years, and I hope it will be to you as well,” said Mr. Bennett.Emma was taken aback by the unexpected gesture, feeling a wave of gratitude washing over her. She accepted the book, promising to read it with the same care and attention that Mr.Bennett had shown her.
That evening, as Emma opened the book, a cream-colored card dropped out of it. She picked it up and read the elegant script: “To Emma, may your journey in the city be as enlightening as the stories you read. Keep dreaming and never lose sight of what truly matters. Sincerely, Mr.Bennett.” The card was a testament to the kindness of strangers and the unexpected connections one can make in a bustling city. Emma felt a renewed sense of hope and determination, inspired by the generosity of a man she had only just met.
