Going into my Ph. D. program, I knew I loved to communicate science to the public as much as I liked doing
science. But research soon consumed most of my time. Gradually, I felt I was losing touch with the bigger picture
of why science matters.
To escape, I spent a weekend with some friends. They were excited to share stories about the latest books
they’d consumed. But I couldn’t remember the last book I had read for fun. And I found myself mostly talking about
my research. As I struggled to convey its broader relevance, I noticed the enthusiasm in my voice disappeared.“ Is
my Ph. D. killing my love of science?” I thought. I knew I had been living in a scientific bubble(泡泡), but that
bubble seemed to grow smaller and smaller as the weekend progressed.
When I returned home. I resolved to read more for pleasure. I was recommended a science fiction book, so I
started with that. It was like nothing I had ever read before. I was really into it. I was blown away by the scientifically
reasonable technologies and scenes. It was refreshing to think about science in a new way.
I kept reading science fiction in the years after I finished my Ph. D. But I still hadn't gotten back to
communicating science to the public. Then, one night I found myself in a conversation with my new colleagues
about science fiction concepts. One invited me to speak at the pop culture lecture.
When the day came. I felt nervous until I saw the eager attendees. After I finished, I was surrounded with
enthusiastic audience. It suddenly occurred to me that this was my path back to science communication. Since then,
I've given more than 20 talks, exploring concepts like genetic engineering and brain- machine interfaces.
For young researchers. it's easy to slide into a scientific bubble. I'm glad science fiction gave me a way to
break out. It not only provided something fun to do in my spare time. It also helped me professionally, fueling my
ability to communicate the wonders of science to the public.
24. What did the author realize at that weekend?
A. He couldn't fit in a new environment. B. His memory was declining with time.
C. He lost passion for science communication. D. His knowledge was only a scientific bubble.
25. Why did the author like science fiction?
A. He wanted to find inspirations from it. B. He wanted to put his knowledge to use.
C. It could explain many physical phenomena. D. It offered him a new angle to look at science.
26. Which word can be used to describe the lecture?
A. Successful. B. Unique. C. Classic. D. Common.
27. What is the aim of this passage?
A. To introduce science fiction.
B. To prove how important science is.
C. To emphasize the author's love for science.
D. To show how science fiction helped the author.
C
ChatGPT and other language- based large language mobiles ( LLMs) exhibit human- level performance on
many natural- language tasks in English. The same is true of other widely used tongues. But Paiute is considered a“
no- resource language”, meaning there are no publicly available Paiute sentences translated into English on which
to train a machine learning model.
In a new paper, “ LLM- Assisted Rule- Based Machine Translation for Low/ No- Resource Languages”,
Colem an and his professor Krishnamachari propose a machine translation approach called LLM-RBMT( Rule-
Based Machine Translation ) to help people learn no- resource languages. Their approach consists of a more“ old
school” rule- based translator tools and a more advanced, natural language- based large language model.
In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Paiute. Instead, it helps to guide the rule- based
translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages. The translation tool
simplifies complex sentences and uses placeholders(占位符) for unknown words. While this process loses some
meaning, it still produces understandable and grammatically correct translations.
This method, said Coleman, mirrors how language learners naturally speak by mixing known and unknown
words, making it a practical tool for real- world use and the tool is smart enough to be able to do a lot of the
translation on its own.
Colem an also built some digital tools related to language revitalization(复兴), named Kubishi or“ brain” in
Paiute, including an online dictionary, and a sentence- builder and a translation system enabled by this research.
Overall, the paper found that LLM's remarkable general- purpose language skills make them a promising tool
in helping revitalize critically endangered languages like Paiute.
For his part, Colem an credits his tribe's(部落) members, past and present, for paving the path. “A lot of people
in my tribe have been working for a long time on different language revitalization efforts, including classes,
dictionaries and recordings, ” said Coleman.“ So though I am excited, I know it is one piece of a much larger
puzzle.”
Indeed, the paper points to many directions for future work, including adding more complex sentence
structures to test the limits of the method outlined in his paper.
28. What can we learn about LLM-RBMT?
A. It is a traditional way to learn languages.
B. It can translate Paiute into any other language.
C. It is useful for learners of no- resource languages.
D. It can simplify the process of learning English.
29. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3?
A. The principle of the LLM. B. The advantages of the LLM.
C. The grammar and vocabulary of Paiute. D. The efficiency of the translation tool.
30. What contribution did Coleman make?
A. He popularized Paiute all over the world.
B. He helped to save endangered languages.
C. He recorded and preserved his tribe's history.
D. He invented a smart language learning machine.
31. What can we infer about Coleman from paragraph 7?
A. His tribe gave birth to many scientists.
B. He was very grateful to his tribe's members.
C. He would publicize something more puzzling.
D. His tribe's members got involved in his work directly.
D
Plants are known to respond to seasonal changes by budding(发芽), leafing, and flowering. As climate change
stands to shift these so- called phenological ( 物 候 的 ) stages in the life cycle of plants, access to data about
phenological changes— from many different locations and in different plants— can be used to draw conclusions
about the actual consequences of climate change.
However, conducting such analyses require a large amount of data and data collection of this scale would be
unthinkable without the help of citizen scientists.
“ Mobile apps like Flora Incognita could help solve this issue. The app allows users to identify unknown wild
plants within a matter of seconds. When I take a picture of a plant with the app, the observation is recorded with the
exact location as well as a time stamp,” says the first author Karin Mora, research fellow at Leipzig University.
Although satellite data also records the phenology of entire ecosystems from above, they do not provide
information about the processes taking place on the ground.
The researchers developed an algorithm(算法) that draws on almost 10 million observations of nearly 3,000
plants species identified in Germany by users of Flora Incognita. The data show that each individual plant has its
own cycle as to when it begins a flowering or growth phase. Furthermore, the scientists were able to show that
group behaviour arises from the behaviour of individuals. From this, they were able to conclude ecological patterns
and investigate how these change with the seasons. For example, ecosystems by rivers differ from those in the
mountains, where phenological events start later.
It is known that climate change is causing seasonal shifts— for example, spring is arriving earlier and earlier.
How this affects the relationship between plants and pollinating insects and therefore potentially also food security
is still being subject to further research. The new algorithm can now be used to better analyse the effects of these
changes on the plant world.
32. What is the significance of data about phenological changes?
A. It can serve as the indicator of weather.
B. It can help people to select the best seeds.
C. It can show the actual effects of climate change.
D. It can be used to change the life cycle of plants.
33. What does the underlined part“ this issue” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Collecting data. B. Sorting out species.
C. Identifying plants. D. Checking climate change.
34. What conclusion did researchers draw using the new algorithm?
A. Spring is becoming longer and longer.
B. All plants have their own growth cycle.
C. Group behaviour affects individual behaviour.
D. Ecological patterns in different areas are similar.
35. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How citizen scientists use mobile apps to collect data.
B. How climate change is affecting the growth of plants.
C. How a plant app helps identify the impact of climate change.
D. How Flora Incognita allows users to identify unknown wild plants.

I`m an Indonesian student and finished my Master's degree in Sweden. 36 Here are my top four things that
I've learned from my experience.
I understand my home country better. Being a local in my home country for almost a lifetime got me thinking
that the grass was always greener in other countries. 37 And my country has different positive angles that I've
learned to see and be proud of.
I get much deeper understanding of other cultures’ perspectives. Studying abroad has changed my perspective
and made me shift my beliefs. I've learned the issue of privacy. I used to see that the internet is the place where we
should talk about our activities and share many parts of ourselves to the world. I used to take everyone's pictures
and share them online. 38
I see travelling in a new way. What is travelling all about? Why do we need travelling? 39 I learned that by
being a tourist. understanding local perspectives and needs is important. And most importantly, I found that you can
find a whole new way of life when you really take time to understand the country you' re in.
40 When you study abroad, the first thing you might notice are the many differences between people. But
you also see that all of these differences are also universal— people in many ways are the same everywhere.
Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to really understand people from different culture backgrounds. And
when you make friends, you learn to accept their perfections alongside their shortcomings.
A. I learn to accept people's differences.
B. What should you take while you are travelling?
C. Learning in a foreign country taught me lots of things.
D. I like to make friends from different culture backgrounds.
E. Yet being abroad has given me the chance to see that no country is perfect.
F. By trying answering these questions, I started to understand travelling differently.
G. Now I secure my data, respect people's privacy, and even remind others to do so.

Go is the oldest surviving board game, which has a history nearly as complex as the game 56 ( it). The
earliest surviving reference to the game of Go, then known as Yi, is from the historical book Zuo Zhuan, 57 (
write) in the 4th century BCE. Yet it is thought that the game 58 ( date) back far earlier than that.
Whatever its origins, Go had gained widespread 59 ( popular) by the time of Confucius and Mencius, who
both wrote about the game. It came to be associated with the scholarly classes, which 60 ( consider) one of the
four cultivated arts, along with calligraphy, painting, and playing the gu qin at that time.
The game, 61 objective is to encircle the opponent's stones and surround the larger area on the board, is
played today on a 1919 grid(网格), and the earliest grid of such specifications can date back 62 the Sui dynasty.
Still. it wasn't until Go was introduced to Korea and Japan 63 its rules and shape became standardized.
It is from Japan that the game spread to the rest of the world. Despite its long history in East Asia, Go didn’t
catch on in the west until German engineer Oscar Korschelt published a 64 ( detail) article on it in 1880, after
having spent eight years 65 ( work) in Japan.

My brother and I set off shortly after sunrise. The air was cool, but I knew that wouldn't last long. I'd chosen
this hike for a hot day like today so that we'd climb down into a redrock canyon(峡谷), where we would swim in a
pool and camp by a picturesque waterfall. I knew it wouldn't be an easy hike. though. I'd researched and planned
for weeks, knowing climbing down into the canyon is challenging.
About a mile in, the trail started to dip down to the river and the footing became steep(陡峭的). After repeated
slips on the loose ground. my brother decided to turn back to the car. Unwilling to give up on my plan so soon and
remembering there was another car where we parked. I believed there was someone else going to the canyon. So I
chose to continue alone. He gave me the bag which contained food and water. Then we decided to meet up at the
car the next day.
After another mile or so. the river came into view below me, but the trail became less obvious. I chose to go
down along a bush- covered slope(斜坡). As soon as I began hiking down, though, I realized the ground was much
looser than I'd thought. I decided to climb back up and find another way.
I tried to pull myself up, but, unfortunately, the rock I was standing on broke beneath me. My face struck earth
first. I was rolling with my bag, dirt and red sandstone flying beneath me as I picked up speed. I was going to die, I
thought.
Then I fell flat on my back. my head hitting on a baseball- size stone. To my surprise, I was alive, but
everything hurt. After lying in confusion for a few moments, I tried to look around. One of my eyes was already
swollen shut, and through the other, the world spun around me. I could hardly move my left hand, and my right
ankle hurt terribly.
