Jenn Larson was just 14 years old when she took over the bookkeeping for her family’s dairy farm near Firth, Idaho. She soon saw firsthand how challenging it was for her parents, who lacked any college education, to properly manage the unpredictable earnings of farming. This started a lifelong passion for finance, and it led her down an unexpected path to becoming a role model she never had.
Yet, such ambitions ran in obvious contrast to everything familiar to her. “I didn’t have any advisors,” Larson says. “I didn’t have anyone to look up to for a professional example. All the women I associated with were stay-at-home moms.” Despite having parents who couldn’t fully understand her ambitions, Larson went to the BYU Marriott School, where she earned a business degree and focused much of her coursework on international finance.
Larson worked for seven years as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, advising clients on important financial decisions. Larson returned to BYU Marriott in 2008 to earn an MBA, and accepted a position in the school as an assistant professor following her graduation. For more than a decade, Larson has taught finance classes to undergraduate and MBA students.
While she teaches finance, Larson tries to help her students see how mastering finance principles can also impact their personal lives.
Constantly balancing motherhood and work, Larson makes adjustments to the way she teaches. She gave birth to her first three children in three years while teaching at BYU Marriott, wondering at times if labor might start while in front of a class full of students. During the pandemic, Larson taught online classes from her dining room table while taking care of a newborn and other young children at home.
As a female instructor in the often male-dominated finance industry, Larson works to inspire other women who seek a similar path to hers. Larson became the role model that she never had — the example that a 14-year-old girl staring at a farming expense sheet couldn’t find. Now, Labor on’s children and students will always have that example.
24.What motivated Larson to major in finance?
A．Her experience of managing accounts.
B．Her strong desire for college education.
C．The high expectations from her parents.
D．The challenging labor on her dairy farm.
25.What problem did Larson face when she decided to study finance?
A．She had no one to ask for advice.
B．She was unsure about the coursework.
C．She was misunderstood by her neighbours.
D．She was unfamiliar with everything at school.
26.What does the underlined word “labor” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．The work of looking after a baby.
B．The process of dealing with students.
C．The process of giving birth to a baby.
D．The work of adjusting teaching methods.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Following Your Interest B．Balancing Work and Family
C．Becoming Your Own Role Model D．Seeking a Way to Become a Role Model
C
Video games can spend hours intensely focused on leveling up — progressing to the next level of skill and challenge—in a virtual world, while their everyday troubles fade into the background. Called “flow”, this profoundly immersive state is familiar to artists, musicians and athletes, and has become a popular topic in the media. But video game scholar Braxton Soderman urges caution.
In his new book, Against Flow: Video Games and the Flowing Subject, Soderman aims to “create a little turbulence (湍流) in the smooth flow.” Among his criticisms of flow in relation to video gaming is that it can be used to manipulate (操纵) players for profit and socially isolate them.
“Developers of video games and apps design their technologies specifically in order to produce these intense states of concentration, to addict people to these kinds of experiences,” says Soderman. Money, of course, is the driving force behind most game design, not happiness.
Soderman has played video games almost his entire life, but as the father of two young children, he’s careful to limit the types of games and amount of time his kids spend on video games.
As with flow, Soderman worries that the concepts of play are already being manipulated by capitalism. Business owners, he says, arc being encouraged to use play and creativity to establish “playgrounds of profit” instead of creating more open, inclusive environments that actually make people happier.
“Play is an activity that is really about creativity, exploring possibilities, and freedom,” he says. “But it can be hijacked (操纵) and used in a wrong way”.
The concept of play, like flow, is one that Soderman will challenge us all to step back and think about critically. Because, as he shows in Against Flow, getting lost in a video game for a while can be fun, as long as you don’t end up swept away in a lonely current of someone else’ s profit.
28. What’s a key sign of video games being in a “flow” state?
A．Profound interest in arts and music.
B．Increased focus on everyday troubles.
C．Persistent engagement in online chatting.
D．Intense concentration on game progression.
29. What is the ultimate purpose of most game design?
A．To foster genuine happiness. B．To enhance social interactions.
C．To build up concentration skills. D．To profit from player involvement.
30. According to Soderman, what is a concern about “play”?
A．It’s subject to capitalist influence. B．It blocks creativity and possibilities.
C．It’s unfavorable for game development. D．It promotes addiction to virtual socializing.
31. What is the text most likely to be?
A．A review of recent video game research.
B．A report about game development practices.
C．An introduction to a newly published book.
D．An essay on the concepts of “flow” and “play”.
D
The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi,they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city’s streets.On June 2,2022,Cruise,a division of General Motors(GM),was approved to charge for rides in its （原文用autonomous）self-driving cars.
Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren't free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please.Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph.They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries or accidents.
Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a term of just 30 cars.The first robot taxis will be improved versions of GM’s Chevrolet Bolt.However,the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads.The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板)and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a sitting space,where passengers can face each other.
Cruise's ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward.However,the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe.Many remain concerned about safety.A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.
It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco.But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity,if not success.
32. What can we learn about Cruise's driverless ride services？
A．The services have turned out to be a great success.
B．The services receive great support from the public.
C．The services have run in some major cities of the USA.
D．The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.
33. What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3?
A．The features of Cruise Origin
B．The future of self-driving cars
C．The original plan of the company
D．The new version of Chevrolet Bolt
34.What is the author's attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxis?
A．Doubtful B．Opposed C．Favorable D．Unconcerned
35. What can be the best title of the text？
A．Cruise Offers Free Self-driving Ride Services
B．Self-driving Cars Are Coming to San Francisco
C．Self-driving Vehicles Are Popular in Major Cities
D．Companies Begin to Charge for Rides in Self-driving Cars

Within weeks of chatbots’ launch, ChatGPT triggered a new global race in artificial intelligence.The chatbots are part of a fresh wave of so-called generative AI—sophisticated systems that produce content from texts to images.However,one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change ( or lower ) our expectations.____36____
Don’t use chatbots for factual answers
Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect,but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time.____37____That average might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer , it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer .
____38____
When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet.You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before .
Do know what chatbots are best at
Chatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrencyn(加密电子货币)as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed archives from Reddit,including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.”____39____That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner.
Don’t get frustrated and give up
____40____The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further.
【The Washington Post ( September 9,2023)】 A . Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm.
B . Don’t ask a chatbot once and stop.
C . Similarly , there are loads of recipes on the internet.
D . ChatGPT is less like a Magic Ball and more like a brainstorming partner.
E. While chatbots are far from perfect and not great at everything, they are worth an investment of your time.
F. AI chatbots give you the average or typical response from information the software has absorbed from lots of websites.
G. ChatGPT can suggest loads of ideas. Somewhere in there might be a beginning of a good idea that you can run with.

Now I still have the____55____of that speech. My voice trembled a little, but____56____it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never____57____—I spoke in front of hundreds of people.____58____I didn't realize it at the time,the successful completion of that speech gave me the____59____to participate in class at college，to give oral reports，and to eventually break free of my____60____．

Jenn Larson was just 14 years old when she took over the bookkeeping for her family’s dairy farm near Firth, Idaho. She soon saw firsthand how challenging it was for her parents, who lacked any college education, to properly manage the unpredictable earnings of farming. This started a lifelong passion for finance, and it led her down an unexpected path to becoming a role model she never had.
Yet, such ambitions ran in obvious contrast to everything familiar to her. “I didn’t have any advisors,” Larson says. “I didn’t have anyone to look up to for a professional example. All the women I associated with were stay-at-home moms.” Despite having parents who couldn’t fully understand her ambitions, Larson went to the BYU Marriott School, where she earned a business degree and focused much of her coursework on international finance.
Larson worked for seven years as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual, advising clients on important financial decisions. Larson returned to BYU Marriott in 2008 to earn an MBA, and accepted a position in the school as an assistant professor following her graduation. For more than a decade, Larson has taught finance classes to undergraduate and MBA students.
While she teaches finance, Larson tries to help her students see how mastering finance principles can also impact their personal lives.
Constantly balancing motherhood and work, Larson makes adjustments to the way she teaches. She gave birth to her first three children in three years while teaching at BYU Marriott, wondering at times if labor might start while in front of a class full of students. During the pandemic, Larson taught online classes from her dining room table while taking care of a newborn and other young children at home.
As a female instructor in the often male-dominated finance industry, Larson works to inspire other women who seek a similar path to hers. Larson became the role model that she never had — the example that a 14-year-old girl staring at a farming expense sheet couldn’t find. Now, Labor on’s children and students will always have that example.
24.What motivated Larson to major in finance?
A．Her experience of managing accounts.
B．Her strong desire for college education.
C．The high expectations from her parents.
D．The challenging labor on her dairy farm.
25.What problem did Larson face when she decided to study finance?
A．She had no one to ask for advice.
B．She was unsure about the coursework.
C．She was misunderstood by her neighbours.
D．She was unfamiliar with everything at school.
26.What does the underlined word “labor” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．The work of looking after a baby.
B．The process of dealing with students.
C．The process of giving birth to a baby.
D．The work of adjusting teaching methods.
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Following Your Interest B．Balancing Work and Family
C．Becoming Your Own Role Model D．Seeking a Way to Become a Role Model
C
Video games can spend hours intensely focused on leveling up — progressing to the next level of skill and challenge—in a virtual world, while their everyday troubles fade into the background. Called “flow”, this profoundly immersive state is familiar to artists, musicians and athletes, and has become a popular topic in the media. But video game scholar Braxton Soderman urges caution.
In his new book, Against Flow: Video Games and the Flowing Subject, Soderman aims to “create a little turbulence (湍流) in the smooth flow.” Among his criticisms of flow in relation to video gaming is that it can be used to manipulate (操纵) players for profit and socially isolate them.
“Developers of video games and apps design their technologies specifically in order to produce these intense states of concentration, to addict people to these kinds of experiences,” says Soderman. Money, of course, is the driving force behind most game design, not happiness.
Soderman has played video games almost his entire life, but as the father of two young children, he’s careful to limit the types of games and amount of time his kids spend on video games.
As with flow, Soderman worries that the concepts of play are already being manipulated by capitalism. Business owners, he says, arc being encouraged to use play and creativity to establish “playgrounds of profit” instead of creating more open, inclusive environments that actually make people happier.
“Play is an activity that is really about creativity, exploring possibilities, and freedom,” he says. “But it can be hijacked (操纵) and used in a wrong way”.
The concept of play, like flow, is one that Soderman will challenge us all to step back and think about critically. Because, as he shows in Against Flow, getting lost in a video game for a while can be fun, as long as you don’t end up swept away in a lonely current of someone else’ s profit.
28. What’s a key sign of video games being in a “flow” state?
A．Profound interest in arts and music.
B．Increased focus on everyday troubles.
C．Persistent engagement in online chatting.
D．Intense concentration on game progression.
29. What is the ultimate purpose of most game design?
A．To foster genuine happiness. B．To enhance social interactions.
C．To build up concentration skills. D．To profit from player involvement.
30. According to Soderman, what is a concern about “play”?
A．It’s subject to capitalist influence. B．It blocks creativity and possibilities.
C．It’s unfavorable for game development. D．It promotes addiction to virtual socializing.
31. What is the text most likely to be?
A．A review of recent video game research.
B．A report about game development practices.
C．An introduction to a newly published book.
D．An essay on the concepts of “flow” and “play”.
D
The next time San Francisco residents stop a taxi,they may step into a car with no one behind the wheel. Driverless taxis are now allowed to come on the city’s streets.On June 2,2022,Cruise,a division of General Motors(GM),was approved to charge for rides in its （原文用autonomous）self-driving cars.
Though Cruise is regarding it as a big win, its self-driving cars aren't free to run on the streets of San Francisco as they please.Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The speed limit is 30 mph.They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries or accidents.
Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a term of just 30 cars.The first robot taxis will be improved versions of GM’s Chevrolet Bolt.However,the company is seeking approval to get its custom-built Cruise Origin on public roads.The driverless electric vehicle has no wheels or pedals(踏板)and can attain highway speeds. The car consists mostly of a sitting space,where passengers can face each other.
Cruise's ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward.However,the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe.Many remain concerned about safety.A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.
It remains to be seen how the new driverless taxi experiment will play out in San Francisco.But based on the vast number of companies that are racing to develop self-driving vehicles and the tens of thousands of people on waitlists for robotaxi rides, the Cruise pioneering program is at least set for popularity,if not success.
32. What can we learn about Cruise's driverless ride services？
A．The services have turned out to be a great success.
B．The services receive great support from the public.
C．The services have run in some major cities of the USA.
D．The services are limited to some regions of San Francisco.
33. What does the author describe in detail in paragraph 3?
A．The features of Cruise Origin
B．The future of self-driving cars
C．The original plan of the company
D．The new version of Chevrolet Bolt
34.What is the author's attitude of most Americans towards the self-driving taxis?
A．Doubtful B．Opposed C．Favorable D．Unconcerned
35. What can be the best title of the text？
A．Cruise Offers Free Self-driving Ride Services
B．Self-driving Cars Are Coming to San Francisco
C．Self-driving Vehicles Are Popular in Major Cities
D．Companies Begin to Charge for Rides in Self-driving Cars

Within weeks of chatbots’ launch, ChatGPT triggered a new global race in artificial intelligence.The chatbots are part of a fresh wave of so-called generative AI—sophisticated systems that produce content from texts to images.However,one key lesson concerning AI chatbots is to change ( or lower ) our expectations.____36____
Don’t use chatbots for factual answers
Google and Wikipedia aren’t perfect,but they’re good enough for reliable factual information most of the time.____37____That average might be correct or surprisingly wrong. And if the chatbot doesn’t know the answer , it might invent a reasonable-sounding answer .
____38____
When you are planning a birthday party, you can type into ChatGPT for help with the invitation. AI had sucked up a bunch of children’s party invitations from the internet.You can have a glimpse at what all those party-throwing parents had done before .
Do know what chatbots are best at
Chatbots can be amazing at explaining complicated topics like cryptocurrencyn(加密电子货币)as though you’re 5 years old. To understand this strength, it helps to know that the software has been fed archives from Reddit,including a forum called “Explain Like I’m Five.”____39____That makes ChatGPT good at personalized recipe planning. Again, you should treat ChatGPT less as a reliable cookbook and more as a meal-planning brainstorming partner.
Don’t get frustrated and give up
____40____The five minutes of travel planning with ChatGPT could have popped up some ideas for you to research further.
【The Washington Post ( September 9,2023)】 A . Do use chatbots to help you brainstorm.
B . Don’t ask a chatbot once and stop.
C . Similarly , there are loads of recipes on the internet.
D . ChatGPT is less like a Magic Ball and more like a brainstorming partner.
E. While chatbots are far from perfect and not great at everything, they are worth an investment of your time.
F. AI chatbots give you the average or typical response from information the software has absorbed from lots of websites.
G. ChatGPT can suggest loads of ideas. Somewhere in there might be a beginning of a good idea that you can run with.
