Shifting wmen’s styles
Trends cme and g as time flies. Yu may get sme clues abut the fashin f ancient times frm the vides prduced by Zhu Ruxuan, wh 21 (vte) as ne f Bilibili’s tp 100 cntent creatrs in 2023.
Brn in 1998, Zhu began sharing her life n Bilibili in 2019, 22 (nickname) “Dudu Hualin”, initially fcusing n vides that shw ppular makeup in China. In 2021, she gained widespread attentin, 23 at first her prductins didn’t grw in ppularity, thanks t a vide depicting the evlutin f the rdinary Chinese wman’s appearance and mindset. In the vide, she als imitated the facial expressins f wmen frm different time perids, capturing the uncertainty in the 1920s in China and their cnfidence 24 female wrkers in the 1950s.
Despite 25 (lack) frmal acting training, Zhu made full preparatins fr her vides. She studied wmen in ld phts and mvies 26 (imitate) their expressins, striving fr accuracy. Zhu has started paying mre attentin t current scial phenmena 27 (face) wmen since last year. At the end f a vide, fr instance, she depicted a character with pink hair wh suffered cyber bullying due t her hairstyle. Zhu made clear that “I want everyne t see nline vilence culd be fatal and 28 it was a necessary grwth bth fr myself and my creatin”.
Zhu’s recent vides demnstrate a mre cmpassinate apprach tward wmen in histrical perids. Fr instance, n Dec 13th, the annual Natinal Memrial Day fr Victims f the Nanjing Massacre, she released an anti-war vide, 29 the transfrmatin f an rdinary Chinese wman befre and after the Nanjing massacre was prtrayed. This vide, which tk tw mnths t create, drew inspiratin frm Iris Chang’s bk The Rape f Nanking, in which wmen cut their hair shrt during the war t cnceal 30 amng the refugees.

AI ges ancient t preserve thusand-year-ld Chinese pagda
In the heart f China’s Shanxi Prvince stands a remarkable testament t human ingenuity and resilience: the Yingxian Wden Pagda. Nearly a thusand years ld, this architectural marvel has 31 the ravages f time, surviving the chas f wars and the fury f natural disasters. Standing 67 meters high, the structure - als called the Sakyamuni Pagda f the Fgng Temple - 32 abve the surrunding landscape, multi-tiered wden rfs ffering a striking cntrast t the rlling hills and smaller buildings that dt the regin.
Even with its staggering resilience, the pagda is shwing its 33 age. Built in 1056 and recgnized by UNESCO as the wrld’s ldest and tallest entirely wden structure, the Yingxian pagda faces the inevitable effects f time: weathering, structural fatigue, and the 34 threat f wd decay. In fact, it is n lnger accessible t turists wh wuld therwise leap at the chance t step back in time.
Nw, the pagda’s unparalleled value t shared wrld heritage has inspired a revlutinary effrt t preserve it fr future generatins. Lenv, the glbal technlgy leader, will 35 this ancient treasure using grundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) technlgy. In cllabratin with Tsinghua University’s Schl f Architecture, Lenv launched the “Smart Yingxian Pagda” prject t create a 36 twin f the pagda that captures every exquisite detail f its architecture, frm intricate wd grains t subtle imperfectins in statues.
This AI-pwered replicatin is much mre than just a high-fidelity virtual mdel - the interactive, navigable experience demcratizes 37 t the pagda’s splendr, allwing peple frm arund the wrld t explre and study its ancient halls. Mrever, it accelerates nging restrative effrts and ensures they 38 adhere t the riginal style, preserving the pagda’s histrical integrity.
“AI fr cultural heritage is abut using 39 technlgy t reach back a thusand years t preserve these wnders fr the future,” said Shijie Ma, Lenv vice president and directr f research in Shanghai “We relentlessly pursue innvatin and transfrmatin, especially in the era f AI, but always with an eye n ur cmmunities and human experiences. This 40 embdies ur cmmitment t smarter AI fr all.”
Lking ahead, Lenv is explring invlvement in similar heritage preservatin prjects glbally, welcming mre pprtunities fr cllabratin.
III.Reading Cmprehensin (共45分。 41-55每题1分；56-70每题2分)
Sectin A
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext
As children, ur primary surce f supprt cmes frm ur parents. But as we get lder, we start t spend significantly mre time with 41 , says Kaitlin Flannery, an assciate prfessr in psychlgy at State University f New Yrk Cllege, Crtland. “There’s a different 42 that we have with friends; they help us shape ur identity thrughut ur life.”
Flannery pints ut that in its initial stages, friendship is built n similarity. “We’ re scial creatures. We want 43 ,” says Flannery. “We want apprval frm nt nly ur family, but ur same-agers. And s that’s where friendships start t really becme these essential 44 f scial supprt, but als fun and cmpaninship.”
Much f the research n friendship disslutin has fcused n children and adlescents, an age when it is quite cmmn fr friendships t 45 . In Flannery’s research, lking at a sample f 354 middle schl students, 86% said they had a friendship end recently. Mst put it dwn t cnflict r a betrayal f trust. Anther predictr was the lack f supprt frm friends, r that they felt they weren’t getting what was needed frm their friends — 46 , cmpaninship, r n lnger having fun tgether. The ending f friendships reprtedly stirred 47 emtins fr the middle schlers, including sadness, but als happiness and relief, depending n why the disslutin happened, hw it ended, and wh initiated it.
In sme cases, friendships are simply 48 frm “best” friend status t “gd” friends. Anther year-lng study f friendship in seventh graders saw that’ nly abut half f “best friendships” remained 29 thrughut the schl year. Older adlescents’ friendships are mderately mre cnsistent ver the curse ver the schl year, the research suggests.
Such high schl friendships may 50 as friends mve apart fr university and cllege. This may partly be caused by the physical 51 that is intrduced between friends. But, as yung adults navigate increasingly cmplex scial netwrks, as well as their wn and thers’ expectatins, friendships can als becme less cnsistent.
As in the previus life stages, friendship disslvement is als an pprtunity fr yung adults t practice getting alng with thers. One study fund that peple with a “ 52 ” mindset abut relatinships — meaning, the belief that relatinships require effrt and can grw and develp — were mre willing t maintain and wrk n their friendships. Others may feel that as their interests change, it is mre rewarding t spend time with 53 friends.
But strng friendships can survive and 54 t such life changes, research shws. “Whenever I lk at friendship disslutin, my takeaway is there are certain aspects f life that can disrupt friendships, but there are als just as many examples f friendships that have been able t 55 these life changes and grw clser,” says Flannery.

Sectin B
Directins: Read the fllwing three passages. Each passage is fllwed by several questins r unfinished statements. Fr each f them there are fur chices marked A, B, C and D. Chse the ne that fits best accrding t the infrmatin given in the passage yu have just read.
(A)
It’s nrmal fr yung children t cheat when they’re playing bard games. As they grw lder, they realize that the fun is actually in taking part in the game, nt necessarily in winning it. By the time they reach their teens, they have usually learned nt t cheat. Sadly, this was nt the case fr a player in a natinal bard game champinship held annually in the US. The player wanted t win s much that he turned t cheating.
The bard game was Scrabble. In the game, players have t make wrds frm individual letters n small squares called “tiles,” and then put the wrds n a bard. Tw f the mst useful tiles in the game are the blanks, which are tiles withut any letters n them. A blank isn’t wrth any pints, but a player can use it t replace any letter f the alphabet.
The cheater in this particular cmpetitin was a 15-year-ld by frm Orland, Flrida. He had surprised rganizers in the early stages f the cmpetitin by beating sme f the best players, despite the fact that he had never played in cmpetitins befre. This made sme f the ther players suspicius, including the man wh caught him, 43-year-ld Arthur Mre. Mre had already played the by the day befre, and Mre had wn the game, althugh the by had had bth f the blank tiles. In Scrabble, befre a new game starts, the players put the tiles frm the previus game back int a small bag. This time, Mre had a gd lk at the tiles n the table befre he and his ppnent put them in the bag t start the game. He was nt surprised t see that the tw blanks were tgether n the table in frnt f the by. As the tw players were putting the tiles int the bag. Mre watched the by’s left hand. He saw the by pick up the tw blanks, and put his hand under the table. This was the signal fr Mre t call ne f the rganizers and accuse the by f cheating.
When the by was taken away fr questining, he admitted t taking the tw blanks during the game and hiding them under the table. As a result f his cheating, the cmpetitin directr disqualified him and banned him frm playing in the cmpetitin again.

The danger f a majr slar strm is nw at its highest in ver a decade As the Sun reaches the peak f its activity cycle, the dds f such a strm hitting Earth rise alng with its assciated risks, including blackuts, disabled satellites and damaged cell phnes and GPS netwrks. In the mst extreme scenaris, sme pwer grids culd be kncked ut fr weeks r even mnths.
But that is the wrst case. In the face f such ptential disaster, ur best hpe is t learn mre abut the Sun-Earth system, mnitr slar activity and develp ur ability t predict space weather. With the right precautins, slar activity culd be a net psitive fr humanity, as it cnstantly prtects us against harmful radiatin frm beynd the Slar System S whether we risk the dangers r reap the benefits f living with the Sun will cme dwn t the same thing: ur ability t predict and prepare fr what ur star is ging t d next.
The whle predictin prcess is like frecasting nrmal weather the mre yu understand the system, the better yu can predict what it will d. This is n easy task when it cmes t ur star. The Sun is cmplex and nt yet well understd, and scientists must als get a better handle n hw its emissins travel thrugh space and affect Earth. Cmpared t frecasting the nrmal weather, ur space weather predictins are abut 50 years behind
That’s why missins like the Parker Slar Prbe - the first spacecraft ever t tuch the Sun-are all the mre imprtant. Launched in 2018, Parker has already made several discveries abut hw the Sun transprts energy utward int space. The spacecraft’s data have helped scientists imprve their ability t predict exactly when an event at the Sun will later reach Earth. Establishing that timing is imprtant, because it’s an essential first step t an early warning system that wuld help avid the wrst-case scenari.
Yet ur current prjects are nt enugh. Parker is nt designed t act as a full-time warming system, and it can nly study the Sun frm ne angle at a time. S a cnstellatin f satellites arund the Sun are recmmended t cmpletely mnitr the Sun and always be ready t send warnings back t Earth.
63．Which f the fllwing is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd!
A．btainB．eliminateC．strengthenD．tlerate
64．Which f the fllwing is mentined in paragraph 2?
A．The slar system releases a lt f harmful radiatin t humanity.
B．Peple must learn mre t reverse the wrst result caused by the Sun.
C．Slar activities, if dealt with prperly, can be very beneficial t humanity.
D．The ptential disaster can be fully prevented if we make accurate predictin.
65．What is the main message cnveyed in the passage?
A．Imprving space weather predictins is crucial fr preparedness.
B．The Sun’s energy transprt mechanisms have been fully understd.
C．The frequency f slar strms has significantly increased ver the past decade.
D．A full-time warning system is the nly slutin t preventing slar strm impacts.
66．What will the fllwing paragraphs prbably talk abut?
A．The sunny sides f space weather and slar activities
B．The drawback f the current slar predictin prjects.
C．The ways t prtect the Earth frm ptential slar strms.
D．The measures t imprve and redesign the Parker Slar Prbe.

The Stanley Cup Craze
Fr Christmas, Sarah Andersn decided t buy herself ne f the mst ppular pieces f drinkware n the market: The 40-unce Stanley H2.0FlwState Tumbler. Tumblers, water bttles, beverage cntainers r whatever else peple want t call them have becme even mre ppular ver the last several years. 67 “A lt f us are int wellness, drinking yur vitamins, this and that.” said Melina Vega, a lifestyle, beauty and fashin cntent creatr. Plus, she said the influencers n TikTk, make these prducts ppular by simply talking abut them.
Cuntless cntent creatrs have been sharing “unbxing” vides and prduct reviews, gaining hundreds f thusands f likes. 68 In particular, Stanley Glbal President Terrence Reilly said, there was a 275% increase in Stanley H2.0 FlwState Tumbler sales last year.
Befre the recent craze, cheerleaders and scial media influencers didn’t always cme t mind when thinking f Stanley. Fr ver 100 years, Stanley has mstly marketed itself as a camping and utdrs brand. “ 69 ” Stanley Glbal President Terrence Reilly said. He described Stanley as an American legacy brand and pinted t the green Stanley therms as the tp chice fr cnstructin wrkers, teachers, nurses and thers. But the idea f adjusting the target custmers riginated with the three wmen behind the ppular e-cmmerce blg, The Buy Guide, wh began linking the Stanley n their website in 2017 after falling in lve with the prduct themselves. It sld ut quickly each time they shared it. “ 70 We wanted t stay green, male and ht but als becme mre clrful, female and cld.” Reilly said. He explained that while Stanley planned t still advertise t the utdrsman, it wuld als stylishly fcus n this missed audience f wmen n the g, wh need their cld drinks t last all day.
A．I think it speaks t the pwer f wmen selling t wmen.
B．What makes peple g wild fr these highly specific drink bttles?
C．Green, male and ht. That’s what Stanley has been, and we’re prud f that.
D．These likes have translated int significant sales gains, dubling the cmpany’s business tw years in a rw.
E．They have a phenmenal pulse n the cnversatins n scial media—what are peple talking abut?
F．Right nw, besides sme camping ckware, Stanley’s prducts are restricted t the beverage-and-cntainer space.

The psychlgy behind sprts fandm
We all knw there are sprts fans all arund the wrld. But what psychlgical prcesses drive them t supprt their favrite athletes r teams with such passin, even withut the pssibility f reward?
Psychlgists have lng been interested in this tpic. Their survey reveals that peple’s need fr a sense f belnging is met when cnnected t smething bigger than themselves. It taps int their need fr purpse. Withut this cnnectin, they may feel that what they d desn’t really matter. Sprts fandm tends t invlve a deep emtinal attachment, t. Fans may nt directly cntribute t the results f matches, but they feel each win and lss as their wn. As a result, they cntinue t put in their emtins, time, energy — and ften mney — t supprt their favrite stars r teams.
Sprts fans cnsider their devtin t be a rewarding investment. Fandm can serve as a frm f escape, allwing them t temprarily discnnect frm their daily stresses. It als raises self-esteem, as fans ften assciate themselves with successful teams and feel a sense f pride. In additin, being part f a sprts cmmunity can strengthen scial bnds. Fr example, fans tend t say “we,” “us” and “ur” t shw their attachment t their favrite team, especially when it perfrms well. This shared language fsters a sense f tgetherness and helps peple build friendships. This is mre imprtant than ever nwadays as ther bnds acrss sciety have weakened, such as music and pp culture.
Hwever, sprts fans shuld nt put t many eggs in the sprts basket. After all, being a fan is all abut chasing mments f pure jy that stay with yu fr a lng time, whereas the heavy emtinal investment can lead t feelings f anxiety r disappintment when a team r athlete perfrms badly. Fr sme peple, the attachment becmes s strng that it affects their nrmal lives. There have been extreme cases f peple skipping a child’s wedding fr a certain game!

Knw hw much t tipNew rules f gratuities
The pandemic has been particularly hard n peple wh wrk fr tips. Sme haven’t been able t d their jbs at all, while thers dn’t interact with custmers the same way. In either case, tips dried up, causing a lt f peple t suffer. Meanwhile, many custmers felt the need t tip mre because f the new risks and hardships that essential service wrkers suddenly faced.
Just as many services have changed, s shuld tipping. Sme ld standards n lnger seem fair, and several newer nes will apply lng after the pandemic is ver.
Sme new rules f tipping that are likely here t stay:
Give mre if yu can. It’s cmmn fr tips t be divided between all the wrkers at a stre r restaurant, nt just thse wh interact directly with custmers. S giving generusly ensures a fairer tip fr all.
Think utside the (cash) bx.
Yu can als “tip” with a thank-yu nte r a hmemade gift when a business (r yur budget) desn’t permit gratuities. Cnsider writing a review nline, making sure t name names.
Treat business wners differently. A practice f the past, tipping the bss separately is n lnger necessary. But if she serves yu, tip her as yu wuld any f her wrkers.
As fr specific situatins, here’s what the experts recmmend:
FOOD AND DRINKS
Restaurant wrkers
Old rule: Leave a tip nly when yu dine in.
New rule: Always tip, even fr takeut.
Tip: 15 t 20 percent when yu dine in, and 10 t 15 percent n takeut r delivery rders.
Persnal shppers
Old rule: N/A (Nt applicable). Many f these services, such as grcery pickup, are newer.
New rule: Tip, and d it in the app, since yu are unlikely t interact directly with yur shpper.
Tip: 10 t 15 percent. If a tip is already included, add a few dllars extra.
HOME DELIVERIES
Package delivery drivers
