Getting lder ften invlves a series f challenges, such as cgnitive (认知的) decline, late-life depressin and scial islatin. In a sciety that is aging fast, it has becme imprtant t find ways t prmte successful aging t prevent and limit cgnitive and emtinal disrders. Music is a prmising tl fr imprving cgnitin and prmting well-being.
Cgnitive reserve (储备) is the mind’s pwer t stp age-related brain damage. Research has shwn that stimulating (令人兴奋的) life experiences are linked with higher pwer t prevent age-related brain diseases. Music is knwn t be cgnitively stimulating and it culd cntribute t building such reserve thrughut the life curse. Music makes unique demands n ur nervus system, like cgnitive cntrl. Fr example, lifelng musical expert knwledge and skills seem t reduce cgnitive decline. Hwever, it is nt necessary t be a prfessinal musician t benefit frm musical training. Research shws that even shrt-term musical training strengthens cgnitin in the elderly.
The brain is built t change ver ur lifetime, which can be shaped by experience. Imprtantly, this happens ver time and in respnse t a specific new skill. Research studies have identified structural and functinal differences between the brains f musicians and nn-musicians, especially in regins related t mtr cntrl and auditry prcessing. Evidence shws that even shrt-term musical interventins (干预) can prmte brain plasticity and increase grey matter vlume. Even passive music listening can result in imprved cgnitive abilities.
Music can pen frgtten drs t ur memries — such as weddings, schl dances, and parties — with little cgnitive effrt. Music helps t recall all the memries that yu have cnnected with a sng. The “reminiscence bump” is used t describe enhanced memry fr events that ccur during adlescence (青春期) and early adulthd that are ften sharp. A sng becmes a sundtrack fr a particular time, such as during a summer hanging ut with a specific grup f friends.
Music has a great pwer t bring strng emtins and intense pleasure int yur mind, thus changing md. Music can be used as an aid fr escaping frm everyday life thrugh imaginatin f yur wn memries. Mrever, musical activities ften invlve scial functins prmting scial cntact, cperatin, and a sense f belnging with thers.
In sum, music is a pwerful tl t fight against aging-related emtinal and cgnitive disrders. Music is als cnsidered as a scial activity, accessible t anyne regardless f backgrund. S, this interventin shuld becme a majr plicy pririty fr health y aging.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了音乐如何成为一种有效的工具，用于预防和减缓与衰老相关的认知和情感障碍。文章指出，音乐具有刺激认知、促进情感健康、增强社交联系的作用。同时，它强调了音乐对大脑塑造和促进脑可塑性的重要性，无论是长期的音乐训练还是短期的干预都可以带来益处。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Cgnitive reserve (储备) is the mind’s pwer t stp age-related brain damage. Research has shwn that stimulating (令人兴奋的) life experiences are linked with higher pwer t prevent age-related brain diseases. Music is knwn t be cgnitively stimulating and it culd cntribute t building such reserve thrughut the life curse. Music makes unique demands n ur nervus system, like cgnitive cntrl. Fr example, lifelng musical expert knwledge and skills seem t reduce cgnitive decline. Hwever, it is nt necessary t be a prfessinal musician t benefit frm musical training. Research shws that even shrt-term musical training strengthens cgnitin in the elderly.(认知储备是大脑阻止与年龄相关的脑损伤的能力。研究表明，刺激的生活经历与预防与年龄有关的脑部疾病的能力有关。众所周知，音乐具有认知刺激作用，有助于在整个生命过程中建立这种储备。音乐对我们的神经系统提出了独特的要求，比如认知控制。例如，终身的音乐专业知识和技能似乎可以减少认知能力的下降。然而，从音乐训练中获益并不一定要成为一名专业音乐家。研究表明，即使是短期的音乐训练也能增强老年人的认知能力)”可知，第二段主要介绍了音乐具有认知刺激作用，终身的音乐专业知识和技能似乎可以减少认知能力的下降，即使是短期的音乐训练也能增强老年人的认知能力。所以本段主要告诉我们音乐对认知的好处。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。第四段中上文“Music can pen frgtten drs t ur memries — such as weddings, schl dances, and parties — with little cgnitive effrt. Music helps t recall all the memries that yu have cnnected with a sng.(几乎不需要认知上的努力，音乐就可以打开我们遗忘的记忆之门，比如婚礼、学校舞会和派对。音乐可以帮助你回忆起与一首歌有关的所有记忆)”提出“音乐可以很容易地帮助我们回忆起过往记忆”。而下文“The “reminiscence bump” is used t describe enhanced memry fr events that ccur during adlescence (青春期) and early adulthd that are ften sharp. A sng becmes a sundtrack fr a particular time, such as during a summer hanging ut with a specific grup f friends.(“回忆凸起”被用来描述对发生在青春期和成年早期的事件的记忆增强，这些事件通常是剧烈的。一首歌会成为某个特定时刻的配乐，比如在夏天和一群特定的朋友出去玩的时候)”提出“回忆凸起”这一概念来对其作出解释，说明音乐会成为某个特定时刻的配乐，有助于唤醒“回忆凸起”。所以作者在第四段中使用了“回忆凸起”来解释其观点。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Getting lder ften invlves a series f challenges, such as cgnitive (认知的) decline, late-life depressin and scial islatin. In a sciety that is aging fast, it has becme imprtant t find ways t prmte successful aging t prevent and limit cgnitive and emtinal disrders.(变老通常会带来一系列挑战，比如认知能力下降、晚年抑郁和社会孤立。在一个快速老龄化的社会中，找到促进成功老龄化以预防和限制认知和情感障碍的方法变得非常重要)”和最后一段中“In sum, music is a pwerful tl t fight against aging-related emtinal and cgnitive disrders. (总之，音乐是对抗与衰老相关的情绪和认知障碍的有力工具)”可推知，音乐可以用来对抗与衰老相关的情绪和限制情感障碍。故选C项。

Whenever anyne asks me what tech I’d like t see invented, I always say the universal translatr, which lets yu understand and speak any language.
Meta AI recently annunced the start f the universal speech translatr (UST) prject, which aims t create AI systems that enable real-time speech-t-speech translatin acrss all languages, even thse that are spken but nt cmmnly written. Meta says that tday’s AI translatin mdels are fcused n widely-used written languages, and that mre than 40% f primarily spken languages are nt cvered by such translatin technlgies.
Accrding t Meta, the mdel is the first AI-pwered speech translatin system fr the unwritten language Hkkien (闽南语), a Chinese language spken in sutheastern China. The system allws Hkkien speakers t hld cnversatins with English speakers, a significant step tward bringing peple tgether wherever they are lcated.
T build UST, Meta AI fcused n vercming three imprtant translatin system challenges. It addressed data scarcity by getting mre training data in mre languages and finding new ways t use the data it had fund. It slved the mdeling prblems that arise as mdels grw t serve many mre languages. And it sught new ways t imprve n its results.
Meta AI claims that the techniques it pineered with Hkkien can be extended t many ther unwritten languages—and eventually wrk in real time. Fr this purpse, Meta has released the Speech Matrix, a large cllectin f speech-t-speech translatins, which enables ther research teams t create translatin mdels fr ther languages.
Artificial (人工的) speech translatin culd play a significant rle in ur wrld. Fr interactins, it will enable peple frm arund the wrld t cmmunicate with each ther mre smthly, making the scial net mre intercnnected. Fr cntent, using artificial speech translatin allws yu t easily lcalize cntent.
Yashar Behzadi, CEO and funder f Synthesis AI, believes that technlgy needs t enable mre natural experiences if the digital wrld is t succeed. He says that ne f the current challenges fr UST mdels is the cmputatinally expensive training that’s needed because f the wide range and very slight differences in meaning r sund f languages. Als, t train strng AI mdels requires vast amunts f typical data. A significant bttleneck t building these AI mdels in the near future will be t ensure training data cllect the privacy in agreement with rules and law.

B. It attracts wider attentin t written languages in translatin.
C. It adds 40% f spken languages int translatin technlgy.
D. It enables real-time speech-t-speech translatin acrss all languages.
32. What des the wrd “scarcity” underlined in Paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A. Lack.B. Mistake.C. Recvery.D. Management.
33. What d we knw abut UST?

第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
In the 1950s and 1960s, peple were widely using chemicals in agriculture, which plluted the fd web and brke the eggs f Bald Eagles. Cncern fr the birds helped t pass the Endangered Species (物种) Act (ESA) n December 28,1973.
The ESA is nw 50 years ld. It is a vital part f prtectin effrts in America, but it cmes int play nly when a species is nearly gne. There is much we can d t prevent ur weak creatures frm needing the act in the first place.
Recent studies have shwn that the best way t prtect species is t prtect their habitats (栖息地), because it fllws a sund, nature-based lgic. Peple and prgress depend n nature fr large benefits. Cmpared t recvering a species, prtecting habitats wn’t need t decide which species is the mst serius case that shuld be treated first.
In January 2023, a bill named Recvering America’s Wildlife Act (RAWA)was passed, which wuld prvide significant funding fr prtectin f wildlife habitat that supprts species at risk. It basically mdernized the Pittman-Rbertsn Act in 1937, ne f the first species-prtectin acts in America. RAWA was ne f the mst imprtant acts in wildlife cnservatin in decades prviding $1.397 billin t fund lcal and state effrts nt nly t help recver endangered species but als prevent at-risk wildlife frm becming endangered. While this funding has wrked fr decades, the accelerating (加速) lss f bidiversity requires a new way and mre investment.
Prtecting habitat desn’t just prtect wildlife; it prtects humanity. If the desire t care fr ur wrld is nt enugh, it’s wise t remember that if yu destry yur hme, yu des try yur life.
40. What is the disadvantage f ESA?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
41. Why prtecting habitats is better than recvering a species?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶RAWA, a mdern versin f the Pittman-Rbertsn Act, mainly helps t save the species that are endangered.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
43. Apart frm prtecting habitats, what else can we d t prtect animals? (In abut 40 wrds)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. It cmes int play nly when a species is nearly gne.
41. Cmpared t recvering a species, prtecting habitats wn’t need t decide which species is the mst serius case that shuld be treated first.
42. RAWA, a mdern versin f the Pittman-Rbertsn Act, mainly helps t save the species that are endangered. Because RAWA nt nly helps recver endangered species but als prevents at-risk wildlife frm becming endangered.
43. We can als actively participate in plant affrestatin activities, which can prvide mre habitats fr animals, help absrb carbn dixide in the atmsphere and alleviate the impact f glbal warming n the living envirnment f animals.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了保护动物栖息地的重要性以及人类所做的努力。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The ESA is nw 50 years ld. It is a vital part f prtectin effrts in America, but it cmes int play nly when a species is nearly gne. (《濒危物种法》现已成立 50 周年。它是美国保护工作的重要组成部分，但只有当一个物种几乎灭绝时它才会发挥作用)”可知，《濒危物种法》的缺陷是只有当一个物种几乎灭绝时它才会发挥作用，故填It cmes int play nly when a species is nearly gne.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Cmpared t recvering a species, prtecting habitats wn’t need t decide which species is the mst serius case that shuld be treated first.(与恢复物种相比，保护栖息地不需要决定哪个物种是最严重的，应该是首先被治疗的情况)”可知，与恢复一个物种相比保护栖息地不需要决定哪种物种是最严重的，应该是首先被治疗的情况，故填Cmpared t recvering a species, prtecting habitats wn’t need t decide which species is the mst serius case that shuld be treated first.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“RAWA was ne f the mst imprtant acts in wildlife cnservatin in decades prviding $1.397 billin t fund lcal and state effrts nt nly t help recver endangered species but als prevent at-risk wildlife frm becming endangered. (RAWA是数十年来野生动物保护领域最重要行动之一，提供了 13.97 亿美元资助地方和州的努力，不仅帮助恢复濒危物种，而且防止有危险的野生动物变得濒临灭绝)”可知，该法案不仅帮助恢复濒危物种，而且防止有危险的野生动物变得濒临灭绝。所以“mainly helps t save the species that are endangered(主要帮助拯救濒临灭绝的物种)”表述是片面的，故填RAWA, a mdern versin f the Pittman-Rbertsn Act, mainly helps t save the species that are endangered. Because RAWA nt nly helps recver endangered species but als prevents at-risk wildlife frm becming endangered.
【43题详解】
开放试题，言之有理即可。题干问“除了保护栖息地，我们还能做些什么来保护动物呢”。对此问题回答可以是：我们还可以积极参与植物造林活动，为动物提供更多的栖息地，同时也有助于吸收大气中的二氧化碳，缓解全球变暖对动物生存环境的影响。故填We can als actively participate in plant affrestatin activities, which can prvide mre habitats fr animals, help absrb carbn dixide in the atmsphere and alleviate the impact f glbal warming n the living envirnment f animals.
