Cai Lei, frmer vice-president f JD Grup, reveals hw amytrphic lateral sclersis (ALS) diagnsis (诊断) set him n the path t find a cure.
Brn t a farmer’s family in 1978, Cai has been deeply influenced by his father’s idea that “ne has t fight fr himself”. Since primary schl, he has been getting up befre 5 am t run and study English. At 29, Cai became chief tax manager in Vanke C. In 2011, he jined JD Grup, where he led his team t develp the first electrnic invice (发票) in China. Wherever he wrked, he always tried his best t create new value.
Diagnsed with ALS in 2019, he wuld have nly tw t five years t live. ALS is usually caused by the gradual death f mtr neurns (神经元), which makes nrmally easy mvements like drinking water, eating, ging t the bathrm, and speaking impssible. Finally, patients will cmpletely rely n machines and thers’ help t survive. S far, nly tw medicines are available t treat ALS, but they can at mst extend patients’ life fr several mnths withut imprving their living quality.
T develp effective drugs is the nly way t save ALS patients. Hwever, the intense effrt required, which is unprfitable fr s rare an illness, makes it a missin almst impssible. It usually takes 10-15 years t cmplete the research cycle fr a new drug and the cst is $1-3billin. Take Alzheimer’s disease fr example. Between 2000 and 2017, investment in new drugs fr this mre cmmn disease was ver $600 billin, and 99.6% f the research n mre than 300 drugs failed.
Cai decided t take matters int his wn hands. He started his wn medical technlgy cmpany, built his wn research team, and vlunteered t try mre than 30 new medicines which all failed. Hwever, he has decided that even if all effrts prve fruitless, he will cntinue. T sht the last bullet, he has decided t dnate his brain and spinal crd fr scientific research. He will nt die fr nthing.
4. What kind f persn is Cai Lei?
A. Extremely ambitius and well-mannered.B. Quite reliable and clear-headed.
C. Highly mtivated and strng-willed.D. Well infrmed and warm-hearted.
5. What might happen t peple diagnsed with ALS?

B. Lsing the ability t think and speak nrmally.
C. Needing external assistance t survive in the end.
D. Dying within mnths f a cnfirmed diagnsis.
6. Why is Alzheimer’s disease mentined in paragraph 4?
A. T prve Alzheimer t be a cmmn disease.
B. T talk abut the severity f Alzheimer.
C. T ask fr mre investment in the research n ALS.
D. T explain the difficulty f finding a cure fr ALS.
7. What can be a suitable title fr the text?

A frm f gene therapy that is already being trialled in patients with Parkinsn’s disease might prvide a treatment fr severe alchl addictin.
Alchl misuse is the biggest risk factr fr death, disability and ill health amng peple aged 15 t 49 in the UK, respnsible fr 9,641 deaths during 2021. Like ther addictive substances, alchl triggers the release f a feel gd chemical in the brain called dpamine. Hwever, lng-term drinking decreases dpamine release, and peple wh are addicted t alchl dn’t tend t feel pleasure in drinking it any mre. “It seems that they’re drinking mre because they feel a need t maintain a drunk state,” said Prf Kathleen Grant at Oregn Health and Science University.
The idea f the gene therapy was t try t reset this dpamine reward pathway by enhancing the functin f brain cells that synthesize dpamine. Like humans, sme macaque mnkeys are mre likely t drink heavily than thers: if yu begin t ffer them the chice f 5% alchl alngside their regular fd and water, sme mnkeys will eventually almst always chse the alchl. Grant and her clleagues wndered whether resetting their dpamine reward pathways might cntain their desire t drink alchl. T d this, they used a harmless virus t deliver the gene fr a prtein called glial-derived neurtrphic factr (GDNF) t an area f the brain that is invlved in addictin and reward. “We targeted the cell bdies that prduce dpamine with this gene t increase dpamine synthesis, thus supplementing r restring what lng-term drinking has taken away,” Grant said.
The research, which was published in Nature Medicine, fund that the macaques permanently started verexpressing dpamine and decreased their alchl cnsumptin by up t 90%. “We are entering an era f gene therapy fr neurlgical disrders and perhaps mental disrders, and I think this study is very prmising in that directin.” Grant said.
She added that animal studies are needed befre the technique culd be tested n humans. Als, because the gene therapy prcedure invlves brain surgery, it wuld prbably nly ever be used in the mst severe cases f alchl addictin.
8. Why d severe alchl addicts drink mre?
A. Because they lng fr desired pleasure.
B. Because they have a frm f gene defect.
C. Because they want t escape frm reality.
D. Because they suffer frm deadly disability.
9. The underlined wrd “synthesize” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by ________.
A. Stimulate.B. Prduce.C. Charge.D. Delay.
10. What did Grant’s study fcus n?
A. The life habit f macaque mnkeys.
B. The way t cntrl alchl addictin.
C. The wrking mechanism f dpamine.
D. The functin f the prtein called GDNF.
11. What did Grant suggest abut the gene therapy?
A. Emply it t treat severe alchl addictin nly.
B. Replace it with mre efficient methds if necessary.
C. Cnfirm its effectiveness with mre tests n humans.
D. Put it int widespread use n ther cmmn species.

Nw, artificial intelligence (AI) is cming fr the mst attractive and exciting jbs. Stars may wrry that AI is stealing their wrk and giving less talented perfrmers the skills t take away their audience. In fact, the famus individuals cmplaining the mst ludly abut the new technlgy are the nes wh stand t benefit the mst. Far frm weakening star pwer, AI will make the biggest celebrities bigger than ever by allwing them t be in all markets, in all types f media, at all times.
This isn’t the first time that technlgy has changed the rules f the fame game. Peple started talking abut stars in the 18th century when the widespread access t reading materials made it pssible t be truly famus within yur lifetime. Film and radi riginally seemed like a threat t stars, wh wrried their live perfrmances wuld be devalued. In fact, thse technlgies started the era f the superstar, a term that caught n in the 1920s. A similar wrry greeted the inventin f televisin. But again, the new tech made the famus even mre s, bringing them int every living rm.
As AI-generated cntent flds int the entertainment business, artists and entertainment prfessinals are wrrying nce mre that their fame will be reduced — and again, the utcme is likely t be the ppsite. These pprtunities cme with cnditins attached. Artists are right t wrry abut , which must be prtected if AI is nt t becme a legalised frm f piracy. Until these cpyright cncerns are addressed, AI will be a legal Wild West.
The bigger questin is hw the age f the all-arund superstar will appeal t audiences. The risk is bredm. AI is brilliant at remixing and repeating ld material but less gd at creating exciting cntent that, fr nw, remains a human specialty.
Yet the entertainment market is highly self-crrecting. Audiences have the pwer t turn a ht hit int a has-been ne in an instant, as stars are all t aware. While AI-pwered entertainment grws, cnsumers still seem t enjy human drama. Sprt, perhaps the mst AI-prf, real-life event there is, has seen its value t media cmpanies rise in recent years.
12. What is the primary cncern f stars in paragraph 1?
A. The inability t master AI.B. The lw level f their acting skills.
C. The decline in their ppularity.D. The imprvement f audience’s taste.
13. Why des the authr mentin “film, radi and televisin”?
A. T shw the difficulties facing the stars then.
B. T prve the techn-panic is cmmn in histry.
C. T cnfirm AI will surely cme int every family.
D. T predict the trend f the technlgical develpment.
14. Hw can superstars attract audience accrding t the text?
A. By aviding the use f AI.B. By cperating with directrs.
C. By learning mre advanced technlgies.D. By imprving cntent creatin.
15. What is the text mainly abut?
A. The era f AI is arund the crner.
B. AI creates a brand-new entertainment industry.
C. AI makes stars wrried and audience demanding.
D. AI is mre f a helper than an imagined threat t stars.

Accept yu can nly chse tw r three and embrace that fact. ____20____ Yu’re getting mre ut f thse few than that “super-prductive” persn n scial media wh says they read five bks a week. After all, it’s better t have a little remembered than a lt frgtten.
A. Give yurself a time limit r restrictin if it helps.
B. Dn’t beat yurself up that yu’re being unprductive.
C. Every secnd, yu are presented with new infrmatin.
D. Breaking thrugh the nise bttleneck is a legendary idea.

Thanksgiving fr the Sul
Wrking as a primary teacher in Pmptn Lakes Primary Schl, New Jersey, I particularly believed in cultivating lve in children frm an early age. I wanted children t experience that it’s mre blessed t give than t receive. I wanted them t understand that lve f sciety and lve f life is nt just lip service; that peple smehw have t make it cme alive. I hped they culd experience a sense f their wn pwer t make a difference.
There was a rural area nearby where a lt f aged peple lived in slitude (孤独). They either had n family r their children had left t wrk in big cities. Mst f them lived n gvernment aid t keep bdy and sul tgether. An agency, which was in charge f the elder peple in this regin, had nce tld me abut a needy grandmther, Mrs. Wilsn, wh had lived alne fr many years. I had always desired t d smething fr her. S I came up with the Thanksgiving plan.
In Octber, I tld the eight-year-lds in my class abut my plan. “I’d like all f yu t d extra jbs arund the huse t earn sme mney,” I said. “Then we’ll buy fd fr a Thanksgiving dinner fr a needy grandma wh might nt have a nice dinner therwise.”
Early in Thanksgiving week, the bys and girls arrived in class clutching (紧握) their hard-earned mney. They had cleared rubbish, set tables, washed dishes, helped with yunger siblings. And nw they culdn’t wait t g shpping.
I watched while they ran up and dwn the supermarket aisles (货架通道). At last we headed tward the checkut, pushing a cart filled with turkey and all the trimmings (配料). Then smene sptted a “necessity”—flwers, which caught their attentin. All kids ran tward the hliday flwers, with ne prpsing, “Flwers! We can buy her a bunch f flwers!”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Flwers may nt be as practical as fd.” I said.
