The Fall f the Rman Empire
The Western Rman Empire is knwn as ne f the lngest lasting empires. Histrians believe that the empire cllapsed in 476 A.D., when its last ruler, Rmulus Augustulus, was 11.
The questin f why the Western Rman Empire ended has fascinated histrians fr generatins, 12 a debate
that is nwhere near reaching an agreement. In 1984, German histrian Alexander Demandt drew up a list f mre than tw hundred factrs that have been cited t explain Rme’s fall—a fall 13 blamed n internal crruptin (腐败).
Other schlars have pinted t mre specific reasns. Sme have fcused n the evlutin f the Rman ecnmy,
which struggled t expand by the third century A.D. because f 14 n enslaved ( 受奴役的) peple fr labr.
Onging military cnflicts and civil wars that brke ut frm the third century nward played a part t, weakening central authrity and causing the empire t break apart, leaving it mre 15 t external threats.
In recent years, hwever, a(n) 16 thery has emerged, highlighting the impact f climatic changes and disease utbreaks. In a wrk published in 2017, classics prfessr Kyle Harper argues that the rise and fall f Rme was shaped nt nly by emperrs, generals, sldiers and slaves, but als by viruses, vlcanes and slar cycles. It is a stry in which humanity and the envirnment cannt be 17 .
Harper and ther schlars have drawn n climate and widespread-disease data, which have pened up new 18
f research int the study f the past. The data suggest that the 19 cnditins f the empire in the first century B.C. favred agricultural, ecnmic, and ppulatin grwth. But they became mre variable with a trend tward cling and drught, which impacted agricultural prductivity. This crisis was cmpunded by anther 20 natural phenmenn:
epidemics (时疫). Frm the latter half f the secnd century nward, epidemics emerged that affected the whle Rman
Empire with unmatched intensity.
Reading Cmprehensin 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.
Wh, r what, d yu trust?
Every day, we turn t the internet t 21: shuld we stay at that htel, eat at this restaurant, ride with that driver? We have becme s used t the large-scale insights prvided by 22, many f us wuldn’t even buy a taster withut first checking reviews. Their accessibility and apparent authrity mean that simply picking an appliance at randm is almst 23—why wuldn’t yu ask Ggle first? And yet, when it cmes t many mre fundamental chices—like what we chse t study—we ften trust ur instincts. This, argues ecnmist Seth Davidwitz, is where we are ging wrng. 24, fllwing ur instincts can lead us t act n hidden prejudices r t keep fllwing dead-end paths.
In his new bk Dn’t Trust Yur Gut: Using data instead f instinct t make better chices, Seth Davidwitz brings tgether “credible answers t 25 questins” as revealed by vast nline data, s we can apply them in rder t be mre successful and happier. “While we ften think we knw hw t better urselves, the numbers, it turns ut, 26,” he writes.
Sme findings are indeed 27 , ging against cmmn belief—fr example, the verstated advantage f yuth in starting a business. Others, hwever, may be mre 28 expectatins: we ften verestimate the pleasure f passive activities such as snacking and watching TV. Research by the Lndn Schl f Ecnmics fund that even relaxing tends t make peple feel less 29 than anticipated. On the ther hand, we underestimate the 30 t ur md frm visiting museums r libraries.
Frm wrk t relatinships, Seth Davidwitz lks t the data fr 31 n key decisins and, where pssible, tries it ut fr himself. In his bk he writes that he used AI, market research and statistical analysis—putting mre than 100 edited images f himself int an nline survey—t find ut that peple generally prefer him with glasses and a beard. Thugh entertaining, his bk is mst 32 when it challenges ppular assumptins and demnstrates what wrks best fr mst peple, s that all f us might learn frm their example.
But his smewhat idealist view f data may create a 33 with a wrld already transfrmed by it. 34 may nt lie, as Seth Davidwitz writes—but nr d they reveal the cmplete, cmplex picture, especially when they are cntrlled by crprate interests. When ur 35 is already being shaped by data in ways f which we aren’t aware, perhaps success isn’t always a matter f making the right decisin.

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)
My uncle Gerge and I have always shared a special bnd. When I was arund 5 years ld, I asked my parents what was wrng with him. Anyway, they said nthing was ‘wrng’ with him exactly, but that Uncle Gerge was mentally disabled.
Abut nce an hur frm 7 a.m. t 7 p.m., he calls me 10 times a day, withut fail, 365 days a year. Thugh I lve him quite a bit, I answer maybe tw f thse phne calls a day.
Our phne calls always fllw the same structure, using ne f three fantasy realities frm Gerge’s imaginatin. In ne, he’s my dad and I’m his sn. In anther, he’s Majr Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B. J. Hunnicutt, reprting fr duty. In the last, we’re bth lifeguards, strategizing the rescue f a drwning persn.
When the phne rings, I always say “Hell?” as if I dn’t knw wh is calling.
“It’s yur dad, Gerge!” Or, “It’s Majr Winchester!” Or, “This is Twer 1. Twer 2, can yu read me?”
We g back and frth in character fr abut a minute and a half, nly breaking the bit t laugh. Then he’ll g quiet. “Yu knw smething, Tmmy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling t say yu’re the best guy I knw.”
“S are yu,” I reply. “The tw f us!”
This cnversatin has been repeated multiple times a day fr years nw. N matter what’s ging n in the wrld, the cnsistency f these calls is smething I can cunt n. At my mst stressed, angry and sad—during painful breakups and prfessinal setbacks—that phne call nevertheless rlls in, allwing me t escape reality fr a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again.
Because Gerge desn’t understand things at an adult level, it’s impssible fr him t truly cmprehend whether I’m having a gd r bad day. Instead, he’s able t bring me the same energy, the same lve and acceptance, n matter what. It’s an incredible gift. Because I knw that even at my wrst, when I feel like I’m drwning, I can cunt n Uncle Gerge, up there in Twer 1, t call dwn and tell me I’m the best guy he knws.
It’s an act f lve that saves me, just a little bit, every single day.
Which f the fllwing is true abut Uncle Gerge?
He calls n a regular basis every day.
He pretends t be different frm thers.
He is very sensitive t utside criticism.
He enjys playing tricks n his nephew.
What is cnsistent abut the phne cnversatins between the authr and Uncle Gerge?
The authr always begins with greeting his uncle by name.
They always end by saying kind wrds abut each ther.
They ften discuss real-wrld news and current events.
Uncle Gerge always pretends nt t knw the authr.
Why des the authr value the calls especially during difficult times?
He felt understd and cmfrted by his uncle.
Uncle Gerge can help slve his real-wrld prblems.
The calls allw him t take a shrt break frm reality.
It makes him very prud t be relied n by his family.
What message des the authr want t cnvey thrugh the passage?
Peple with disabilities can understand thers better than mst adults d.
Frequent phne calls are the best way t keep relatinships strng.
Rle-play helps strengthen family bnds acrss generatins.
A simple act f lve can prvide steady cmfrt in life.

(C)
New frms f credit are ften met with dubts. A century ag, furniture and car sellers realized they culd reach mre custmers if they accepted payments in instalments (分期付款). T critics this was a sign f mral decline. When in 1958 Bank f America started psting credit cards t custmers, it did nt take lng fr ppnents t wrry abut the
cnsequences.
Tday the reprachful frwns are aimed at “buy nw, pay later” (BNPL). This practice, which lets peple pay fr things they buy nline in instalments, is bming: ver $300bn in payments were financed in such a manner last year. Brrwers tend t be yunger and less credit-wrthy than average, which is causing cncern. Many critics wrry that the industry takes advantage f the yung, while analysts wrry that the hidden debt makes it hard t mnitr credit risks. Yet BNPL culd be a valuable innvatin.
New financial prducts ften cause wrry because they draw in custmers with little experience f credit, but reaching new custmers is generally a gd thing. Mdern finance is nt perfect; the pr and the yung are underserved,
partly because they ften have n credit histry. It is nly reasnable fr upstarts t fill a gap in the market, and if they prvide a useful service, they can grw rapidly. After an initial wave f fraud ( 欺诈), Bank f America’s credit-card business eventually revlutinized the way peple pay. Tday, it is mre widely recgnized by the name it adpted when
it became a separate cmpany in the 1970s: Visa.
Critics are right, thugh, t wrry that BNPL lans remain hidden frm regulatrs and ther lenders as prviders d nt supply cmprehensive data t credit-reprting firms n their users’ brrwing and repayments. Althugh they benefit frm checking their custmers’ credit, they deny ther lenders the pprtunity t d the same, which raises the pssibility that banks will lend t peple with substantial BNPL debts, nt realizing they are riskier than they appear.
Sme prviders say they d nt trust credit bureaus—agencies that cllect, rganize, and prvide infrmatin abut individuals’ credit histries—t understand this new frm f finance; thers may see the secrecy it ffers as an advantage, because it attracts brrwers wh wish t keep their debts hidden. Despite such cncerns, prviders shuld be required t reprt their data, as Affirm, ne f America’s largest BNPL lenders, has recently begun t d. Many prviders wish t reach further int mainstream finance, and t achieve thse dreams, they must pen up.
What is “the reprachful frwns” in paragraph 2 clsest in meaning t?
New frms f credit.
Disapprving reactins.
Surprised expressins.
Signs f mral decline.
Why des the authr mentin Bank f America’s credit-card business (paragraph 3)?
T shw what makes a new financial prduct eventually becme a success.
T argue that BNPL will finally take the place f current credit card business.
T prve that fraud remains smething that is unavidable in the field f finance.
T suggest that financial innvatins are ften dubted befre gaining acceptance.
Accrding t the passage, what is a key cncern abut BNPL firms?
They share persnal data with credit bureaus.
They burden brrwers with high interest rates.
They verlk brrwers’ repayment ability.
They make credit risk harder t mnitr.
What is the authr’s attitude twards BNPL?
It may harm the yung, s regulatrs shuld ban it.
It is grwing, and it is making nline shpping easier.
It may be useful, but prviders need t fully reprt data.
It is unfair, as it excludes less credit-wrthy brrwers.

(D)
Decisins regarding vcabulary and ther elements f style cntribute nearly as much t a text’s meaning as the underlying research.
Hwever, that knwledge did nt stp my students frm relying heavily n generative AI.
Hwever, the technlgy ften changes vcabulary and alters meaning even when the nly task is “fix the grammar.”
Rather, writing is a prcess clsely tied t thinking.
The prblem was nt recgnizing AI-generated r AI-revised text.
They will find ways t encurage students t think and learn that writing is a way f generating ideas.
Will we lse ur ability t think?
Fr mst f my career, I taught writing, literature, and language, primarily t university students. But I quit last fall, in large part, because f large language mdels (LLMs).
Virtually all experienced schlars knw that writing, as histrian Lynn Hunt argued, is “nt the transcriptin f thughts already cnsciusly present in mind.” 47 Writing is hard wrk. It is smetimes frightening. With the easy temptatin f AI, many—pssibly mst—f my students were n lnger willing t push thrugh discmfrt.
In my mst recent jb, I taught academic writing at a technical cllege. My graduate students, many f whm were cmputer scientists, understd the mechanisms f generative AI better than I d. They recgnized LLMs as unreliable research tls that invent things. They knew that mdels are trained n existing data and therefre cannt prduce nvel research. 48 Several students admitted t drafting their research in nte frm and asking AI t write their articles.
Students wh utsurce their writing t AI lse an pprtunity t think mre deeply abut their research. In a recent article n art and generative AI, authr Ted Chiang put it this way: “Using AI t cmplete assignments is like bringing a frklift int the weight rm; yu will never imprve this way.” Chiang als ntes that the hundreds f small chices we make as writers are just as imprtant as the initial cnceptin. 49
Still, I fund myself spending mre time giving feedback t AI than t my students. S I quit.
The best educatrs will adapt t AI. In sme ways, the changes will be psitive. Teachers must mve away frm mechanical activities r assigning simple summaries. 50 Hwever, with few exceptins, my students were nt willing t enter thse uncmfrtable spaces r remain there lng enugh t discver the pwer f writing.
Summary Writing
Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.

We live in a wrld cncerned abut hw much sleep we get. Many f us chase slutins in the pursuit f that glden 8 hurs f sleep. But what if the secret t feeling restred has little t d with hw much we actually slept? A wave f new research suggests that the way we think abut sleep matters mre than the hurs we get.
Last year, a UCLA study tracked 249 peple, nting bth their actual sleep time and their self-reprted sleep
behaviur. The mismatch between the tw sets f data was striking: many peple claimed they had slept terribly, but the bjective data shwed a different case. When participants perfrmed cgnitive ( 认知的) tests, it was the self-reprted sleep quality that predicted hw well they did, rather than the bjective data.
This suggests that changing hw we think abut ur sleep might help us respnd better t a lack f sleep. But t make full use f this pwer, we als need t cnsider hw peple judge their sleep quality. In the fllw-up study, participants rated their previus night’s sleep every tw hurs while reprting their md, physical activity and scial activities. Mre than 90 per cent f the participants changed their sleep quality ratings during the day.
Amng all the factrs, physical activity mst imprved their sleep views. Dragging yurself t the gym, despite little sleep, isn’t such a bad idea — it might psitively reshape yur memry f sleep, leading t beneficial knck-n effects.
Fr peple with lng-term sleep struggles, a psitive mindset smetimes means all. Actively reshaping yur perceptin f last night’s sleep the next day culd help t achieve this. Anther way is t simply re-examine hw many hurs yu think yu need—eight hurs is nt a universal rule. Helping peple reset expectatins can reduce wrry and imprve sleep satisfactin, even withut increasing ttal sleep time.
