In the early 1920s, Ernest Hemingway was a little-knwn jurnalist. Then, in 1925, he published In Our Time, a bk f shrt stries, and later The Sun Als Rises, the mst celebrated bk abut the “Lst Generatin” in pst-war Eurpe. Hemingway became famus in the same way ne f his characters described ging bankrupt (破产) — “gradually and then suddenly”. Eight ther nvels and nvellas fllwed, as did Pulitzer and Nbel prizes.
Nbdy had written like him befre. A shrt clean sentence is a fine thing. But if the writer has his stry straight and his wrds true, he can g lng and hard — n need fr big wrds and adverbs and cmmas (逗号). He als knew what t leave ut, as he explained, “If a writer f prse knws enugh f what he is writing abut, he may mit things that he knws and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enugh, will have a feeling f thse things as strngly as if the writer had stated them.”
Beynd his distinct style, his heres attracted famus admirers. He defined curage as “grace under pressure” — martially, fr the sldier in A Farewell t Arms; physically, fr the fisherman in The Old Man and the Sea; r sprtingly, fr the transfrmed hunter in The Shrt Happy Life f Francis Macmber. In 1955 Jhn F. Kennedy asked fr Hemingway’s permissin t use this definitin in Prfiles in Curage, which wn the Pulitzer prize fr bigraphy.
Perhaps mst imprtantly, Hemingway’s life became a legend. He endured brken marriages, was wunded in the first wrld war, reprted in the secnd, ran with the bulls in Spain and survived a plane crash in Africa. Yet, beneath tughness, he suffered frm depressin. That has prvided mre than enugh material fr bigraphies and dcumentaries, including a six-hur series by Ken Burns in 2021.
While adaptatins f his wrks are rare, and sme themes may appear utdated t a cntemprary audience, Hemingway’s revlutinary wrks, pwerful characters, and strmy life ensure his permanent place as a twering figure in literature.
4．What is mainly intrduced abut Hemingway in paragraph 1?
A．His career shift.B．His rise t fame.
C．His war service.D．His plan fr writing.
5．What sets Hemingway apart frm ther writers in writing style?
A．Imaginative and vivid wrding.B．Simple yet detailed descriptins.
C．Clean and genuine expressins.D．Cmplicated yet lgical sentences.
6．Why des the authr mentin Jhn F. Kennedy in paragraph 3?
A．T hnur Kennedy’s curage.B．T cmpare tw famus figures.
C．T highlight Pulitzer’s significance.D．T shw Hemingway’s great influence.
7．What des the authr imply abut Hemingway’s wrks?
A．They age int silence.B．They are hard t adapt.
C．They mirrr his easy life.D．They stand the test f time.
Thrugh evlutin, animals have develped numerus ways t prtect themselves frm predatrs (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses dn’t wrk against cars. Envirnmental jurnalist Ben Gldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — r even harmful. Staying still is the wrst chice. Radkill is a serius threat t wildlife.”
Rads als act as barriers, preventing animals frm mving freely. The cnstant traffic n highways creates what scientists call a “mving fence”— a wall f vehicles that animals avid crssing. While we ften see dead animals like deer r squirrels n rads, we dn’t see the nes that never try t crss. This islatin can harm animal ppulatins mre than radkill itself.
Chemicals frm rads als damage the envirnment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 millin tns f rad salt t melt ice, which pllutes nearby sil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and cpper, and tires leave behind micrplastics. These pllutants make radsides dangerus fr creatures like mnarch butterflies, even thugh these areas culd therwise be gd habitats.
Radsides smetimes attract animals with fd like flwers r berries, but this becmes an “eclgical trap”. Animals are drawn t these resurces, nly t face the danger f traffic.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area fund that when cars disappeared fr mnths, white-crwned sparrws — small sngbirds — started singing mre cmplex and varied sngs. Withut traffic nise, they n lnger needed t “shut” and culd return t their natural behavirs. This shws hw much rads affect wildlife — but als hw adaptable animals can be.
Despite these challenges, Gldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptatins. He ntes that Chicag’s urban fxes are said t lk bth ways befre crssing the street. “We think abut rads as these frces that are universally r exclusively harmful t animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is als impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways t make a living in ur midst.”
8．Hw des the authr start the text in the first paragraph?
A．By stating a reasn.B．By prviding statistics.
C．By defining a cncept.D．By giving examples.
9．What harmful impact d rads have n wildlife?
A．Less fd supply.B．Restricted mvement.
C．Increased predatrs.D．Species extinctin.
10．What can we infer frm Gldfarb’s wrds in the last paragraph?
A．Rads are nt truly harmful t wildlife.
B．Urban fxes seldm get hit by vehicles.
C．Animals adapt cleverly t dangerus rads.
D．Wildlife prtectin deserves highest attentin.
11．What is the authr’s purpse in writing this passage?
A．T advcate reducing traffic.
B．T preserve wildlife diversity.
C．T analyze rads’ effects n wildlife.
D．T highlight radkill danger t animals.
In April 2026, sme f the wrld’s mst pwerful technlgy cmpanies made a striking annuncement: they are nw using artificial intelligence — AI — t help build and imprve AI itself. Cmpanies like OpenAI, Anthrpic, and Ggle DeepMind have quietly set a new gal: t create AI systems that can d their wn research and autmate (使自动化) the prcess f scientific discvery.
Anthrpic, the cmpany behind the ppular AI assistant Claude, recently revealed that its AI nw writes up t 90 percent f the cmpany’s wn cde — the instructins that tell cmputers what t d. Meanwhile, OpenAI, ne f the wrld’s leading AI labs, has annunced plans t launch an “AI research intern (实习生)” within six mnths. This intern wuld be able t independently handle a small number f specific research prblems — withut any help frm a human.
The idea f AI imprving itself is nt new, but the speed at which it is nw happening has surprised many experts. Jakub Pachcki, OpenAI’s chief scientist, tld MIT Technlgy Review that he believes we are appraching a pint where AI mdels culd wrk “indefinitely” — meaning cntinuusly — n cmplex tasks, much like a human researcher. “We will have an era where there are entire research labs inside data centers,” he said.
Hwever, this exciting visin als raises serius cncerns. Experts warn that self-imprving AI systems culd becme difficult t cntrl. If an AI makes errrs in ne step f a lng chain f tasks, thse mistakes culd build up — a prblem knwn as “errr accumulatin”. A mre alarming wrry is that such systems culd be used t design dangerus tls, including bilgical weapns r cyberattacks (网络攻击).
Despite the risks, many in the tech industry remain ptimistic. They argue that self-imprving AI culd speed up prgress in science and medicine, helping researchers find cures fr diseases faster than ever befre. The questin is nt whether this technlgy will arrive — but whether humanity will be prepared when it des.
12．What is the purpse f the first paragraph?
A．T warn f AI risks.B．T lead in the tpic.C．T list AI cmpanies.D．T tell hw AI wrks.
13．What can we learn abut the “AI research intern”?
A．It acts better than humans.B．It has wrked fr six mnths.
C．It can slve certain prblems alne.D．It writes 90% f the cmpany’s cde.
14．What is peple’s attitude t self-imprving AI systems?
A．Objective.B．Indifferent.
C．Cmpletely ptimistic.D．Cmpletely pessimistic.
15．Which is a suitable title f the text?
A．Risks f AI Self-Imprving.B．Ways f AI Self-Imprving.
C．AI: A State-f-the-art Assistant.D．Tw Sides f AI Self-Imprving.
Start a Healthy Habit
Many peple want t live a healthier life. They decide t exercise mre r eat better fd. They feel excited at first. But after a few weeks, they ften stp and return t their ld ways. 16 . The gd news is that there are sme simple ways t make habits stick.
First, make yur new habit easy t see. The mre visible it is, the mre likely yu are t d it. Fr example, if yu want t drink mre water, place a full water bttle right n yur desk where yu wrk r study. 17 . This small change can help yu drink mre withut much effrt.
Secnd, try a methd called “habit stacking.” This simply means that yu add a new habit t smething yu already d every day. 18 . Fr instance, yu culd d a gentle stretch right after yu finish brushing yur teeth. Because brushing is a fixed part f yur day, the new habit becmes much easier t remember.
Third, pay attentin t hw yu think abut yurself. Instead f telling yurself “I will try t g running,” start saying “I am a runner.” 19 . When yu start t see yurself as a healthy and active persn, yur actins will naturally fllw that belief.
Finally, d nt be t hard n yurself if yu slip up r miss a day. Nbdy is perfect, and everyne has mments when they fall back. 20 . The key is t just begin again the very next day. Remember, even tiny steps taken ver time can lead t big and lasting changes.
A．When yu see the bttle, yu will be reminded t drink.
B．Yu d nt need t be perfect.
C．This small shift in the way yu think can make a real difference.
D．But building a new habit des nt have t be such a struggle.
E．Yu simply attach the new behavir t a daily rutine yu already fllw.
F．Trying t change t many habits at nce ften leads t giving up.
G．What really matters is getting back n the right track quickly.

When we were finally dismissed (解散) frm the last class f the day, the students streamed ut f the classrms. It was anther bring day after schl. I dragged my feet hme as I sighed. Yet anther uneventful day, I thught. Little did I knw that the day wuld take a turn fr the wrse.
The lift lbby (电梯间) f my flat was ld and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied ver many years. I reached my flat’s lbby, and pressed the lift buttn and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbur, hbbled (蹒跚) in. She lked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded ld-fashined dress. I held the lift dr pen, flashing a friendly smile, and plitely greeted her. I asked her hw she felt that day and pressed the buttns. She thanked me fr being s plite, then we were silent fr the rest f the ride.
The lift fell dwn increasingly fast. There were lud clanking sunds here and there while the lift grew slwer and slwer. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cld and wet with sweat. Unfrtunately, the lift came t an abrupt stp at the fifth flr. I pressed the buttns hard several times, but it was f n help. The lights n the buttns had gne ut. It sn dawned n me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get ut!” she cried with her face pale. It had becme a clurless mask. I had n time t lse. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sund was surely deafening, but what ther chice did I have?

Several minutes passed, but n help came. Trembling slightly, I wrapped my arms arund the panicking Mrs Lim, her wrinkled face flded with terrr. “Dn’t wrry, we’ll be rescued sn,” I cmfrted her sftly, patting her shaking back. The narrw lift, wrapped in dim grey shadws, felt suffcating. I fetched a crumpled tissue and wiped sweat ff her frehead. Having tried every rescue buttn repeatedly, I leant against the cld metal wall, wndering hw lng we wuld stay trapped. Despair gradually cluded my mind as silence surrunded us tightly.
Bang! My hpes were lifted when I heard the firefighters shuting n the ther side f the lift dr. Lud metal cracking eched sharply as they pried pen the rusty dr. One firefighter stretched ut his strng arm, guiding us ut carefully. Stepping int bright daylight, we bth breathed a deep sigh f relief. Warm fresh air rushing ver ur tired faces, all fear faded away instantly. This terrifying experience taught me that calmness and kindness are the mst precius strength in emergencies.
