When she was young, Sylvia Colt- Lacayo noticed she was particularly fascinated with on-screen stories. Media offered an escape when life was hard.
Watching Glee, she was thrilled to see a character who used a wheelchair like her — until she learned the role was played by an actor who was not disabled. “I remember feeling so heartbroken and betrayed (背叛), for no reason other than the fact that I felt seen for once as a 10-year- old watching Glee, and the power of that,” says Colt- Lacayo.
Now, Colt- Lacayo is graduating from Stanford with a degree in film and media studies and is heading to Hollywood with a passion for increasing disability representation and diversity in general. “Representation matters, and I also think that diverse storytelling is what is most compelling (令人信服的),” she said.
Representation shaped Colt-Lacayo’s path to Stanford. As a disabled Latina girl, she struggled to imagine going to college, in part because she never saw adult wheelchair users in the media. In high school, she met-another Stanford student who was also a wheelchair user at a conference. Suddenly, a new story felt possible.
When she arrived at Stanford, Colt- Lacayo knew she was often the first visibly disabled student her professors and peers had interacted with. Her parents had taught her to advocate for herself, and while she doesn’t claim the label “activist”, she asks for what she needs.
“Yes, there’s something that is in my DNA that makes my body different from other
people’s. But really, what makes me disabled is that people treat me differently, and I do not have equal access to resources,” she said.
She brought this perspective to her Stanford experience. For her senior thesis (论文), she wrote a screenplay examining how growing up with a disability impacts one’s relationship with oneself and one’s understanding of the world.
Colt- Lacayo aims to become an agent for screenwriters and film direętors. She hopes that sharing her story gives others the example she wished for when she was young.
24．How did Colt- Lacayo initially feel while watching Glee?
A．Overjoyed and inspired.B．Honored and confident.
C．Heartbroken and betrayed.D．Sorrowful and sympathetic.
25．What helped Colt- Lacayo picture herself going to college?
A．Her keen interest in films and media.
B．Diverse stories she heard about disability.
C．An example of a disabled Stanford student.
D．A passion for increasing disability representation.
26．What insight did Colt- Lacayo gain about living with a disability?
A．It naturally leads one to grow into a social activist.
B．It mainly involves overcoming physical limitations.
C．It offers special advantages for accessing resources.
D．It influences one’s outlook on the world and oneself.
27．What is the best title of the text?
A．Telling Stories That Matter B．Speaking up for Equality
C．Struggling to Enter Stanford D．Conquering Physical Challenges
Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence, but one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not embrace the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer.
Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, and have no reservations about children playing with dolls, so should we be open
to the value of AI to adults, he says.
“Human loneliness is often characterised by a down ward spiral (螺旋线) in which isolation leads to lower self-esteem (自尊), which discourages further interaction with people,” Prescott writes in a new book. The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence. “There may be ways in which AI companionship could help break this cycle by boosting feelings of self-worth and helping maintain or improve social skills. If so, relationships with AIs could support people to find companionship with human and artificial others.”
With more than a third of Americans reporting “serious loneliness,” the loneliness problem has become evident in recent years. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Sherry Turkle, professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire, and lead people to have fewer secure and fulfilling human relationships.
Murali Doraiswamy, professor of medicine at Duke University, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.”
Researchers may soon know whether people turn to AI for company. Tech firms are building chatbots to be ever more fluent and responsive to emotions. This week, it emerged that OpenAI asked Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of their latest chatbot, GPT-4o, to “help consumers to feel comfortable”. Johansson declined, but the chatbot was released with a voice that friends and family thought was hers. OpenAI has since suspended (中止) the voice option “out of respect for Ms Johansson”.
28．What do the pets and dolls mentioned in Paragraph 2 help illustrate?
A．The limitations of human-AI relationships in daily life.
B．The potential for AI to provide similar companionship.
C．The possibility for AI to replace traditional companions.
D．The overestimation of AI’s role in ending human loneliness.
29．What do the underlined words “this cycle” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The repeated use of AI and others for companionship.
B．The consistent failure of human relationships with AI.
C．The process of developing human self-worth and social skills.
D．The pattern of isolation, lower self-esteem and further isolation.
30．Who expresses concern that AI companionship could weaken human connections?
A．Tony Prescott.B．Sherry Turkle.
C．Murali Doraiswamy.D．Scarlett Johansson.
31．Which central question does the text mainly explore?
A．Could AI contribute to increased loneliness?
B．Will AI companionship replace human interaction?
C．Can AI be used as an effective solution for loneliness?
D．Is AI companionship preferable to traditional relationships?
Across the flat plateau of AlUla in Saudi Arabia, shades of gray- brown soil are dotted with areas of dark rock —— and a clearly defined circle of stones. Unmistakably constructed by humans, this structure, called “standing stone circles” by Archaeologists, was built around 7,500 years ago by a people we barely know for a purpose we have long misunderstood.
In 2019, archaeologists from the University of Western Australia began excavating (发掘) these standing stone circles. Their initial idea was that these were structures built by Neolithic nomads (新石器时代的游牧民) for some long-forgotten religious practices. However, excavating at multiple sites, they found what turned out to be archaeological pay dirt — domestic rubbish. The remains of discarded animal bones, household tools, and even jewelry, have reclassified the standing stone circles as Neolithic homes.
Standing stone circles seem to have sprung up around 5,800 to 5,500 B．C．This coincided with a warmer climate in the region that brought more regular rainfall and a landscape of rich grasses and trees, good conditions for raising cattle and goats. But these were also good conditions for building permanent structures. More abundant vegetation meant less pressure to keep moving the animals to fresh grasslands, which made building homes more worthwhile. This, and the plateau’s abundance of stones, may have encouraged the nomads to stay a while and build.
Excavations of these settlements are revealing something of this people’s way of life. They kept cattle and goats for meat, but continued to hunt and gather to expand their diet with hare, fruits and nuts. The many grinding(磨碎) stones found on the sites suggest inhabitants were
regularly grinding grains, but these were likely to be gathered rather than farmed. The plateau sites have also revealed tools made with materials from the sandstone valleys and jewelry shaped from shells from the Red Sea —— these Neolithic people had a complex culture involving travel and probably exchange.
The revelation overturns many of our assumptions about Neolithic AlUla. Here were a people more settled and more civilized than history has given them credit for. Their story is just beginning to be revealed, but already a very different picture of early AlUla is emerging. 32．What did the 2019 excavation finally identify the “standing stone circles” as?
A．Religious sites.B．Natural wonders.
C．Rubbish stations.D．Domestic buildings.
33．What was a contributing factor in the building of the standing stone circles?
A．The richness of plants.B．The worsening climate.
C．The need to store goods.D．The desire to raise more animals. 34．What is most likely true about Neolithic people’s way of life in AlUla?
A．They had interactions with other groups.
B．They planted crops and kept cattle and goats.
C．They relied entirely on hunting and gathering for food.
D．They made tools and jewelry purely from local materials.
35．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To promote a historical site.B．To provide some new insights.
C．To introduce an ancient population.D．To argue for some long- held beliefs.
Everyone knows that it takes 21 days to develop a new habit. We probably owe this particular example of pop-psychology wisdom to Maxwell Maltz, the plastic surgeon who claimed to have observed that individuals who had had an arm or leg cut off took an average of only 21 days to adjust to the loss of a limb (肢体). 36 . And therefore it must take 21 days to change a habit, maybe, perhaps!
37 , as a new study by psychologist Phillippa Lally and her colleagues helps confirm. On average, her subjects, who were trying to learn new habits such as eating fruit daily or going jogging, took a depressing 66 days before reporting that the behaviour had become unchangingly
automatic. 38 . It couldn’t be just as easy to start eating a few more apples as to start finding five hours a week to study Chinese.
Self- help culture sticks to the fiction of the 21-day rule, probably because it makes habit change sound basically easy. 39 . Our brains are designed to take short cuts, making as many behaviours as possible automatic. “Really,” asks the psychologist Ian Newby-Clark,“ what would be the point of having a habit that didn’t free up your mind to focus on more pressing matters?” Habits are meant to be difficult to change.
Another problem is that we tend to think about habit change wrongly. We want to, say, stop watching so much TV, but on the other hand, demonstrably, we also want to watch lots of TV — after all, we keep doing it. We’re stuck deep in what the Greeks called “akrasia”: deciding on the best course of action, then doing something else. 40 . Simply stop watching TV is like dealing with a leaky bathroom tap by repainting the kitchen. What’s required is an alternative way to feel relaxed and happy. Maybe by looking at the problem differently we can slip out of them. A．This is, of course, nonsense
B．The 21- day rule does have some scientific basis
C．We believe that habits are purely a matter of willpower
D．The way round this is to see that habits are responses to needs
E．Therefore, he reasoned the same must be true of all big changes
F．And some habits, unsurprisingly , were harder than others to make stick
G．One problem with this is discouragingly simple: changing habits is hard

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One Saturday, a thirteen-year-old boy named Tim was hanging out with his friends at a local cafe. Tim and his friends would usually spend the entire weekend together, before meeting again the following week while in school.
That day, Tim’s mom Gloria wanted to change up his routine by inviting him to watch a new superhero movie with her. Gloria kept calling Tim on his cellphone, but he wouldn’t pick up. So, she decided to make her way to the cafe, knowing that this was where Tim and his friends usually had lunch on Saturdays.
When she spotted Tim and his friends, she made her way to them, only to see Tim’s friends giggling. “Your grandmother’s come to pick you up, Tim!” they teased. Tim glared (怒视) at his mother and walked up to her to stop her from going any closer. “What are you doing here?”! he scolded her. “You’re embarrassing me in front of my friends!”
“I just wanted to ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me,” she smiled , trying to hold his hand. Tim shrugged (耸肩) off her hands. “Leave me alone! I’m with my friends!” he told her.
Gloria walked back home sadly. When Tim got home that night, it was already half past ten. He went straight to his room, not even acknowledging Gloria’s presence in the living room.
“What’s the matter, Tim?” Gloria asked him. “Why is it that you don’t like being with me
anymore? I’m worried about you, Tim. I barely know what’s going on in your life!” she said, trying to walk close r to him.
“You’re such an old, boring woman! Why did you even give birth to me?!” he yelled. Gloria felt a pain in her chest after hearing Tim yell at her that way. Before she could respond, Tim grabbed his backpack and ran out the door.
“Tim!” Gloria called out. Tim rode on his bike and left the street. Gloria tried calling out and chasing after him, but he was too fast. Then, she fainted in front of one of her neighbor’s houses.
