Ms.McIntyre,38,worked as a publisher.She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment.But she realized that in a way,she was luckier than some other people.She had insurance to help pay for her medical care.But Ms.McIntyre and her husband,Mr.Gregory,knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing,Ms.McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could.The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt,which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others.The group can pay off medical bills for about100times less money than they cost.In other words,for every100donated,the group can pay off10,000in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately,Ms.McIntyre passed away before long.Mr.Gregory posted a message for Ms.McIntyre on her social media accounts.“If you’re reading this,I have passed away,”the post began.Then the post explained,“To celebrate my life,I’ve arranged to buy up others’medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose.They had hoped to raise about $20,000.Nevertheless,Ms.McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention.The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal.In less than a week,the site had raised10times more than expected and the donations are still coming in.By November22,2023,Ms.McIntyre’s web page had raised over$627,000,or enough money to pay off about$60million in medical debts.
Mr.Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms.McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
24.Why did Ms.McIntyre feel luckier than some other people?
A.The doctors eventually cured her.
B.Her disease didn’t become worse.
C.She had a decent job before being ill.
D.She had security about medical care.
25.How did Ms.McIntyre and her husband help others?
A.By paying for their daily debts.
B.By giving away money to them.
C.By ridding them of debts from treatments.
D.By purchasing medical insurance for them.
26.What is paragraph4mainly about?

C.The operation of a website.
D.The increase of medical debts.
27.Which of the following words can best describe Ms.McIntyre?

C.Cautious and promising.
D.Enthusiastic and adaptable.

Researchers at MIT created a high-tech pill that starts to vibrate(震动)once it makes contact with liquid in the user’s stomach and make him or her feel full.The pill was reportedly thought up by Shriya Srinivasan, currently an assistant professor of bioengineering at Harvard University.
VIBES,short for Vibrating Ingestible BioEleotronic Stimulator,was only recently made public in a study published in the Science Journal,but it is already being announced by the media as the future of weight loss. Although it has yet to be tested on humans,trials on pigs have achieved very hopeful results.After about30 minutes of VIBES activity,pigs consumed on average almost40percent less food in the next half hour than they did without the smart pill.Apparently,the revolutionary device works by activating stretch receptors in the stomach,modeling the presence of food.This in turn signals the hypothalamus(下丘脑)to increase the levels of hormones that make us feel full.The vibrating stimulator,which is about the size of a vitamin pill,is powered by an encased battery and activated either by the gastric fluid(胃液)breaking down a coat around the pill,or by an incorporated timer.After producing the desired effect,the pill exits the body with other solid waste: The good news is that it is expected to have a cost in the cents to one dollar range,and researchers say that it may eventually be possible to implant the stimulator and thus remove the need for people to constantly swallow it.
“Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of a low-cost,non-operative intervention to reduce food intake and calorie consumption.The device functions effectively in the stomach and leading to fullness,”said Giovanni
Traverso,co-author of the study.“The device has the potential to revolutionize options for weight loss treatment. However,future studies will need to explore the physiological effects of the device before it’s available for patients.”
Researchers are now exploring ways to scale up the producing of VIBES capsules which could enable clinical trials in humans.
28.What is the outcome of taking the pill?
A.Sensation of fullness.
B.Food storage.
C.Liquid production.
D.Recovery of users.
29.Which aspect of the device is mentioned in paragraph2?
A.Its intelligence.
B.Its working principle.
C.Its testing history.
D.Its side effect.
30.What is the researchers’ultimate goal of the device?
A.To produce gastric fluid with it.
B.To destroy the coat around it.
C.To remove solid waste from it.
D.To fix it in human body.
31.What is Giovanni Traverso’s attitude towards the future of the device?
A.Worried.
B.Doubtful.
C.Cautious.
D.Confused.

Imagine this:you need an image of a balloon for a work presentation,so you use an AI text-to-image generator like Midjourney or DALL-E.But when you enter the prompt(提示词)“red balloon against a blue sky,”the generator returns an egg instead.
What’s going on?The generator you’re using may have been“poisoned”.What does this mean?Text-to-image generators work by being trained on large datasets containing millions or billions of images.Some of the generators have been trained by indiscriminately(任意地)scraping online images,many of which may be under copyright.This has led to many copyright infringement(侵害)cases where artists have accused big tech companies of stealing and profiting from their work.
This is where the idea of“poison”comes in.Researchers have recently created a tool named“Nightshade”to fight back against unauthorized image scraping.The tool works by slightly changing an image's pixels(像素)in a way that confuses the computer vision system but leaves the image unchanged to a human’s eyes.If an organization then scrapes one of these images to train a future AI model,its data pool becomes“poisoned.”This can result in mistaken learning,which makes the generator return unintended results.As in our earlier example,a balloon might become an egg.
The higher the number of“poisoned”images in the training data,the greater the impact.Because of how generative AI works,the damage from“poisoned”images also affects related prompt keywords.For example,if a “poisoned”image of a Picasso work is used in training data,prompt results for masterpieces from other artists can also be affected.
Tools like Nightshade might be misused by some users to intentionally upload“poisoned”images to confuse AI generators.However,Nightshade’s developer hopes the tool will make big tech companies more respectful of copyright,challenging the belief that data found online can be used freely.
Human rights activists have also expressed concerns about the indiscriminate use of machine vision, especially in facial recognition.The connection between facial recognition cases and data poisoning raises broader questions about technological governance.Data poisoning could be seen as an innovative solution to protect fundamental human rights.
32.What does the underlined word“scraping”in paragraph2probably mean?
A.Facilitating.
B.Collecting.
C.Damaging.
D.Polishing.
33.According to the text,what may adding poisoned data lead to?
A.Causing users to forget the prompt key words.
B.Discriminating against great masterpieces.
C.Interfering with the training of generative AI.
D.Increasing the accuracy of returned information.
34.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
puter scientists have learned to respect the copyright of most artists.
B.Nightshade is being abused by human rights activists to recognize faces.
C.The issue of technological governance has aroused the lawyers’interest.
D.Data poisoning is somehow justified to direct attention to human rights.
35.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A.Data Poisoning:Restricting Innovation or Empowering Artists
B.Data Poisoning:Risks and Rewards of Generative AI Data Training
C.Data Poisoning:Addressing Facial Recognition Issues Among Artists
D.Data Poisoning:Government Empowering Citizens to Protect Themselves

How to Stop Being a People Pleaser
As a recovering people pleaser,I spent much of my life keeping others happy.Breaking this habit meant stepping on a few toes.However,I’ve become a happier person as a result.Here are some tips I used to stop being a people pleaser.
Identify your priorities.Take a moment to think about why you are trying to learn how to stop being a people pleaser.Who are the people that you feel the need to please?36Answering these questions will help you set a goal that you can hold yourself accountable to.
Just say“no”.One reason why people pleasers say“yes”to everything is that they fear disappointing others. 37If you are a people pleaser,you are likely to spend lots of energy trying to control how people feel about you.The best thing you can do is let them feel their feelings.It will feel liberating to free yourself from being responsible for someone else’s reaction.
38Saying“no”is a good way to set better boundaries in your important relationships.All healthy relationships have their own boundaries.If you haven’t set boundaries in your relationships,the odds are that at some point you will end up feeling pressured to do something you don't want to do.
Accept yourself.Many people pleasers are insecure about who they are.39Check out our summary of BrenéBrown’s the Gifts of Imperfection to learn how to accept your imperfections and love yourself.
Remember that you cannot please everyone.No matter what you do there will always be someone who is unhappy with your choices.40
A.Set healthy boundaries.
B.Keep healthy relationships.
C.Why do you feel the need to keep them happy?
D.And why bother trying to please everyone if it isn’t possible?
E.Spend some time learning to love yourself for who you are.
F.That is why the more you seek security,the less of it you have.
G.But saying“no”is the best way to take care of your own needs.

When things went wrong,Fein always had something nice to say.
When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned,Fein comforted him by saying it would still taste good.And
he was right.The pizza edges were dark and crispy,but the middle wasn’t half bad.When Fein’s friend got a low score on the spelling test,Fein said that she would do better next time.And,sure enough,she studied hard and got 100percent the next week.When his teacher bumped into a bookstand in the library,Fein told him not to worry as the librarian wouldn’t be upset.He was right.The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books.
Fein looked on the bright side.And everyone liked that about him.Everyone,that is except Hazel.Hazel was the new kid in the class.On her first day,Fein said,“Nice to meet you,Hazel.I think you’ll like it here.”Hazel stared at him.“I doubt it.”Fein didn’t know what to do.He’d never met anyone like Hazel.
When the teacher said they’d take a break inside because of the rain,Fein said,“Every cloud has a silver lining.”“A silver lining?”Hazel shook her head.“Clouds are white.Maybe gray.Where do you get this stuff?”Fein felt as if the wind had been knocked out of him.Outside the window,the clouds had rolled over the sun.The room felt darker.
“Bad things come in threes,”said Hazel.“No outdoor break is number one.What will be the second thing?”The class didn’t have to wait long to find out.
Emma was carrying a tray of paints(颜料)during art class.She tripped,and the paint went flying.There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls.Hazel declared it to be the second bad thing.Fein didn’t know what to say.Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things.
Emma came to look at Fein’s painting.“It’s beautiful.I especially like the grassland.”she said.

Hello,my dear fellows!
I’m really excited to be informed that we are going to start an English journal together,which is definitely a wonderful idea.It’s such a golden opportunity to enhance students’English capability and appreciate the charm of the English language.
As for proposals,I’d like to recommend“Student Voices”as a distinctive column.Since studying is always a top priority for us,we are often under great pressure and lack opportunities to express ourselves.Why not create a space where students can voice their inner feelings and maintain a positive mindset to face the challenging yet promising future?I believe this column will serve as a valuable outlet and a stepping stone for students to communicate fluently in English.
That’s all for my advice!Thank you!

She picked up the painting,not realizing she had paints on her fingers.A fingerprint was left on the canvas, seemingly reinforcing Hazel’s Rule of Three Bad Things.Hazel pointed out,“Fein’s picture is ruined!That makes three.”Distressed,Emma apologized to Fein,her face flushed with embarrassment.Fein offered her reassurance with a gentle pat on the shoulder and gazed at the print for a moment.Suddenly,his eyes brightened and he dipped his finger into the yellow paint and added two more fingerprints to the artwork.Together with
Emma’s print,they resembled three vibrant butterflies fluttering above the verdant grassland.
“Want to add one on the painting?”Fein asked Hazel.She hesitated for a fraction of a second.“It could be enjoyable.”Fein encouraged her further,prompting her to have a try.Hearing that,Hazel tentatively dipped her finger into the paints,carefully pressing it onto Fein’s canvas to craft delicate wings.At that moment,the sky cleared,casting a warm golden light over the field of butterflies.Fein then addressed Hazel,saying,“Cast aside your Rule of Three Bad Things.While misfortunes may occur,so do moments of joy.Occasionally,good things can be found in the most unexpected places.”

W:Striker,up front.
M:Ah,you must have been the star of scoring goals!
W:I wish!I have only scored twice,all season.Natalie is our star striker.(9)So,you used to play goalkeeper?
M:Many years ago,for my office team.
W:Well,you’ll probably be in midfield.Dave refuses to play anywhere but the goalkeeper.He hates running.I think he only comes for the trip to the caféafter games!
M:That’s fine.I’ll play in midfield.(10)It’ll just be nice to get some exercise!

M:Do you collect stamps as an investment?(11)
W:Not really.Some are quite valuable,but it’s not about that.As a history student,I love that each one is a little piece of culture,and of the past.(11)
M:I can see that.What surprises me most is the geography.You’ve got stamps from Fiji, Ethiopia,Kazakhstan…
W:And some are just really pretty.
M:Right.I love this Norwegian one the most.(12)
W:That was actually voted the most beautiful stamp of2018.
M:Oh cool!
W:I’d love to buy a set of stamps called“The Stage Art of Mei Lanfang”,but they cost exactly five times the price of the most expensive one I own!(13)
M:Which is?
W:A British one called the“Postal Union Congress£1stamp”.It cost me about8000yuan.
