I was in my mid-20s when I fell int ne f the mst pisnus relatinships f my life. I remember buying my first self-help bk, which prmised I culd be healed f anything. I culdn’t put it dwn in days. Over the next 15 years, I bught hundreds f self-help bks, curses and apps, and tracked dwn every self-styled persnal imprvement expert in the hpe that they culd teach me hw t becme happier, mre cnfident and mre lvable.
Grwing up in an envirnment f addictin and family cnflict made me desperate fr self-imprvement. I believed self-help authrs culd be the instructrs I had never fund. My dependency became strng after my father died in 2022. I managed t spend an enrmus amunt f time reading abut hw t grieve (哀痛) well instead f ding the right things: sitting with my feelings, allwing myself t cry and prcessing the lss.
My dependency n self-help had becme pisnus, and smething had t give. It started t dawn n me that instead f helping me, the advice was making me feel wrse. It tk a deep cnversatin with a lved ne t recgnise that in trying t change my life, I was trying t change things that were ut f my cntrl. Instead f fcusing n wh I wanted t becme, I had t quit self-help t learn and accept wh I really was. Spending time alne, ften walking, and listening t my thughts withut trying t silence r change them helped.
Since I quit my self-help walking stick, I’ve realized that fcusing all my energy n imprving myself can really take the jy ut f life. It makes happiness cnditinal: nly when I lk that way can I be lved. It can als stp me frm uncnditinally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a lng time, I am finally cming rund t the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.
24. Why did the authr becme dependent n self-help materials?
A. T build gd relatinships.B. T test a bk’s prmise.
C. T find guides t better herself.D. T heal frm her father’s lss.
25. What can we learn abut the authr frm paragraph 2?
A. She became addicted t drugs in childhd.
B. She fund a prper way t hnur her father.
C. Lng time f reading helped her ut f feeling bad.
D. Her upbringing envirnment greatly influenced her.
26. What drve the authr t stp self-imprvement at last?
A. An in-depth talk with a belved.
B. Her awareness f pisnus relatinships.
C. The suggestin frm an instructr.
D. Cnstant self-imprvement learning.
27. What des the authr want t cnvey in the passage?
A. Accepting wh yu arc.B. Becming a better self.
C. Learning t lk lvable.D. Lking at the bright side.

Fantasy authr Gerge Martin has spent 12 years wrking n The Winds f Winter, the lng-awaited sixth part in the series that excited the bk fans. With n publishing date in sight, ne fan decided t write the stry himself, r rather, he asked ChatGPT t write it fr him. Surprisingly, the AI quickly prduced a 683,276-wrd wrk f high quality. But this raises an imprtant questin whether AI prgrams like ChatGPT really prduce the kind f writing that mves us and speaks t ur suls.
“There is a misunderstanding that large language mdels are nt gd at writing in an artistic style,” an authr Sean Michaels tells BBC. “In fact, they can d it easily and quite well, just like all the image-generating (生成) sftware can make phts in the styles f Wes Andersn r David Lynch.”
Fr his nvel D Yu Remember Being Brn, in which a pet is apprached by a tech cmpany t cauthr a cllectin f pems with their AI, Michaels created a special type f ChatGPT he called “Mrebt”, which thrugh training learned t write in the style f real-wrld pet Marianne Mre, further making the distinctin (区分) between human and machine unclear.
Althugh sme writers ppse the rise f AI ut f cncern fr their jbs, thers have put the debate in an lder, brader dialgue n the meaning and purpse f art. The Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has penly expressed his dislike f machine learning. Lking beynd the standard definitin f creativity — creating smething new and riginal — Kaufman describes art as any frm f expressin that establishes an emtinal cnnectin between peple.
Even if AI were capable f writing smething emtinal, which Michaels claimed it can, Kaufman wuld refuse t recgnise this as art. “If I read a pem,” he recently said in a statement n AI, “and that pem mves me. I am in lve with the persn wh wrte it. I can’t be in lve with a cmputer prgram. I can’t, because it isn’t anything.”
28. Why is the stry f the bk fan tld?
A. T shw the ppularity f the series.
B. T intrduce an imprtant questin n AI.
C. T aruse cncern abut human writers.
D. T prve the writing efficiency f ChatGPT.
29. What are paragraph 2 and 3 mainly abut?
A. The way that AI writing wrks.
B. A misunderstanding f ChatGPT.
C. An example in favur f AI creatin.
D. The writing methds f Michael’s nvel.
30. Which can be cnsidered as art accrding t Charlie Kaufman?
A. A prgram-generated nvel.B. A perfect cpy f Wes Andersn’s.
C. An emtinal pem by ChatGPT.D. A girl’s drawing t her mum.
31. What can be the best title f the text?
A. Can AI Create True Art?B. ChatGPT: Greatest Writer Ever?
C. The Rise and Fall f AI Prgrams.D. Can Hi-Tech Have a Prmising Future?
D
“Shall I cmpare thee t a summer’s day?” S begins ne f the mst famus pems in all f English literature. Shakespeare’s “Snnet XVIII” is als ne f the mst frequently cited in usage bks as supprt fr the view that “cmpare t” means t express a likeness, whereas “cmpare with” is used fr cntrasts.
But the picture is nt simple. Shakespeare ges n t say that the wman he is addressing is “mre lvely” and that she, unlike a summer’s day, will never fade. Sme cmmentatrs say, then, that the questin is meant t be answered with a “n”, because f the differences he then stresses. In that case, thugh, what fllws is a textbk example f cmparing her “with”, nt “t”, a summer’s day.
Merriam-Webster’s Dictinary f English Usage examined many literary examples f “cmpare” fllwed by “with” and “t”. Its editrs fund that after the active frm (cmpare) the distinctin is ften kept. After the past participle (cmpared) the variatin is in effect randm (随机地)
Usage experts understand that drawing up neat rules can be tugh. Yet careful writers knw that sme distinctins are imprtant, and that underestimating these invites cnfusin. It is clear enugh why peple mix up “flut” (藐视) and “flaunt” (炫耀), including sensible writers wh are in a hurry. But if yu flut the distinctin, yu risk appearing t flaunt yur ignrance.
Relaxed bservers smetimes nte that language changes, as thugh nthing can be dne abut that, and, since the prcess is natural, nthing shuld be attempted. But tw different wrds cllapsing int ne really can make language lse its subtleties. Using “strategy” fr ‘tactics” — ne refers t the lng-term plan t win a war, the ther the shrt-term methds used t win a battle — shuld unsettle nt nly military experts but als individuals utside the military. Sme peple are gd tacticians and terrible strategists.
Which are which can be hard t tell. But if yu can take the time t distinguish “cmpare t” frm “cmpare with”, understanding thse rules wrth fighting fr is surely wrth the effrt t.
32. What des the authr intend t shw in the first tw paragraphs?
A. The status f Snnet XVIII.B. The imprtance f crrect usage.
C. The language skill f Shakespeare.D. The cmplexity f wrd chice.
33. What might the editrs discver abut “cmpare t” and “cmpare with”?
A. They may mean differently in different frms.
B. They are used with equal frequency.
C. They are always interchangeable.
D. They can be tld apart easily.
34. What may the underlined wrd “subtleties” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Literary charms.B. Imprtant details.C. Similar meanings.D. Military functins.
35. What des the authr think f language rules?
A. We have t take it as they change.B. They cause cnfusin in writing.
C. We shuld learn thse valuable.D. They are t difficult t fllw.

When I was asked t take part in a frest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must invlve a refreshing swim in the water. 36
I met Frest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Bradley and several ther wmen wh’d cme alng fr the adventure at an urban frest. Here, I began t get it. Frest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat n the banks f the river, but we did nt get in the water. 37 We did walk the frest tracks, but we wandered with n destinatin in mind.
The aim f frest bathing, Bradley explained, is t slw dwn and becme fully bathed in the natural envirnment. She helped us tune in t the frest’s smells, tastes and sights. 38 As we passed thrugh the trees, we tuched their trunks, feeling the rughness beneath ur fingers. We smelled the flwers, each breath being a celebratin f nature’s beauty.
There’s a grwing bdy f evidence that shws frest bathing can help bst md and reduce stress. 39 A 2011 study cmparing city walks t frest walks fund the frest envirnment led t greater reductins in bld pressure, despite bth activities requiring equal physical effrt.
40 Mst f human histry was spent in envirnments that lack buildings and walls, and ur bdies have adapted t living in the natural wrld. But tday mst f us spend much f ur life indrs. Perhaps the new frest bathing trend is a recgnitin that many f us need a little nudge t get back ut there.
A. It’s nt a hike, either.
B. It turns ut that my understanding was literal.
C. The benefits f nature can be accessed simply.
D. Frest bathing frees us frm wrldly engagements.
E. The idea that spending time in nature is gd is nt new.
F. Indeed, medical researchers have demnstrated its benefits.
G. We tk in the peaceful surrundings by using all ur senses.
