In medical schl and thrughut his career as a nenatlgist（新生儿专家）, William Cashre was ften asked t read and crrect thers’ wrk. Little did they knw that he was a spelling champin, with a trphy（奖品）at hme t prve it. Cashre wn the Scripps Natinal Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14．Nw 84, he’s the ldest living champin f the cntest, which dates back t 1925．As cntestants frm this year’s cmpetitin headed hme, he reflected n his experience and the effect it had n him.
Cashre credits his parents fr helping him prepare fr his trip t Washingtn, D. C., fr the spelling bee. His mther was an elementary schl teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent fr taking wrds apart and putting them back tgether.
When the field narrwed t tw cmpetitrs, the ther by misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hk. Cashre spelled it crrectly, then clinched the title with the wrd. “transept”, an architectural term fr the transverse part f a crss-shaped church.
Cashre, wh was given $500 and an encyclpedia set, enjyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t brag abut his accmplishment after returning t Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much mre self-cnfidence and als gave me a sense that it’s very imprtant t try t get things as crrect as pssible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If peple are careless abut spelling and writing, yu wnder if they’re careless abut their thinking.”
“Preparing fr a spelling bee tday requires mre cncentratin and technique than it did decades ag,” Cashre said. “The vcabulary f the wrds are far, far mre technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imprted a great many wrds frm freign languages which were nt part f the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
24．What can we learn abut Cashre frm the first tw paragraphs?
A．He is the best ever spelling champin.B．He prepared alne fr the spelling bee.
C．He used his spelling ability t help thers.D．He preferred t shw ff his spelling talent.
25．What des the wrd “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
A．Remved.B．Declined.C．Wn.D．Gave.
26．Hw did the spelling bee cmpetitin affect Cashre?
A．It helped him start his career.B．It strengthened his cnfidence.
C．It limited his way f thinking.D．It brught him lasting ppularity.
27．What shuld we d t prepare fr tday’s spelling bee accrding t Cashre?
A．Learn multiple languages.B．G abrad fr language study.
C．Be a remarkable technician.D．Try t imprve relevant skills.

What are the mst imprtant factrs that distinguish NBA legends frm the rest? When scping ut talent, scuts（星探）lk fr tw main things: utstanding previus perfrmance and“unexplited ptential”. There is an assumptin that physical stature and athleticism（e. g., arm span, flexibility, swiftness, etc）are markers f unexplited ptential, and will therefre cntinue predicting success in the NBA．But is this assumptin crrect?
A new study sheds sme new light n the issue. Unsurprisingly, measures f physical makeup and athleticism clearly influence selectin int the NBA draft. But they did nt distinguish prductive NBA players frm unprductive players after taking int accunt prir perfrmance. In fact, the nly variables that predicted NBA success were yuth, cllege perfrmance, and cllege quality. Of curse, the researchers didn’t analyze every pssible measure f skill, such as passing, defense and shting. Als, many external factrs culd als have played a rle, such as caching and team scial dynamics. But nne f them may be as imprtant as the biggest elephant in the rm. Let’s turn t Michael Jrdan, the basketball legend.
A lt has been made f Jrdan’s “cut” frm his schl basketball team in Grade Tw in high schl. In reality, Jrdan wasn’t cut, but just placed elsewhere: n the junir team. The schl team really needed size, and at the tryuts Jrdan was 5 feet 10 inches. He didn’t have his big grwth sht until the fllwing year, when he was placed n the schl team. What’s mre, at the tryuts, Jrdan didn’t really stand ut n any f the characteristics the caches were lking ut fr.
Well, except ne: “If Jrdan distinguished himself at all during the tryut, it was thrugh his extreme effrt.”
What truly saddens me is that prfessinals judge the “natural” perfrmer wh demnstrates early evidence f ability t be mre talented and cmpetitive than thse wh shw early evidence f high mtivatin and perseverance. Maybe it’s time t cmpletely rethink this whle belief f unexplited ptential. Perhaps we shuld think abut early ability as merely ptential that was realized earlier than thers. Nthing mre, nthing less.
28．Accrding t the passage, what d team managers generally value in players?
A．Athletic skills and training experiences.
B．Mtivatin and team scial dynamics.
C．Physical makeup and athletic cmpetence.
D．Early perfrmance and prfessinal spirit.
29．What des “the biggest elephant in the rm” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．The mst efficient training prgram.
B．The mst essential quality as a player.
C．The greatest NBA legend Michael Jrdan.
D．The mst bvius factr but ne that is ignred.
30．Why did Jrdan fail t make the schl team as a Grade Tw student?
A．He lacked talent fr the sprt.
B．He was t shrt t win the cach’s favr.
C．He was needed mre by the schl’s junir team.
D．He didn’t make enugh effrts t impress the cach.
31．What message des the writer want t cnvey in the passage?
A．Super effrts can make up fr the lack f athleticism.
B．The cncept f “unexplited ptential” desn’t make sense.
C．Thse wh shw early evidence f ability are nt truly talented.
D．Passin and dedicatin are as wrth cnsidering as athletic characteristics.

A new study published in the jurnal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by bsting the nvelty f stry ideas as well as the “usefulness” f stries — their ability t engage the target audience and ptential fr publicatin. It finds that AI “prfessinalizes” stries, making them mre enjyable, mre likely t have plt twists, better written and less bring.
In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a shrt, eight-sentence “micr stry” fr a target audience f yung adults. They were divided int three grups: ne grup was allwed n Ad help, a secnd grup culd use ChatGPT t prvide a single three-sentence starting idea, and writers in the third grup culd chse frm up t five AI-generated ideas fr their inspiratin.
They then asked 600 peple t judge hw gd the stries were, assessing them fr nvelty and “usefulness”. They fund that writers with the mst access t AI experienced the greatest gains t their creativity, their stries scring 8.1% higher fr nvelty and 9% higher fr nvelty cmpared with stries written withut AI. Writers wh used up t five AI-generated ideas als scred higher fr emtinal characteristics, prducing stries that were better written, mre enjyable, less bring and funnier.
The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Assciatin Task（DAT）and fund that mre creative writers — thse with the highest DAT scres — benefited least frm generative AI ideas.
Less creative writers cnversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access t five AI ideas imprved nvelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% cmpared with thse wh used n AI ideas. Their stries were judged t be up. t 26.6% better written, up t 22.6% mre enjyable and up t15.2% less bring.
Anil Dshi, Assistant Prfessr at the UCL Schl said, “While these results pint t an increase in individual creativity, there is risk f lsing cllective nvelty. If the publishing industry were t use mre generative AI-inspired stries, ur findings suggest that the stries wuld becme less unique and mre similar t each ther. That is nt encuraged in writing.”
32．What were sme participants assigned t d in the study?
A．Help targeted yung writers.B．Imprve sme less creative wrks.
C．Create a mini stry fr yung men.D．Use AI t judge the quality f stries.
33．Wh benefited mst frm the AI-assisted writing in the study?
A．Thse using AI mst.B．Thse f mst creativity.
C．Thse with the help f ChatGPT.D．Thse writing the mst.
34．What might be Anil Dshi’s attitude tward the AI-assisted writing?
A．Optimistic.B．Objective.C．Dubtful.D．Critical.
35．What can be the best title fr the passage?
A．AI is being Used t Create Nvel Stries Nwadays
B．AI is Catching n but Threatening the Future f Writers
C．AI can Bst Creativity in Writing but has its Disadvantages
D．AI Helps Imprve Writing Skills but is Limited t Yung Writers

I was always afraid f water. This fear culd nt be explained, but I knew that the mment I stepped near any bdy f water, my legs wuld turn t jelly（果冻）. I wuld imagine myself drwning in the water and thrashing arund（乱扑腾）helplessly. That was why I had never gne int a swimming pl until swimming became a schl requirement. My schl wanted all pupils t pass a swimming test, and if they culd nt, then they wuld have t attend weekly swimming lessns in schl, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up fr swimming lessns at the pl near my huse. With great unwillingness, I attended thse weekly lessns, and each ne was great suffering fr me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear f water did nt help at all. Every lessn, I wuld be spending my time thrashing abut in the water, while my classmates wuld be swimming cuntless laps effrtlessly and even turning ver like dlphins in the water. Hw was I ging t pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptinally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in ur class and always lked at me with disdain（鄙视）, especially when I thrashed abut hpelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly lng and hard swimming lessn, I sptted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pl. Gathering my curage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can yu teach me t swim?” She stared at me cldly. It was as if I std at the edge f an endless cean f inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark strm cluds threatening t drwn me. Yet, in that mment, a glimmer f hpe flashed within me, a desperate lnging fr guidance and acceptance. Wuld Kathy’s icy exterir（外表）melt under the warmth f empathy, r wuld I remain frever thrashing in the sea f my wn fears?

In medical schl and thrughut his career as a nenatlgist（新生儿专家）, William Cashre was ften asked t read and crrect thers’ wrk. Little did they knw that he was a spelling champin, with a trphy（奖品）at hme t prve it. Cashre wn the Scripps Natinal Spelling Bee in 1954 at age 14．Nw 84, he’s the ldest living champin f the cntest, which dates back t 1925．As cntestants frm this year’s cmpetitin headed hme, he reflected n his experience and the effect it had n him.
Cashre credits his parents fr helping him prepare fr his trip t Washingtn, D. C., fr the spelling bee. His mther was an elementary schl teacher and his father was a lab technician with a talent fr taking wrds apart and putting them back tgether.
When the field narrwed t tw cmpetitrs, the ther by misspelled “uncinate”, which means bent like a hk. Cashre spelled it crrectly, then clinched the title with the wrd. “transept”, an architectural term fr the transverse part f a crss-shaped church.
Cashre, wh was given $500 and an encyclpedia set, enjyed a brief turn as a celebrity. He didn’t brag abut his accmplishment after returning t Pennsylvania, but the experience quietly shaped him in multiple ways. “It gave me much mre self-cnfidence and als gave me a sense that it’s very imprtant t try t get things as crrect as pssible,” he said. “I’ve always been that way, and I still feel that way. If peple are careless abut spelling and writing, yu wnder if they’re careless abut their thinking.”
“Preparing fr a spelling bee tday requires mre cncentratin and technique than it did decades ag,” Cashre said. “The vcabulary f the wrds are far, far mre technical. The English language, in the meantime, has imprted a great many wrds frm freign languages which were nt part f the English language when I was in eighth grade,” he added.
24．What can we learn abut Cashre frm the first tw paragraphs?
A．He is the best ever spelling champin.B．He prepared alne fr the spelling bee.
C．He used his spelling ability t help thers.D．He preferred t shw ff his spelling talent.
25．What des the wrd “clinched” underlined in paragraph 3 refer t?
A．Remved.B．Declined.C．Wn.D．Gave.
26．Hw did the spelling bee cmpetitin affect Cashre?
A．It helped him start his career.B．It strengthened his cnfidence.
C．It limited his way f thinking.D．It brught him lasting ppularity.
27．What shuld we d t prepare fr tday’s spelling bee accrding t Cashre?
A．Learn multiple languages.B．G abrad fr language study.
C．Be a remarkable technician.D．Try t imprve relevant skills.

What are the mst imprtant factrs that distinguish NBA legends frm the rest? When scping ut talent, scuts（星探）lk fr tw main things: utstanding previus perfrmance and“unexplited ptential”. There is an assumptin that physical stature and athleticism（e. g., arm span, flexibility, swiftness, etc）are markers f unexplited ptential, and will therefre cntinue predicting success in the NBA．But is this assumptin crrect?
A new study sheds sme new light n the issue. Unsurprisingly, measures f physical makeup and athleticism clearly influence selectin int the NBA draft. But they did nt distinguish prductive NBA players frm unprductive players after taking int accunt prir perfrmance. In fact, the nly variables that predicted NBA success were yuth, cllege perfrmance, and cllege quality. Of curse, the researchers didn’t analyze every pssible measure f skill, such as passing, defense and shting. Als, many external factrs culd als have played a rle, such as caching and team scial dynamics. But nne f them may be as imprtant as the biggest elephant in the rm. Let’s turn t Michael Jrdan, the basketball legend.
A lt has been made f Jrdan’s “cut” frm his schl basketball team in Grade Tw in high schl. In reality, Jrdan wasn’t cut, but just placed elsewhere: n the junir team. The schl team really needed size, and at the tryuts Jrdan was 5 feet 10 inches. He didn’t have his big grwth sht until the fllwing year, when he was placed n the schl team. What’s mre, at the tryuts, Jrdan didn’t really stand ut n any f the characteristics the caches were lking ut fr.
Well, except ne: “If Jrdan distinguished himself at all during the tryut, it was thrugh his extreme effrt.”
What truly saddens me is that prfessinals judge the “natural” perfrmer wh demnstrates early evidence f ability t be mre talented and cmpetitive than thse wh shw early evidence f high mtivatin and perseverance. Maybe it’s time t cmpletely rethink this whle belief f unexplited ptential. Perhaps we shuld think abut early ability as merely ptential that was realized earlier than thers. Nthing mre, nthing less.
28．Accrding t the passage, what d team managers generally value in players?
A．Athletic skills and training experiences.
B．Mtivatin and team scial dynamics.
C．Physical makeup and athletic cmpetence.
D．Early perfrmance and prfessinal spirit.
29．What des “the biggest elephant in the rm” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．The mst efficient training prgram.
B．The mst essential quality as a player.
C．The greatest NBA legend Michael Jrdan.
D．The mst bvius factr but ne that is ignred.
30．Why did Jrdan fail t make the schl team as a Grade Tw student?
A．He lacked talent fr the sprt.
B．He was t shrt t win the cach’s favr.
C．He was needed mre by the schl’s junir team.
D．He didn’t make enugh effrts t impress the cach.
31．What message des the writer want t cnvey in the passage?
A．Super effrts can make up fr the lack f athleticism.
B．The cncept f “unexplited ptential” desn’t make sense.
C．Thse wh shw early evidence f ability are nt truly talented.
D．Passin and dedicatin are as wrth cnsidering as athletic characteristics.

A new study published in the jurnal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by bsting the nvelty f stry ideas as well as the “usefulness” f stries — their ability t engage the target audience and ptential fr publicatin. It finds that AI “prfessinalizes” stries, making them mre enjyable, mre likely t have plt twists, better written and less bring.
In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a shrt, eight-sentence “micr stry” fr a target audience f yung adults. They were divided int three grups: ne grup was allwed n Ad help, a secnd grup culd use ChatGPT t prvide a single three-sentence starting idea, and writers in the third grup culd chse frm up t five AI-generated ideas fr their inspiratin.
They then asked 600 peple t judge hw gd the stries were, assessing them fr nvelty and “usefulness”. They fund that writers with the mst access t AI experienced the greatest gains t their creativity, their stries scring 8.1% higher fr nvelty and 9% higher fr nvelty cmpared with stries written withut AI. Writers wh used up t five AI-generated ideas als scred higher fr emtinal characteristics, prducing stries that were better written, mre enjyable, less bring and funnier.
The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Assciatin Task（DAT）and fund that mre creative writers — thse with the highest DAT scres — benefited least frm generative AI ideas.
Less creative writers cnversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access t five AI ideas imprved nvelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% cmpared with thse wh used n AI ideas. Their stries were judged t be up. t 26.6% better written, up t 22.6% mre enjyable and up t15.2% less bring.
Anil Dshi, Assistant Prfessr at the UCL Schl said, “While these results pint t an increase in individual creativity, there is risk f lsing cllective nvelty. If the publishing industry were t use mre generative AI-inspired stries, ur findings suggest that the stries wuld becme less unique and mre similar t each ther. That is nt encuraged in writing.”
32．What were sme participants assigned t d in the study?
A．Help targeted yung writers.B．Imprve sme less creative wrks.
C．Create a mini stry fr yung men.D．Use AI t judge the quality f stries.
33．Wh benefited mst frm the AI-assisted writing in the study?
A．Thse using AI mst.B．Thse f mst creativity.
C．Thse with the help f ChatGPT.D．Thse writing the mst.
34．What might be Anil Dshi’s attitude tward the AI-assisted writing?
A．Optimistic.B．Objective.C．Dubtful.D．Critical.
35．What can be the best title fr the passage?
A．AI is being Used t Create Nvel Stries Nwadays
B．AI is Catching n but Threatening the Future f Writers
C．AI can Bst Creativity in Writing but has its Disadvantages
D．AI Helps Imprve Writing Skills but is Limited t Yung Writers

I was always afraid f water. This fear culd nt be explained, but I knew that the mment I stepped near any bdy f water, my legs wuld turn t jelly（果冻）. I wuld imagine myself drwning in the water and thrashing arund（乱扑腾）helplessly. That was why I had never gne int a swimming pl until swimming became a schl requirement. My schl wanted all pupils t pass a swimming test, and if they culd nt, then they wuld have t attend weekly swimming lessns in schl, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up fr swimming lessns at the pl near my huse. With great unwillingness, I attended thse weekly lessns, and each ne was great suffering fr me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear f water did nt help at all. Every lessn, I wuld be spending my time thrashing abut in the water, while my classmates wuld be swimming cuntless laps effrtlessly and even turning ver like dlphins in the water. Hw was I ging t pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptinally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in ur class and always lked at me with disdain（鄙视）, especially when I thrashed abut hpelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly lng and hard swimming lessn, I sptted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pl. Gathering my curage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can yu teach me t swim?” She stared at me cldly. It was as if I std at the edge f an endless cean f inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark strm cluds threatening t drwn me. Yet, in that mment, a glimmer f hpe flashed within me, a desperate lnging fr guidance and acceptance. Wuld Kathy’s icy exterir（外表）melt under the warmth f empathy, r wuld I remain frever thrashing in the sea f my wn fears?
