时文阅读精选一、爱的姿势澜涛（1）救援人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被跨塌下来的房子压死的。

透过废墟的间隙，救援人员看到她双膝跪地，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶地支撑着身体，有些像古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压得变形了，看上去有些怪异。

救援人员从废墟的空隙间伸进手去，确认她已经死亡，又冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在砖头上敲了几下，她都没有任何反应，废墟里也没有任何回应。

还有太多的被困者等待救援，救援人员立刻向新的目标搜寻，当救援人员在下一处废墟前探寻是否有生还者时，救援队长隐约听到从她那里传来婴孩的啼哭声。

救援人员立刻纷纷跑回她的尸体前，救援队长再次将手伸进她的尸体底下，仔细地摸索着，摸了几下，救援队长高声喊道“”有人，有个孩子，还活着！”（2）经过一番努力，救援人员小心地把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的尸体下发现了一个包裹在红色带黄花的小被子里的、三四个月大的婴儿。

因为有她身体的庇护，婴儿毫发未伤。

（3）随行的医生过来解开被子准备给婴儿做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里。

医生下意识地看了一下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信：“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你。

”（4）瞿万容是一位幼儿园老师。

地震发生时，她正和其他4名老师在校，照看着80多个孩子午睡。

她悄声和另外几名老师说，等孩子们午睡醒来后，她要教孩子们做一个她新学的游戏，她说的时候，脸上满是明媚和喜悦。

（5）然而，地震突然而至，欲将所有的美丽撕碎。

（6）5名老师，80个孩子。

将孩子们都疏散到安全地带成了老师们不可能完成的任务。

但老师们齐声喊了一句“救孩子”后，就转身冲向酣睡着的孩子，她也毫不迟疑地冲向一个孩子。

接下来，她都做了什么，无人得知。

（7）地震过去之后，只有30名孩子和两名老师生还。

当救援人员在废墟中发现她时，她扑在地上，后背上压着一块垮塌的水泥板，怀里紧抱着一个小孩。

小孩生还了，她却已经没有了呼吸。

A 阅读理解ChatGPT now has an upgrade (升级) with its new AI model, GPT-4o.But why “o”? It stands for “omni”, which means it can do “all things” in “all ways”. It is stronger than any of the GPT models that came before it.GPT-4o can understand orders through voice, text or images . It can also give answers in all these types of media, said its maker OpenAI. When chatting with you, it can respond as fast as a person can. “Talking to a computer has never felt really natural for me; now it does,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a blog post.The new model may become your “new best friend” as it can help you with many things. It can teach you new languages, summarize a meeting and translate things really fast. But most helpful of all, GPT-4o can be your personal teacher.In a video on the OpenAI website, GPT-4o helped a boy named Imran Khan with a math problem. Instead of giving him the answer, it asked, “Do you remember the formula (公式)?” This helped Khan think step by step. When Khan made mistakes, GPT-4o gave hints (提示) and let him try again, instead of just telling him the answer. These abilities are making lots of people think and talk about the power of GPT-4o. “Teachers give classes to many students at the same time. Now with AI, each person’s learning experience is tailored (定制) to their requirements. It fits what a student needs,” a viewer of the video wrote online.

But it will soon have a visitor – China’s Chang’e 6 probe (探测器).The Chang’e 6 probe will be the first in the world to take stone and soil samples from the moon’s far side. The probe was launched successfully from Hainan on May 3.Humans have done 10 missions to the moon to bring back moon samples, including China’s Chang’e 5 mission in 2020. However, all these missions so far have visited the side of the moon that faces Earth.Because the moon turns at the same speed as it circles Earth, we can never see the far side of the moon. This makes it hard to stay in contact with any spacecraft that goes there.To help the Chang’e 6 space probe “talk” to Earth, China sent a new relay satellite (中继卫星) called Queqiao 2 into space to travel around the moon, helping send messages back.The Chang’e 6 probe also has new smart tools to help it collect samples better. “Even if the probe loses contact with Earth, it can do important work by itself,” Wang Qiong, deputy chief designer of the Chang’e 6 mission.The Chang’e 6 mission to the moon will take 53 days. During this time, the probe will go into orbit (轨道) around the moon and land in a place called the South Pole-Aitken Basin. It is a huge crater (撞击坑) on the far side of the moon. There, it will collect up to 2 kilograms of stone and soil to bring back to Earth. Scientists will study these samples to learn more about the moon.1. How is Chang’e 6’s mission different from other missions before it?A. People can see where the probe works from Earth.B. The mission will start from the moon’s near side.C. The probe will bring back stone and soil samples.D. The probe will work on the far side of the moon.2. What is the role of Queqiao 2?A. Sending the Chang’e 6 probe into orbit.B. Moving between Earth and the moon.C. Acting as a bridge between Earth and Chang’e 6.D. Helping people on Earth talk on the phone better.3. Why is it challenging to communicate with a spacecraft on the far side of the moon?A. The far side is always dark and cold.B. The far side is out of sight from Earth, making communication difficult.C. The Chang’e 6 probe does not have the necessary communication tools.D. The South Pole-Aitken Basin blocks communication signals.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Chang’e 6 mission will last over two months.B. Astronauts will collect 2 kilograms of moon samples.C. We can never see the South Pole-Aitken Basin on Earth.D. The probe completely depends on people’s control.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The Chang’e 6 probe is designed to study the moon's orbit.B. The Chang’e 6 mission marks a significant advancement in lunar exploration.C. The Queqiao 2 satellite is essential for space communication.D.

This helps me form my own ideas, instead of just learning from books,” she said. Chen feels that MUN has opened her eyes to what’s happening all over the world, helping her look further than what’s just in the textbooks.Bridging the gapAs a fantastic way for young people to learn skills, MUN is growing fast in China. Take China Daily MUN (CDMUN) as an example. It covers over 200 schools across 26 provinces, autonomous regions and special administrative regions in China, according to Hu Linhui, director of the Training Department at 21st Century.CDMUN has helped schools in the east and west across China talk and learn more from each other. “Schools in the west are now using MUN to help mix different subjects together,just like schools in the east do,” said Hu.“This program has bridged the gap between schools and promoted educational fairness among different places.”１.What was the main topic of the Seminar on Gen Zer’s Role in Public Diplomacy?A.

It’s like being in an “echo chamber (信息茧房)” – a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you, and you don’t hear any different ones. This isn’t something new, but with everyone on social media, it’s happening a lot more now.Echo chambers are like invisible (看不见的) rooms on the internet where everyone agrees with you. Think about how people used to sit around a fire, telling stories that made everyone else all nod and smile. Now, we have the internet – our modern-day fire – where platforms let people from all over the world share their thoughts. Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That’s thanks to very clever algorithms (算法) - sets of rules that computers follow to figure out what you enjoy based on what you click on, like, and share online. These algorithms watch what we do on the internet to show us more information that matches our interests and even what our friends like.But, being in echo chambers can be a bit tricky (棘手的). They make us feel good because we’re surrounded by views we agree with, but they also make us see the world in a very limited way. This can make our opinions very fixed and make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. It might even make us feel more separated and worried because everyone outside our “bubble ” seems so different.Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. One big step is to challenge ourselves by looking for information from different sources . This means exploring more diverse or different things on the internet, reading different kinds of stories, and talking to people with other views. Also, ask questions about where information comes from, double-check facts and be open-minded. In this way, we can make sure we understand the wider world a lot better.1.What does the term “echo chamber” refer to?A. A physical room where people share stories.B. A place on the internet where everyone agrees with you.C. A social media platform for sharing personal ideas.D. A modern-day tool for telling stories around a fire.2.What role do algorithms play in creating echo chambers?A. They connect people with different views.B. They encourage people to share more stories.C. They promote diverse discussions on the internet.D. They limit the type of information people see.3 What might be a reason someone feels separated and worried in an echo chamber?A. They are unable to share their own stories.B. They are unable to access social media platforms.C. They don't have enough diverse information.D. They feel that everyone outside their bubble is very different.4. What can be inferred about the author's view on echo chambers?A. The author thinks echo chambers are beneficial for forming opinions.B. The author sees echo chambers as a natural part of social media.C. The author believes echo chambers can be limiting and should be avoided.D. The author thinks echo chambers are necessary for sharing personal ideas.5.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The history and development of social media platforms.B. The concept and effects of echo chambers on social media.C. The importance of algorithms in shaping our online experience.D. Strategies for promoting diverse discussions on the internet.F篇：阅读理解History is a tricky puzzle. It's dug up, written down and argued over. People always say that only the winners ever really get a say, and it's quite hard for historians to uncover the complete truth without any errors or bias.So what happens when history meets films? Can a Hollywood film get the history right and make an entertaining piece of art?Oscar winner Oppenheimer (《奥本海默》) sets a good example. In the film, the conversation between Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein by the lake is not historically accurate, but it feels natural in the whole story, and it serves as the icing on the cake (锦上添花), according to The Paper.There are many other examples like Oppenheimer. Usually, in a two-hour film, it is impossible to show the main character's entire complicated life. To make the story fun and dramatic, film makers need to take essential elements (元素) of the original history and create a new fiction. It's an inevitable and necessary choice.Meanwhile , the film Napoleon (《拿破仑》) shows that not all changes can be helpful. Many people think that the fictional parts of the film make the whole story messy since the storylines of war and love are both done poorly.There are many other examples of successful historical fiction films. It's possible that the very lack of historical precision (准确性) in these films, apart from the historical setting and character names, contributes to their greatness. They can present an attractive story set in a period that continues to be widely discussed in today's world. Whether you're into history or not, it's difficult to deny the emotional power these films bring to the screen.According to The Guardian, historical fiction becomes successful when the film provides an enjoyable experience, instead of aiming for strict historical accuracy. A historical film should be regarded as a work of historical fiction rather than a strict history lesson. Also, it seems unfair to ask that filmmakers strictly follow historians' events when historians often disagree among themselves.1.What is the main challenge historians face when uncovering history?A. The lack of physical evidence.B. The complexity of historical events.C. The bias of the winners' accounts.D. The difficulty of finding written records.2. How does the film Oppenheimer handle historical inaccuracies?A. It avoids creating fictional elements.B. It blends a non-factual conversation seamlessly.C. It focuses on the main character's entire life.D. It prioritizes historical accuracy over entertainment.3.What can be inferred about the film Napoleon?A. It is an example of a successful historical fiction film.B. It is praised for its accurate historical portrayal.C. Its fictional parts are considered to be chaotic.D. It focuses on the main character's emotional journey.4.What does The Guardian suggest about historical fiction films?A. They should always be historically accurate.B. They should be entertaining rather than strictly accurate.C. They should not be considered as works of art.D. They should only be made by professional historians.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. History is difficult to interpret accurately.B. Hollywood films cannot represent history correctly.C. Filmmakers should follow historians' accounts strictly.D. Historical fiction films should be entertaining and emotionally powerful.G篇：阅读理解Do you know that our lives are actually controlled by something called algorithms? But do we really get how they change the things we like and who we are?In a book called "Filterworld: How Algorithms Make Our Culture All the Same," a person named Kyle Chayka talks about how these smart computer rules, or algorithms, are on websites like Instagram and Spotify. They make our culture very same-y. What we like doesn't just come from us, but from these computer rules that want to keep us looking at our screens all the time. If what we like helps make us who we are, then this could be a bigger problem for how we think and feel than we think. Just mindlessly scrolling on Netflix or TikTok might not seem like a big deal, but after a while, we might forget what we really like.These taste-making computer rules are hard to escape. Chayka shows us this by talking about how they are in every part of life: like what we see on TikTok, where we eat when we use Google Maps, the music we listen to on Spotify, and even who we might want to go on a date with on Tinder. This world where computer rules make our decisions can change a lot of things about how we live and move around our towns and cities. It makes everything kind of flat and the same. No one can avoid this Filterworld completely.If you're lucky and don't have to use these computer rules for your work or school, you might be able to take a break from them sometimes. But what if your friend tells you about a movie they saw on the internet or you want to buy some shoes because everyone is wearing them after seeing them in an ad? It can feel like there's nothing you can do.But even though this Filterworld is hard to get away from, there is still hope. You can start by paying more attention to the things you choose to watch or listen to. This could mean learning more about a movie you saw or giving money to an artist you like. Even just telling a friend about a music album you think they might like is better than just mindlessly watching random stuff on TikTok. As Chayka says, to fight against these computer rules, "you have to really want to and choose to live your life in a different way."1. What does the term "algorithms" refer to in the context of the article?A. Rules that control our daily routines.B. Computer programs that decide what we see online.C. Games that we play on websites like Instagram.D. Ways to calculate our preferences in math.2. What is Kyle Chayka’s opinion on algorithms?A. They improve our tastes.B. They make our culture more alike.C. They help to identify our personality.D. They contribute to psychological problems.3. What might be a reason someone would feel helpless in the context of the article?A. They cannot understand how algorithms work.B. They are unable to stop using their favorite social media.C. They see a movie recommended by a friend on the internet.D. They want to buy shoes because of a social media advertisement.4. Which of the following is a way to resist the impact of algorithms?A. Limiting the use of social media platforms.B. Making choices based on friends’ suggestions.C. Getting more involved with the selected media.D. Disconnecting from social media advertisements.5. What is the best title for the text?A. Algorithms: Cultural TakeoverB. The Secret of AlgorithmsC. Social Media: Cultural MessengerD. The Rise of Digital Platforms— 11—。

时文阅读精选一、爱的姿势兰涛（1）救援人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被跨塌下来的房子压死的。

透过废墟的间隙，救援人员看到她双膝跪地，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶地支撑着身体，有些像古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压得变形了，看上去有些怪异。

救援人员从废墟的空隙间伸进手去，确认她已经死亡，又冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在砖头上敲了几下，她都没有任何反应，废墟里也没有任何回应。

还有太多的被困者等待救援，救援人员立刻向新的目标搜寻，当救援人员在下一处废墟前探寻是否有生还者时，救援队长隐约听到从她那里传来婴孩的啼哭声。

救援人员立刻纷纷跑回她的尸体前，救援队长再次将手伸进她的尸体底下，仔细地摸索着，摸了几下，救援队长高声喊道“”有人，有个孩子，还活着！”（2）经过一些努力，救援人员小心地清除了阻碍她的废墟。

阅读短文并回答问题High in the Swiss Alps, St Moritz made its name as a place for pushing the boundaries of winter sports. Recently, the region continued its long tradition of expanding the limits of what is possible with a world record attempt —not on snow or ice, but on rails. To mark the 175th anniversary of Switzerland’s first railway, a railway company created the world’s longest passenger train —100 cars, 2,990 tonnes and almost two kilometers long.Formed of 25 new electric trains, the record-breaking 1,906-meter train took almost an hour to cover around 25 kilometers over the impressive UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line, which is famous for its endless swooping curves and steep inclines（斜坡）. The mountain railways are regarded as great feats of engineering. The 62-kilometer line between Thusis and St Moritz, a world-renowned masterpiece of civil engineering, took just five years to build despite requiring 55 bridges and 39 tunnels.Unlike most Swiss and European railways, which use the standard gauge（标准轨距）between the rails of 1.435 meters, the rails, known as Rhaetische Bahn rails, are just one meter apart. “In order to complete the train’s journey successfully, everything has to be perfect. We need to be 100% synchronized（同步的）, every second. Everyone has to keep their speed and other systems under control at all times,”lead driver Andreas Kramer said. “We need to know the Albula Line very well, every change of gradient, and every incline.”The mountainous Swiss landscape has encouraged creative transportation solutions for generations, resulting in one of the most train-reliant nations in the world. On average, Swiss citizens travel about 2,450 kilometers by train annually —an estimated quarter of their total transportation system. In 2021, Swiss Federal Railways operated 11,260 trains carrying 880,000 passengers and 185,000 tonnes of goods per day on a 3,265 kilometer-long network with 804 stations. Therefore, the successful record attempt will be great for the local area and for the country as a whole.1. What is the world’s longest passenger train created for?A.

时文阅读（一）FEW ideas in education are more controversial than vouchers---letting parents choose to educate their children wherever they wish at the taxpayer’s expense. First suggested by Milton Friedman, an economist, in 1955, the principle is compelling simple. The state pays; parents choose; schools compete; standards rise; everybody gains.Simple, perhaps, but it has aroused predictable----and often fatal---opposition from the educational establishment. Letting parents choose where to educate their children is a silly idea; professionals know best. Cooperation, not competition, is the way to improve education for all. Vouchers would increase inequality because children who are hardest to teach would be left behind.But these arguments are now succumbing to sheer weight of evidence. Voucher schemes are running in several different countries without ill-effects for social cohesion; those that use a lottery to hand out vouchers offer proof that recipients get a better education than those that do not. Harry Patrinos, an education economist at the World Bank, cites a Colombian program to broaden access to secondary schooling, known as PACES, a 1990s initiative that provided over 125,000 poor children with vouchers worth around half the cost of private secondary school. Crucially, there were more applicants than vouchers. The programme, which selected children by lottery, provided researchers with an almost perfect experiment, akin to the “pill-placebo” studies used to judge the efficacy of new medicines. The subsequent results show that the children who received vouchers were 15—20% more likely to finish secondary education, five percentage points less likely to repeat a grade, scorced a bit better on scholastic tests and were much more likely to take college entrance exams.Vouchers programmes in several American states have been run along similar lines. Greg Forster, a statistician at the Friedman Foundation, a charity advocating universal vouchers, says there have been eight similar studies in America: seven showed statistically significant positive results but was not designed well enough to count.The voucher pupils did better even though the sate spent less than it would have done had the children been educated in normal state schools. American voucher schemes typically offer private schools around half of what the sate would spend if the pupils stayed in public schools. The Colombian programme did not even set out to offer better schooling than was available in the state sector; the aim was simply to raise enrollment rates as quickly and cheaply as possible.These results are important because they strip out other influences. Home, neighborhood and natural ability all affect results more than which school a child attends. If the pupils who received v ouchers differ from those who don’t----perhaps simply by coming from the sort of go-getting family that elbows its way to the front of every queue---any effect might simply be the result of any number of other factors. But assigning the vouchers randomly guarded against this risk. Opponents still argue that those who exercise choice will be the most able and committed, and by clustering themselves together in better schools they will abandon the weak and voiceless to languish in rotten ones. Some cite the example of Chile, where a universal voucher scheme that allows schools to charge top-up fees seems to have improved the education of the best-off most. The strongest evidence against this criticism comes from Sweden, where parents are freer than those in almost any other country to spend as they wish the money the government allocates to educating their children. Sweeping education reforms in 1992 not only relaxed enrolment rules instate sector, allowing students to attend schools outside their own municipality, but also let them take their state funding to private schools, including religious ones and those operating for profit. The only real restrictions imposed on private schools were that they must run their admissions on a first-come-first-served basis and promise not to charge top-up fees(most American voucher schemes impose similar conditions).The result has been burgeoning variety and a breakneck expansion of the private sector. At the time of the reforms only around 1% of Swedish students were educated privately; now 10% are, and growth in private schooling continues unabated.Anders Hultin of Kunskapsskolan, a chain of 26 Swedish schools founded by a venture capitalist in 1999 and now running at a profit, says its schools only rarely have to invoke thefirst-come-first-served rule----the chain has responded to demand by expanding so fast that parents keen to send their children to its schools usually get a place. So the private sector, by increasing the total number of places available, can ease the mad scramble for the best schools in the state sector(bureaucrats, by contrast, dislike paying for extra places in popular schools if there are vacancies in bad ones).More evidence that choice can raise standards for all comes from Caroline Hoxby, an economist at Harvard University, who has shown that when American public schools must compete for their students with schools that accept vouchers, their performance improves. Swedish researchers say the same. It seems that those who work in state schools are just like everybody else: they do better when confronted by a bit of competition.Altruism（利他主义）, according to the text books, has two forms. One is known technically as kin selection, and familiarly as nepotism. This spreads an individual's genes collaterally, rather than directly, but is otherwise similar to his helping his own offspring. The second form is reciprocal altruism, or “you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours”. It relies on trust, and a good memo ry for favours given and received, but is otherwise not much different from simultaneous collaboration (such as a wolf pack hunting) in that the benefit exceeds the cost for all parties involved. Humans, however, show a third sort of altruism—one that has no obvious pay-off. This is altruism towards strangers, for example, charity. That may enhance reputation. But how does an enhanced reputation weigh in the Darwinian balance? To investigate this question, the researchers made an interesting link. At first sight, helping charities looks to be at the opposite end of the selfishness spectrum from conspicuous consumption. Yet they have something in common: both involve the profligate deployment of resources. That is characteristic of the consequences of sexual selection. An individual shows he (or she) has resources to burn—whether those are biochemical reserves, time or, in the human instance, money—by using them to make costly signals. That demonstrates underlying fitness of the sort favoured by evolution. Viewed this way, both conspicuous consumption and what the researchers call “blatant benevolence” are costly signals. And since they are behaviours rather than structures, and thus controlled by the brain, they may be part of the mating mind. Researchers divided a bunch of volunteers into two groups. Those in one were put into what the researchers hoped would be a “romantic mindset” by being shown pictures of attractive members of the opposite sex. They were each asked to write a description of a perfect date with one of these people. The unlucky members of the other group were shown pictures of buildings and told to write about the weather. The participants were then asked two things. The first was to imagine they had $5,000 in the bank. They could spend part or all of it on various luxury items such as a new car, a dinner party at a restaurant or a holiday in Europe. They were also asked what fraction of a hypothetical 60 hours of leisure time during the course of a month they would devote to volunteer work. The results were just what the researchers hoped for. In the romantically primed group, the men went wild with the Monopoly money. Conversely, the women volunteered their lives away. Those women continued, however, to be skinflints, and the men remained callously indifferent to those less fortunate than themselves. Meanwhile, in the other group there was little inclination either to profligate spending or to good works. Based on this result, it looks as though the sexes do, indeed, have different strategies for showing off. Moreover, they do not waste their resources by behaving like that all the time. Only when it counts sexually are men profligate and women helpful. （选自Economist, 08/02/2007）Digital books start a new chapter导读：第一代电子书并没有取得预期的成功，然而随着技术的进步，新一代电子书产品逐渐浮出水面。
