Stairs are available in many places. And research shows stair-climbing is more effective than walking on level ground. “Overall, it is a fact that stair-climbing gets you fit faster and consumes more calories,” said Lauri van Houten, vice president of the International Skyrunning Federation. The organization oversees a number of activities that involve climbing.“How many calories will I burn is the question everyone wants to know,” van Houten said. “Here’s the good news: The overall energy expenditure of the exercise depends on your weight. Therefore, the more you weigh, the more you burn,” she said.Studies indicate that going up stairs consumes approximately 20 times more calories compared to walking on flat ground. Additionally, descending stairs burns roughly five times as many calories on account of the work from your muscles to decelerate your body movement. Thatmight be all you need to know if you are trying to lose weight. Dr. Alberto Minetti of Italy’s University of Milan has done a large amount of research on human movement — including stair — climbing. It is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money, he said.Minetti did the math to explain why going up stairs is so effective for burning calories in a short amount of time. “To move 1 kilogram of body mass over one horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said. But, he added, “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs, it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.” Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher. He suggested that older people and beginner stair climbers watch their speed. Minetti does his own stair-climbing at his home in Milan. He said he often takes a few deep breaths before going up the many stairs. In a scientific study, Minetti makes the point that using your arms in stair-climbing adds extra power. Handrails offer safety, too.The study notes that handrails are available along most stairs in very tall buildings. Using them increases “the muscle mass involved...” by getting the arms involved, the study shows. “They are relatively small muscles in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti said. If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would own gold medals. Walsham told the Associated Press that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people.4．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Stair-climbing contributes to climbers’ health.B．Stair-climbing is harmful to the climbers’ skeleton.C．Stair-climbing is the most effective way to lose weight.D．Stair-climbing needs high-standard equipment for exercise.5．Why does going down stairs burn more calories than walking on the ground?A．Because it is an exercise everyone can do.B．Because you are heavier while going down stairs.C．Because your muscles have to work to slow the body.D．Because the overall energy expenditure of exercise depends on your weight.6．Which of the following statements does Menetti agree with?A．It is unnecessary to warm up before climbing.B．Using handrails may avoid the potential danger.C．Experienced stair-climbers can pay no attention to their speed.D．You will expend more calories to move horizontally than vertically.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Calorie Burning FactsB．A Sure Way to Burn CaloriesC．Suggestions on Climbing StairsD．Weight Loss Through ExerciseThe buildings in which we live, work and shop shape our experiences. The construction and maintenance of these buildings also require significant resources. So a growing number of architects are trying to design buildings while keeping both sustainability and quality of life in mind. The term “green building” can refer to one of these structures or to the process of constructing them.Any structure is considered a green building if it fits certain criteria. Most of these criteria have to do with environmental concerns, especially those related to climate change. For example, green buildings are made of sustainable materials and use water and energy efficiently as well as renewable energy sources. Green-building advocates do care about the humans involved, though; one of the criteria is that the building will improve its occupants’ quality of life.Sometimes a single feature contributes to more than one criterion. For example, many green buildings have large windows, which save energy on lighting. But natural light also has health benefits for humans, such as increasing vitamin D production, improving sleep and reducing seasonal depression. These windows thus kill two birds with one stone, saving energy and keeping people fit.The construction process for a green building should also have minimal environmental impact. This means it should be energy efficient, avoid pollution and minimize waste.A commercial building in Hong Kong, includes numerous features that employ new technology to improve its occupants’ well-being. For example, they cool the building using chilled beams rather than air vents, and then eliminate uncomfortable drafts. In addition to conventional air filters, they also used a paint that purifies the air, improving air quality in the building beyondwhat a filter could do alone.It’s just one of the many green-building projects carried out by the World Green Building Council. It is an organization with branches all over the world that collaborates with businesses, organizations and governments to encourage green building. Its website lists numerous examples of green buildings and highlights some of the features that made them successful. These buildings include residences, office buildings and more.8．What are the characteristics of the green building?A．It should be built in the woods.B．The essential colour of the building is green.C．It is environmentally friendly while supporting quality life.D．The maintenance of this building doesn’t consume natural resources.9．What are the advantages of using large windows in buildings from the passage?A．They are energy efficient and good for health.B．The buildings with large windows are more beautiful.C．They are good for cutting the cost of building the house.D．The occupants can have a better view with large windows.10．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 5 mean?A．Cause.B．Activate.C．Prevent.D．Remove. 11．What does the World Green Building Council do to promote green buildings?A．It sets strict regulations for construction companies.B．It certifies green buildings based on a single criterion.C．It cooperates with many groups to foster green building.D．It provides financial support for building green buildings.An early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text prompt — some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While a year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.If you’ve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you’ll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fishtank”, and the tool creates a video based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its flaws.One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence (遵守) to the user’s prompt.”But there are constraints to Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won’t last long.Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that was created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It’s perfect for creating online tutorials, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story.12．What can we infer from paragraph 1?A．ModelScope was widely praised.B．ModelScope can correctly analyse text to the users.C．Text-to-video AI received negative feedback eventually.D．Text-to-video AI has improved significantly over the past year.13．How can OpenAI’s Sora improve images?A．By recognizing the objects around.B．By creating content in various styles.C．By removing inappropriate visual patches.D．By working in the same way as ModelScope.14．What message does the last paragraph convey about invideo AI?A．It may fall out of use.B．It will be highly profitable.C．It may increase daily expenses.D．It will take ages to see the future result.15．What is the main idea of the passage?A．A great leap for creative AI.B．The functions of various AI tools.C．The limitations of OpenAI’s Sora.D．A demonstration of making a video.How to Stay Focused in ClassYou want to learn, you want to listen to your teacher, and you want to absorb all of that information in class — but it can be hard to focus on a lecture when your mind wanders. So staying focused in class is essential for effective learning. Here are some tips to help you pay attention in class.Remove distractions. If you want to concentrate in class, start by removing distractions. Physical removal is the best way to deal with distractions. 16 Or if you have a habit of using your phone, keep it in your locker.Prepare before class. Look over your homework, read your textbook, or review previous notes. This will get your brain into “class mode” and help you focus. Additionally, set up your desk or workspace before class and make sure you have everything you need. 17 Sit in the front of the class. 18 Studies show that students who sit in the front generally have better grades. Avoid sitting with friends if you’re not tempted to talk. Sitting in the front allows you to keep an eye on the teacher and board.Participate in Class. Contributing to the lesson by asking and answering questions can keep you engaged. It also signals to the teacher that you’re trying to pay attention. 19 Write down important parts of the lesson and use different colors or a highlighter to make key points stand out. You can also reorganize it after class for further research.20 Focus on the present moment and avoid daydreaming. If your mind wanders, refocus on the lesson. Create your own motivation by finding personal connections, interestingfacts, or setting small goals. Reward yourself after completing tasks. Practice paying attention through activities like meditation. If you’re struggling, talk to your teachers. They can offer personalized solutions.Taking care of your body. Getting enough sleep is crucial. Aim for 8 to 12 hours for optimal focus. Have a healthy diet with foods like leafy greens, fatty fish, berries, and nuts. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine and sugary drinks. Exercise can relieve tension and improve concentration. Try to be active between classes or during breaks.A．Practice paying attention.B．Adjust your thought patterns.C．If your mind wanders, focus on the lesson.D．Taking notes is another great way to focus.E．This can help you stay organized and ready to learn.F．A better environment can help you focus more on the lesson.G．If you know a classmate is distracting you, try sitting somewhere else.二、完形填空Matt Stutzman, a remarkable American disabled archer (弓箭手), was born on December 10, 1982 in Kansas City.He was cast aside by his 21 parents due to being born without arms.

AA great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85February 12, 2014BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated PressShirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for avery long time.【小题1】The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.A. shortenB. sweetenC. strengthenD. brighten 【小题2】Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.A. sweet and livelyB. gentle and kindC. smart and knowledgeableD. shy and attractive【小题3】What part did she regard as the most important in her life?A. A top movie star.B. A businesswoman.C. Her family role.D. Her diplomacy career.【小题4】Where does this passage possibly come from?A. A biography.B. A newspaper.C. A magazine.D. A poster.【答案】【小题1】D【小题2】A【小题3】C【小题4】B【解析】试题分析：秀兰·邓波儿于12月10号辞世，这对我们是一个巨大的损失。

ACritics’ choice: The year’s best novels. . .1 The Love Songs of W. E. B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers （Harper, $29）The novel from a celebrated poet, this 800-page work is many things at once: a moving coming- of-age story, an examination of race, and an exploration of American history. Out of curiosity about the secrets in her family, Ailey uncovers stories that trace back to her Native American, Scottish, and enslaved African-American ancestors.2 Matrix by Lauren Groff （Knopf, $28）If Matrix were written by anyone else, it would be a hard sell. But Lauren Groff has reimagined the life of 12th-century poet Marie de France so that we can’t help but stay with this royal castoff as she’s sent away, at 17, to run a poor church, which she eventually changes into a shelter for women and a challenge to the male-dominated world.3 Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro （Knopf, $28）A robot that has been programmed to be a sickly teenager’s ＂Artificial Friend, ＂Klara serves as our eyes on a troubling near future in which technological progress is pushing moral boundaries. But her outsider view allows the author of Remains of the Day, now a Nobel Prize winner, to explore what makes people irreplaceable.4 Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr （Scribner, $30）Doerr's first novel since 2014 covers several hundred years-from 1453 Constantinople to a 22nd-century ceship escaping from Earth. The book runs 640 pages, but without a wasted word. As engaging as a great bedtime story and as readable as Harry Potter, it's above all a celebration of the human spirit and its power to dream impossible dreams.21. Which book is written by a poet?A. The Love Songs of W. E.B. Du Bois. B. Matrix.C. Klara and the Sun.D. Cloud Cuckoo Land.22. What is the central theme explored in Klara and the Sun?A. Historical events.B. Pursuit of dreams.C. Human irreplaceability.D. Teenagers' friendship.23. What do the four novels have in common?A. They all cover hundreds of years.B. They are all chosen by critics.C. They are all the author's first novel.D. The main characters are all humans.BThe world of underwater slumber is unlike what we see on the surface. For mammals （哺乳动物）, a good night's sleep sends an animal into a state of unconsciousness （无知觉） during hours of restorative sleeping that helps heal the body and solidify memories firmly in the mind. For fish, however, sleep isn't such a well-defined process. Instead, many fish species have taken to spending short periods in a state of reduced activity or rest while keeping their eyes open to scan the water for potential threats. During these periods of reduced activity, a fish's bodily functions slow down and its watchfulness drops.The breadth of animals in the ocean that exhibit this type of reduced activity is widereaching. Among the hundreds of thousands of creatures in the sea, some merely ride along with the current,such as jellyfish. Others find rocky bedrooms for the night, while those such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand to rest. However, it must be really hard to get a good night's sleep when you breathe air but live in water. This is something that the world's underwater mammals have to deal with.To prevent themselves from drowning （溺死） in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dolphins and manatees have developed the ability to "turn off' one side of their brain to rest, known as unihemispheric sleep. While one side is fast asleep, the other keeps all the animal's vital functions running, such as breathing. Manatees, for example, love to sleep, spending up to 12 hours a day in a deep slumber. However, as air-breathing animals, manatees need to surface every 20 minutes or so for oxygen. To achieve this, the half of the brain that's still awake sends the sleeping manatee to the surface to get some air.24. What does the underlined word "slumber" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Rest.B. Sleep.C. Danger.D. Activity.25. Why is it hard to define sleep for fish?A. Because fish remain partially awake.B. Because fish need short resting times.C. Because fish possess no consciousness.D. Because fish pretend not to be sleeping.26. What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals?A. Hiding in sand.B. Riding the current.C. Finding spots to rest.D. Breathing while sleeping.27. How do manatees ensure their oxygen supply during sleep?A. By sleeping less.B. By adapting to the sea.C. By surfacing periodically.D. By controlling their breath.CProfessor Lum seems to be under the spell of ChatGPT, but let's not get carried away with the AI chatbot craze. While it does have some benefits, his arguments are like a leaky boat in a stormy sea- full of holes.According to Professor Lum, ChatGPT offers students a wealth of information. Sure, it's like having a walking encyclopedia （百科全书）, but learning is not about copying an answer. It's aboutthe journey of discovery. ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the opportunity to explore and learn through their own efforts. It's like awarding a participation medal for a race that hasn't even begun!He also claims that ChatGPT improves communication skills. Seriously? Chatting with an AI is not the same as having a real conversation. How can we expect students to handle the complexities of the real world if all they know is how to talk to a chatbot? Let's not turn them into socially awkward bots themselves.Oh, and let's not forget about critical thinking. Professor Lum thinks ChatGPT challenges students to think critically. But come on, folks! It's merely a machine! It's not going to teach them how to question assumptions, analyze evidence, or come up with innovative solutions. We need human interaction and lively debates for that.Lastly, Professor Lum believes ChatGPT can provide support and guidance. Again, seriously? Are we going to replace human emotions with lines of code （代码）？ ChatGPT might offer some comforting words, but it can't replace the warmth and understanding that can only be found in human interaction. Let us not abandon our students, leaving them to feel more alone and disconnected than ever before.Professor Lum's opinion regarding ChatGPT warns us against too much reliance on technology. Rather than prioritizing ChatGPT, the focus should be on developing critical thinking, promoting genuine human interaction, and emphasizing the core aspects of education.28. What is compared to a participation medal in paragraph 2?A. A walking encyclopedia.B. A journey to explore.C. A vast database.D. An answer.29. What can be inferred about ChatGPT from paragraphs 3～5?A. It is not good at socializing.B. It is a skilled critical thinker.C. It offers nothing helpful to humans.D. It forms a warm bond with humans.30. What is the author's attitude towards ChatGPT?A. Totally negative.B. Fully supportive.C. Highly skeptical.D. Quite indifferent.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To criticize a viewpoint.B. To question an authority.C. To clarify two arguments.D. To compare two chatbots.DIf there was an app on your phone that claimed to improve your memory, would you be willing to try it? It's hard to resist the idea of having a better memory. After all, our memories are delicate and can be affected by various factors such as diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and aging.In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range of accessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and even lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require. tracking a large number of objects while being distracted by a secondary task, such as mental calculations or exploring a game's landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be beneficial for individuals with brain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine the best approaches to address the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that short-term working memory training can benefit high-functioning individuals, such as college students. However, it's important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.32. In what way is the brain similar to muscles according to many researchers?A. In testing results.B. In work processes.C. In bodily functions.D. In training methods.33. What is the main feature of the typical tasks in memory training apps?A. Detailed.B. Effective.C. Demanding.D. Complicated.34. What do critics think memory training apps lack?A. Legal claims.B. Proven effects.C. Tailored services.D. Appealing concepts.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Can our memory be improved?B. Does brain training actually work?C. What have scientists found about memory?D. What does the brain training industry bring?第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASummer is finally in the air, but that doesn't mean you can't still stay in and have a great movie night. Whether you're looking for something deep and thought-provoking or light for the whole family, there are many incredible films on Netflix.The Matrix (1999)IMDb(Internet Movie Database): 8.7/10 | Runtime: 136 minutesThe Matrix is a science fiction film that stars Keanu Reeves as a hacker who discovers the world he lives in is an illusion crafted by malevolent Artificial Intelligence. The movie presents the very best in technical filmmaking, winning four Oscars. With thrilling action and a complex story, it's a must-see.American Symphony(2023)IMDb:7.9/10 | Runtime: 104 minutesEven if you just watch the trailer for American Symphony,you will be in tears.The documentary（纪录片）tells the story of Grammy winner Jon Batiste and his wife, Suleika Jaouad. It's a beautiful tale of love and resilience,with Variety Magazine calling it “one of the best love stories seen on film.”Nyad (2023)IMDb:7.1/10 | Runtime: 121 minutesAs expected from most sports dramas and biopics, Nyad shares a story of perseverance, the triumphs of determination,and a message of hope. It engages the audience with its solid foundation while entertaining through grounded drama based on reality instead of relying on cheap cliches（陈词滥调）.Society of the Snow (2023)IMDb:7.7/10 | Runtime: 144 minutesIn 1972,a Uruguayan flight crashed on the way to Chile ,and the survivors of the wreck had to work together to survive in the of the Snow.With a budget of 60 million euros, the film is the most expensive Spanish film ever made.21.For those who value online scoring, which film would be their top choice?A.The Matrix.B.American Symphony.C.Nyad.D.Society of the Snow.22. What do the last three films have in common?A.They are high-budget films.B. They are based on true stories.C.They have the duration within two hours.D. They have been successful at the box office.23.Who is the text intended for?A.Film critics.B.Film makers.C.Movie-goers.D.Cinema staff.BI used to want to be a zookeeper, but after becoming a wildlife rescue worker, I found that this work is even more valuable than I thought. Not only can I help injured wild animals, but I can also facilitate their return to the wild. We make every effort to accomplish this goal: hiding food under rocks and fallen leaves to simulate（模拟）a natural environment, or doing our best to maintain some distance from the animals and prevent them from bonding with humans.I am often asked whether I feel at all sad when it's time to release the animals-to tell you the truth, I'm always pretty willing to let them go. All of my efforts have been toward allowing them to return to the wild, and the wild iswhere they belong, so there's no reason for reluctance on my part. But it is true that sometimes there is no way for an animal to go back to the wild, or to keep it from bonding with humans.Last year, I rescued a light-vented bulbul（白头鹎）.The bird, initially lacking feathers,recovered under our care. It was scheduled for release during its adolescent period, during which it's relatively easy to socialize.But an injury to its flight feathers delayed its return to the wild.The bird imprinted on humans during the following two months,which was a critical cognitive（认知的）development period,leading it to return to us after being released.When we engage in widlife rescue ,we have to teach animals how to maintain a high degree of caution around humans. If they become too trusting of humans, it is very likely that way,our success depends not on the animals, or on our work here, but more so on the attitude humans would not be a bad thing, and our release attempt could then be successful.24.What do we know about the author's job?A. It was his initial career choice.B. It forbids close interaction with animals.C. It mainly aims to cure the injured animals.D.It involves both rescue and release efforts25. Which of the following best describes the author's feeling to release the rescued animals?A.Ambitious.B.Cheerful.C.Sorrowful.D.Anxious.26.Which is closest in meaning to “imprinted on” in paragraph 3?A.Was attached to.B.Was aware of.C.Was sensitive to.D.Was cautious of.27.What is the key to the success of wildlife rescue work?A.Animals' faith in humans.B.Human's knowledge in the work.C. Human's attitude towards animals.D. Animals' ability to survive in the wild.CRena, 18 months, is a baby worker at a Japanese nursing home, hired to brighten the days of residents whose own grandchildren may rarely visit. The infants'（婴儿）presence s meant to ease the loneliness that can come with growing older, especially in the rapidly ageing nation where a third of the population is over 65.The nursing home's director, Kimie Gondo, came up with the idea of baby workers three years ago when her own newborn granddaughter was visiting and she saw how happy it mad ethe residents. The nursing home now has about 70 baby workers strolling around the nursing home with their parents, mostly mothers.Rena and her colleagues are paid in diapers（纸尿裤）and ice cream. But those are not the only rewards. “Here she gets to interact with kids her age and also with grandfathers and grandmothers who are a bit more difficult to come across,” said Shinohara, Rena's mother,who called the nursing home residents “great life teachers”.Rena and her small colleagues work flexible hours but they don't have long in the business-having to retire before the age of three. A key requirement for the toddlers is that they should speak as little as possible. That's because older people can struggle to speak and communicate,especially if they have cognitive impairment(认知障碍）,”In order to communicata on the same level,words are unnecessary,” she added.For nursing home residents ,Gondo said ,the visits from toddlers provide the common experience of family members from multiple generations living under the same roof.“Even if they enter a facility like this ,they should be able to interact with people from various age groups on a daily basis,”she said. “I think that's only natural.”28.Why does Kimie Gondo carry out her idea in the nursing home?A.To provide jobs for mothers.B. To prevent the elderly from ageing.C. To amuse grandchildren during visits.D. To promote the well-being of residents.29. What's the extra benefit for the baby workers according to Shinohara?A.Tasty snacks.B.Parent-kid relationship.C.Daily essentials.D. Interpersonal experience.30.Why is there a restriction on retiring age of baby workers?A.Words might lessen the effect.B. Flexible hours could be guaranteed.C.Cognitive Impairment could be avoided.D.Over-aged workers have low language levels.31.Which can be the best title of this passage?A.Babies helping remove cognitive barriersB.Babies replacing caregivers in nursing homesC.Baby workers tackling loneliness of the elderlyD. Baby workers running a Japanese nursing homeDChildren exposed to videos by caregivers for their calming or “babysitting” benefits tended to use phrases and sentences with fewer words. A new study from Southern Methodist University psychologist Sarah Kucker and colleagues reveals that passive video use among children can negatively affect language development, but their caregiver's motivations for exposing them to digital media could also lessen the impact.Published in the journal Acta Paediatrica, the study involved 302 caregivers of children between 17 and 30 months. Caregivers answered questions about their child's words,sentences,and how much time they spend on different media activities each day. Those activities included video/TV, video games, video chat, and e-books, with caregivers explaining why they use each activity with their child. Print book reading was also compared.Researchers looked at the amount of media use and the reasons provided by caregivers for their children's media use. These factors were then compared to the children's vocabulary and length using two or more words together.The research reveals a negative association between high levels of digital media watching and children's vocabulary development. However, the negative impact on language skills was lessened when videos were used for educational purposes or to foster social connections-such as through video chats with family members.Kucker acknowledges that parents often use digital media to occupy children while they complete tasks. She suggests that caregivers need to consider what kind of videos and how much their children are watching, and whether they can interact with them during this period.Future research by Kucker and her colleagues will continue to explore the types of videos young children watch, how they use screens with others, and how that impacts language development.32.What is the potential impact of being exposed to videos by caregivers on children?A.It enhances their vocabulary development.B. It has no significant effect on their language skills.C. It leads to the use of shorter phrases and sentences.D. It encourages them to read print books more often.33. What do paragraph 2 and 3 tell us about the study?A.Its research process.B.Its theoretical basis.C. Its underlying logic.D. Its scientific evidence.34.Under what circumstance can the negative impact be lessened?A. When children focus on tasks.B.When children get involved in the content.C.When videos serve as entertainment.D.When videos aid learning and bond building.35.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To present the practical application of the findings.D. To discuss other affecting factors of babies' growth.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
