In a tech-driven world, Caine Monroy, a young inventive talent, stood out with his imagination and cleverness, proving that a cardboard box and a dream can produce something extraordinary.
It began in 2011 when nine-year-old Caine spent his summer vacation at his father’s car parts store in East Los Angeles. With few friends to play with he found joy in making a cardboard game room with games like basketball goals, a toy-catching machine, and soccer. His creativity was endless, and he ran his game room with passion, charging $1 for two turns or $2 for a Fun Pass with 500 turns.
Despite his creativity and hard work, at first, few people pay attention to Caine’s game room, due to its location with little foot traffic. However, Caine believed that one day he’d have customers. His game room was too good for people not to enjoy. He kept working every day, building, improving, and making it better. Then a documentary filmmaker, Nirvan Mullick, discovered the game room and was impressed by Caine’s determination, leading to a short film about him. The documentary “Caine’s game room” became popular on social media, reaching all over the world and inspiring many to value imagination and creativity.
The documentary became popular, and suddenly, Caine’s game room became a widely big success. Hundreds of people lined up at the car parts store, eager to experience the wonder of the cardboard game room. The small, one-dollar games that once sat unnoticed and overlooked now attracted attention from all corners of the globe. It has also become an inspiration for teachers who use the concept for STEAM lessons and summer projects.
Caine’s popularity as a speaker comes from his remarkable experience, with six Forbes features and over 250,000 media impressions worldwide. He has given two Ted X Talks and is preparing for a third. His speaking activities have taken him to famous events like the Cannes Lions Festival and locations including New York, San Francisco, USC, and the White House, all before his 18th birthday.
Currently, Caine is studying at college and writing his first show book. He remains a popular speaker and is a role model for many young individuals, inspiring them to welcome their creativity.

Extreme weather events, such as tornadoes, can cause widespread damage to forests, leading to environmental and financial losses. When trees fall during these storms, ecosystems might be influenced, increasing forest management costs. As climate change worsens, severe storms are expected to become more frequent, making it important to understand how forests respond to wind stress.
While previous studies have explored how trees react to wind, it is unclear whether these responses remain the same across different forest configurations. With this aim, a team of researchers led by Associate Professor Kana Kamimura, tested how trees move under various forest arrangements and weather conditions, including how trees withstand wind.
The research aims to explain how winds directly impact trees and how trees reduce the stress from wind to survive. To achieve this, researchers set up two experimental areas of cedar trees, in November 2017. In the first plot, P-100 was made up of 3,000 trees per hectare, creating a thick forest. In the second plot, P-50, half of the trees were removed for this research, leaving 1,500 trees per hectare. Over two years, the team watched 24 trees in the dense (密集的) area and 12 in the thinned area, using tools to track the range of trees movement during various wind conditions. The tracking period included many typhoons, such as Typhoon Trami, in 2018, which caused significant damage to the thinned plot.
The researchers found that cedar trees show two completely different swaying patterns depending on wind speed. In light winds, the trees swayed at around 2 to 2.3 cycles per second, with their branches taking in much of the wind energy, protecting the trunks and roots from wind stress. However, at higher wind speeds, the trees changed to a slower swaying pattern of 0.2 to 0.5 cycles per second. In this case, the whole tree swayed together, changing force across the trunk and roots, increasing the probability of breakage or uprooting.
Interestingly, the change between these two swaying patterns occurred at different wind speeds, depending on the forest density. In the dense area, the trees switched patterns at wind speeds between 1.79 and 7.44 meters per second. In contrast, in the thinned plot, the change occurred at slightly lower wind speeds, ranging from 1.57 to 5.63 meters per second.
This study offers valuable understanding for balancing thinning with wind resistance in forest management to support long-lasting forestry practices, and help forests go through extreme climate changes.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The results of the previous studies. B. The practical reasons for the research.
C. The potential effects of extreme weather. D. The challenges brought by climate changes.
29. What does the underlined word “configurations” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Areas. B. Sizes. C. Types. D. Layouts.
30. What can we infer from the study conducted by the researchers
A. The trees tend to sway more violently as the wind becomes stronger.
B. The branches of trees took in most of the wind energy in strong wind.
C. Planting trees in a thinned pattern can help protect trees from storms.
D. Trees in thinned plots change their swaying pattern in lighter winds.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To call on people to plant more trees in thinned area.
B. To raise people’s awareness of environment protection.
C. To offer ideas for a more reasonable forest management.
D. To compare the different swaying patterns of trees in storms.

This article was written by a human being, but AI technology that can automatically create text is on the rise in many areas. As people depend on such things, ensuring correct and clear responses and information to their users becomes important. Many familiar tools, including ChatGPT and others, appear very fluent in whatever they deliver, but their responses often include made-up content they produce and cannot be fully trusted. Users unfamiliar with the topic may mistakenly accept incorrect information, especially since AI presents responses with confident tones.
“You can’t fail to notice how some AI systems can explain clearly while still producing often significant errors,” Professor Takamitsu Watanabe from the International Research Center for Neurointelligence (WPI-IRCN) told the reporter. “But what struck my team and me was a similarity between this behavior and that of people with Wernicke’s aphasia (失語癥), where such people speak fluently but don’t always make much sense. That caused us to wonder if the way these AI systems work could be similar to those of the human brain affected by aphasia, and if so, what the reminders might be.”
To explore this idea, the team used a method called energy landscape analysis, a technique originally developed by physicists seeking to visualize (視覺化) energy states, but which was recently adapted for neuroscience. They examined patterns in resting brain activity from people with different types of aphasia and compared them to internal data from several publicly available large language models (LLMs). And in their analysis, the team did discover some striking similarities. The way digital information or signals are moved around and guided within these AI models closely matched the way some brain signals behaved in the brains of people with certain types of aphasia, including Wernicke’s aphasia.
“You can imagine the energy landscape as a surface with a ball on it. When there’s a curve (彎曲), the ball may roll down and come to rest, but when the curves are shallow, the ball may roll around everywhere,” Watanabe explained. “In aphasia, the ball represents the person’s brain state. In LLMs, it represents the continuing signal pattern in the model based on its instructions and internal dataset.”
The research has several reminders. For neuroscience, it offers a possible new way to group and track conditions like aphasia based on internal brain activity rather than just visible signs. For AI, it could lead to better testing tools that help engineers improve the structure of AI systems from the inside out. Though, despite the similarities the researchers discovered, they strongly advised not to make too many assumptions.
32. Professor Watanabe compares AI systems with aphasia patients to show .
A. AI systems can explain clearly
B. AI and aphasia brains are alike
C. it is hard to improve AI system
D. aphasia brains are affected by AI
33. What can we learn from professor Watanabe’s research
A. LLMs have copied human thinking process.
B. Aphasia patients can be cured for its obvious signs.
C Language signals are guided to certain area of brains.
D. Problems occur during the process of signal moving.
34. What would be the best title for the passage
A. AI Overconfidence Mirrors Human Brain Condition
B. AI Structure Reflects How Human Brain Develops
C. AI Improvement Follows Human Brain Research
D. AI System Reshapes Human’s Way of Speaking

Impostor syndrome is the feeling that people have when they doubt their abilities, even when they have been successful or have received praise. They worry that one day, everyone will realize they are faking(假冒)it. It was first described in 1978, when researchers observed it in successful businesswomen. However, it can affect people of all sexes and careers. Studies estimate that 82% of people experience it at some point in their lives.____35____For example, women working in fields with male majorities or minority students often suffer from it.
People with impostor syndrome have some shared characteristics.____36____When they succeed, they frequently credit their success to luck rather than their skills. Many are also uncomfortable receiving praise and often work harder than necessary to prove their worth.
Many factors can contribute to impostor syndrome.____37____Children with controlling or overprotective parents often develop these feelings later in life. Starting something new like a job or school program, can also cause impostor syndrome since people may be short of experience in their new roles.
The good news is that people can take several approaches to overcome it. One method is to talk about your doubts with others. Sharing your feelings reduces loneliness and allows others to remind you of your true abilities.____38____Save positive feedback from others and track your achievements to serve as reminders whenever doubt arises.
____39____Focus on progress rather than excellence. When you make mistakes, view them as chances to learn instead of proof that you are a fake. Joining support groups can also help you realize that you are not alone in the fight against impostor syndrome. Remember that feeling like an impostor doesn’t mean you are one. By using these strategies to overcome impostor syndrome, you may stop feeling like a fake and truly enjoy your success.
A. Another useful strategy is to stop trying to be perfect.
B. Self-awareness can turn impostor syndrome into a growth tool.
C. Research suggests that family upbringing plays an important role.
D. High achievers in senior positions are more likely to experience it.
E. They tend to be individuals who aim to be perfect in everything they do.
F. It is also important to celebrate your successes instead of overlooking them.
G. It is especially common among people who feel different from their age-mates.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。
There are countless metaphors for memory. It’s a leaky bucket, a steel trap, a paper container, and words written in sand. But have you ever thought that our memories are a lot like a Lego Tower: It’s built from the ground up, then broken down, put away in bins and rebuilt in a slightly different form each time it’s taken out. Psychologists Ciara Greene and Gillian Murphy explain this metaphor in their new book, Memory Lane.
Perhaps the comparison speaks to me because I have watched my kids create amazing villages of Lego bricks, only to be taken apart, put away and reconstructed, always with a similar overall structure but with little and occasionally major changes.
Memory works this way, too, Greene and Murphy think. “As we walk down Memory road, the buildings we pass — our memories of individual events — are under repeated reconstruction,” Greene and Murphy write.
In easy-to-understand writing, the book covers a lot of ground, from how we form memories to how delicate (精致的) those memories really are. Readers may find it interesting to learn how bad we all are at remembering why we did something, from small choices, like buying an album, to important ones. People change their reasoning — or at least, their memories of their reasoning — on these sorts of events all the time.
Modern difficult situations also come up, such as whether fake news and AI videos have particular influence our memories or even create false ones. Don’t panic, the authors write. Digital fakes can influence memories, sure.
Greene and Murphy offer another comforting message again and again: Our memories can be wrong and imperfect, but these are features, not problems. These imperfections are a product of a flexible memory system that allows us to learn from the past, plan for the future and respond to unexpected events. Forgetting may make our brains more efficient by removing unnecessary details so we can focus on the important memories. It may even keep us happier by allowing time to ease the painful experiences, the authors write. “We suggest accepting it just the way it is — imperfections and all.”

【44題答案】
【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to tell you about our school’s “Green Sprout Initiative”. It was founded in 2018 by Ms. Li, a biology teacher, aiming to raise students’ environmental awareness and make our campus greener.
We have various activities. Every Friday afternoon, we organize tree-planting and flower-growing in the school garden. We also hold workshops on recycling, teaching students to sort waste and reuse materials. Last month, we launched a “No Plastic” campaign, encouraging everyone to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones.
It’s a meaningful club where we learn to protect the environment together. Do you have similar clubs in your school
Yours,
Li Hua
