My phone rang after I boarded a plane. It was my PhD adviser calling to tell me there were identified flaws in the paper I had just published in Nature. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique(评论)were demanding a retraction(撤回). That day I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions—disbelief, embarrassment, frustration.
After the plane landed, I immediately read the critique myself, which was harsh and thorough, pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data. The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues, but many were harshly critical of my work.I was depressed, wondering what this would mean for my career.
I wrote a response, correcting the apparent errors in the data set. When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation to my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.
The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I know it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions.
The reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work.
24. What happened to the author before the plane took off
A. He was filled with a mix of negative emotions.
B. His career was influenced by the errors in his paper.
C. His published paper was retracted because of some flaws.
D. He was informed some errors were found in his published paper.
25. What does the underlined word “fallout” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Consequence. B. Conflict. C. Solution. D. Shame.
26. Why was the author’s resignation refused
A. He admitted the mistakes frankly. B. He treated the mistakes seriously.
C. He made the mistakes unintentionally. D. He corrected the mistakes carefully.
27. Which words can best describe the author
A. Bold and strict. B. Humble and responsible.
C Open and critical. D. Ambitious and hardworking.
C
“One more viewer, one less fraud victim.”With this slogan, a new Chinese film—“No More Bets”—has become a hit by tackling the issue of rampant(猖狂的) overseas cybercrimes.
Inspired by tens of thousands of real fraud cases across China, the movie offers a profound insight into the complex web of overseas cyber fraud, featuring realistic description of the industry’s inner workings.
No More Bets, directed by ShenAo, starred by ZhangYixing, JinChen and other actors revolves around a group of individuals who are tempted by lucrative(赚钱的) overseas job offers, only to fall into the trap of an overseas fraud scheme. They finally find themselves trapped in fraud factories, but are forced to engage in criminal activities to survive. The film unfolds from the perspectives of criminals, victims, and the police.
Online fraud has grown rampant in China over the last few years. According to the Xinhua News Agency,authorities resolved around 464,000 cases of telecommunications and online fraud in 2022, arresting 351 gang leaders and key members of criminal groups. Additionally, the Cyberspace Administration of China blocked799,000 overseas websites involved in fraud and 38,000 IP addresses. Recent data from the Chinese Anti-FraudCenter reveals that younger generations are now the primary target of online fraud. Despite being well-educated,many lack the necessary caution to be careful about increasingly complicated online scams(骗局).
At the same time, No More Bets led to widespread debate about overseas cyber fraud on social media, where dozens of people shared their experiences of being tricked by lucrative job offers. Many viewers also praised the film for educating people and helping prevent others from being cheated. It’s not one of those films where fans are just promoting it for box office numbers. It’s going to have a lasting social impact and pro found significance.
28. What can we learn about the movie
A. The plot is based on a true fraud case in China.
B. The movie is the first to dig deeply about cybercrimes.
C. The victims have to give in to the criminals to survive.
D. The movie is developed focusing on the angle of the police.
29. Why does the author list some statistics in paragraph 4
A. To illustrate criminals’ scams.
B. To show government’s effort.
C. To reveal the severe situation.
D. To prove the movie’s importance.
30. What makes the movie praised by many viewers
A. Its great story and quality.
B. Its educational significance.
C. Its high box office numbers.
D. Its famous director and stars.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Be Cautious about Overseas Cybercrimes
B. One More Viewer, One Less Fraud Victim
C. The Success of Chinese Anti-Fraud Movies
D. No More Bets:China’s New Runaway Hit Film

Today, being freelancers (自由职业者) is one of the most powerful trends in the way we work. According to a current study, there are 70.4 million freelancers in the US. By 2028, this number will increase to 90.1 million, or54% of the workforce, basically divided equally between genders.
It would appear to be solid guidance in today’s modern workforce to tell some one who wants the “3Fs”— flexibility, fulfillment, and financial independence — to “just go freelance”, right The large numbers and data support this direction and suggest that it could be regarded as safe and wise advice.
However, telling someone who is unhappy in their current professional situation to “just go freelance”, is like telling them to climb Mt Qomolangma without oxygen: 5% of climbers have succeeded, so it can be done, but there will be hardship and a much higher chance of failure. Just as one should weigh the risks of attempting to climb the 8848.86m mountain without essential supplies, the idea of being freelancers must be truly understood.
The number is increasingly growing, however, actually three quarters of self-described freelancers in the USare part-time, meaning the vast majority are using freelance work as a side hustle (副业). What’s more, research shows that 70% of full-time freelancers participated in upskilling training. Besides, more than half (58%) of freelancers have experienced non-payment from clients, and most do not have retirement plans or affordable health insurance. Many freelancers fail after the first year as a result of making avoidable mistakes with only a third making it.
We can’t simply tell people to “just go freelance” unless we also tell them to invest in training and cooperate with like-minded, supportive communities to strengthen industry rights before they start their journey to the summit as an individual, but never alone.
32. Which of the following is NOT a benefit as a freelancer
A. Flexible schedule.
B. Safer environment.
C. Less financial reliance.
D. A sense of achievement.
33. Why does the author mention “Mt Qomolangma” in paragraph3
A. To indicate a bright future of freelancers.
B. To show the determination of freelancers.
C. To highlight the challenge of reaching the top.
D. To emphasize the importance of weighing risks.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing number of freelancers
A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Understandable. D. Ambiguous.
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Most of the freelancers meet with failure.
B. Many Americans choose to be freelancers.
C Being a freelancer is not as easy as imagined.
D. Going freelance brings us a promising future.

“Where is papa going with that axe (斧子) ”Said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
“Out to the hoghouse (猪圈),”replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t see why he needs an axe,” continued Fern, who was only eight.
“Well, ”said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (发育不良的小动物). It’s very small and weak, and it will never amount to anything. So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“Do away with it ” shouted Fern. “You mean kill it Just because it’s smaller than the others ”
“Don’t yell, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.”
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled springtime. Fern’s shoes were wetting by the time she caught up with her father.
“Please don’t kill it! It’s unfair,” she said.
Mr. Arable stopped.
“Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.”Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the axe and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
“Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a group of pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble.”
“But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small. If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me ”
Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. A little girl is one thing, a little runty pig is another.”
“There is no difference,” replied Fern, still hanging on to the axe. “This is the most terrible case of injust ice Iever heard of.”

W: No. But I have learned it for many years and I really work hard at it.
M: Well, I always handed in my homework on time and joined an English club, but I just made little progress. I’d like to attend university in Britain next year. What do you think would help with my English
W: Firstly, you can try reading some English newspapers. Secondly, try to talk to foreigners as much as possible, though sometimes it’s hard. Lastly, if I were you, I’d like to talk to the English teacher who might have some good ideas.
M: To tell the truth, I often read English newspapers and have also asked my teacher for help. You’re right. I do need to communicate more with native English speakers. Thank you very much.
W: Not at all. Well, don’t forget to come to my house tonight and watch an English movie together.
M: OK.

【详解】W: The airy 123F Lounge sits on the top floor of the Lotte World Tower in Seoul, 555 meters above ground. The tower is the tallest building in the country and the fifth tallest building in the world, according to its official site. After buying an entry ticket—KRW27,000 (roughly $20) for adults, and KRW24,000 (roughly$18) for children, visitors enter a waiting hall, full of blue light as whales swim across a giant screen on the ceiling. Several different rooms follow—some with opportunities for professional photos, others displaying the building materials that make up the tower before a puzzling series of whale-themed spaces. Each floor offers different attractions, such as small cafes on the 119th and 122nd floors. There’s the SkyDeckon the 118th floor, with a glass floor that lets you see all 478 meters between your shoes and the street far below. There’s the Sky Terrace on the 120th floor, an outdoor balcony with a perfect view of the winding Han River. Finally, visitors reach the restaurant on the 123rd floor. The restaurant is both large and pleasant, with lamps on each table and comfortable chairs. Windows make up an entire wall, stretching up to the high ceiling to flood the space with warm light during sunset. However, the menu is on the expensive side.

My phone rang after I boarded a plane. It was my PhD adviser calling to tell me there were identified flaws in the paper I had just published in Nature. My stomach dropped as he told me the authors of the critique(评论)were demanding a retraction(撤回). That day I spent the 16-hour flight processing a mix of emotions—disbelief, embarrassment, frustration.
After the plane landed, I immediately read the critique myself, which was harsh and thorough, pointing out several fundamental flaws in our methods and in the basic data. The fallout was swift and intense. I received a flood of emails and messages. Some were from supportive colleagues, but many were harshly critical of my work.I was depressed, wondering what this would mean for my career.
I wrote a response, correcting the apparent errors in the data set. When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation to my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.
The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I know it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions.
The reality is that retractions are a necessary part of the scientific process—and one that shouldn’t be viewed only through a negative lens. Retractions can also be an opportunity to learn and improve. Honest mistakes happen, and researchers should be encouraged, not punished, for doing the right thing and retracting flawed work.
24. What happened to the author before the plane took off
A. He was filled with a mix of negative emotions.
B. His career was influenced by the errors in his paper.
C. His published paper was retracted because of some flaws.
D. He was informed some errors were found in his published paper.
25. What does the underlined word “fallout” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Consequence. B. Conflict. C. Solution. D. Shame.
26. Why was the author’s resignation refused
A. He admitted the mistakes frankly. B. He treated the mistakes seriously.
C. He made the mistakes unintentionally. D. He corrected the mistakes carefully.
27. Which words can best describe the author
A. Bold and strict. B. Humble and responsible.
C. Open and critical. D. Ambitious and hardworking.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了作者发表的研究论文被发现错误而不得不退回，但这件事也让作者明白了退回错误是科学过程中必不可少的部分，不应该消极地看待它，因为它也是一个学习和提高的机会。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My phone rang after I boarded a plane. It was my former PhD adviser calling to tell me an article had just been posted that identified errors in a paper we’d published in Nature. (我登上飞机后，电话响了。是我的前博士顾问打电话告诉我，刚刚发表了一篇文章，指出了我们在《自然》杂志上发表的一篇论文中的错误。)”可知，在飞机起飞前，作者被告知他发表的论文中发现了一些错误。故选D。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“I received a flood of emails and messages. (我收到了大量的电子邮件和信息。)”可知，作者下飞机后收到了大量的电子邮件和信息，由此可推测出，这篇文章被指出错误所带来的后果非常迅速而强烈。fallout意为“后果”与A项：Consequence(结果，后果)意思最接近。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“He didn’t accept it, saying a resignation wasn’t needed considering the errors in the paper were honest mistakes.(他不接受，说考虑到论文中的错误是无心的错误，不需要辞职。)”可知，部门领导认为作者没必要辞职，因为论文中的错误是无心之失，即作者不是故意犯错的。故选C。

When it became clear that the retraction was unavoidable, I formally offered my resignation to my department head.(我写了一篇回复，纠正了数据集中明显的错误。当我意识到撤稿不可避免时，我正式向部门主管提出辞职)”以及倒数第二段“The experience helped me grow as a scientist. I know it is better to be open and accountable, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself to know everything as a scientist and my work will be stronger if I seek out diverse expertise and opinions. (这段经历帮助我成长为一名科学家。我知道开诚布公、负责任更好，即使这意味着承认错误。作为一名科学家，我不能期望自己什么都知道，如果我寻求不同的专业知识和意见，我的工作将会更加强大)”可知，作者对论文中被发现的错误及时纠正和承担责任，是非常的谦虚和负责的。故选B。

“One more viewer, one less fraud victim.”With this slogan, a new Chinese film—“No More Bets”—has become a hit by tackling the issue of rampant(猖狂的) overseas cybercrimes.
Inspired by tens of thousands of real fraud cases across China, the movie offers a profound insight into the complex web of overseas cyber fraud, featuring realistic description of the industry’s inner workings.
No More Bets, directed by ShenAo, starred by ZhangYixing, JinChen and other actors revolves around a group of individuals who are tempted by lucrative(赚钱的) overseas job offers, only to fall into the trap of an overseas fraud scheme. They finally find themselves trapped in fraud factories, but are forced to engage in criminal activities to survive. The film unfolds from the perspectives of criminals, victims, and the police.
Online fraud has grown rampant in China over the last few years. According to the Xinhua News Agency,authorities resolved around 464,000 cases of telecommunications and online fraud in 2022, arresting 351 gang leaders and key members of criminal groups. Additionally, the Cyberspace Administration of China blocked799,000 overseas websites involved in fraud and 38,000 IP addresses. Recent data from the Chinese Anti-FraudCenter reveals that younger generations are now the primary target of online fraud. Despite being well-educated,many lack the necessary caution to be careful about increasingly complicated online scams(骗局).
At the same time No More Bets led to widespread debate about overseas cyber fraud on social media, where dozens of people shared their experiences of being tricked by lucrative job offers. Many viewers also praised the film for educating people and helping prevent others from being cheated. It’s not one of those films where fans are just promoting it for box office numbers.

D. The movie is developed focusing on the angle of the police.

C. To reveal the severe situation.
D. To prove the movie’s importance.
30. What makes the movie praised by many viewers

Today, being freelancers (自由职业者) is one of the most powerful trends in the way we work. According to a current study, there are 70.4 million freelancers in the US. By 2028, this number will increase to 90.1 million, or54% of the workforce, basically divided equally between genders.
It would appear to be solid guidance in today’s modern workforce to tell some one who wants the “3Fs”— flexibility, fulfillment, and financial independence — to “just go freelance”, right The large numbers and data support this direction and suggest that it could be regarded as safe and wise advice.
However, telling someone who is unhappy in their current professional situation to “just go freelance”, is like telling them to climb Mt Qomolangma without oxygen: 5% of climbers have succeeded, so it can be done, but there will be hardship and a much higher chance of failure. Just as one should weigh the risks of attempting to climb the 8848.86m mountain without essential supplies, the idea of being freelancers must be truly understood.
The number is increasingly growing, however, actually three quarters of self-described freelancers in the USare part-time, meaning the vast majority are using freelance work as a side hustle (副业). What’s more, research shows that 70% of full-time freelancers participated in upskilling training. Besides, more than half (58%) of freelancers have experienced non-payment from clients, and most do not have retirement plans or affordable health insurance. Many freelancers fail after the first year as a result of making avoidable mistakes with only a third making it.
We can’t simply tell people to “just go freelance” unless we also tell them to invest in training and cooperate with like-minded, supportive communities to strengthen industry rights before they start their journey to the summit as an individual, but never alone.
32. Which of the following is NOT a benefit as a freelancer
A. Flexible schedule.
B. Safer environment.
C. Less financial reliance.
D. A sense of achievement.
33. Why does the author mention “Mt Qomolangma” in paragraph3
A To indicate a bright future of freelancers.
B. To show the determination of freelancers.
C. To highlight the challenge of reaching the top.
D. To emphasize the importance of weighing risks.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing number of freelancers
A. Concerned. B. Supportive. C. Understandable. D. Ambiguous.
35. What’s the main idea of the text
A. Most of the freelancers meet with failure.
B. Many Americans choose to be freelancers.
C. Being a freelancer is not as easy as imagined.
D. Going freelance brings us a promising future.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者对做自由职业者的看法并给出了建议。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“However, telling someone who is unhappy in their current professional situation to “just go freelance”, is like telling them to climb Mt Qomolangma without oxygen: 5% of climbers have succeeded, so it can be done, but there will be hardship and a much higher chance of failure. Just as one should weigh the risks of attempting to climb the 8848.86m mountain without essential supplies, the idea of being freelancers must be truly understood. (然而，告诉那些对目前的职业状况不满意的人“去做自由职业者吧”，就像告诉他们在没有氧气的情况下攀登珠穆朗玛峰：5%的登山者成功了，所以这是可以做到的，但会有困难，失败的可能性要高得多。就像一个人应该权衡在没有必要补给的情况下攀登8848.86米高的山峰的风险一样，作为自由职业者的想法必须得到真正的理解)”以及第四段中“Besides, more than half(58%) of freelancers have experienced non-payment from clients, and most do not have retirement plans or affordable health insurance. Many freelancers fail after the first year as a result of making avoidable mistakes with only a third making it. (此外，超过一半(58%)的自由职业者经历过客户不付款的情况，大多数人没有退休计划或负担得起的医疗保险。许多自由职业者在第一年就失败了，因为只有三分之一的人犯了可以避免的错误)”可推知，作为自由职业者没有更安全的环境。故选B。

Many freelancers fail after the first year as a result of making avoidable mistakes with only a third making it. (这个数字还在不断增长，然而，实际上在美国，自称为自由职业者的人中有四分之三是兼职的，这意味着绝大多数人都把自由职业作为副业。更重要的是，研究表明70%的全职自由职业者参加了技能提升培训。此外，超过一半(58%)的自由职业者经历过客户不付款的情况，大多数人没有退休计划或负担得起的医疗保险。许多自由职业者在第一年就失败了，因为只有三分之一的人犯了可以避免的错误)”可推知，作者认为，有关自由职业者增长的统计数据有危险的误导性，作者很担忧。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“We can’t simply tell people to “just go freelance” unless we also tell them to invest in training and cooperate with like-minded, supportive communities to strengthen industry rights before they start their journey to the summit as an individual, but never alone. (我们不能简单地告诉人们“做自由职业者”，除非我们也告诉他们投资培训，并与志同道合的、支持他们的社区合作，在他们以个人身份开始他们的峰会之旅之前，加强行业权利，但绝不能独自一人)”可知，作者主要分析了从事自由职业所面临的种种困难和挑战，探讨了从事自由职业是否是一种明智的选择，告诫大家成为一名自由职业者并不像想象中那么容易，对此发表了自己的看法并给出了建议。故选C。

“Where is papa going with that axe (斧子) ”Said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
“Out to the hoghouse (猪圈),”replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t see why he needs an axe,” continued Fern, who was only eight.
“Well, ”said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (发育不良的小动物). It’s very small and weak, and it will never amount to anything. So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“Do away with it ” shouted Fern. “You mean kill it Just because it’s smaller than the others ”
“Don’t yell, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.”
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled springtime. Fern’s shoes were wetting by the time she caught up with her father.
“Please don’t kill it! It’s unfair,” she said.
Mr. Arable stopped.
“Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.”Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the axe and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
“Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a group of pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble.”
“But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small. If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me ”
Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. A little girl is one thing, a little runty pig is another.”

He placed it on his daughter’s chair and walked to the sink to wash his hands.
When Fern saw her father back with a box, her eyes were shining with excitement. As she approach edit carefully, the box wobbled, and there was a scratching noise. Then she lifted the lid of the box. There inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig. It was a white one. The morning light shone through its ears, turning them pink. “He’s yours”, said Mr. Arable. “And may the good Lord forgive me for this foolishness.” On hearing it, she jumped delightedly and kissed her father and mother, knowing that her insistence on justice had saved the little pig from death.
