Making it to 100 years old is a big achievement on its own, but being active at that age is absolutely worthy of praise and admiration. Jayne Burns, who just turned 101 years old, still has a part-time job at a craft store in Ohio, drives herself to work, and simply doesn’t see herself retiring anytime soon. Not only does she seem to love keeping busy, but she credits it as one of her secrets to living a long life.
Burns first caught the internet’s attention on TikTok. There, her coworker Maggie HusVar told her followers about her then 98-year-old friend. Maggie then asked Burns to share a piece of advice with her new fans, to whom Burns said, “Keep moving.”
The senior woman recently celebrated her 101st birthday, and she certainly hasn’t changed her mind about slowing down. Burns took the job in 1997 after her husband died, and has expressed that she enjoys what she does, so she wants to keep doing it. “I’ll work for as long as I can or as long as they’ll have me,” she said.
In celebration of her milestone birthday, Burns recently shared some more tips for a long life. “I was always active all my life doing things. So I think that has helped more than anything.” As a cancer survivor, she said she used to watch her sugar intake, but she doesn’t anymore, as she loves sweets. Despite her age, she still follows a beauty routine. “I use a moisturizer(保湿霜) and makeup. I figured I did it all my life, so I’m ‘not’ going to stop now,” she says.
Overall, her top secret for a long life is to make friends and find happiness in the company of others. “It’s important to find people who are friendly and kind.” she says. “I enjoy talking to everybody I work with, and meeting the customers who are very nice, even if some of them are surprised to see me at the cutting table.”

Exhausted, Jia Ling ate five packs of chocolate cookies alone at night by her bed after wrapping up filming for her new film YOLO that day. “Recalling that moment, I felt so great, like a tired soldier claiming the spoils of war,” she said.
By then, she had lost an incredible 50 kilograms, and her entire image had changed. The chubby (胖乎乎的), round and cute comedian Jia Ling was gone, replaced by a cool, muscular warrior.
Audiences were shocked by her appearance on Chinese New Year’s Day, Feb.10, when the film was first released. Jia had kept everything so secretive, avoiding public appearances for a year, that her new look was only revealed when she appeared on the big screen. Conversations about her high-intensity weight loss training, along with her courage and determination, have become trending topics across China, propelling the film’s box office earnings.
YOLO, which stands for “you only live once,” is the theme Jia aims to tell in her new film. The story follows an overweight, depressed woman who becomes isolated from society. However, after meeting a boxing coach and taking up the sport, she begins to regain her passion and finds her way in life. The filming was divided into five stages. Jia had to gain 20 kilograms at first for the role, moving on to the final stage when she lost a significant amount of weight and became muscular. This method mirrors what some Hollywood stars, such as Christian Bale, have done, but Jia’s effort is jaw-dropping and takes it to an even more extreme level.
Yet, the film’s core goes beyond physical transformation. “This film is not about weight loss, nor is it much about boxing. It’s a film that tells the story of how a kind person finds her true self and learns to love herself,” Jia said.
8. What does the underlined word “propelling” in Paragraph 3 mean

D. A woman’s discovery of self-love and acceptance.
11. What message does Jia want to convey through the movie
A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. It’s never too late to change. D. Don’t cry over spilled milk.

Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. Now, there is a new way we get the news: computer-created news readers.
Recently, China’s Xinhua launched(推出)the world’s first AI news presenters with the Chinese search engine Sogou. The news readers created by machine learning technology are based on two real-life newsmen. One is able to present newscasts in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese.
Machine learning is used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen, which look and sound like real people. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China’s latest progress in voice recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis. But several experts suggested that the term Al does not correctly describe abilities of the robotic news readers.
On social media, many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real. People blamed them for not being more lifelike. Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.
Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations. Britain’s BBC recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages. The London-based company that developed the system says its goal is to “remove the language barrier” for many different kinds of video across the Internet.
12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1
A. Introduce the topic of the text. B. Summarize the different opinions.
C. Add some data about the AI presenters. D. Compare different ways of getting news.
13. What is the machine learning technology used to do
A. To bring newscasts up to date every hour.
B. To help AI presenters speak more fluently.
C. To keep AI presenters from making any mistakes.
D. To ensure images and sounds are like those of real persons.
14. What are some people worried about when AI presenters were launched
A. Robots will rule over the world in the end.
B. Robots will eventually replace human all over.
C. Robots may endanger most people’s health.
D. Robots may threaten some people’s employment.
15. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. BBC has done similar experiments as Xinhua does.
B. BBC has removed the language barrier in newscasts.
C. BBC shows interest in Xinhua’s AI news presenters.
D. BBC’s news readers can explore different technologies.

词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Conversations about her high-intensity weight loss training, along with her courage and determination, have become trending topics across China, propelling the film’s box office earnings.”（关于她的高强度减肥训练，以及她的勇气和决心，已经成为中国的热门话题，propelling影片的票房收入。）可知，《热辣滚烫》这部电影中的内容已经在中国成为了热门话题，这就会促使越来越多的人前往影院观看电影，从而推动票房收入，故“propelling”意为“推动、驱使”。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Conversations about her high-intensity weight loss training, along with her courage and determination, have become trending topics across China,”（关于她的高强度减肥训练，以及她的勇气和决心，已经成为中国的热门话题，）中的“courage and determination”和文章内容可知，贾玲为了拍摄电影，先是增肥20公斤，最终又通过一年的高强度的减肥训练，成功减重50公斤，并成为一个肌肉发达的拳击选手，这是需要有坚定的决心和勇气的。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段贾玲说的话“This film is not about weight loss, nor is it much about boxing. It’s a film that tells the story of how a kind person finds her true self and learns to love herself,”（这部电影不是关于减肥的，也不是关于拳击的。这部电影讲述了一个善良的人如何找到真实的自我，学会爱自己。）可知，《热辣滚烫》这部电影主要是讲述了一个女人学会了如何接受自己并爱自己。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“YOLO, which stands for “you only live once,” is the theme Jia aims to tell in her new film.”（YOLO的意思是“你只能活一次”，这是贾在新片中想要表达的主题。）和最后一段贾玲的话“This film is not about weight loss, nor is it much about boxing. It’s a film that tells the story of how a kind person finds her true self and learns to love herself,”（这部电影不是关于减肥的，也不是关于拳击的。这部电影讲述了一个善良的人如何找到真实的自我，学会爱自己。）和影片内容可知，贾玲通过这部电影，告诉观众人只能活一次，要学会爱自己，为了自己好好努力，改变自己，让自己更加优秀，一切都来得及，改变永远不会太晚。故选C。

Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Many people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. Now, there is a new way we get the news: computer-created news readers.
Recently, China’s Xinhua launched(推出)the world’s first AI news presenters with the Chinese search engine Sogou. The news readers created by machine learning technology are based on two real-life newsmen. One is able to present newscasts in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese.
Machine learning is used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen, which look and sound like real people. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China’s latest progress in voice recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis. But several experts suggested that the term Al does not correctly describe abilities of the robotic news readers.
On social media, many Chinese noted that the AI presenters did not seem real. People blamed them for not being more lifelike. Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low-level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines.
Some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations. Britain’s BBC recently released a video that used machine learning to make it look like one of its news readers speaking different languages. The London-based company that developed the system says its goal is to “remove the language barrier” for many different kinds of video across the Internet.
12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1
A. Introduce the topic of the text. B. Summarize the different opinions.
C. Add some data about the AI presenters. D. Compare different ways of getting news.
13. What is the machine learning technology used to do
A. To bring newscasts up to date every hour.
B. To help AI presenters speak more fluently.
C. To keep AI presenters from making any mistakes.
D. To ensure images and sounds are like those of real persons.
14. What are some people worried about when AI presenters were launched
A. Robots will rule over the world in the end.
B. Robots will eventually replace human all over.
C. Robots may endanger most people’s health.
D. Robots may threaten some people’s employment.
15. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. BBC has done similar experiments as Xinhua does.
B. BBC has removed the language barrier in newscasts.
C. BBC shows interest in Xinhua’s AI news presenters.
D. BBC’s news readers can explore different technologies.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. A

62. ________(lose) in thought, he almost ran into a car. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Lost
【解析】

【答案】has been translated
【解析】
【详解】考查动词语态、主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，这部小说已经被翻译成多种语言。结合So far可知，translate“翻译”这一动作开始于过去，持续到现在，并将继续持续下去，由此可知，句子时态应用现在完成时，动词translate与主语this novel之间是动宾关系，因而需用现在完成时的被动语态，又因主语this novel是第三人称单数，所以助动词用has。故填has been translated。
