第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

The concept of “slow food” began in Italy in the 1980s as a direct response to the rise of fast food. It emphasizes the importance of preserving traditional and regional cuisine, using locally sourced ingredients, and enjoying food as a social and cultural experience. The movement encourages people to take time to prepare and savor meals, fostering a deeper connection to what we eat and where it comes from.

Advocates argue that slow food is not just about taste, but also about sustainability and ethics. It supports small-scale farmers and producers, promotes biodiversity by encouraging the cultivation of rare varieties of plants and animals, and reduces the environmental impact associated with long-distance transportation of food. In a world where convenience often trumps quality, the slow food movement offers a reminder of the value of mindful consumption.

16. What was the main reason for the birth of the slow food movement?

A. To improve cooking skills. B. To compete with Italian restaurants.

C. To oppose the popularity of fast food. D. To promote international cuisine.

17. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a focus of the slow food movement?

A. Protecting local food traditions. B. Using ingredients from far away.

C. Enjoying meals socially. D. Caring about food sources.

18. What does the word “sustainability” in paragraph 2 most likely mean?

A. Being able to last for a long time. B. Being very delicious.

C. Being quick to prepare. D. Being low in cost.

19. What is the author’s attitude towards the slow food movement?

A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.

B

Have you ever experienced a “tip-of-the-tongue” moment? You know the word or name, but you just can’t recall it at that instant. Psychologists call this phenomenon “lethologica”. It becomes more common as we age, but it’s a universal experience. Research suggests these moments are often triggered by similarity in sound or meaning to other words. For example, trying to remember “astronomer” might bring “astronaut” to mind instead.

While frustrating, these moments are usually harmless. To overcome them, experts recommend relaxing and shifting your focus to something else, as forcing recall can increase anxiety and block the memory further. Often, the word will pop into your head later when you’re not actively thinking about it. Keeping mentally active through reading, puzzles, and learning new skills can help keep your memory sharp and reduce the frequency of such lapses.

20. What is “lethologica”?

A. A memory game. B. A psychological disorder.

C. The tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. D. A method for learning new words.

21. What might cause a tip-of-the-tongue moment according to the text?

A. Lack of sleep. B. Similarity to other words.

C. Poor vocabulary. D. Hearing problems.

22. What is the suggested way to deal with a tip-of-the-tongue moment?

A. Keep trying hard until you remember. B. Ask someone for the answer immediately.

C. Relax and think about something else. D. Write down all the words you can think of.

23. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To describe a common experience and give advice. B. To warn about the dangers of memory loss.

C. To introduce a new scientific discovery. D. To compare different memory techniques.

C

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the job market, but contrary to popular fear, it may create more jobs than it displaces in the long run. A recent report by a global research firm indicates that while AI could automate around 20% of current tasks, it will also generate new roles that we can hardly imagine today. These roles will likely focus on managing, maintaining, and working alongside AI systems.

The key for future workers is adaptability and lifelong learning. Skills like critical thinking, creativity, complex problem-solving, and emotional intelligence are expected to become even more valuable, as they are difficult for AI to replicate. Educational systems and corporate training programs are therefore urged to evolve, placing greater emphasis on these “human” skills and on teaching people how to learn and relearn throughout their careers.

24. What is the main finding of the report mentioned in the text?

A. AI will cause massive unemployment. B. AI will mainly replace creative jobs.

C. AI will likely create new types of jobs. D. AI’s impact on jobs has been overstated.

25. What kind of new roles might AI generate?

A. Roles focused on simple, repetitive tasks. B. Roles involving working with AI systems.

C. Roles that require no technical knowledge. D. Roles that are exactly the same as today’s.

26. Which skill is considered especially valuable in the future job market according to the text?

A. Data entry speed. B. Memorization of facts.

C. Emotional intelligence. D. Operating specific machinery.

27. What is the author’s suggestion for educational systems?

A. To teach more advanced computer programming. B. To focus on skills that are hard for AI to copy.

C. To reduce the time spent on humanities. D. To prepare students for existing jobs only.
