Last Saturday, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip. I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything. Leopold is hesitant to try new things, and he has phobias (恐惧), including heights, spiders and the dark.
I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without resorting to worm-out sayings like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, including food and experiences — especially new ones.
After we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. While he was in snowboarding school, I skied by myself. On the first day, I played it safe and stuck to the long and winding easy green run. On the second day, I thought of Leopold, who, the day before, had kept to our bargain and faced his fear of heights to learn how to ride a chairlift. I challenged myself to ski, an intermediate blue run, diligent S-tums, and I made it. I was proud of myself for trying something new.
Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the lodge, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (热水澡). When I started to refuse, Leopold kept to our agreement. But it was also exciting to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
We had so much fun saying yes to everything that Leopold and I decided we should get the rest of the family — his dad and sister — on board during our spring break trip.
4. What did the author expect to do through the mom-son ski trip?
A. To learn ski skills. B. To inspire her son.
C. To give themselves a break. D. To establish a close bond.
5. What does “Yes Day” idea mean to the author and her son?
A. Following tough family rules. B. Learning much from old sayings.
C. Doing something challenging to them. D. Reviewing a movie of the same name.
6. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Sensitive and timid. B. Kind and humorous.
C. Caring and outgoing. D. Brave and adventurous.
7. What do we know from the text?
A. The author behaves better than her son. B. The family welcome the game of a Yes Day.
C. The rest of the family will take a boat trip. D. Leopold becomes willing to try new things.

At Nature Fresh Farms in Leamington, Canada, there’s something new among the rows of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and strawberries. Using thousands of sensors in every greenhouse, artificial-intelligence technology is helping the farm better aspects such as lighting, irrigation and harvest timing, aiming to increase the yields of its crops and reduce its use of power and water. Farmers use drones (无人机) to survey farms and look for information on weeds, pests and disease.
A lot of research into AI and agriculture is done at institutions, but it then needs to be tested in a network of smart farms. One of the farms is Emili’s Innovation Farms. “We really show how they work in a commercial setting and in a way are being a bit of a risk mitigator (缓和) as we try out these technologies and then share with others, including other farmers, and how they actually work as a means to accelerate the adoption and full integration of those new technologies,” said Ms. Keena, managing director of Emili.
It takes time to find out whether new technology has affected a crop, and this can be a barrier to adoption for farmers. Sometimes it’s within a year, or within a few years. Ms. Keena said, “We can’t ask them to take big risks on integrating new technologies at scale as part of their operations in things that are unproven.” Innovation Farms addresses a piece of one of the barriers of people needing to be able to see these technologies rolled out in a full-scale and commercial way ahead of being able to adopt them themselves.
Farmers’ trust levels are also a barrier. Data are important to AI models, but farmers need to be better inspired to share their data in order to make the technology better. But over time, there’s an increase in engagement from farmers. “Farmer engagement is absolutely critical” to developing AI tools for agriculture. “If they’ve seen it demonstrated essentially in their backyard through a smart farm, well, then we’re that much further ahead toward adoption.”
8. What can be learned about AI from Paragraph 1?
A. It replaces employees. B. It changes how farms run.
C. It adds vegetable diversity. D. It shortens production cycle.
9. Why is AI technology tested at Emilli’s Innovation Farms?
A. To predict its future. B. To expand its market.
C. To confirm its reliability. D. To introduce its advantage.
10. What’s the key to removing the barriers?
A. Bettering AI models. B. Developing more AI tools.
C. Enlarging the farm scales. D. Gaining farmers’ recognition.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: a promoter of farmers’ life B. AI: a driver of agricultural development
C. Smart farms: good examples about AI adoption D. Smart farms: pioneers in agricultural innovation
D
The laborious process of tracing out our thoughts, letter by letter, on the page is becoming a relic of the past in our screen-dominated world. But giving up this slower, more tactile (触知的) way of expressing ourselves may come at a significant cost.
Both handwriting and typing involve moving our hands and fingers to create words on a page. But handwriting, it turns out, requires a lot more fine-tuned coordination (协调) between the motor and visual systems. Holding a pen skillfully enough to write is a complicated task, as it requires your brain to continuously monitor the pressure that each finger apply to the pen. Then, your motor system has to delicately modify that pressure to re-create each letter of the words in your head on the page. That’s not true for typing. To type “tap” your fingers doesn’t have to trace out the form of the letters — they just make three relatively simple and uniform movements.
The clearest consequence of screens and keyboards replacing pen and paper might be on kids’ ability to learn the building blocks of literacy — letters. In kids, these visually demanding, fine motor actions, like tracing out ABCs, bake in nervous communication patterns that are really important for learning later on. Ditching (放弃) handwriting instruction could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could impair kids’ ability to learn down the road.
For adults, one of the main benefits of writing by hand is that it simply forces us to slow down. During a meeting or lecture, you can’t write everything down if you take notes by hand, which forces you to process the information, writing key words or phrases and using drawing or arrows to work through ideas. You make the information your own, which helps it stick in the brain.
However, we don’t have to ditch digital tools to embrace the power of handwriting. So far, research suggests that writing with a stylus (手写笔) on a screen activates the same brain pathways as that with ink on paper. It’s the movement that counts, not its final form.
12. What is the current situation of writing on paper?
A. It’s becoming outdated. B. It’s dominating the world.
C. It’s at risk of disappearing. D. It’s more costly than ever
13. How does the writer support his argument in paragraph 2?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving definitions.
C. By drawing conclusions. D. By introducing evidences.
14. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “bake in” in paragraph 3?
A. stick in. B. break up. C. melt away. D. warm up.
15. What does the author intend to show in the last paragraph?
A. The value of digital tools. B. The impact on brain pathways.
C. The significance of writing by hand. D. The difference between screen and paper.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Digging for dinosaurs was hot work. Benny sat back on his heels and took a long drink from his water bottle. At first, when Mom and Dad had told him they were going on a dinosaur dig for vacation, he’d been excited. He’d shown off to his friends that he’d find the skeleton (骨骼) of a never-before-discovered dinosaur.
But the real dig wasn’t at all what he’d expected. For starters, he wasn’t even digging. “No shovels (铲子)”, Dave, the paleontologist (古生物学家) in charge, told them. “Any dinosaur bones buried here should be within a couple of feet of the surface. We don’t want to risk hitting around and breaking them.” Then he’d handed out ice picks and paint brushes and showed everyone how to chip and brush away sand and dirt, slowly and carefully, a little bit at a time.
“The most important thing is knowing where to look,” Dave said. “Some rocks aren’t old enough to have dinosaur bones. Other rocks are too old. We’ve studied this area before and found lots of fossils, so I’m hopeful you’ll find some too!”
Well, that had been two days ago, and so far the most exciting thing Benny had found was that his front tooth was loose. He wiggled (扭动) it now. If he couldn’t find any dinosaur bones, at least he could show his friends back home that he’d lost another tooth.
Dave sat beside Benny. “How’s it going?” he asked.
“OK” Benny said. It didn’t seem very nice to say that he was bored. “This is pretty slow.”
Dave nodded. “Yep,” he agreed. “It’s hard work. Sometimes paleontologists and fossil hunters look for weeks without finding anything. And we hardly ever find a whole skeleton.” He added, “You know, Benny, if you’re tired of searching, you can always help someone else on the crew.”
Benny looked around the dry, rocky hillside. Dave’s assistants were busy taking photographs, drawing pictures, making charts and writing notes. Dave said it was important to take good field notes, to record exactly what you did and where you were when you looked for fossils and facts for truth.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Benny thought that he would not give up and keep looking.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Dave hurried over to look, carefully not to disturb the ground in front of Benny’s find.

Last Saturday, as my then-9-year-old son, Leopold, and I were preparing for a mom-son ski trip. I came up with a rule: We would say yes to everything. Leopold is hesitant to try new things, and he has phobias (恐惧), including heights, spiders and the dark.
I was hoping to find a way to encourage him without resorting to worm-out sayings like “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it.” So I borrowed the idea of a Yes Day, something our family has done a handful of times since watching the movie of the same name. Before the trip, Leopold and I agreed we would say yes to everything, including food and experiences — especially new ones.
After we got settled at our hotel, I took Leopold to meet his snowboarding instructor. While he was in snowboarding school, I skied by myself. On the first day, I played it safe and stuck to the long and winding easy green run. On the second day, I thought of Leopold, who, the day before, had kept to our bargain and faced his fear of heights to learn how to ride a chairlift. I challenged myself to ski, an intermediate blue run, diligent S-tums, and I made it. I was proud of myself for trying something new.
Later that afternoon, when Leopold and I were reunited back at the lodge, he asked if we could go in the outdoor hot tub (热水澡). When I started to refuse, Leopold kept to our agreement. But it was also exciting to feel the cold air on my skin, and the warm water of the hot tub felt that much better once we got in. Getting out was a different story, but the experience was a delight as Leopold and I braved it together.
We had so much fun saying yes to everything that Leopold and I decided we should get the rest of the family — his dad and sister — on board during our spring break trip.

At Nature Fresh Farms in Leamington, Canada, there’s something new among the rows of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and strawberries. Using thousands of sensors in every greenhouse, artificial-intelligence technology is helping the farm better aspects such as lighting, irrigation and harvest timing, aiming to increase the yields of its crops and reduce its use of power and water. Farmers use drones (无人机) to survey farms and look for information on weeds, pests and disease.
A lot of research into AI and agriculture is done at institutions, but it then needs to be tested in a network of smart farms. One of the farms is Emili’s Innovation Farms. “We really show how they work in a commercial setting and in a way are being a bit of a risk mitigator (缓和) as we try out these technologies and then share with others, including other farmers, and how they actually work as a means to accelerate the adoption and full integration of those new technologies,” said Ms. Keena, managing director of Emili.
It takes time to find out whether new technology has affected a crop, and this can be a barrier to adoption for farmers. Sometimes it’s within a year, or within a few years. Ms. Keena said, “We can’t ask them to take big risks on integrating new technologies at scale as part of their operations in things that are unproven.” Innovation Farms addresses a piece of one of the barriers of people needing to be able to see these technologies rolled out in a full-scale and commercial way ahead of being able to adopt them themselves.
Farmers’ trust levels are also a barrier. Data are important to AI models, but farmers need to be better inspired to share their data in order to make the technology better. But over time, there’s an increase in engagement from farmers. “Farmer engagement is absolutely critical” to developing AI tools for agriculture. “If they’ve seen it demonstrated essentially in their backyard through a smart farm, well, then we’re that much further ahead toward adoption.”
8. What can be learned about AI from Paragraph 1?
A. It replaces employees. B. It changes how farms run.
C. It adds vegetable diversity. D. It shortens production cycle.
9. Why is AI technology tested at Emilli’s Innovation Farms?
A. To predict its future. B. To expand its market.
C. To confirm its reliability. D. To introduce its advantage.
10. What’s the key to removing the barriers?
A. Bettering AI models. B. Developing more AI tools.
C. Enlarging the farm scales. D. Gaining farmers’ recognition.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: a promoter of farmers’ life B. AI: a driver of agricultural development
C. Smart farms: good examples about AI adoption D. Smart farms: pioneers in agricultural innovation
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了人工智能对农业的帮助、目前面临的障碍以及前景。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Using thousands of sensors in every greenhouse, artificial-intelligence technology is helping the farm better aspects such as lighting, irrigation and harvest timing, aiming to increase the yields of its crops and reduce its use of power and water. Farmers use drones(无人机) to survey farms and look for information on weeds, pests and disease.(在每个温室中使用数千个传感器,人工智能技术正在帮助农场改善照明、灌溉和收获时间等方面,旨在提高作物产量,减少电力和水的使用。农民使用无人机调查农场,寻找杂草、害虫和疾病的信息。)”可推测出,人工智能技术改变了农场的运营模式。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A lot of research into AI and agriculture is done at institutions, but it then needs to be tested in a network of smart farms. One of the farms is Emili’s Innovation Farms.(许多关于人工智能和农业的研究都是在机构进行的,但随后需要在智能农场网络中进行测试。其中一个农场是Emili的创新农场。)”和Emili的话“We really show how they work in a commercial setting and in a way are being a bit of a risk mitigator(缓和) as we try out these technologies and then share with others, including other farmers, and how they actually work as a means to accelerate the adoption and full integration of those new technologies(我们真的展示了它们在商业环境中是如何工作的,在某种程度上,当我们尝试这些技术并与包括其他农民在内的其他人分享时,它们在一定程度上是一种风险缓减器,以及它们是如何作为一种手段来加速这些新技术的采用和全面整合的)”可知,由于需要在智能农场中测试人工智能,所以选择了Emili的创新农场,结合Emili的话可推知,在Emili的创新农场测试人工智能是为了证实其可靠性。故选C。
10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It takes time to find out whether new technology has affected a crop, and this can be a barrier to adoption for farmers.(需要时间来确定新技术是否影响了作物,这可能会成为农民采用的障碍。)”“We can’t ask them to take big risks on integrating new technologies at scale as part of their operations in things that are unproven.(我们不能要求他们在未经证实的事情上大规模整合新技术,作为其运营的一部分。)”、最后一段中的“Farmers’ trust levels are also a barrier.(农民的信任程度也是一个障碍。)”“If they’ve seen it demonstrated essentially in their backyard through a smart farm, well, then we’re that much further ahead toward adoption.(如果他们看到它基本上是通过一个智能农场在他们的后院展示的,那么我们在采用方面就走得更远了。)”可推测出,我们不能让农民在未经证实的事情上大规模运用这种新技术,但通过在智能农场上展示这种技术,可以促进农民采用,由此可推测出,想办法获取农民的认可是消除障碍的关键。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段介绍了人工智能对农业运行模式的改善;第二段介绍了在智能农场测试人工智能技术的效果;第三、四段讲述了人工智能在农业运用方面的障碍以及前景。由此可推测出,本文围绕人工智能对农业发展的推进展开,B项“人工智能:农业发展的驱动力”最适合作本文标题。故选B。

The laborious process of tracing out our thoughts, letter by letter, on the page is becoming a relic of the past in our screen-dominated world. But giving up this slower, more tactile (触知的) way of expressing ourselves may come at a significant cost.
Both handwriting and typing involve moving our hands and fingers to create words on a page. But handwriting, it turns out, requires a lot more fine-tuned coordination (协调) between the motor and visual systems. Holding a pen skillfully enough to write is a complicated task, as it requires your brain to continuously monitor the pressure that each finger apply to the pen. Then, your motor system has to delicately modify that pressure to re-create each letter of the words in your head on the page. That’s not true for typing. To type “tap” your fingers doesn’t have to trace out the form of the letters — they just make three relatively simple and uniform movements.
The clearest consequence of screens and keyboards replacing pen and paper might be on kids’ ability to learn the building blocks of literacy — letters. In kids, these visually demanding, fine motor actions, like tracing out ABCs, bake in nervous communication patterns that are really important for learning later on. Ditching (放弃) handwriting instruction could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could impair kids’ ability to learn down the road.
For adults, one of the main benefits of writing by hand is that it simply forces us to slow down. During a meeting or lecture, you can’t write everything down if you take notes by hand, which forces you to process the information, writing key words or phrases and using drawing or arrows to work through ideas. You make the information your own, which helps it stick in the brain.
However, we don’t have to ditch digital tools to embrace the power of handwriting. So far, research suggests that writing with a stylus (手写笔) on a screen activates the same brain pathways as that with ink on paper. It’s the movement that counts, not its final form.
12. What is the current situation of writing on paper?
A. It’s becoming outdated. B. It’s dominating the world.
C. It’s at risk of disappearing. D. It’s more costly than ever
13. How does the writer support his argument in paragraph 2?
A. By making comparisons. B. By giving definitions.
C. By drawing conclusions. D. By introducing evidences.
14. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to “bake in” in paragraph 3?
A. stick in. B. break up. C. melt away. D. warm up.
15. What does the author intend to show in the last paragraph?
A. The value of digital tools. B. The impact on brain pathways.
C. The significance of writing by hand. D. The difference between screen and paper.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了在以屏幕为主宰的时代,书写正在成为过去,但其实书写具有打字所没有的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The laborious process of tracing out our thoughts, letter by letter, on the page is becoming a relic of the past in our screen-dominated world.(在屏幕主导的世界里,逐字逐句地在页面上记述我们想法的艰苦过程正在成为过去的遗迹。)”可知,在纸上书写正在消失。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But handwriting, it turns out, requires a lot more fine-tuned coordination (协调) between the motor and visual systems. Holding a pen skillfully enough to write is a complicated task, as it requires your brain to continuously monitor the pressure that each finger apply to the pen. Then, your motor system has to delicately modify that pressure to re-create each letter of the words in your head on the page. That’s not true for typing. To type “tap” your fingers doesn’t have to trace out the form of the letters — they just make three relatively simple and uniform movements.(但事实证明,手写需要运动和视觉系统之间更精细的协调。熟练地握笔写字是一项复杂的任务,因为它需要你的大脑不断监测每个手指对笔的压力。然后,你的运动系统必须巧妙地调整压力,在页面上重新创建你脑海中的每个单词。打字不是这样的。要键入“tap”,你的手指不必找出字母的形式——它们只需要做三个相对简单而均匀的动作。)”可知,作者比较了手写和打字两种形式的不同,由此可知,这里使用了比较的方式。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In kids, these visually demanding, fine motor actions, like tracing out ABCs, bake in nervous communication patterns that are really important for learning later on. Ditching (放弃) handwriting instruction could mean that those skills don’t get developed as well, which could impair kids’ ability to learn down the road.(对于孩子们来说,这些视觉要求很高的精细运动动作,比如勾画出ABC等字母,会bake in对以后学习非常重要的神经交流模式。放弃手写教授可能意味着这些技能没有得到很好的发展,这可能会损害孩子们未来的学习能力。)”可知,放弃手写教授会使得一些技能无法培养起来,影响到神经交流模式的发展,可得出神经交流模式的发展与手写能力有关,说明像手写这样视觉要求很高的精细运动动作,其影响刺入了以后对学习非常重要的神经交流模式的发展中,bake in与stick in(刺入)意思接近。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, we don’t have to ditch digital tools to embrace the power of handwriting. So far, research suggests that writing with a stylus (手写笔) on a screen activates the same brain pathways as that with ink on paper. It’s the movement that counts, not its final form.(然而,我们不必抛弃数字工具来拥抱手写的力量。到目前为止,研究表明,在屏幕上用手写笔写字会激活与在纸上用墨水写字相同的大脑通路。重要的是运动,而不是它的最终形式。)”可推测出,作者认为我们不需要抛弃数字工具,无论是在屏幕上还是纸上,手写都对人有好处,强调了手写的意义。故选C。

第二节(满分25分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Digging for dinosaurs was hot work. Benny sat back on his heels and took a long drink from his water bottle. At first, when Mom and Dad had told him they were going on a dinosaur dig for vacation, he’d been excited. He’d shown off to his friends that he’d find the skeleton (骨骼) of a never-before-discovered dinosaur.
But the real dig wasn’t at all what he’d expected. For starters, he wasn’t even digging. “No shovels (铲子)”, Dave, the paleontologist (古生物学家) in charge, told them. “Any dinosaur bones buried here should be within a couple of feet of the surface. We don’t want to risk hitting around and breaking them.” Then he’d handed out ice picks and paint brushes and showed everyone how to chip and brush away sand and dirt, slowly and carefully, a little bit at a time.
“The most important thing is knowing where to look,” Dave said. “Some rocks aren’t old enough to have dinosaur bones. Other rocks are too old. We’ve studied this area before and found lots of fossils, so I’m hopeful you’ll find some too!”
Well, that had been two days ago, and so far the most exciting thing Benny had found was that his front tooth was loose. He wiggled (扭动) it now. If he couldn’t find any dinosaur bones, at least he could show his friends back home that he’d lost another tooth.
Dave sat beside Benny. “How’s it going?” he asked.
“OK,” Benny said. It didn’t seem very nice to say that he was bored. “This is pretty slow.”
Dave nodded. “Yep,” he agreed. “It’s hard work. Sometimes paleontologists and fossil hunters look for weeks without finding anything. And we hardly ever find a whole skeleton.” He added, “You know, Benny, if you’re tired of searching, you can always help someone else on the crew.”
Benny looked around the dry, rocky hillside. Dave’s assistants were busy taking photographs, drawing pictures, making charts and writing notes. Dave said it was important to take good field notes, to record exactly what you did and where you were when you looked for fossils and facts for truth.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Benny thought that he would not give up and keep looking.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Dave hurried over to look, carefully not to disturb the ground in front of Benny’s find.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Benny thought that he would not give up and keep looking. After all, he had come a long way and spent so much time and effort on this project. He knew that the dinosaur bones were out there, buried in the ground, waiting to be found. And he was determined to find them. So he continued to probe the ground, looking for any signs of the ancient creatures. When he needed a break, he wiggled his loose tooth. Suddenly, his tooth dropped out of his mouth. As he stared down at the dirt to look for it, he shouted excitedly, “My tooth! My dinosaur tooth! I found a real, live dinosaur tooth!”
Dave hurried over to look, carefully not to disturb the ground in front of Benny’s find. After examining it, Dave said, “It’s a tooth all right!” “What kind is it?” Benny asked curiously. “Is it a tyrannosaur? Apatosaurus? Triceratops?” Dave laughed, but he kept studying the fossil in the ground. “Well, Benny,” he finally said, “I’ve seen a lot of dinosaur teeth, but this one’s different. I think you may have found one we haven’t seen before. Good job!”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Benny和父母选择假期去挖掘恐龙,但这项工作并没有想象中的那般容易,Benny寻找了好久都没有任何发现。但他没有放弃,最终发现了一颗恐龙的牙齿。
【详解】1. 续写线索:
①由续写第一段首句“Benny认为他不会放弃,继续寻找。”可知,第一段可以描写Benny寻找的过程以及最后有所发现。
②由续写第二段首句“Dave赶紧跑过去看,小心翼翼地不去打扰Benny面前的地面。”可知,第二段可以描写Dave确认了Benny的发现。
2. 段落续写:Benny继续寻找——牙齿脱落掉地——Benny在低头时发现了一颗恐龙牙齿——Dave前去确认——Dave证实了Benny发现了真正的恐龙化石
3. 词汇激活

①决定做:be determined to do…/decide to do…
