He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for. Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive. After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free___________________________4___________________________. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures. Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition. 4. In what way was this expedition different for Larry? A. His daughter had grown up. B. He had become a famous diver. C. His father would dive with him. D. His daughter would dive with him. 5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. Larry had some privileges. B. Larry liked the rented diving suits. C. Divers had to buy diving equipment. D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive. 6. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes? A. To protect himself from danger. B. To dive into the deep water. C. To admire the underwater view. D. To take photos more conveniently. 7. What did Larry expect his daughter to do? A. Become a successful diver. B. Make a good diving guide. C. Take a lot of photos underwater. D. Have longer hours of training. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【分析】本文属于记叙文。著名的潜水专家Larry回忆自己第一次潜水的事情，并叙述了他带着自己10岁的女儿继承家族传统开始了潜水之旅。 【4题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old.”（他决定带着女儿一起去。她只有十岁。）可知，这次探险的特别之处在于，他要带着10岁的女儿一起进行深海探险。故D正确。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。本题可以利用排除法。根据第二段的“Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them.”（拉里开始是从岸边的一家小潜水店租潜水衣起家的。他恨他们。）可知，他不喜欢外租的潜水衣，所以B项错误。根据第4句“Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop”可知，他只要租潜水衣就可以了，不需要购买。故C错误。根据本段最后一句“Children his age were not even allowed to dive.”可知，10岁的孩子是不被允许去潜水的。故D错误。同时其他10岁的孩子不能潜水，但是他却可以，正说明他有特权。故A正确。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him.”（危险地区并没有阻止他继续搜寻。有时，他被限制在水下的笼子里，但这并不困扰他。）可知，水下有很多危险的事物，为了保护他，他会被放在笼子里。但是这并没有阻止他拍摄很多美丽的照片。故A正确。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第的“He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.”（他希望她能延续这个家族传统。）可知，他希望自己的女儿能够延续家族的传统，也就是成为成功的潜水者。故A正确。 C To us humans, climate change feels like something that's happening to the atmosphere, but actually about 90% of the heat that gets trapped by greenhouse gases is absorbed by the ocean. Of course, the ocean is really big, and taking its temperature is hard. Now, however, scientists have developed a technique that allows them to measure temperature changes across the entire ocean basins. The idea dates back to the 1970s, when researchers first proposed using sound waves to study ocean warming, because the speed of sound through water depends on the physical properties (性质) of the water, which are related to temperature. “And roughly speaking, if we warm up the ocean by one degree Celsius, the sound speed will change — it will be four meters per second. And this is a very sensitive change,” said Wenbo Wu, a seismologist at Caltech, who led the study. Researchers originally proposed using artificial sound sources, but that proposal got arrested because of concerns about the impacts on marine animals. In the new study, however, Wu and his colleagues showed they could use the sounds produced by earthquakes instead. In an earthquake, some vibrations (震动) bounce off the seafloor and turn into sound waves that get picked up by a special machine and underwater microphones. The researchers looked at the travel time of these sound waves in 2.000 pairs of earthquakes that occurred in the Indian' Ocean between 2005 and 2016. Each pair of earthquakes happened in the same place but at different times, allowing the researchers to measure how much the sound waves sped up. The analysis revealed that the waves traveled a few tenths of a second faster in more recent quakes than in older ones — a difference that translates to a warming trend of 0.04 degrees Celsius per decade. “0.04 degrees Celsius may not sound like a lot, but it represents a huge amount of heat-considering it's the change in a body of water almost 2,000 miles wide and several miles deep,” said Wu. 8. What does the underlined part "a technique" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Trapping greenhouse gases. B. Using artificial sound waves. C. Measuring the depth of the ocean. D. Employing the sounds of the quake. 9. What is crucial for the study? A. The sea is vast enough. B. The statistics are accurate. C. The equipment is advanced. D. Each pair of earthquakes is conditional. 10. What did the researchers find in the new study? A. The sound waves slowed down with time. B. The ocean temperature went up in the past decade. C. The speed change of sound waves was considerable. D. 2,000 pairs of earthquakes occurred in the same place. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Warming: A Booster of Climate Change B. Seaquake Sound Waves: A Tracker of Ocean Warming C. Sound Waves: An Initiative in Studying Ocean Animals D. Ocean Basins: Where Earthquakes Frequently Happen 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家开发出的一种可以测量整个海洋盆地的温度变化的技术——海底地震声波，并详细介绍了他们发现该技术的过程。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词a technique的句子“Now, however, scientists have developed a technique that allows them to measure temperature changes across the entire ocean basins.(然而，现在科学家们开发了一种技术，可以测量整个海洋盆地的温度变化。)”以及第三段“Researchers originally proposed using artificial sound sources, but that proposal got arrested because of concerns about the impacts on marine animals. In the new study, however, Wu and his colleagues showed they could use the sounds produced by earthquakes instead. In an earthquake, some vibrations (震动) bounce off the seafloor and turn into sound waves that get picked up by a special machine and underwater microphones.(研究人员最初提议使用人工声源，但由于担心对海洋动物的影响，该提议被阻止。然而，在新的研究中，吴和他的同事们表明他们可以用地震产生的声音来代替。在地震中，一些振动从海底反弹并变成声波，被一种特殊的机器和水下麦克风接收。)”可知，划线词此处指代后文的“科学家发现的可以测量海洋盆地温度变化的技术为利用地震震动的声音”，故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Each pair of earthquakes happened in the same place but at different times, allowing the researchers to measure how much the sound waves sped up.”（每对地震都发生在同一地点，但发生的时间不同，这使得研究人员可以测量声波加速了多少。）可知，每对地震若满足发生在同一地点，不同时间，就有利于研究人员测量声波加速的程度，进而测量出海洋温度的变化，故每一对地震都是有条件的，故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The analysis revealed that the waves traveled a few tenths of a second faster in more recent quakes than in older ones—a difference that translates to a warming trend of 0.04 degrees Celsius per decade. "0.04 degrees Celsius may not sound like a lot, but it represents a huge amount of heat-considering it's the change in a body of water almost 2,000 miles wide and several miles deep," said Wu.”（分析显示，最近的地震中地震波的传播速度比以前地震中地震波的传播速度快了零点几秒——这一差异意味着每十年变暖0.04摄氏度。吴表示，“0.04度听起来可能不是很多，但这是一个近2000英里宽、几英里深的水体的变化”。）可知，水体每十年变暖0.04摄氏度，这代表了巨大的热量。所以海洋温度在十年间上升了，故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, however, scientists have developed a technique that allows them to measure temperature changes across the entire ocean basins.(然而，现在科学家们开发了一种技术，可以测量整个海洋盆地的温度变化。)”可知，文章开头就表明现在科学家们开发了一种技术，可以测量整个海洋盆地的温度变化。接下来就对该技术进行解释说明。第二段“The idea dates back to the 1970s, when researchers first proposed using sound waves to study ocean warming(这个想法可以追溯到20世纪70年代，当时研究人员首次提出用声波来研究海洋变暖。)”，第三段表明研究人员最初提议使用人工声源，但由于担心对海洋动物的影响，该提议被阻止，之后在新的研究中，发现可以用地震产生的声波来代替。最后一段表明海洋温度升高。所以这篇文章主要是说可以通过海底地震即海啸产生的声波来研究海洋变暖，故B项“海啸声波：海洋变暖的追踪者”符合文章标题，故选B项。 D AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza. As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. 12. What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2? A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging. 13. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to? A. Using AI tools to do the translation. B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction. C. Making effort to learn a new language. D. Studying a language aided by technology. 14. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with? A. People should stretch their minds in life. B. AI translation tools offer a good service. C Extreme endurance sports are worth trying. D. Language learning builds deep connection. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Language learning benefits learners alone. B. Language learning is of value to human health. C. We should reflect on language learning methods. D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在人工智能可以降低学习外语的必要性这一议题上，一部分人充满担心，认为这会让一些重要的东西消失，有些人则因为没有对语言的需求而不那么担心。人工智能翻译的普及同时也会将人分化成两部分，一部分人会挑战自己继续学习语言，另一部分人则会选择不再学习。文章指出不应该仅从学习者的角度看待语言学习，其本身的内在价值更值得关注。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句的上文“Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. (长期以来，旅行一直是学习的动力——除非人们开始觉得人工智能工具提供了足够好的服务)”可知，此处介绍人工智能工具对人们学习语言的动力的负面影响。由此推知，划线词所在句表示“一些人会担心应用程序正在把语言学习变成一种越来越少的追求”，dwindling意思应该是“越来越少的”，与declining意思一致。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? (作家Douglas Hofstadter认为，当人们通过机器交谈时，一些重要的东西将会消失。他描述了用普通话做一次犹豫的、困难的演讲，需要做很多工作，但最后会有一种成就感。谁会炫耀自己坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰呢？)”可知，Douglas Hofstadter的描述突出了学习语言伴随着的挑战自我、战胜自我的成就感，但是人们通过机器交谈的话，就无法体会这种感觉。由此可知，“坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰”就好比“使用人工智能工具进行翻译”，前者缺失的是参与登山带来的成就感，后者缺失的是参与语言学习带来的成就感。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” (其他人会带着钦佩和困惑看待学习一门新语言，就像他们看待极限耐力运动一样：‘如果你喜欢的话，对你来说很好，但对我来说有点痛苦。’)”可知，这一类人会认为学习一门新语言令人钦佩，但是不适合自己，没有必要尝试。由此可知，他们会同意“人工智能翻译工具提供了很好的服务”的观点。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. (但是，仅仅关注学习者就忽略了语言的基本社会性质。这有点像分析亲密关系对心脏健康的好处，但忽视了这些关系本身的内在价值。当你试图用蹩脚的日语问路或用犹豫的德语讲笑话时，你是在与某人直接接触。当你的语言说得足够好，可以用完美的时机讲述一个故事，或者在一个论点上添加微妙的细微差别，这种联系就会更深。)”可知，我们不能仅关注学习者，语言本身的内在价值更值得关注，学习语言会加深我们与他人之间的联系。由此可知，我们应该从新的角度看待语言学习。故选D项。 第二节 （共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A gym membership can be nice. ___16___ All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. But before everything, you need to create an at-home fitness routine. Spend 5 to 10 minutes warming up before every workout. Not sure what to do? Try jumping jacks, leg or arm circles, or even dancing. Just get your blood pumping. Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. ___17___ Do strength training twice a week to build muscles. Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). ___18___ This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. ___19___ You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. You might drop your run into a walk or slow down your cycling, for instance. Set achievable goals that you can break into smaller tasks. It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. ___20___ It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. Then, break down the goal into small, actionable steps so it feels like you’re making progress regularly. A. After all, we work out to build our muscles. B. Equipment is the key to carrying out a workout plan. C. But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. D. For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. E. Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. F. Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. G. Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何制定一个居家健身的计划。 【16题详解】 前文“A gym membership can be nice. (健身会员卡是不错的选择)”指出有健身会员卡是不错的，后文“All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself. (你所需要的只是在家里给自己一点时间和空间)”说明在家锻炼也很好，因此C项“But you don’t have to have one to get into great shape. (但你不一定非要有一个才能保持好身材)”符合语境，说明健身会员卡并非保持好身材的必需品，和前文构成转折，引出后文的观点，其中的one指代前文的A gym membership。故选C。 【17题详解】 前文“Do a progressive aerobic (有氧的) activity that uses the same muscles you want to work out. (做一个循序渐进的有氧运动，使用你想锻炼的肌肉)”建议循序渐进地开展有氧运动，因此D项“For instance, slowly jog if you are going for a longer run. (例如，如果你要跑地更远，就慢慢地跑)”符合语境，举出有氧运动中跑步的例子，承接前文的建议。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“Strength training, also called resistance training, makes you stronger and builds endurance (忍耐力). (力量训练，也称为阻力训练，使你更强壮，培养耐力)”介绍力量训练的概念和作用，后文“This helps you do a harder workout every time you exercise. (这有助于你在每次锻炼时都能进行更难的锻炼)”指出一个做法的好处，因此G项“Try to do exercises that work many parts of your body and make you feel stronger. (试着做一些锻炼身体各个部位的运动，让你感觉更强壮)”符合语境，建议如何做力量训练，承接前文的介绍，引出后文的好处，后文的This指代选项内容。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“You might be eager to just stop your workout when you’ve finished your last set of activity, but take a few minutes to do low-intensity exercises that lower your heart rate. (当你完成最后一组运动时，你可能急于停止锻炼，但是花几分钟做一些低强度的运动，降低你的心率)”可知，本段建议在最后做低强度的运动，因此E项“Spend five to ten minutes cooling down after each workout. (每次锻炼后花5到10分钟做放松练习)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的cooling down和后文的low-intensity exercises呼应。故选E。 20题详解】 前文“It’s one thing to say you want to get fit, but that means something different for everyone. (说你想健身是一回事，但这对每个人来说都意味着不同的东西)”指出健身实际上因人而异，后文“It should be specific, realistic, and meaningful. (它应该是具体的、现实的、有意义的)”说明一个事物的标准，因此F项“Figure out what you plan to achieve and make that your goal. (弄清楚你计划实现什么，并把它作为你的目标)”符合语境，建议设定自己的目标，承接前文，引出后文的标准，后文的It指代其中的your goal。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Rodney started mowing (割草) yards for free in 2015 to help neighbors in his community, including senior citizens, single parents and individuals with disabilities.

This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for. Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive. After the first expedition Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free___________________________4___________________________. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures. Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition. 4. In what way was this expedition different for Larry? A His daughter had grown up. B. He had become a famous diver. C. His father would dive with him. D. His daughter would dive with him. 5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. Larry had some privileges. B. Larry liked the rented diving suits. C. Divers had to buy diving equipment. D. Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive. 6. Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes? A. To protect himself from danger. B. To dive into the deep water. C. To admire the underwater view. D. To take photos more conveniently. 7. What did Larry expect his daughter to do? A. Become a successful diver. B. Make a good diving guide. C. Take a lot of photos underwater. D. Have longer hours of training. C To us humans, climate change feels like something that's happening to the atmosphere, but actually about 90% of the heat that gets trapped by greenhouse gases is absorbed by the ocean. Of course, the ocean is really big, and taking its temperature is hard. Now, however, scientists have developed a technique that allows them to measure temperature changes across the entire ocean basins. The idea dates back to the 1970s, when researchers first proposed using sound waves to study ocean warming, because the speed of sound through water depends on the physical properties (性质) of the water, which are related to temperature. “And roughly speaking, if we warm up the ocean by one degree Celsius, the sound speed will change — it will be four meters per second. And this is a very sensitive change,” said Wenbo Wu, a seismologist at Caltech, who led the study. Researchers originally proposed using artificial sound sources, but that proposal got arrested because of concerns about the impacts on marine animals. In the new study, however, Wu and his colleagues showed they could use the sounds produced by earthquakes instead. In an earthquake, some vibrations (震动) bounce off the seafloor and turn into sound waves that get picked up by a special machine and underwater microphones. The researchers looked at the travel time of these sound waves in 2.000 pairs of earthquakes that occurred in the Indian' Ocean between 2005 and 2016. Each pair of earthquakes happened in the same place but at different times, allowing the researchers to measure how much the sound waves sped up. The analysis revealed that the waves traveled a few tenths of a second faster in more recent quakes than in older ones — a difference that translates to a warming trend of 0.04 degrees Celsius per decade. “0.04 degrees Celsius may not sound like a lot, but it represents a huge amount of heat-considering it's the change in a body of water almost 2,000 miles wide and several miles deep,” said Wu. 8. What does the underlined part "a technique" in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Trapping greenhouse gases. B. Using artificial sound waves. C. Measuring the depth of the ocean. D. Employing the sounds of the quake. 9. What is crucial for the study? A. The sea is vast enough. B. The statistics are accurate. C. The equipment is advanced. D. Each pair of earthquakes is conditional. 10. What did the researchers find in the new study? A. The sound waves slowed down with time. B. The ocean temperature went up in the past decade. C. The speed change of sound waves was considerable. D. 2,000 pairs of earthquakes occurred in the same place. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Ocean Warming: A Booster of Climate Change B. Seaquake Sound Waves: A Tracker of Ocean Warming C. Sound Waves: An Initiative in Studying Ocean Animals D. Ocean Basins: Where Earthquakes Frequently Happen D AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza. As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. 12. What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2? A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging. 13. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to? A. Using AI tools to do the translation. B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction. C. Making effort to learn a new language. D. Studying a language aided by technology. 14. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with? A. People should stretch their minds in life. B AI translation tools offer a good service. C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying. D Language learning builds deep connection. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Language learning benefits learners alone. B. Language learning is of value to human health. C. We should reflect on language learning methods. D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning. 第二节 （共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A gym membership can be nice. ___16___ All you need is a little bit of time and space at home for yourself.
