W: Oh, that’s interesting, because this hotel is usually for tourists and business people.

The gym will be filled with musical instruments for every student to try. When you find an instrument you like, find Ms. Johnson on the other side of the room and tell her your name and what instrument you would like to play in the band. Playing an instrument is a great learning opportunity. Learning to play an instrument teaches you how to practice and how to read music. Many of our students have gone on to play in their high school bands. If you would like to play an instrument in the band, your parents have to pay $50 per year. This fee is due next week. It is for the music books, the cleaning supplies, and the instrument rental (租赁). If you play the guitar, the fee is $10 more because the strings (弦) are very expensive. If you are not able to pay the fee but you would still like to play an instrument this year, please visit Ms. Johnson’s office.

Last July 26, at around 11 p. m., an emergency message on the Facebook page caught Callie Clemens’ eye. A tiny black puppy had been spotted running across a road in Spring Branch. Howls had been heard from inside a nearby drain, so there was likely one puppy stuck down there.
Clemens drove to the scene. Once there, she heard desperate cries from underground echoing through the pipes. She grabbed a flashlight from her car and got down. “I was not expecting to go into the drain,” Clemens says. But puppies were down there. “Somebody’s got to do it.”
After lowering herself roughly 7 feet down the drain, Clemens crawled through a tunnel before reaching an area where she could crouch and search. “I heard splashing.” Clemens says. She pointed her flashlight and saw “two sets of eyes looking at me”. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, workers from the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrived and joined Clemens in the drain. They worked until 3 a. m., trying to track down the dogs. But they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen.
Clemens was not about to give up. Although venturing down a storm drain is terrifying, Clemens says, “It would never resonate with me to know that I left an animal in there to starve and suffer.” She went home for a few hours of sleep, then went straight back to the drain, joined by several volunteers, including a local engineer who drew a map of the drain system.
After several hours of searching, they finally found one tiny black pup. However, one dog was still left underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times to look for it, even leaving food, some of which had been eaten. But the fact that Clemens had stopped hearing the dog’s howls made her confident that the puppy found its way out.
24. Why did Callie Clemens drive to the scene?
A. To save a puppy. B. To explore a tunnel.
C. To control a noise. D. To fix a pipe.
25. What made Callie Clemens decide to go into the drain again?
A. The interest in drain system. B. The encouragement from workers.
C. Her sympathy for animals. D. Her curiosity about the puppies.
26. What convinced her that the other dog escaped?
A. The untouched food. B. The hand- drawn map.
C. The disappearance of barks. D. The message from volunteers.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Callie Clemens?
A. Kind and determined. B. Brave and demanding.
C. Smart and encouraging. D. Honest and adventurous.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了凯丽·克莱门斯不顾危险和害怕,到下水道去救一只小狗的故事。
【24题详解】

She grabbed a flashlight from her car and got down. “I was not expecting to go into the drain,” Clemens says. But puppies were down there. “Somebody’s got to do it.”(克莱门斯开车去了现场。一到那里,她就听到从地下传来的绝望的呼喊声回荡在管道里。她从车里抓起手电筒,下了车。“我没想到会掉进下水道,”克莱门斯说。但是小狗在下面。“总得有人去做。”)”可知,她开车前往的目的是为了拯救小狗。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Clemens was not about to give up. Although venturing down a storm drain is terrifying, Clemens says, “It would never resonate with me to know that I left an animal in there to starve and suffer.”(克莱门斯并不打算放弃。虽然冒险进入排水沟是可怕的,但克莱门斯说:“知道我把一只动物留在那里挨饿受苦,我永远不会同意。”)”可知,出于对小狗的同情心让凯丽·克莱门斯决定再次跳进下水道。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But the fact that Clemens had stopped hearing the dog’s howls made her confident that the puppy found its way out.(但克莱门斯不再听到狗的嚎叫,这让她确信小狗找到了出路)”可知,是因为狗叫声停止了,所以凯丽·克莱门斯确信被困的小狗已经逃出。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Clemens was not about to give up.

C
If you’ve never slept in socks, you might want to give it a try.
Sleeping in socks helps to regulate your body temperature, which can lead to falling asleep faster, waking up less, and sleeping in later, according to research. When your core body temperature is regulated, it makes for better sleep, sleep disorders specialist Breus said.
Temperature plays a role in quality sleep. A drop in core body temperature signals to the body that it’s time to sleep and occurs alongside the release of melatonin — the sleep hormone. Experts suggest keeping your bedroom between 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit for ample sleep.
Wearing socks and sleeping in a cool room could be the perfect pairing for a high quality night of rest. If you wear socks to sleep, ensure they aren’t so tight that they restrict blood flow, wrote Breus. It’s important the socks are comfortable so they don’t become a sleep distraction. Breus also suggested they be made of breathable fabric s like cotton, linen, or bamboo. And you should opt for a fresh, clean pair, not the ones you wore all day, sleep therapist Michelle Drerup said.
While sleeping in socks is worth a try to get better rest, it’s not a cure-all. If you feel a sensory overload sleeping in socks, research suggests that putting your feet in a warm water bath before bed can give a similar effect. Also, socks aren’t a treatment for insomnia or other sleep problems — you should talk to a medical professional for ongoing issues. And people with circulation (循环) issues should not sleep with socks without talking to their doctor first. Besides, there are other ways to step up your sleep routine, and wake up better rested.
28. What can be inferred from Breus’s opinions?
A. Core body temperature depends on socks. B. Comfortable socks are a sleep cure- all.
C. A better night rest improves blood flow. D. The selection of socks is significant.
29. What does the phrase “a sensory overload” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A complete relaxation. B. A strong stimulation.
C. A sense of security. D. A sense of relief.
30. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The function of sleeping in socks. B. The body temperature in sleep.
C. Melatonin’s role in sleep. D. Methods to regulate sleep.
31. What will be talked about next in the passage?
A. The necessity of medical consultations. B. Additional ways to improve sleep quality.
C. The choice of suitable sleepwear materials. D. The impact of room temperature on sleep patterns.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文的主要内容是穿袜子睡觉的功能和好处。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Sleeping in socks helps to regulate your body temperature, which can lead to falling asleep faster, waking up less, and sleeping in later, according to research. When your core body temperature is regulated, it makes for better sleep, sleep disorders specialist Breus said.(研究表明,穿袜子睡觉有助于调节体温,从而更快入睡、醒得更少、睡得更晚。睡眠障碍专家布鲁斯说:当你的核心体温得到调节时,你会睡得更好。)”可知,袜子的选择很重要。故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“While sleeping in socks is worth a try to get better rest, it’s not a cure-all. (虽然为了得到更好的休息,穿袜子睡觉值得一试,但这并不是万灵药)”以及划线词后文“research suggests that putting your feet in a warm water bath before bed can give a similar effect(研究表明,睡前把脚放在温水中也能产生类似的效果)”可知,穿袜子睡觉不是万灵药,作者提到如果穿袜子睡觉会让你感到“a sensory overload”,这是一种不太愉快的体验,因为紧接着作者提供了一个替代方案:泡一个温暖的热水脚,这可以产生类似的效果。由此我们可以推断,“a sensory overload”指的是一种感官上的过度刺激,这种刺激可能让人感到不适。故划线词意思是“强烈的刺激”。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sleeping in socks helps to regulate your body temperature, which can lead to falling asleep faster, waking up less, and sleeping in later, according to research.(研究表明,穿袜子睡觉有助于调节体温,从而更快入睡、醒得更少、睡得更晚)”以及第三段“Temperature plays a role in quality sleep. (温度对睡眠质量起着重要作用)”结合本文的主要内容是穿袜子睡觉的功能和好处。可知,即这篇文章主要讲了穿袜子睡觉的功能。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Besides, there are other ways to step up your sleep routine, and wake up better rested.(此外,还有其他方法可以加强你的睡眠规律,并在醒来时得到更好的休息)”可知,文章最后提到,除了穿袜子睡觉,还有其他方法可以提高睡眠质量,这暗示了接下来可能会讨论的内容。故选B。
D
People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it. Flynn was initially confused by his discovery. It took millions of years for the brain to evolve. How could it improve so rapidly over just a few decades?
The answer is largely that people were becoming better nourished and mentally stimulated. Just as muscles need food and exercise to grow strong, the brain also needs the right nutrients and activity to develop. Kids today are much less likely to be malnourished (营养不良的) than they were in past decades, and more likely to go to school. Yet there is no room for satisfaction. In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to reach the cognitive potential.
The world grows enough food, but several obstacles stop nutrients getting into young brains. One is war. Families sheltering around cannot risk out to plant or harvest, and some governments intentionally starve certain regions into submission. Another is disease. Hungry children fall sick more often, and the energy they spend battling bugs cannot be devoted to growing brains. Poverty is also a big part of the problem. But global data from UNICEF, an aid agency, show that although half the children with very restricted diets (including no more than two food groups) are indeed from poor families, the other half are not. Other factors, such as poor eating habits, are to blame as well. Research about how to overcome the obstacles is needed.
Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as people entrust (委托) their thinking to artificial intelligence. To assume this would be as foolish as betting 100 years ago that the invention of the car would make it unnecessary to walk. In the workplace human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other. And brains are for the joy of thinking, as well as earning money. Steven Pinker of Harvard University calls human intelligence “a tailwind in life”, helping people adapt rationally to new challenges or a changing environment. For a modest price, the next generation can have a stronger tailwind. It would not only be wrong to refuse them the tailwind. It would be stupid.
32. What can we learn about the Flynn Effect?
A. Average IQs have risen fast in the past decades. B. Intelligence has been stable across generations.
C. People now are as intelligent as their ancestors. D. Better education leads to improved physical health.
33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The Flynn Effect has reached its peak. B. Global problems continue despite IQ gains.
C. Society values human intelligence less. D. Malnutrition is merely a result of poverty.
34. What does the author think of artificial intelligence?
A. Useless. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Ineffective.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Stages of IQ Development B. Secrets to Rising IQs Worldwide
C. Insights Into Global IQ Trend D. Influence of the Flynn Effect
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球智商尽管有所提高但仍存在的挑战,提供了对影响全球智商上升趋势因素的深入观察。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it.(一项针对72个国家的研究发现,从1948年到2020年,平均智商每十年上升2.2个百分点。这种惊人的变化被称为弗林效应,以第一位注意到这一现象的科学家詹姆斯·弗林的名字命名)”可知,过去几十年里,平均智商上升得很快。故选A。
【33题详解】
句意猜测题。根据划线词后文“In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to reach the cognitive potential.(在贫穷和中等收入国家,许多儿童仍然营养不良,无法发挥认知潜力)”可知,后文提到在贫穷和中等收入国家,许多儿童仍然营养不良,无法发挥认知潜力,表明没有满足的余地。所以即使智商有所提高,仍然存在全球性问题。故划线句意思是“尽管智商有所提高,全球问题仍在继续”。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the workplace, human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other.(在工作场所,人类智能和人工智能可能会相互帮助)”可知,作者认为人工智能是有益的。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it.(今天的人们比前几代人聪明得多。一项针对72个国家的研究发现,从1948年到2020年,平均智商每十年上升2.2个百分点。这种惊人的变化被称为弗林效应,以第一位注意到这一现象的科学家詹姆斯·弗林的名字命名)”结合文章主要说明了全球智商尽管有所提高但仍存在的挑战,提供了对影响全球智商上升趋势因素的深入观察。可知,C选项“洞察全球智商趋势”最符合文章标题。故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The experience of modern life is a constant stream of reviews where criticism is common, which makes us struggle both to give and receive it gracefully. ___36___
It’s not personal (even when it’s personal).
When criticized, we often make it personal in two ways. ___37___ Additionally, we interpret criticism as a reflection of our inborn abilities rather than our actions. This tendency, observed even in young children, can lead to reduced self-esteem, mood, and persistence. To settle it, adopting a mindset that separates the feedback from the person giving it can help maintain objectivity and resilience (适应力) in the face of criticism.
___38___
Once you depersonalize criticism in this way, you can start to see it for what it is: a rare glimpse into what outsiders think about your performance, and thus a potential opportunity to correct course and improve. Studies indicate that actively engaging with feedback improves academic outcomes.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太极拳因其经久不衰的人气而享誉全球,其中来自法国波尔多的44岁的纪尧姆·拉奇在20多年前的一次运动受伤后,开始打太极以恢复健康。他对武术的热爱使他在2007年成立了一个协会,致力于通过太极拳和语言教学在法国推广中国文化。
【56题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:太极拳,一种古老的中国武术,因其经久不衰的人气而享誉全球,尽管没有关于练习者数量的正式统计数据。主语与谓语构成被动关系,此处可理解为太极拳目前普遍被全世界庆祝用一般现在时的被动语态,或理解为太极拳从过去到现在一直被庆祝,可能对现在有影响,用现在完成时的被动语态,谓语用单数,助动词用has。故填is celebrated/has been celebrated。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意:太极拳,一种古老的中国武术,因其经久不衰的人气而享誉全球,尽管没有关于练习者数量的正式统计数据。引导同位语从句,进一步解释说明前面的名词“the fact”,从句不缺少成分,句意完整,故用“that”。故填that。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:2020年12月17日,联合国教科文组织将太极拳列为非物质文化遗产,太极拳在全球的吸引力与日俱增。表示“作为”用介词as。故填as。
【59题详解】

【60题详解】
考查时态。句意:他对这门艺术的热情引导他在2007年成立了一个协会,致力于通过太极拳和语言教学在法国推广中国文化。根据后文in 2007可知,这里描述的是过去发生的事情,为一般过去时。故填led。
【61题详解】
考查动名词。句意:他对这门艺术的热情引导他在2007年成立了一个协会,致力于通过太极拳和语言教学在法国推广中国文化。这里需要动名词形式作为介词“to”的宾语。故填promoting。
【62题详解】
考查不定式。句意:从那时起,他每年都会带法国学生来陈江沟,加深他们对太极拳的了解。作目的状语应用不定式。故填to deepen。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:拉奇的努力反映了一个更广泛的趋势:法国人对中国文化越来越着迷,他希望这种迷恋能继续加强。引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个句子,因此使用“which”。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:太极拳的哲学源于中国经典的《道德经》。text为泛指,且classic是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:太极拳的哲学强调阴阳平衡,展示了可以相互转化的对立面,挑战了关于强弱的传统信念。表示多个信念,因此使用复数形式作宾语。故填beliefs。

67. 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。
Both of my parents have taught me the values of service and compassion from a young age. Growing up, they both chose service professions — my mother as a dedicated nurse and my father as a passionate teacher. They not only worked tirelessly in their respective fields but also spent their nights and weekends volunteering, emphasizing the importance of helping others in need. Their dedication and selflessness gave me a lesson that a life dedicated to serving others is one that is truly fulfilling and meaningful.
Inspired by their examples, I pursued a career in medicine, becoming a physician. For the past 11 years, I have been working closely with the homeless community, providing them with much needed medical care and support. It has been a challenging yet rewarding journey, as I witness firsthand the impact I can make on improving the lives of those who are often overlooked and marginalized (被边缘化).
And my commitment to these things is the spirit that I have passed to my son. I am a proud mother to a boy who shares my enthusiasm for adventures as well as the love for others. He is an enthusiastic bike riders, and I have always encouraged him to pursue his passion while instilling (灌输) in him the values of empathy and kindness.
I vividly remember his first biking race, where he fearlessly took the lead and even managed to catch some air with his daring jumps. It was an exhilarating moment for him, and I couldn’t have been prouder. However, it was the last moment in the race that surprised me that day.
As the race progressed, competitors were approaching the finishing line. My son was still in the lead during the race, with the second-place rider closely behind him. Suddenly, the rider behind him crashed, flying off his bike. The sound of piercing screams filled the air.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

Upon hearing this, my son stopped his bicycle and turned to look behind him.

In the end, my son missed the chance to win the championship.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文:
Upon hearing this, my son stopped his bicycle and turned to look behind him. He saw the fallen rider clutching his arm in pain. Without hesitation, my son rushed over, his concern evident as he checked on the injured competitor. “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry. The other racers sped past them, focusing on the finish line, but my son remained by the fallen rider’s side. He helped him up gently and supported him as they walked together towards the finish line. Despite the pain, the injured rider managed a grateful smile.
In the end, my son missed the chance to win the championship. However, witnessing this act of kindness filled me with immense pride. As we drove home that evening, I couldn’t help but reflect on how our family’s commitment to serving others had truly shaped his character. I recalled how he carefully helped the injured rider to his feet, supporting him as they made their way off the track together. His hands were steady yet gentle, his movements deliberate and comforting. It was moments like these that reaffirmed my belief in the power of leading a life dedicated to helping those in need.

Last July 26, at around 11 p. m., an emergency message on the Facebook page caught Callie Clemens’ eye. A tiny black puppy had been spotted running across a road in Spring Branch. Howls had been heard from inside a nearby drain, so there was likely one puppy stuck down there.
Clemens drove to the scene. Once there, she heard desperate cries from underground echoing through the pipes. She grabbed a flashlight from her car and got down. “I was not expecting to go into the drain,” Clemens says. But puppies were down there. “Somebody’s got to do it.”
After lowering herself roughly 7 feet down the drain, Clemens crawled through a tunnel before reaching an area where she could crouch and search. “I heard splashing.” Clemens says. She pointed her flashlight and saw “two sets of eyes looking at me”. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, workers from the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) arrived and joined Clemens in the drain. They worked until 3 a. m., trying to track down the dogs. But they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen.
Clemens was not about to give up. Although venturing down a storm drain is terrifying, Clemens says, “It would never resonate with me to know that I left an animal in there to starve and suffer.” She went home for a few hours of sleep, then went straight back to the drain, joined by several volunteers, including a local engineer who drew a map of the drain system.
After several hours of searching, they finally found one tiny black pup. However, one dog was still left underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times to look for it, even leaving food, some of which had been eaten. But the fact that Clemens had stopped hearing the dog’s howls made her confident that the puppy found its way out.
24 Why did Callie Clemens drive to the scene?
A. To save a puppy. B. To explore a tunnel.
C. To control a noise. D. To fix a pipe.
25. What made Callie Clemens decide to go into the drain again?
A. The interest in drain system. B. The encouragement from workers.
C. Her sympathy for animals. D. Her curiosity about the puppies.
26. What convinced her that the other dog escaped?
A. The untouched food. B. The hand- drawn map.
C. The disappearance of barks. D. The message from volunteers.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Callie Clemens?
A Kind and determined. B. Brave and demanding.
C. Smart and encouraging. D. Honest and adventurous.

If you’ve never slept in socks, you might want to give it a try.
Sleeping in socks helps to regulate your body temperature, which can lead to falling asleep faster, waking up less, and sleeping in later, according to research. When your core body temperature is regulated, it makes for better sleep, sleep disorders specialist Breus said.
Temperature plays a role in quality sleep. A drop in core body temperature signals to the body that it’s time to sleep and occurs alongside the release of melatonin — the sleep hormone. Experts suggest keeping your bedroom between 68 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit for ample sleep.
Wearing socks and sleeping in a cool room could be the perfect pairing for a high quality night of rest. If you wear socks to sleep, ensure they aren’t so tight that they restrict blood flow, wrote Breus. It’s important the socks are comfortable so they don’t become a sleep distraction. Breus also suggested they be made of breathable fabric s like cotton, linen, or bamboo. And you should opt for a fresh, clean pair, not the ones you wore all day, sleep therapist Michelle Drerup said.
While sleeping in socks is worth a try to get better rest, it’s not a cure-all. If you feel a sensory overload sleeping in socks, research suggests that putting your feet in a warm water bath before bed can give a similar effect. Also, socks aren’t a treatment for insomnia or other sleep problems — you should talk to a medical professional for ongoing issues. And people with circulation (循环) issues should not sleep with socks without talking to their doctor first. Besides, there are other ways to step up your sleep routine, and wake up better rested.
28. What can be inferred from Breus’s opinions?
A. Core body temperature depends on socks. B. Comfortable socks are a sleep cure- all.
C. A better night rest improves blood flow. D. The selection of socks is significant.
29. What does the phrase “a sensory overload” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A complete relaxation. B. A strong stimulation.
C. A sense of security. D. A sense of relief.
30. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The function of sleeping in socks. B. The body temperature in sleep.
C. Melatonin’s role in sleep. D. Methods to regulate sleep.
31. What will be talked about next in the passage?
A. The necessity of medical consultations. B. Additional ways to improve sleep quality.
C. The choice of suitable sleepwear materials. D. The impact of room temperature on sleep patterns.
D
People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it. Flynn was initially confused by his discovery. It took millions of years for the brain to evolve. How could it improve so rapidly over just a few decades?
The answer is largely that people were becoming better nourished and mentally stimulated. Just as muscles need food and exercise to grow strong, the brain also needs the right nutrients and activity to develop. Kids today are much less likely to be malnourished (营养不良的) than they were in past decades, and more likely to go to school. Yet there is no room for satisfaction. In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to reach the cognitive potential.
The world grows enough food, but several obstacles stop nutrients getting into young brains. One is war. Families sheltering around cannot risk out to plant or harvest, and some governments intentionally starve certain regions into submission. Another is disease. Hungry children fall sick more often, and the energy they spend battling bugs cannot be devoted to growing brains. Poverty is also a big part of the problem. But global data from UNICEF, an aid agency, show that although half the children with very restricted diets (including no more than two food groups) are indeed from poor families, the other half are not. Other factors, such as poor eating habits, are to blame as well. Research about how to overcome the obstacles is needed.
Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as people entrust (委托) their thinking to artificial intelligence. To assume this would be as foolish as betting 100 years ago that the invention of the car would make it unnecessary to walk. In the workplace, human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other. And brains are for the joy of thinking, as well as earning money. Steven Pinker of Harvard University calls human intelligence “a tailwind in life”, helping people adapt rationally to new challenges or a changing environment. For a modest price, the next generation can have a stronger tailwind. It would not only be wrong to refuse them the tailwind. It would be stupid.
32. What can we learn about the Flynn Effect?
A. Average IQs have risen fast in the past decades. B. Intelligence has been stable across generations.
C. People now are as intelligent as their ancestors. D. Better education leads to improved physical health.
33. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The Flynn Effect has reached its peak. B. Global problems continue despite IQ gains.
C. Society values human intelligence less. D. Malnutrition is merely a result of poverty.
34. What does the author think of artificial intelligence?
A. Useless. B. Unique. C. Beneficial. D. Ineffective.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Stages of IQ Development B. Secrets to Rising IQs Worldwide
C. Insights Into Global IQ Trend D. Influence of the Flynn Effect

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The experience of modern life is a constant stream of reviews where criticism is common, which makes us struggle both to give and receive it gracefully. ___36___
It’s not personal (even when it’s personal).
When criticized, we often make it personal in two ways. ___37___ Additionally, we interpret criticism as a reflection of our inborn abilities rather than our actions. This tendency, observed even in young children, can lead to reduced self-esteem, mood, and persistence. To settle it, adopting a mindset that separates the feedback from the person giving it can help maintain objectivity and resilience (适应力) in the face of criticism.
___38___
Once you depersonalize criticism in this way, you can start to see it for what it is: a rare glimpse into what outsiders think about your performance, and thus a potential opportunity to correct course and improve. Studies indicate that actively engaging with feedback improves academic outcomes. If this doesn’t come easily to you, consider forming a critics’ circle with trusted peers to exchange honest feedback and enhance resilience.
Make criticism a gift, never a weapon.
We all have to give criticism from time to time. ___39___ Research suggests five key elements for providing constructive feedback: the care of the receiver in mind; respectful delivery; good intentions; a pathway to improvement; and appropriate targeting of the receiver’s needs.
Praise in public, criticize in private.
___40___ He used it to motivate players. Research confirms its effectiveness: public praise boosts motivation by 9%, while private criticism increases motivation by 11% compared to public settings.
A. View criticism as objective feedback.
B. Treat criticism like secret information.
C. We shifts the focus from emotion to analysis.
D. Therefore, we should approach criticism positively.
E. This rule is credited to the football coach Vince Lombardi.
F. We may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism.
G. The key to criticizing is to remember it is intended to help, not harm.

67. 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。
Both of my parents have taught me the values of service and compassion from a young age. Growing up, they both chose service professions — my mother as a dedicated nurse and my father as a passionate teacher. They not only worked tirelessly in their respective fields but also spent their nights and weekends volunteering, emphasizing the importance of helping others in need. Their dedication and selflessness gave me a lesson that a life dedicated to serving others is one that is truly fulfilling and meaningful.
Inspired by their examples, I pursued a career in medicine, becoming a physician. For the past 11 years, I have been working closely with the homeless community, providing them with much needed medical care and support. It has been a challenging yet rewarding journey, as I witness firsthand the impact I can make on improving the lives of those who are often overlooked and marginalized (被边缘化).
And my commitment to these things is the spirit that I have passed to my son. I am a proud mother to a boy who shares my enthusiasm for adventures as well as the love for others. He is an enthusiastic bike riders, and I have always encouraged him to pursue his passion while instilling (灌输) in him the values of empathy and kindness.
I vividly remember his first biking race, where he fearlessly took the lead and even managed to catch some air with his daring jumps. It was an exhilarating moment for him, and I couldn’t have been prouder. However, it was the last moment in the race that surprised me that day.
As the race progressed, competitors were approaching the finishing line. My son was still in the lead during the race, with the second-place rider closely behind him. Suddenly, the rider behind him crashed, flying off his bike. The sound of piercing screams filled the air.
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。
Upon hearing this, my son stopped his bicycle and turned to look behind him.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the end, my son missed the chance to win the championship.
