We could go and take a look this weekend. M: Great idea. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. Which university did Jacopo graduate from? A. Peking University. B. The University of Milan. C.

Jacopo showed a strong interest in art in his childhood. While studying at the University of Milan, Jacopo took a master’s course in graphic design and printing technology. Before coming to China, Jacopo knew almost nothing about it. With a strong curiosity about this country, Jacopo moved to Beijing in 2001. “I planned to spend two weeks knowing about China, but later I found the time was far from enough, and I’ve been here for more than 20 years until now,” Jacopo said. He created some paintings with traditional colors to show his love for traditional Chinese culture. The happiest time for Jacopo was after enjoying his artworks, some visitors who didn’t understand art began to show interest in it and realized art is part of their life. Having lived in China for more than two decades, Jacopo said he was amazed by the country’s rapid development. Now, he has put down roots in Beijing. “China and Italy have something in common — we both value family. I was born in Italy and live in China. China is now my home and I will continue to live and work here,” he said. 第二部分阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A FUTURE STARS — SUMMER EDITION — Digital Exhibition About this Event Experience the Magic of Art at Future Stars Summer Edition, a Spectacular Digital Art Show at The Holy Art Gallery in London.

Every day, they traveled to her grandfather's home near the business district where water had already been restored to collect what they needed for the day. Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most. Morrison, who received a master's degree in engineering science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), has spent the last 14 years trying to create a bridge between organizations looking to make a difference. In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects. “We have our own projects that we do, but we also help a lot of groups that have their own projects.” Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record. Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. “That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal, ”she said. 24. Why does the author mention Morrison's childhood experience? A. To illustrate her stubborn nature. B. To introduce hardships she once suffered. C. To reveal the source power for her future career. D. To indicate a lack of efficiency of the local public service. 25. What can be learned about Do Good Jamaica? A. It was independently set up by Morrison. B. It started with the attempt to break a Guinness Record. C. It mainly helps other groups with their voluntary projects. D. It functions as a bond between organizations and the government. 26. What do Morrison's words mean in the last paragraph? A. She has a team of high efficiency. B. She stresses the importance of friendship. C. She is proud of her good quality social network. D. She received much help and support in her voluntary work 27. Which of the following words can best describe Morrison? A. Responsible and devoted. B. Ambitious and loyal. C. Honest and hardworking. D. Stubborn and idealistic. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章描述了Morrison童年时期经历飓风Gilbert的经历，这段经历影响了她未来的职业选择和人生观，并介绍了Morrison创立的非营利组织Do Good Jamaica，以及该组织的工作和影响。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Hurricane Gilbert struck her native Jamaica in her childhood, Morrison and her family were left without running water in their home for three months.”（当飓风吉尔伯特在她的童年时期袭击她的故乡牙买加时，莫里森和她的家人在家中失去了三个月的自来水。）和第二段“Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most.”（观看她的社区从飓风中恢复，让莫里森得到了许多终生受用的教训：水是关键的资源和公用设施；人们和组织在灾后想要提供帮助；而且，由于在此类事件后组织工作困难，确定哪些行动最有帮助并不总是容易。）可知，文章开头提到Morrison童年经历飓风Gilbert的经历，并列举了她从中学到的三个重要教训。这些教训直接影响了Morrison未来的职业选择和她创立Do Good Jamaica的动机。因此, 作者提到Morrison童年经历是为了揭示她未来事业的动力来源。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record.”（Do Good Jamaica的起源是追求一个世界纪录。Morrison刚加入金斯敦的扶轮社时，读到加利福尼亚的一家扶轮社最近创造了七天内捐赠最多书籍给慈善机构的吉尼斯世界纪录。了解到牙买加的图书馆缺乏儿童书籍，Morrison决定回到自己的社团去打破这个纪录。）可知，Do Good Jamaica这一组织的起源是追求一个世界纪录。Morrison刚加入金斯敦的扶轮社时, 读到加州一个扶轮社创造了7天内捐赠最多书籍的吉尼斯世界纪录, 于是她决定打破这个记录。这直接导致了Do Good Jamaica的成立。因此，该组织是从尝试打破吉尼斯世界纪录开始的。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段“Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. ‘ That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal,’ she said.”（莫里森还联系了慈善组织，与像Scholastic这样的书商建立了企业赞助关系，甚至通过她在哈佛大学和宾夕法尼亚大学的校友网络寻求私人捐款。“这让我看到了人们为了一个共同目标而团结合作的力量，”她说。）表明，她意识到了人们共同努力实现一个目标的力量。在尝试打破记录的过程中，她联系了慈善组织,获得了企业赞助，甚至通过校友网络寻求私人捐赠。这些都表明她在志愿工作中得到了很多帮助和支持。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects.”（在2010年，她联合他人创立了Do Good Jamaica组织，这是一个非营利组织，开展了多项关于早期儿童发展、气候和情感恢复的项目，并提供了一个数字数据库，连接希望在其他项目上合作的组织。）可知， Morrison从童年经历中学到重要教训并将其应用于未来的工作中， 创立了Do Good Jamaica，具有强烈的社会责任感和奉献精神。故选A项。 C Today, there are dozens of large language model (LLM) chat-bots (聊天机器人) aimed at mental health care — addressing everything from loneliness among seniors to anxiety and depression in teens. Apps like Wysa, Woebot, and Tess have millions of users. But the effectiveness of these apps is unclear. Even more unclear is how well these apps work in supporting some specific, marginalized (边缘化的) groups. A team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Emory University found that while large language models can offer fast, on-demand support, they frequently fail to grasp the specific challenges that many members of the community face. That failure could lead the chatbot to give at best unhelpful and at worst dangerous advice. The paper was presented at the ACM conference on Human Factors in Computing System in Honolulu. The researchers interviewed 31 participants, roughly accounting for three-quarters of the tested people, about how the chatbots supported their individual needs. On one hand, some participants reported that the chatbots offered a safe space to explore and express their problems. But many of the participants also noted the programs’s hortfalls. One participant wrote, “I don’t think I remember any time that it gave me a solution. If I would tell it that I’m upset with someone, it will suggest maybe talking to that person. “The boilerplate (公式化) nature of the chatbots’ responses highlights their failure to recognize the complex and specific experiences or situations, making the chatbots’ suggestions feel emotionally disengaged, ” said Ma, a co-first author of the paper. The chatbots also gave some participants bad advice — telling one person to quit his job, without considering his financial or personal consequences. Ma stressed, “There are ways we could improve these limitations by fine tuning the LLMs for contexts relevant to the users of a specific community, or regularly updating feedback loops, but we wonder if this tendency to adopt technology at every aspect of social problem is the right approach,” said Ma. “There are aspects of mental health that cannot be solved with LLM chatbots — such as discrimination, bullying, or the lack of representation. For that, we need a complete support system.” 28. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To prove the advancement of the apps. B. To evaluate whether the apps are worth their prices. C. To identify what challenges the marginalized groups face. D. To find out how well the apps meet the needs of certain groups. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its findings. B. Its process. C. Its participants. D. Its significance. 30. What do we know from the interview? A. Many participants admitted the chat-bots are helpful. B. Chat-bots tend to fail to identify complicated experiences. C. Chat-bots sometimes mislead users on their financial decisions. D. Altogether 31 persons participated in the test mentioned. 31. What does Ma think of using chat-bots to sovle social problems? A. Some technological limitations can never be overcome. B. A complete support system is needed other than technology. C. They need updating to successfully tackle all social problems. D. There exist moral concerns about using them to solve social issues. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项关于聊天机器人解决社交问题有效性的研究。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But the effectiveness of these apps is unclear. Even more unclear is how well these apps work in supporting some specific, marginalized (边缘化的) groups.(但这些应用程序的有效性尚不清楚。更不清楚的是，这些应用程序在支持某些特定的、边缘化的群体方面效果如何)”可知，研究人员进行这项研究是为了了解这些应用程序在满足某些特定群体需求方面的效果如何。故选D项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“A team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Emory University found that while large language models can offer fast, on-demand support, they frequently fail to grasp the specific challenges that many members of the community face. That failure could lead the chatbot to give at best unhelpful and at worst dangerous advice. (哈佛大学约翰·A·保尔森工程与应用科学学院和埃默里大学的一组研究人员发现，虽然大型语言模型可以提供快速、按需的支持，但它们经常无法掌握社区许多成员面临的具体挑战。这种失败可能导致聊天机器人给出无用的建议，最坏的情况下甚至会给出危险的建议)”可知，第三段主要讲述了研究的发现。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““The boilerplate (公式化) nature of the chatbots’ responses highlights their failure to recognize the complex and specific experiences or situations, making the chatbots’ suggestions feel emotionally disengaged, ” said Ma, a co-first author of the paper.(论文的共同第一作者马说：“聊天机器人回应的公式化性质凸显了他们未能识别复杂和特定的经历或情况，使得聊天机器人的建议感觉情感上脱节。”)”可知，聊天机器人往往无法识别复杂的经历。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ma stressed, “There are ways we could improve these limitations by fine tuning the LLMs for contexts relevant to the users of a specific community, or regularly updating feedback loops, but we wonder if this tendency to adopt technology at every aspect of social problem is the right approach, ” said Ma. “There are aspects of mental health that cannot be solved with LLM chatbots—such as discrimination, bullying, or the lack of representation. For that, we need a complete support system.”(马强调说：“我们可以通过针对特定社区用户的相关情境微调LLM，或者定期更新反馈循环来改善这些限制，但我们想知道，在社会问题的各个方面都采用技术是否是正确的方法。”马说：“有些心理健康问题是无法通过LLM聊天机器人解决的，比如歧视、欺凌或缺乏代表性。为此，我们需要一个完整的支持系统。”)”可知，马认为除了技术之外，还需要一个完整的支持系统。故选B项。 D There are many ways to be healthy in the modern era due to the innovations in medicine and fitness. Working out, eating clean, and taking our vitamins and supplements are all great ways to be healthy. Healthy distancing is another way to remove toxins (毒素) from our minds and bodies. A few years ago, the world came to a stop from a pandemic (大流行病), and the term social distance came about to be. Similarly, based on a common principle, we sometimes have to distance ourselves from what can be a mind virus that is more sophisticated than any known biological disease. It’s completely OK to give ourselves space from those who don’t mean well to us. Misery is infectious and weakens our immune system to become bitter. Usually, due to our internal defense mechanisms and instinctual reactions, we are alerted if a situation or person is not suitable for our well-being in a positive, self-preserving manner. If a relative or a friend is being harmful in their actions, the proper way to handle the form of abuse is to separate ourselves from the situation. Verify your self-worth in this world. Hang around more positive and productive people. We are the company we keep around. That is not an outdated saying. The company we keep close to reflects aspects of how we see ourselves. Our company reveals how far off or how close we are to the good andbad of this world. Learn to be OK with alone time, but don’t overdo it. It’s easy to get lost in the dense forest of seclusion (隔绝；隐居). Alone time is needed, but so many mental illnesses can come from remaining attracted to and separated from people. Depression, anger problems, paranoia, and a laundry list of self-inflicted injuries from the addiction of idolizing ourselves alone. Healthy distancing isn’t cutting someone off forever but making a mature decision to make sure our peace and happiness are solid. Healthy distancing maintains a balance of a stable mind, body, and spirit. 32. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To compare ways of keeping healthy. B. To introduce the topic — social distancing. C. To highlight the advancement of medicine. D. To clarify the necessity of keeping minds healthy. 33. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Complicated. B. Sensitive. C. Intelligent. D. Delicate. 34. In what way does our company matter according to the text? A. It contributes to or damages our career. B. It keeps us away from mental illnesses. C. It reveals how we get along with this world. D. It mirrors how we see ourselves and the world. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards social distancing? A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了保持健康的方法，除了锻炼、饮食和补充维生素之外，还提到了健康疏远的概念，即在心理和情绪上保持距离，以远离对我们不利的人和事。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There are many ways to be healthy in the modern era due to the innovations in medicine and fitness. Working out, eating clean, and taking our vitamins and supplements are all great ways to be healthy. Healthy distancing is another way to remove toxins (毒素) from our minds and bodies.”（由于医学和健身的创新，现代社会有很多保持健康的方法。锻炼、饮食清洁以及补充维生素和补品都是很好的保持健康的方法。健康疏远是另一种从我们的思想和身体中清除毒素的方法。）可知，第一段主要介绍了保持健康的多种方法，并引出健康疏远这一概念，因此第一段的作用是引入健康疏远的话题。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“we sometimes have to distance ourselves from what can be a mind virus that is more sophisticated than any known biological disease.”（我们有时不得不疏远那些可能比任何已知的生物疾病都要更sophisticated的心灵病毒。）可知，句中将对我们不利的人或事比作“mind virus(心灵病毒)”，并将其与“biological disease(生物疾病)”进行了类比，结合选项，“心灵病毒”比任何已知的“生物疾病”都要“更复杂”，所以我们也要与其保持距离。划线词sophisticated在此处的意思是“复杂的”。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Verify your self-worth in this world. Hang around more positive and productive people. We are the company we keep around. That is not an outdated saying. The company we keep close to reflects aspects of how we see ourselves. Our company reveals how far off or how close we are to the good and bad of this world.”（在这个世界上验证你的自我价值。多和积极、富有成效的人在一起。我们是与我们相处的人。这不是一句过时的话。我们亲近的人反映了我们如何看待自己的各个方面。我们的同伴揭示了我们与这个世界的善恶有多远或多近。）可知，我们的同伴反映了我们如何看待自己，也揭示了我们离这个世界的善恶有多远或多近，即我们的同伴反映了我们如何看待自己和世界，因此很重要。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Healthy distancing isn’t cutting someone off forever but making a mature decision to make sure our peace and happiness are solid. Healthy distancing maintains a balance of a stable mind, body, and spirit.”（健康疏远并不是永远切断与某人的联系，而是做出成熟的决定，确保我们的和平和幸福是坚实的。健康疏远保持了稳定的心灵、身体和精神的平衡。）可知，作者认为健康疏远是一种成熟的决定，有助于保持心灵、身体和精神的平衡，因此作者对健康疏远持客观的态度。故选C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。 Chances are you’ve heard that meditation (冥想) is good for you. Most of us associate meditation with siting quietly in a dark room and clearing your mind for 20 minutes in perfect silence. ___36___ Gratitude meditation simply means focusing on and acknowledging the things you are grateful for. ___37___ Therefore, it’s very easy to build a gratitude meditation practice. ___38___ In fact, studies have shown that being mindfully grateful can actually rewire your brain to make you better able to deal with life’s challenges going forward. It promotes optimism and can calm you down when you are feeling anxious or stressed. By focusing on the people, places, things, and experiences that you are grateful for rather than what you don’t have or what you have lost, your day-to-day mood can improve, and your ability to see the good over the bad can be strengthened. Sometimes, we can have a bit of a prejudice towards negativity. This keeps us alert (警觉的) to and safe from danger. ___39___ We can easily forget the positive things in our lives when we focus on what we have to do when things are bad. The point of gratitude meditation, however, is not to forget or ignore the injustices or suffering in the world, nor is it meant to erase the problems you yourself are struggling with. Instead, it works to open our eyes to the larger systems at play in our lives. ___40___ Practicing gratitude meditation can get us “unstuck” from a place of self-absorption or anxiety by encouraging us to look at the bigger picture. A. It can be done anywhere, at any time. B. But gratitude meditation is very different. C. A gratitude meditation can also be very specific. D. However, this nature does not always mean a good thing to us. E. It’s important to note that gratitude meditation is not a cure-all. F. It helps us recognize our successes while acknowledging our challenges. G. It’s been proven that practicing gratitude increases your feelings of happiness. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. G 39. D 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了感恩冥想的概念、好处以及如何实践，通过解释、举例和对比等方式，向读者传达了感恩冥想的重要性和益处。 【36题详解】 根据空前内容“Most of us associate meditation with sitting quietly in a dark room and clearing your mind for 20 minutes in perfect silence.(我们中的大多数人都会将冥想与在黑暗的房间里静静地坐上20分钟，完全清空思绪联系在一起。)”可知，上文主要讲述了冥想的意思。选项B“But gratitude meditation is very different.(但是感恩冥想却非常不同。)”与上文内容形成转折关系，自然引出第二段“Gratitude meditation simply means focusing on and acknowledging the things you are grateful for.(感恩冥想简单地意味着专注于并承认你所感激的事情。)”中对“感恩冥想”的介绍。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据空后内容“Therefore, it’s very easy to build a gratitude meditation practice.(因此，建立感恩冥想练习是非常容易的。)”中的“therefore”可推测，空处指的是“感恩冥想”的便捷性，从而引出下文“感恩冥想练习的容易”。选项A“It can be done anywhere, at any time.(它可以在任何地方、任何时间进行。)”承上启下，与上下文内容相一致。故选A。 【38题详解】 空处为段首句，为本段主要内容。根据下文内容“In fact, studies have shown that being mindfully grateful can actually rewire your brain to make you better able to deal with life’s challenges going forward. It promotes optimism and can calm you down when you are feeling anxious or stressed.(事实上，研究表明，有意识地感恩实际上可以重塑你的大脑，使你更好地应对未来的生活挑战。它促进乐观情绪，并在你感到焦虑或压力时使你平静下来。)”可知，感恩练习可以促进我们乐观的情绪。选项G“It’s been proven that practicing gratitude increases your feelings of happiness.(已经证明练习感恩可以增加你的幸福感)”自然引出下文内容，与下文内容相符。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据空前内容“Sometimes, we can have a bit of a prejudice towards negativity. This keeps us alert (警觉的 )to and safe from danger.(我们有时会对消极事物持有偏见，这可以让我们对危险保持警觉和安全。)”以及下文内容“We can easily forget the positive things in our lives when we focus on what we have to do when things are bad.(当事情糟糕时，我们专注于必须做的事情时，很容易忘记生活中的积极事物。)”可知，我们对消极事物持有的态度不利于我们解决问题。选项D“However, this nature does not always mean a good thing to us.(然而，这种本性并不总是对我们有好处。)”作为转折，与前文形成对比，引出后文的内容。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据空前内容“The point of gratitude meditation, however, is not to forget or ignore the injustices or suffering in the world, nor is it meant to erase the problems you yourself are struggling with. Instead, it works to open our eyes to the larger systems at play in our lives.(然而，感恩冥想的重点不是忘记或忽视世界上的不公或苦难，也不是为了消除你自己正在挣扎的问题。相反，它旨在让我们看到我们生活中更大的系统。)”可知，感恩冥想对我们有好处。选项F“It helps us recognize our successes while acknowledging our challenges.(它帮助我们在承认挑战的同时认识到我们的成功。)”符合语境，强调感恩冥想能够让我们在认识到挑战的同时，也看到我们的成功和积极面。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。 Wanderlust (酷爱旅游 ) is in my DNA.

Boss Kende was an expert in tea-making and very fond of the flavor of tea. Seeing the green tea leaves drying, he felt like it was a grand and fascinating ceremony, as magical as the birth of a child. He was filled with joy when participating in this process, even feeling a little moved. After breakfast, Boss Kende went to the workshop. The familiar smell of tea leaves made him feel refreshed. The workers were busy working. All the tea leaves collected from the tea farmers yesterday were ready to be dried. “Ah, there you are, Boss!” When the workers saw him coming, they immediately greeted him. “Hi, guys! How is everything with you?” With a smile, he approached the iron pot used for drying tea leaves to start working. “Kende, this batch of tea is of very high quality, but it’s a pity the leaves were bitten by insects. I wonder whether the flavor will suffer because of it.” The man who was speaking was named Kipsang from the tea farm. When the tea leaves were delivered to the workshop from the farm insects were clearly seen on the leaves. The son of Boss Kende proposed purchasing them at a lower price. When Kende learnt about this, he insisted his son still pay the originally agreed-to price. The villagers were very grateful, but felt a little indebted to Kende. “Don’t worry! This batch of tea leaves will be made into black tea. When they’re ready, we’ll first taste them before putting them on the market. In the worst case, if it’s actually a loss, I can still afford it.” The boss comforted Kipsang as he worked. Boss Kende kept holding up tea leaves and then spread them out in the pot. The water in the leaves was gradually evaporating. 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。 Just then, a refreshing pleasant smell blossomed out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Sometimes, what appears bad is not really bad,” Kende smiled after tasting the tea with his son. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Just then, a refreshing pleasant smell blossomed out. Boss Kende froze for a moment! When the tea was done, Boss Kende cleaned the teapot and cups, added some tea, and poured hot water in. Then he carefully poured some of the tea into two cups. The liquid was clear, with an amazing smell. “Son, come and have a taste!” Then, they both picked up the cups, and took a sip. “Terrific! The tea tasted nothing like any of the previous. But why?” The son looked at his father in astonishment. “I think it’s because the leaves were bitten by the insects,” Boss Kende’s voice trembled with excitement. “Sometimes, what appears bad is not really bad,” Kende smiled after tasting the tea with his son. “A bad thing can turn good if dealt with well. Tea making is just like life; it mirrors how one should conduct oneself in the world. You should always stand with others when you think and act. You are bound to gain something valuable from it.” “Yes, father, I will keep that in mind.” The young man’s face turned slightly red and he was touched. The father and son drank tea together surrounded by the fragrance of tea all around them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了老板Kende对茶叶充满热爱，在肯尼亚的制茶季节，他会亲自监督制茶过程。今年，一批茶叶因被虫咬而质量受损，茶农Kipsang担心茶的味道会受影响。尽管老板Kende的儿子建议以低价购买这批茶叶，但Kende坚持按原价支付，赢得村民的感激。他承诺将这批茶叶制成红茶，并亲自品尝后再投放市场，表示即使亏损也能承担。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“正在这时，一股沁人心脾的香味扑面而来”可知，第一段可描写老板Kende亲自泡茶，品尝茶的味道，让儿子也品尝一下，以及两人讨论茶的味道非常好的原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘有时候，看起来不好的东西并不是真的不好，’Kende和儿子一起品尝完茶后笑着说”可知，第二段可描写老板Kende借这件事教育儿子人生道理，建议行事时考虑他人，以及儿子非常受教。 2. 续写线索：传来茶香——老板Kende和儿子品茶——两人谈论茶味道好的原因——老板Kende对儿子谈想法——老板Kende教育儿子——儿子受教 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①反映：mirror/reflect ②行动：act/take action/make a move ③收获：gain/obtain/attain 情绪类 ①惊讶：astonishment/surprise/amazement ②兴奋：excitement/thrill ③触动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the tea was done, Boss Kende cleaned the teapot and cups, added some tea, and poured hot water in.

B When Hurricane Gilbert struck her native Jamaica in her childhood, Morrison and her family were left without running water in their home for three months. Every day, they traveled to her grandfather's home near the business district where water had already been restored to collect what they needed for the day. Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most. Morrison, who received a master's degree in engineering science at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), has spent the last 14 years trying to create a bridge between organizations looking to make a difference. In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects. “We have our own projects that we do, but we also help a lot of groups that have their own projects.” Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record. Morrison also contacted charitable organizations set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. “That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal, ”she said. 24. Why does the author mention Morrison's childhood experience? A. To illustrate her stubborn nature. B. To introduce hardships she once suffered. C To reveal the source power for her future career. D. To indicate a lack of efficiency of the local public service. 25. What can be learned about Do Good Jamaica? A. It was independently set up by Morrison. B. It started with the attempt to break a Guinness Record. C. It mainly helps other groups with their voluntary projects. D. It functions as a bond between organizations and the government. 26. What do Morrison's words mean in the last paragraph? A. She has a team of high efficiency. B. She stresses the importance of friendship. C. She is proud of her good quality social network. D. She received much help and support in her voluntary work 27. Which of the following words can best describe Morrison? A. Responsible and devoted. B. Ambitious and loyal. C. Honest and hardworking. D. Stubborn and idealistic. C Today, there are dozens of large language model (LLM) chat-bots (聊天机器人) aimed at mental health care — addressing everything from loneliness among seniors to anxiety and depression in teens. Apps like Wysa, Woebot, and Tess have millions of users. But the effectiveness of these apps is unclear. Even more unclear is how well these apps work in supporting some specific, marginalized (边缘化的) groups. A team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Emory University found that while large language models can offer fast, on-demand support, they frequently fail to grasp the specific challenges that many members of the community face. That failure could lead the chatbot to give at best unhelpful and at worst dangerous advice. The paper was presented at the ACM conference on Human Factors in Computing System in Honolulu. The researchers interviewed 31 participants, roughly accounting for three-quarters of the tested people, about how the chatbots supported their individual needs. On one hand, some participants reported that the chatbots offered a safe space to explore and express their problems. But many of the participants also noted the programs’s hortfalls. One participant wrote, “I don’t think I remember any time that it gave me a solution. If I would tell it that I’m upset with someone, it will suggest maybe talking to that person. “The boilerplate (公式化) nature of the chatbots’ responses highlights their failure to recognize the complex and specific experiences or situations, making the chatbots’ suggestions feel emotionally disengaged, ” said Ma, a co-first author of the paper. The chatbots also gave some participants bad advice — telling one person to quit his job, without considering his financial or personal consequences. Ma stressed, “There are ways we could improve these limitations by fine tuning the LLMs for contexts relevant to the users of a specific community, or regularly updating feedback loops, but we wonder if this tendency to adopt technology at every aspect of social problem is the right approach,” said Ma. “There are aspects of mental health that cannot be solved with LLM chatbots — such as discrimination, bullying, or the lack of representation. For that, we need a complete support system.” 28. Why did the researchers conduct the study? A. To prove the advancement of the apps. B. To evaluate whether the apps are worth their prices. C. To identify what challenges the marginalized groups face. D. To find out how well the apps meet the needs of certain groups. 29. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about the study? A. Its findings. B. Its process. C. Its participants. D. Its significance. 30. What do we know from the interview? A. Many participants admitted the chat-bots are helpful. B. Chat-bots tend to fail to identify complicated experiences. C. Chat-bots sometimes mislead users on their financial decisions. D. Altogether 31 persons participated in the test mentioned. 31. What does Ma think of using chat-bots to sovle social problems? A. Some technological limitations can never be overcome. B. A complete support system is needed other than technology. C. They need updating to successfully tackle all social problems. D. There exist moral concerns about using them to solve social issues. D There are many ways to be healthy in the modern era due to the innovations in medicine and fitness. Working out, eating clean, and taking our vitamins and supplements are all great ways to be healthy. Healthy distancing is another way to remove toxins (毒素) from our minds and bodies. A few years ago, the world came to a stop from a pandemic (大流行病), and the term social distance came about to be. Similarly, based on a common principle, we sometimes have to distance ourselves from what can be a mind virus that is more sophisticated than any known biological disease. It’s completely OK to give ourselves space from those who don’t mean well to us. Misery is infectious and weakens our immune system to become bitter. Usually, due to our internal defense mechanisms and instinctual reactions, we are alerted if a situation or person is not suitable for our well-being in a positive, self-preserving manner. If a relative or a friend is being harmful in their actions, the proper way to handle the form of abuse is to separate ourselves from the situation. Verify your self-worth in this world. Hang around more positive and productive people. We are the company we keep around. That is not an outdated saying. The company we keep close to reflects aspects of how we see ourselves. Our company reveals how far off or how close we are to the good andbad of this world. Learn to be OK with alone time, but don’t overdo it. It’s easy to get lost in the dense forest of seclusion (隔绝；隐居). Alone time is needed, but so many mental illnesses can come from remaining attracted to and separated from people. Depression, anger problems, paranoia, and a laundry list of self-inflicted injuries from the addiction of idolizing ourselves alone. Healthy distancing isn’t cutting someone off forever but making a mature decision to make sure our peace and happiness are solid. Healthy distancing maintains a balance of a stable mind, body, and spirit. 32. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To compare ways of keeping healthy. B. To introduce the topic — social distancing. C. To highlight the advancement of medicine. D. To clarify the necessity of keeping minds healthy. 33. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” mean in paragraph 2? A. Complicated. B. Sensitive. C. Intelligent. D. Delicate. 34. In what way does our company matter according to the text? A. It contributes to or damages our career. B. It keeps us away from mental illnesses. C. It reveals how we get along with this world. D. It mirrors how we see ourselves and the world. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards social distancing? A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Unclear. 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。 Chances are you’ve heard that meditation (冥想) is good for you. Most of us associate meditation with siting quietly in a dark room and clearing your mind for 20 minutes in perfect silence. ___36___ Gratitude meditation simply means focusing on and acknowledging the things you are grateful for. ___37___ Therefore, it’s very easy to build a gratitude meditation practice. ___38___ In fact, studies have shown that being mindfully grateful can actually rewire your brain to make you better able to deal with life’s challenges going forward. It promotes optimism and can calm you down when you are feeling anxious or stressed. By focusing on the people, places, things, and experiences that you are grateful for rather than what you don’t have or what you have lost, your day-to-day mood can improve, and your ability to see the good over the bad can be strengthened. Sometimes, we can have a bit of a prejudice towards negativity. This keeps us alert (警觉的) to and safe from danger. ___39___ We can easily forget the positive things in our lives when we focus on what we have to do when things are bad. The point of gratitude meditation, however, is not to forget or ignore the injustices or suffering in the world, nor is it meant to erase the problems you yourself are struggling with. Instead, it works to open our eyes to the larger systems at play in our lives. ___40___ Practicing gratitude meditation can get us “unstuck” from a place of self-absorption or anxiety by encouraging us to look at the bigger picture. A. It can be done anywhere, at any time. B. But gratitude meditation is very different. C. A gratitude meditation can also be very specific. D. However, this nature does not always mean a good thing to us. E. It’s important to note that gratitude meditation is not a cure-all. F. It helps us recognize our successes while acknowledging our challenges. G. It’s been proven that practicing gratitude increases your feelings of happiness. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。 Wanderlust (酷爱旅游 ) is in my DNA.

This year was no exception. Boss Kende was an expert in tea-making and very fond of the flavor of tea. Seeing the green tea leaves drying, he felt like it was a grand and fascinating ceremony, as magical as the birth of a child. He was filled with joy when participating in this process, even feeling a little moved. After breakfast, Boss Kende went to the workshop. The familiar smell of tea leaves made him feel refreshed. The workers were busy working. All the tea leaves collected from the tea farmers yesterday were ready to be dried. “Ah, there you are, Boss!” When the workers saw him coming, they immediately greeted him. “Hi, guys! How is everything with you?” With a smile, he approached the iron pot used for drying tea leaves to start working. “Kende, this batch of tea is of very high quality, but it’s a pity the leaves were bitten by insects. I wonder whether the flavor will suffer because of it.” The man who was speaking was named Kipsang from the tea farm. When the tea leaves were delivered to the workshop from the farm, insects were clearly seen on the leaves. The son of Boss Kende proposed purchasing them at a lower price. When Kende learnt about this, he insisted his son still pay the originally agreed-to price. The villagers were very grateful, but felt a little indebted to Kende. “Don’t worry! This batch of tea leaves will be made into black tea. When they’re ready, we’ll first taste them before putting them on the market. In the worst case, if it’s actually a loss, I can still afford it.” The boss comforted Kipsang as he worked. Boss Kende kept holding up tea leaves and then spread them out in the pot. The water in the leaves was gradually evaporating. 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。 Just then, a refreshing pleasant smell blossomed out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Sometimes, what appears bad is not really bad,” Kende smiled after tasting the tea with his son. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是英语课听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。Tiny部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
