23-year-old Rachna Kumari is a soft-spoken young woman selling unique wheat stalk paintings (麦秆画) handmade by herself. Every morning, even before her mother awakens, she finishes cooking and cleaning before cycling 5km to run her shop alone. Over the past year, she has sold about 200 of her paintings, 50 of which were bought since she opened her shop in April this year.
However, back in 2019, Rachna had almost given up on life after having to leave school due to family’s financial problems. She became depressed, thinking she would have to spend the rest of her days doing household chores.
Around this time, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) came into the picture with Project Lehar, started to provide vocational training, entrepreneurship (创业), and life skills courses to young women. Project Lehar, run by AKF in partnership with The King’s Trust International, enables girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds to rediscover and realise their potential. This was a good opportunity for Rachna to not just continue her studies but also to convince her parents to drop her marriage plans.
After she was admitted into college through Project Lehar, she was also given some suggestions on entrepreneurial and career prospects. One such session on wheat stalk painting made her fall in love with this traditional art form of Bahraich and her creativity was brought out.
Now she is economically independent by selling wheat stalk paintings. However, Rachna is not resting on her achievements. Her shop also doubles up as a training centre where other girls from disadvantaged backgrounds like her who want to stand on their feet get a second chance to change their lives like she did.
While teaching these enthusiastic young girls is a joyful experience, what gives Rachna more pride is being chosen as a wheat stalk painting trainer by the foundation. From being a trainee under this project to now becoming its paid trainer, Rachna’s life has come full circle.
4. What once left Rachna in low spirits?
A. Losing her favorite job. B. Dropping out of school.
C. Riding to her shop alone. D. Doing household chores.
5. How did Rachna benefit from Project Lehar?
A. She received some donations from it. B. She had a new attitude toward marriage.
C. She was sponsored to open her own shop. D. She got the chance to continue her studies.
6. Which words can be used to describe Rachna?
A. Talented and modest. B. Outgoing and successful.
C Wealthy and independent. D. Hard-working and creative.
7. What brings Rachna more sense of achievement?
A. Becoming a first-rate woman artist. B. Giving financial help to disadvantaged girls.
C. Being selected as a wheat stalk painting trainer. D. Setting up the famous Project Lehar independently.

When people talk about suddenly remembering old memories , the memories they’ re referring to are usually episodic (情景的) memories. As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life.
Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know.
Usually, the recall of episodic and semantic memories has easily identifiable triggers (诱因) in our context. Context includes our physical surroundings as well as the aspects of our mental state, such as thoughts and feelings. For example, you’re eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. When someone says the word “Oscar”, the name of the movie that won the Oscar recently flashes in your mind. That belongs to semantic memory.
These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they’ve been called mind-pops (闪念).
Mind-pops shouldn’t be confused with insight, which is the sudden pop ping up of a potential solution to a complex problem in the mind. Thus, mind- pops are semantic or autobiographical memories that suddenly flash in our minds without an easily identifiable trigger.
Mind-pops may comprise any piece of information, be it an image, a sound, or a word. They’re often experienced by people when they’re engaged in mundane tasks like mopping the floor or brushing teeth. Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind. For example, you’re reading a book, and suddenly, the image of your school corridor pops into your mind for no reason. What you were reading or thinking at the time had no connection to your school.
I do experience mind-pops from time to time. But when I tried to look for cues in my con text that may have triggered my mind-pops, I would fail. Maybe such mind-pops are completely random.
8. Which of the following might be episodic memory?
A. You predict a heavy rain is on the way.
B. A good idea flashes into your mind suddenly.
C. A song reminds you of your middle school graduation.
D. You think of a round shape when hearing the word “circle”.
9. What is a feature of mind-pops?
A. They have obvious triggers. B. They come out without warning.
C. They appear in the form of images. D. They often bring long- lasting memories.
10. What does the underlined word “mundane” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Careful. B. Dull. C. Necessary. D. Challenging.
11. What is the aim of this passage?
A. To explore human inner thoughts. B. To point out the memory formation.
C. To distinguish different memory scenes. D. To explain some similar memory phenomena.
D
A new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the “usefulness” of stories — their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI “professionalizes” stories making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring.
In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three- sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI- generated ideas for their inspiration.
They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and “usefulness”. They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI- generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier.
The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Association Task (DAT) and found that more creative writers — those with the highest DAT scores — benefitted least from generative AI ideas.
Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written, up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to 15.2% less boring.
Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.”
12. What were some participants assigned to do in the study?
A. Help targeted young writers. B. Improve some less creative works.
C. Create a mini story for young men. D. Use AI to judge the quality of stories.
13. Who benefitted most from the AI-assisted writing in the study?
A. Those using AI most. B. Those of most creativity.
C. Those with the help of ChatGPT. D. Those writing the most.
14 What might be Anil Doshi’s attitude toward the AI-assisted writing?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive.
15. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays
B. AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers..
C. AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages
D. AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers

阅读下面短文,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。
Wildfires can bring seemingly unavoidable destruction. So once the fire is put out, people begin to assess how to rebuild. ____16____ Researchers believe climate change is making fires burn hotter and longer than ever before, causing more severe damage to the land. In the wake of wildfires, we have to act as caretakers for the earth. We need to nurture (培育) damaged ecosystems back to health. ____17____
Trees can be restorative. Trees can be protective. For example, the dangers associated with a wildfire don’t always end when the flames go out. ____18____ That’s because the extra dry ground can liquify more easily if exposed to rainfall. But when trees are in the ground, their roots can help stabilize the soil. This reduces the risk of landslides.
____19____ Over time, this process helps slow the worsening effects of climate change. Researchers say climate change is one of the root reasons behind the increased frequency and severity of wildfires and other natural disasters. By using trees to control the carbon released into the air, we can also limit the amount of climate- related disasters.
There’s a lot of science behind the benefits a tree can bring. ____20____ In communities struck by wildfire, people’s sense of security is as damaged as the land. To move forward, people need a reminder that we can start again. When we re plant a fallen tree, we’re making a meaningful investment in the future. Every time new roots are planted, it’s an affirmation of the desire to strengthen community pride. Standing trees signal that we have not lost hope.
A. But there’s an emotional factor here, too.
B. Unfortunately, that process can take years.
C. Many animals would die in the wildfire, too.
D. And these benefits have been already proved.
E. The risk of a landslide increases after a wildfire.
F. Planting trees is one of the best ways we have available.
G. Trees can also store carbon, helping limit emissions into the atmosphere.

Dressed in my white polo shirt and black pants, I was ready for my first day as a fashion’s worker. I had been working on a register for over two weeks when they decided that I was ready to work as a shop assistant.
I remember the feeling of excitement because this was something new, and nervousness because I didn’t know what was going to happen. I didn’t even know whom I would be working with. So many thoughts came floating into my head as I walked from my car to the store.
“What if the customers don’t like me? What if I can’t handle this job? Will I remember everything?” With my mind filled with all these what ifs, I walked back to the break room and put my purse in my locker. Then, with my shaking hands and upset stomach, I walked back to the front of the store and met with Theresa at the service desk where Theresa greeted me warmly.
“We are going to have you work with Vicki today. She is a friendly lady and takes charge of the men’s department. She can teach you how to communicate with the customers. So let’s take a walk back to the men’s department, and she can get you trained in,” Theresa said.
“Okay,” I replied with nervousness.
Walking for what seemed like a long time, we finally reached our destination. Vicki, a young lady in her early thirties, came bouncing out to receive us with a light- hearted walk and a brilliant white smile. We must have caught her a little off guard because she stopped, stared at us for a moment, and said, “Hi Theresa!”
“Hey, Vicki! I’d like you to meet Kayli. She is going to be working with you for the next couple of weeks.” Theresa introduced me to this young lady.
“Hi, Kayli,” she replied with more enthusiasm than I had expected.
“Well, I’ll leave it up to you, Vicki.” Theresa happily replied, then turned and walked away, leaving Vicki and me standing there.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
In front of a stranger alone my nervousness grew.

Listening to her words I started to relax and had more confidence in myself.

【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了认知心理学的几种现象,如情景记忆、语义记忆还有闪念及其与顿悟之间的差异等。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, you’re eating a dish at a restaurant, and its smell reminds you of a similar dish your mom used to make. This is episodic memory. (例如,你在餐馆吃一道菜,它的味道让你想起了你妈妈以前做过的类似的菜。这就是情景记忆.)”可知,情景记忆就是类似的物质环境和精神状态引起我们曾经的记忆,所以C项“一首歌让你想起中学毕业”属于情景记忆的范畴。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“These memories had obvious triggers in our context, but sometimes, the memories that flash in our minds have no identifiable triggers. They seem to flash across our minds out of nowhere; therefore, they’ve been called mind-pops (闪念). (这些记忆在我们的环境中有明显的触发点,但有时,在我们脑海中闪现的记忆没有可识别的触发点。它们似乎不知从哪里在我们脑海中闪过;因此,它们被称为闪念。)”可知,闪念是在脑海中闪现的记忆,没有可识别的触发点,突然在我们脑海中闪过。故选B项。
10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后面的例子“like mopping the floor or brushing teeth (从事拖地或刷牙)”以及“Such ordinary and unexciting routines tend to inspire something in our mind (这些平凡无奇的日常往往会激发我们的思想)”可知,刷牙、拖地是单调的日常工作,由此推断B选项词义与画线词词义接近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When people talk about suddenly remembering old memories , the memories they’ re referring to are usually episodic (情景的) memories. As the name suggests, this type of memory stores the scenes of our life. (当人们说突然想起旧记忆时,他们指的通常是情景记忆。顾名思义,这种类型的记忆存储了我们生活中的场景。)”以及第二段“Another type of memory that can also be suddenly remembered is semantic memory. Our semantic memory is the storehouse of our knowledge, containing all the facts we know. (另一种可以被突然记住的记忆是语义记忆。我们的语义记忆是我们知识的仓库,包含了我们所知道的所有事实。)”以及通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了什么是情景记忆、语义记忆、闪念及其与顿悟的区别等,由此推断文章的目的是解释一些相似的记忆现象。故选D项。
D
A new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the “usefulness” of stories — their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI “professionalizes” stories, making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring.
In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three- sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI- generated ideas for their inspiration.
They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and “usefulness”. They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI- generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier.
The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Association Task (DAT) and found that more creative writers — those with the highest DAT scores — benefitted least from generative AI ideas.
Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written, up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to 15.2% less boring.
Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.”
12 What were some participants assigned to do in the study?
A. Help targeted young writers. B. Improve some less creative works.
C. Create a mini story for young men. D. Use AI to judge the quality of stories.
13. Who benefitted most from the AI-assisted writing in the study?
A. Those using AI most. B. Those of most creativity.
C. Those with the help of ChatGPT. D. Those writing the most.
14. What might be Anil Doshi’s attitude toward the AI-assisted writing?
A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive.
15. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays
B. AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers..
C. AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages
D. AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI如何提升写作创意,但也存在集体创新性下降的风险。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“ In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults.(在一项研究中,300名参与者被要求为年轻成人写一个简短的八句话的“微型故事”。)”可知,参与者被要求为年轻成人写一个简短的八句话的微型故事。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI.(他们发现,使用最多AI的作家在创造力方面获得了最大的提升,他们的故事在新颖性上得分高出8.1%,在实用性上得分高出9%,与没有使用AI创作的故事相比。)”可知,那些得到AI帮助最多的参与者写出的故事更具创意性,他们获益最大。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段Anil Doshi的话“While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.(虽然这些结果表明个人创造力有所提高,但也存在失去集体创新性的风险。如果出版行业更多地使用由生成式AI启发的故事,我们的研究发现这些故事会变得更加相似,独特性降低。这种现象在写作中是不被鼓励的。)”可知,Anil Doshi既提到了人工智能辅助生成故事的优点:个人创造力有所提高,也提到了缺点:集体创造力存在丧失的风险,因此他的评价是客观的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段“Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.”(UCL管理学院的助理教授Anil Doshi说:“虽然这些结果表明个人创造力有所提高,但也存在失去集体创新性的风险。如果出版行业更多地使用由生成式AI启发的故事,我们的研究发现这些故事会变得更加相似,独特性降低。这种现象在写作中是不被鼓励的。”)”可知,本文主要介绍了人工智能可以提高故事创意的新颖性,但同时也会使AI协助的写作产生相似性,故判断C选项“AI可以提升写作中的创造力,但也存在缺点”可以作为文章标题。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Wildfires can bring seemingly unavoidable destruction. So once the fire is put out, people begin to assess how to rebuild. ____16____ Researchers believe climate change is making fires burn hotter and longer than ever before, causing more severe damage to the land. In the wake of wildfires, we have to act as caretakers for the earth. We need to nurture (培育) damaged ecosystems back to health. ____17____
Trees can be restorative. Trees can be protective. For example the dangers associated with a wildfire don’t always end when the flames go out. ____18____ That’s because the extra dry ground can liquify more easily if exposed to rainfall. But when trees are in the ground, their roots can help stabilize the soil. This reduces the risk of landslides.
____19____ Over time, this process helps slow the worsening effects of climate change. Researchers say climate change is one of the root reasons behind the increased frequency and severity of wildfires and other natural disasters. By using trees to control the carbon released into the air, we can also limit the amount of climate- related disasters.
There’s a lot of science behind the benefits a tree can bring. ____20____ In communities struck by wildfire, people’s sense of security is as damaged as the land. To move forward, people need a reminder that we can start again. When we re plant a fallen tree, we’re making a meaningful investment in the future. Every time new roots are planted, it’s an affirmation of the desire to strengthen community pride. Standing trees signal that we have not lost hope.
A. But there’s an emotional factor here, too.
B. Unfortunately, that process can take years.
C. Many animals would die in the wildfire, too.
D. And these benefits have been already proved.
E. The risk of a landslide increases after a wildfire.
F. Planting trees is one of the best ways we have available.
G. Trees can also store carbon, helping limit emissions into the atmosphere.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. E 19. G 20. A

【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:随着瑶族人从国内其他地方迁居至此,他们在茶中加入了生姜。本句是as引导的时间状语从句,move作从句谓语,根据主句的谓语动词added可以判断时间状语从句应该用一般过去时,且表示主动含义。故填moved。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:恭城油茶在宋代继续改进,添加了更多的成分。空前是定冠词,所以空处应填名词作介词with的宾语,add的名词形式是addition。故填addition。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在明清时期,为了减少准备时间,茶在煮之前会和其他材料一起炒。本句已有谓语动词was fried,所以reduce用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表达“为了减少”之意,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to reduce。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:人们主要使用大叶绿茶,通常在清明和谷雨期间收获。空处修饰空后的动词,用副词修饰。故填typically。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:然后茶叶经过几个过程成为茶,包括煎炒、碾压、干燥和储存。空前是形容词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,process意为“过程”为可数名词,根据several可知,用复数形式。故填processes。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:制作贡城油茶的关键在于两个重要步骤:轻锤和硬压。此处是固定搭配:the key to…意为“是……的关键”,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填The。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:茶必须轻轻敲打,用力按压,同时要小心控制温度,以免茶壶底部烧焦。control作本句谓语,本句介绍油茶的制作过程,应该用一般现在时,主语the heat和control之间是被动关系,用被动语态,主语为不可数名词。故填is controlled。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:茶必须轻轻敲打,用力按压,同时要小心控制温度,以免茶壶底部烧焦。keep… from doing为固定搭配,表示“阻止……”。故填from。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:当成品油茶具有丰富的黄绿色时,是最好的。修饰名词oil tea应该用形容词作定语,finished表示“完成了的,结束了的”。故填finished。

47. 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。
Dressed in my white polo shirt and black pants, I was ready for my first day as a fashion’s worker. I had been working on a register for over two weeks when they decided that I was ready to work as a shop assistant.
I remember the feeling of excitement because this was something new, and nervousness because I didn’t know what was going to happen. I didn’t even know whom I would be working with. So many thoughts came floating into my head as I walked from my car to the store.
“What if the customers don’t like me? What if I can’t handle this job? Will I remember everything?” With my mind filled with all these what ifs, I walked back to the break room and put my purse in my locker. Then, with my shaking hands and upset stomach, I walked back to the front of the store and met with Theresa at the service desk where Theresa greeted me warmly.
“We are going to have you work with Vicki today. She is a friendly lady and takes charge of the men’s department. She can teach you how to communicate with the customers. So let’s take a walk back to the men’s department, and she can get you trained in,” Theresa said.
“Okay,” I replied with nervousness.
Walking for what seemed like a long time, we finally reached our destination. Vicki, a young lady in her early thirties, came bouncing out to receive us with a light- hearted walk and a brilliant white smile. We must have caught her a little off guard because she stopped, stared at us for a moment, and said, “Hi Theresa!”
“Hey, Vicki! I’d like you to meet Kayli. She is going to be working with you for the next couple of weeks.” Theresa introduced me to this young lady.
“Hi, Kayli,” she replied with more enthusiasm than I had expected.
“Well, I’ll leave it up to you, Vicki.” Theresa happily replied, then turned and walked away, leaving Vicki and me standing there.

【答案】One possible version:
In front of a stranger alone, my nervousness grew. I had a smile on my face. But as a matter of fact, I had butterflies in my stomach. I expected the usual uncomfortable silence that always happens when two strangers meet and are supposed to be friends right away, but I was wrong. Vicki was very comfortable to be around and easy to talk to. She felt my nervousness. “Take it easy. Just be yourself and you will do a good job,” Vicki smiled at me. Then she explained different styles and trends, and how to assist customers.
Listening to her words, I started to relax and had more confidence in myself. I recited the information of many clothes and couldn’t wait to serve the customer on my own. That day I received ten customers and all of them showed satisfaction with me. I regained my confidence and no longer doubted myself. That day, I ended up learning more than just the tasks of a fashion’s worker. I learned to communicate, and to just be myself. Vicki has taught me that it was okay to be myself, and for that, I will be forever grateful.
