第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Roald Dahl wrote lots of books for both children and adults, and lots of people say that he is their favourite children’s author. We’ve compiled a list of our favourite Roald Dahl books for you.
James And The Giant Peach
After his parents are killed by a rhinoceros, four-year-old James is forced to live with his horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. After years of being treated as a slave by them (and being forced to sleep on the floor), James accidentally creates a giant peach, in which he escapes and flies around the world. For company, he has a gang of giant talking insects to chat to.
The Twits
Quite possibly the most horrible couple ever, this book tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Twit and the horrible tricks they play on each other. Roald Dahl hated beards, so it’s no wonder that Mr. Twit’s beard is full of disgusting stuff including sardine (沙丁鱼) tails, and tomato sauce, sprouts of old vegetables, pieces of cornflakes, foul and smelly cheese, squashed flies and bits of eggs and bacon! Don’t worry, his wife is equally horrible!
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean are determined to catch Mr. Fox, and this is the story of how they try to trap him by digging him out as he tunnels for food for his family. But the farmers seem to forget that foxes are known to be smart for good reason.
Matilda
Five-year-old Matilda is a genius who loves books and reading — but unfortunately for her, her parents like watching TV and tricking people and they have no idea how clever she is. It’s all made worse by her horrible headmaster Miss Trunchbull, who likes swinging children by their hair and throwing them out of the window. But when Matilda discovers she has supernatural powers, the fun begins!
1. If Jim has a preference for stories about wise animals, which book would you recommend?
A. Matilda. B. The Twits.
C. Fantastic Mr. Fox. D. James And The Giant Peach.
2. What do James And The Giant Peach and Matilda have in common?
A. Both characters are kindly adopted.
B. Both characters have special powers.
C Both characters enjoy reading and insects.

C. Cooking Delights. D. Technology Today.

BLACK MYTH: WUKONG, China’s first AAA video game, has proved a big success. Within an hour of its release on August 20, the game rose to the top of the global chart on Steam, a leading gaming platform. Over 2.2 million active players were recorded at its peak.
Adapted from the Chinese classic Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong recreates the story of its most beloved character. What sets the game apart is its stunning graphics, immersive game play and its deep connection with traditional culture. Players not only enjoy the game for its combat (打斗) and storyline but also for its fine recreation of historical sites. “The ancient buildings in the game are well integrated with the storyline. I’m planning to visit the filming locations soon to experience the cultural heritage first hand,” said a player from Beijing. In addition to artistic illustrations, the game developers used 3D scanning technology to recreate these ancient wonders. This allows for a more lifelike insight into China’s architectural past.
The game’s impact reaches beyond the virtual world, though. An interest in ancient architecture has grown among young people. In response, Shanxi Province, one of the game’s key filming locations, is actively promoting its rich cultural resources to meet the growing demand. Known as the “treasure of ancient Chinese architecture,” Shanxi is home to 531 nationally protected cultural heritage sites. They make up 10.5 percent of China’s total, the highest in the nation. Among 36 filming locations of Black Myth: Wukong, 27 are located in Shanxi. “We’ve received oceans of visitors a day since July, a threefold increase year on year (同比),” said Liu Xiaogang, the director of the scenic area. Most of the visitors are fans of the popular game who have traveled long distances to the location, he added. On the day of the game’s release, tourism interest in Shanxi reportedly doubled compared to the previous month.
To capitalize on this trend, Shanxi quickly rolled out an ancient architecture tour on August 22, Besides the “Follow Wukong Through Shanxi” route map, it has also developed a variety of cultural products.
4. What distinguishes “Black Myth: Wukong” from other games?
A. It is the most successful game.
B. It employs advanced technology.
C. It features attractive characters.
D. It is integrated with traditional culture.
5. How does the author show the game’s impact on tourism?
A. Using statistics. B. Giving a definition.
C. Listing examples. D. Making a comparison.
6. What does the phrase “capitalize on” mean in the last paragraph mean?
A. Take advantage of. B. Make money from.
C. Catch up with. D. Catch on.
7. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. The game sparked interest in ancient Chinese literature.
B. The government launched measures to promote tourism.
C. Tourism interest doubled in Shanxi compared to last year.
D. Most protected cultural heritage sites are located in Shanxi.
C
Do you know that the human brain doesn’t reach full maturity (成熟) until people are in their mid-20s? Brains develop our emotions first and our capacity for reasoning second.
Before the age of about 25, the brain relies heavily on the limbic system (大脑边缘系统), which is responsible for emotional responses, while the logical, decision-making part (known as the prefrontal cortex) is still in the process of developing. It’s not that the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) doesn’t function at all for the first 25 years of life — rather, that it’s a work in progress.
To understand how the mind works, it can be useful to know the roles that these two parts of the brain play. The limbic system processes sensory information — everything you see, smell, touch, taste, hear. When you sense danger, this translates to fear and will likely lead to action. It’s also the part of the brain involved in seeking out rewards and new experiences, which might be found through spending time with friends or doing exciting activities. Meanwhile, some of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex are to plan ahead, control impulsive (易冲动的) behaviours, and drive social interaction and self-awareness. It might be helpful to think of the limbic system as the accelerator and the prefrontal cortex as the brakes.
Having a fully functioning accelerator when your brakes don’t quite work yet might seem like a recipe for disaster — and sometimes it can be. But your brain is evolving in this way for a good reason: to allow you to adapt to your environment. Scientists call this plasticity (可塑性). This special quality is what makes the teen years the best time to keep your options open, learn new skills, and to prepare for the future. In evolutionary terms, it’s extremely beneficial, but can also come with some challenges.
Understanding more about the inner workings of the brain at different life stages can help you to better respond, communicate, and seek support when it’s needed. Plus, it can teach you to be nicer to yourself and let go of mistakes. It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works.
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To set the background. B. To present a discovery.
C. To introduce the topic. D. To express the purpose.
9. What is more likely to occur in teenagers and young adults?
A. Higher levels of self-control. B. Afore frequent impulsive behaviors.
C. More cautious risk assessment. D. Stronger long-term planning abilities.
10. Which of the following can you infer from the passage?
A. The prefrontal cortex doesn’t function for the first 25 years.
B. The limbic system develops later than the prefrontal cortex.
C. Sensory information is closely related to the prefrontal cortex.
D. Immature decisions are acceptable during developmental years.
11. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A. Benefits of delayed brain maturation.
B. Biological basis of adolescent risk-taking.
C. Emotional Functions of the limbic system.
D. Value of understanding brain development.
D
Despite ChatGPT positioning itself as a productivity booster for workers, two recent studies show that women use it 16 to 20 percentage points less than men, even when employed in the same jobs or fields. This indicates that not everyone has embraced the technology.
A study by researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Copenhagen surveyed 100000 Danish workers across 11 professions on their usage of ChatGPT, relating responses with personal data like income and education. The results indicated that women less tended to use ChatGPT compared to men in the same fields For instance, while about one-third of female teachers employed ChatGPT, this number rose to half among males. Even within the same companies performing similar tasks, a 16 percentage point difference was observed. This gap suggests that a lack of confidence among women, who reported the need for training, might contribute to lower adoption rates.
Another potential explanation comes from research by researchers at Aalto University and the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). It revealed a gender imbalance in ChatGPT usage among students, with female students in NHH’s undergraduate program being 18 percentage points less likely to use it frequently. This trend was particularly evident among mid-to-high-performing women. Follow-up questions indicated that high-achieving women would self-enforce restrictions, suggesting a ‘good girl’ behavior where they prefer to accomplish tasks independently without shortcuts. Low performers were almost as likely as men to use the technology.
A lack of AI experience can be costly when entering the job market. Researchers surveyed 1,143 hiring managers and found that they value high-performing women with AI skills 8% more than those without. This advantage does not apply to men, indicating rewards for women who relax their self-imposed bans,
Tera Allas from McKinsey warns that Al, chiefly used by men, might eventually tailor more for them, potentially shutting women out in the long term. However, Danielle Li of MIT notes these studies don’t prove if men’s ChatGPT use results in better or more productive work. Currently, she suggests, the technology might just be a digital toy, and high-achieving women might excel at avoiding distractions.
12. What do we know about the studies mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. Less than 16% females use AI to teach.
B. Everyone does not welcome AI technology.
C. Males use AI for work 50% more than females.
D. People from 11 different countries are interviewed.
13. Which may contribute to the lower adoption rate of ChatGPT among women?
A. Self-set limits. B. Workplace gender inequality.
C. Digital skills gap. D. Insufficient technology access.
14. What is true according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Current ChatGPT usage improves productivity.
B. Women without AI experience are valued equally.
C. Women may be excluded if not adopting technology.
D. Hiring managers don’t consider AI skills when evaluating.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. ChatGPT usage varies between genders.
B. ChatGPT is effective in boosting productivity.
C. Hiring managers value AI skills in candidates.
D. High-achieving women avoid using ChatGPT.

Overthinking can trap you in a cycle of worry and doubt, making decisions feel impossible. ____16____ Below are three strategies to help you break free and start living the life you deserve.
Limit the Time You Spend on Decisions
One of the main causes of overthinking is the fear of making the wrong decision, which often leads to hours, days, or even weeks of indecision. To counter this, give yourself a time limit to make decisions. By imposing a time limit, you force your brain to focus on what truly matters.
____17____
Overthinking, driven by worries about the past or future, pulls you from the present and increases stress. Mindfulness is a powerful solution to overthinking because it settles you in the here and now. When falling into a cycle of overthinking, pause and take a few deep breaths. ____18____ These simple practices bring you back to the present and help interrupt the cycle of overthinking.
Take Action to Break the Cycle
Overthinking leads to inaction, fueling more overthinking. One of the most effective ways to disrupt this cycle is to take immediate action, no matter how small. Action breeds progress, and progress helps quiet the overthinking mind. Taking action also builds confidence. ____19____ This realization can significantly reduce the need to overthink as you learn to trust your ability to adapt and respond in real time.
Overthinking is a trap, but it’s one you can escape. By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back. ____20____
A. Practice mindfulness to ground yourself.
B. Embrace relaxation through mindfulness.
C. Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it.
D. The more you act, the more you realize you can handle whatever comes your way.
E. However, the good news is that overthinking is a natural tendency, and it is here to stay.
F. Focus on your breath, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the sounds around you.
G. However, the good news is that overthinking is a habit, and like any habit, it can be broken.

Finding the Perfect Sandy
“Ashley, our Sandy is singing again!”
The stage manager called to me, and I walked on stage to clip the leash (扣上皮带) onto Baily, the dog playing the role of Sandy, who was supposed to be merely a supporting role in the school musical. Our director was very close to just getting a toy animal or an actor in a dog suit. Baily was our third Sandy, but I knew he would not be the last.
“Ashley, can you please find another dog for us by Monday?” asked Mr. Loomis, our director and drama teacher.
“OK!” I knew that this dog had to be perfect.
“I think I can help you get a dog,” offered Jose, our assistant director. “In fairness, Mr. Loomis has to keep our program going. There are always threats to cut it, so he doesn’t want to see anything too odd onstage.” José added.
That was why I chose to stay backstage, despite my love for singing and dancing. My giant birthmark (胎记) that covered half of my face would be too much of a distraction. I had been in the group for one musical, and loved it, but afterward I overheard a lady telling Mr. Loomis how kind it had been for him to cast (选角) me. After that, I quit and worked behind the scenes.
“Let’s avoid odd,” I agreed.
Jose nodded. “I texted my neighbor Mrs. Kart who runs a shelter, immediately Baily started howling. She replied me right back saying she knew the perfect dog.”
We walked to Mrs. Kart’s shelter. “I have got the dog for you!” she announced. “His name is Farley. He works part-time at the airport comforting passengers who are nervous about flying.” Then she burst back through the door with a cute bundle of energy. Farley had soulful eyes and black and white spots, but the main thing about him was that he was missing a leg.
“He’s a three-legged dog!” I exclaimed, stating the obvious. Both Jose and I stood back for a moment as we considered this dog.
I sighed. “Are there any other dogs at the shelter?”
Para 1: Unfortunately, my weekend search did not produce any other possibilities.

Para 2: “I thought that performers had to be perfect.” I said to Mr. Loomis after the performance.

A
Roald Dahl wrote lots of books for both children and adults, and lots of people say that he is their favourite children’s author. We’ve compiled a list of our favourite Roald Dahl books for you.
James And The Giant Peach
After his parents are killed by a rhinoceros, four-year-old James is forced to live with his horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. After years of being treated as a slave by them (and being forced to sleep on the floor), James accidentally creates a giant peach, in which he escapes and flies around the world. For company, he has a gang of giant talking insects to chat to.
The Twits
Quite possibly the most horrible couple ever, this book tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Twit and the horrible tricks they play on each other. Roald Dahl hated beards, so it’s no wonder that Mr. Twit’s beard is full of disgusting stuff including sardine (沙丁鱼) tails, and tomato sauce, sprouts of old vegetables, pieces of cornflakes, foul and smelly cheese, squashed flies and bits of eggs and bacon!

BLACK MYTH: WUKONG, China’s first AAA video game, has proved a big success. Within an hour of its release on August 20, the game rose to the top of the global chart on Steam, a leading gaming platform. Over 2.2 million active players were recorded at its peak.
Adapted from the Chinese classic Journey to the West, Black Myth: Wukong recreates the story of its most beloved character. What sets the game apart is its stunning graphics, immersive game play and its deep connection with traditional culture. Players not only enjoy the game for its combat (打斗) and storyline but also for its fine recreation of historical sites. “The ancient buildings in the game are well integrated with the storyline. I’m planning to visit the filming locations soon to experience the cultural heritage first hand,” said a player from Beijing. In addition to artistic illustrations, the game developers used 3D scanning technology to recreate these ancient wonders. This allows for a more lifelike insight into China’s architectural past.
The game’s impact reaches beyond the virtual world, though. An interest in ancient architecture has grown among young people. In response, Shanxi Province, one of the game’s key filming locations, is actively promoting its rich cultural resources to meet the growing demand. Known as the “treasure of ancient Chinese architecture,” Shanxi is home to 531 nationally protected cultural heritage sites. They make up 10.5 percent of China’s total, the highest in the nation. Among 36 filming locations of Black Myth: Wukong, 27 are located in Shanxi. “We’ve received oceans of visitors a day since July, a threefold increase year on year (同比),” said Liu Xiaogang, the director of the scenic area. Most of the visitors are fans of the popular game who have traveled long distances to the location, he added. On the day of the game’s release, tourism interest in Shanxi reportedly doubled compared to the previous month.
To capitalize on this trend, Shanxi quickly rolled out an ancient architecture tour on August 22, Besides the “Follow Wukong Through Shanxi” route map, it has also developed a variety of cultural products.
4. What distinguishes “Black Myth: Wukong” from other games?
A. It is the most successful game.
B. It employs advanced technology.
C. It features attractive characters.
D. It is integrated with traditional culture.
5. How does the author show the game’s impact on tourism?
A. Using statistics. B. Giving a definition.
C. Listing examples. D. Making a comparison.
6. What does the phrase “capitalize on” mean in the last paragraph mean?
A. Take advantage of. B. Make money from.
C. Catch up with. D. Catch on.
7. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. The game sparked interest in ancient Chinese literature.
B. The government launched measures to promote tourism.
C. Tourism interest doubled in Shanxi compared to last year.
D. Most protected cultural heritage sites are located in Shanxi.

推理判断题。根据文章第三段““We’ve received oceans of visitors a day since July, a threefold increase year on year (同比),” said Liu Xiaogang, the director of the scenic area.(景区负责人刘晓刚说:“自7月以来,我们每天接待的游客数量大幅增加,同比增长了三倍。”)”以及“On the day of the game’s release, tourism interest in Shanxi reportedly doubled compared to the previous month.(据报道,在游戏发行当天,山西省的旅游兴趣较上月翻了一番)”等内容可知,文章对比游戏发行前后山西省的旅游情况来展示该游戏对旅游业的影响,可推理出作者是通过作比较的方式来体现的,故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“To capitalize on this trend, Shanxi quickly rolled out an ancient architecture tour on August 22, Besides the “Follow Wukong Through Shanxi” route map, it has also developed a variety of cultural products.(为了……这一趋势,山西省于8月22日迅速推出了古建筑之旅。除了“跟着悟空游山西”路线图外,还开发了多种文化产品)”,结合前文提到游戏带动了当地旅游业发展,这里山西省推出相关旅游活动及产品,应是要利用这一趋势,所以“capitalize on”意为“利用”,与“Take advantage of”意思相近,故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The game’s impact reaches beyond the virtual world, though. An interest in ancient architecture has grown among young people. In response, Shanxi Province, one of the game’s key filming locations, is actively promoting its rich cultural resources to meet the growing demand.(游戏的影响不仅限于虚拟世界。年轻人对古建筑的兴趣日益浓厚。作为游戏主要拍摄地之一的山西省,正在积极响应,推广其丰富的文化资源以满足不断增长的需求)”以及最后一段“To capitalize on this trend, Shanxi quickly rolled out an ancient architecture tour on August 22, Besides the “Follow Wukong Through Shanxi” route map, it has also developed a variety of cultural products.(为了抓住这一趋势,山西迅速于8月22日推出了古建筑旅游线路。除了“跟着悟空游山西”的路线图外,还开发了多种文化产品)”可知,因为游戏《黑神话:悟空》引发了年轻人对古建筑的兴趣,山西省作为游戏的主要拍摄地之一,积极推广其丰富的文化资源以满足日益增长的需求,如推出古建筑之旅、开发多种文化产品等,由此可推断出政府采取了措施来促进旅游业发展,故选B项。

Do you know that the human brain doesn’t reach full maturity (成熟) until people are in their mid-20s? Brains develop our emotions first and our capacity for reasoning second.
Before the age of about 25, the brain relies heavily on the limbic system (大脑边缘系统), which is responsible for emotional responses, while the logical, decision-making part (known as the prefrontal cortex) is still in the process of developing. It’s not that the prefrontal cortex (前额皮质) doesn’t function at all for the first 25 years of life — rather, that it’s a work in progress.
To understand how the mind works, it can be useful to know the roles that these two parts of the brain play. The limbic system processes sensory information — everything you see, smell, touch, taste, hear. When you sense danger, this translates to fear and will likely lead to action. It’s also the part of the brain involved in seeking out rewards and new experiences, which might be found through spending time with friends or doing exciting activities. Meanwhile, some of the important roles of the prefrontal cortex are to plan ahead, control impulsive (易冲动的) behaviours, and drive social interaction and self-awareness. It might be helpful to think of the limbic system as the accelerator and the prefrontal cortex as the brakes.
Having a fully functioning accelerator when your brakes don’t quite work yet might seem like a recipe for disaster — and sometimes it can be. But your brain is evolving in this way for a good reason: to allow you to adapt to your environment. Scientists call this plasticity (可塑性). This special quality is what makes the teen years the best time to keep your options open, learn new skills, and to prepare for the future. In evolutionary terms, it’s extremely beneficial, but can also come with some challenges.
Understanding more about the inner workings of the brain at different life stages can help you to better respond, communicate, and seek support when it’s needed. Plus, it can teach you to be nicer to yourself and let go of mistakes. It’s worth remembering that not everything you do is a fully conscious decision — some of it is heavily influenced by the way your developing brain works.
8 What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To set the background. B. To present a discovery.
C To introduce the topic. D. To express the purpose.
9. What is more likely to occur in teenagers and young adults?
A. Higher levels of self-control. B. Afore frequent impulsive behaviors.
C. More cautious risk assessment. D. Stronger long-term planning abilities.

Despite ChatGPT positioning itself as a productivity booster for workers, two recent studies show that women use it 16 to 20 percentage points less than men, even when employed in the same jobs or fields. This indicates that not everyone has embraced the technology.
A study by researchers from the University of Chicago and the University of Copenhagen surveyed 100,000 Danish workers across 11 professions on their usage of ChatGPT, relating responses with personal data like income and education. The results indicated that women less tended to use ChatGPT compared to men in the same fields For instance, while about one-third of female teachers employed ChatGPT, this number rose to half among males. Even within the same companies performing similar tasks, a 16 percentage point difference was observed. This gap suggests that a lack of confidence among women, who reported the need for training, might contribute to lower adoption rates.
Another potential explanation comes from research by researchers at Aalto University and the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). It revealed a gender imbalance in ChatGPT usage among students, with female students in NHH’s undergraduate program being 18 percentage points less likely to use it frequently. This trend was particularly evident among mid-to-high-performing women. Follow-up questions indicated that high-achieving women would self-enforce restrictions, suggesting a ‘good girl’ behavior where they prefer to accomplish tasks independently without shortcuts. Low performers were almost as likely as men to use the technology.
A lack of AI experience can be costly when entering the job market. Researchers surveyed 1,143 hiring managers and found that they value high-performing women with AI skills 8% more than those without. This advantage does not apply to men, indicating rewards for women who relax their self-imposed bans,
Tera Allas from McKinsey warns that Al, chiefly used by men, might eventually tailor more for them, potentially shutting women out in the long term. However, Danielle Li of MIT notes these studies don’t prove if men’s ChatGPT use results in better or more productive work. Currently, she suggests, the technology might just be a digital toy, and high-achieving women might excel at avoiding distractions.
12. What do we know about the studies mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. Less than 16% females use AI to teach.
B. Everyone does not welcome AI technology.
C. Males use AI for work 50% more than females.
D. People from 11 different countries are interviewed.
13. Which may contribute to the lower adoption rate of ChatGPT among women?
A. Self-set limits. B. Workplace gender inequality.
C. Digital skills gap. D. Insufficient technology access.
14. What is true according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. Current ChatGPT usage improves productivity.
B. Women without AI experience are valued equally.
C. Women may be excluded if not adopting technology.
D. Hiring managers don’t consider AI skills when evaluating.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. ChatGPT usage varies between genders.
B. ChatGPT is effective in boosting productivity.
C. Hiring managers value AI skills in candidates.
D. High-achieving women avoid using ChatGPT.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是女性在工作中使用ChatGPT的比例低于男性,这可能与女性的不自信、需要培训以及对独立完成任务的偏好有关,而缺乏AI经验可能会影响女性在职场的竞争力,但尚不确定男性使用ChatGPT是否能带来更好的工作效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段提到“Despite ChatGPT positioning itself as a productivity booster for workers, two recent studies show that women use it 16 to 20 percentage points less than men, even when employed in the same jobs or fields. This indicates that not everyone has embraced the technology.( 尽管ChatGPT将自己定位为工人的生产力助推器,但最近的两项研究表明,即使在从事相同的工作或领域时,女性使用它的比例也比男性低16到20个百分点。这表明并非所有人都接受了这项技术。)”可知,并非所有人都接受了这项技术,该描述与B选项“Everyone does not welcome AI technology.( 并不是所有人都欢迎人工智能技术。)”一致。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中提到“ Follow-up questions indicated that high-achieving women would self-enforce restrictions, suggesting a ‘good girl’ behavior where they prefer to accomplish tasks independently without shortcuts. Low performers were almost as likely as men to use the technology.( 后续问题表明,高成就女性会自我施加限制,这表现出一种“乖乖女”的行为,即她们更倾向于独立完成任务,而不走捷径。低绩效者使用这项技术的可能性几乎与男性相同。)”可知,高成就的女性会自我设限,更喜欢独立完成任务而不走捷径,由此导致女性对ChatGPT的采用率较低。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段提到“A lack of AI experience can be costly when entering the job market.(在进入就业市场时,缺乏人工智能经验可能代价高昂。)”可知,缺乏AI经验在求职时可能会付出代价;以及第五段中“Tera Allas from McKinsey warns that Al, chiefly used by men, might eventually tailor more for them, potentially shutting women out in the long term.(麦肯锡的Tera Allas警告说,主要由男性使用的人工智能最终可能会更多地为他们量身定制,这可能会在长期内将女性排除在外。)”可知,Tera Allas的警告也表明,如果AI主要由男性使用,它可能会最终更多地为他们定制,从而长期将女性排除在外即如果不采用科技,女性可能会被排除在外。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Despite ChatGPT positioning itself as a productivity booster for workers, two recent studies show that women use it 16 to 20 percentage points less than men, even when employed in the same jobs or fields. This indicates that not everyone has embraced the technology.( 尽管ChatGPT将自己定位为提高员工工作效率的工具,但最近的两项研究表明,即使在相同的工作或领域,女性使用ChatGPT的比例也比男性低16%至20%。这表明并非所有人都接受了这项技术。)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了两项关于ChatGPT使用情况的研究,研究显示女性在工作和学习中使用ChatGPT的比例明显低于男性,因此A选项“ChatGPT usage varies between genders. (ChatGPT的使用在性别之间存在差异)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选A。

Overthinking can trap you in a cycle of worry and doubt, making decisions feel impossible. ____16____ Below are three strategies to help you break free and start living the life you deserve.
Limit the Time You Spend on Decisions
One of the main causes of overthinking is the fear of making the wrong decision, which often leads to hours, days, or even weeks of indecision. To counter this, give yourself a time limit to make decisions. By imposing a time limit, you force your brain to focus on what truly matters.
____17____
Overthinking, driven by worries about the past or future, pulls you from the present and increases stress. Mindfulness is a powerful solution to overthinking because it settles you in the here and now. When falling into a cycle of overthinking, pause and take a few deep breaths. ____18____ These simple practices bring you back to the present and help interrupt the cycle of overthinking.
Take Action to Break the Cycle
Overthinking leads to inaction, fueling more overthinking. One of the most effective ways to disrupt this cycle is to take immediate action, no matter how small. Action breeds progress, and progress helps quiet the overthinking mind. Taking action also builds confidence. ____19____ This realization can significantly reduce the need to overthink as you learn to trust your ability to adapt and respond in real time.
Overthinking is a trap, but it’s one you can escape. By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back. ____20____
A. Practice mindfulness to ground yourself.
B. Embrace relaxation through mindfulness.
C. Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it.
D. The more you act, the more you realize you can handle whatever comes your way.
E. However, the good news is that overthinking is a natural tendency, and it is here to stay.
F. Focus on your breath, the sensation of your feet on the ground, or the sounds around you.
G. However, the good news is that overthinking is a habit, and like any habit, it can be broken.

【20题详解】
根据上文“By limiting your time on decisions, practicing mindfulness, and taking action, you can break free from the mental chatter holding you back.(通过限制做决策的时间、练习正念和采取行动,你可以从阻碍你的内心杂念中解脱出来)”可知,这里是在强调摆脱过度思考后能更好地享受生活,不要错过当下,与C项 “Life is happening right now — don’t let overthinking make you miss it.(生活正在当下发生 —— 不要让过度思考让你错过它)”表达的意思相符,故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了“兰亭·雅集”——中国豫剧、书法工作坊在巴黎开幕,文章介绍了活动中的豫剧表演情况以及该活动与即将举办的戏曲节的关系等内容。
【36题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意:吴素真,豫剧杰出传承人以及2019年中国传统艺术最高荣誉获得者,以传统的“青衣”角色表演了《梵王宫》的一个片段来讲述一个美丽的爱情故事。谓语动词perform与主语Wu Suzhen之间是主动关系,且根据上文提到的时间 “On June 30”可知动作发生在过去,所以要用一般过去时,故填performed。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:吴素真擅长青衣这一角色——通常表现出优雅和成熟的重要女性角色。此处需要一个名词作express的宾语,elegant的名词形式是elegance,不可数,故填elegance。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:豫剧起源于河南省,是中国主要的地方戏曲,拥有最多的演员和演出场次。句中is为谓语动词,空处为非谓语动词,动词originate与Yu Opera之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,使用现在分词表主动,置于句首,首字母大写。故填Originating。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。此处表示“拥有”的意思,with表示“具有,带有”,符合句意,构成介宾结构,表示豫剧具有最多的演员和演出场次的特点,故填with。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:近年来,由于豫剧一直在全球舞台上给人留下深刻印象,它在西方赢得了“东方咏叹调”的称号。此处需要一个副词来修饰动词made,consistent的副词形式是consistently,故填consistently。

【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个文化沙龙为即将于2025年11月在巴黎举办的第九届中国传统戏曲节做了极好的热身。此处需要一个形容词来修饰名词salon,culture的形容词形式是cultural,故填cultural。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。设空处为非谓语动词,the 9th Traditional Chinese Opera Festival与hold之间是逻辑上的被动关系,结合时间状语“in November, 2025”可知表示将来的动作,要用动词不定式的被动形式作后置定语,故填to be held。
【44题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:豫剧表演结束后,与会者移步到书法体验区,在那里他们观看了著名书法家李健展示他独特的“瘦金体”书法风格,这是一种独特的书法风格。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是the calligraphy experience area,在从句中作地点状语,所以要用关系副词where 引导定语从句,故填where。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。空后style“风格”为可数名词,这里表示“一种独特的书法风格”,用不定冠词,空后unique是以辅音音素开头的单词,要用不定冠词a,故填a。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Finding the Perfect Sandy
“Ashley, our Sandy is singing again!”
The stage manager called to me, and I walked on stage to clip the leash (扣上皮带) onto Baily, the dog playing the role of Sandy, who was supposed to be merely a supporting role in the school musical. Our director was very close to just getting a toy animal or an actor in a dog suit. Baily was our third Sandy, but I knew he would not be the last.
“Ashley, can you please find another dog for us by Monday?” asked Mr. Loomis, our director and drama teacher.
“OK!” I knew that this dog had to be perfect.
“I think I can help you get a dog,” offered Jose, our assistant director. “In fairness, Mr. Loomis has to keep our program going. There are always threats to cut it, so he doesn’t want to see anything too odd onstage.” José added.
That was why I chose to stay backstage, despite my love for singing and dancing. My giant birthmark (胎记) that covered half of my face would be too much of a distraction. I had been in the group for one musical, and loved it, but afterward I overheard a lady telling Mr. Loomis how kind it had been for him to cast (选角) me. After that, I quit and worked behind the scenes.
“Let’s avoid odd,” I agreed.
Jose nodded. “I texted my neighbor Mrs. Kart who runs a shelter, immediately Baily started howling. She replied me right back saying she knew the perfect dog.”
We walked to Mrs. Kart’s shelter. “I have got the dog for you!” she announced. “His name is Farley. He works part-time at the airport comforting passengers who are nervous about flying.” Then she burst back through the door with a cute bundle of energy. Farley had soulful eyes and black and white spots, but the main thing about him was that he was missing a leg.
“He’s a three-legged dog!” I exclaimed, stating the obvious. Both Jose and I stood back for a moment as we considered this dog.
I sighed. “Are there any other dogs at the shelter?”
Para 1: Unfortunately, my weekend search did not produce any other possibilities.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2: “I thought that performers had to be perfect.” I said to Mr. Loomis after the performance.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One Possible Version:
Unfortunately, my weekend search did not produce any other possibilities. Despite visiting numerous shelters, each attempt left me discouraged than the last. With the performance day approaching, I felt like an ant on a hot pan as my pressure mounted and panic set in heavily. But when I stood in front of Farley, watching him playfully chase his tail and his soulful eyes glittering, I finally determined to give the three-legged creature a try. On the day of performance, to my great amazement, Farley didn’t chew or bark or do anything inappropriate, but acted like a star, following the directions given and performed perfectly for his tender nature. Thunderous applause erupting from the audience confirmed that Farley’s was the perfect Sandy despite his imperfection.
“I thought that performers had to be perfect.” I said to Mr. Loomis after the performance. Startled by my words, Mr. Loomis gazed at me cautiously, shaking his head, “Actually, I was very confused and disappointed when you quit casting. You were cast for your good vocal range and passion for the stage.” With choked emotions, I explained, “I didn’t want to create visual tension due to my birthmark. I thought you cast me out of pity but what you desired definitely was perfection.” Patting me on the shoulder, Mr. Loomis told me that theater was for everyone, and perfection isn’t about being flawless, yet it was about bringing a genuine spirit and connection to the performance. With these words striking into my heart, I decided to follow my passion and be the perfect Sandy myself.
【解析】
【导语】文章以动物为线索展开,讲述了作者Ashley作为学校音乐剧后台工作人员,负责为音乐剧《Finding the Perfect Sandy》寻找一只扮演Sandy角色的完美狗狗的经历。起初,由于导演对狗狗的要求很高,且剧中Sandy只是配角,所以选择狗狗的过程并不顺利。作者因自己脸上的巨大胎记而选择在幕后工作,以避免成为舞台上的干扰。当助理导演Jose提出帮助寻找狗狗时,他们前往了一个动物收容所,并最终被一只名叫Farley的三条腿的狗狗所吸引。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“不幸的是,我周末的搜寻并没有发现其他可能的选择。”可知,第一段可描写作者最终选择让Farley来表演以及表演顺利完成的过程。
②由第二段首句内容““我以为表演者必须完美无缺。””可知,第二段可描写表演结束后,作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:感到沮丧——决定让Farley出演——演出顺利完成——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
决定做某事:determine to do/decide to do sth
解释:explain/account for
想要做某事:want to do sth/would like to do sth
情绪类
惊讶:amazement/astonishment
困惑的:confused/puzzled
