One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 4. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 5. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 6. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 7. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了篮球运动员查理·乌尼维加的成长经历，他克服脱发症和欺凌，通过篮球获得成功，并致力于帮助他人和反对欺凌。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段中“One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. (一只手把球举得很高，有那么一会儿，他似乎悬在空中。然后他把球击过篮筐。扣篮！他的职业生涯可能看起来像一个灌篮，成为康涅狄格大学的全国冠军，并在多伦多猛龙队创造了初学者的记录。)”可知，提到他的扣篮是为了突出他的技能和成就。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. (他的成功不仅仅是因为他打篮球的能力，他今天的成就在很大程度上要归功于一种叫做斑秃的皮肤病，这种疾病不是传染性的，而是由免疫系统的错误引起的，这种错误会触发对抗细菌的细胞攻击身体自身的生发细胞。查理在10岁时受到影响，12岁时脱发。这使他成为欺凌的目标，导致他退缩并躲在帽子和兜帽下。)”可知，被嘲笑使他避免与同龄人接触。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，他有坚强的意志。由文章第四段中“All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying.(一路走来，查理一直致力于帮助他人。从他作为新球员的第一年开始，他就担任了国家斑秃基金会的发言人，并建立了查理维拉纽瓦基金会，该组织旨在支持有脱发儿童的家庭，并阻止各种形式的欺凌。)”可知，查理一直致力于帮助他人，这表明他是乐于助人的。因此，坚强意志和乐于助人最能描述查理。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，由文章第三段“With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. (在母亲的支持下，查理在篮球中找到了慰藉。他将挫折和压力转化为动力，不断提高自己的技能，直到他的天赋盖过了他的身体状况。欺凌停止了，他的篮球生涯开始了。)”可知，查理虽然遭受了脱发症的困扰，但他凭借坚强的意志和乐于助人的品质，不仅在篮球上取得了成功，还积极帮助他人。这表明逆境使人更强大。故选C。 C A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 8. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B. To show off his Chinese language skills. C. To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 10. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能语言工具的便利性与语言学习的文化深度之间的差异，作者引导我们对人工智能语言工具进行批判性思考然后得出结论：人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. ‘My favorite food is sushi,’ I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi.(几天前，我看了一段我自己说一口流利汉语的视频。我断断续续地学习这门语言才几年，还远谈不上流利。但我就这样，每个字的发音就像母语人士一样。‘我最喜欢的食物是寿司，’我说——我最喜欢吃寿司。)”以及下文，尤其是最后一段中“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning.(从本质上讲，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习所带来的深度和文化洞察力。)”可知，文章第一段以作者自己的体验引出AI语言工具，然后鼓励对AI语言工具进行批判性思考。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience.(然而，语言翻译是一门艺术，而不是一门科学。为了换取这种便利，将失去一些巨大的东西。)”以及“Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,(在广泛不同的语言（如中文和英文）之间建立一个阶梯，有时就像医生在病人心中架起一座桥梁一样困难，)”可知，语言翻译并不是技术能解决的问题，它远远超出了技术范畴。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of Al, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. (语言教授黛博拉·科恩强调，语言学习实际上是关于理解和联系不同的文化；一些教育工作者主张强调语言学习的跨文化方面，而不是放弃语言课程而选择人工智能。)”可知，学习语言的主要好处是有效的跨文化互动。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry(织锦)that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve.(本质上，虽然人工智能语言工具提供了便利，但它们缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。学习一门语言的挑战和美妙之处在于理解通过单词编织的文化挂毯，这是人工智能尚未实现的。)”可知，作者在最后一段表明人工智能在帮助语言理解方面远非完美，因为人工智能语言工具缺乏人类语言学习的深度和文化洞察力。故选C项。 D Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster- worthy budget that emphasizes the country’s push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China’s gaming industry. It is considered China’s first “AAA” title, a big- budget, global game with sophisticated gameplay and advanced visuals. Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5million people playing it on Steam, making it the No.1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wuhong is adapted from the16th- century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game’s main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar. China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console (主机游戏) or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays. But the game’s launch lit up national pride. One Chinese media outlet noted that the game’s default language is Chinese and added, “It feels so good.” The global interest in the game also highlighted China’s push to exercise its “soft power.” The novel that it is based on is considered one of China’s four great classics. The game also depicts important cultural landmarks throughout China. “The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article. 12. What do we know about Black Myth: Wukong? A. It focuses on basic gameplay elements. B. It shifts China’s gaming towards consoles. C. It features a world born of pure imagination. D. It acts as a landmark for adapting Chinese myth. 13. What challenge has China’s gaming industry faced recently? A. Insufficient budget for game development. B. Increasing popularity of smartphone games. C. China’s lack of emphasis on cultural soft power. D. Government measures to restrict youth gaming time. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The game targets Western audience with its cultural themes. B. The game is a big step in showing Chinese culture worldwide. C. The game’s success is a way to boost China’s economic growth. D. The game strengthens national pride by highlighting Chinese culture. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador B. The Impact of Gaming Industry on China’s Youth C. The Impact of Gaming Industry on Chinese Culture D. Black Myth: Wukong’s Influence on Game Mechanics 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了主机游戏《黑神话：悟空》以及该游戏和中国文化之间的关系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console（主机游戏）or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers.(中国的电子游戏行业主要是在智能手机上玩的游戏，而不是在全球发行的大预算游戏机或PC游戏。然而，《黑神话：悟空》标志着一个转变，因为它最初是在索尼的PlayStation 5和个人电脑上发布的。)”可知，《黑神话:悟空》改变了中国的游戏平台。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays.(近年来，中国的这个行业面临着巨大的挑战。政府已经实施了严格的规定来控制游戏，因为担心孩子们可能会上瘾并产生负面影响。例如，北京出台了规定，禁止年轻人在上学期间玩网络游戏，并对周末和节假日的游戏时间进行了严格限制。)”可知，中国游戏产业最近面临的挑战是政府限制青少年玩游戏的时间。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article.(“《黑神话:悟空》的成功不仅是游戏行业的胜利，也是中国文化海外扩张的一个重要里程碑，”国有报纸《羊城晚报》在一篇文章中写道。)”可知，这个游戏是向世界展示中国文化的一大步。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了主机游戏《黑神话：悟空》以及该游戏和中国文化之间的关系，所以用A项“Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador(文化大使——《黑神话：悟空》)。”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选A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。 It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____16____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed. ____17____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____18____ In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____19____ It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____20____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions. A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking? B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets. C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution. D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain. E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition. F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries. G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是否真的是因为糟糕的决策能力，并且分析了贫困给人们带来的不好的影响。 【16题详解】 根据空前内容“It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills.(人们普遍认为，人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力)”可知，上文提到的是人们陷入糟糕的财务状况是因为糟糕的决策能力。而下文“In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed.(事实上，过去十年的几项研究表明，因果关系可能比人们普遍认为的要复杂得多)”则认为答案不是那么简单。选项A“But is poverty really caused by poor thinking?(但是，贫穷真的是由糟糕的思维造成的吗？)”对上文观点提出质疑，同时引出下文，也就是本文的主题——人们陷入糟糕的财务状况的原因很复杂。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles.(科学家首先向研究参与者提出了一系列问题，让他们思考自己的个人收入和储蓄。然后他们被要求解决一些谜题)”可知，科学家们进行了一个实验，想弄清楚个人经济状况和解决谜题之间是否有联系。选项G“One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation.(2013年发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明，人们解决问题的能力可能会受到当前经济状况的显著影响)”与下文内容一致，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文内容“Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared.(那些财务状况较好的人比那些财务困难的人在解决谜题方面表现得更好。然而，当在不让参与者考虑自己财务状况的情况下重复测试时，富人和穷人之间的表现差异就消失了)”可知，根据研究结果，我们可以推断人们解决问题的能力会受到自己经济状况的影响。选项F“This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries.(这表明，担心自己糟糕的财务状况会使穷人的表现比那些没有财务问题的人更差)”是上文研究的总结，符合上文内容。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文内容“In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health.(在2018年德克萨斯大学进行的另一项研究中，对300多名年龄在20岁至89岁之间的人的大脑进行了扫描和分析，以寻找良好认知功能的迹象。研究发现，在35岁至64岁的人群中，经济状况较好的人大脑更健康，包括记忆力更好、老年痴呆症风险更低等特征。然而，在年轻人(年龄在20到34岁之间)中，财富和大脑健康之间似乎没有任何联系)”可知，研究人员进行了研究，以探究贫困和大脑健康之间的联系。选项D“Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain.(综上所述，这些结果表明长期贫困只会逐渐导致大脑的磨损)”是上文研究结果的总结，该研究表明，长期贫困会对大脑无益。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据段首句“It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects.(难猜测为什么贫穷会产生这些影响)”可知，本段分析了贫困为什么会有这些不好的影响。选项C“They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution.(他们更容易受到污染等负面环境因素的影响)”指的正是贫困给人们带来的不好的影响，与空前“People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food.(生活条件较差的人往往难以负担得起健康食品)”以及空后“And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking.(总是担心是否有足够的钱支付房租或把食物放在桌子上，这对大脑提出了不断的要求，从而减少了批判性思维的处理能力)”内容上保持一致。故选C。 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。 This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia for a holiday.

They spend countless hours on social media, gaming, or watching videos, and even rely on the internet to do daily homework, posing potential risks to their health and study. This worrying trend needs our attention. In my view, while the internet is a valuable resource for learning and entertainment, it should be used wisely. Overuse can lead to isolation and academic decline due to addiction and distractions. To tackle this issue, I suggest setting a time limit on internet usage and engaging in more face-to-face interactions. By doing so, we can enjoy the benefits of the internet without letting it control our lives. Let’s be smart users of the internet. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于投稿征文。要求考生就部分中学生过度使用网络的现象写一篇短文，向学校英文报投稿，介绍该现象，并表达自己的看法和建议。 【详解】1. 词汇积累： 依赖、依靠：rely on→depend on 趋势：trend→tendency 观点：view→opinion 因为：due to→because of 解决：tackle→deal with 优势、好处：benefit→advantage 2. 句式拓展： 同义句转换： 原句：They spend countless hours on social media, gaming, or watching videos, and even rely on the internet to do daily homework, posing potential risks to their health and study. 拓展句：They spend countless hours on social media, gaming, or watching videos, and even rely on the internet to do daily homework, which poses potential risks to their health and study. 【点睛】【高分句型1】In my view, while the internet is a valuable resource for learning and entertainment, it should be used wisely.（运用了以连词while引导的让步状语从句。） 【高分句型2】To tackle this issue, I suggest setting a time limit on internet usage and engaging in more face-to-face interactions.（运用了动词不定式作目的状语，以及动名词作宾语。） 第二节（满分25分） 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。 Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Two more words to go. O-u-i-c-k-l-y, H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. “I’ll correct these while you’re at the break,” Ms Smith said. After the break, Karie hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat, tapping her pencil. Ms Smith walked to the front of the roomm and cleared her throat. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” she announced. The whole class erupted! Ms. Smith presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled broadly as she read the note on the dictionary： To Kaire, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Everything OK?” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. “Everything’s PERFECT!” Karie shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he gets home.” Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the mid air. The last word was wrongly spelt as H-O-N-E-S-L-Y with a “t” missing. She squeezed the test paper into her backpack. “Karie, what’s the matter?” asked Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Karie said. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea?” Karie swallowed. “How do you know? A “?” is exactly what I needed.” Karie dragged herself to her bed after some tea. How could she tell the whole class she didn’t deserve the prize? 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Karie opened her backpack and pulled out the test paper. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ms Smiths was unlocking the classroom door when Karie got to school the next morning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Karie opened her backpack and pulled out the test paper. “If I put the missing “t” back in, no one would ever know,” Karie thought to herself. She was about to pick up her pencil when Dad came in. “Where’s your spelling test paper, sweetheart?” Dad asked, gazing at her eagerly. Karie gulped before trying to answer. “I...,” she handed the test paper unwillingly to her dad. When Dad was admiring the perfect 100 on the paper, he spotted “honesly”. Dad frowned, “Probably you don’t deserve the prize.” “Honesty is not only about telling the truth, it is also about living truthfully,” Dad continued. “This means being true to our values and principles, even when no one is watching,” Karie soon understood what she should do. Ms. Smith was unlocking the classroom door when Karie got to school the next morning. “You’re an early bird,” Ms Smith smiled at her. Hands slightly trembling, Karie gave Ms. Smith her test paper as well as the dictionary. Karie confessed her spelling mistake in the test, a pink flush spreading over her cheeks. “I see.” Ms Smith pushed open the door. “Come in and sit down, Karie.” For a moment, Ms. Smith stood quietly, reading the note on the dictionary. Then she picked up a pen, crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” before handing the prize back to Karie. Karie’s jaw dropped “I get to keep this? Honestly?” “For honesly, no.” Ms Smith smiled. “But for honesty, yes.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一个名叫Karie的女孩在班级单词听写大赛中获得了满分，因此Ms. Smith奖励了她一本词典，欢欣之后Karie却发现自己实际上将单词honestly误写成了honesly，这就意味着她并不是满分，因此也就不应该得到词典，Karie最初想偷偷添上漏写的字母“t”，但是爸爸的一席话让Karie明白了honesty的真正含义，并在第二天主动找Ms. Smith承认错误并因此得到Ms. Smith表扬的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Karie打开书包，拿出试卷。”可知，第一段可描写Karie拿出试卷后最初的想法以及当爸爸要检查试卷时因为担心爸爸发现真相时的忐忑以及爸爸发现错误后语重心长的教育以及听了爸爸的话以后Karie明白了自己应该怎么做的内容。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，当Karie来到学校时，Ms. Smith正在打开教室的门。”可知，第二段可描写见到Karie后Ms. Smith的反应以及Karie主动承认错误并因自己的诚实依旧得到了词典的内容。 2.续写线索： Karie想偷偷改正错误——爸爸要求看试卷——Karie的忐忑与不情愿——爸爸发现错误——爸爸的教育——Karie明白了自己该怎么做——到校告诉老师真相——老师仔细核实试卷——表扬Karie的诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find/recognise ②划掉：cross out /delete ③承认：confess/admit 情绪类 ①热切地：eagerly / enthusiastically/with eagerness ②不情愿地：unwillingly/reluctantly 【点睛】【高分句型1】Dad asked, gazing at her eagerly. (运用了现在分词短语gazing at作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】Hands slightly trembling, Karie gave Ms. Smith her test paper as well as the dictionary.

B Crowded by defenders, Charlie Villanueva leaps toward the basket. One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C A few days ago, I watched a video of myself talking in perfect Chinese. I’ve been studying the language on and off for only a few years, and I’m far from fluent. But there I was, pronouncing each character just as a native speaker would. “My favorite food is sushi,” I said — wo zui xihuan de shiwu shi shousi. I’d created the video using software from a Los Angeles-based artificial-intelligence start-up called HeyGen. The technology, which only needs a single selfie and a script to generate deepfake videos of real people “saying” almost anything, is a testament (证明) to the advancements in AI language tools. This got me thinking about the declining interest in language learning with fewer students enrolling in foreign language courses and the decrease of English proficiency among young people in some places. AI translation, integrated into social media and messaging platforms, seems to be everywhere. Even language-learning apps are using AI-generated content in their marketing. However, language translation is an art rather than a science. Something enormous will be lost in exchange for that convenience. As Anne, a Chinese translator said, “Building a ladder between widely different languages, such as Chinese and English, is sometimes as difficult as a doctor building a bridge in a patient’s heart,” Language learning fosters cultural competency, a skill that AI cannot simply copy. Learning a different way to speak, read, and write helps people discover new ways to see the world. No machine can replace such a profound human experience. Deborah Cohn, a language professor, emphasizes that language learning is actually about understanding and connecting with different cultures; Instead of abandoning language courses in favor of AI, some educators advocate for emphasizing the intercultural aspects of language learning. Paula Krebs of the MLA points out that even with a “universal translator”, sometimes, the greater meaning of people’s utterance (言辞) remains a mystery. In essence, while AI language tools offer convenience, they lack the depth and cultural insight that comes from human language learning. The challenge and beauty of learning a language are in understanding the cultural tapestry (织锦) that weaves through words, something AI has yet to achieve. 8. Why does the author give the example in paragraph 1? A. To promote the language software. B To show off his Chinese language skills. C To prove learning a language is a wasted effort. D. To encourage critical thinking about AI language tools. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. AI translation deserves more attention. B. Language apps play a key role in marketing. C. Language translation is far beyond technology. D. Learning a different language is an uphill battle. 10. What is the key benefit of learning a language according to the passage? A. Better digital literacy. B. Improved translation skills. C. Deeper cultural confidence. D. Effective intercultural interaction. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. AI language tools offer convenience. B. AI facilitates language learning in terms of culture. C. AI is far from perfect in helping language understanding. D. AI has achieved success in the development of language learning tools. D Black Myth: Wukong is one of the most highly anticipated Chinese video games ever, a premium title with a blockbuster- worthy budget that emphasizes the country’s push to become a global cultural power. The game’s release is a landmark moment for China’s gaming industry. It is considered China’s first “AAA” title, a big- budget, global game with sophisticated gameplay and advanced visuals. Within hours of its release, there were more than 1.5million people playing it on Steam, making it the No.1 game on the online platform. Black Myth: Wuhong is adapted from the16th- century Chinese classic novel Journey to the West. The game’s main character is inspired by Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who battles opponents with a magic iron bar. China’s video game industry is dominated by titles played on smartphones, not big- budget console (主机游戏) or PC games that are released globally. However, Black Myth: Wukong marks a shift as it is being initially released on Sony’s PlayStation 5 and personal computers. In recent years, the industry in China has faced significant challenges. The government has implemented strict regulations to control gaming due to concerns that children could become addicted and negatively influenced. For example, Beijing has introduced rules that prohibit young people from playing games online on school days and impose strict time limits on gaming during weekends and holidays. But the game’s launch lit up national pride. One Chinese media outlet noted that the game’s default language is Chinese and added, “It feels so good.” The global interest in the game also highlighted China’s push to exercise its “soft power.” The novel that it is based on is considered one of China’s four great classics. The game also depicts important cultural landmarks throughout China. “The success of Black Myth: Wukong is not only a victory for the gaming industry, but also an important milestone in the overseas expansion of Chinese culture,” Yangcheng Evening News, a state- owned newspaper, wrote in an article. 12. What do we know about Black Myth: Wukong? A. It focuses on basic gameplay elements. B. It shifts China’s gaming towards consoles. C. It features a world born of pure imagination. D. It acts as a landmark for adapting Chinese myth. 13. What challenge has China’s gaming industry faced recently? A. Insufficient budget for game development. B. Increasing popularity of smartphone games. C. China’s lack of emphasis on cultural soft power. D. Government measures to restrict youth gaming time. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The game targets Western audience with its cultural themes. B The game is a big step in showing Chinese culture worldwide. C. The game’s success is a way to boost China’s economic growth. D. The game strengthens national pride by highlighting Chinese culture. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. Black Myth: Wukong as a Cultural Ambassador B. The Impact of Gaming Industry on China’s Youth C. The Impact of Gaming Industry on Chinese Culture D. Black Myth: Wukong’s Influence on Game Mechanics 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。 It’s commonly thought that people get into bad financial situations because of poor decision-making skills. ____16____ In fact, several studies over the last decade have demonstrated that the cause and effect may be more complex than is widely believed. ____17____Scientists first asked the study participants a series of questions that made them think about their personal income and savings. They were then asked to solve a number of puzzles. Those in better financial situations performed better at solving the puzzles than those in financial trouble. However, when the test was repeated without making the participants think about their own finances, the differences in performance between the rich and poor disappeared. ____18____ In a separate study conducted in 2018 at the University of Texas, the brains of more than 300 people aged between 20 and 89 were scanned and analyzed for signs of good cognitive function. Among those aged between 35 and 64, it was found that those with better financial situations had healthier brains, including characteristics linked to having a better memory and a lower risk of dementia when elderly. However, in younger adults (those aged 20 to 34), there did not seem to be any connection between wealth and brain health. ____19____ It’s not difficult to guess why poverty might have these effects. People who live in poorer conditions often have difficulty affording healthy food. ____20____ And always worrying about having enough money to pay rent or put food on the table puts constant demands on the brain, leaving less processing power available for critical thinking. Indeed, it could be said that poverty is a vicious cycle, keeping people trapped by taking away their best means of escape-their ability to make smart decisions. A. But is poverty really caused by poor thinking? B. Unwise decisions people make, to a greater degree, contribute to tight budgets. C. They are more affected by negative environmental elements such as pollution. D. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term poverty only gradually causes wear and tear on the brain. E. Therefore, the scientists concluded that poor thinking plays a major part in one’s future financial condition. F. This suggested that the distraction of worrying about their bad finances made the poor people perform worse than those with no financial worries. G. One study in the journal Science in 2013 showed that people’s abilities to solve problems can be significantly affected by their current financial situation. 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。 This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia for a holiday.

If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Two more words to go. O-u-i-c-k-l-y, H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper. “I’ll correct these while you’re at the break,” Ms Smith said. After the break, Karie hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat, tapping her pencil. Ms Smith walked to the front of the roomm and cleared her throat. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” she announced. The whole class erupted! Ms. Smith presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled broadly as she read the note on the dictionary： To Kaire, for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling. “Everything OK?” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. “Everything’s PERFECT!” Karie shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he gets home.” Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the mid air. The last word was wrongly spelt as H-O-N-E-S-L-Y with a “t” missing. She squeezed the test paper into her backpack. “Karie, what’s the matter?” asked Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Karie said. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea?” Karie swallowed. “How do you know? A “?” is exactly what I needed.” Karie dragged herself to her bed after some tea. How could she tell the whole class she didn’t deserve the prize? 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Karie opened her backpack and pulled out the test paper. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ms Smiths was unlocking the classroom door when Karie got to school the next morning. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5CBCAA 6-10BCBCA 11-15CABBA 16-20CABCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
