Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November. Vatnajökull, Iceland Iceland’s name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub- zero temperatures arrive more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves — more accurately, glacier caves — as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be explored. Lanzarote Canary Islands Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace- seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big- name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between two beaches. Jackson Hole, Wyoming During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice- skating. If you’re looking for some fast- paced family fun, try the Alpine Slide, where you can slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled (雪车). No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early. Vancouver Island, Canada Part of British Columbia, Vancouver Island was originally the land of the Kwakwaka’ wakw, Nuu- chah- nulth and Coast Salish peoples. Today, the island is valuing the original cultures more and more. Planning means you can take your time seeking out activities that celebrate native people’s culture. Remember that you must order the ferries (渡船)from the mainland ahead of time. 1. Where would tourists preferring quiet destinations like to go? A. Vatnajökull. B. Lanzarote. C. Jackson Hole. D. Vancouver Island. 2. What do the last two destinations have in common? A. They need reservations. B. They have colourful cultures. C. They are famous for snow sports. D. They are suitable for all the family. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A coursebook. B. A survey report. C. A guidebook. D. A geographical paper. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在11月这个特定时间段内，几个值得推荐的旅游目的地，包括各自的特点和吸引游客的亮点。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Lanzarote, Canary Islands部分中的“Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside, there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace- seekers.(11月的兰萨罗特岛是一个绝佳的度假胜地。除了第一周外，这个月几乎没有学校假期，这对于寻求宁静的人来说是一个额外的优势。)”可知，Lanzarote是一个适合喜欢安静的人的旅游目的地。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Jackson Hole, Wyoming部分中的“No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early.(无论你计划何时出行，都应该尽早预订。)”以及“Vancouver Island, Canada”部分中的“Remember that you must order the ferries(渡船)from the mainland ahead of time.(记住，你必须提前从大陆预订渡船。)”可知，Jackson Hole和Vancouver Island的共同点是都需要提前预订。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“November is often overlooked as December approaches, but it’s an ideal time to arrange an escape from the dull skies of northern Europe. Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November.(随着12月的临近，11月往往被忽视，但它是逃离北欧单调天空的理想时机。以下是我们精选的11月最佳度假目的地。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了四个在11月适合旅游的目的地，对每个地方的特色进行了描述，如冰岛的冰川洞、加那利群岛的兰萨罗特岛、美国怀俄明州的杰克逊霍尔和加拿大的温哥华岛。这种内容明显是为了给读者提供旅游建议和指南，所以文章可能出自一本导游手册。故选C。 B Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly good at fooling people. In March, a series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being arrested by police caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. As some experts have warned, the main idea is to spot anything that would look strange in a photo. AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. AI-generated images also usually contain details that go against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance. Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry—or they don’t have faces at all! The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” said Shane Kittelson, a US researcher. 4. How could people recognize that a photo is made by AI, according to the experts? A. By analyzing the source of the photo. B. By learning your friends’ tips from time to time. C. By finding out the details that look strange in the photo. D. By going to the scene for themselves. 5. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text? A. It hasn’t enough data about human hands. B. It is unable to recognize human hands. C. It doesn’t fully understand human hands. D. The data it uses to learn contain errors. 6. What is AI terrible at handling according to the article? A. Facial expressions. B. Texts and symbols. C. Items of clothing. D. Background details. 7. What is Jamie Cohen’s attitude towards AI-generated art at present? A. worried B. defensive C. supportive D. indifferent 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了人工智能的负面影响，会生成与现实不符的虚假图像，传播错误信息。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As some experts have warned, the main idea is to spot anything that would look strange in a photo.(正如一些专家警告的那样，主要目的是发现照片中任何看起来奇怪的东西)”可知，通过找出照片中看起来奇怪的细节能识别出一张照片是由人工智能制作的。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, according to Popular Science. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI.(据《大众科学》报道，这是因为人工智能不确定“手”到底是什么。人工智能用来学习的数据经常会以各种手势显示手和手指，这可能会让人工智能感到非常困惑。)”可知，人工智能不能完全理解人类的手。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background.( AI在处理背景方面也很糟糕)”可知，AI在处理背景细节方面也很糟糕。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy skills.( 美国数字文化和人工智能专家Jamie Cohen在接受《纽约邮报》采访时表示：“我认为错误信息将达到历史新高。” Cohen认为，制作一件人工智能艺术品就是“创造现实”，并补充说，要判断作品是否真实，需要很高的媒体素养。)”可知，Jamie Cohen目前对AI生成艺术的态度是担忧的。故选A项。 C Last winter I enjoyed a brief adventure in Guatemala. Over a period of 12 days, I explored through the jungle to watch the sunrise and danced in the street during the holiday parade. But looking back on that trip, what I remember most vividly is a New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless hotel. Rather than a countdown to midnight, I counted down the hours until my departure. Nothing special happened during that night. Rather, the big role this hotel plays in my memories can be explained by a psychological principle called the recency effect. “The recency effect helps to account for our tendency to remember the ending part of a sequence of events with far more clarity than the rest, ” said Dr. Mary Poffenroth, a biopsychologist. She says it arises from our short-term memory’s inability to hold on to more than a small amount of information at once. So while there is no magic formula to create lovely travel memories, employing the recency effect can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. Dr. Stephanie, a Neuroscientist, says that while you can strategically set off the recency effect at a trip’s end, you may have multiple opportunities to create lasting memories all along the way by breaking it up into smaller chunks. Keep in mind that the recency effect can also backfire. “Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lost luggage or feeling unwell might be enough to overshadow the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead of joyful, ” Stephanie said. To avoid disproportionately (不成比例地)spotlighting the final days, Poffenroth has created a trick: She amplifies (增强) earlier days in a trip to keep her memories well-rounded. “I collect little bits that will remind me of that day: a subway ticket, a seashell, a cardboard drink with a pub’ s logo on it. ” Then, as she is packing on the last day, “I go through all my little found treasures and spend a few moments recalling each one, ” she said. “This gives me a sense of closure for that chapter of travel and makes the experience memorable. ” 8. How did the author feel about the New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City? A. It was boring. B. It was eventful. C It was relaxing. D. It was cheerful. 9. What do we know about the recency effect from paragraph 2? A. It is based on a psychological principle. B. It is widely used to create lovely memories. C. It highlights the final part of a series of events. D. It makes up for the inability of short-term memory. 10. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 5 ? A. Be avoided to some extent. B. Be applied extensively. C. Produce undesirable consequences. D. Pose unexpected challenges. 11. According to Poffenroth, which of the following may help travelers have good memories? A Share travel experiences. B. Recall the final days of a journey. C. Purchase as many souvenirs as possible. D. Purposely gather reminders of a journey. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学中的近因效应原理，即人们倾向于更清晰地记住事件序列的结尾部分。作者通过自己的旅行经历，说明了运用近因效应可以让旅行变得更加难忘。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But looking back on that trip, what I remember most vividly is a New Year's Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless hotel. Rather than a countdown to midnight, I counted down the hours until my departure.( 但回想起那次旅行，我印象最深刻的是在危地马拉城的一个新年前夜，在一家毫无生气的酒店里。我没有倒数午夜，而是倒数出发前的几个小时。)” 可知，作者对危地马拉城的那个新年夜感到无聊，因为他在倒数离开的时间而不是新年的到来。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The recency effect helps to account for our tendency to remember the ending part of a sequence of events with far more clarity than the rest,(近因效应有助于解释为什么我们倾向于比其他部分更清楚地记住一系列事件的结束部分，)”，这句话说明近因效应强调了事件序列结尾部分的记忆清晰度高于其他部分。C选项“It highlights the final part of a series of events.(它突出了一系列事件的最后一部分。)”符合题意。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第五段中划线词后面的内容“Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lost luggage or feeling unwell might be enough to overshadow the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead of joyful(以紧张的航班延误、行李丢失或感觉不适来结束一次美妙的旅行，可能足以给整个经历蒙上阴影，导致你对旅行的记忆是糟糕的，而不是快乐的。)”可知，如果旅行以令人紧张的航班延误、行李丢失或身体不适等不愉快的事情结束，可能会使整个旅行体验变得糟糕，从而记住的是糟糕的旅行而不是愉快的旅行。因此，此处强调首因效应有时候会产生不良的后果。故划线词“backfire”在这里的意思是“产生不良后果”，C选项“Produce undesirable consequences.(产生不良后果。)”与其为近义词。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Then, as she is packing on the last day, “I go through all my little found treasures and spend a few moments recalling each one, ” she said. “This gives me a sense of closure for that chapter of travel and makes the experience memorable. ”(然后，在最后一天收拾行李的时候，她说：“我会浏览我所有的小宝贝，花点时间回忆每一件。”“这给了我一种结束旅行的感觉，让我的经历变得难忘。”)”可知，Poffenroth认为故意收集旅行的纪念品，花时间浏览自己的旅游纪念品，能够让作者的经历变得难忘即可以帮助旅行者拥有良好的记忆。因此，选项D“Purposely gather reminders of a journey.(故意收集旅行的纪念品)”有助于游客们拥有美好的旅游记忆。故选D。 D According to new research, babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be important for language learning. In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas. They found that babies were able to very quickly learn new words that describe small quantities and combine these with familiar words to fully understand a phrase. Lead researcher, Dr. Barbara Pomiechowska, said: “Human creativity is limitless: it has taken us to the moon and allowed us to cure deadly diseases — but despite its importance, we don’t yet know when and how this impressive ability to combine ideas and invent new things appears. This research shows that we must go right back to the beginning of language learning to solve this puzzle. ” In the study, the researchers worked with 60 babies, all around the age of 12 months. They started by teaching the babies two novel words describing quantity: “mize”, to mean “one”, and “padu”, to mean “two”. Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example to identify “padu ducks” from some pictures. By teaching novel words to represent quantities, the researchers were able to test the babies’ ability to combine concepts in real time, rather than simply recall combinations of words that they already knew from previous experience. By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about. According to Dr. Barbara, this ability to combine different concepts is likely to help babies not only to understand the language input, but also to learn about different aspects of the physical and social world. 12. What puzzle did the researchers want to solve? A. The origin of creative thinking. B. The ways to cure deadly diseases. C. The limitations of creative thinking. D. The importance of language acquisition. 13. What were the babies asked to do in the study? A. Create novel words. B. Count numbers in order. C. Point out the number they knew. D. Match objects with what they heard. 14. What did the researchers use in the study? A. Previous data. B. Advanced technology. C. Professional concepts. D. Regular examinations. 15. What is this passage mainly about? A. Human creativity is limitless. B. Children’s learning ability varies. C. Children are good at creating words. D. Human creative thinking starts very early. 【答案】12 A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家对人类创造性思维能力的研究，研究发现人类从摇篮中就有了创造性思维而且这种思维能力对人类的语言学习非常重要。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas.(在这项研究中，研究人员着手探索人类创造力和高效思维的起源，试图找出人们是如何产生全新的思想和想法的。)”以及第三段中“we don’t yet know when and how this impressive ability to combine ideas and invent new things appears. This research shows that we must go right back to the beginning of language learning to solve this puzzle.(我们还不知道这种令人印象深刻的结合想法和创造新事物的能力是何时以及如何出现的。这项研究表明，要解决这个难题，我们必须回到语言学习之初。)”可知，研究人员希望解开的谜题是创造性思维的起源。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example to identify ‘pad u ducks’ from some pictures.(然后要求婴儿将这些新的数字单词与不同的物体名称结合起来，例如从一些图片中识别“pad u ducks”。)” 可知，婴儿在实验中被要求把听到的词和物体结合起来。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look(通过使用眼球追踪技术来监控婴儿的视线)” 可知，在研究过程中研究人员借助了眼球追踪技术。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。在文章首段“According to new research, babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be important for language learning.(根据一项新的研究，婴儿在开始说话之前不仅能够很好地进行创造性思维，而且这种思维可能对语言学习很重要。)”，作者指出研究发现人类很早就有创造性思维能力，然后在下文详细介绍了研究过程。由此推断D选项“人类的创造性思维很早就开始了。”可以概括文章主要内容。故选D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。 A large number of people start experiencing strong loneliness in the few month following their graduation. Many people mistakenly think that loneliness can be ended by having more friends or by meeting new people. ____16____ So what causes loneliness and why do so many people experience it right after graduation? ____17____ Some of the main characteristics of a close relationship are common interests, openness and common life challenges. During college or high school years, most of the people in a group will have the same problem, so they can talk about their common problems, think together of solutions and even help each other go through them. ____18____ However, after graduation each person usually takes a different path and finds himself fighting his own unique battle. Problems become no longer common between the same group of people because each of them develops his own special ones. Friends can become less connected to each other when each one of them lives a different life. ____19____ In such a case two things can be done. You can either share your new problems with your old friends and make sure you listen to theirs or you can make more friends at your new job to share with them what’s going on in your new stage of life. ____20____ When you do so, stick to them, share your problems with them and you will never feel lonely. A. What happens to the same group after graduation? B. Loneliness can never appear in such an environment. C. This gradually reduces closeness and promotes loneliness. D.

Her handwritten promise carried the joy we had shared, and laughter filled the room. It felt like Breana and I had been best friends forever. Since the day we met on the first day of senior high school， we had been inseparable. She enjoyed outdoor sports, and I loved dancing. We did almost everything together. When the tryout notice for the cheerleading team came up, Breana encouraged me to give it a shot Initially, I resisted her suggestion, calling her crazy, but deep down, I trusted her and secretly wanted to give it a try. Breana saw my hidden desire and promised to support me fully. She attended all the practices and even spent two weeks coaching me in her backyard. Finally, with a perfect performance, I successfully made it onto the cheerleading team. Regrettably, Breana failed to make the team due to physical discomfort. However, things began to change. After-school training took up most of my time, and our usual al get-togethers were delayed or canceled. Slowly but surely, we began to grow apart. A heated argument finally erupted when I refused Breana’s invitation to go hiking. “I’m so tired, Breana. Please, let me have some alone time.” “You’re always busy. We haven’t spent much time together! It’s all because of your excessive training!” “Stop, Breana! You don’t understand me at all! I don’t need a friend like you!” With those mean words, I put an end to our “friends to the end” promise. Over the following days, despite a tight schedule, the argument lingered (萦绕) in my mind, distracting me from training. It was a morning when there was chaos on the playground. Someone cried out, “Breana is injured!” Shocked and worried, I rushed to where the sound came from, for once not caring about anything. 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。 As I arrived at the scene, I saw Breana sitting there in pain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At my words, she hugged me tightly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As I arrived at the scene, I saw Breana sitting there in pain. Her ankle was twisted at an odd angle, and tears streamed down her cheeks. The sight of my best friend in distress sent a wave of guilt crashing over me. All the arguments and misunderstandings faded into the background as I knelt beside her. “Breana, I’m so sorry. I should have been there for you,” I said, my voice trembling with emotion. I gently examined her ankle, wishing I could take her pain away. At my words, she hugged me tightly. “I knew you would come,” she whispered through her tears. In that moment, I realized how much I had taken our friendship for granted. We had both been so caught up in our own lives that we forgot the importance of supporting each other through thick and thin. “I’m here now, and I’ll always be here,” I reassured her, feeling a sense of warmth return to my heart. We would rebuild our friendship, one step at a time, starting with this moment. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者和朋友布里安娜的关系。当她们在高中第一天相遇时，便结下了深厚的友谊，一起度过了快乐的时光。然而，随着时间的推移，她们开始因为生活上的各种事情而疏远。在一次激烈的争吵后，作者拒绝了布里安娜的邀请，并说出了伤害她的话。然而，当布里安娜受伤时，作者意识到自己的错误，并决定重新建立她们的友谊。她们决定一步一步地重建友谊，从现在开始。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我到达现场时，我看到布里安娜痛苦地坐在那里。”可知，第一段可描写作者走向布里安娜并且表达歉意的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“听了我的话，她紧紧地拥抱了我。”可知，第二段可描写作者和布里安娜重获友谊以及作者的内心感受。 2.续写线索：布里安娜痛苦地坐在那里——作者看到伤情——作者表达歉意——布里安娜紧紧地拥抱作者——重新获得友谊——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①眼泪流下来：tears stream down /tears roll down ②.检查：examine /check ③.意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①.内疚：guilt/ compunction ②.痛苦：pain / suffering 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Here’s our pick of the best holiday destinations in November. Vatnajökull, Iceland Iceland’s name becomes increasingly accurate in November, as sub- zero temperatures arrive more frequently. This is the best time for tourists to enter into the heavenly world of ice caves — more accurately, glacier caves — as these changing holes need to be safely frozen before they can be explored. Lanzarote, Canary Islands Lanzarote provides an amazing break in November. The first week aside there are few school holidays this month — a bonus for peace- seekers. With gardens designed by the famous Lanzarote architect César Manrique, Meliá Salinas is a big- name resort (度假胜地) with local style, set between two beaches. Jackson Hole, Wyoming During the winter, Jackson Hole is a wonderland of snow skiing, snowmobiling and ice- skating. If you’re looking for some fast- paced family fun, try the Alpine Slide, where you can slide down 2,500 feet of Snow King Mountain in a bobsled (雪车). No matter when you’re planning your trip, you should book early. Vancouver Island, Canada Part of British Columbia, Vancouver Island was originally the land of the Kwakwaka’ wakw, Nuu- chah- nulth and Coast Salish peoples. Today, the island is valuing the original cultures more and more. Planning means you can take your time seeking out activities that celebrate native people’s culture. Remember that you must order the ferries (渡船)from the mainland ahead of time. 1. Where would tourists preferring quiet destinations like to go? A. Vatnajökull. B. Lanzarote. C. Jackson Hole. D. Vancouver Island. 2. What do the last two destinations have in common? A. They need reservations. B. They have colourful cultures. C. They are famous for snow sports. D. They are suitable for all the family. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A coursebook. B. A survey report. C. A guidebook. D. A geographical paper. B Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly good at fooling people. In March, a series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being arrested by police caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. As some experts have warned, the main idea is to spot anything that would look strange in a photo. AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. AI-generated images also usually contain details that go against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance. Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry—or they don’t have faces at all! The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” said Shane Kittelson, a US researcher. 4. How could people recognize that a photo is made by AI, according to the experts? A. By analyzing the source of the photo. B. By learning your friends’ tips from time to time. C. By finding out the details that look strange in the photo. D. By going to the scene for themselves. 5. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text? A. It hasn’t enough data about human hands. B. It is unable to recognize human hands. C. It doesn’t fully understand human hands. D. The data it uses to learn contain errors. 6. What is AI terrible at handling according to the article? A. Facial expressions. B. Texts and symbols. C. Items of clothing. D. Background details. 7. What is Jamie Cohen’s attitude towards AI-generated art at present? A. worried B. defensive C. supportive D. indifferent C Last winter I enjoyed a brief adventure in Guatemala. Over a period of 12 days, I explored through the jungle to watch the sunrise and danced in the street during the holiday parade. But looking back on that trip, what I remember most vividly is a New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless hotel. Rather than a countdown to midnight, I counted down the hours until my departure. Nothing special happened during that night. Rather, the big role this hotel plays in my memories can be explained by a psychological principle called the recency effect. “The recency effect helps to account for our tendency to remember the ending part of a sequence of events with far more clarity than the rest, ” said Dr. Mary Poffenroth, a biopsychologist. She says it arises from our short-term memory’s inability to hold on to more than a small amount of information at once. So while there is no magic formula to create lovely travel memories, employing the recency effect can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. Dr. Stephanie, a Neuroscientist, says that while you can strategically set off the recency effect at a trip’s end, you may have multiple opportunities to create lasting memories all along the way by breaking it up into smaller chunks. Keep in mind that the recency effect can also backfire. “Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lost luggage or feeling unwell might be enough to overshadow the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead of joyful, ” Stephanie said. To avoid disproportionately (不成比例地)spotlighting the final days Poffenroth has created a trick: She amplifies (增强) earlier days in a trip to keep her memories well-rounded. “I collect little bits that will remind me of that day: a subway ticket, a seashell, a cardboard drink with a pub’ s logo on it. ” Then, as she is packing on the last day, “I go through all my little found treasures and spend a few moments recalling each one, ” she said. “This gives me a sense of closure for that chapter of travel and makes the experience memorable. ” 8. How did the author feel about the New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City? A. It was boring. B. It was eventful. C. It was relaxing. D. It was cheerful. 9. What do we know about the recency effect from paragraph 2? A. It is based on a psychological principle. B. It is widely used to create lovely memories. C. It highlights the final part of a series of events. D. It makes up for the inability of short-term memory. 10. What does the underlined word “backfire” mean in paragraph 5 ? A Be avoided to some extent. B. Be applied extensively. C. Produce undesirable consequences. D. Pose unexpected challenges. 11. According to Poffenroth, which of the following may help travelers have good memories? A. Share travel experiences. B. Recall the final days of a journey. C. Purchase as many souvenirs as possible. D. Purposely gather reminders of a journey. D According to new research, babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be important for language learning. In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas. They found that babies were able to very quickly learn new words that describe small quantities and combine these with familiar words to fully understand a phrase. Lead researcher, Dr. Barbara Pomiechowska, said: “Human creativity is limitless: it has taken us to the moon and allowed us to cure deadly diseases — but despite its importance, we don’t yet know when and how this impressive ability to combine ideas and invent new things appears. This research shows that we must go right back to the beginning of language learning to solve this puzzle. ” In the study, the researchers worked with 60 babies, all around the age of 12 months. They started by teaching the babies two novel words describing quantity: “mize”, to mean “one”, and “padu”, to mean “two”. Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example to identify “padu ducks” from some pictures. By teaching novel words to represent quantities, the researchers were able to test the babies’ ability to combine concepts in real time, rather than simply recall combinations of words that they already knew from previous experience. By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about. According to Dr. Barbara, this ability to combine different concepts is likely to help babies not only to understand the language input, but also to learn about different aspects of the physical and social world. 12. What puzzle did the researchers want to solve? A. The origin of creative thinking. B. The ways to cure deadly diseases. C. The limitations of creative thinking. D. The importance of language acquisition. 13. What were the babies asked to do in the study? A. Create novel words. B. Count numbers in order. C. Point out the number they knew. D. Match objects with what they heard. 14. What did the researchers use in the study? A. Previous data. B. Advanced technology. C. Professional concepts. D. Regular examinations. 15. What is this passage mainly about? A. Human creativity is limitless. B. Children’s learning ability varies. C. Children are good at creating words. D. Human creative thinking starts very early. 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。 A large number of people start experiencing strong loneliness in the few month following their graduation.

Her handwritten promise carried the joy we had shared, and laughter filled the room. It felt like Breana and I had been best friends forever. Since the day we met on the first day of senior high school， we had been inseparable. She enjoyed outdoor sports, and I loved dancing. We did almost everything together. When the tryout notice for the cheerleading team came up, Breana encouraged me to give it a shot Initially, I resisted her suggestion, calling her crazy, but deep down, I trusted her and secretly wanted to give it a try. Breana saw my hidden desire and promised to support me fully. She attended all the practices and even spent two weeks coaching me in her backyard. Finally, with a perfect performance, I successfully made it onto the cheerleading team. Regrettably, Breana failed to make the team due to physical discomfort. However, things began to change. After-school training took up most of my time, and our usual al get-togethers were delayed or canceled. Slowly but surely, we began to grow apart. A heated argument finally erupted when I refused Breana’s invitation to go hiking. “I’m so tired, Breana. Please, let me have some alone time.” “You’re always busy. We haven’t spent much time together! It’s all because of your excessive training!” “Stop, Breana! You don’t understand me at all! I don’t need a friend like you!” With those mean words, I put an end to our “friends to the end” promise. Over the following days, despite a tight schedule, the argument lingered (萦绕) in my mind, distracting me from training. It was a morning when there was chaos on the playground. Someone cried out, “Breana is injured!” Shocked and worried, I rushed to where the sound came from, for once not caring about anything. 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。 As I arrived at the scene, I saw Breana sitting there in pain. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At my words, she hugged me tightly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
