She has attended 12 schools in 12 years. She was used to the teasing of students at a dozen schools who labeled her as “different”. “I have felt the anger at having to catch up in school... I was bullied because they knew I was poor, different, and read too much,” she wrote in her college essays. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. Khadijah was in third grade when she first realized the power of test scores, placing in the 99th percentile on a state exam — that is, only 1% of students across the country tested better than she did. Her teachers marked the 9-year-old as gifted, a special category that Khadijah, even at that early age, promised to keep. “I still remember that exact number,” Khadijah said. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to stay put, regardless of where her mother moved. Graduation was not far off and she needed strong college letters of recommendation from teachers who were familiar with her work. This decision meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m. She kept her grade-point average at just below a 4.0 while participating in the Academic Decathlon (十项全能), the debate team and leading the school’s track and field team. Her hard work paid off when she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application — and was accepted. Now a successful student at Harvard, Khadijah continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students. 4. What did some of Khadijah’s classmates think of her? A. She was optimistic. B. She was distinctive. C. She was distinguished. D. She was considerate. 5. What helped Khadijah to gain confidence? A. Her teacher paid special attention to her. B. She was marked by her classmates as gifted. C. She received recognition for her debating skills. D. Her score was better than 99% of others on a national test. 6. Why did Khadijah determine to stay at Jefferson High School? A. She had to stay where her mother moved. B. She was tired of keep moving from place to place. C She wanted to participate in the Academic Decathlon. D. She wanted to make preparations for applying to universities. 7. What can we learn from Khadijah’s story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Good things come to those who wait. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫Khadijah的女孩，自幼在西海岸的避难所、公园和汽车旅馆之间漂泊生活，她通过努力学习和坚持不懈的奋斗，克服无家可归和贫穷的困境，最终考入哈佛大学的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“She was used to the teasing of students at a dozen schools who labeled her as “different”. (她习惯了来自十几个学校的同学的嘲笑，他们称她为“与众不同的人”)”可知，同学们认为她与众不同，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Khadijah was in third grade when she first realized the power of test scores, placing in the 99th percentile on a state exam — that is, only 1% of students across the country tested better than she did.(Khadijah 在三年级时第一次意识到考试分数的力量，在一次州级考试中，她的成绩达到了第99百分位——也就是说，全国只有1%的学生比她表现得更好)”可知，她在考试中表现优异，超过99%的学生，因此获得了自信。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to stay put, regardless of where her mother moved. Graduation was not far off and she needed strong college letters of recommendation from teachers who were familiar with her work. (到了11年级，当她进入杰斐逊高中时，她决定无论母亲搬到哪里，她都要留在原地。毕业已近在眼前，她需要熟悉她工作的老师写强有力的大学推荐信)”可知，为了准备申请大学，Khadijh决定留在杰斐逊高中，以便老师了解她的表现。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“This decision meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m. She kept her grade-point average at just below a 4.0 while participating in the Academic Decathlon (十项全能), the debate team and leading the school’s track and field team.(这个决定意味着她每天早上4点就要乘公交车上学，晚上11点才能回家。她在参加学术十项全能、辩论队和领导校田径队的同时，保持了接近4.0的平均成绩。)”，以及最后一段中“Her hard work paid off when she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application — and was accepted. (她的辛勤努力得到了回报，当她将自己的人生故事写入哈佛大学的申请材料中时，她被录取了)”可推知，Khadijah克服困难，凭借努力进入哈佛大学，体现了“有志者事竟成”。故选C。 C In the genetic age, ecologists’ jobs are made much easier by two things. One is that every organism carries its own chemical identity card, in the form of its genome (基因组). The second is that they drop these ID cards everywhere they go, which allows scientists to harvest this “environmental DNA” (eDNA) from soil, sand, water and the like, and use it to keep track of which species are living where. “Every organism,” of course, includes humans. In a paper published on May 15th in Nature Ecology & Evolution, researchers report that such eDNA surveys pick up large quantities of human DNA as well as the animal sort. The researchers didn’t set out to study “inadvertent human genetic by catch”, as they call the phenomenon. The work began at the Witney Sea Turtle Hospital in Florida, during an investigation into a viral turtle disease. The researchers sampled water from the turtle’s tanks, as well as from ocean water and beaches upon which the creatures nested, looking for viral DNA. They expected to sweep up DNA from other species during their trawl (拖网) . What was surprising was just how much human DNA they found. Interested, they expanded their search. In both Florida and in Ireland they found human DNA in rivers, in beach sand, and even in air from rooms in which humans had been working Human DNA is not quite everywhere: it was not detectable in deep ocean water, or on remote beaches closed to the public. But anywhere that humans are, their DNA appears to be as well In one sense, that is unsurprising. But advances in gene-sequencing meant there was enough information in the samples to figure out plenty of things about the humans in question. They could pick out males, infer an individual’s ancestors, and detect a person’s disease risk David Duffy, an author of the paper, said the amount and quality of the DNA they discovered outnumbered the minimum necessary to be included in America’s database of missing people. The researches did not try to identify individuals in their study, as they thought it was against humanity. But they had no doubt it could be done. 8. What do we know about eDNA? A. It provides a novel way to make ID cards. B. It offers a new insight into the role of environment C. It helps researchers to restore individual organisms. D. It contains much genetic information about various species. 9. What does the underlined word “inadvertent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Familiar B. Insensitive. C. Accidental D. Complex 10. What did the researchers think of identifying individuals using the DNA? A It was morally unacceptable. B. It was out of the question. C. It was technically challenging. D. It was too time-consuming 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Breakthroughs in the Study of a Viral Turtle Disease B. The Application of Environmental DNA in Reserves C. Identification of Missing Persons through Genetic Information D. Human DNA’s Widespread Existence in Environmental Samples 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲的是人类DNA在环境样本中的普遍存在及其相关应用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One is that every organism carries its own chemical identity card, in the form of its genome (基因组). (一是每个生物都有自己的化学身份证，以基因组的形式存在。)”和“The second is that they drop these ID cards everywhere they go, which allows scientists to harvest this ‘environmental DNA’ (eDNA) from soil, sand. water and the like, and use it to keep track of which species are living where.(第二，他们把这些身份信息放在任何地方，这使科学家能够从土壤、沙子、水中获取这种‘环境DNA’（eDNA），并用它来追踪哪些物种生活在哪里。)”可知，“环境DNA”里有DNA，而DNA包含了物种的遗传信息，因此关于eDNA正确的说法是它包含了许多关于各种物种的遗传信息。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The work began at the Witney Sea Turtle Hospital in Florida, during an investigation into a viral turtle disease.(这项工作始于佛罗里达州的Witney Sea Turtle Hospital，当时正在调查一种海龟病毒性疾病。)”和“What was surprising was just how much human DNA they found.(令人惊讶的是，他们发现了多少人类DNA。)”可知，人类DNA是无意中被发现的，划线词所在句子表示“研究人员称这种现象为“无意的人类遗传副产品”，但他们并没有开始研究这种现象”，划线词inadvertent的意思是“无意的”，和accidental意思相近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researches did not try to identify individuals in their study, as they thought it was against humanity. (这些研究并没有试图在他们的研究中识别个人，因为他们认为这是反人类的。)”可知，研究者认为使用DNA识别个人在道德上是不可接受的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“In a paper published on May 15th in Nature Ecology & Evolution, researchers report that such eDNA surveys pick up large quantities of human DNA as well as the animal sort.(在5月15日发表在《自然生态与进化》杂志上的一篇论文中，研究人员报告说，这种eDNA调查可以检测到大量的人类DNA和动物DNA。)”可知，本文主要讲的是人类DNA在环境样本中的普遍存在及其相关应用，因此本文最好的题目是D选项Human DNA’s Widespread Existence in Environmental Samples(人类DNA在环境样本中的广泛存在)。故选D项。 D A new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the “usefulness” of stories — their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI “professionalizes” stories, making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring. In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three- sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI- generated ideas for their inspiration. They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and “usefulness”. They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI- generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier. The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Association Task (DAT) and found that more creative writers — those with the highest DAT scores — benefitted least from generative AI ideas. Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written, up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to 15.2% less boring. Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.” 12. What were some participants assigned to do in the study? A. Help targeted young writers. B. Improve some less creative works. C. Create a mini story for young men. D. Use AI to judge the quality of stories. 13. Who benefitted most from the AI-assisted writing in the study? A. Those using AI most. B. Those of most creativity. C. Those with the help of ChatGPT. D. Those writing the most. 14. What might be Anil Doshi’s attitude toward the AI-assisted writing? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays B. AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers.. C. AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages D. AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI如何提升写作创意，但也存在集体创新性下降的风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults.(在一项研究中，300名参与者被要求为年轻成人写一个简短的八句话的“微型故事”。)”可知，参与者被要求为年轻成人写一个简短的八句话的微型故事。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI.(他们发现，使用最多AI的作家在创造力方面获得了最大的提升，他们的故事在新颖性上得分高出8.1%，在实用性上得分高出9%，与没有使用AI创作的故事相比。)”可知，那些得到AI帮助最多的参与者写出的故事更具创意性，他们获益最大。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据末段Anil Doshi的话“While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.(虽然这些结果表明个人创造力有所提高，但也存在失去集体创新性的风险。如果出版行业更多地使用由生成式AI启发的故事，我们的研究发现这些故事会变得更加相似，独特性降低。这种现象在写作中是不被鼓励的。)”可知，Anil Doshi既提到了人工智能辅助生成故事的优点：个人创造力有所提高，也提到了缺点：集体创造力存在丧失的风险，因此他的评价是客观的。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段“Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.”(UCL管理学院的助理教授Anil Doshi说：“虽然这些结果表明个人创造力有所提高，但也存在失去集体创新性的风险。如果出版行业更多地使用由生成式AI启发的故事，我们的研究发现这些故事会变得更加相似，独特性降低。这种现象在写作中是不被鼓励的。”)”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能可以提高故事创意的新颖性，但同时也会使AI协助的写作产生相似性，故判断C选项“AI可以提升写作中的创造力，但也存在缺点”可以作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小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. How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫). ___16___ Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable. Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. ___17___ It’s often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it's important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. ___18___ Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage. Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over-stimulated. ___19___ If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in. Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. ___20___ A. Understand bird behavior. B. Train your bird to be quiet. C. This may be especially useful for parrots. D. Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love. E. Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe. F. Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone. G. Move slowly around your bird, and encourage others to do the same. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了如何让宠物鸟保持安静。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening.(大多数鸟都会发出一些声音，不是唱歌就是叫。鸟类在早上醒着的时候和晚上睡觉前往往是最大声的。)”可知，本段主要介绍要了解鸟儿的行为。故A选项“了解鸟的行为”切题，为本段的标题。故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling.(当你的鸟吹口哨或低语时，赞美它，而不是尖叫或吼叫。)”可知，选项承接上文说明其对哪种鸟类有作用。故C选项“这可能对鹦鹉特别有用”切题。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Furthermore, it’s important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird.(此外，当你和你的鸟交流时，保持冷静和温和的语气是很重要的。)”可知，选项承接上文具体说明保持冷静和温和的语气。故F选项“不要提高你的声音来回应你的鸟的音量或音调”切题。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over- stimulated.(避免快速移动。有可能是你或你家里的人在你的鸟周围移动得太快，导致他感到焦虑或过度刺激。)”可知，选项承接上文说明在鸟周围缓慢移动的重要性。故G选项“慢慢地在你的鸟周围移动，并鼓励其他人也这样做。”切题。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call.( 给你的鸟一个舒适和安全的环境。野外的鸟类参与“鸟鸣”，作为与其他鸟类交流和确保鸟群安全的一种方式。如果你离开房间时，你的鸟可能会吱吱叫，这可能是它试图向你发出鸟鸣。)”可知，上文提到要采取一些措施来确保鸟感到安全和舒适。所以建议通过模仿鸟的叫声来回应, 是一种提供安全感的方式，因为它可能被鸟理解为一种群体间的交流，表明它并不孤单。故E选项“试着用叫声回应，让他知道你很安全”切题。故选E项。 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。 One morning, Bridget Willis arrived at a restaurant in a wheelchair.

Our mother Clare was the heart of our family. She was the type of mom who always put our needs first, sacrificing her own desires for our happiness. Growing up, we established a beautiful tradition that each year, we would surprise her with a special gift to show our gratitude and love. This year, Oscar came up with a brilliant idea: “What if we made her a long and beautiful dress?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. As I recalled, since the day we were born, Mom hadn’t bought herself a beautiful new dress, so I knew we had to make this year’s surprise truly special. With that thought in mind, we set to work. I grabbed my drawing book and began to design, my pencil dancing across the page; while Oscar with her perfect sense of measurement and love for sewing. she got down to handling the cloth. Her eyes shone with concentration, while I focused on the beautiful patterns on the dress. Soon, the dress began to take shape — it was such a magnificent long dress, and we carefully wrapped it in gift paper. But then came the question: where to hide it for the surprise to be revealed at dinner? We put our heads together brainstorming the perfect hiding spot. “Nobody would think to look in my bedroom closet.” I suggested Oscar giggled, nodding in agreement, but we both neglected the fact that our two playful cats could be a problem. Finally, the moment arrived. After dessert, I exchanged a knowing look with Oscar. It was time to unveil our creation! We dashed to our bedroom together, my heart pounding in my chest as I flung open the closet door. 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。 “NO” I yelled, seeing our cats dashed out of the closet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Where did you get such a beautiful scarf?” Mom asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “NO!” I yelled, seeing our cats dashed out of the closet. My eyes widened in horror as I saw the gift-wrapped dress on the floor, torn and tattered. Oscar’s face paled as we both stared at the ruined surprise. Tears welled up in my eyes. How could this have happened? But there was no time to wallow in disappointment. We had to think fast. “Where did you get such a beautiful scarf?” Mom asked. I looked at Oscar, panic-stricken. Then, on the spur of the moment, I grabbed the torn pieces of fabric and held them up. “Mom, this was supposed to be a dress for you. We made it with all our love. But the cats got to it.” Mom’s eyes filled with emotion. She took the pieces from me and hugged us both. “This is the most beautiful ‘scarf’ I’ve ever seen. It’s filled with your love and that’s all that matters.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和妹妹满心期待着母亲节的到来。她们的母亲克莱尔总是把孩子的需要放在第一位，为了孩子们的幸福而牺牲自己的欲望。每年的母亲节两个姐妹都会给妈妈一个特别的礼物，以表达他们的感激和爱，今年他们为妈妈亲手制作了一件裙子并藏在了壁橱里。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““不!”看到我们的猫从壁橱里冲出来，我喊道。”可知，第一段可描写猫破坏了壁柜里的连衣裙以及姐妹的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“你从哪儿弄来这么漂亮的围巾的？母亲问”可知，第二段可描写妈妈得知姐妹为自己亲手做连衣裙后的感动。 2.续写线索：猫破坏裙子——姐妹伤心——设法弥补——母亲得知缘由——感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/witness ②.发生：happen/take place ③.抓住：grab/capture 情绪类 ①.失望地：in disappointment/in despair ②.充满了情感：be filled with emotion/be full of emotion 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B As long as she can remember, Khadijah has floated from shelters to parks to motels along the West Coast with her mother, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She has attended 12 schools in 12 years. She was used to the teasing of students at a dozen schools who labeled her as “different”. “I have felt the anger at having to catch up in school... I was bullied because they knew I was poor, different, and read too much,” she wrote in her college essays. However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. Khadijah was in third grade when she first realized the power of test scores, placing in the 99th percentile on a state exam — that is, only 1% of students across the country tested better than she did. Her teachers marked the 9-year-old as gifted, a special category that Khadijah, even at that early age, promised to keep. “I still remember that exact number,” Khadijah said. And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to stay put, regardless of where her mother moved. Graduation was not far off and she needed strong college letters of recommendation from teachers who were familiar with her work. This decision meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m. She kept her grade-point average at just below a 4.0 while participating in the Academic Decathlon (十项全能), the debate team and leading the school’s track and field team. Her hard work paid off when she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application — and was accepted. Now a successful student at Harvard, Khadijah continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students. 4. What did some of Khadijah’s classmates think of her? A. She was optimistic. B. She was distinctive. C. She was distinguished. D. She was considerate. 5. What helped Khadijah to gain confidence? A. Her teacher paid special attention to her. B. She was marked by her classmates as gifted. C. She received recognition for her debating skills. D. Her score was better than 99% of others on a national test. 6. Why did Khadijah determine to stay at Jefferson High School? A. She had to stay where her mother moved. B. She was tired of keep moving from place to place. C. She wanted to participate in the Academic Decathlon. D. She wanted to make preparations for applying to universities. 7. What can we learn from Khadijah’s story? A Actions speak louder than words. B. Good things come to those who wait. C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. D. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. C In the genetic age, ecologists’ jobs are made much easier by two things. One is that every organism carries its own chemical identity card, in the form of its genome (基因组). The second is that they drop these ID cards everywhere they go, which allows scientists to harvest this “environmental DNA” (eDNA) from soil, sand, water and the like, and use it to keep track of which species are living where. “Every organism,” of course, includes humans. In a paper published on May 15th in Nature Ecology & Evolution, researchers report that such eDNA surveys pick up large quantities of human DNA as well as the animal sort. The researchers didn’t set out to study “inadvertent human genetic by catch”, as they call the phenomenon. The work began at the Witney Sea Turtle Hospital in Florida, during an investigation into a viral turtle disease. The researchers sampled water from the turtle’s tanks, as well as from ocean water and beaches upon which the creatures nested, looking for viral DNA. They expected to sweep up DNA from other species during their trawl (拖网) . What was surprising was just how much human DNA they found. Interested, they expanded their search. In both Florida and in Ireland they found human DNA in rivers, in beach sand, and even in air from rooms in which humans had been working Human DNA is not quite everywhere: it was not detectable in deep ocean water, or on remote beaches closed to the public. But anywhere that humans are, their DNA appears to be as well In one sense, that is unsurprising. But advances in gene-sequencing meant there was enough information in the samples to figure out plenty of things about the humans in question. They could pick out males, infer an individual’s ancestors, and detect a person’s disease risk David Duffy, an author of the paper, said the amount and quality of the DNA they discovered outnumbered the minimum necessary to be included in America’s database of missing people. The researches did not try to identify individuals in their study, as they thought it was against humanity. But they had no doubt it could be done. 8. What do we know about eDNA? A. It provides a novel way to make ID cards. B. It offers a new insight into the role of environment C. It helps researchers to restore individual organisms. D. It contains much genetic information about various species. 9. What does the underlined word “inadvertent” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Familiar B. Insensitive. C. Accidental D. Complex 10. What did the researchers think of identifying individuals using the DNA? A It was morally unacceptable. B. It was out of the question. C. It was technically challenging. D. It was too time-consuming 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Breakthroughs in the Study of a Viral Turtle Disease B. The Application of Environmental DNA in Reserves C. Identification of Missing Persons through Genetic Information D. Human DNA’s Widespread Existence in Environmental Samples D A new study published in the journal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by boosting the novelty of story ideas as well as the “usefulness” of stories — their ability to engage the target audience and potential for publication. It finds that AI “professionalizes” stories, making them more enjoyable, more likely to have plot twists, better written and less boring. In a study, 300 participants were tasked with writing a short, eight-sentence “micro story” for a target audience of young adults. They were divided into three groups: one group was allowed no AI help, a second group could use ChatGPT to provide a single three- sentence starting idea, and writers in the third group could choose from up to five AI- generated ideas for their inspiration. They then asked 600 people to judge how good the stories were, assessing them for novelty and “usefulness”. They found that writers with the most access to AI experienced the greatest gains to their creativity, their stories scoring 8.1% higher for novelty and 9% higher for novelty compared with stories written without AI. Writers who used up to five AI- generated ideas also scored higher for emotional characteristics, producing stories that were better written, more enjoyable, less boring and funnier. The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Association Task (DAT) and found that more creative writers — those with the highest DAT scores — benefitted least from generative AI ideas. Less creative writers conversely saw a greater increase in creativity: access to five AI ideas improved novelty by 10.7% and usefulness by 11.5% compared with those who used no AI ideas. Their stories were judged to be up to 26.6% better written up to 22.6% more enjoyable and up to 15.2% less boring. Anil Doshi, Assistant Professor at the UCL School of Management, said, “While these results point to an increase in individual creativity, there is risk of losing collective novelty. If the publishing industry were to use more generative AI-inspired stories, our findings suggest that the stories would become less unique and more similar to each other. That is not encouraged in writing.” 12. What were some participants assigned to do in the study? A. Help targeted young writers. B. Improve some less creative works. C. Create a mini story for young men. D. Use AI to judge the quality of stories. 13. Who benefitted most from the AI-assisted writing in the study? A. Those using AI most. B. Those of most creativity. C. Those with the help of ChatGPT. D. Those writing the most. 14. What might be Anil Doshi’s attitude toward the AI-assisted writing? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Indifferent. D. Dismissive. 15. What can be the best title for the passage? A. AI Is Being Used to Create Novel Stories Nowadays B AI Is Catching on But Threatening the Future of Writers.. C. AI Can Boost Creativity in Writing But Has Its Disadvantages D. AI Helps Improve Writing Skills But Is Limited to Young Writers 第二节（共5小题；每小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. How to Keep a Pet Bird Quiet Birds can be excellent companions, but they can also make a lot of noise. Sometimes that noise is unavoidable, but there are a few steps you can take to train your bird out of loud or continuous squawking (尖叫). ___16___ Most birds tend to make some noise, either by singing or squawking. Birds tend to be most vocal during waking hours in the morning and before going to sleep in the evening. Some birds are more likely to make noise than others, but understand before bringing a bird home that some noise will be unavoidable. Teach your bird to speak softly. Praise your bird when he whistles or whispers, instead of squawking or yelling. ___17___ It’s often easier to teach them soft- spoken words compared to other types of sounds. Furthermore, it's important to maintain a calm and gentle tone when interacting with your bird. ___18___ Because this could strengthen the behavior you are trying to discourage. Avoid quick movements. It’s possible that you or someone in your household is moving too quickly around your bird, causing him to feel anxious or over-stimulated. ___19___ If you have children living at home, teach them not to run through the room your bird is in. Provide your bird with comfort and security. Birds in the wild participate in “flock calls” as a way of communicating with other birds and ensuring the safety of the flock. If your bird is likely to squawk when you leave the room, it could be his attempt at sending you a flock call. ___20___ A. Understand bird behavior. B. Train your bird to be quiet. C. This may be especially useful for parrots. D. Give him a treat for quietness to earn your love. E. Try squawking back to let him know that you’re safe. F. Do not raise your voice in response to your bird’s volume or tone. G. Move slowly around your bird and encourage others to do the same. 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。 One morning, Bridget Willis arrived at a restaurant in a wheelchair.

Our mother Clare was the heart of our family. She was the type of mom who always put our needs first, sacrificing her own desires for our happiness. Growing up, we established a beautiful tradition that each year, we would surprise her with a special gift to show our gratitude and love. This year, Oscar came up with a brilliant idea: “What if we made her a long and beautiful dress?” she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. As I recalled, since the day we were born, Mom hadn’t bought herself a beautiful new dress, so I knew we had to make this year’s surprise truly special. With that thought in mind, we set to work. I grabbed my drawing book and began to design, my pencil dancing across the page; while Oscar with her perfect sense of measurement and love for sewing. she got down to handling the cloth. Her eyes shone with concentration, while I focused on the beautiful patterns on the dress. Soon, the dress began to take shape — it was such a magnificent long dress, and we carefully wrapped it in gift paper. But then came the question: where to hide it for the surprise to be revealed at dinner? We put our heads together, brainstorming the perfect hiding spot. “Nobody would think to look in my bedroom closet.” I suggested Oscar giggled, nodding in agreement, but we both neglected the fact that our two playful cats could be a problem. Finally, the moment arrived. After dessert, I exchanged a knowing look with Oscar. It was time to unveil our creation! We dashed to our bedroom together, my heart pounding in my chest as I flung open the closet door. 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。 “NO” I yelled, seeing our cats dashed out of the closet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Where did you get such a beautiful scarf?” Mom asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
