He is following the path our human ancestors took out of Africa about 200,000 years ago. Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. And he isn't walking alone. During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. Along the way, he meets people from small villages, cities, and country farms. Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 4. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 7. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. C Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. The writers filed a copyright infringement (侵犯) case in early July in which they claim their copyrighted books were used without their permission as part of training dataset for ChatGPT and similar AI models. Here’s a critical point to remember: AIs like ChatGPT don’t parrot books word for word. They generate new content based on patterns learned from the training data. The specific words and sentences formed aren’t direct copies from copyrighted books, blurring the lines of traditional infringement. I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence — whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment — in this case, the extensive databasets of text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity. The current case challenges this understanding, claiming that AI’s method of learning breaks copyright law. Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. 8. What may be the result of the case in the author’s view? A. AI may get away with it. B. Writers may gain huge benefit. C. AI’s works may be banned. D. Met a platforms may be closed. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reliance of AI on humans. B. The application of AI’s imitation. C. The role of AI in human learning. D. The common feature of AI and human brain. 10. What will the compensation strategy bring about? A. The ceasing of AI development. B. Lack of sustainable quality data. C. The protests from the publishers. D. Financial burdens for AI developers. 11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To clarify his or her stand. B. To present an example. C. To make some comparison. D. To add background information. D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 12. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 13. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 14. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 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。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___16___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives. Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. ___17___ Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read. Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone. ___18___ You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. ___19___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___20___ A Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 第三部分语言知识运用（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, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve been interested in diving.

The house was very old and shabby (破旧的) and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers- by but simply just glare at them. The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.” The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace (壁炉) mantle (覆盖物). “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections (收藏品) in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. “Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.” The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. Paragraph 1: The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: From that day on something changed inside the old man. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆市清华中学校高2026届高二上期12月检测 英语试卷 考试时间: 120分钟 满分: 150分 注意事项: 1. 答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时, 将答案写在答题卡上, 写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后, 将试卷和答题卡交回, 第一部分听力（共两节;每小题1.5分,满分30分） 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题;每小题1.5分,共7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Sometimes, they give him a place to stay for a night or two. Often, his hosts share a little bit about their lives with him. The Out of Eden Walk is well-named. Besides a few rides on boats or ships, Salopek is walking the entire way. No cars. He doesn’t even ride bikes, though he does use pack animals. An important part of Salopek’s mission is to tell the stories of ordinary people. Walking gives him more time to look around and to talk to the people he encounters. He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, “I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.” Following a story is not new for Paul Salopek. He is a journalist. He has written for The Atlantic, the Chicago Tribune, National Geographic, and other publications. His works have earned many awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes. As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. Salopek calls it slow journalism. The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.” 4. What is the Out of Eden Walk? A. It is the latest penned work of Paul Salopek. B. It is a ship journey from Africa to the tip of South America. C. It is a toured long walk across the continents taken by Paul Salopek. D. It is a new fashionable way of travelling through different countries. 5. What does Salopek think of the conversation with strangers? A. Fruitful. B. Discouraging. C. Challenging. D. Time-wasted. 6. Why did Paul Salopek start the Out of Eden Walk? A. To finish his work for the Pulitzer Prizes. B. To explore the best headlines for the journalism. C. To unearth the deeper part of the major news stories. D. To interest the readers in the ancient ordinary people. 7. What do we know about slow journalism? A. Realistic and worthwhile. B. Influential but informal. C. Humorous and relaxing. D. Efficient and meaningful. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了国家地理探险家Paul Salopek的徒步旅程，他从非洲出发，重走人类祖先迁徙至南美洲的路线，并沿途记录所见所闻，分享普通人的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America.(国家地理探险家保罗·萨洛佩克正在从非洲步行到南美洲的顶端。)”和第二段“Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk. (萨洛佩克将他的旅程命名为“走出伊甸园之旅”。)”及“During each part of his walk, Paul is joined by a local guide. (在保罗行走的每一部分，都有一名当地导游陪同。)”可推知, “走出伊甸园之旅”是保罗·萨洛佩克(Paul Salopek)在各大洲进行的一次巡回徒步旅行。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As he walks through different countries, landscapes, and cultures, Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears. (当他走过不同的国家、风景和文化时，萨洛佩克正在记录他所看到和听到的东西。)”和第三段“He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began. As he puts it, ‘I am in a seven, eight, nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.’(自从他开始步行以来，他已经与数千人交谈过。正如他所说，‘我与完全陌生的人进行了长达七、八、九年的对话。’)”可知，萨洛佩克记录他自己一路的所见所闻, 故可推知其与陌生人的谈话是有收获的。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“As a journalist, Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again. But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper. The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire. (作为一名记者，萨洛佩克经常飞到一个地区报道一个故事，然后很快又离开了。但他觉得自己错过了故事的一部分，想更深入地挖掘。走出伊甸园之旅就是从这个愿望中诞生的。)”可知, 保罗·萨洛佩克开始了“走出伊甸园之旅”，是为了挖掘重大新闻故事的更深层次内容。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The goal is to deeply explore some of the major news stories of our times by talking to ordinary people who are affected. As Salopek describes it, “It is about slowing down enough to actually inhabit the stories of the day and to get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”(目标是通过与受影响的普通人交谈，深入探索我们这个时代的一些重大新闻故事。正如萨洛佩克所描述的，“这是关于放慢速度，真正融入当天的故事，了解头条新闻背后的人。”)”可知, 慢速新闻报道耗时但却是值得的。故选 A项。 C Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. The writers filed a copyright infringement (侵犯) case in early July in which they claim their copyrighted books were used without their permission as part of training dataset for ChatGPT and similar AI models. Here’s a critical point to remember: AIs like ChatGPT don’t parrot books word for word. They generate new content based on patterns learned from the training data. The specific words and sentences formed aren’t direct copies from copyrighted books, blurring the lines of traditional infringement. I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence — whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment — in this case, the extensive databasets of text — and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity. The current case challenges this understanding, claiming that AI’s method of learning breaks copyright law. Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. 8. What may be the result of the case in the author’s view? A. AI may get away with it. B. Writers may gain huge benefit. C. AI’s works may be banned. D. Met a platforms may be closed. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reliance of AI on humans. B. The application of AI’s imitation. C. The role of AI in human learning. D. The common feature of AI and human brain. 10. What will the compensation strategy bring about? A. The ceasing of AI development. B. Lack of sustainable quality data. C. The protests from the publishers. D. Financial burdens for AI developers. 11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To clarify his or her stand. B. To present an example. C. To make some comparison. D. To add background information. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了Sara Silverman、Christopher Golden和Richard Kadrey对OpenAI和Meta的版权侵权诉讼，分析了AI学习模式与版权法之间的冲突，以及可能的法律和行业影响，提出了补偿策略实施的难题，并探讨了案件结果可能带来的AI和版权法界线的根本性改变。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Comedian Sarah Silverman recently joined forces with bestselling writers Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey against two unlikely opponents: ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI and Meta Platforms. (喜剧演员Sarah Silverman最近与畅销书作家克里斯托弗·戈登（Christopher Golden）和理查德·凯德里（Richard Kadrey）联手对抗两个不太可能的对手：ChatGPT的创作者OpenAI和Meta Platforms。)”以及第二段“I have a vision there’s a slim chance this case will hold up, but the final call is in the hands of the courts. (我有一个想象，这个案子维持下去的可能性很小，但最终决定权在法院手中。)”可知，作者认为这个案件胜诉的可能性很小，案件的结果是人工智能可能会逃脱惩罚。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The cornerstone of human-learning is imitation (模仿). The nature of intelligence—whether biological or artificial rests on the ability to recognize patterns and apply them in innovative ways. AI, such as ChatGPT, operates similarly. It learns from its environment—in this case, the extensive databasets of text—and imitates patterns it finds. That’s how it can compose a strikingly human-like string of text despite having no consciousness or creativity. (人类学习的基石是模仿。无论是生物的还是人工的，智能的本质都取决于识别模式并以创新的方式应用它们的能力。人工智能，如ChatGPT，也有类似的运作方式。它从环境中学习——在本案件中是大量的文本数据库——并模仿它发现的模式。这就是为什么它可以在没有意识或创造力的情况下写出一系列引人注目的人类文本。)”可知，人工智能有和人脑类似的运行方式，本段主要介绍了人工智能与人脑的共同特征。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Some publishers provide a compensation (补偿) strategy. But there are potential issues with this approach. First, its being in effect might pose enormous, even unovercome challenges. The large scale of data that AI models like ChatGPT take in for training thousands of books, millions of articles, and more makes it impractical to track down every single copyright holder and negotiate terms for use. This could result in high expenses for AI developers, potentially preventing innovation and destroying public models. (一些出版商提供了补偿策略。但这种方法也存在潜在的问题。首先，它的生效可能会带来巨大的、甚至无法克服的挑战。像ChatGPT这样的人工智能模型吸收用于训练的数千本书、数百万篇文章等的大量数据，使得追踪每一位版权持有人并协商使用条款变得不切实际。这可能会导致人工智能开发者的高昂支出，可能会阻碍创新并破坏公共模型。)”可知，补偿策略可能会导致人工智能开发者的高昂支出，即造成人工智能开发者的财务负担。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But here’s an interesting paradox (悖论) to consider: The victory of writers against formal AI service providers may not end the issue. Far from it. The outcome of this unfolding drama could be more than a simple courtroom win or loss; it could fundamentally redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence and copyright law. (但这里有一个有趣的悖论需要考虑：作家战胜正式的人工智能服务提供商可能不会结束这个问题。远非如此。这场正在上演的戏剧的结果可能不仅仅是一场简单的法庭输赢；它可以从根本上重新定义人工智能和版权法的界限。)”可知，作者提出一种悖论，即作家们即使赢得了官司，问题也可能远未解决，这可能从根本上重新定义人工智能和版权法的界限，作者在本段打算澄清自己的立场，即这场官司的影响可能远远超出法庭上的胜负。故选A项。 D Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme (酶) can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease. Much of the historical research into Alzheimer’s disease(AD) has focused on plaques (斑块) that form in the brain, which recently, though, have been found not likely to be the direct cause of it. In seeking another way forward, a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s. With the intention of investigating how PDE4B might affect the brain, the UK team genetically modified (改造) mice with Alzheimer’s to reduce PDE4B activity. The results are astonishing. First, the mice with Alzheimer’s and normal PDE4B expression showed memory loss in the sense of direction, a distinctive characteristic of AD. But those who had the genetic modification to have less PDE4B activity showed no damage at all. The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD, decreased to some extent in the brains of mice with less PDE4B activity, compared to those with more of the enzyme. Because all of these effects were found in the mice that already had Alzheimer’s but had significant improvement in symptoms, the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. “These results offer real hope for the development of new treatments that will benefit patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the future,” said Neil Dawson, a co- author of the study. “The next stage is to test whetherPDE4B- limiting drugs have similar beneficial effects in the AD mouse model, to test their potential effectiveness in human Alzheimer’s disease.” 12. How did the British researchers get the inspiration? A. By figuring out the direct cause of AD. B. By going over much historical research. C. By referring to a previous Australian study. D. By breaking down PDE4B in the AD mouse. 13. What can be learnt about PDE4B? A. Its activity promotes the sense of direction. B. It might bring about the development of AD. C. It is processed by a certain enzyme in the brain. D. It will be investigated to reduce mice brain activity. 14. What does the underlined word “hallmark” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Cause. B. Feature. C. Principle. D. Finding. 15. What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about? A. The future research focus. B. The existing research background. C. The probable research limitation. D. The practical research application. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了限制PDE4B酶对阿尔兹海默症的影响及其研究前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s (一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。)”可知，英国研究人员是通过参考之前的澳大利亚研究获得灵感的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“a group of British researchers turned to an Australian study which showed having the gene for the production of an enzyme known as PDE4B was identified as a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s (一组英国研究人员参考了一项澳大利亚研究，该研究表明，拥有生产一种名为PDE4B的酶的基因被确定为患阿尔兹海默症的风险因素。)”可知，PDE4B可能会导致阿尔兹海默症的发展。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“a distinctive characteristic of AD.(阿尔兹海默症一个显著特征)”“The team also observed that inflammation (炎症), another hallmark of AD (研究团队还观察到，炎症——阿尔兹海默症的另一个标志)”可知，hallmark意为“特征”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“the researchers say that further investigation into how to limit PDE4B in human patients with the condition could lead to new treatment pathways. (研究人员表示，进一步研究如何在患有这种疾病的人类患者中限制PDE4B的活性可能会开辟新的治疗途径。)”可知，文章最后两段内容主要讲述了未来的研究重点。故选A。 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。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. ___16___ Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives. Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. ___17___ Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read. Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fit in well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone. ___18___ You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. ___19___ For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. ___20___ A. Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 【答案】16 C 17. E 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。我们的姿势、手势、动作或面部表情会影响我们的声誉。本文从不同方面就如何在面试时读懂对方的肢体语言给我们一些指导。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Body language matters, especially in interviews.”（肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。）可知，选项承接上文，继续说明肢体语言的重要性。故C选项“重要的不是你说什么，而是你怎么说”切题。how you say it呼应Body language matters。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality.”（通过阅读面试中的肢体语言，可以对求职者的性格有很有价值的了解。）以及下文“Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.”（以下是一些常见的面试肢体语言信号，你可以学习阅读。）可知，上文谈到在面试中读懂肢体语言可以对候选人的个性提供有价值的见解。也就是说在面试中读懂肢体语言的益处，然后接下来谈到“以下是一些你可以学会读懂的常见的面试肢体语言信号。”故可知E项“然而，理解肢体语言并不是一门精确的科学”切题，说明它是可以学会读懂的。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture.”（你可以通过观察人们动作或姿势的变化来解读他们的肢体语言）可知，本段主要在说要发现不同点。故A选项“发现不同点”切题，为本段的小标题。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive（咄咄逼人的） answer.”（例如，人们冷的时候可能会交叉双臂。但是，当你看到应聘者同时交叉双臂、跷二郎腿和握拳时，你就要准备好接受一个咄咄逼人的回答了。）可知，一个具体的动作可能表达不同的意思，所以你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思。故F选项“你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思”切题。承接下文。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark（引发）defensive and reserved reactions.”（积极的肢体语言可以让应试者放松并敞开心扉。消极的肢体语言会引发防御和矜持的反应。）可知，选项总结上文，说明怎么样做到成为合格的候选人。故G选项“要注意错误，以保持积极的候选人体验”切题。故选G项。 第三部分语言知识运用（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, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve been interested in diving.

You expressed your anxiety about the popularity of AI, worrying that humans would become too dependent on AI. I share your concerns about AI. Undoubtedly, AI does benefit us a lot. With the application of AI, the cost can be significantly reduced by employing fewer workers. The efficiency can be improved by accelerating the production process.

The house was very old and shabby (破旧的) and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers- by but simply just glare at them. The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents. As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota (份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.” The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines (小雕像) on the fireplace (壁炉) mantle (覆盖物). “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections (收藏品) in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul. “Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.” The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. Paragraph 1: The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: From that day on something changed inside the old man. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house. Still filled with fear, he hesitantly knocked on the door, waiting breathlessly. Finally, it opened, and out came the old man. Seeing the boy holding a well-wrapped dog figurine, he looked very astonished but still glared at him without a word. Determined to break the ice, the boy gave the old man the gift with a precious card attached, expressing his care. Moved by what the boy had done, the old man sighed and accepted the boy. In return, he bought a magazine from the boyl. The little boy thanked him and said goodbye to him. The old man didn’t say anything but he stood there watching the boy disappearing into the distance. From that day on something changed inside the old man. He would go out for a walk once or twice a week. And two months later, he adopted a real live dog. People often saw him walking the lovely dog in the morning and the evening. It seemed that the dog led the lonely soul out of darkness and loneliness. Gradually, he began to greet others with a bright smile. How fortunate it was for the old man to open up his door to the little boy on that afternoon, for he also opened up the door of his heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一个小男孩为了完成学校杂志售卖的任务份额敲开了一个古怪老人的门，男孩发现老人收集了很多小狗雕像，他为老人的孤独感到难过，也想借老人对狗狗的喜爱卖给他杂志，却遭到了拒绝，男孩将自己的小狗雕像送给了老人，老人很感动，并购买了一份杂志，从这天起老人发生了一些改变，他渐渐走出了孤独，敞开了心扉。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“小男孩朝老人的房子走去。”可知，第一段可描写男孩送给老人礼物以及老人收到男孩的礼物非常感动。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那天起，老人的内心发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写老人的改变。 2. 续写线索：敲门——送礼物——接受——回报——改变——走出孤独。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①表达：express/convey ②破冰：break the ice/break the silence ③出去散步：go out for a walk/take a walk 情绪类 ①惊讶：astonished/surprised ②害怕：fear/horror/terror 【点睛】[高分句型1] Moved by what the boy had done, the old man sighed and accepted the gift.
