He mastered musical instruments including the flute, guitar, bass guitar and piano. As a competitive triathlete and surfer, he completed numerous 5K, 10K and half-marathon runs. “I was at the peak of my powers,” he said. But on Sept. 14, 2013, his life changed in an instant while surfing at the Jersey Shore. “I rode that wave, fell off my board, hit my head on the ocean floor,” Keenan said. “Everything faded to black.” Keenan woke up in a hospital room two and a half weeks later. He had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the shoulders down and the medical team didn’t expect him to regain independent breathing. Keenan called it one of the worst days of his life, saying it was “a lot of darkness.” When a parent of a former student visited him at the hospital, they handed him the phone. It was New York Police Department Detective Steven McDonald, who survived a shooting in 1986. He eventually forgave his attacker. But he too was paralyzed. He became a public speaker, preaching the importance of forgiveness. That day, he had advice for Keenan. At a recent talk at Berkeley College, Keenan recalled what McDonald had told him. “The only reason you survive is when you’re better, when you’re stronger, when your rehab is over, you’re going to come back and contribute in a significant way,” he said. “Don’t ever forget that in the end, there will be life.” Looking back on his life, Keenan realized he had been accustomed to what he called “deliberate discomfort.” Drawing on his own faith and that reminder from McDonald, Keenan overcame the odds. Four months after his accident, he was able to breathe on his own again. In 2015, Keenan went back to teaching, but later retired. When McDonald died in January 2017, Keenan decided to start helping others by becoming a motivational speaker. He published an autobiography in 2023 — “The Road to Resilience: The Billy Keenan Story” — and is already working on his next book, a new coming-of-age story called “I Am Iron Man.” 4. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce Keenan’s basic situations before injury. B. To make a contrast to indicate Keenan’s later terrible situation. C. To inform the readers that Keenan stood out with talent and skill. D. To indicate why Keenan was eventually injured. 5. What do we know about Keenan after his injury? A. He was paralyzed all over his body. B. He came back to consciousness after three weeks. C. He was expected to breathe independently soon by his medical team. D. He had used to accept paralysis and sufferings to be his fate. 6. What does the underlined word “rehab” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Regret. B. Reflection. C. Recovery. D. Rescue. 7. What message is mainly conveyed by Keenan’s story? A. Life is never easy for those who dream. B. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. C. Helping others is the way we help ourselves. D. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Billy Keenan这位多才多艺的教师，在经历一次重大受伤之后，在前警官侦探Steven McDonald的鼓励下，积极恢复，重回岗位，退休后成为励志演讲者，帮助他人，并成功出书。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Life had always been about action for former teacher Billy Keenan, who had served in the Army before. He mastered musical instruments including the flute, guitar, bass guitar and piano. As a competitive triathlete and surfer, he completed numerous 5K, 10K and half-marathon runs. “I was at the peak of my powers,” he said. (生命于 Billy Keenan而言就是战斗，他曾经入伍，精通乐器，也是有竞争力的铁人三项运动员，冲浪运动员，完成过数不清的赛事，如他而言，他正处于人生能量的巅峰)”可知，此处与而后的受伤到高位瘫痪，身体严重受创，形成鲜明对比，此段用意就是来对比说明之后Billy Keenan的艰难，为之后继续战斗走出困境埋下伏笔。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Everything faded to black.(一切逐渐变为黑色。)”、第三段中的“Keenan called it one of the worst days of his life, saying it was “a lot of darkness.”(基南称这是他生命中最糟糕的日子之一，他说那天“充满了黑暗”。)”以及第五段中的“Looking back on his life, Keenan realized he had been accustomed to what he called “deliberate discomfort.””(Keenan沉浸在他自称的“deliberate discomfort”)可知，那就是Keenan当时残疾，就处于那种有意识地认为自己瘫痪残疾，人生没有指望的自我消极情绪和状态中，由此可知，他过去曾经接受残疾和痛楚就是自己的最终命运。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The only reason you survive is when you’re better, when you’re stronger, when your … is over, you’re going to come back and contribute in a significant way (你活着的唯一理由就是，当你好一点，当你变强壮一点，当你的……结束，你要回归你的生活，用更有意义的方式去回馈这个社会)”可知，这里是对Keenan的身体康复状态的一个递进描述，划线单词前描述的是变好一点，变强壮一点，到划线单词后描述的回归生活，为社会做贡献，由此可知推断，划线单词表示的意义与“恢复健康”意义相关。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Life had always been about action for former teacher Billy Keenan, who had served in the Army before. He mastered musical instruments including the flute, guitar, bass guitar and piano. As a competitive triathlete and surfer, he completed numerous 5K, 10K and half-marathon runs. “I was at the peak of my powers,” he said. (生命于 Billy Keenan而言就是战斗，他曾经入伍，精通乐器，也是有竞争力的铁人三项运动员，冲浪运动员，完成过数不清的赛事，如他而言，他正处于人生能量的巅峰)”以及第二段的“But on Sept. 14, 2013, his life changed in an instant while surfing at the Jersey Shore.(但是在2013年9月14日，当他正在泽西海岸冲浪时，他的生活瞬间发生了改变。)”以及下文介绍的 Keenan的整个故事经历可知，他从一位多才多艺的处于人生巅峰的教师，突然变成重度伤残，可是他没有消沉，与命运抗争，最终回到岗位，并持续发光发热。他经历磨难，克服艰难，让自己更强大，由此可推断，Keenan自身的故事所传达的含义是那些杀不死你的，使你更强大。故选B项。 C The world’s largest iceberg is on the move again, drifting through the Southern Ocean after months stuck spinning on the same spot, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have said. Spanning an area of 3,672 square kilometers when measured in August — slightly bigger than Rhode Island — the A23a iceberg has been carefully tracked by scientists ever since it calved from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986. It remained grounded on the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea floor for more than 30 years, probably until it shrank just enough to loosen its grasp on the seafloor. Then, the iceberg was carried away by ocean currents before it became stuck again in a Taylor column — the name given to a spinning vortex (涡流) of water caused by ocean currents hitting an underwater mountain. Now that the iceberg has broken free, scientists expect it will continue drifting along the ocean currents toward warmer water and the remote island of South Georgia, where it is likely to break up and eventually melt, BAS said in a statement published Friday. While this particular iceberg probably broke away as part of the natural growth cycle of the ice shelf and won’t contribute to rising sea levels, climate change is driving worrying changes in this vast, isolated continent, with potentially devastating consequences for global sea level rise. Throughout the iceberg’s journey, scientists have studied its erosion and the ways sea ice can influence global ocean cycles of carbon and nutrients. “We know that these giant icebergs can provide nutrients to the waters they pass through, creating thriving (繁荣的) ecosystems in otherwise less productive areas,” said Laura Taylor, a biogeochemist who collected samples from the water around the iceberg. “What we don’t know is what difference particular icebergs, their scale, and their origins can make to that process.” “We took samples of ocean surface waters behind, immediately close to, and ahead of the iceberg’s route. They should help us determine what life could form around A23a and how it impacts carbon in the ocean and its balance with the atmosphere.” 8. What is the current status of the A23a iceberg? A. It keeps still in the Weddell Sea. B. It is melting rapidly near South Georgia. C. It is floating through the Southern Ocean. D. It is stuck again in a Taylor column. 9. What probably caused the A23a iceberg to break loose from the seafloor? A. A strong spinning vortex. B. The calving from ice shelf. C. The melting of the iceberg. D. The currents’ collision with sea mountains. 10. What might be the focus of the later study according to Laura Taylor? A. How the A23a influences the creation of thriving ecosystems. B. Whether the A23a will cause rising sea levels. C How the A23a affects global ocean cycles of carbon and nutrients. D. How the A23a impacts the carbon in the atmosphere. 11. Which of the following might be the most suitable title? A. What A23a will bring us after breaking free again. B. BAS is tracking the largest iceberg, A23a C. Moving A23a: Rising sea levels or thriving ecosystems D. World’s biggest iceberg, A23a, is on the move again 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了A23a这个世界最大的冰山挣脱束缚在南大洋漂流，分析了冰川的一些“前世今生”和它可能带来的一些环境生态影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The world’s largest iceberg is on the move again, drifting through the Southern Ocean after months stuck spinning on the same spot. (在数月被困在原地打转之后，世界上最大的冰川又开始在南大洋漂流移动了)”可知，A23a iceberg此时正在南大洋漂流。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“It remained grounded on the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea floor for more than 30 years, probably until it shrank just enough to loosen its grasp on the seafloor. (这冰山一直触底被困在南极洲的 Weddell Sea海底，也许直到它收缩变小，才挣脱了困在海底的束缚)”可知，the A23a 冰山因为融化不断缩小，才挣脱了被困在海底的束缚。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“scientists have studied its erosion and the ways sea ice can influence global ocean cycles of carbon and nutrients.(科学家研究了其侵蚀，海冰影响碳和养分的全球海洋周期的方式)”；第六段中的““We know that these giant icebergs can provide nutrients to the waters they pass through, creating thriving (繁荣的) ecosystems in otherwise less productive areas,” said Laura Taylor, a biogeochemist who collected samples from the water around the iceberg. “What we don’t know is what difference particular icebergs, their scale, and their origins can make to that process.” (‘我们知道，这些巨大的冰山可以为它们所经过的水域提供营养，在生产力较低的地区创造繁荣的生态系统，’从冰山周围的水中采集样本的生物地球化学家劳拉·泰勒说。‘我们不知道的是，特定的冰山、它们的规模和起源会对这一过程产生什么影响。’)”可推知，根据Laura Taylor所说，后续研究的重点可能是A23a如何影响繁荣生态系统的形成。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The world’s largest iceberg is on the move again, drifting through the Southern Ocean after months stuck spinning on the same spot, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have said.(英国南极调查局（BAS）的科学家们表示，世界上最大的冰山在原地旋转了几个月后，又开始移动了，它正在南大洋漂流。)”可知，世界上最大的冰川又开始移动，文章针对这个事件或自然现象，介绍它的一些重大过程、特征和移动可能带来的生态影响，并进行说明。D项“世界上最大的冰山A23A再次移动”能够概括文章内容，最适合作为文章标题，故选D项。 D Fancy letting a machine mediate (调解) your argument? It could be the latest application for AI as researchers reveal its mysterious recipe for finding common ground in culture war conflicts. Scientists at Google’s DeepMind project designed what they call the Habermas Machine, a large language AI inspired by German philosopher Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative action — the idea that common understanding fosters cooperation. It works by taking differing written views on a contentious (争议的) topic and coming up with a set of statements designed to keep everyone happy. Researchers found that the machine’s musings (想法) were preferred 56% of the time compared to statements produced by human mediators. Participants also found the AI response to be more logical and informative. Study co-author Prof Chris Summerfield, from the University of Oxford, said: “Helping people find agreement is a new frontier for AI. In the event, we found that it was not only as good as but better than humans trying to do the same job.” Summerfield believes the process of interacting through the AI model helps overcome the drawbacks of traditional debating chambers such as public meetings and social media. “People can venture these private beliefs,” he explained. “They’re not put in the position where they have to try and look clever or feel like they have to win an argument irrespective of what they really think. “We were amazed at how articulate people were. They were sensible and moderate. I bet that what happens on Twitter/X, for example, is that the process lends itself to digital preening (得意).” Part of the model’s success, he says, lies in its determination to give special weight to disagreeing opinion. Rather than siding with the majority, it allowed minority voices to feel heard. “A lot of policymaking is about finding good compromises, right?” he says. “And you can only fit so many people around the table. If you want a very inclusive process, then you need lots of people to participate. I would love to see this tool used to give us all a better opinion of what people think about everything, which I think would probably — on balance — be a good thing.” 12. What is theoretical basis for the Habermas Machine? A. Mutual trust originates from cooperation. B. Finding common ground is equal to settling conflicts. C. Resolving disagreements helps win argument. D. Shared agreement promotes cooperation. 13. Which might be the disadvantage of traditional mediation? A. Failing to show cleverness. B. Strong desire to win regardless of true thoughts. C. Being too casual to share secret thoughts. D. Making people extreme and unreasonable. 14. Which of the following helps the success of the Habermas Machine? A. Supporting the beliefs of the majority. B. Logical response with useful information. C. Allowing the majority voices to be heard. D. Completely ignoring disagreeing ideas. 15. What does Summerfield suggest about the Habermas Machine? A. Applying it to more situations. B. Involving more people in the research. C. Finding good compromises for it. D. Offering a better opinion of its process. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了由Google的DeepMind项目研究人员设计的Habermas Machine——以AI为基础的调解科技，能够更好地帮助人类解决现实的纷争。文章阐述了它的原理、实验结果和潜能应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Scientists at Google’s Deep Mind project designed what they call the Habermas Machine, a large language AI inspired by German philosopher Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative action — the idea that common understanding fosters cooperation. (谷歌‘深度思维’项目的科学家们设计了他们所谓的Habermas Machine，这是一种大型语言人工智能，灵感来自德国哲学家Jürgen Habermas的交流行为理论——即共同理解促进合作。)”可知，Habermas Machine的理论基础是达成共识有利于促进合作。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Summerfield believes the process of interacting through the AI model helps overcome the drawbacks of traditional debating chambers such as public meetings and social media. “People can venture these private beliefs,” he explained. “They’re not put in the position where they have to try and look clever or feel like they have to win an argument irrespective of what they really think. (萨莫菲尔德认为，通过人工智能模型进行互动的过程有助于克服公开会议和社交媒体等传统辩论室的缺点。‘人们可以大胆尝试这些私人信仰。’他解释说：‘他们没有被置于必须努力看起来聪明的位置，或者觉得他们必须赢得一场争论，而不管他们真正的想法是什么。’)”可知，相比于传统的在房间辩论或者在社媒上辩论，通过人工智能模型进行互动人们更愿意大胆说出私人想法，他们不会处于那种想让自己看起来聪明一点，或者为了赢得辩论不计自己真实想法的境地；由此可推知，传统调解的缺点是无论真实想法如何，都强烈渴望获胜，人们为了赢，会不在乎真实想法。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Participants also found the AI response to be more logical and informative. (参与者认为AI的回应非常有逻辑也有很多有用信息)”和第五段中的“Part of the model’s success, he says, lies in its determination to give special weight to disagreeing opinion. Rather than siding with the majority, it allowed minority voices to feel heard. (它的成功在于这个机器坚决考虑到了异议，不是一味迎合大多数人，也让小众群体的声音被听到)”以及结合四个选项的表述可知，B项“逻辑响应，并具有有用的信息。”是帮助Habermas Machine成功的原因之一。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““A lot of policymaking is about finding good compromises, right?” he says. “And you can only fit so many people around the table. If you want a very inclusive process, then you need lots of people to participate. I would love to see this tool used to give us all a better opinion of what people think about everything, which I think would probably — on balance — be a good thing.”(‘很多政策制定都是为了找到好的妥协，对吧？’他说。‘你只能让这么多人坐在桌子旁。如果你想要一个非常包容的过程，那么你需要很多人参与。我很乐意看到这个工具能让我们更好地了解人们对所有事情的看法，我认为总的来说，这可能是一件好事。’)”可推知， Summerfield建议将Habermas Machine这个AI工具用于更多的场合，给参与人提供更好的建议，从而达成共识，解决纷争。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 So your kid wants to quit. Should you let them? It can be hard for parents to know when a kid is ready to stop taking part in an extracurricular activity. Classes and sports can encourage grit (勇气) and foster belonging. But for some kids, they can also be a stress-inducing obligation. In these situations, the best thing to do is to avoid rushing to fix the problem. ____16____. Here’s how to have hard conversations with your kids about quitting. Examine why you care so much When your child says they’re ready to put their clarinet (单簧管) back in its case, the first thing you should do is examine yourself. If your kid wanting to quit produces a strong reaction in you, unpack that. ____17____. Maybe your family couldn’t swing team sports when you were growing up. So you’re determined your child will have a different experience. Ask your kid what’s going on ____18____. Maybe they just had a terrible horrible, no good, very bad day. The rule of thumb is that we never quit on a bad day. If it’s not just defeat from a bad day, do a little more digging. Even if the issue turns out to be more complex. They don’t feel excited or passionate about art class. You now have valuable information to inform your troubleshooting. Pay attention to what your child is complaining about The younger the child is, the less likely they are able to express their emotions or experiences verbally. So you may need other cues to figure out how your child feels. Pay attention to your child when they’re complaining. Maybe they’re sensitive to a coach’s raised voice. Or they’re too shy to talk to the other kids. ____19____. Come up with a creative compromise If your kid is bored, could you take a break or cut back on the amount they’re engaging in the activity? Then have a conversation with your child about what it means to have made a commitment. That way you’re teaching the child about honoring a commitment without forcing them to do something that’s really uncomfortable. ____20____. I think you would have been OK with that, too. In the grand scheme of things, this isn’t actually a big thing. A. See what they will say about it. B. Those are issues you can help fix. C. You’re probably in it for the wrong reasons. D. Assess their willingness to thrive in a challenging environment. E. A lot of times your intentions get muddied by your own desires. F. Even you end up needing to take a break from the activity for a while. G. Instead, get curious, listen and provide the child the experience of being heard. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孩子报了课外活动班，如果想退出，家长该如何反应，处理的一些心态、过程和策略。 【16题详解】 由上文“In these situations, the best thing to do is to avoid rushing to fix the problem. (在这种情况下，别急于处理问题)”以及下文“Here’s how to have hard conversations with your kids about quitting. (下面是如何和孩子进行一些艰难的关于退出的对话)”可知，设空处阐述正确的做法，选项G“相反你应该表示出好奇，倾听，提供让孩子觉得被倾听理解的体验”能承接上文，并引出下文的文章主题，符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 上文“If your kid wanting to quit produces a strong reaction in you, unpack that. (如果孩子要退出给你心里造成了强烈冲击，需要分析一下)”以及下文“Maybe your family couldn’t swing team sports when you were growing up. (也许是你家庭在你成长期间没有能搞成一些团队运动)”暗示了你把自己没实现的东西，强加在小孩身上，而小孩并不喜欢，这说明你这么做只是为了自己的心愿而非为了孩子的发展，E项“很多时候，你的意图都会被你自己的欲望混乱。”符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 这是段首句，要么承上启下，要么是此段中心句。由小标题“Ask your kid what’s going on (问问孩子到底发生了什么)”并结合此段的主要内容“Maybe they just had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. The rule of thumb is that we never quit on a bad day. If it’s not just defeat from a bad day, do a little more digging. Even if the issue turns out to be more complex. They don’t feel excited or passionate about art class. You now have valuable information to inform your troubleshooting.(也许他们只是有一个可怕的，可怕的，没有好的，非常糟糕的一天。经验法则是，我们从不在糟糕的一天中退出。如果这不仅是糟糕的一天失败，还要做更多的挖掘。即使问题变得更加复杂。他们对艺术课不会感到兴奋或充满热情。现在，你拥有有价值的信息来告知你的故障排除。)”可知，后面内容是孩子可能吐露出的各类信息，由此可知，此处需要一个引出句，A项“看看他们会怎么说。”符合语境，引出下文。故选A。 【19题详解】 由上文“Maybe they’re sensitive to a coach’s raised voice. Or they’re too shy to talk to the other kids. (这都是孩子列举的一系列的抱怨)”可知，此处列举了孩子们一系列的抱怨，即这是孩子们存在的问题，空处承接上文，指出父母应该去解决这些问题。选项B“这些是你可以帮助解决的问题。”符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据本段小标题“Come up with a creative compromise(提出创造性的妥协)”可知，本段主要指出要妥协。由下文“I think you would have been OK with that, too.(我认为你也会对此感到满意。)”可知“that”应该就是指出现的一种情况，即使出现，我们也可以妥协。F项“甚至你最终都需要休息一段时间。”符合，这是妥协的一种表现，对应“that”，符合题意。故选F。 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For years, 35-year-old Vamarr Hunter had a favourite spot in Chicago — the Give Me Some Sugah bakery, just a block from his home.

Every kid was overjoyed, and one such kid was little Johnny. Johnny was thrilled because he was going to the market with his father to buy various items that he liked. The market was bustling with activity, and all the businesses were decorated with colorful lights, creating a festive atmosphere. As Johnny and his father walked through the market, they were surrounded by the sounds of vendors calling out their wares, the laughter of children, and the clatter of shopping carts. The air was filled with the scent of freshly cooked food and the bright lights of the decorations. Johnny’s eyes widened in wonder as he took in the sights and sounds of the bustling market. While wandering through the market, Johnny’s attention was drawn to a shop with a large number of caged birds. The birds were constantly slamming their beaks against the cage in a desperate attempt to escape. Many of them were dripping with blood, and their feathers were ruffled (竖起) and dirty. Johnny felt a pang of sorrow and was deeply moved by the plight (困境) of the birds. Unable to control his emotions, Johnny approached the shopkeeper. “Why have you captured these helpless birds?” he inquired, his voice trembling with concern. Johnny thought to himself that it was not right to limit someone’s freedom, especially for innocent creatures like these birds. The shopkeeper looked at Johnny with a mixture of frustration and sadness. “I don’t like it,” he admitted, “but I don’t have any other options. I need the job and also require funds to feed my family.” Listening to the shopkeeper’s explanation, Johnny understood the complexity of the situation. He turned to his father and said, “Dad, can we buy these birds and set them free?” Meanwhile, he was searching for money in his pocket. “What about all those items you were planning to buy, Johnny? What if the man loses his job?” Johnny’s father inquired. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 For a brief moment, Johnny was confused and slightly anxious. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The shopkeeper was overjoyed and handed the cage to Johnny. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】For a brief moment, Johnny was confused and slightly anxious. However, he quickly reminded himself of the importance of the birds’ liberation, believing all the obstacles would be removed. With renewed determination, Johnny took his father’s hand tightly. He begged steadily and sincerely, “Dad, I can have a good time with you on New Year’s Eve, but these birds will have a greater time in the open sky.” His father looked at him, eyes glistening. Without hesitation, he handed over the money to the shopkeeper. “You can set these birds free,” he told the shopkeeper. “And I promise you a respectable position at the supermarket that was to open nearby in a week.” The shopkeeper was overjoyed and handed the cage to Johnny. As he eagerly took the cage and unbolted the cage door, all of the birds soared into the sky, disappearing into the distance. Johnny watched them go and began to clap, with a look of joy and satisfaction. “Dad, Now they can celebrate the new year with their families and friends. There couldn’t be a greater New Year’s present,” Johnny said with a beaming smile. His father embraced him, pride evident in his eyes. “You deserved it, my dear,” his father remarked. As they left the market, Johnny looked up at the sky, and knew that this New Year’s Eve would be one he would never forget. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Johnny在新年前夜和父亲一起去市场买礼物，在熙熙攘攘的集市中，Johnny看到一些鸟被囚禁在笼中待售，他不忍看到这些鸟的惨状，试图去拯救这些鸟，还他们自由，可是事情不是他想的那么简单，售鸟也是他人的生计，Johnny央求父亲，希望父亲能出手相助，可是怎么解决呢? 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“有那么一会儿，Johnny感到困惑，还有点焦虑。”可知，第一段可描写Johnny之后会做出的抉择，说服父亲帮助自己的经过以及父亲如何帮助Johnny。 ②由第二段首句“售货员非常开心，把鸟笼递给了Johnny。”可知，第二段可描写Johnny的心愿达成后的心态，表达对父亲的感谢以及感悟。 2.续写线索：不放弃内心的善良——想办法解救囚鸟——央求父亲，做出牺牲，解决现实矛盾——接过囚鸟，与鸟儿互动，抒发祝福和保护理念——放飞囚鸟，祝福，对父亲表示感谢，期望和感悟。 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①恳求：beg/plead ②递交：hand over/deliver ③庆祝：celebrate/observe ④值得：deserve/be worth 情绪类： ①决心：determination/resolution ②开心：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1]His father looked at him, eyes glistening.

B Life had always been about action for former teacher Billy Keenan, who had served in the Army before. He mastered musical instruments including the flute, guitar, bass guitar and piano. As a competitive triathlete and surfer, he completed numerous 5K, 10K and half-marathon runs. “I was at the peak of my powers,” he said. But on Sept. 14, 2013, his life changed in an instant while surfing at the Jersey Shore. “I rode that wave, fell off my board, hit my head on the ocean floor,” Keenan said. “Everything faded to black.” Keenan woke up in a hospital room two and a half weeks later. He had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the shoulders down and the medical team didn’t expect him to regain independent breathing. Keenan called it one of the worst days of his life, saying it was “a lot of darkness.” When a parent of a former student visited him at the hospital, they handed him the phone. It was New York Police Department Detective Steven McDonald, who survived a shooting in 1986. He eventually forgave his attacker. But he too was paralyzed. He became a public speaker, preaching the importance of forgiveness. That day, he had advice for Keenan. At a recent talk at Berkeley College, Keenan recalled what McDonald had told him. “The only reason you survive is when you’re better, when you’re stronger, when your rehab is over, you’re going to come back and contribute in a significant way,” he said. “Don’t ever forget that in the end, there will be life.” Looking back on his life, Keenan realized he had been accustomed to what he called “deliberate discomfort.” Drawing on his own faith and that reminder from McDonald, Keenan overcame the odds. Four months after his accident, he was able to breathe on his own again. In 2015, Keenan went back to teaching, but later retired. When McDonald died in January 2017, Keenan decided to start helping others by becoming a motivational speaker. He published an autobiography in 2023 — “The Road to Resilience: The Billy Keenan Story” — and is already working on his next book, a new coming-of-age story called “I Am Iron Man.” 4. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce Keenan’s basic situations before injury. B. To make a contrast to indicate Keenan’s later terrible situation. C. To inform the readers that Keenan stood out with talent and skill. D. To indicate why Keenan was eventually injured. 5. What do we know about Keenan after his injury? A. He was paralyzed all over his body. B. He came back to consciousness after three weeks. C. He was expected to breathe independently soon by his medical team. D. He had used to accept paralysis and sufferings to be his fate. 6. What does the underlined word “rehab” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Regret. B. Reflection. C. Recovery. D. Rescue. 7. What message is mainly conveyed by Keenan’s story? A. Life is never easy for those who dream. B. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. C Helping others is the way we help ourselves. D. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. C The world’s largest iceberg is on the move again, drifting through the Southern Ocean after months stuck spinning on the same spot, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have said. Spanning an area of 3,672 square kilometers when measured in August — slightly bigger than Rhode Island — the A23a iceberg has been carefully tracked by scientists ever since it calved from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986. It remained grounded on the Antarctic’s Weddell Sea floor for more than 30 years, probably until it shrank just enough to loosen its grasp on the seafloor. Then, the iceberg was carried away by ocean currents before it became stuck again in a Taylor column — the name given to a spinning vortex (涡流) of water caused by ocean currents hitting an underwater mountain. Now that the iceberg has broken free, scientists expect it will continue drifting along the ocean currents toward warmer water and the remote island of South Georgia, where it is likely to break up and eventually melt, BAS said in a statement published Friday. While this particular iceberg probably broke away as part of the natural growth cycle of the ice shelf and won’t contribute to rising sea levels, climate change is driving worrying changes in this vast, isolated continent, with potentially devastating consequences for global sea level rise. Throughout the iceberg’s journey, scientists have studied its erosion and the ways sea ice can influence global ocean cycles of carbon and nutrients. “We know that these giant icebergs can provide nutrients to the waters they pass through, creating thriving (繁荣的) ecosystems in otherwise less productive areas,” said Laura Taylor, a biogeochemist who collected samples from the water around the iceberg. “What we don’t know is what difference particular icebergs, their scale, and their origins can make to that process.” “We took samples of ocean surface waters behind, immediately close to, and ahead of the iceberg’s route. They should help us determine what life could form around A23a and how it impacts carbon in the ocean and its balance with the atmosphere.” 8. What is the current status of the A23a iceberg? A. It keeps still in the Weddell Sea. B. It is melting rapidly near South Georgia. C. It is floating through the Southern Ocean. D. It is stuck again in a Taylor column. 9. What probably caused the A23a iceberg to break loose from the seafloor? A. A strong spinning vortex. B. The calving from ice shelf. C. The melting of the iceberg. D. The currents’ collision with sea mountains. 10. What might be the focus of the later study according to Laura Taylor? A. How the A23a influences the creation of thriving ecosystems. B. Whether the A23a will cause rising sea levels. C How the A23a affects global ocean cycles of carbon and nutrients. D. How the A23a impacts the carbon in the atmosphere. 11. Which of the following might be the most suitable title? A. What A23a will bring us after breaking free again. B. BAS is tracking the largest iceberg, A23a C. Moving A23a: Rising sea levels or thriving ecosystems D. World’s biggest iceberg, A23a, is on the move again D Fancy letting a machine mediate (调解) your argument? It could be the latest application for AI as researchers reveal its mysterious recipe for finding common ground in culture war conflicts. Scientists at Google’s DeepMind project designed what they call the Habermas Machine, a large language AI inspired by German philosopher Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative action — the idea that common understanding fosters cooperation. It works by taking differing written views on a contentious (争议的) topic and coming up with a set of statements designed to keep everyone happy. Researchers found that the machine’s musings (想法) were preferred 56% of the time compared to statements produced by human mediators. Participants also found the AI response to be more logical and informative. Study co-author Prof Chris Summerfield, from the University of Oxford, said: “Helping people find agreement is a new frontier for AI. In the event, we found that it was not only as good as but better than humans trying to do the same job.” Summerfield believes the process of interacting through the AI model helps overcome the drawbacks of traditional debating chambers such as public meetings and social media. “People can venture these private beliefs,” he explained. “They’re not put in the position where they have to try and look clever or feel like they have to win an argument irrespective of what they really think. “We were amazed at how articulate people were. They were sensible and moderate. I bet that what happens on Twitter/X, for example, is that the process lends itself to digital preening (得意).” Part of the model’s success, he says, lies in its determination to give special weight to disagreeing opinion. Rather than siding with the majority, it allowed minority voices to feel heard. “A lot of policymaking is about finding good compromises, right?” he says. “And you can only fit so many people around the table. If you want a very inclusive process, then you need lots of people to participate. I would love to see this tool used to give us all a better opinion of what people think about everything, which I think would probably — on balance — be a good thing.” 12. What is theoretical basis for the Habermas Machine? A. Mutual trust originates from cooperation. B. Finding common ground is equal to settling conflicts. C. Resolving disagreements helps win argument. D. Shared agreement promotes cooperation. 13. Which might be the disadvantage of traditional mediation? A. Failing to show cleverness. B. Strong desire to win regardless of true thoughts. C. Being too casual to share secret thoughts. D. Making people extreme and unreasonable. 14. Which of the following helps the success of the Habermas Machine? A. Supporting the beliefs of the majority. B Logical response with useful information. C. Allowing the majority voices to be heard. D. Completely ignoring disagreeing ideas. 15. What does Summerfield suggest about the Habermas Machine? A. Applying it to more situations. B. Involving more people in the research. C. Finding good compromises for it. D. Offering a better opinion of its process. 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。 So your kid wants to quit. Should you let them?

Every kid was overjoyed, and one such kid was little Johnny. Johnny was thrilled because he was going to the market with his father to buy various items that he liked. The market was bustling with activity, and all the businesses were decorated with colorful lights, creating a festive atmosphere. As Johnny and his father walked through the market, they were surrounded by the sounds of vendors calling out their wares, the laughter of children, and the clatter of shopping carts. The air was filled with the scent of freshly cooked food and the bright lights of the decorations. Johnny’s eyes widened in wonder as he took in the sights and sounds of the bustling market. While wandering through the market, Johnny’s attention was drawn to a shop with a large number of caged birds. The birds were constantly slamming their beaks against the cage in a desperate attempt to escape. Many of them were dripping with blood, and their feathers were ruffled (竖起) and dirty. Johnny felt a pang of sorrow and was deeply moved by the plight (困境) of the birds. Unable to control his emotions, Johnny approached the shopkeeper. “Why have you captured these helpless birds?” he inquired, his voice trembling with concern. Johnny thought to himself that it was not right to limit someone’s freedom, especially for innocent creatures like these birds. The shopkeeper looked at Johnny with a mixture of frustration and sadness. “I don’t like it,” he admitted, “but I don’t have any other options. I need the job and also require funds to feed my family.” Listening to the shopkeeper’s explanation, Johnny understood the complexity of the situation. He turned to his father and said, “Dad, can we buy these birds and set them free?” Meanwhile, he was searching for money in his pocket. “What about all those items you were planning to buy, Johnny? What if the man loses his job?” Johnny’s father inquired. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 For a brief moment, Johnny was confused and slightly anxious. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The shopkeeper was overjoyed and handed the cage to Johnny. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
