The “Father of the National Park System,” John Muir was an influential writer, naturalist, and environmentalist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1838 in Dunbar, Scotland, he moved to the United States with his family and was attracted by the land. He was a prize-winning inventor, but it’s his love for wild places and absolute devotion to protecting them that we remember him for.
As a young man, he explored the North American continent by foot, walking thousands of miles until he eventually settled in California. There, he fell in love with Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. His article series, “Studies in the Sierra,” put his name on the map and launched a prolific writing career, with over 300 articles and 10 books published. A true mountain man, he encouraged everyone to “climb the mountains and get their good tidings”.
His writings inspired presidents, congressmen, and average citizens to care about nature. In 1890, due in large part to a series of articles he published in Century magazine, U.S. Congress created Yosemite National Park. Muir was also involved in the creation of the Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Parks, thus earning his title.
But his work didn’t stop there: in 1892, Muir and his supporters founded the Sierra Club to “do something for wildness and make the mountains glad.” In 1901, he published the book “Our National Parks” and caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt, who visited him at Yosemite. During that visit, they laid the foundation of Roosevelt’s groundbreaking protection programs.
Muir died in 1914, but his memory lives on, continuing to inspire new generations of environmentalist everywhere.
4. Which can best explain the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2?
A. High-paying. B. Normal. C. Full-time. D. Productive.
5. What contributed to Muir’s writing career?
A. His love for wild places. B. His work as an environmentalist.
C. His devotion to national parks. D. His exploration of American continents.
6. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. Muir’s articles earned him his title.
B. Muir appealed for the protection of national parks.
C. Muir inspired people to visit national parks.
D. Muir’s articles had an influence on official decision.
7. Which words can best describe Muir?
A. Adventurous and committed. B. Determined and humorous.
C. Honest and courageous. D. Generous and inspirational.
C
An experimental pair of gloves isn’t particularly fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s hands warm. Instead the gloves use tactile (触觉的) sensors woven into its fabric to serve an entirely different purpose: teaching piano and other hands-on skills.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student Yiyue Luo and her colleagues created these “smart gloves” using tactile technology which includes physical sensations such as vibrations (震动) or force to help with tactile activities. Researchers used the gloves to record one pianist’s hand movements while playing a song. They then relayed those movements to a student through fingertip vibrations, helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece with greater accuracy. “Hand-based movements like piano playing are normally really subjective and difficult to record and transfer,” Luo says. “But with these gloves we are actually able to track one person’s touch experience and share it with another person to improve their tactile learning process.”
Using a computerized embroidery (刺绣) machine, the team fixed small wires linked to a pressure-sensing material in the gloves to detect hand motions. When a piano teacher wearing the gloves repeatedly performed a tune, a machine-learning algorithm (运算法则) processed their movement on the keys and translated it into instructional vibrations. Students wearing their own gloves then attempted to play the same tune, with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through proper movements. By the trials’ end, students who had practiced with the gloves could play more accurately than those who had not.
The team also tested the gloves’ ability to aid people playing online games with a mouse and keyboard, recording motions from experienced players to guide green hands. People who gamed with the gloves’ guidance scored better on average than those who did not.
Playing piano or video games is often just for fun, but Luo adds that with an improved algorithm, coded to identify and catch finer hand movements, the new glove technology could someday help to teach crucial practices such as medical operations.
8. In which practice can the smart gloves be unavailable?
A. Playing the guitar. B. Singing songs.
C. Teaching sign language. D. Typing on a keyboard.
9. What is the function of the pressure-sensing material?
A. To record songs.
B. To translate tunes.
C. To keep hands warm.
D. To monitor hand movements.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The gloves are designed for fun.
B. The gloves have been put into use.
C. The gloves can be used to identify codes.
D. The gloves will be used in more fields.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An introduction to a promising technology.
B. An advertisement of a new product.
C. An approach to teaching piano.
D. An instruction for a computerized machine.
D
In an era when online misinformation is seemingly everywhere and objective facts are often in argument, UC Berkeley psychologists in a new study have presented a somewhat contradictory partial solution: Expose young children to more misinformation online — not less.
Orticio, a Ph.D. student in UC Berkeley’s Department of Psychology, and his colleagues used a pair of experiments involving 122 children aged four to seven to test how their level of skepticism (怀疑) changed in different online environments.
The first study exposed them to an e-book with varying degrees of true and false statements about animals. Next to a picture of a zebra, for example, some children were shown truths like that zebras had black and white stripes. Others were shown falsehoods about zebras being red and green. Based on that information, they indicated whether the claims were true or false. A second study simulated (模拟) search engine results and posed similar animal facts and fictions.
Next, children evaluated the truth of a new claim within that same digital context, this time about an alien species called Zorpies. On a screen were images of 20 so-called Zorpies. One of the alien’s faces showed that it had three eyes; the rest of the Zorpies wore dark sunglasses that covered their eyes. Children were then asked to decide whether all Zorpies had three eyes. But before making their final decision, participants were allowed to fact-check the claim by tapping any number of the aliens, removing their sunglasses and revealing their eyes. Since children knew nothing about the aliens, their skepticism could only come from their assessment of how reliable this digital platform was.
Researchers found that the children who were the most hardworking about fact-checking the Zorpies claims were also the ones who saw more false claims about animals earlier in the study. Meanwhile, those who had more reliable environments with fewer false claims earlier in the study did almost no fact-checking. A computer simulation confirmed that the children in the more unreliable environments were more likely to reveal potential misinformation.
12. What do psychologists recommend to help children deal with online misinformation?
A. To leave them in a less protected information environment.
B. To help them sort out different kinds of information.
C. To require them to collect some useful information.
D. To help them develop the ability of the critical thinking.
13. Who will be more likely to become a good fact-checker?
A. The children working harder to make statements.
B. The children seeing more false claims.
C. The children exposed to more digital contexts.
D. The children exposed to more reliable environments.
14. How were the experiments conducted?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By making questionnaires.
C. By analyzing documents.
D. By interviewing participants.
15 What can we learn from the experiments?
A. They were carried out through the same online digital platform.
B. Participants can tap the number of Zorpies to get true information.
C. Participants can remove the sunglasses for reference.
D. They both presented false information to the participants.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)

Essays are an extended piece of writing that presents an argument or information on a topic. They can vary in purpose, style and type but they all involve questioning, assessing and discussing ideas or evidence. Here are four tips on how to write an essay: introducing your essay, focusing on it structure, using quotes and sources, and ending with a conclusion.
A good introduction explains the facts that the reader needs to know first. ___16___ Be clear about your aims and always write in the third person. It’s a good idea to begin your essay using the same style of language as the question, to show you are answering it directly.
___17___ Paragraphs can help. Start with a “topic sentence” that introduces what the paragraph is about. At the end, bring your topic to a close so the reader can move on to the next idea. ___18___ They connect it to the previous one.
If you used ideas from a book in your essay, you can include snippets from it to support your points. These are quotes and have speech marks around them to show they are not your words. ___19___ For example, “Dr Roberts says, ‘Climate change is...’”. At the end of the essay, you can list all the books that helped you.
In your final paragraph, you should conclude by summarising all your points to show how you have answered the essay question. You might begin this section with “In conclusion,” and your tone should be confident. ___20___
A. You should also share who said it.
B. It helps readers improve their writing skills.
C. To help the reader follow your ideas, you need structure.
D. Writing essays is an unavoidable but fun part of studying lots of subjects.
E. It sums up what the essay will be about and what you are trying to prove.
F. Here you can write in the first person and give your own opinion on the topic.
G. You can use words such as “however” or “furthermore” to start a new paragraph.

It was an ___26___ adventure, and we did a lot of cool things. ___27___, what I saw made me sad. We got to see the human ___28___ on nature in a way that I just hadn’t been exposed to before. I had a false ___29___ that there was still a lot of untouched nature out there. We biked 2,400 miles, and it turned out that basically the only places that felt ____30____ were the national parks.

Late at night the hospital was as quiet as a library. The soft hum of fluorescent lights (荧光灯) and the rhythmic beep of medical equipment created a quiet atmosphere. Nurses moved silently from room to room, attending to their patients with gentle care. But suddenly, a wild wolf burst through the doors, breaking the silence. The hallways, usually filled with soft talking and the beep-beep of machines, were now full of scared noises. People couldn’t believe their eyes as the wolf turned their safe place into a mess.
Katie, a brave nurse, was there too. She’s always calm in tough times, but even she was surprised to see a wolf in the hospital. While everyone else ran away, Katie stood still. Her heart was beating really fast, and her hands were shaking. She was so confused!
But then, Katie saw something strange. The wolf had something in its mouth - it looked like a tiny animal. This was very odd for a wolf. Katie’s curiosity made her forget her fear. She really wanted to know what was happening and how she could help.
As soon as people saw the wolf, the hospital’s security team jumped into action. They told everyone to leave the building calmly. “Go to the nearest exit, please!” they said loudly, but in a way that made people feel safe. They moved fast, helping everyone get out of the building without taking any risks. “Stay together and follow me!” they told the crowd, making sure nobody got lost.
Katie felt her heart beating even faster than before. The sight of the wolf made her want to find out why and help them. It was a very unusual situation, and she knew she had to do something.
注意:

The “Father of the National Park System,” John Muir was an influential writer, naturalist, and environmentalist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1838 in Dunbar, Scotland, he moved to the United States with his family and was attracted by the land. He was a prize-winning inventor, but it’s his love for wild places and absolute devotion to protecting them that we remember him for.
As a young man, he explored the North American continent by foot, walking thousands of miles until he eventually settled in California. There, he fell in love with Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. His article series, “Studies in the Sierra,” put his name on the map and launched a prolific writing career, with over 300 articles and 10 books published. A true mountain man, he encouraged everyone to “climb the mountains and get their good tidings”.
His writings inspired presidents, congressmen, and average citizens to care about nature. In 1890, due in large part to a series of articles he published in Century magazine, U.S. Congress created Yosemite National Park. Muir was also involved in the creation of the Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Parks, thus earning his title.
But his work didn’t stop there: in 1892 Muir and his supporters founded the Sierra Club to “do something for wildness and make the mountains glad.” In 1901, he published the book “Our National Parks” and caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt, who visited him at Yosemite. During that visit, they laid the foundation of Roosevelt’s groundbreaking protection programs.
Muir died in 1914, but his memory lives on, continuing to inspire new generations of environmentalist everywhere.
4. Which can best explain the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2?
A. High-paying. B. Normal. C. Full-time. D. Productive.
5. What contributed to Muir’s writing career?
A. His love for wild places. B. His work as an environmentalist.

An experimental pair of gloves isn’t particularly fashionable or useful for keeping anyone’s hands warm. Instead the gloves use tactile (触觉的) sensors woven into its fabric to serve an entirely different purpose: teaching piano and other hands-on skills.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate student Yiyue Luo and her colleagues created these “smart gloves” using tactile technology, which includes physical sensations such as vibrations (震动) or force to help with tactile activities. Researchers used the gloves to record one pianist’s hand movements while playing a song. They then relayed those movements to a student through fingertip vibrations, helping the learner build muscle memory and perform the piece with greater accuracy. “Hand-based movements like piano playing are normally really subjective and difficult to record and transfer,” Luo says. “But with these gloves we are actually able to track one person’s touch experience and share it with another person to improve their tactile learning process.”
Using a computerized embroidery (刺绣) machine, the team fixed small wires linked to a pressure-sensing material in the gloves to detect hand motions. When a piano teacher wearing the gloves repeatedly performed a tune, a machine-learning algorithm (运算法则) processed their movement on the keys and translated it into instructional vibrations. Students wearing their own gloves then attempted to play the same tune, with the fingertip vibrations guiding them through proper movements. By the trials’ end, students who had practiced with the gloves could play more accurately than those who had not.
The team also tested the gloves’ ability to aid people playing online games with a mouse and keyboard, recording motions from experienced players to guide green hands. People who gamed with the gloves’ guidance scored better on average than those who did not.
Playing piano or video games is often just for fun, but Luo adds that with an improved algorithm, coded to identify and catch finer hand movements, the new glove technology could someday help to teach crucial practices such as medical operations.
8. In which practice can the smart gloves be unavailable?
A. Playing the guitar. B. Singing songs.
C. Teaching sign language. D. Typing on a keyboard.
9. What is the function of the pressure-sensing material?
A. To record songs.
B. To translate tunes.
C. To keep hands warm.
D. To monitor hand movements.
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The gloves are designed for fun.
B. The gloves have been put into use.
C. The gloves can be used to identify codes.
D. The gloves will be used in more fields.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. An introduction to a promising technology.
B. An advertisement of a new product.
C. An approach to teaching piano.
D. An instruction for a computerized machine.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A

In an era when online misinformation is seemingly everywhere and objective facts are often in argument, UC Berkeley psychologists in a new study have presented a somewhat contradictory partial solution: Expose young children to more misinformation online — not less.
Orticio, a Ph.D. student in UC Berkeley’s Department of Psychology, and his colleagues used a pair of experiments involving 122 children aged four to seven to test how their level of skepticism (怀疑) changed in different online environments.
The first study exposed them to an e-book with varying degrees of true and false statements about animals. Next to a picture of a zebra, for example, some children were shown truths like that zebras had black and white stripes. Others were shown falsehoods about zebras being red and green. Based on that information, they indicated whether the claims were true or false. A second study simulated (模拟) search engine results and posed similar animal facts and fictions.
Next, children evaluated the truth of a new claim within that same digital context, this time about an alien species called Zorpies. On a screen were images of 20 so-called Zorpies. One of the alien’s faces showed that it had three eyes; the rest of the Zorpies wore dark sunglasses that covered their eyes. Children were then asked to decide whether all Zorpies had three eyes. But before making their final decision, participants were allowed to fact-check the claim by tapping any number of the aliens, removing their sunglasses and revealing their eyes. Since children knew nothing about the aliens, their skepticism could only come from their assessment of how reliable this digital platform was.
Researchers found that the children who were the most hardworking about fact-checking the Zorpies claims were also the ones who saw more false claims about animals earlier in the study. Meanwhile, those who had more reliable environments with fewer false claims earlier in the study did almost no fact-checking. A computer simulation confirmed that the children in the more unreliable environments were more likely to reveal potential misinformation.
12. What do psychologists recommend to help children deal with online misinformation?
A. To leave them in a less protected information environment.
B. To help them sort out different kinds of information.
C. To require them to collect some useful information.
D. To help them develop the ability of the critical thinking.
13. Who will be more likely to become a good fact-checker?
A. The children working harder to make statements.
B. The children seeing more false claims.
C. The children exposed to more digital contexts.
D. The children exposed to more reliable environments.
14. How were the experiments conducted?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By making questionnaires.
C. By analyzing documents.
D. By interviewing participants.
15. What can we learn from the experiments?
A. They were carried out through the same online digital platform.
B. Participants can tap the number of Zorpies to get true information.
C. Participants can remove the sunglasses for reference.
D They both presented false information to the participants.

Essays are an extended piece of writing that presents an argument or information on a topic. They can vary in purpose, style and type but they all involve questioning, assessing and discussing ideas or evidence. Here are four tips on how to write an essay: introducing your essay, focusing on it structure, using quotes and sources, and ending with a conclusion.
A good introduction explains the facts that the reader needs to know first. ___16___ Be clear about your aims and always write in the third person. It’s a good idea to begin your essay using the same style of language as the question, to show you are answering it directly.
___17___ Paragraphs can help. Start with a “topic sentence” that introduces what the paragraph is about. At the end, bring your topic to a close so the reader can move on to the next idea. ___18___ They connect it to the previous one.
If you used ideas from a book in your essay, you can include snippets from it to support your points. These are quotes and have speech marks around them to show they are not your words. ___19___ For example, “Dr Roberts says, ‘Climate change is...’”. At the end of the essay, you can list all the books that helped you.
In your final paragraph, you should conclude by summarising all your points to show how you have answered the essay question. You might begin this section with “In conclusion,” and your tone should be confident. ___20___
A. You should also share who said it.
B. It helps readers improve their writing skills.
C. To help the reader follow your ideas, you need structure.
D. Writing essays is an unavoidable but fun part of studying lots of subjects.
E. It sums up what the essay will be about and what you are trying to prove.
F. Here you can write in the first person and give your own opinion on the topic.
G. You can use words such as “however” or “furthermore” to start a new paragraph.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了手语的定义、种类及在英国的发展历程等情况。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:手语使用手部动作、肢体语言和面部表情作为交流方式,而不是说话或书写。本空与hand movements和body language并列,作uses的宾语,expression“表情”不止一种,此处应用名词复数形式expressions。故填expressions。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:像口语一样,手语随着时间的推移而发展和变化,经常添加新的单词和短语。本句谓语为grow and change,此处为非谓语动词,且sign languages与add“添加”为主动关系,应用现在分词,作状语。故填adding。
【38题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。句意:手语的第一个证据可以追溯到公元前5世纪,但历史学家认为它可能比口语还要古老。date back to“追溯到”。句子描述一般事实,时态用一般现在时,主语The first evidence of sign language为第三人称单数,谓语也用第三人称单数形式dates。故填dates。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:手语的第一个证据可以追溯到公元前5世纪,但历史学家认为它可能比口语还要古老。根据句中的than可知,此处应用形容词的比较级形式older“更古老的”。故填older。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态或语态。句意:英国已知最早使用手语的记录是在1576年的一场婚礼上,第一所聋儿学校于1760年在苏格兰开办。本空在句中作谓语,根据时间状语in 1760可知,本句描述过去的动作和状态,时态应用一般过去时,谓语用open“开”的过去式opened。或者主语the first school与谓语动词open“打开”之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词应用was。故填opened或was opened。
【41题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管手语被广泛使用,但直到20世纪70年代它才受到鼓励,大多数聋儿被教授口语和书面语言来代替手语。前后句意存在让步关系,应用although/though/while“虽然”引导让步状语从句,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Although/Though/While。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:尽管手语被广泛使用,但直到20世纪70年代它才受到鼓励,大多数聋儿被教授口语和书面语言来代替手语。spoken和written为并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:2003年,英国政府正式承认英国手语本身就是一种语言。此处修饰动词 accepted,应用副词officially“正式地”,作状语。故填officially。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然后,在2022年,法律更新,使英国手语成为英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰的一种合法认可的语言。此处表示泛指“一种合法认可的语言”,应用不定冠词,legally是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用冠词a。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:给予BSL这一地位,鼓励学校和工作场所为听力障碍学生、工人和客户提供更多支持。encourage sb./sth. to do sth.为固定用法,意为“鼓励某人/某物做某事”,此处应用动词provide“提供”的不定式to provide,作宾补。故填to provide。

第二节 读后续写 (满分25 分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Late at night, the hospital was as quiet as a library. The soft hum of fluorescent lights (荧光灯) and the rhythmic beep of medical equipment created a quiet atmosphere. Nurses moved silently from room to room, attending to their patients with gentle care. But suddenly, a wild wolf burst through the doors, breaking the silence. The hallways, usually filled with soft talking and the beep-beep of machines, were now full of scared noises. People couldn’t believe their eyes as the wolf turned their safe place into a mess.
Katie, a brave nurse, was there too. She’s always calm in tough times, but even she was surprised to see a wolf in the hospital. While everyone else ran away, Katie stood still. Her heart was beating really fast, and her hands were shaking. She was so confused!
But then, Katie saw something strange. The wolf had something in its mouth - it looked like a tiny animal. This was very odd for a wolf. Katie’s curiosity made her forget her fear. She really wanted to know what was happening and how she could help.
As soon as people saw the wolf, the hospital’s security team jumped into action. They told everyone to leave the building calmly. “Go to the nearest exit, please!” they said loudly, but in a way that made people feel safe. They moved fast, helping everyone get out of the building without taking any risks. “Stay together and follow me!” they told the crowd, making sure nobody got lost.
Katie felt her heart beating even faster than before. The sight of the wolf made her want to find out why and help them. It was a very unusual situation, and she knew she had to do something.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
She decided to approach the wolf slowly, speaking in a soft, peaceful voice. “Hey there,” Katie whispered, moving cautiously. “It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you.” The wolf’s eyes were full of fear and desperation, but it didn’t growl or try to run away. As Katie got closer, she could see that the tiny animal in its mouth was a badly injured wolf cub. “Oh, you poor thing,” she murmured, reaching out a hand. The mother wolf hesitated for a moment, then gently placed the cub at Katie’s feet, as if asking for help.
Paragraph 2:
When knowing she came to help, the wolf seemed to understand. It backed away a few steps, allowing Katie to examine the cub. Katie quickly assessed the cub’s injuries. She glanced back at the mother wolf, who was watching her intently, and spoke softly, “I’ll do my best to save your baby.” With the hospital staff assisting, they worked together to clean and bandage the wounds. The mother wolf waited anxiously. After what seemed like hours, the mother wolf’s eyes softened in relief as she gently took the cub back. Katie watched as they disappeared into the night, feeling a deep sense of accomplishment and wonder.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。深夜,医院异常安静,突然闯入一只狼,引起恐慌。勇敢护士Katie镇定观察,发现狼嘴中有小动物。安保人员迅速行动,指挥人员安全撤离,而Katie决定采取行动。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“她决定慢慢地走近狼,用柔和、平静的声音说话。”可知,第一段可以描写Katie努力和狼沟通并让狼理解她的善意的过程。
②由第二段句首内容“当知道她来帮忙时,狼似乎理解了。”可知,第二段可以描写狼放下戒备,让Katie拯救小狼的过程。
2.续写线索:用柔和、平静的声音说话—把幼崽放下—狼理解—救助小狼—离开
