【18题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:专家表示,中国已将战略重点放在发展新优质农业生产力上,这标志着农业增长向个性化和技术驱动型转变。本句已有谓语动词has put,所以signal用非谓语形式,此处为非谓语动词作状语,signal和逻辑主语China之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填signaling/signalling。
【19题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:先进设备和绿色技术应融入农业生产的每一个阶段,以平衡生产力和可持续性。本句已有谓语动词should be integrated,所以balance用非谓语形式,根据句意,此处表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to balance。
【20题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:例如,在种子研究中发现了许多优良基因。identify作本句谓语,和主语superior genes之间是被动关系,用被动语态,根据前文时间状语Up to now可知,用现在完成时的被动语态,主语为名词复数。故填have been identified。

Fish Cheeks
By Amy Tan 1987
I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger. For Christmas, I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.
When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food?
On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy (黏糊糊的) rock cod (浔鳕鱼) with bulging eyes, tofu that looked like stacked white sponges, a bowl soaking dried fungus back to life, and squid with crisscrossed knife markings.
And then they arrived — the minister’s family and all my relatives in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas packages. Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert grimaced (脸部扭曲). Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and belched (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It’s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddened face. The minister managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into silence for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”
And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner. It wasn’t until many years later — long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert — that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen all my favorite foods.
24. The author’s descriptions of the food suggest that she _______.
A. thought it not festive B. valued her mother’s effort
C. viewed it as unappealing D. felt unfamiliar with the menu
25. What made Amy the most embarrassed during the dinner?
A. Robert grimaced at the food. B. Her father offered her fish cheek.
C. The minister attempted a polite burp. D. Her relatives reached across the table.
26. What was Amy’s mother’s purpose in choosing the menu?
A. To bridge the cultural gap. B. To teach family traditions.
C. To express a mother’s love. D. To test cultural differences.
27. What has the author learnt in the story?
A. Pride lies in accepting who we are. B. Time shapes our understanding.
C. Family love conquers all barriers. D. Cultural roots define identity.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在14岁的时候,母亲请外国朋友来家吃饭的事情。当时作者为亲戚和父亲在餐桌前的表现感觉非常失望,非常尴尬。但是母亲却告诫她可以外表像美国女孩,而内在仍然要保持中国人的内在品质。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy (黏糊糊的) rock cod (浔鳕鱼) with bulging eyes, tofu that looked like stacked white sponges, a bowl soaking dried fungus back to life, and squid with crisscrossed knife markings.(平安夜那天,我看到母亲为了准备一顿奇特的晚餐,真是费尽了心思。厨房里堆满了令人毛骨悚然的生食材:一条眼睛鼓鼓的、黏糊糊的浔鳕鱼,像叠起来的白色海绵一样的豆腐,一碗泡发的干木耳重获新生,还有切满刀痕的鱿鱼)”可知,作者用了负面的、不吸引人的词汇,表明作者认为这些食物看起来并不吸引人。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.(然后我父亲用筷子在鱼眼下方戳了一下,挑出了那块软肉。‘艾米,你最爱吃的,’他说着,把嫩嫩的鱼腮肉递给我。我真想找个地缝钻进去)”可知,父亲把鱼鳃肉夹给作者让作者感到自己想找个地缝钻进去,因此,晚餐时让艾米最尴尬的是她父亲给她鱼腮肉。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner. It wasn’t until many years later — long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert — that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen all my favorite foods.(尽管我当时并不同意她的看法,但我知道她理解我那天晚上在晚餐上遭受了多少痛苦。直到许多年后——早在我对罗伯特的迷恋消失之后——我才能够完全领会她的教诲,以及我们那顿特别晚餐背后的真正意义。那年平安夜,她选择的都是我最爱吃的食物)”可知,母亲为她选择了所有她最喜欢的食物作为圣诞晚餐的菜单,这表明母亲的目的是表达母爱。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”(等大家都走后,母亲对我说:‘你外表想和美国女孩一样。’她递给我一份早到的礼物。那是一条米色粗花呢迷你裙。‘但内心你要永远是个中国人。你要为自己与众不同而感到骄傲。你唯一的羞耻就是有羞耻感。’)”可推知,作者的母亲告诉她要为自己与众不同而感到骄傲,唯一的羞耻是有羞耻感。作者后来意识到母亲的话的道理,即要接受并珍视自己的身份和文化背景。因此,作者从这个故事中学到的是“骄傲在于接受我们自己是谁”。故选A项。
C
Unless we pursue AI carefully, the Nobel Committee will one day give a Peace Prize to the people cleaning up its terrible consequences, just as it did with nuclear physics. This year’s Nobel Prizes celebrate both works relating to artificial intelligence and efforts by the group Nihon Hidankyo to end the nuclear war.
It was a striking parallel. Last century, the Nobel Committees awarded prizes in physics for uncovering the structure of atoms, which enabled the development and subsequent deployment of nuclear weapons. Similarly, artificial intelligence begins as fundamental research in computer science, yet its development poses a wide spectrum of societal risks, including misinformation, job displacement, and surveillance.
About 80 years ago, hundreds of top scientists joined the Manhattan Project in a race to build an atomic weapon before the Nazis did. Yet after Germany surrendered, the project continued and only one scientist, Joseph Rotblat, left the project. After the war he returned to physics, focusing on medical uses of radiation, and became a leader in the nuclear antiproliferation movement.
Looking back, Rotblat explained “You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around. ”
Though written decades ago, these words are a frighteningly accurate description of the prevailing ethos in AI research today. Fortunately, now, as then, there are thoughtful, grounded individuals who stand out in the development of AI. Ed Newton-Rex resigned last year from his position leading the music team at Stability AI, over the company’s insistence on creating generative.
AI models trained on copyrighted data without paying for that use. This year, Suchir Balaji resigned as a researcher at OpenAI over similar concerns. At a 2018 internal meeting, Meredith Whittaker voiced concerns about a project to develop AI to power military drone targeting and surveillance and eventually succeeded in pressuring Google to drop it.
When the Nobel Prize Committees choose which people among those working on AI to award, they set a powerful incentive for the AI researchers of today and tomorrow. We can start by looking past those focused on the rapid development of capabilities, instead following the lead of those who insist on engaging with the context of their work and who have the capacity not only to evaluate but also to respond to changing circumstances. As the nuclear era teaches us, right now is the time to carefully evaluate what applications of scientific discovery and whom among today's scientists reflect the values not of the world in which we currently live but the one which we hope to inhabit.
28. The author quotes Joseph Rotblat mainly to _______.
A. challenge an assumption B. suggest an alternative
C. make a comparison D. illustrate a point
29. It is implied in the passage that _______.
A. collaboration between different parties is essential for responsible AI development
B. the development of AI could potentially lead to unforeseen global crises
C. AI researchers have lost control of their own creations
D. the Nobel Prize should stop awarding AI researchers
30 What does the word “ethos” underlined in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Challenge B. Motivation C. Spirit D. Force
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过类比核物理的发展,指出人工智能(AI)发展带来的社会风险不容忽视。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Looking back, Rotblat explained “You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around. ” (回顾过去,罗特布拉特解释说:“你以某种方式参与其中,却忘记了自己是一个人。这变成了一种瘾,你只是为了制造一种小玩意儿而继续下去,而没有思考其后果。然后,在做完之后,你为自己制造它找到了一些理由。而不是反过来。”)”以及第五段“Though written decades ago, these words are a frighteningly accurate description of the prevailing ethos in AI research today. Fortunately, now, as then, there are thoughtful, grounded individuals who stand out in the development of AI. Ed Newton-Rex resigned last year from his position leading the music team at Stability AI, over the company's insistence on creating generative. (尽管这些话是几十年前写的,但它们却惊人地准确地描述了当今AI研究中的主流风气。幸运的是,现在和那时一样,有一些有思想、脚踏实地的人在AI的发展中脱颖而出。去年,艾德·牛顿-雷克斯因公司坚持在未支付版权使用费的情况下使用版权数据训练生成式AI模型,而辞去了他在Stability AI领导音乐团队的职位。)”可知,通过引用Rotblat的观点,作者旨在说明当前AI研究领域存在类似核物理发展中的盲目性,即技术开发优先于伦理反思。因此,引用Rotblat的目的是通过历史案例阐明当前问题的核心。故选D项。

(除非我们谨慎地追求人工智能(AI)的发展,否则有一天,诺贝尔奖委员会将会把和平奖颁给那些清理其可怕后果的人,就像它曾经对核物理领域所做的一样。今年的诺贝尔奖既表彰了与人工智能相关的工作,也表彰了日本隐藏原子弹受害者团体(Nihon Hidankyo)为结束核战所做的努力。)”以及第二段“It was a striking parallel. Last century, the Nobel Committees awarded prizes in physics for uncovering the structure of atoms, which enabled the development and subsequent deployment of nuclear weapons. Similarly, artificial intelligence begins as fundamental research in computer science, yet its development poses a wide spectrum of societal risks, including misinformation, job displacement, and surveillance. (这是一个惊人的相似之处。上世纪,诺贝尔奖委员会因揭示原子结构而颁发物理学奖,这一发现促进了核武器的发展和随后的部署。同样地,人工智能起源于计算机科学的基础研究,但其发展带来了一系列广泛的社会风险,包括误导信息、就业替代和监控。)”可知,作者在文中暗示人工智能的发展可能会导致无法预见的全球危机。故选B项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Looking back, Rotblat explained “You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around. ” (回顾过去,罗特布拉特解释说:“你以某种方式参与其中,却忘记了自己是一个人。这变成了一种瘾,你只是为了制造一种小玩意儿而继续下去,而没有思考其后果。然后,在做完之后,你为自己制造它找到了一些理由。而不是反过来。”)”以及后文“Fortunately, now, as then, there are thoughtful, grounded individuals who stand out in the development of AI. Ed Newton-Rex resigned last year from his position leading the music team at Stability AI, over the company's insistence on creating generative. (幸运的是,现在和那时一样,有一些有思想、脚踏实地的人在AI的发展中脱颖而出。去年,艾德·牛顿-雷克斯因公司坚持在未支付版权使用费的情况下使用版权数据训练生成式AI模型,而辞去了他在Stability AI领导音乐团队的职。位)”可知,Rotblat的话精准描述了当今AI研究中的“ethos”。根据上下文,这种“ethos”指科学家在技术开发中过度追求成果而忽视后果的倾向,即一种行业内的普遍风气或精神,和C项意思相近。故选C项。
D
In 1979, Archie Cochrane published an essay criticizing his fellow doctors. “It is surely a great criticism of our profession,” he wrote, “that we have not organized a critical summary, by specialty or subspecialty, adapted periodically, of all relevant randomized controlled trials. ” The idea of “organizing a critical summary” may not seem a groundbreaking concept, yet Cochrane had struck at the heart of the matter.
The basic building block of evidence in medicine is the randomized trial, as Cochrane understood. But some trials are flawed, others may have vanished from the academic record, unpublished because they didn’t yield the hoped-for results. Even when trials are reported, the most robust evidence comes from synthesizing them. Proper synthesis can turn inconclusive trials into a conclusive result, yet to turn those trials into a structured body of knowledge takes work.
In 1993, Sir Iain Chalmers founded Cochrane, a non-profit now listing over 9, 000 systematic reviews. But in fields like education or policing, the picture is less rosy. Education is arguably of comparable importance to health for any government. Yet, the UK government spends 18 times as much on research into health than it does on research into education - or, to put it another way, education research is underfunded by 10 percent.
If anything, that paints too optimistic a picture of research into social policy, because other countries spend even less. And, perhaps, education research is probably the best of the rest when it comes to research funding. The Campbell Collaboration, which aims to do for social policy what Cochrane does for medicine, boasts just 231 systematic reviews - reflecting that social policy research enjoys a fraction of the money and attention lavished on medicine.
More than a lack of spending, there’s a reluctance to support the infrastructure of systematic reviews, or to fund their updates into “living evidence reviews”. Take the 3ie (International Initiative for Impact Evaluation), admired for its Development Evidence Portal, which struggles for steady funding. The portal could run for a year at less cost than a typical study evaluating its effectiveness, yet “public goods tend by their nature to be underfunded.”
On the bright side, more than f50mn of funding for evidence synthesis was recently announced. This modest funding could significantly contribute to building an “evidence bank” for policymakers.
Systematic reviews bridge the gap between researchers and policymakers. Researchers focus on specific interventions, while policymakers address broader problems. By synthesizing relevant research, systematic reviews can answer policymaker questions. Furthermore, evidence synthesis highlights “ known unknowns” - gaps in research that can be filled through targeted funding, rather than more studies of familiar topics.
As Eleanor Chelimsky, one of the 20th century’s great policy evaluators explained, “I hoped that synthesis could dramatize, for our legislative users, not only what was, in fact, known, but also what was not known.”
Dramatizing our ignorance is one of the most valuable things an evidence review can do.
31. What was Archie Cochrane’s major concern?
A. Organizing medical summaries was seen as unworthy.
B. Doctors failed to put medical trials into summaries.
C. The medical profession received widespread criticism.
D. Medical trials were too flawed to be published.
32. What be inferred from the passage?
A. Education should be the top priority in research funding.
B. Social policy research funding has increased significantly.
C. Systematic reviews help make research funding more focused.
D. The 3ie portal was underfunded due to poor effectiveness evaluation.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards “synthesis dramatizing the unknown”?
A. Torn between. B. Radically oppose.
C. Cautious optimism. D. Enthusiastic approval.
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the article?
A. The Downfall of Systematic Reviews: Why They’re Outdated
B. Rethinking Systematic Reviews: A Call for Broader Application
C. Uncovering the Untold Story: The Importance of Evidence Synthesis
D. From Criticism to Collaboration: The Evolution of Evidence Synthesis

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Admittedly, complex writing that uses rich vocabulary and vivid figurative language can wow readers. But it isn’t the only mark of a good writer. Another skill that’s of equal importance is the ability to convey ideas in plain language. ___35___ To write in plain language, there are some general guidelines for you to follow.
___36___ The only details they include are those necessary for the reader to understand the sentences’ meaning. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line.” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.
Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. ___37___ But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about.
Plain language is more than word choices, though. ___38___ This can be achieved in the following ways. For example, use clear headers for each section and keep paragraphs focused on one idea each. Make the relationships between ideas and sentences clear with transition words. Write directly to your reader. Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity.
It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. ___39___
A. That is because they know what it means.
B. Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.
C. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.
D. One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible.
E. It involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure.
F. This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language.
G. Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices.
【答案】35. E 36. D 37. A 38. C 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了使用通俗易懂的语言写作时需要遵循一些通用的指导原则。
【35题详解】
根据前文“But it isn’t the only mark of a good writer. Another skill that’s of equal importance is the ability to convey ideas in plain language.(另一个同样重要的技能是用通俗易懂的语言表达想法的能力)”以及下文“To write in plain language, there are some general guidelines for you to follow.(要用通俗易懂的语言写作,有一些一般的指导方针供你遵循)”可知,前文提到一种能力,后文是提出一些知道方法,所以空处应是过渡句, E项“It involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure.(它包括使用结构简单的直接易懂的语言)”承接上文内容,为对上文内容的具体解释,同时引起下文,符合文意。故选E项。
【36题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“The only details they include are those necessary for the reader to understand the sentences’ meaning. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line.” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.(它们只包括读者理解句子意义所必需的细节。例如,“请在黄线后面等候”的标志。站台上的标志包括“黄色”,以便乘客知道该站在哪里)”可知,提到只包括那些读者理解句子意义所必需的细节,也就是句子要简洁。所以D项“One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible.(简洁写作的一个关键方面是确保句子尽可能短)”符合本段主题,为本段中心句。故选D项。。
【37题详解】
根据前文“If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues.(如果您从事IT工作,那么您可以轻松地与同事使用“latency”这个词)”以及后文“But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about.(但是当你和一个没有IT背景的人说话时,你可以用“slow”来确保他们知道你在说什么)”可知,A项“That is because they know what it means.(那是因为他们知道这意味着什么)”是对前文的解释,并和后文构成转折关系。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Plain language is more than word choices, though.(然而,简单的语言不仅仅是词语的选择)”以及后文“This can be achieved in the following ways. For example, use clear headers for each section and keep paragraphs focused on one idea each. Make the relationships between ideas and sentences clear with transition words. Write directly to your reader. Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity.(这可以通过以下方式实现。例如,每个部分使用清晰的标题,每个段落专注于一个观点。用过渡词使观点和句子之间的关系清晰。直接写给你的读者。此外,尽可能使用主动语态来提高清晰度)”可知,本段讲述简单的语言除了词语的选择还要有清晰度,所以C项“It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.(它还包括组织写作,优先考虑清晰)”符合本段主题,引出下文内容。故选C项。
【39题详解】
设空位于段尾,是对前文的总结,根据前文“It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence.(重要的是要注意,并不是所有关于普通写作的指导方针都适用于每一篇文章。最终目标是创建可访问且易于理解的内容。通过使用通俗易懂的语言,你表现出对读者时间和智慧的尊重)”可知,本段主要讲述创建可访问且易于理解的内容,表现出对读者时间和智慧的尊重。所以B项“Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.(因此,它与他们发展了积极的关系)”是对前文的总结,和前文构成因果关系,符合文意。故选B项。
第三部分:书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;第40、41小题各2分,第42小题3分,第43小题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Plastic is everywhere but it’s not great for our health or the planet. In the past, a typical box from Amazon arrived packed with plastic air pillows made from flexible plastic film. When plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life.
In studies of 80 marine species that died after ingesting a variety of plastic debris flexible plastic proved to be the deadliest kind. Now Amazon announced that by October 2024, it had removed all plastic air pillows from its delivery packaging. “We want to make sure the final package is easy to recycle at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging.
To make the switch, the company had to make sure that a replacement would work as well as the plastic version. It actually turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. Amazon worked with suppliers to find a lightweight, 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery, since more packages can fit in a truck.
It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution flooding into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e-commerce company has made plastic air pillows history globally is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement
Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during shipping and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a cost savings to us.”
40. Where does plastic film often go in the end?
_____________________________________________________________
41. How does the paper filler perform better than the plastic version?
_____________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> The plastic version is cheaper than the paper version, so Amazon must save money to afford the new system.
_____________________________________________________________
43. What benefit(s) have you got from one of your plastic reduction efforts? (In about 40 words)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】40. It often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans.
41. It reduces the number of damaged packages, is easier to wrap around objects to protect them, and takes up less space.
42. The plastic version is cheaper than the paper version, so Amazon must save money to afford the new system.
According to the passage, the new system actually saves the company money, not the other way around.
43. By using reusable cloth bags instead of plastic ones, I reduce waste and save money. It also helps protect marine life, as fewer plastic bags end up in oceans.
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了亚马逊公司决定在其快递包装中去除塑料气泡膜,转而使用100%回收的轻质纸张作为填充物,以减少塑料污染对海洋生态的破坏。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第一段“When plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life.(当塑料薄膜被扔掉时,它通常会被扔进垃圾填埋场或进入包括海洋在内的环境中,在那里它会伤害和杀死海洋生物)”可知,塑料薄膜最终通常会进入垃圾填埋场或环境(包括海洋)。故回答:It often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第三段“It actually turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. Amazon worked with suppliers to find a lightweight, 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas-or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans-to make a delivery, since more packages can fit in a truck.(结果证明它的性能更好。在运输中损坏的包裹数量减少了。亚马逊与供应商合作,找到了一种重量轻、100%可回收的纸,更容易包裹在物体上以保护它。纸张也占用更少的空间,所以现在更多的东西可以放在一个更小的盒子里。这意味着在运送货物时使用更少的汽油或电力(就该公司的电动货车而言),因为一辆卡车可以装下更多的包裹)”可知,纸质填充物比塑料版本表现得更好的地方在于它减少了运输过程中损坏的包裹数量,更容易包裹物品以保护它们,并且占用的空间更少。故回答:It reduces the number of damaged packages, is easier to wrap around objects to protect them, and takes up less space.
【42题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据最后一段“Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during shipping and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a cost savings to us.”(林德纳说,塑料很便宜,但新系统为公司节省了资金,因为在运输过程中,某些东西损坏和需要更换的风险降低了。“因此,我们可以更安全、更少损坏地运送包裹,这为我们节省了成本。”)”可知,陈述中“so Amazon must save money to afford the new system(所以亚马逊必须省钱才能买得起新系统)”是错误的,因为新系统实际上为公司节省了资金,而不是公司需要省钱来购买新系统。故回答:The plastic version is cheaper than the paper version, so Amazon must save money to afford the new system. According to the passage, the new system actually saves the company money, not the other way around.
【43题详解】
开放性问题。言之有理即可,注意字数。例如:通过使用可重复使用的布袋而不是塑料袋,我减少了浪费,节省了钱。这也有助于保护海洋生物,因为更少的塑料袋最终进入海洋。故回答:By using reusable cloth bags instead of plastic ones, I reduce waste and save money. It also helps protect marine life, as fewer plastic bags end up in oceans.

Fish Cheeks
By Amy Tan 1987
I fell in love with the minister’s son the winter I turned fourteen. He was not Chinese, but as white as Mary in the manger. For Christmas, I prayed for this blond-haired boy, Robert, and a slim new American nose.
When I found out that my parents had invited the minister’s family over for Christmas Eve dinner, I cried. What would Robert think of our shabby Chinese Christmas? What would he think of our noisy Chinese relatives who lacked proper American manners? What terrible disappointment would he feel upon seeing not a roasted turkey and sweet potatoes but Chinese food?
On Christmas Eve I saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. The kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: A slimy (黏糊糊的) rock cod (浔鳕鱼) with bulging eyes, tofu that looked like stacked white sponges, a bowl soaking dried fungus back to life, and squid with crisscrossed knife markings.
And then they arrived — the minister’s family and all my relatives in a clamor of doorbells and rumpled Christmas packages. Robert grunted hello, and I pretended he was not worthy of existence. Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and his family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert grimaced (脸部扭曲). Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. “Amy, your favorite,” he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.
At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and belched (打嗝) loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. “It’s a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied,” explained my father to our astonished guests. Robert was looking down at his plate with a reddened face. The minister managed to muster up a quiet burp. I was stunned into silence for the rest of the night.
After everyone had gone, my mother said to me, “You want to be the same as American girls on the outside.” She handed me an early gift. It was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “But inside you must always be Chinese. You must be proud you are different. Your only shame is to have shame.”
And even though I didn’t agree with her then, I knew that she understood how much I had suffered during the evening’s dinner. It wasn’t until many years later — long after I had gotten over my crush on Robert — that I was able to fully appreciate her lesson and the true purpose behind our particular menu. For Christmas Eve that year, she had chosen all my favorite foods.

Unless we pursue AI carefully, the Nobel Committee will one day give a Peace Prize to the people cleaning up its terrible consequences, just as it did with nuclear physics. This year’s Nobel Prizes celebrate both works relating to artificial intelligence and efforts by the group Nihon Hidankyo to end the nuclear war.
It was a striking parallel. Last century, the Nobel Committees awarded prizes in physics for uncovering the structure of atoms, which enabled the development and subsequent deployment of nuclear weapons. Similarly, artificial intelligence begins as fundamental research in computer science, yet its development poses a wide spectrum of societal risks, including misinformation, job displacement, and surveillance.
About 80 years ago, hundreds of top scientists joined the Manhattan Project in a race to build an atomic weapon before the Nazis did. Yet after Germany surrendered, the project continued and only one scientist, Joseph Rotblat, left the project. After the war he returned to physics, focusing on medical uses of radiation, and became a leader in the nuclear antiproliferation movement.
Looking back, Rotblat explained “You get yourself involved in a certain way and forget you are a human being. It becomes an addiction, and you just go on for the sake of producing a gadget without thinking about the consequences. And then, having done this, you find some justification for having produced it. Not the other way around. ”
Though written decades ago, these words are a frighteningly accurate description of the prevailing ethos in AI research today. Fortunately, now, as then, there are thoughtful, grounded individuals who stand out in the development of AI. Ed Newton-Rex resigned last year from his position leading the music team at Stability AI, over the company’s insistence on creating generative.
AI models trained on copyrighted data without paying for that use. This year, Suchir Balaji resigned as a researcher at OpenAI over similar concerns. At a 2018 internal meeting, Meredith Whittaker voiced concerns about a project to develop AI to power military drone targeting and surveillance and eventually succeeded in pressuring Google to drop it.
When the Nobel Prize Committees choose which people among those working on AI to award, they set a powerful incentive for the AI researchers of today and tomorrow. We can start by looking past those focused on the rapid development of capabilities, instead following the lead of those who insist on engaging with the context of their work and who have the capacity not only to evaluate but also to respond to changing circumstances. As the nuclear era teaches us, right now is the time to carefully evaluate what applications of scientific discovery and whom among today's scientists reflect the values not of the world in which we currently live but the one which we hope to inhabit.
28. The author quotes Joseph Rotblat mainly to _______.
A. challenge an assumption B. suggest an alternative
C. make a comparison D. illustrate a point
29. It is implied in the passage that _______.
A. collaboration between different parties is essential for responsible AI development
B. the development of AI could potentially lead to unforeseen global crises
C. AI researchers have lost control of their own creations
D. the Nobel Prize should stop awarding AI researchers
30. What does the word “ethos” underlined in paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Challenge B. Motivation C. Spirit D. Force
D
In 1979, Archie Cochrane published an essay criticizing his fellow doctors. “It is surely a great criticism of our profession,” he wrote, “that we have not organized a critical summary, by specialty or subspecialty, adapted periodically, of all relevant randomized controlled trials. ” The idea of “organizing a critical summary” may not seem a groundbreaking concept, yet Cochrane had struck at the heart of the matter.
The basic building block of evidence in medicine is the randomized trial, as Cochrane understood. But some trials are flawed, others may have vanished from the academic record, unpublished because they didn’t yield the hoped-for results. Even when trials are reported, the most robust evidence comes from synthesizing them. Proper synthesis can turn inconclusive trials into a conclusive result, yet to turn those trials into a structured body of knowledge takes work.
In 1993, Sir Iain Chalmers founded Cochrane, a non-profit now listing over 9, 000 systematic reviews. But in fields like education or policing, the picture is less rosy. Education is arguably of comparable importance to health for any government. Yet, the UK government spends 18 times as much on research into health than it does on research into education - or, to put it another way, education research is underfunded by 10 percent.
If anything, that paints too optimistic a picture of research into social policy, because other countries spend even less. And, perhaps, education research is probably the best of the rest when it comes to research funding. The Campbell Collaboration, which aims to do for social policy what Cochrane does for medicine, boasts just 231 systematic reviews - reflecting that social policy research enjoys a fraction of the money and attention lavished on medicine.
More than a lack of spending, there’s a reluctance to support the infrastructure of systematic reviews, or to fund their updates into “living evidence reviews”. Take the 3ie (International Initiative for Impact Evaluation), admired for its Development Evidence Portal, which struggles for steady funding. The portal could run for a year at less cost than a typical study evaluating its effectiveness, yet “public goods tend by their nature to be underfunded.”
On the bright side, more than f50mn of funding for evidence synthesis was recently announced. This modest funding could significantly contribute to building an “evidence bank” for policymakers.
Systematic reviews bridge the gap between researchers and policymakers. Researchers focus on specific interventions, while policymakers address broader problems. By synthesizing relevant research, systematic reviews can answer policymaker questions. Furthermore, evidence synthesis highlights “ known unknowns” - gaps in research that can be filled through targeted funding, rather than more studies of familiar topics.
As Eleanor Chelimsky, one of the 20th century’s great policy evaluators explained, “I hoped that synthesis could dramatize, for our legislative users, not only what was, in fact, known, but also what was not known.”
Dramatizing our ignorance is one of the most valuable things an evidence review can do.
31. What was Archie Cochrane’s major concern?
A. Organizing medical summaries was seen as unworthy.
B. Doctors failed to put medical trials into summaries.
C. The medical profession received widespread criticism.
D. Medical trials were too flawed to be published.
32. What be inferred from the passage?
A. Education should be the top priority in research funding.
B. Social policy research funding has increased significantly.
C. Systematic reviews help make research funding more focused.
D. The 3ie portal was underfunded due to poor effectiveness evaluation.
33. What’s the author’s attitude towards “synthesis dramatizing the unknown”?
A. Torn between. B. Radically oppose.
C. Cautious optimism. D. Enthusiastic approval.
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the article?
A. The Downfall of Systematic Reviews: Why They’re Outdated
B. Rethinking Systematic Reviews: A Call for Broader Application
C. Uncovering the Untold Story: The Importance of Evidence Synthesis

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Admittedly, complex writing that uses rich vocabulary and vivid figurative language can wow readers. But it isn’t the only mark of a good writer. Another skill that’s of equal importance is the ability to convey ideas in plain language. ___35___ To write in plain language, there are some general guidelines for you to follow.
___36___ The only details they include are those necessary for the reader to understand the sentences’ meaning. For example the sign “Wait behind the yellow line.” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.
Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. ___37___ But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about.
Plain language is more than word choices, though. ___38___ This can be achieved in the following ways. For example, use clear headers for each section and keep paragraphs focused on one idea each. Make the relationships between ideas and sentences clear with transition words. Write directly to your reader. Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity.
It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. ___39___
A. That is because they know what it means.
B. Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.
C. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.
D. One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible.
E It involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure.
F. This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language.
G. Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Plastic is everywhere, but it’s not great for our health or the planet. In the past, a typical box from Amazon arrived packed with plastic air pillows made from flexible plastic film. When plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life.
In studies of 80 marine species that died after ingesting a variety of plastic debris, flexible plastic proved to be the deadliest kind. Now Amazon announced that by October 2024, it had removed all plastic air pillows from its delivery packaging. “We want to make sure the final package is easy to recycle at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging.
To make the switch, the company had to make sure that a replacement would work as well as the plastic version. It actually turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. Amazon worked with suppliers to find a lightweight, 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. The paper also takes up less space, so now more items fit in a smaller box. That translates to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery, since more packages can fit in a truck.
It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution flooding into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e-commerce company has made plastic air pillows history globally is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement
Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during shipping and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a cost savings to us.”
40. Where does plastic film often go in the end?
_____________________________________________________________
41. How does the paper filler perform better than the plastic version?
_____________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
> The plastic version is cheaper than the paper version, so Amazon must save money to afford the new system.
_____________________________________________________________
43. What benefit(s) have you got from one of your plastic reduction efforts? (In about 40 words)
