Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery.
My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.
The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.
To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.
4. What did the author do after hanging up the phone?
A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket.
C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty.
5. Why did the author showcase her strength?
A To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life.
C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities. D. To give herself an advantage in promotion.
6. How did some people help the author?
A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is a must.
C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her.
7. What does the author want to convey in the text?
A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow.
C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development.

You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer. It’s dogs. That’s the conclusion of an international group of researchers, who found that dogs have twice as many neurons (神经元) as cats. Neurons are cells that deal with information. And so, the more neurons an animal has, the better its information processing capability, these scientists say.
The study was carried out by researchers from six universities in the US Brazil, Denmark and South Africa. It’s going to be published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. The research was done in the lab of Suzana Herculano-Houzel, an associate professor of psychology and biological sciences at Vanderbilt University.
Until recently, scientists interested in comparing intelligence across species were limited to using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope.
This is what they found when they looked at the cerebral cortex of cats and dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes information. A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.
When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons. “So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex,” she said. “And this means that dogs can do more thinking things than cats.”
8. What does the author imply about the old debate?
A. It was surprising. B. It was meaningless.
C. It was easily solved. D. It had no clear result.
9. Why did the researchers turn some brain matter into a soup?
A. To wake up neurons. B. To study brain growth.
C. To see neurons clearly. D. To study cortex better.
10. What affects the neuron numbers of dogs?
A. Practice. B. Weights. C. Thinking. D. Lifestyles.
11. What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph?
A. reasonable. B. important. C. surprising. D. fearless.
D
Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work. These drugs, developed at Mount Sinai, may hold promise for more than 500 million people with diabetes in the world. The results of this study were published this month in Cell Reports Medicine.
Diabetes develops when cells known as beta cells become unable to produce insulin, a chemical substance essential to regulating blood sugar levels. While great progress has been made toward discovering a long-term treatment, none are appliable for millions of patients across the world.
For more than 15 years, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have worked tirelessly to find a solution to cure diabetes by identifying a drug that could make human beta cells regenerate. In 2015, Mount Sinai researchers discovered the first such drug, called harmine. Harmine is a member of a class of drugs called DYRK1A inhibitors (抑制剂). Finally, in July 2024, they showed that harmine alone increases human beta cell mass by 300 percent, and if a GLP-1RA is added, by 700 percent.
A key question has been how harmine causes beta cells to regenerate. In the newest study, the research team reports that the new, regenerated beta cells may be coming from an unexpected source: a second pancreatic cell type called alpha cells. Since alpha cells are abundant in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, they may serve as a source for new beta cells in both common types of diabetes.
“This may mean that people with all forms of diabetes have a large potential ‘container’ for future beta cells, just waiting to be activated by drugs like harmine.” said Esra Karakose, corresponding author of the study. “A simple pill, perhaps together with a GLP-1RA like semaglutide, is affordable and accessible to the millions of people with diabetes,” said Dr. Stewart, another researcher.
12. What can be inferred from drugs developed at Mount Sinai?
A. They strengthen the effects of each beta cell. B. They have yet to appear in relevant journals.
C. They are taken by over 500 million patients. D. They help regulate the quantity of beta cell.
13. What do we know about harmine?
A. It belongs to one part of DYRK1A. B. It stops the formation of DYRK1A.
C. It is the first drug to cure diabetes. D. It is useless without a GLP-1RA.
14. How does harmine cause beta cells to regenerate?
A. By transforming alpha cells into beta cells. B. By enabling existing beta cells to reproduce.
C. By pushing more organs to release beta cells. D. By creating a safe environment for beta cells.
15. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Researchers gain a new insight into diabetes. B. Researchers spare no efforts to cure diabetes.
C. Researchers move closer to a cure for diabetes. D. Researchers reveal a “container” for beta cells.

Will AI Replace Teachers?
The AI teacher is also known as the mechanical teacher. ___16___ It’s a computer or machine that can teach a student according to the level it’s programmed to teach.
While the thought of a reliable computer teaching your child might seem promising, an AI cannot adapt its teaching to its student during mid-lesson or read its student’s emotions, as a human teacher can. ___17___ It also cannot inspire its students as a human teacher can. The biggest benefit of the human teacher is that he or she gives students human connections they need.
There are some who believe that teachers will be completely replaced by robots by the year 2027. Human teachers do carry with them some disadvantages. Some teachers can be of poor character. Others can have a compromising character or not be as knowledgeable about particular subjects as they should be. ___18___
If you ask anyone the top qualities of a good teacher, an AI cannot meet these standards. They include friendly attitude, listening skills, respectful attitude, strong work ethic, patience, discipline skills, and so forth. AI cannot replace teachers. They cannot give a child what he or she needs. ___19___
___20___ It makes the human teacher’s job easier and helps her to be more efficient. This added efficiency allows him or her the time he or she needs to work more one-on-one with students to provide more adaptability and understanding for them. The two things are what an AI teacher would struggle to provide.
A. It is exactly what it sounds like.
B. However, this does not mean that AI is not necessary.
C. Frankly speaking, students have their own disadvantages, too.
D. Students long for the student-teacher bond, cooperation, and love.
E. Luckily, the good news is that AI shows more respect for teachers.
F. These drawbacks can be corrected, though, through proper monitoring.
G. It fails to simplify problems students have unless it’s programmed to do so.

When I wore an item seeming normal to a girl but was considered too ____24____ for my classmates — a pair of bright purple cargo pants (工装裤), people ____25____ me in the hall. ____26____, I never wore them again after ____27____ them into the back of my closet.
Now, I don’t ____28____ as much; I like wearing a bit of everything — colorful clothes, preppy style, Y2K. Maybe it’s because I’m in college now, and college students have more significant ____29____ to worry about.
Another thing I’ve started wearing is ____30____ for my favorite shows and musical artists. I’ll never forget I wore a sweatshirt of my favorite K-pop group and that my ____31____ made fun of me again by ____32____ mispronouncing the members’ names.
What we wear tells a story about who we are. When I go outside wearing what I like to wear, I feel ____33____ and more like myself. I no longer feel like I’m wearing clothes that will make me blend in with the ____34____. Going with the flow contributes to no ____35____ anyway.

In recent years, there has been much complaining about the “waning (减少) of nianwei” given the changes ____36____ (see) in the way people celebrated the Spring Festival. For instance, many people sent New Year’s ____37____ (greet) to their relatives through social media rather than visiting them in person and instead went to cinemas or played online games for fun ____38____ preference to going to dinner parties or playing mahjong with their old pals.
____39____ reduced number of Spring Festival travelers this year increased this concern. The logic is simple: the smaller the number of homegoers, the ____40____ (light) the feel of nianwei.
One fact, ____41____, contradicts that concern. Since the beginning of the Chunyun period, many netizens have posted pictures on social media showing the food their parents or other relatives ____42____ (send) them.

So long as that feeling does not wane, never would nianwei.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was always the kind of person who tried hard to please everyone around me. Whether it was my classmates, teachers, or family members, I went out of my way to make them happy. I would agree to do things I didn’t really want to do, like lending my favorite books that I was still reading to classmates who asked, or sacrificing my own study time to help others with their homework.
One day, my classmate Lily asked me to help her with a difficult math project. The project was due in a week, and it was going to take up a lot of my time. I had my own study plans and a big English test was around the corner, but I couldn’t bring myself to say no. So, I started spending hours every day helping Lily. We worked on the math problems, did research, and prepared the presentation together.
As the days passed, I was getting more and more stressed. I was constantly tired from staying up late to study for my English test after helping Lily. On the day of the English test, I was so sleepy and unfocused that I made a lot of silly mistakes. When the results came out, I got a much lower grade than I had expected. I was devastated (崩溃的).
Lily, on the other hand, got a great grade on the math project and was very happy. She thanked me, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, I felt a sense of resentment (怨恨) building up inside me. I realized that I had put my own needs aside for so long to please others, and it had finally had a negative effect on me.
That evening, I sat in my room, thinking about what had happened. I was tired of always being the one to give in and sacrifice for others. I decided that things had to change.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
The next day at school another classmate, Tom, came to me with a request.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After firmly saying no to Tom, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and relief.

My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.
The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support.
To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on.

You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer. It’s dogs. That’s the conclusion of an international group of researchers, who found that dogs have twice as many neurons (神经元) as cats. Neurons are cells that deal with information. And so, the more neurons an animal has, the better its information processing capability, these scientists say.
The study was carried out by researchers from six universities in the US, Brazil, Denmark and South Africa. It’s going to be published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. The research was done in the lab of Suzana Herculano-Houzel, an associate professor of psychology and biological sciences at Vanderbilt University.
Until recently, scientists interested in comparing intelligence across species were limited to using brain size as a sign. “In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope.
This is what they found when they looked at the cerebral cortex of cats and dogs. The cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that processes information. A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.
When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons. “So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex,” she said. “And this means that dogs can do more thinking things than cats.”
8. What does the author imply about the old debate?
A. It was surprising. B. It was meaningless.
C. It was easily solved. D. It had no clear result.
9. Why did the researchers turn some brain matter into a soup?
A. To wake up neurons. B. To study brain growth.
C. To see neurons clearly. D. To study cortex better.
10. What affects the neuron numbers of dogs?
A. Practice. B. Weights. C. Thinking. D. Lifestyles.
11. What does the underlined word mean in the last paragraph?
A. reasonable. B. important. C. surprising. D. fearless.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,研究表明狗比猫聪明,因为狗的神经元更多。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“You know that old debate about whether dogs are smarter than cats? Well, science now has a definite answer.(你知道那个关于狗是否比猫聪明的古老的争论吗?现在,科学有了明确的答案)”可推知,以前这个争论是没有明确答案的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““In 2005, my lab came up with a very simple, quick and inexpensive way to count the cells in brains and brain parts,” Herculano-Houzel said. What the researchers did was take some brain matter and basically turn it into a soup. This freed up the cell nuclei (细胞核) so that the scientists could count them directly under a microscope.(“2005年,我的实验室提出了一种非常简单、快速且经济的方法来计算大脑及大脑各部分中的细胞数量,”Herculano-Houzel说道。研究人员所做的就是取一些脑组织,将其基本转化为一种“汤”。这一过程释放了细胞核,从而使科学家能够直接在显微镜下对它们进行计数)”可知,研究人员把一些大脑物质变成“汤”是为了让细胞核分离出来,从而能在显微镜下直接数细胞核数量,也就是为了更清楚地观察神经元。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.(一只15磅重的混合品种狗的脂肪有4.29亿)”和最后一段中“When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons.(当他们观察一只64磅重的金毛猎犬时,这个数字甚至更高:6.27亿个神经元。)”可知,重量影响狗的神经元数量。故选B项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词句前文“A cat’s cerebral cortex has 250 million neurons. A 15-pound mixed-breed (混合种) dog’s has 429 million.(猫的大脑皮层有2.5亿个神经元,而一只15磅重的混血狗的大脑皮层则有4.29亿个神经元)”以及“When they looked at a 64-pound golden retriever (猎犬), the number was even higher: 627 million neurons.(当他们观察一只64磅重的金毛猎犬时,这个数字甚至更高:6.27亿个神经元)”,可知,狗的神经元数量大约是猫的两倍,从而推知划线词句“So, it’s plausible to say that dogs have about twice as many neurons as cats in their cerebral cortex(所以,狗的大脑皮层中的神经元大约是猫的两倍的说法是plausible)”中划线词应为“合理的”意思,与A项同义。故选A项。

Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work. These drugs, developed at Mount Sinai, may hold promise for more than 500 million people with diabetes in the world. The results of this study were published this month in Cell Reports Medicine.
Diabetes develops when cells known as beta cells become unable to produce insulin, a chemical substance essential to regulating blood sugar levels. While great progress has been made toward discovering a long-term treatment, none are appliable for millions of patients across the world.
For more than 15 years, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have worked tirelessly to find a solution to cure diabetes by identifying a drug that could make human beta cells regenerate. In 2015, Mount Sinai researchers discovered the first such drug, called harmine. Harmine is a member of a class of drugs called DYRK1A inhibitors (抑制剂). Finally, in July 2024, they showed that harmine alone increases human beta cell mass by 300 percent, and if a GLP-1RA is added, by 700 percent.
A key question has been how harmine causes beta cells to regenerate. In the newest study, the research team reports that the new, regenerated beta cells may be coming from an unexpected source: a second pancreatic cell type called alpha cells. Since alpha cells are abundant in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, they may serve as a source for new beta cells in both common types of diabetes.
“This may mean that people with all forms of diabetes have a large potential ‘container’ for future beta cells, just waiting to be activated by drugs like harmine.” said Esra Karakose, corresponding author of the study. “A simple pill, perhaps together with a GLP-1RA like semaglutide, is affordable and accessible to the millions of people with diabetes,” said Dr. Stewart, another researcher.
12. What can be inferred from drugs developed at Mount Sinai?
A. They strengthen the effects of each beta cell. B. They have yet to appear in relevant journals.
C. They are taken by over 500 million patients. D. They help regulate the quantity of beta cell.
13. What do we know about harmine?
A. It belongs to one part of DYRK1A. B. It stops the formation of DYRK1A.
C. It is the first drug to cure diabetes. D. It is useless without a GLP-1RA.
14. How does harmine cause beta cells to regenerate?
A. By transforming alpha cells into beta cells. B. By enabling existing beta cells to reproduce.
C. By pushing more organs to release beta cells. D. By creating a safe environment for beta cells.
15. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Researchers gain a new insight into diabetes. B. Researchers spare no efforts to cure diabetes.
C. Researchers move closer to a cure for diabetes. D. Researchers reveal a “container” for beta cells.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Harmine is a member of a class of drugs called DYRK1A inhibitors.( Harmine是一类被称为DYRK1A抑制剂的药物中的一员)”可知,harmine属于DYRK1A抑制剂,所以能够抑制DYRK1A的形成。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the newest study, the research team reports that the new, regenerated beta cells may be coming from an unexpected source: a second pancreatic cell type called alpha cells. Since alpha cells are abundant in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, they may serve as a source for new beta cells in both common types of diabetes.(在最新的研究中,研究小组报告说,新的再生细胞可能来自一个意想不到的来源:第二种胰腺细胞类型,称为α细胞。由于α细胞在1型和2型糖尿病患者中含量丰富,它们可能是这两种常见糖尿病中新β细胞的来源)”可知,α细胞可以转化成β细胞。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Diabetes (糖尿病) researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a new understanding of how human beta cell regenerative (再生的) drugs work. These drugs, developed at Mount Sinai, may hold promise for more than 500 million people with diabetes in the world.(西奈山伊坎医学院的糖尿病研究人员对人类β细胞再生药物的工作原理有了新的认识。这些在西奈山开发的药物可能为世界上5亿多糖尿病患者带来希望)”可知,结合文章主要说明了随着治疗糖尿病的新药Harmine问世,研究者在糖尿病治愈之路上又迈进了一步。C选项“研究人员离治愈糖尿病更近了一步”最符合文章标题。故选C。

Will AI Replace Teachers?
The AI teacher is also known as the mechanical teacher. ___16___ It’s a computer or machine that can teach a student according to the level it’s programmed to teach.
While the thought of a reliable computer teaching your child might seem promising, an AI cannot adapt its teaching to its student during mid-lesson or read its student’s emotions, as a human teacher can. ___17___ It also cannot inspire its students as a human teacher can. The biggest benefit of the human teacher is that he or she gives students human connections they need.
There are some who believe that teachers will be completely replaced by robots by the year 2027. Human teachers do carry with them some disadvantages. Some teachers can be of poor character. Others can have a compromising character or not be as knowledgeable about particular subjects as they should be. ___18___
If you ask anyone the top qualities of a good teacher, an AI cannot meet these standards. They include friendly attitude, listening skills, respectful attitude, strong work ethic, patience, discipline skills, and so forth. AI cannot replace teachers. They cannot give a child what he or she needs. ___19___
___20___ It makes the human teacher’s job easier and helps her to be more efficient. This added efficiency allows him or her the time he or she needs to work more one-on-one with students to provide more adaptability and understanding for them. The two things are what an AI teacher would struggle to provide.
A. It is exactly what it sounds like.
B. However, this does not mean that AI is not necessary.
C. Frankly speaking, students have their own disadvantages, too.
D. Students long for the student-teacher bond, cooperation, and love.
E. Luckily, the good news is that AI shows more respect for teachers.
F. These drawbacks can be corrected, though, through proper monitoring.
G. It fails to simplify problems students have unless it’s programmed to do so.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能是否会取代老师。
【16题详解】
上文“The AI teacher is also known as the mechanical teacher.(人工智能老师也被称为机械老师)”指出人工智能老师被称为机械老师,下文“It’s a computer or machine that can teach a student according to the level it’s programmed to teach.(这是一台计算机或机器,可以根据其编程的教学水平来教授学生)”解释了人工智能成为机械老师的原因,空处应该承上启下,指出将人工智能老师称为机械老师也没错,A项“它就是像它听起来那样。”符合,故选A。
【17题详解】
上文“While the thought of a reliable computer teaching your child might seem promising, an AI cannot adapt its teaching to its student during mid-lesson or read its student’s emotions, as a human teacher can(虽然让一台可靠的电脑教你的孩子听起来很有前途,但人工智能无法在上课过程中根据学生的情况调整教学,也无法像人类老师那样读懂的情绪。)”指出人工智能无法在上课过程中根据学生的情况调整教学,也无法像人类老师那样读懂的情绪,这是人工智能的缺陷,空处承接上文,也应是指出其缺陷,G项“它无法简化学生的问题,除非编程让它这样做。”符合语境,也会是在陈述人工智能的缺陷,故选G。
【18题详解】
上文“Human teachers do carry with them some disadvantages. Some teachers can be of poor character. Others can have a compromising character or not be as knowledgeable about particular subjects as they should be.(人类教师确实存在一些缺点。有些教师可能品行不良。另一些教师可能品行上有妥协,或者对某些科目的知识掌握不够。)”指出人类教师有缺点,下段“If you ask anyone the top qualities of a good teacher, an AI cannot meet these standards. They include friendly attitude, listening skills, respectful attitude, strong work ethic, patience, discipline skills, and so forth. AI cannot replace teachers. They cannot give a child what he or she needs.(如果你问任何人优秀教师的首要品质,人工智能是无法达到这些标准的。这些品质包括友好的态度、倾听的技巧、尊重、强烈的工作伦理、耐心、纪律技巧等等。人工智能无法取代教师。它们无法给予孩子他或她所需要的东西。)”指出人工智能无法取代老师,所以空处应该指出相比于人工智能,人类的这些缺点是可以纠正的,F项“但是,可以通过适当的监视来纠正这些缺点。”符合,承接上文,故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“AI cannot replace teachers. They cannot give a child what he or she needs.(人工智能无法取代教师。它们无法给予孩子他或她所需要的东西。)”指出人工智能无法给予孩子他或她所需要的东西,空处承接上文,指出其原因,D项“学生渴望学生教师纽带,合作和爱心。”符合,解释了人工智能不能取代教师的原因,故选D。
【20题详解】
下文“It makes the human teacher’s job easier and helps her to be more efficient. This added efficiency allows him or her the time he or she needs to work more one-on-one with students to provide more adaptability and understanding for them. The two things are what an AI teacher would struggle to provide.(它使人类教师的工作更加轻松,并帮助她更高效地工作。这种额外的效率使他或她有时间与学生进行更多的交流,为他们提供更多的适应性和理解。这两件事是人工智能教师难以提供的。)”指出了人工智能的好处,上段“AI cannot replace teachers. They cannot give a child what he or she needs.(人工智能无法取代教师。它们无法给予孩子他或她所需要的东西。)”指出人工只能无法取代老师,下文指出了人工智能的好处,这说明人工智能也是人类所需要的,B项“但是,这并不意味着人工智能不是必需的。”符合,故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国新年,看似新年的年味在逐渐减少,但实际上新年在网民的眼中依然很重要。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:近年来,由于人们庆祝春节的方式发生了变化,有很多人抱怨“年味正在减弱”。此处需要非谓语动词作定语,修饰名词change,change与see是被动关系,先于谓语动词发生,因此需要使用非谓语动词的过去分词形式。故填seen。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:例如,许多人通过社交媒体向亲戚致以新年祝福,而不是亲自拜访他们,而是去电影院或玩网络游戏,而不是和老朋友一起参加晚宴或打麻将。此处需要使用名词作sent的宾语,“greet”名词形式为“greeting”是可数名词,此处指“发送新年祝福”需使用复数形式。故填greetings。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:例如,许多人通过社交媒体向亲戚致以新年祝福,而不是亲自拜访他们,而是去电影院或玩网络游戏,而不是和老朋友一起参加晚宴或打麻将。此处需要使用介词in与名词preference搭配,构成固定短语“in preference to”意为“宁愿……”。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:今年春运人数的减少增加了这种担忧。此处需要冠词the置于reduced number之前,表“特指”的“今年下降的的春运人数”,单词位于句首,首字母大写。故填The。
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:逻辑很简单:回家的人越少,思念的感觉就越淡。此处需要形容词比较级,与the smaller构成固定结构“the +比较级,the +比较级”,意为“越…….,越……”,“light”比较级为“lighter”。故填lighter。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,有一个事实与这种担忧相矛盾。此处需要使用副词,根据“one fact”及“contradicts that concern.”可知,此处副词表达转折含义。故填however。
【42题详解】
考查过去完成时。句意:自春运开始以来,许多网友在社交媒体上发布了父母或其他亲戚送给他们的食物的照片。此处需要动词作谓语,句中“their parents or other relatives ____7___ them.”为定语从句,修饰先行词the food,这些food是父母在之前发送给他们的,即先于have posted发生,因此需使用过去完成时。故填had sent。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一些父母非常小心,他们把这些材料切成小块,连同姜、葱、洗净的香菜以及给孩子们做年夜饭的具体食谱一起运来。此处需要使用非谓语动词作目的状语,cook的逻辑主语their children与cook是主动关系吗,晚于句中谓语cut及shipped表示目的,因此需要使用非谓语动词的不定式主动形式。故填to cook。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这里的特色菜有“鱼饼”、糍粑和野莲藕,唤起了我对家乡的怀念,也唤起了我对故乡亲人的强烈思念。此处需要使用非谓语动词作状语,主语The specialties与非谓语之间是主动关系,且与谓语include同时发生,因此需要使用非谓语动词的现在分词形式。故填awakening。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这里的特色菜有“鱼饼”、糍粑和野莲藕,唤起了我对家乡的怀念,也唤起了我对故乡亲人的强烈思念。此处需要使用关系词引导定语从句,先行词为place,先行词在从句中作地点状语,因此需要使用关系副词where。故填where。

【答案】Dear Sam,
I’m Li Hua, the President of the Students’ Union. I am writing to bring up an issue regarding the activity room after the parties you host with students.
Recently, we have noticed that the room is left in a mess after the parties. Empty bottles and food waste are scattered everywhere, and the desks and chairs are in disorder. This not only makes it inconvenient for the next user but also poses a health risk.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was always the kind of person who tried hard to please everyone around me. Whether it was my classmates, teachers, or family members, I went out of my way to make them happy. I would agree to do things I didn’t really want to do, like lending my favorite books that I was still reading to classmates who asked, or sacrificing my own study time to help others with their homework.
One day, my classmate Lily asked me to help her with a difficult math project. The project was due in a week, and it was going to take up a lot of my time. I had my own study plans and a big English test was around the corner, but I couldn’t bring myself to say no. So, I started spending hours every day helping Lily. We worked on the math problems, did research, and prepared the presentation together.
As the days passed, I was getting more and more stressed. I was constantly tired from staying up late to study for my English test after helping Lily. On the day of the English test, I was so sleepy and unfocused that I made a lot of silly mistakes. When the results came out, I got a much lower grade than I had expected. I was devastated (崩溃的).
Lily, on the other hand, got a great grade on the math project and was very happy. She thanked me, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, I felt a sense of resentment (怨恨) building up inside me. I realized that I had put my own needs aside for so long to please others, and it had finally had a negative effect on me.
That evening, I sat in my room, thinking about what had happened. I was tired of always being the one to give in and sacrifice for others. I decided that things had to change.

The next day at school, another classmate, Tom, came to me with a request.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After firmly saying no to Tom, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and relief.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The next day at school, another classmate, Tom, came to me with a request. He wanted me to join his group for a history project, which would require a significant amount of my free time. Just a few days ago, I would have immediately said yes without hesitation. But this time, looking at Tom’s expectant face, I summoned up my courage and said, “Tom, I really appreciate you asking me, but I have my own study schedule and personal things to take care of. I’m afraid I can’t join your group.” Tom looked a bit surprised. He tried to persuade me, saying that my ideas would be really helpful for the project. However, I stood my ground and politely declined again.
Paragraph 2:
After firmly saying no to Tom, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and relief. I was nervous because I was worried that Tom might be angry with me or that other classmates would think I was selfish. But at the same time, there was a huge sense of relief. I realized that it was okay to prioritize my own needs. To my surprise, a few days later, Tom came to me again. He said that although he was a bit disappointed at first, he understood my decision. He even thanked me for being honest with him. From then on, I continued to be true to myself. I still helped others when I could, but I no longer over-committed.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,本文讲述的是作者之前一直是一个喜欢让别人开心的人,尽管自己不愿意,也会答应别人的请求,这种取悦别人的行为给作者带来了很大的困扰。最终作者决定改变自己,重新做回自己。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天在学校,另一个同学Tom向我提出了一个要求。”可知,第一段可描写Tom向作者寻求帮助,作者因前一天拒绝Lily求助已想好要拒绝Tom的请求,写作者拒绝Tom的请求,并说服Tom的理由。
②由第二段首句内容“在坚定地拒绝了汤姆之后,我感到一种奇怪的既紧张又宽慰的感觉。”可知,第二段可描写作者在拒绝别人之后的感觉以及作者的醒悟:应该把自己放在第一位。
2.续写线索:Tom寻求帮助——作者拒绝——Tom说服作者,遭受再次拒绝——作者感到紧张和宽慰——要优先考虑自己——Tom理解我——作者做真实的自己
