I was born into a family where my parents valued practicality over passion, yet from the moment I could hold a crayon, I knew I was different.
One summer, while exploring our old house, I discovered a hidden door to the attic (阁楼). Inside, I found a box of forgotten art supplies and a leather-bound sketchbook. From the name Lydia Sky on the front page, I knew it belonged to my grandmother, whom I never met. My parents, always tight-lipped about her, had described her as someone who chose a path of hardship and heartache. But as I leafed through her sketches, I saw a different story-a woman who had poured her soul and love into her art.
That summer, I spent every free moment there, transforming blank surfaces into paintings. When my parents discovered my secret, they tried to drive me back to a sensible life, but my passion for art only grew stronger. One stormy night, inspired by a flash of lightning, I decided to enter the city’s Celestial Art Contest, known for discovering young talents.
I poured my heart into a piece illustrating a world torn between darkness and light, with a girl standing at the crossroads, her gaze fixed on the rising sun. It mirrored my journey and struggle.
The day of the contest came. The judges approached my painting. Their eyes widened in amazement and tears filled my eyes as the head judge placed a gold star on my painting, calling it a master piece that went beyond age and experience.
My parents, who had unwillingly attended, stood frozen. For the first time, I saw a bit of pride in their eyes. That night, under a sky filled with stars, my mother whispered, “Luna, we were wrong. You have a gift. Follow your heart, just like your grandmother did.”
Years later, as I stood in my own studio, I realized the attic had been the catalyst (催化剂) for my dreams. It was a portal (门户) to my destiny, where I discovered the true colors of my soul and the legacy of my grandmother, Lydia Sky.

Known for their intelligence, crows, large black birds, have been observed using tools to catch insects, recognizing human faces, and employing clever strategies, such as dropping nuts on roads for cars to crack them open. These are clear signs of their cleverness.
A study led by Andreas Nieder at the University of Tübingen, published in 2020 in Science, brought some truly fascinating findings about crows. It revealed that these birds possess self-awareness or consciousness, which was supported by observations of crows inspecting hidden markings or adjusting their position while maintaining eye contact with the mirror reflection.
Nieder’s experiment presented that crows consciously evaluate problems, demonstrating a capability typically linked to the human cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). However, birds lack cerebral cortex. Instead, their thought processes take place in the gray and white matter layers of their brains.
The following study has further explored the capabilities of bird brains. It suggests that they, despite their small size, can support advanced cognition (认知). Bird brains contain around 1.5 billion neurons (神经元). These neurons are smaller and more tightly packed than those of monkeys. This unique arrangement enhances communication between neurons, effectively boosting crows’ intelligence similar to monkeys. This new understanding offers fresh viewpoints on the cognitive abilities and evolutionary development of birds. It’s quite interesting to think that if the dinosaurs that evolved into birds had similar brain structures, they might have been far more intelligent than we previously thought.
This research reshapes our understanding of intelligence evolution. It reveals that cerebral cortex is not essential for higher cognition, as other anatomical structures can achieve similar outcomes. Moreover, it implies either that consciousness evolved over 320 million years ago in a common ancestor of mammals and birds or that it arose independently in both groups. These findings broaden the range of intelligence evolution and suggest that intelligence on other planets may not be mammal or human-like, but could very well be birdlike.
8. Which of the following indicates crows’ self-awareness?
A. Identifying human faces. B. Gaining food by using tools.
C. Recognizing themselves in mirrors. D. Employing clever strategies to solve problems.
9. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. All birds have cerebral cortex except crows.
B. Birds’ intelligence relies on their large brains.
C. Crows possess more advanced cognitive abilities.
D. Intelligence can emerge through different brain structures.
10. Why does the author mention “intelligence on other planets” in the last paragraph?
A. To argue that humans are not the most intelligent beings.
B. To suggest that intelligence could appear in diverse forms.
C. To propose that birds might live elsewhere in the universe.
D. To show that intelligence beyond the earth is unlikely to exist.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Intelligence Evolved Only in Mammals
B. Birds Have Developed Cerebral Cortex
C. Crows Are Even Smarter than We Thought
D. Dinosaurs Could Have Been More Intelligent
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于乌鸦的智慧及其大脑结构的研究,揭示了鸟类具有高级认知能力,并探讨了智力进化的新观点
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It revealed that these birds possess self awareness or consciousness, which was supported by observations of crows inspecting hidden markings or adjusting their position while maintaining eye contact with the mirror reflection.(研究揭示这些鸟类拥有自我意识或意识,这一观点得到了相关观察的支持,即乌鸦会检查隐藏的标记,或者在与镜子中的影像保持眼神交流的同时调整自己的位置)”可知,乌鸦会与镜子中的影像保持眼神交流并调整自己位置,说明它们认出了镜子中的自己,这一行为表明了它们具有自我意识。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Nieder’s experiment presented that crows consciously evaluate problems, demonstrating a capability typically linked to the human cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). However, birds lack cerebral cortex. Instead, their thought processes take place in the gray and white matter layers of their brains.(尼德的实验表明,乌鸦能有意识地评估问题,展现出一种通常与人类大脑皮层相关的能力。然而,鸟类没有大脑皮层。相反,它们的思维过程发生在大脑的灰质和白质层中)”可知,乌鸦虽没有大脑皮层却能有类似人类大脑皮层的能力,即能有意识地评估问题,这暗示了智力可以通过不同的大脑结构产生。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These findings broaden the range of intelligence evolution and suggest that intelligence on other planets may not be mammal or human like, but could very well be birdlike.(这些发现拓宽了智力进化的范围,并表明其他行星上的智力可能不像哺乳动物或人类,而很可能像鸟类)”可知,作者提到“其他行星上的智力”是为了表明智力可能以多种不同的形式出现。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Known for their intelligence, crows, large black birds, have been observed using tools to catch insects, recognizing human faces, and employing clever strategies, such as dropping nuts on roads for cars to crack them open. These are clear signs of their cleverness.(以聪明著称的乌鸦是一种大型黑色鸟类,人们观察到它们会使用工具捕捉昆虫、识别人类面孔,还会运用巧妙的策略,比如把坚果扔到马路上让汽车压碎)”和第二段中“It revealed that these birds possess self awareness or consciousness(研究揭示这些鸟类拥有自我意识或意识)”等内容可知,文章围绕乌鸦展开,介绍了乌鸦具有超出人们以往认知的聪明表现以及其大脑结构与智力的关系等。C项“Crows Are Even Smarter than We Thought (乌鸦比我们想象的更聪明)”能概括文章主旨,适合做标题。故选C项。

The growing digital divide, the gap between those with access to advanced technological tools and those without, has increasingly become a main point of discussions. In today’s digital world, this widening disparity leads to significant disadvantages for underserved communities, especially in terms of educational opportunities.
While some argue that the rise of online learning platforms has popularized education by offering a great amount of resources to anyone with an Internet connection others believe this expansion often overlooks the fundamental barriers that prevent many people from engaging with these technologies. The digital divide is not just about the availability of online platforms; it also concerns access to reliable Internet, appropriate devices, and technical support, all of which are essential for effective learning.
As a result, students in low-income areas, particularly those in rural or underdeveloped regions, find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. They face challenges such as difficulties in accessing learning materials, participating in virtual classrooms, and even developing basic technological skills. These barriers not only block their academic progress but also limit their future opportunities in an increasingly digital economy.
Although some view the digital divide as a temporary issue that can be solved through hardware improvements and increased Internet accessibility, the problem is more complex. Without targeted efforts to address both the availability of technology and the development of essential digital skills, the gap is likely to continue. Ensuring equitable access to both the tools and the knowledge needed to use them effectively is crucial to bridging this divide and promoting fairness in education.
The digital divide presents a significant challenge to educational equity. Addressing it requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond simply increasing Internet access, focusing also on building the necessary facilities and skills to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, can achieve success in the digital age.
12. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Difference. B. Difficulty. C. Disadvantage. D. Distribution.
13. What does the author think causes the digital divide?
A. People’s low digital literacy. B. Inequality in accessing technology.
C. Poor technology tool accessibility. D. Lack of interest in digital technology.
14. What will be the consequence of not accessing reliable Internet?
A. Slow academic advancement. B. Damage of educational equity.
C. Unsound digital economy in future. D. Preference for traditional classroom settings.
15. How does the author find the issue of digital divide?
A. Severe. B. Insignificant. C. Unsolvable. D. Sensitive.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕数字鸿沟展开,指出其导致教育机会不均,分析了成因和后果,强调解决该问题需综合全面的方法。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。上文“The growing digital divide, the gap between those with access to advanced technological tools and those without, has increasingly become a main point of discussions.(日益扩大的数字鸿沟,即拥有先进技术工具的人和没有这些工具的人之间的差距,越来越成为讨论的焦点)”提出数字鸿沟这一概念,指拥有先进技术工具的人和没有这些工具的人之间的差距;根据划线词所在句“In today’s digital world, this widening disparity leads to significant disadvantages for underserved communities, especially in terms of educational opportunities.(在当今的数字世界里,这种不断扩大的disparity给服务不足的社区带来了巨大的不利影响,尤其是在教育机会方面)”和指代关系可知,this widening disparity指的就是前面提到的差距,所以disparity与A项“Difference”同义。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The digital divide is not just about the availability of online platforms; it also concerns access to reliable Internet, appropriate devices, and technical support, all of which are essential for effective learning.(数字鸿沟不仅仅关乎在线平台的可用性;它还涉及可靠互联网的接入、合适的设备以及技术支持,所有这些对于有效的学习都是必不可少的)”和第三段中“As a result, students in low-income areas, particularly those in rural or underdeveloped regions, find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. They face challenges such as difficulties in accessing learning materials, participating in virtual classrooms, and even developing basic technological skills.(因此,低收入地区的学生,特别是农村或欠发达地区的学生,发现自己处于明显的劣势。他们面临着诸如获取学习材料、参与虚拟教室、甚至发展基本技术技能等方面的困难)”可知,作者认为数字鸿沟与可靠的互联网接入、合适的设备以及技术支持有关。无法获取学习材料、参与虚拟教室和发展基本技术技能等困难导致了数字鸿沟。即获取技术的不平等导致了数字鸿沟。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“As a result, students in low-income areas, particularly those in rural or underdeveloped regions, find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. They face challenges such as difficulties in accessing learning materials, participating in virtual classrooms, and even developing basic technological skills. These barriers not only block their academic progress but also limit their future opportunities in an increasingly digital economy.(因此,低收入地区的学生,尤其是农村或欠发达地区的学生,明显处于劣势。他们面临着诸如难以获取学习材料、参与虚拟课堂,甚至难以发展基本技术技能等挑战。这些障碍不仅阻碍了他们的学业进步,也限制了他们在日益数字化的经济中的未来机会)”可知,无法接入可靠的互联网会导致学生难以获取学习材料、参与虚拟课堂,甚至难以发展基本技术技能,这将阻碍他们的学业进步。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The digital divide presents a significant challenge to educational equity.(数字鸿沟对教育公平构成了重大挑战)”可知,作者认为数字鸿沟问题很严重。故选A项。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When deciding how to approach learning or career development, the question often arises: should you focus deeply on one skill or spread your attention across multiple areas? Experts often debate the advantages of specialization vs generalization.
Specialists dedicate themselves to one area of expertise. They spend years mastering their craft, ensuring they excel in one thing. ____16____ For example, a doctor who specializes in neurology (神经学) is likely to provide better treatment for brain-related issues than a general medical doctor. In addition, specialists often enjoy a reputation for reliability in their professional area.
____17____ Industries evolve, and what is in demand today may not be relevant tomorrow. This can make it difficult for them to stay competitive. Specialists sometimes become over-reliant on their role, leaving them at risk if the field changes or declines.
Generalists, on the other hand, have a broad understanding of diverse subjects. This knowledge enables them to connect ideas across disciplines and adapt to new challenges more easily. ____18____ For instance, generalists who understand both marketing and technology may bridge gaps in a company’s strategies.
Yet, generalists might face challenges in a world that often rewards deep expertise. They may struggle to compete with specialists in highly technical fields. Generalists often lack the same level of depth as specialists. ____19____
So, which approach is better? It depends on the context and individual goals. ____20____ In an interconnected world, the best path might be a balance-developing expertise in a core area while remaining open to learning from other fields.
A. However, focusing on one field comes with risks.
B. Medical doctors are often seen as authorities in their field.
C. Both specialization and generalization have strengths and weaknesses.
D. But they also have capacities when forced to step outside their role.
E. This sometimes weaken their credibilities when precision is required.
F. They demonstrate depth and confidence in their chosen field of expertise.
G. They often excel at tackling complex problems that require diverse knowledge.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了专业化和多元化的优势和劣势。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Specialists dedicate themselves to one area of expertise. They spend years mastering their craft, ensuring they excel in one thing.(专家致力于一个专业领域。他们花数年时间掌握自己的手艺,确保自己在一件事上出类拔萃)”以及后文“For example, a doctor who specializes in neurology (神经学) is likely to provide better treatment for brain-related issues than a general medical doctor. In addition, specialists often enjoy a reputation for reliability in their professional area.(例如,一名专攻神经病学的医生可能会比普通医生更好地治疗与大脑有关的问题。此外,专家通常在其专业领域享有可靠的声誉)”可知,上文提到了专家致力于某一特定领域,后文则说医生更可能给予更好的治疗,可知本句是在说明专家在专业领域所展示出的优势。故F选项“他们在自己选择的专业领域表现出深度和信心”符合语境,故选F
【17题详解】
根据后文“Industries evolve, and what is in demand today may not be relevant tomorrow. This can make it difficult for them to stay competitive. Specialists sometimes become over-reliant on their role, leaving them at risk if the field changes or declines.(行业在演进,今天的需求可能明天就无关紧要了。这会让他们难以保持竞争力。专家有时过于依赖自己的角色,如果领域发生变化或衰退,他们会面临风险)”可知,后文提到行业在演进,专家有时过于依赖自己的角色,如果领域发生变化或衰退,他们会面临风险,可见专注于一个领域是有风险的。故A选项“然而,专注于一个领域是有风险的”符合语境,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Generalists, on the other hand, have a broad understanding of diverse subjects. This knowledge enables them to connect ideas across disciplines and adapt to new challenges more easily.(另一方面,通才对不同的学科有广泛的了解。这些知识使他们能够跨学科连接思想,更容易适应新挑战)”以及后文“For instance, generalists who understand both marketing and technology may bridge gaps in a company’s strategies.(例如,通才既了解市场营销又了解技术,这可能会弥补公司战略中的空白)”可知,上文提到了通才对不同的学科有广泛的了解,后文则说他们能够跨学科连接思想,可见通才了解不同的学科,即对不同的事物感兴趣。故G选项“他们经常擅长处理需要不同知识的复杂问题”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Yet, generalists might face challenges in a world that often rewards deep expertise. They may struggle to compete with specialists in highly technical fields. Generalists often lack the same level of depth as specialists.(然而,在经常奖励精通的世界里,通才可能面临挑战。他们可能很难与高度技术领域的专家竞争。通才通常缺乏专家的深度)”可知,上文提到通才通常缺乏专家的深度,本句为本段最后一句,应承接上文继续说明这一情况的结果:有时会削弱他们的可信度。故E选项“有时会削弱他们的可信度”符合语境,故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“So, which approach is better? It depends on the context and individual goals.(那么,哪种方法更好?这取决于背景和个人目标)”以及后文“In an interconnected world, the best path might be a balance-developing expertise in a core area while remaining open to learning from other fields.(在一个相互联系的世界里,最好的前进道路可能是平衡——在核心专业知识领域发展深度,同时保持开放,学习其他领域)”可知,上文提到了要根据背景和个人目标来选择方法,后文则说最好的前进道路可能是平衡,可见通才和专家都有自己的优势。故C选项“但专业化和多元化都有优势和劣势”符合语境,故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了彭国龙对傩戏面具雕刻的热爱及发展经历。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:几千年前的商朝(公元前1600年-公元前1046年),人们举行仪式,用骨头和贝壳雕刻的面具来驱邪。本句的谓语动词是“performed(举行)”,所以空格处需要填入非谓语动词,修饰名词“masks(面具)”,动词“make(制作)”与其构成被动关系,所以需要填入过去分词形式。故填made。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:参加者会同时唱“傩,傩”。此处是固定短语“at the same time”,意为“同时”。故填at。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:他们开始在南瓜或瓜上画轮廓,然后仔细地雕刻眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。空处修饰空后的动词,用副词修饰。故填carefully。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:这位老师,59岁的彭国龙是傩面具雕刻的第一代继承人,他致力于这项技艺已有30多年了。根据句子中的for over 30 years可知,此处需要用现在完成时态,主语Peng Guolong是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has。故填has devoted。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他强调,基本的雕刻练习,有时使用粘土,是学生掌握艺术的必要条件。此处为固定句型:主语+be+adj.+(for sb) to do sth.“某事(对于某人来说)是……的”,不定式作原因状语。故填to master。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然傩面不再被广泛用于宗教仪式,但作为装饰艺术,傩面已经越来越受欢迎。空前是动词,所以空处应填名词作宾语,popular的名词形式是popularity。故填popularity。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:彭的家里装饰着各种各样的傩面具,包括代表将军的黑脸和代表宰相的白脸。结合句意,表示“包括”应用介词including。故填including。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:彭的家里装饰着各种各样的傩面具,包括代表将军的黑脸和代表宰相的白脸。空处引导非限制性定语从句。先行词是various Nuo masks,指物,在从句中作主语,所以需要填入关系代词which。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在广州工作后,他于1996年回到家乡,创办了一家傩面具雕刻厂。return作本句谓语,根据时间状语in 1996可知,用一般过去时。故填returned。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他说:“我对傩刻有着深深的热爱,这是我一生的追求。”此处是固定搭配:have a passion for意为“对……充满热情”,deep为辅音音素开头,用a修饰。故填a。

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Katie’s first morning at Uncle Ralph’s Seaview Resort always followed a comforting tradition. She would wake up to the loud cry of Gulliver, the one-legged seagull (海鸥), ringing over the cottages. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah! Kee-aah!”It was like an announcement of her arrival. Gulliver’s timing was mysterious — he showed up the day Katie and her dad arrived and disappeared the day they left. Uncle Ralph often joked, “I swear that bird knows your holiday plans better than you do.” This routine repeated itself every summer, as reliably as the tides.
But this summer was different. Katie woke early, eager to hear Gulliver’s familiar cry. Instead, she heard the sparrows quarreling in the bushes, the low hum of fishing boats going out through the morning mist, and the soft sound of small waves hitting the rocks. These were the usual sounds of the harbor, yet they felt empty without Gulliver’s presence. Katie stared at her untouched bread during breakfast. “He’s not coming,” she said quietly, her heart sinking.
“Maybe he missed the ferry,” Dad joked, trying to lighten the mood.
“Or found himself a new girlfriend,” Uncle Ralph joked with a grin.
Katie barely smiled. She had loved Gulliver for as long as she could remember, and his absence felt personal. After breakfast, she grabbed her camera and wandered down to the harbor. The sheltered harbor was busy with its usual activity: boats gently rocked with the soft breeze, and the sunlight played on the water, sparkling like a thousand tiny diamonds. It was picturesque, but not the picture Katie longed to capture.
Her eyes moved to the boathouse roof, Gulliver’s favorite place to rest. It was empty, as were the nearby banks and rocks. She called out to Ernest, an old friend who lived on a houseboat with his dog, Shipmate. “Hi, Ernest. Seen Gulliver?”
“Not yet, Katie,” Ernest answered with a sympathetic smile. His answer deepened her worry. As she patted Shipmate and watched the boats drift, she realized that summer without Gulliver felt incomplete — like something magical was missing.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, Katie took one last look at the boathouse roof.

Just then, a loud cry echoed through the air, “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The next morning, Katie took one last look at the boathouse roof. A glint of white caught her eye — a single feather trembling in the breeze. Her pulse quickened as she scrambled up the wooden ladder, camera bouncing against her chest. There, hidden behind a rusted weathervane, lay Gulliver with his good leg tangled in fishing line. The bird flapped weakly, his signature cry reduced to faint rasps. “Dad! Uncle Ralph!” Katie yelled, carefully wrapping her sweater around the trembling creature. Within minutes, they were gently untangling the nylon thread, Ernest arriving with a first-aid kit and Shipmate keeping watch like a fuzzy sentinel.
Just then, a loud cry echoed through the air, “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!” Gulliver cocked his head as two fluffy chicks waddled from the boathouse shadows, followed by a watchful female seagull. Katie’s camera clicked automatically, capturing the miracle — Gulliver hadn’t abandoned them; he’d started a family. The mystery of his absence unraveled like the morning mist. As the reunited seagull family took flight above the sparkling harbor, Katie understood — some magic doesn’t disappear; it multiplies.
【解析】

I was born into a family where my parents valued practicality over passion, yet from the moment I could hold a crayon, I knew I was different.
One summer, while exploring our old house, I discovered a hidden door to the attic (阁楼). Inside, I found a box of forgotten art supplies and a leather-bound sketchbook. From the name Lydia Sky on the front page, I knew it belonged to my grandmother, whom I never met. My parents, always tight-lipped about her, had described her as someone who chose a path of hardship and heartache. But as I leafed through her sketches, I saw a different story-a woman who had poured her soul and love into her art.
That summer, I spent every free moment there, transforming blank surfaces into paintings. When my parents discovered my secret, they tried to drive me back to a sensible life, but my passion for art only grew stronger. One stormy night, inspired by a flash of lightning, I decided to enter the city’s Celestial Art Contest, known for discovering young talents.
I poured my heart into a piece illustrating a world torn between darkness and light, with a girl standing at the crossroads, her gaze fixed on the rising sun. It mirrored my journey and struggle.
The day of the contest came. The judges approached my painting. Their eyes widened in amazement, and tears filled my eyes as the head judge placed a gold star on my painting, calling it a master piece that went beyond age and experience.
My parents, who had unwillingly attended, stood frozen. For the first time, I saw a bit of pride in their eyes. That night, under a sky filled with stars, my mother whispered, “Luna, we were wrong. You have a gift. Follow your heart, just like your grandmother did.”
Years later as I stood in my own studio, I realized the attic had been the catalyst (催化剂) for my dreams. It was a portal (门户) to my destiny, where I discovered the true colors of my soul and the legacy of my grandmother, Lydia Sky.
4. What was Grandma like in Luna’s eyes?
A. She experienced a heart-breaking life. B. She expected to pass on her artworks.
C. She explored the art world in the attic. D. She exhibited great enthusiasm for art.
5. What did Luna’s parents do when they discovered her secret?
A. They told her about Grandma’s stories. B. They supported her in entering the contest.
C. They tried to direct her to a practical life path. D. They encouraged her to pursue her art ambition.
6. Why did Luna decide to participate in the art contest?
A To show her talent. B. To amaze the judges.
C. To discover her true self. D. To express her love for Grandma.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. Preparation makes perfect. B. Passion fuels potential.

Known for their intelligence, crows, large black birds, have been observed using tools to catch insects, recognizing human faces, and employing clever strategies, such as dropping nuts on roads for cars to crack them open. These are clear signs of their cleverness.
A study led by Andreas Nieder at the University of Tübingen, published in 2020 in Science, brought some truly fascinating findings about crows. It revealed that these birds possess self-awareness or consciousness, which was supported by observations of crows inspecting hidden markings or adjusting their position while maintaining eye contact with the mirror reflection.
Nieder’s experiment presented that crows consciously evaluate problems, demonstrating a capability typically linked to the human cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). However, birds lack cerebral cortex. Instead, their thought processes take place in the gray and white matter layers of their brains.
The following study has further explored the capabilities of bird brains. It suggests that they, despite their small size, can support advanced cognition (认知). Bird brains contain around 1.5 billion neurons (神经元). These neurons are smaller and more tightly packed than those of monkeys. This unique arrangement enhances communication between neurons, effectively boosting crows’ intelligence similar to monkeys. This new understanding offers fresh viewpoints on the cognitive abilities and evolutionary development of birds. It’s quite interesting to think that if the dinosaurs that evolved into birds had similar brain structures, they might have been far more intelligent than we previously thought.
This research reshapes our understanding of intelligence evolution. It reveals that cerebral cortex is not essential for higher cognition, as other anatomical structures can achieve similar outcomes. Moreover, it implies either that consciousness evolved over 320 million years ago in a common ancestor of mammals and birds or that it arose independently in both groups. These findings broaden the range of intelligence evolution and suggest that intelligence on other planets may not be mammal or human-like, but could very well be birdlike.
8. Which of the following indicates crows’ self-awareness?
A. Identifying human faces. B. Gaining food by using tools.
C. Recognizing themselves in mirrors. D. Employing clever strategies to solve problems.
9. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. All birds have cerebral cortex except crows.
B. Birds’ intelligence relies on their large brains.
C. Crows possess more advanced cognitive abilities.
D. Intelligence can emerge through different brain structures.
10. Why does the author mention “intelligence on other planets” in the last paragraph?
A. To argue that humans are not the most intelligent beings.
B. To suggest that intelligence could appear in diverse forms.
C. To propose that birds might live elsewhere in the universe.
D. To show that intelligence beyond the earth is unlikely to exist.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Intelligence Evolved Only in Mammals
B. Birds Have Developed Cerebral Cortex
C. Crows Are Even Smarter than We Thought
D. Dinosaurs Could Have Been More Intelligent
D
The growing digital divide, the gap between those with access to advanced technological tools and those without, has increasingly become a main point of discussions. In today’s digital world, this widening disparity leads to significant disadvantages for underserved communities, especially in terms of educational opportunities.
While some argue that the rise of online learning platforms has popularized education by offering a great amount of resources to anyone with an Internet connection, others believe this expansion often overlooks the fundamental barriers that prevent many people from engaging with these technologies. The digital divide is not just about the availability of online platforms; it also concerns access to reliable Internet, appropriate devices, and technical support, all of which are essential for effective learning.
As a result, students in low-income areas, particularly those in rural or underdeveloped regions, find themselves at a distinct disadvantage. They face challenges such as difficulties in accessing learning materials, participating in virtual classrooms, and even developing basic technological skills. These barriers not only block their academic progress but also limit their future opportunities in an increasingly digital economy.
Although some view the digital divide as a temporary issue that can be solved through hardware improvements and increased Internet accessibility, the problem is more complex. Without targeted efforts to address both the availability of technology and the development of essential digital skills, the gap is likely to continue. Ensuring equitable access to both the tools and the knowledge needed to use them effectively is crucial to bridging this divide and promoting fairness in education.
The digital divide presents a significant challenge to educational equity. Addressing it requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond simply increasing Internet access, focusing also on building the necessary facilities and skills to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, can achieve success in the digital age.
12. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Difference. B. Difficulty. C. Disadvantage. D. Distribution.
13. What does the author think causes the digital divide?
A. People’s low digital literacy. B. Inequality in accessing technology.
C. Poor technology tool accessibility. D. Lack of interest in digital technology.
14. What will be the consequence of not accessing reliable Internet?
A. Slow academic advancement. B. Damage of educational equity.
C. Unsound digital economy in future. D. Preference for traditional classroom settings.
15. How does the author find the issue of digital divide?
A. Severe. B. Insignificant. C. Unsolvable. D. Sensitive.

When deciding how to approach learning or career development, the question often arises: should you focus deeply on one skill or spread your attention across multiple areas? Experts often debate the advantages of specialization vs generalization.
Specialists dedicate themselves to one area of expertise. They spend years mastering their craft, ensuring they excel in one thing. ____16____ For example, a doctor who specializes in neurology (神经学) is likely to provide better treatment for brain-related issues than a general medical doctor. In addition, specialists often enjoy a reputation for reliability in their professional area.
____17____ Industries evolve, and what is in demand today may not be relevant tomorrow. This can make it difficult for them to stay competitive. Specialists sometimes become over-reliant on their role, leaving them at risk if the field changes or declines.
Generalists, on the other hand, have a broad understanding of diverse subjects. This knowledge enables them to connect ideas across disciplines and adapt to new challenges more easily. ____18____ For instance, generalists who understand both marketing and technology may bridge gaps in a company’s strategies.
Yet, generalists might face challenges in a world that often rewards deep expertise. They may struggle to compete with specialists in highly technical fields. Generalists often lack the same level of depth as specialists. ____19____
So, which approach is better? It depends on the context and individual goals. ____20____ In an interconnected world, the best path might be a balance-developing expertise in a core area while remaining open to learning from other fields.
A. However, focusing on one field comes with risks.
B. Medical doctors are often seen as authorities in their field.
C. Both specialization and generalization have strengths and weaknesses.
D. But they also have capacities when forced to step outside their role.
E. This sometimes weaken their credibilities when precision is required.
F. They demonstrate depth and confidence in their chosen field of expertise.
G. They often excel at tackling complex problems that require diverse knowledge.

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。
Katie’s first morning at Uncle Ralph’s Seaview Resort always followed a comforting tradition. She would wake up to the loud cry of Gulliver, the one-legged seagull (海鸥), ringing over the cottages. “Kee-aah! Kee-aah! Kee-aah!”It was like an announcement of her arrival. Gulliver’s timing was mysterious — he showed up the day Katie and her dad arrived and disappeared the day they left. Uncle Ralph often joked, “I swear that bird knows your holiday plans better than you do.” This routine repeated itself every summer, as reliably as the tides.
But this summer was different. Katie woke early, eager to hear Gulliver’s familiar cry. Instead, she heard the sparrows quarreling in the bushes, the low hum of fishing boats going out through the morning mist, and the soft sound of small waves hitting the rocks. These were the usual sounds of the harbor, yet they felt empty without Gulliver’s presence. Katie stared at her untouched bread during breakfast. “He’s not coming,” she said quietly, her heart sinking.
“Maybe he missed the ferry,” Dad joked, trying to lighten the mood.
“Or found himself a new girlfriend,” Uncle Ralph joked with a grin.
Katie barely smiled. She had loved Gulliver for as long as she could remember, and his absence felt personal. After breakfast, she grabbed her camera and wandered down to the harbor. The sheltered harbor was busy with its usual activity: boats gently rocked with the soft breeze, and the sunlight played on the water, sparkling like a thousand tiny diamonds. It was picturesque, but not the picture Katie longed to capture.
Her eyes moved to the boathouse roof, Gulliver’s favorite place to rest. It was empty, as were the nearby banks and rocks. She called out to Ernest, an old friend who lived on a houseboat with his dog, Shipmate. “Hi, Ernest. Seen Gulliver?”
“Not yet, Katie,” Ernest answered with a sympathetic smile. His answer deepened her worry. As she patted Shipmate and watched the boats drift, she realized that summer without Gulliver felt incomplete — like something magical was missing.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, Katie took one last look at the boathouse roof.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just then, a loud cry echoed through the air, “Kee-aah! Kee-aah!”
