Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.
Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.
To help protect the wonder, Mei volunteered to walk along the wall each day to check its condition, encouraging other villagers to join him. “Of course, it might be dangerous to hike in the mountains by myself, so I always tap the grassy ground along the way with a wooden stick, scaring wild animals away,” Mei said.
In 2006, as head of the village, Mei helped set up a local volunteer protection group. Realizing the importance of heritage protection, more and more villagers returned the bricks they had taken, and about 80 of them joined as volunteers. To ensure that the volunteers could carry out their duties effectively, Mei arranged for training programs on basic protection and safety measures. Together, they conducted daily check-ups to track the condition of the Great Wall and reported any damages.
Encouraged by her father, Mei’s daughter, followed him and officially became a Great Wall protector in 2019. “When I was a child, my father always told me his stories and talked about the history of the Great Wall,” Mei’s daughter said. “It is also my responsibility to protect the cultural heritage.”
The past ten years have seen Mei’s preservation efforts to the Great Wall. “It is my biggest wish to see heritage well-preserved and open to visits, encouraging more people to join us in protecting the Great Wall,” Mei says.

Imagine this: You’re at an office job, wearing noise-canceling headphones to dampen the surrounding chatter. A co-worker arrives at your desk and asks a question, but rather than needing to remove the headphones and say, “What?”, you hear the question clearly. Meanwhile, the water-cooler chat across the room remains muted.
A team led by researchers at the University of Washington has created a headphone prototype (原型) that allows listeners to create just such a “sound bubble (音泡)”. The team’s artificial intelligence(AI) combined with a headphone prototype allow the wearer to hear people speaking within a bubble with a programmable radius (半径) of 3 to 6 feet. Voices and sounds outside the bubble are quieted an average of 49 decibels (分贝), even if the distant sounds are louder than those inside the bubble.
“Humans aren’t great at perceiving distances through sound, particularly when there are multiple sound sources around them,” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. “Our AI system can actually learn the distance for each sound source in a room, and process this in real time, within 8 milliseconds, on the hearing device itself.”
Researchers created the prototype with commercially available noise-canceling headphones. They affixed six small microphones across the headband. The team’s neural network - running on a small onboard embedded computer attached to the headphones - tracks when different sounds reach each microphone. The system then lowers the sounds coming from outside the bubble, while playing back and slightly enhancing the sounds inside the bubble.
The system has been trained to work only indoors, because getting clean training audio is more difficult outdoors. Next, the team is working to make the technology function on hearing aids and noise-canceling earbuds, which requires a new strategy for positioning the microphones.
8. What does the underlined word “dampen” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Interrupt. B. Weaken. C. Destroy. D. Remove.
9. What can the sound bubble created by the headphones do?
A. Prevent all sounds equally. B. Recognize the wearer’s voice.
C. Pick up specific sounds. D. Ignore noise outside the bubble.
10. How does the AI determine sound distances?
A. By learning in real time. B. By counting sound sources.
C. By using air pressure changes. D. By comparing sound volume.
11. What may be the team’s next mission?
A. Enhancing audio clarity in outdoor environments.
B. Creating a larger sound bubble for more speakers.
C. Developing noise-canceling algorithms for louder sounds.
D. Adapting the system for use in hearing aids and earbuds.
D
How important are the first three episodes (集) to a show? The first three episodes of a drama are crucial for keeping viewers engaged. Tencent Video data suggests that almost 40% of viewers abandon a show within the first three episodes, with 35% of those abandoning it within the first seven minutes of the first episode.
But now, the old rules of judging a show by its first few episodes are fading. The audience has developed from the double-speed watching at the beginning to the commentary- style (弹幕式) watching, and then to the fragmented (碎片化) watching that is appearing now. The audience’s speed of watching shows has been speeding up.
When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows, we can’t help but ask, is it because shows nowadays are bad? Or is it because the audience is impatient? For young people who are active on social media, they have many choices. When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes, but go to Weibo, Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips. When a show can’t get popular in the first week, it basically fails.
The poet Coleridge said “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” This explains the value of short videos: in the crowded field of information, you can’t get any useful knowledge. Watching shows by short videos is different from watching movies or reading novels. While we are surrounded by short videos, finding real knowledge is a struggle. Short videos offer instant satisfaction but lack depth, finally destroying the artistic value of film and television. This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers.
Nowadays, people don’t have the patience to watch a movie, a famous book, or an in-depth article. Neil Postman’s warning that we’re becoming “amused to death” is proving true.
12. What does the data from Tencent Video suggest?
A. Viewers’ expectation for shows.
B. Viewers’ impatience with shows.
C. Viewers’ opinions on making shows.
D. Viewers’ reasons for abandoning shows.
13 Why have the audience changed their habits of watching shows?
A. The shows have become longer today.
B. The quality of shows has decreased greatly.
C. Audience may not like watching shows as before.
D. Social media provides many choices of short videos.
14. What is the influence of watching shows by short videos?
A. It will reduce viewers’ confusion.
B. It will narrow viewers’ horizon.
C. It will weaken viewers’ thinking abilities.
D. It will provide viewers useful knowledge.
15. How does the author feel about the change in watching shows?
A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Satisfied.

Armed with two over-packed suitcases,we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. “Well, here we are, the airport,” my sister said with a sigh. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. This was not easy on her either. We had both been dreading (害怕) this moment for the past week. One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new life abroad, leaving my beloved sister behind.
All my life I had loved airports. To me they were some kind of magic gateway to the world,a place from which to start great holidays and adventures. But today it seemed like a cold and heartless place. I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears, she was trying to keep a brave face. “You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I’ll miss you,” I replied, and with those last words I was off. As promised, I did not look back, but by the time I reached the customs office I was sobbing (啜泣). “Cheer up, love,” the tall customs officer said with a smile. “It’s not the end of the world, you know.” But to me it was the end of the world, as I had known it.
While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I stuffed it on the empty seat next to mine. As I settled into my chair, a feeling of sadness overwhelmed me. I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. Born barely fifteen months apart we not only looked alike, we were alike. Whenever one of us need something, the other one would come along. When the time came for us to go to college, we also went together. But now that our college days were over and I was off to a foreign country, all I had left were my memories.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Suddenly the plane shook heavily and the bag next to me fell on the floor.

Paragraph 2:
I spent the rest of the flight reading about my sister’s diary.

Even at 80, Mei Jingtian continues to watch over the Great Wall.
Living in a village near the Great Wall, Mei has a deep love for the wall. He still remembers he usually ran and played hide-and-seek with his friends on this impressive structure when he was a child. However, when he returned to the village after working outside for years, he was surprised by the damage to the ancient wall. “Some villagers even took bricks from it to build their houses,” Mei said.

Imagine this: You’re at an office job, wearing noise-canceling headphones to dampen the surrounding chatter. A co-worker arrives at your desk and asks a question, but rather than needing to remove the headphones and say, “What?”, you hear the question clearly. Meanwhile, the water-cooler chat across the room remains muted.
A team led by researchers at the University of Washington has created a headphone prototype (原型) that allows listeners to create just such a “sound bubble (音泡)”. The team’s artificial intelligence(AI) combined with a headphone prototype allow the wearer to hear people speaking within a bubble with a programmable radius (半径) of 3 to 6 feet. Voices and sounds outside the bubble are quieted an average of 49 decibels (分贝), even if the distant sounds are louder than those inside the bubble.
“Humans aren’t great at perceiving distances through sound, particularly when there are multiple sound sources around them,” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, a UW professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. “Our AI system can actually learn the distance for each sound source in a room, and process this in real time, within 8 milliseconds, on the hearing device itself.”
Researchers created the prototype with commercially available noise-canceling headphones. They affixed six small microphones across the headband. The team’s neural network - running on a small onboard embedded computer attached to the headphones - tracks when different sounds reach each microphone. The system then lowers the sounds coming from outside the bubble, while playing back and slightly enhancing the sounds inside the bubble.
The system has been trained to work only indoors, because getting clean training audio is more difficult outdoors. Next, the team is working to make the technology function on hearing aids and noise-canceling earbuds, which requires a new strategy for positioning the microphones.
8. What does the underlined word “dampen” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Interrupt. B. Weaken. C. Destroy. D. Remove.
9. What can the sound bubble created by the headphones do?
A. Prevent all sounds equally. B. Recognize the wearer’s voice.
C. Pick up specific sounds. D. Ignore noise outside the bubble.
10. How does the AI determine sound distances?
A. By learning in real time. B. By counting sound sources.
C. By using air pressure changes. D. By comparing sound volume.
11. What may be the team’s next mission?
A. Enhancing audio clarity in outdoor environments.
B. Creating a larger sound bubble for more speakers.
C. Developing noise-canceling algorithms for louder sounds.
D. Adapting the system for use in hearing aids and earbuds.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Imagine this: You’re at an office job, wearing noise-canceling headphones to dampen the surrounding chatter. A co-worker arrives at your desk and asks a question, but rather than needing to remove the headphones and say, “What?”, you hear the question clearly. (想象一下:你在办公室工作,戴着降噪耳机来 周围的嘈杂声。一位同事来到你的办公桌前,问了一个问题,而不是拿掉耳机说:“什么?,你就能清楚地听到这个问题。)”根据句意可知是戴着降噪耳机,所以应该是减弱周围嘈杂声,这样不用拿掉耳机就能听清同事问的问题,所以dampen意为“减弱”,和Weaken同义,故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The team’s artificial intelligence(AI) combined with a headphone prototype allow the wearer to hear people speaking within a bubble with a programmable radius (半径) of 3 to 6 feet.

(该团队将人工智能(AI)与耳机原型相结合,使佩戴者能够在3至6英尺的可编程半径(1 / 4)内听到人们说话。即使远处的声音比气泡内的声音大,气泡外的声音平均也会安静49分贝。)”可知,这种耳机创造的音泡能让佩戴者听到音泡内的声音,同时降低音泡外的声音,故推断耳机产生的音泡能接收特定的声音,故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Our AI system can actually learn the distance for each sound source in a room, and process this in real time, within 8 milliseconds, on the hearing device itself. (我们的人工智能系统实际上可以了解房间里每个声源的距离,并在听觉设备上实时处理,时间为8毫秒。)”可知, AI系统能通过实时学习来确定每个声源的距离。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Next, the team is working to make the technology function on hearing aids and noise-canceling earbuds, which requires a new strategy for positioning the microphones. (接下来,该团队正在努力使这项技术在助听器和降噪耳塞上发挥作用,这需要一种新的定位麦克风的策略。)”可知,团队下一步工作的任务是调整系统以便在助听器和降噪耳塞上发挥作用,故选D。

How important are the first three episodes (集) to a show? The first three episodes of a drama are crucial for keeping viewers engaged. Tencent Video data suggests that almost 40% of viewers abandon a show within the first three episodes, with 35% of those abandoning it within the first seven minutes of the first episode.
But now, the old rules of judging a show by its first few episodes are fading. The audience has developed from the double-speed watching at the beginning to the commentary- style (弹幕式) watching, and then to the fragmented (碎片化) watching that is appearing now. The audience’s speed of watching shows has been speeding up.
When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows, we can’t help but ask, is it because shows nowadays are bad? Or is it because the audience is impatient? For young people who are active on social media, they have many choices. When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes, but go to Weibo, Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips. When a show can’t get popular in the first week, it basically fails.
The poet Coleridge said “Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.” This explains the value of short videos: in the crowded field of information, you can’t get any useful knowledge. Watching shows by short videos is different from watching movies or reading novels. While we are surrounded by short videos, finding real knowledge is a struggle. Short videos offer instant satisfaction but lack depth, finally destroying the artistic value of film and television. This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers.
Nowadays, people don’t have the patience to watch a movie, a famous book, or an in-depth article. Neil Postman’s warning that we’re becoming “amused to death” is proving true.
12. What does the data from Tencent Video suggest?
A. Viewers’ expectation for shows.
B Viewers’ impatience with shows.
C. Viewers’ opinions on making shows.
D. Viewers’ reasons for abandoning shows.
13. Why have the audience changed their habits of watching shows?
A. The shows have become longer today.
B. The quality of shows has decreased greatly.
C. Audience may not like watching shows as before.
D. Social media provides many choices of short videos.
14. What is the influence of watching shows by short videos?
A. It will reduce viewers’ confusion.
B. It will narrow viewers’ horizon.
C. It will weaken viewers’ thinking abilities.
D. It will provide viewers useful knowledge.
15 How does the author feel about the change in watching shows?
A. Worried. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Satisfied.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“When the audience is more and more casual in watching shows, we can’t help but ask, is it because shows nowadays are bad? Or is it because the audience is impatient? For young people who are active on social media, they have many choices. When a new show comes out, they will not watch the first three episodes, but go to Weibo, Douban and other social media platforms to watch short video clips. When a show can’t get popular in the first week, it basically fails. (当观众越来越随意地看节目时,我们不禁要问,这是因为现在的节目不好吗?还是因为听众没有耐心?对于活跃在社交媒体上的年轻人来说,他们有很多选择。当一部新剧播出时,他们不会看前三集,而是去微博、豆瓣等社交媒体平台看短视频。如果一部剧在第一周不受欢迎,它基本上就失败了。)”可知,社交媒体提供了很多短视频的选择,改变了观众的观剧习惯。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段中“This constant stream of fragmented information can make us lazy thinkers. (这种持续不断的碎片化信息会让我们变得懒惰。)”可知,这说明通过短视频看剧会削弱观众的思维能力。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Nowadays, people don’t have the patience to watch a movie, a famous book, or an in-depth article. Neil Postman’s warning that we’re becoming “amused to death” is proving true. (现在,人们没有耐心去看一部电影、一本名著或一篇深入的文章。Neil Postman警告说,我们正变得“被逗乐到死”,事实证明这是真的。)”可知,作者对观剧习惯的改变感到担忧。故选A。

【36题详解】
考查动名词的被动语态。句意:泰勒·斯威夫特以其出色的表现被《时代》杂志评为2023年度人物。by是介词,后接动名词,且泰勒・斯威夫特是“被评为”《时代》杂志年度人物,所以用动名词的被动式being done,故填being named。

【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:在2023年之前,她就已经是一个超级巨星了,由于“时代”的巡演,她的事业达到了新的高度——在这场巡演中,她每晚都会演唱45首歌曲。设空处为宾语,应用名词height,表示“高度”,多用复数形式,故填heights。

【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意同上。“take”后面接宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……东西”,应用what引导宾语从句。故填what。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:斯威夫特的帝国时期是在她因其女权主义立场而被诋毁的一段时间之后——尽管她的沉默只是因为缺乏自信。设空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词是“a period”,表示时间,关系词在从句中作时间状语,用关系副词when,故填when。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:斯威夫特的帝国时期是在她因其女权主义立场而被诋毁的一段时间之后——尽管她的沉默只是因为缺乏自信。“a lack of...”是固定短语,意为“缺乏……”,故填a。

【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。 形容词修饰后面的 “purple patch”,create的形容词形式是creative,意为“创造性的”。故填creative。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:《时代》杂志总编山姆·雅各布斯说,这位美国流行偶像是“罕见既能写自己的故事又能成为英雄的人”,并补充说斯威夫特“找到了一种超越国界的方式,成为了光明的源泉”。设空处为非谓语动词,add与前面的句子主语Sam Jacobs是主动关系,所以用现在分词adding作伴随状语。故填adding。

第四节(满分25分)
66. 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。
Armed with two over-packed suitcases,we arrived at the airport just in time for my flight. “Well, here we are, the airport,” my sister said with a sigh. As I watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. This was not easy on her either. We had both been dreading (害怕) this moment for the past week. One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new life abroad, leaving my beloved sister behind.
All my life I had loved airports. To me they were some kind of magic gateway to the world,a place from which to start great holidays and adventures. But today it seemed like a cold and heartless place. I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears, she was trying to keep a brave face. “You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I’ll miss you,” I replied, and with those last words I was off. As promised, I did not look back, but by the time I reached the customs office I was sobbing (啜泣). “Cheer up, love,” the tall customs officer said with a smile. “It’s not the end of the world, you know.” But to me it was the end of the world, as I had known it.
While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I stuffed it on the empty seat next to mine. As I settled into my chair, a feeling of sadness overwhelmed me. I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
Growing up, my sister and I would do everything together. Born barely fifteen months apart we not only looked alike, we were alike. Whenever one of us need something, the other one would come along. When the time came for us to go to college, we also went together. But now that our college days were over and I was off to a foreign country, all I had left were my memories.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Suddenly the plane shook heavily and the bag next to me fell on the floor.

Paragraph 2:
I spent the rest of the flight reading about my sister’s diary.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Suddenly the plane shook heavily and the bag next to me fell on the floor. Startled, I quickly reached down to pick it up, and as I did, a small notebook fell out from the bag. I opened it and immediately recognized my sister’s handwriting. It was a diary she had secretly slipped into my bag before I left. Flipping through the pages, I found heartfelt messages, memories of our childhood, and words of encouragement for my new journey. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the depth of her love and support, even in my absence.
Paragraph 2:
I spent the rest of the flight reading about my sister’s diary. Her words on the page brought a bittersweet mix of emotions, reminding me of the bond we shared and the strength she always gave me. As I read through the diary, I felt a sense of warmth and comfort, as if she were right there beside me. It was a precious gift that I would cherish throughout my time abroad, a reminder of the unbreakable connection between us despite the physical distance. Holding onto the diary, I knew that no matter where life took me, my sister would always be with me in spirit.
