How it works A loan is borrowed money that you have to pay back with interest. Each UC campus will determine the amount a student can borrow based on available funding and number of qualified students. The maximum amount of a loan is capped at $4,000 each year, per student. You can borrow every year if you are a qualified student at UC or until you receive a maximum of $20000 in DREAM loans. What you need to do Make sure you apply for financial aid by filing a California Dream Act application. There are no separate forms required to apply for the California DREAM Loan Program, but you’ll need to apply for financial aid every year to be considered for the DREAM Loan Program. You may see a DREAM Loan offered as part of your financial aid award letter. You do not need to accept the loan if you don’t want to—it’s not necessary. If you’re interested in borrowing from the California DREAM Loan Program, but don’t see an offer in your financial aid award letter, reach out to the campus financial aid office. Make sure to check your email and your campus student website on a regular basis in case the financial aid office contacts you. 1. How much can a student borrow at most through the program each year? A. $2,000. B. $4,000. C. $10,000. D. $20,000. 2. What should the students do to get the loan? A. File an annual application. B. Fill in separate application forms. C. Ask for a financial aid award letter. D. Contact the financial aid office regularly. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A tourist brochure. B. A scientific journal. C. A university website. D. A government report. B Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee. An idea flashed through Will’s head. He could grow food here. Most people in the neighborhood were not eating well. “Folks were living in what I call a food desert,” Will says, “I knew I had to do something, because you can’t have a healthy community without healthy food.” Will hired some neighborhood teenagers to help him get started. They “grew” new soil by composting, which means collecting food waste and piling it up until it breaks down and turns into soil. Then they made good natural fertilizer (肥料) before starting growing food. Today, Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people in the neighborhood. In the winter, the compost gives off enough heat to keep the greenhouses warm as it breaks down into soil. Goats, chickens, and turkeys live behind the greenhouses. Red-eyed fish are swimming in aquariums (水族箱) at the center of the greenhouses. The fish are for eating, but they also help the plants grow. The water they swim in, enriched by the fish droppings, is channeled toward the pots containing vegetables. Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water. “We don’t waste anything here,” Will says. “The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people. You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top. Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down. By the time the water returns to the fish on the bottom floor, it’s clean again.” Will says, “Growing food is powerful and it can change the world!” 4. Why did Will decide to grow food in Milwaukee? A. To enable people to eat better. B. To make some profits by farming. C. To build a harmonious community. D. To transform the desert into a farm. 5. What do we know about Will’s food centre? A. It works like a forest and wastes nothing. B It is a greenhouse and provides heat in winter. C. It is a city farm and employs chemical fertilizers. D. It collects conventional soil and uses animal waste. 6. Which of the following can best describe Will? A. Thoughtful and faithful. B. Adventurous and generous. C. Creative and ambitious. D. Humorous and farsighted. 7. What is Will talking about in the last paragraph? A. The procedure of water cleaning. B. The influence of vertical farming. C. The vision for future city farming. D. The description of a future building. C Given the ability of AI to imitate humans’ problem-solving ability, it’s not surprising that many people are turning to AI-powered fitness coaches to help them plan exercise routines, track their nutrition and set goals for losing weight. Sridhar Narayanan, a professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, said, “I am interested in weight loss apps. They are less costly than hiring human coaches. By tapping into users’ private health data like goal setting and food intake logs, AI can give guidance to users. However, I am not sure about their effects. Given that weight loss journeys may bring emotions like shame, anxiety and frustration, can technology be as effective as a live person in helping customers in this aspect?” To find out more, Narayanan compared data from customers who only used weight loss apps with those who used AI paired with human coaches. He found that on average, people using weight loss apps lost about 1.5% of their starting body weight, compared to 2.7% for those with AI-plus human plans. “To explain the result, I also looked into the users. Customers who picked human coaching tended to set higher weight loss goals and logged their weight and food intake more frequently. Customers may also feel more responsible for their actions when being supervised (监督) by a live person. It takes more efforts and courage to cancel a training session than to ignore an AI-generated notification on your phone. Being firm and tough may be more effective than offering emotional comforts in terms of being a fitness coach,” Narayanan said. More research into human coaching versus AI is likely on the horizon. Next, Narayanan will focus on app users who are tracking and getting coaching for serious health issues like diabetes (糖尿病). Finding a way to measure how effectively technology helps customers deal with their overall health could make AI-driven health monitoring more valuable for the tech industry. People are paying more attention to their health and experts in fitness training are rare and lacking. The demand for AI coaching is growing and every technology company is trying very hard to cut a slice of the cake. 8. According to Paragraph 2, what did Narayanan think of weight loss apps? A. They are more expensive. B. They lack emotional comfort. C. They may give wrong guidance. D. They may give away private information. 9. Why are AI-plus-human plans effective? A. Human coaches can offer advice on users’ diet. B. Human coaches can help users set achievable goals. C Human coaches are more responsible for users’ plans. D. Human coaches can provide strict guidance and supervision. 10. What can we learn about the market of AI coaching in the last paragraph? A. AI coaching is less effective than human coaching for serious health conditions. B. Tech companies will be quite interested in expanding their presence in the market. C. The demand for AI coaching is declining as fitness experts become more available. D. Measuring technology’s impact on health is unnecessary for tech industry’s success. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Technology can monitor human health B. AI-powered apps can help you lose weight C. AI-powered fitness coaches have become popular D. Combining human and AI-powered coaching works better D A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology. “There are a lot of illusions (错觉) of time,” says Martin Wiener, a scientist at George Mason University. Recently, his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer, and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable. Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones. The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects. To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. They were asked to hold down a button, either “short” or “long”, to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen. Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later. These results suggest that images aren’t just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time, a well-established effect. Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven’t. This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects. The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster. They help the brain process more information in a limited time. This is especially relevant (有关的) to the brain’s visual system. With limited resources, the visual areas have to set priorities. In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery, however. For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To prove an opinion. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To challenge a viewpoint. D. To introduce a new finding. 13. Why did the team conduct the experiments? A. To perceive memorable images. B. To categorize the length of time. C. To know the secret of time perception. D. To test the memory of the participants. 14. According to Wiener, what’s the underlying cause of some images being more memorable? A. They have limited resources. B. They contain more information. C. They are looked at for a longer time. D. They are easy for the brain to process. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Memory relies on visual aids. B. Faster processing makes time fly. C. Resources influence time perception. D. Memorable things make time slow down. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Who wouldn’t want to be an “insight machine”? But a fact and a misunderstanding might get in your way. Fact: ____16____ Misunderstanding: You feel as if creativity is a luxury (难得的享受) intended for people with hours to burn. Here is how to develop creative insight even when you are in busy lives. Find time to play. ____17____ Studies suggest that play at work boosts creative behavior and problem-solving abilities. Laughter and light-hearted activities, either a quick team game or a playful brainstorming session have been shown to inspire creativity, which is essential for innovation. ____18____ A creative idea probably doesn’t happen when you are buried in a task. Instead, it comes to you while you are doing something relatively “mindless.” Being extremely focused can actually be harmful to innovative thinking. So, you can bake into your workflow brief periods of “unfocus” and daydreaming. But here’s an important warning: ____19____Scrolling (滚动) mindlessly on a screen actually weakens this effect. So, when you take a daydream break, leave your device behind. Do something with your hands. Ever notice how ideas tend to pop into your head when you’re doing something like washing dishes or gardening? When your hands are busy, your mind can enter a state of relaxed focus, which allows subconscious (潜意识的) ideas to bubble up to the surface.____20____ So the next time you feel uninspired, remember: You don’t need hours of quiet time to innovate. Sometimes, all it takes is a little fun, a little space, and a little time to let your hands lead your mind. A. Take time to daydream. B. You’re likely pressed for time. C. Take advantage of your electronic devices. D. Don’t daydream with your device. E. Creativity doesn’t always require long, undisturbed periods of time. F. Engaging in brief, playful activities can lead to serious breakthroughs. G. Find small moments throughout the day to engage in a hands-on activity. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ever since I was little, the doctors told my parents that someday I would need hearing aids.

I could imagine how strange I’d look — my classmates would laugh at me, and even my teachers, my friends would be ____29____ at me! “Can’t wear that, Mom; I’ll look like Lobot!” I complained. “Lobot?” The ear doctor smiled as he looked at the headphones and made some ____30____ . “The Empire Strikes Back? The bald guy?” “You know Star Wars stuff?” I asked. “Hey, Lobot’s cool,” said he, ____31____ the earphones on my head carefully. “There you go. So how’s that?” “It’s so quiet in my ears and I don’t hear that noise anymore! Thanks so much, Dr. James!” I answered ____32____. The first day I showed up at school with the hearing aids, I thought kids would make a big ____33____ about it. But no one did. Now that I look back, I don’t know why I was so ____34____ about it all this time. Funny how sometimes you worry a lot about something and it turns out to be ____35____ . 21.

For many researchers, disappearing soundscapes (音景) are ____43____ source of sorrow as well as of ____44____ (science) interest. “It’s a sad thing to be doing, but it’s also enabling me to tell a story about the beauty of nature,” said Pijanowski. “As a scientist I have trouble explaining what biodiversity is, _______45_______ that’s no longer a problem if I play a recording and say these are the voices of this place.” 第三节 单词填空 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 请认真阅读下列各小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母或中文的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致。 46.

Then they made good natural fertilizer (肥料) before starting growing food. Today, Growing Power Community Food Center is growing enough food to feed people in the neighborhood. In the winter, the compost gives off enough heat to keep the greenhouses warm as it breaks down into soil. Goats, chickens, and turkeys live behind the greenhouses. Red-eyed fish are swimming in aquariums (水族箱) at the center of the greenhouses. The fish are for eating, but they also help the plants grow. The water they swim in, enriched by the fish droppings, is channeled toward the pots containing vegetables. Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water. “We don’t waste anything here,” Will says. “The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people. You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top. Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down. By the time the water returns to the fish on the bottom floor, it’s clean again.” Will says, “Growing food is powerful and it can change the world!” 4. Why did Will decide to grow food in Milwaukee? A. To enable people to eat better. B. To make some profits by farming. C. To build a harmonious community. D. To transform the desert into a farm. 5. What do we know about Will’s food centre? A. It works like a forest and wastes nothing. B. It is a greenhouse and provides heat in winter. C. It is a city farm and employs chemical fertilizers. D. It collects conventional soil and uses animal waste. 6. Which of the following can best describe Will? A. Thoughtful and faithful. B. Adventurous and generous. C. Creative and ambitious. D. Humorous and farsighted. 7. What is Will talking about in the last paragraph? A. The procedure of water cleaning. B. The influence of vertical farming. C. The vision for future city farming. D. The description of a future building. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7.

Then it is cleaned by other plants, and returned to the fish tank as pure water. “We don’t waste anything here,” Will says. (他们通过堆肥“种植”新的土壤，这意味着收集食物垃圾并将其堆放起来，直到它分解并变成土壤。然后，在开始种植食物之前，他们制作了优质的天然肥料。今天，成长力量社区食品中心正在种植足够的食物来养活附近的人们。在冬天，堆肥分解成土壤时会释放出足够的热量来保持温室的温暖。山羊、鸡和火鸡住在温室后面。红眼鱼在温室中心的水族馆里游泳。鱼是用来吃的，但它们也有助于植物生长。它们游泳的水被鱼粪富集，被引导到装有蔬菜的锅里。然后，它被其他植物清洗，并作为纯净水返回鱼缸。威尔说：“我们在这里什么都不浪费。”。)”可知，威尔的食物中心通过堆肥制造新土壤、利用鱼的粪便为植物提供养分、水循环利用等，可知这个食物中心的运作就像一个森林生态系统一样，没有任何浪费。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Driving home from work, Will spotted a For Sale sign on the last remaining farm in the city of Milwaukee. An idea flashed through Will’s head. He could grow food here. (威尔下班开车回家，在密尔沃基市最后一个农场上看到了一个待售标志。威尔脑海中闪过一个念头。他可以在这里种植粮食。)”可知，威尔看到城市里最后的农场，就想到种植食物来改善社区人们的饮食，这体现了他的创造力；根据文章最后一段““The city farm of the future is a multi-storied building, angled toward the sun. This idea, called ‘vertical (垂直的) farming’, is a new way to feed more people. You grow fish on the bottom floor and pump the water up to the top. Then the water is piped down from floor to floor, through beds of growing plants, ranging from leafy greens up high to mushrooms lower down.

Sridhar Narayanan, a professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, said, “I am interested in weight loss apps. They are less costly than hiring human coaches. By tapping into users’ private health data like goal setting and food intake logs, AI can give guidance to users. However, I am not sure about their effects. Given that weight loss journeys may bring emotions like shame, anxiety and frustration, can technology be as effective as a live person in helping customers in this aspect?” To find out more, Narayanan compared data from customers who only used weight loss apps with those who used AI paired with human coaches. He found that on average, people using weight loss apps lost about 1.5% of their starting body weight, compared to 2.7% for those with AI-plus human plans. “To explain the result, I also looked into the users. Customers who picked human coaching tended to set higher weight loss goals and logged their weight and food intake more frequently. Customers may also feel more responsible for their actions when being supervised (监督) by a live person. It takes more efforts and courage to cancel a training session than to ignore an AI-generated notification on your phone. Being firm and tough may be more effective than offering emotional comforts in terms of being a fitness coach,” Narayanan said. More research into human coaching versus AI is likely on the horizon. Next, Narayanan will focus on app users who are tracking and getting coaching for serious health issues like diabetes (糖尿病). Finding a way to measure how effectively technology helps customers deal with their overall health could make AI-driven health monitoring more valuable for the tech industry. People are paying more attention to their health and experts in fitness training are rare and lacking. The demand for AI coaching is growing and every technology company is trying very hard to cut a slice of the cake. 8. According to Paragraph 2, what did Narayanan think of weight loss apps? A. They are more expensive. B. They lack emotional comfort. C. They may give wrong guidance. D. They may give away private information. 9. Why are AI-plus-human plans effective? A. Human coaches can offer advice on users’ diet. B. Human coaches can help users set achievable goals. C. Human coaches are more responsible for users’ plans. D. Human coaches can provide strict guidance and supervision. 10. What can we learn about the market of AI coaching in the last paragraph? A. AI coaching is less effective than human coaching for serious health conditions. B. Tech companies will be quite interested in expanding their presence in the market. C. The demand for AI coaching is declining as fitness experts become more available. D. Measuring technology’s impact on health is unnecessary for tech industry’s success. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Technology can monitor human health B. AI-powered apps can help you lose weight C. AI-powered fitness coaches have become popular D. Combining human and AI-powered coaching works better 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍人工智能在健身教练领域的应用，探讨了AI与人类教练在帮助客户减肥方面的效果对比，并展望了未来可能的研究方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段所说的Narayanan“Given that weight loss journeys may bring emotions like shame, anxiety and frustration, can technology be as effective as a live person in helping customers in this aspect?(考虑到减肥之旅可能会带来羞耻、焦虑和沮丧等情绪，技术能否像真人一样在这方面有效地帮助客户呢？)”可知，他认为减肥过程中涉及的情感因素（如羞耻、焦虑和沮丧）是技术无法完全替代的。由此可知，他认为减肥应用缺乏情感安慰。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段““To explain the result, I also looked into the users. Customers who picked human coaching tended to set higher weight loss goals and logged their weight and food intake more frequently. Customers may also feel more responsible for their actions when being supervised (监督) by a live person. It takes more efforts and courage to cancel a training session than to ignore an AI-generated notification on your phone. Being firm and tough may be more effective than offering emotional comforts in terms of being a fitness coach,” Narayanan said.(“为了解释这一结果，我还研究了用户。选择人类教练的客户往往设定了更高的减肥目标，并且更频繁地记录体重和食物摄入。当与真人交流时，客户可能会对自己的行为感到更有责任感。取消一次训练课程比忽略手机上的AI生成的通知需要更多的努力和勇气。在健身教练方面，坚定和严格可能比提供情感安慰更有效，”Narayanan说。)”可知，Narayanan认为AI-plus-human计划之所以有效，是因为坚定和严格可能比提供情感安慰更有效，也就是说人类教练可以提供严格的指导和监督。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“People are paying more attention to their health and experts in fitness training are rare and lacking. The demand for AI coaching is growing and every technology company is trying very hard to cut a slice of the cake.(人们越来越关注自己的健康，而从事健身训练的专家却少之又少。对人工智能培训的需求正在增长，每家科技公司都在非常努力地分一杯羹)”可知，科技公司将对扩大在市场上的存在感兴趣。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要探讨了人工智能（AI）在健身和健康监测中的应用，并通过对比AI和人类教练在帮助客户减肥方面的效果，强调了人类教练的重要性。尽管AI驱动的健身应用在某些方面提供了便利，但文章指出，人类教练在设定更高目标、增强责任感以及提供情感支持等方面具有独特优势。选项D“人和人工智能相结合的教练效果更好”最准确地反映了文章的中心思想，即尽管有AI驱动的健身应用，但人们仍然需要人类教练来提供情感支持、增强责任感等方面的帮助。故选D。 D A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology. “There are a lot of illusions (错觉) of time,” says Martin Wiener, a scientist at George Mason University. Recently, his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer, and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable. Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones. The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects. To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. They were asked to hold down a button, either “short” or “long”, to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen. Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later. These results suggest that images aren’t just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time a well-established effect. Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven’t. This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects. The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster. They help the brain process more information in a limited time. This is especially relevant (有关的) to the brain’s visual system. With limited resources, the visual areas have to set priorities. In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery, however. For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To prove an opinion. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To challenge a viewpoint. D. To introduce a new finding. 13. Why did the team conduct the experiments? A. To perceive memorable images. B. To categorize the length of time. C. To know the secret of time perception. D. To test the memory of the participants. 14. According to Wiener, what’s the underlying cause of some images being more memorable? A. They have limited resources. B. They contain more information. C. They are looked at for a longer time. D. They are easy for the brain to process. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Memory relies on visual aids. B. Faster processing makes time fly. C. Resources influence time perception. D. Memorable things make time slow down. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对时间感知的错觉及其与记忆之间的关系。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段中提到“A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. (常言道，心急水不开，快乐时光易逝。这些耳熟能详的说法有着坚实的科学基础——我们对时间的感知会根据我们体验周围世界的方式而延长或缩短)”可知，第一段通过两个俗语引出了文章的主题——人们对时间的感知是有科学依据的。因此，第一段的作用是引入一个新的发现或观点，即人们对时间的感知是有科学依据的，并且会受到我们经历方式的影响。所以D选项“To introduce a new finding(引入一个新的发现)”符合题意。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. (为了了解图像的可记忆性与我们的时间感之间的关系，研究小组进行了四个实验，向参与者展示了不同时间长度的图像)”可知，团队进行实验的目的是为了理解图像的易记性如何与我们的时间感知相关。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. (换句话说，令人难忘的图像之所以令人难忘，是因为它们对我们的系统来说很容易处理)”可知，Wiener认为一些图像更容易被记住的根本原因是它们容易被我们的大脑处理。因此，选项D“They are easy for the brain to process(它们很容易被大脑处理)”符合题意。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science—our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology.( 这些再熟悉不过的说法有坚实的科学依据——我们对时间的感知取决于我们体验周围世界的方式。这不仅仅是时间流逝的一般印象。这与心理学也有很大关系)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了人们对时间感知的错觉，特别是与记忆深刻的图像相关的错觉，以及科学家对此进行的研究。文中提到，记忆深刻的图像会让人感觉时间持续得更长，且这些图像更容易被记住。因此，选项D“Memorable things make time slow down(值得纪念的事情会让时间慢下来)”最能概括文章的主旨，即记忆深刻的事物会让时间感觉变慢。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Who wouldn’t want to be an “insight machine”? But a fact and a misunderstanding might get in your way. Fact: ____16____ Misunderstanding: You feel as if creativity is a luxury (难得的享受) intended for people with hours to burn. Here is how to develop creative insight even when you are in busy lives. Find time to play. ____17____ Studies suggest that play at work boosts creative behavior and problem-solving abilities. Laughter and light-hearted activities, either a quick team game or a playful brainstorming session have been shown to inspire creativity, which is essential for innovation. ____18____ A creative idea probably doesn’t happen when you are buried in a task. Instead, it comes to you while you are doing something relatively “mindless.” Being extremely focused can actually be harmful to innovative thinking. So, you can bake into your workflow brief periods of “unfocus” and daydreaming. But here’s an important warning: ____19____Scrolling (滚动) mindlessly on a screen actually weakens this effect. So, when you take a daydream break, leave your device behind. Do something with your hands. Ever notice how ideas tend to pop into your head when you’re doing something like washing dishes or gardening? When your hands are busy, your mind can enter a state of relaxed focus, which allows subconscious (潜意识的) ideas to bubble up to the surface.____20____ So the next time you feel uninspired, remember: You don’t need hours of quiet time to innovate. Sometimes, all it takes is a little fun, a little space, and a little time to let your hands lead your mind. A. Take time to daydream. B. You’re likely pressed for time. C. Take advantage of your electronic devices. D. Don’t daydream with your device. E. Creativity doesn’t always require long, undisturbed periods of time. F. Engaging in brief, playful activities can lead to serious breakthroughs. G. Find small moments throughout the day to engage in a hands-on activity. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些如何在忙碌的生活中培养创造性洞察力的方法。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Misunderstanding: You feel as if creativity is a luxury (难得的享受) intended for people with hours to burn.( 误解：你觉得创造力是一种奢侈品，专为有时间的人准备的)”可知，根据误解“你感觉创造力似乎是只有那些有大把时间可以挥霍的人才能享受的奢侈品”，可推断出与之相对的事实是人们往往时间紧迫，B项You’re likely pressed for time.( 你可能时间紧迫。)可知，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 此段主旨是“Find time to play.( 找时间玩耍)”可知，空处内容应与玩耍有关。F选项Engaging in brief, playful activities can lead to serious breakthroughs.( 参与简短、有趣的活动可以带来重大突破)与主旨相符，说明玩对创造力的积极作用，同时引起下文“Studies suggest that play at work boosts creative behavior and problem-solving abilities.( 研究表明，在工作中玩耍可以提高创造性行为和解决问题的能力)”。故选F项。 【18题详解】 由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。根据下文“A creative idea probably doesn’t happen when you are buried in a task. Instead, it comes to you while you are doing something relatively “mindless.” Being extremely focused can actually be harmful to innovative thinking. So, you can bake into your workflow brief periods of “unfocus” and daydreaming.( 当你埋头于一项任务时，一个创造性的想法可能不会发生。相反，它是在你做一些相对“无意识”的事情时出现的。过于专注实际上对创新思维是有害的。所以，你可以在你的工作流程中加入短暂的“不专注”和白日梦)”可知，此段主要讲要花时间做白日梦，A选项Take time to daydream.( 花点时间做白日梦)总结该段内容。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Scrolling (滚动) mindlessly on a screen actually weakens this effect. So, when you take a daydream break, leave your device behind.( 无意识地在屏幕上滚动实际上削弱了这种效果。所以，当你在做白日梦的时候，把你的电子设备留在身后)”可知，在屏幕上无意识滚动会削弱白日梦的效果，所以做白日梦时不要带着电子设备，D选项Don’t daydream with your device.( 不要对着你的设备做白日梦)符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 此段主旨是“Do something with your hands.( 用你的手做些事情)”，因此空处内容应与动手活动有关。G选项Find small moments throughout the day to engage in a hands-on activity.( 在一天中找一些小时间参与动手活动) 符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Ever since I was little, the doctors told my parents that someday I would need hearing aids.

A 2021 study of 200, 000 sites across North America and Europe found widespread ____37____ (lose) of acoustic diversity over the past 25 years, ____38____ (drive) by changes in species richness. “Today, when ____39____ (expose) to some ecosystems, we hear nothing but total silence,” said Prof Steve Simpson from the University of Bristol. “It feels like a race ____40____ time — we’ve only just discovered that they make such sounds, but now the sounds are disappearing.” “Indeed, the sounds of the past that have been recorded represent the sounds of species ____41____ might no longer be here, and we don’t even know ____42____ those species are.” said Prof Bryan Pijanowski from Purdue University. For many researchers, disappearing soundscapes (音景) are ____43____ source of sorrow as well as of ____44____ (science) interest. “It’s a sad thing to be doing, but it’s also enabling me to tell a story about the beauty of nature,” said Pijanowski. “As a scientist I have trouble explaining what biodiversity is, _______45_______ that’s no longer a problem if I play a recording and say these are the voices of this place.” 【答案】36. destruction 37. loss 38. driven 39. exposed 40. against 41. which##that 42. what 43. a 44. scientific 45. but 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出专家警告称，若不立即采取行动阻止环境破坏，自然界的声音正迅速消失，将变成“声音化石”。 【36题详解】 考查名词。句意：专家警告称，如果不立即采取行动阻止环境破坏，自然界的声音正迅速变得寂静，将变成“声音化石”。提示词作宾语，用名词destruction，意为“破坏”，不可数名词。故填destruction。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：2021年一项对北美和欧洲20万个地点的研究发现，在过去25年里，由于物种丰富度的变化，声音多样性普遍丧失。提示词作宾语，用名词loss，意为“失去，丧失”，不可数名词。故填loss。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：2021年一项对北美和欧洲20万个地点的研究发现，在过去25年里，由于物种丰富度的变化，声音多样性普遍丧失。此处为后置定语，drive(驱动；推动)与其逻辑主语loss of acoustic diversity之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填driven。 【39题详解】 考查状语从句的省略。句意：布里斯托大学的史蒂夫·辛普森教授说：“如今，当我们置身于一些生态系统中时，除了一片寂静，我们什么也听不到。”在when等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。句中“when (expose) to some ecosystems”是时间状语从句，原句为“when we are exposed to some ecosystems”，符合状语从句省略条件，省略we are后，应保留过去分词exposed。故填exposed。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：这感觉就像一场与时间的赛跑——我们刚刚发现它们能发出这样的声音，但现在这些声音正在消失。race against time是固定短语，意为“与时间赛跑”。故填against。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：普渡大学的布莱恩·皮亚诺夫斯基教授说：“事实上，过去记录下来的声音代表了那些可能已经不复存在的物种的声音，而我们甚至不知道那些物种是什么。”“_____ might no longer be here”是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词species，指物，关系词将其代入从句中作主语，用关系代词which或that引导从句。故填which/that。 【42题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：普渡大学的布莱恩·皮亚诺夫斯基教授说：“事实上，过去记录下来的声音代表了那些可能已经不复存在的物种的声音，而我们甚至不知道那些物种是什么。”“_____ those species are”是宾语从句，从句中缺少表语，结合语境，表示“(那些物种是)什么”，用连接代词what引导从句。故填what。 【43题详解】 考查冠词。句意：对许多研究人员来说，正在消失的音景既是悲伤的来源，也是科学兴趣的来源。可数名词source在句中表示“一种来源”，泛指，且source发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：对许多研究人员来说，正在消失的音景既是悲伤的来源，也是科学兴趣的来源。提示词修饰名词interest，用形容词scientific作定语，意为“科学的”。故填scientific。 【45题详解】 考查连词。句意：作为一名科学家，我很难解释生物多样性是什么，但如果我播放一段录音，说这些是这个地方的声音，那就不再是问题了。前后句是转折关系，用连词but连接。故填but。 第三节 单词填空 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 请认真阅读下列各小题，并根据上下文语境和所给首字母或中文的提示，写出下列各句空格中的单词，注意保持语义和形式的一致。 46.

To safeguard our oceans, immediate action is essential. First and foremost, public awareness must be raised to highlight serious consequences of ocean destruction and the urgent need for conservation. Additionally, every individual can contribute by taking small but meaningful steps, ranging from reducing our use of single-use plastics to participating in beach clean-up activities. Furthermore, governments and organizations must establish stricter laws and regulations to prevent the discharge of wastewater and poisonous chemicals into the ocean. Our oceans are a priceless treasure, and protecting them is a shared responsibility. Let us act now—for a healthier planet and a sustainable future for generations to come. With joint efforts, we can make a big difference. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文写作中的倡议书。要求考生以“Our Oceans, Our Future”为题，写一份英文倡议书，呼吁大家保护海洋。 【详解】1.词汇积累 由于：due to→ because of 重要性：significance→ importance 首先：first and foremost→ first of all 此外：additionally→ in addition 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Known as the lungs of our planet, the oceans play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, serving as a vital source of food and economic activity for millions of people worldwide. 拓展句：Known as the lungs of our planet, the oceans play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance, which serve as a vital source of food and economic activity for millions of people worldwide. 【点睛】【高分句型1】As we approach June 8th, World Oceans Day, I appeal to us all to confront a pressing issue: ocean pollution.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Due to uncontrolled waste discharge and human activities, the oceans are suffering from severe pollution, which not only harms marine life but also threatens human health and global climate.（运用了which引导的定语从句） 第二节 微场景写作 (满分15分) 57. 一天，斯奎特在树林间玩耍时遇见了一群灰松鼠。他迟疑片刻后，突然在枝桠间欢快地蹦跳(bounce)起来，像是在热情地向新朋友打招呼。我们屏息凝神地望着这一幕，凯特琳(Kaytline)轻声呢喃(murmur)：“要是他们不喜欢他怎么办?”所幸灰松鼠一家——尤其是幼崽们——热情接纳了斯奎特，围着他舔舐皮毛(lick his fur)轻挠肚皮(tickle his belly)。很快，他们就欢快地在枝头追逐嬉戏起来。“真是好孩子!”凯特琳长舒一口气。此后数日，斯奎特和新朋友们形影不离，每天回来的时间也变得越来越晚。 One day , while playing in the trees , Squirt met a family of gray squirrels . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day , while playing in the trees , Squirt met a family of gray squirrels . After a moment of hesitation, he bounced up and down in the trees as if greeting the new friends cheerfully.
