B Pets may seem like something that is expensive and enjoyable but not necessary. In return for a lifetime of food and love and healthcare, they don’t seem to offer anything of practical value. When was the last time you saw a chihuahua helping a farmer in a field? Or a golden retriever unloading groceries from the car? So what do pets really give us? Well, that depends on who you ask. It turns out, some people may like animals by nature---likely because animals first tricked their way into our ancestors’ lives by offering a very real service. Somewhere between 15,000 and 5,000 years ago, humans started domesticating animals. Keeping them from breeding with their wild animals was necessary since it would have slowed down animal husbandry. So, to make sure the wild stayed wild---and the domestic stayed domestic---a fortunate few animals were allowed to live indoors and more closely alongside humans. Eventually those protected animals did what animals do: They formed a close relationship with people. Groups which included people with an understanding of animals and animal keeping would have developed quickly at the expense of those without; these latter groups would have had to continue to rely on hunting to get meat. The very same genes that today make some people more likely to take on their first cat or dog would have spread among those early farmers. So what started as humans valuing a real service provided by animals---guarding crops, farming, providing food---may have, over time, become an appreciation for animals in general. Maybe that’s why efforts to create mechanical friends, like Sony’s robotic dog Aibo, have yet to become popular. It may walk like a dog and bark like a dog and even, roughly, look like a dog. But our genes tell us it isn’t a dog. Will we be able to appreciate and bond with this creature the way our ancestors did with real animals? It’s hard to imagine even the most space-age cyberdog being able to learn that very old trick. 24. What helped animals domestication? A. Keeping wild and domestic animals apart. B. Forming a close connection with all animals. C. Making sure the wild stayed domestic. D. Allowing more animals to live indoors. 25. What happened to the animal-keeping people later? A. They created robotic dogs. B. They depended on hunting. C. They had a stable food supply. D. They quit keeping animals. 26. Why are robotic dogs unpopular? A. They are unable to play tricks. B. They don’t truly connect with humans. C. They don’t really behave like dogs. D. They are very unfriendly to humans. 27. Which of the following can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A. Health. B. Population. C. Growth. D. Domestication. C More than 20 years ago, Yung-Chi Cheng, a Yale professor in drug development for cancer, had a pioneering idea: what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating cancer? What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work better? No one had done it before. Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course, because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too risky. But Cheng didn’t let the idea go. Now, in a landmark moment in cancer research, Cheng and research partners are launching the first international clinical trial for a botanical drug, YIV-906. Shwu-Hucy Liu, a postdoctoral researcher in Cheng’s Yale lab, spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale’s library seeking the properties of Chinese herbs. She returned with Huang Qin Tang, a 1,800-year-old treatment for stomach illnesses, based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one thousand mice. What followed were years of additional testing of the drug’s effectiveness for a range of cancers in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients. The positive effects displayed again and again, YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment, but also led to faster recovery and longer survival rates. All they need now are larger data sets. When the results of the international trial are available about three years from now, YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs developed from natural products, which includes a malaria (疟疾) treatment developed from the Chinese herb qinghao, the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou. It has been a long journey, but if Cheng and his team are successful, it could create a new approach for treating cancer. They called the new approach “WE” medicine, a combination of Western medicine and Eastern medicine. “It’s a totally new model. I’ve met with a lot of doubt, but think the results will speak for themselves,” Cheng said. 28. What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng’s research? A. Creative. B. Comprehensive. C. Conventional. D. Challenging. 29. Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts? A. She wanted to question ancient treatment methods. B. She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases. C. She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs. D. She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses. 30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of the drug testing. B. The application of YIV-906. C. Effects of the clinical trial. D. The effectiveness of YIY-906. 31. Why does the author mention Chinese herb qinghao? A. To illustrate the value of botanical drugs. B. To advocate the adoption of “WE” medicine. C. To praise Tu’s contributions to drug development. D. To highlight its success in medicine development. D Decision fatigue is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices. 32. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 33. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 34. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 35. Why do the mentioned figures simplify their daily routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To save mental energy for crucial tasks. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances. 第二节 七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Will AI Replace Teachers? The AI teacher is also known as the mechanical teacher. ____36____ It’s a computer or machine that can teach a student according to the level it’s programmed to teach. While the thought of a reliable computer teaching your child might seem promising, AI cannot adapt its teaching to its students during mid-lesson or read its students’ emotions as a human teacher can. ____37____ It also cannot inspire its students as a human teacher can. The biggest benefit of the human teacher is that he or she gives students human connections they need. There are some who believe that teachers will be completely replaced by robots by the year 2027. Human teachers do carry with them some disadvantages. Some teachers can be of poor character. Others can have a compromising character or not be as knowledgeable about particular subjects as they should be. ____38____ If you ask anyone the top qualities of a good teacher, AI cannot meet these standards. They include friendly attitude, listening skills, respectful attitude, strong work ethic, patience, discipline skills, and so forth. AI cannot replace teachers. ____39____ Students long for the student-teacher bond, cooperation, and love. ____40____ It makes the human teacher’s job easier and helps him or her to be more efficient. This added efficiency allows him or her the time he or she needs to work more one-on-one with students to provide more adaptability and understanding for them. The two things are what an AI teacher would struggle to provide. A. It is exactly what it sounds like. B. AI cannot give a child what he or she needs. C. However, this does not mean that AI is not necessary. D. Frankly speaking, students have their own disadvantages, too. E. Luckily, the good news is that AI shows more respect for teachers. F. These drawbacks can be corrected, though, through proper monitoring. G. It fails to simplify problems students have unless it’s programmed to do so. 第三部分 语言运用（共二节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Mysha decided to improve her fitness in late 2019, taking up running was a no-brainer.

Despite the city’s promise of opportunities, he struggled with a low-paying job and high expenses. Every month felt like a battle to make ends meet. He missed the warmth of Mr. Thompson’s old house, where every tenant (租户) felt like family and Mr. Thompson treated each tenant with constant kindness. One cool autumn day, as Jack sorted through his mail, mostly consisting of bills and advertisements, a plain white envelope caught his eye. The return address belonged to Mr. Thompson. Heart pounding with curiosity, Jack tore it open. Inside, a check for $2,500 and a handwritten note fell into his hands. “Dear Jack, I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve recently sold the old house, and it felt only right to share a portion of the proceeds with those who made it a home. Over the years, watching young people like you grow and pursue their dreams has been my greatest reward. Your presence brought joy and warmth to our community. I wish you all the best. Warm regards, Thompson” Jack’s eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. This unexpected windfall was more than just money-it was a lifeline, a ray of hope in his struggles. The gesture reminded him of all the times Mr. Thompson had shown similar kindness to his tenants, from helping with repairs to offering wise advice during difficult times. The check trembled in Jack’s hand. It could fix everything, he thought-the unpaid rent, the empty fridge, and the endless fear. But his chest tightened. Memories of his father’s lectures echoed: “Never depend on others. Stand on your own.” Jack had promised to prove himself in the city, yet here he was, drowning. Mr. Thompson’s words warmed him, but doubt crept in. Was it a charity case? He needed answers-not from the money, but from the man who sent it. Jack paced, the check glaring from the table. He imagined Mr. Thompson’s kind eyes. This isn’t pity, Jack reasoned. It’s... thanks. 注意: (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案： 听力：1-5 CBABA 6-10 BACAB 11-15 CCABC 16-20 AACAB 阅读理解：21-23 CCD 24-27 ACBD 28-31 DBDA 32-35 DBCB 7选5：36-40 AGFBC 完形填空：41-45 ACBAD 46-50 BCDDB 51-55 BCADA 56. have doubled 57. and 58. in 59. increasingly 60.cutting 61. consumption 62. to control 63.an 64. that/which 65. global 66. be castles in the air 67. at the expense of 68. in the family’s possession 69.

With each step towards Mr. Thompson’s new abode, Jack’s heart beat faster, anticipation and gratitude swirling within him. Standing outside the door, Jack took a deep breath, preparing himself to face the man who had changed his life with a simple act of kindness. 第二段衔接句： After the heart - warming conversation with Mr. Thompson, Jack sat down and seriously pondered how to make the best use of this unexpected fortune. With a new - found sense of purpose, Jack walked into the bank, determined to start his journey of self - improvement with the money in his hand. As Jack enrolled in the courses, he couldn’t help but think of Mr. Thompson’s words, which served as a constant source of motivation. 主旨升华句 第一段主旨升华句： This encounter with Mr. Thompson not only deepened Jack’s gratitude but also taught him the true meaning of kindness, that it is a cycle that enriches both the giver and the receiver. Through this meeting, Jack realized that the kindness he had received in the old house was not just a random act but a reflection of a community bound by love and mutual respect. Mr. Thompson’s gesture and their conversation became a turning point in Jack’s life, making him understand that sometimes, accepting help with grace is the first step towards paying it forward. The visit to Mr. Thompson reminded Jack that the warmth of a community is not built on the bricks of a house but on the kindness and compassion of its people. This face - to - face gratitude - expressing experience made Jack see that the legacy of the old house was not in its physical structure but in the kindness it nurtured and the memories it created. 第二段主旨升华句： Jack’s journey from a struggling young man to a self - reliant professional, thanks to Mr. Thompson’s gift, was a powerful testament to the transformative power of kindness and wise choices. By using the money to better himself, Jack not only overcame his immediate financial difficulties but also set a precedent for himself to always strive for self - improvement and independence. Jack’s success story showed that when kindness is combined with self - determination, it can open doors to a brighter future, not only for oneself but also for others who may be inspired by it. His experience taught him that the best way to honor the kindness he received was to use it as a catalyst for positive change in his life and to be ready to extend a helping hand to others in the future. Jack’s transformation was a vivid example of how a single act of kindness can set off a chain reaction, leading to personal growth, self - reliance, and a commitment to spreading kindness in the world. 写作示范 写作示范一 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. As he boarded the plane, memories of Mr. Thompson’s kind deeds flooded his mind. Once he arrived, he rushed to Mr. Thompson’s new home. Standing at the door, his heart pounded with excitement. “Mr. Thompson,” Jack exclaimed, his eyes shining with gratitude, “I can’t thank you enough for this.” Mr. Thompson welcomed him with a warm smile, saying, “Jack, it’s my way of saying thanks to all of you who made the old house a special place.” They spent hours chatting, reminiscing about the old times when neighbors helped each other and shared their joys and sorrows. Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. First, he paid off his debts and stocked his fridge. Then, he signed up for online courses to enhance his skills. With new confidence, he updated his resume and started applying for better jobs. The job - hunting process was tough, but he persevered. Finally, after months of hard work, he landed a well - paying position. Jack was proud that he had used the money as a springboard to stand on his own feet. He also decided to volunteer at a local community center, believing that giving back was the best way to repay the kindness he had received. 写作示范二 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. As Jack made his way to Mr. Thompson’s new place, he felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. When he finally saw Mr. Thompson, he choked back tears and said, “Mr. Thompson, this check means the world to me.” Mr. Thompson patted him on the shoulder, saying, “You all were like family to me. I just wanted to share my good fortune.” They sat on the porch, talking about the old house, the laughter that once filled it, and the friendships that had been formed there. Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. He paid off his overdue bills and bought some new clothes for job interviews. Then, he used part of the money to attend workshops related to his field. With new knowledge and a positive attitude, he started networking and applying for jobs. It wasn’t easy, but he refused to give up. Eventually, he got a job offer from a prestigious company. Jack was overjoyed. He realized that Mr. Thompson’s gift had not only helped him financially but also motivated him to strive for a better life. He promised himself to always remember the kindness and to help those in need whenever he could. 【参考范文】 Anyway, Jack was determined to express his gratitude in person. He carefully placed the check in his wallet and set out for Mr. Thompson’s new address. When he arrived, Mr. Thompson greeted him warmly, inviting him in. Jack’s voice trembled as he thanked Mr. Thompson for the generous gift. “It’s more than just money to me,” Jack said, eyes welling up. “It’s hope.” Mr. Thompson smiled, patting Jack’s shoulder. “You deserve it, Jack. You’ve always been a good tenant and a kind person. I believe in you.” Jack left with a lighter heart, feeling more grateful than ever. Inspired by Mr. Thompson’s words, Jack knew what to do next. He returned home and sat down to make a plan. He decided to use part of the money to pay off his debts and buy groceries. But the rest, he would save. He realized that Mr. Thompson’s kindness wasn’t just a handout — it was a vote of confidence. Jack vowed to work harder, find a better job, and one day, pay it forward. He looked at the check, now a symbol of hope and belief, and smiled. He knew he could do it. With renewed determination, Jack set out to build a brighter future for himself.
