C 【解析】 【原文】 It’s quite incredible how a simple hobby can turn into a fulfilling and successful career. I want to share my journey with you, starting from my love for photography. I used to take pictures of landscapes and people during my free time. It was my way of capturing life’s beautiful moments and expressing my creativity. Little did I expect that this passion would lead to a career. Over time, I improved my skills by experimenting with various techniques and attending photography workshops. Friends and family began to notice my talent and asked me to photograph their events. This was the turning point. I started doing small jobs like capturing weddings, parties, and special moments. Word of mouth quickly spread, and soon, I was in demand as a photographer. As my client base expanded, so did my confidence and ambition. I realized I could turn my hobby into a full-time career. However, this journey had its challenges. The pressure of delivering perfect photos, the irregular income, and the competition in the photography world tested my patience. Now, I’ve established my own photography business, specializing in portrait photography. I’ve traveled to beautiful places, met wonderful people, and captured countless unforgettable moments. My future plans include exploring new types of photography, teaching ambitious photographers, and continuing to find new ways to tell domestic stories through my camera. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A With the growing popularity of the TV series Blossoms Shanghai, key scenes presenting city areas in the show have become the hottest tourist attractions in Shanghai of late. The narrator in the TV series Blossoms Shanghai points out: “In 1993, the 755-meter-long Huanghe Road had over 100 restaurants, attracting countless wealthy diners each night.” Starting from Huanghe Road and crossing Nanjing Road to the Bund, you’ll pass by many scenic spots often filmed in the series: ·Wing On Department Store The prototype (原型) of Hu Lian Department Store in the TV series was Hua Lian Department Store between 1988 and 2006.

(作为外滩建筑群中的重要建筑之一，同时也是中国重点文物保护单位，这座建筑曾为怡和洋行所有，后来多年间一直作为上海对外贸易局的办公楼使用)”和“Address: No 27 East Zhongshan Road, Huangpu district.(地址：黄浦区中山东路27号)”可知，No 27 The Bund是外滩建筑群的重要建筑之一和全国重点文物保护单位，如果你对建筑感兴趣的话可以去参观此地。D项是No 27 The Bund的具体地址。故选D。 B Late one night in July 2020, Halli was walking around Reykjavik’s main shopping street with his family. They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag (时差). When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, Halli faced a problem: a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store. This was not new to Halli, who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease. As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. In 2021, he launched Ramp (斜坡) Up Reykjavik, a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city’s downtown within a year. Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. With government funding and sponsors, the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide. By 2026, the team plans to build 1,500 ramps across Iceland, costing about 400 million Icelandic krona. Iceland’s president praised the project, saying, “We want our society to be inclusive. Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together.” In just three years, Halli has become a local hero, known as a “kind tech giant”. He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. “Equal access is not a reality yet,” he says, “but change starts with one person.” 24. What inspired Halli to start the ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ project? A. The lack of wheelchair access. B. His son’s difficulty in finding a drink. C. A suggestion from Iceland’s president. D. His desire to become famous in Iceland. 25. How are the ramps built by ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ different from those in other cities? A. They are cheap to construct. B. They are only built in downtown. C. They are temporary and movable. D. They look fitted with the buildings forever. 26. Which of the following best describes Halli? A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic. C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering. 27. What dose Halli expect people to do about equal access? A. Go ahead to start from small. B. Build ramps in every city. C. Appeal to government for funds. D. Raise awareness through media. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Halli因肌肉疾病使用轮椅，在回到冰岛后面临诸多不便，于是他决定利用自己的资源发起“Ramp Up Reykjavik”非营利项目，旨在为雷克雅未克市中心建造永久斜坡，以方便轮椅通行。他的行动证明了共同努力可以使社会更加包容。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. (当他等在外面时，他想到自己经常被排除在餐馆和商店等场所之外，因为这些场所不方便轮椅进出。)”以及第三段中的“After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. (在将自己的公司Ueno卖给Twitter（现为X）后，他决定利用自己的资源让冰岛更加适合轮椅出行。)”可知，是缺乏轮椅通道激发了哈利启动“Ramp Up Reykjavik”项目。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. (与其他城市的临时斜坡不同，这些斜坡被设计成与建筑物完美契合，看起来就像它们一直存在一样。)”可知，“Ramp Up Reykjavik”建造的斜坡与其他城市的斜坡不同的是它们看起来与建筑物融为一体。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. (哈利是一位成功的数字设计师，他在世界各地的许多城市生活过，并注意到它们在无障碍设施方面的巨大差异。在将自己的公司Ueno卖给Twitter（现为X）后，他决定利用自己的资源让冰岛更加适合轮椅出行。)”以及最后一段中“He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily.  (他希望他的工作能激励他人。最近，一位妇女在家里修了一个坡道，这样她坐轮椅的朋友就可以方便地来了。)”可知，Halli决定利用自己的资源让冰岛更加适合轮椅出行，旨在让冰岛变得更加包容，同时他的工作激励了其他人，比如那位为轮椅朋友在家中建造坡道的女性。由此表明，Halli是一个有启发性且富有开创精神的人。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“‘Equal access is not a reality yet,’ he says, ‘but change starts with one person.’ (他说：“平等无障碍还未成为现实，但改变始于个人。”)”可知，Halli期望人们从小事做起实现平等无障碍。故选A项。 C When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing” the false claim with positive counter(反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy. The classic response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually contradicts the misinformation.” Suppose, for example, that your dad passes back the roast potatoes over a family dinner, saying, “Are these GMOs (转基因产品)? Nah, don’t want any more physical reactions.” You might then say, “Actually, the health bodies of all the G7 agree that GMOs do not cause reactions.” But that likely won’t work. The APPC team conducted six experiments where they compared actually correcting someone with “bypassing” and found that using evidence and facts to disprove someone tends to be far less successful at changing attitudes. So, what is bypassing and why is it seemingly more effective? Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy. Bypassing means not meeting your misinformed opponent head-on. This is not a battle of arguments or the studies. You are pushing an argument into a different position. It’s using someone’s movements and logic against them. There are limitations to what the team at APPC has concluded. Their study into bypassing was largely about attitudes to policies, not about belief change or belief correction. Someone might still believe that 5G kills birds or that GMOs cause reactions, but admit that those are necessary bad things, compared to the positive outcomes you present them with. So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change. Changing someone’s belief is a complicated psychological topic, and there is definitely no one-size-fits-all strategy. When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit. 28. According to the APPC research, how does “bypassing” differ from traditional corrections? A. It uses stronger evidence. B. It adopts emotional appeals. C. It offers positive arguments. D. It focuses on unrelated topics. 29. Which can be used as an example of “bypassing”? A. GMOs are safe to eat because scientists say so. B. GMOs can produce higher output with less cost. C. 5G kill birds, but their benefits outweigh the risks. D. 5G doesn’t kill birds, for they show no connection. 30. What do we know about the “bypassing” tool according to the text? A. It is the most reliable way. B. It may help accept policies. C. It appears frequently in debates. D. It is effective in belief correction. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bypassing: A Better Way to Shift Attitudes? B. Changing one’s Mind: Bypass Indirectly! C. Challenging Misinformation: Bypass it! D. Negating the claim: does it work? 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在面对错误信息时，传统的反驳方式可能不如“绕过”策略有效，并探讨了“绕过”策略的定义、有效性及其局限性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The classic response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, ‘The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually contradicts the misinformation.’(对于传播错误信息的人，典型的回应是提供反证。正如安南伯格公共政策中心(APPC)的研究人员所说，‘处理错误信息的黄金标准通常是一种实际上与错误信息相矛盾的纠正’)”以及第三段中“Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic.(绕过错误信息是指，你不是对某个说法提出一些负面的反对意见，而是对这个话题提出积极的反论)”可知，APPC的研究中，“绕过”与传统纠正的区别在于它提供的是积极的论点。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy.(绕过错误信息是指，你不是对某个说法提出一些负面的反对意见，而是对这个话题提出积极的反论。例如，如果有人告诉你5G会杀死鸟，告诉他们5G为世界经济增加了数十亿美元)”可知，“绕过”策略的例子是提供与错误信息相关的积极论点。B选项“转基因作物能以较低的成本产生更高的产量”可以作为“绕过”的例子，因为它提供了关于转基因产品的积极论点，而不是直接反驳其安全性。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit.(当涉及到政策决策以及接受某种技术或药物的意愿时，‘绕过’似乎是一个值得添加到你的工具箱中的有价值工具)”可知，根据文章，“绕过”工具可能有助于接受政策。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, ‘bypassing’ the false claim with positive counter (反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy.(当有人提出虚假说法时，改变他们想法的最好方法是什么?最近的一篇论文表明，立即用证据否定这种说法并不是特别有效。相反，用关于这个话题的积极反论来‘绕过’虚假说法可能是一个更好的策略)”以及最后一段“So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change.(因此，绕过并不是唯一可用的工具，如果你担心的是信念的改变，它甚至可能不是最好的。)”可知，文章主要介绍了在处理虚假信息时，用积极的反论来“绕过”虚假说法可能比用证据直接否定更有效，并探讨了其与传统反驳方式的区别及其局限性。所以A选项“绕过：改变态度的更好方法？”能够概括文章主要内容，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 D People frequently employ AI to craft emails, plan travel, get financial advice, summarize texts, and prepare for job interviews. According to a 2024 Pew Research survey, roughly half of Americans said they use AI at least several times a week, while a recent survey found that virtually all Americans use products that contain AI (even though two-thirds don’t realize it). Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters. They argue that assigning them routine mental tasks frees up users’ time and cognitive (认知的) resources, which they can then spend on other, more creative, and innovative pursuits. The idea makes natural sense and has backing in the scientific literature. According to cognitive load theory, the human cognitive system has limited capacity. So reducing cognitive load can enhance learning and performance. Habitually offloading cognitive tasks to AI could backfire, however. As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life, psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep, reflective thinking, causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time. Professor Dr. Michael Gerlich, Head of the Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at the Swiss Business School, is one of the researchers studying this risk. “If individuals use the cognitive resources freed up by AI for innovative tasks, the promise holds.” he told Big Think. “However, my research and related studies suggest that many users channel these resources into passive consumption, driven by AI-enhanced content selection. This trend matches findings on digital dependence, where the convenience of AI encourages a feedback cycle that prioritizes entertainment over critical engagement.” In other words, when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources, they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem-solve or create. Rather, they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms (算法). Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills. The higher their usage, the lower their skills. Younger participants tended to be more dependent on AI tools compared to older participants. Education was associated with greater critical thinking skills and reduced AI’s negative effect. 32. What is the main argument of companies offering AI assistants? A. They improve efficiency and output. B. They help users reduce screen time. C. They expand users’ cognitive abilities. D. They enhance creativity and innovation. 33. Which can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 3? A. Result in a positive effect. B. Cause negative consequences. C. Achieve an intended outcome. D. Prove the existing theory wrong. 34. What does Dr. Gerlich’s research suggest about the use of AI? A. Freed-up resources fuel innovation. B. AI is mainly for educational purposes. C. Older users are more likely to rely on AI. D. Freed-up resources go to mindless activities. 35. Which can describe the relationship between AI usage and critical thinking? A. Irrelevant. B. complicated. C. disadvantageous. D. Positive. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人工智能（AI）在日常生活中的广泛应用及其对用户认知能力，特别是批判性思维技能的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters.(提供AI助手的公司将其宣传为提高生产力的工具)”可知，提供AI助手的公司认为AI助手可以提高效率和产出。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life, psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep, reflective thinking, causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time.(随着人工智能在日常生活中的日益普及，心理学家认为，它会减少用户参与深度、反思性思考的时间，从而导致他们的批判性思维技能随着时间的推移而下降)”可知，将认知任务交给AI会导致负面后果，即批判性思维技能下降，所以“backfire”的意思是“导致负面后果”。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In other words, when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources, they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem-solve or create. Rather, they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms.(换句话说，当AI释放用户的认知资源时，他们通常不会利用额外的时间和脑力去解决问题或创造。相反，他们会通过观看Netflix或浏览社交媒体来消磨时间——这些内容都是由AI算法提供的)”可知，释放出来的资源被用在了无意义的活动上。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills.(Gerlich发现，受试者使用AI工具与其批判性思维技能之间存在非常强的负相关关系)”可知，AI使用与批判性思维之间的关系是不利的，即使用AI工具越多，批判性思维技能越低。故选C。 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。 We’ve all experienced the frustration of forgetting what we studied yesterday. But memory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies. Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24 hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information, you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams. ____36____ ____37____ When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long. Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. ____38____ Taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”. Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions: “____39____” This forces your brain to search information, strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding. ____40____ By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time. A. How do I use this grammar rule in writing? B. This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick. C. Forgetting is a common human condition without exception. D. Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones. E. Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter. F. Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts. G. Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. G 39. A 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些提高记忆力的有效策略，包括定期复习、运用联想记忆、保证睡眠和保持冷静、主动练习等。 【36题详解】 根据上文“A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams.( 如果一个学生在课后、睡前、三天后再复习一遍数学公式，他会发现在考试时更容易记住。)”提到学生课后、睡前和三天后复习数学公式的例子，说明了间隔复习的方法。B选项“This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick.( 这种“间隔重复”能让记忆更牢固。)”中的“spaced repetition”与前文的复习方法相呼应，总结了这种间隔复习能使记忆留存的作用，故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据后文内容“When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long.( 当背诵像“光合作用”这样的单词时，简单地重复拼写往往很快就会失败。相反，在阅读生物教科书时，想象阳光照射在绿叶上。它结合了文本、图像和现实世界的含义，同时激活了大脑的多个区域。同样，把“菠萝”和“带苹果的松树”联系起来，会产生一种有趣的印象，让人难以忘怀。)”通过举例说明将单词与具体的图像、实际意义相结合能更好地记忆，即通过上下文情境来加强记忆。D选项“Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones.( 上下文情境将薄弱且不确定的记忆转化为永久的记忆。)”符合该段主旨，总结该段内容，适合作为该段小标题。故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late.( 在深度睡眠中，大脑会像图书管理员整理书籍一样重新组织白天的学习。研究表明，睡眠7-8小时的学生比那些熬夜的学生多记住40%的历史事实。)”提到睡眠对记忆的好处，该段主题是睡眠和冷静的头脑对记忆的作用。G选项“Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory.( 然而，感到压力会使大脑充斥着损害记忆的化学物质。)”与前文形成对比，说明压力对记忆的负面影响，强调了保持冷静的重要性。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions:( 主动练习胜过被动阅读。不要机械地重读笔记，把标题变成自我测试的问题：)”提到将标题转化为自我测试问题，A选项“How do I use this grammar rule in writing?( 我如何在写作中使用这个语法规则？)”是一个具体的自我测试问题的例子，符合“将标题转化为自我测试问题”这一策略。故选A项。 【40题详解】 根据后文“By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time.( 通过间隔复习，建立生动的精神联系，照顾大脑的需要，你可以把暂时的知识变成终身的智慧——一次一小步，一步一步。)”可知，通过这些方法可以将临时知识转化为终身智慧，强调的是学习方法的重要性。E选项“Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter.( 掌握记忆不是在于学习时间更长，而是学习更明智。)”总结了全文，强调了运用有效策略提高记忆力，而不是单纯延长学习时间。故选E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。 Bill is a Navy sailor and retired oilfield engineer.

The hall was filled with the smell of air freshener. Elderly residents sat nodding in wheelchairs or played chess with trembling hands, lost in their own worlds. His volunteering here was a part of his school requirements. Every Saturday, Tim found himself unwillingly volunteering at Sunshine Nursing Home. His tasks included assisting Mr. Johnson in the woodworking room and reading newspapers to Mrs. Clark in her room. Although he was initially forced, he began to find a sense of purpose in his work. As he wandered through the nursing home, Tim found Mr. Johnson’s woodworking room lay away behind the laundry area. The walls were decorated with half-carved birds and a sign that read, “Measure twice, cut once.” The 78-year-old craftsman, with tough hands, guided Tim’s hands as they sanded (打磨) wood boards together. When Tim accidentally hurt a table leg with his iron tool, Mr. Johnson said, “Wood remembers every mistake. Wood never lies. Let your hands feel its truth.” On the other side of the building, Mrs. Clark’s sunlit room was a clear contrast. Overflowing with many books, it was a shelter for the former teacher, who was legally blind. Whenever Tim read newspaper articles to her, she would tap her pearl-ringed finger gently. “Young man,” she encouraged him, putting her head to one side so her cat-eye glasses caught the light, “Words dance when you give them breath, dear. Even stock market reports deserve passion!” Her laughter, like wind chimes (风铃), covered up the loneliness Tim sometimes saw when her fingers felt over her family photos on the piano. As the weeks passed, Tim learned to carve maple leaves under Mr. Johnson’s guidance and practiced reading with more expression to Mrs. Clark. One October afternoon, both the elders fell silent when they heard about the nursing home’s upcoming talent show. Tim noticed Mrs. Clark’s trembling hands catching an old violin case under her armchair, meaning something she intended to do. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。 On performance night, stage lights shone as Tim stood frozen behind the curtains. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tim’s initial stutter (口吃) turned into a smooth story, his voice accompanied by Mrs. Clark’s music. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On performance night, stage lights shone as Tim stood frozen behind the curtains. A warm hand suddenly pushed him forward. Mr. Johnson had wheeled himself backstage. “Now, it’s your time to shine, son,” he roared, pointing toward Mrs. Clark tuning her dusty violin in the spotlight. Tim’s palms sweated as he approached the microphone, wooden maple leaf pendant (吊坠), a gift given by Mr. Johnson, bouncing against his chest. The crowd’s murmurs faded when Mrs. Clark drew her bow across strings, her milky eyes magically tracking Tim’s movements. Tim began to nerve himself to speak up loudly. Tim’s initial stutter (口吃) turned into a smooth story, his voice accompanied by Mrs. Clark’s music. He described their shared journey: the wood shavings symbolizing warmth and the newspaper dancing words becoming life lessons. His vivid and passionate description struck all the audience. Mr. Johnson couldn’t help stepping onto the stage. As the final note ended in the air, Tim knelt to embrace the two elders, thanking them for their preparing him for this moment. The entire audience excitedly rose to applaud. Sometimes, the greatest growth comes not from chasing futures, but from honoring silent wisdom waiting in sunlit rooms. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述16岁的蒂姆因学校要求，起初不情愿地在阳光养老院做义工，工作是协助约翰逊先生木工活和为失明的前教师克拉克夫人读报。在相处中，约翰逊先生教他木工知识，克拉克夫人鼓励他激情读报，蒂姆学到了雕刻技巧并提升阅读表现力。养老院才艺表演时，在约翰逊先生鼓励下，蒂姆带着紧张上台，伴着克拉克夫人的小提琴声，生动讲述相处经历，打动观众。表演后蒂姆感谢二人，也领悟到最大的成长有时源于尊重老人们蕴含的无声智慧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“演出之夜，舞台灯光闪烁，蒂姆站在幕布后面一动不动。”可知，第一段可描写约翰逊先生鼓励蒂姆上台以及蒂姆的心理变化过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“蒂姆最初的口吃变成了一个流畅的故事，他的声音伴随着克拉克夫人的音乐。”可知，第二段可描写蒂姆演讲的故事赢得了全场喝彩。 2.续写线索：站在幕布后面一动不动——约翰逊先生的鼓励——开始鼓起勇气大声说话——打动了所有的听众——赢得了全场喝彩——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走近：approached / walked up to ②.打动：struck /moved ③.拥抱：embrace /hug 情绪类 ①.激动地：excitedly / passionately ②.勇气：nerve/ courage 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The narrator in the TV series Blossoms Shanghai points out: “In 1993, the 755-meter-long Huanghe Road had over 100 restaurants, attracting countless wealthy diners each night.” Starting from Huanghe Road and crossing Nanjing Road to the Bund, you’ll pass by many scenic spots often filmed in the series: ·Wing On Department Store The prototype (原型) of Hu Lian Department Store in the TV series was Hua Lian Department Store between 1988 and 2006.

B Late one night in July 2020, Halli was walking around Reykjavik’s main shopping street with his family. They had just moved back to Iceland from the United States and were struggling with jet lag (时差). When his three-year-old son wanted a drink from a corner store, Halli faced a problem: a 20-centimetre step blocked his wheelchair from entering the store. This was not new to Halli, who has used a wheelchair since age 25 due to a muscle disease. As he waited outside, he thought about how often he had been excluded from places like restaurants and stores because they were not accessible. Halli, a successful digital designer, had lived in many cities worldwide and noticed how differently they approached accessibility. After selling his company, Ueno, to Twitter (now X), he decided to use his resources to make Iceland more wheelchair-friendly. In 2021, he launched Ramp (斜坡) Up Reykjavik, a non-profit project aiming to build 100 permanent ramps in the city’s downtown within a year. Unlike temporary ramps in other cities, these were designed to fit perfectly with the buildings, making them look like they had always been there. With government funding and sponsors, the project went beyond its goal and expanded nationwide. By 2026, the team plans to build 1,500 ramps across Iceland, costing about 400 million Icelandic krona. Iceland’s president praised the project, saying, “We want our society to be inclusive. Halli has shown us how easy it is to make a difference when we work together.” In just three years, Halli has become a local hero, known as a “kind tech giant”. He hopes his work inspires others. Recently, a woman built a ramp at her home so her wheelchair-using friend could visit easily. “Equal access is not a reality yet,” he says, “but change starts with one person.” 24. What inspired Halli to start the ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ project? A. The lack of wheelchair access. B. His son’s difficulty in finding a drink. C. A suggestion from Iceland’s president. D. His desire to become famous in Iceland. 25. How are the ramps built by ‘Ramp Up Reykjavik’ different from those in other cities? A. They are cheap to construct. B. They are only built in downtown. C. They are temporary and movable. D. They look fitted with the buildings forever. 26. Which of the following best describes Halli? A. Generous and patient. B. Positive and energetic. C. Smart and hardworking. D. Inspiring and pioneering. 27. What dose Halli expect people to do about equal access? A. Go ahead to start from small. B. Build ramps in every city. C. Appeal to government for funds. D. Raise awareness through media. C When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing” the false claim with positive counter(反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy. The classic response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually contradicts the misinformation.” Suppose, for example, that your dad passes back the roast potatoes over a family dinner, saying, “Are these GMOs (转基因产品)? Nah, don’t want any more physical reactions.” You might then say, “Actually, the health bodies of all the G7 agree that GMOs do not cause reactions.” But that likely won’t work. The APPC team conducted six experiments where they compared actually correcting someone with “bypassing” and found that using evidence and facts to disprove someone tends to be far less successful at changing attitudes. So, what is bypassing and why is it seemingly more effective? Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy. Bypassing means not meeting your misinformed opponent head-on. This is not a battle of arguments or the studies. You are pushing an argument into a different position. It’s using someone’s movements and logic against them. There are limitations to what the team at APPC has concluded. Their study into bypassing was largely about attitudes to policies, not about belief change or belief correction. Someone might still believe that 5G kills birds or that GMOs cause reactions, but admit that those are necessary bad things, compared to the positive outcomes you present them with. So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change. Changing someone’s belief is a complicated psychological topic, and there is definitely no one-size-fits-all strategy. When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit. 28. According to the APPC research, how does “bypassing” differ from traditional corrections? A. It uses stronger evidence. B. It adopts emotional appeals. C. It offers positive arguments. D. It focuses on unrelated topics. 29. Which can be used as an example of “bypassing”? A. GMOs are safe to eat because scientists say so. B. GMOs can produce higher output with less cost. C. 5G kill birds, but their benefits outweigh the risks. D. 5G doesn’t kill birds, for they show no connection. 30. What do we know about the “bypassing” tool according to the text? A. It is the most reliable way. B. It may help accept policies. C. It appears frequently in debates. D. It is effective in belief correction. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bypassing: A Better Way to Shift Attitudes? B. Changing one’s Mind: Bypass Indirectly! C. Challenging Misinformation: Bypass it! D. Negating the claim: does it work? D People frequently employ AI to craft emails, plan travel, get financial advice, summarize texts, and prepare for job interviews. According to a 2024 Pew Research survey, roughly half of Americans said they use AI at least several times a week, while a recent survey found that virtually all Americans use products that contain AI (even though two-thirds don’t realize it). Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters. They argue that assigning them routine mental tasks frees up users’ time and cognitive (认知的) resources, which they can then spend on other, more creative, and innovative pursuits. The idea makes natural sense and has backing in the scientific literature. According to cognitive load theory, the human cognitive system has limited capacity. So reducing cognitive load can enhance learning and performance. Habitually offloading cognitive tasks to AI could backfire however. As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life, psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep, reflective thinking, causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time. Professor Dr. Michael Gerlich, Head of the Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at the Swiss Business School, is one of the researchers studying this risk. “If individuals use the cognitive resources freed up by AI for innovative tasks, the promise holds.” he told Big Think. “However, my research and related studies suggest that many users channel these resources into passive consumption, driven by AI-enhanced content selection. This trend matches findings on digital dependence, where the convenience of AI encourages a feedback cycle that prioritizes entertainment over critical engagement.” In other words, when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources, they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem-solve or create. Rather, they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms (算法). Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills. The higher their usage, the lower their skills. Younger participants tended to be more dependent on AI tools compared to older participants. Education was associated with greater critical thinking skills and reduced AI’s negative effect. 32. What is the main argument of companies offering AI assistants? A. They improve efficiency and output. B. They help users reduce screen time. C. They expand users’ cognitive abilities. D. They enhance creativity and innovation. 33 Which can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 3? A. Result in a positive effect. B. Cause negative consequences. C. Achieve an intended outcome. D. Prove the existing theory wrong. 34. What does Dr. Gerlich’s research suggest about the use of AI? A. Freed-up resources fuel innovation. B. AI is mainly for educational purposes. C. Older users are more likely to rely on AI. D. Freed-up resources go to mindless activities. 35. Which can describe the relationship between AI usage and critical thinking? A. Irrelevant. B. complicated. C. disadvantageous. D. Positive. 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。 We’ve all experienced the frustration of forgetting what we studied yesterday. But memory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies. Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24 hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information, you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式) right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recall during exams. ____36____ ____37____ When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling often fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biology textbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brain areas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard to forget for long. Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brain reorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8 hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. ____38____ Taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”. Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transform headings into self-test questions: “____39____” This forces your brain to search information, strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding. ____40____ By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring for your brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small, steady step at a time. A. How do I use this grammar rule in writing? B. This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick. C. Forgetting is a common human condition without exception. D. Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones. E. Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter. F. Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts. G. Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory. 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。 Bill is a Navy sailor and retired oilfield engineer.

The hall was filled with the smell of air freshener. Elderly residents sat nodding in wheelchairs or played chess with trembling hands, lost in their own worlds. His volunteering here was a part of his school requirements. Every Saturday, Tim found himself unwillingly volunteering at Sunshine Nursing Home. His tasks included assisting Mr. Johnson in the woodworking room and reading newspapers to Mrs. Clark in her room. Although he was initially forced, he began to find a sense of purpose in his work. As he wandered through the nursing home, Tim found Mr. Johnson’s woodworking room lay away behind the laundry area. The walls were decorated with half-carved birds and a sign that read, “Measure twice, cut once.” The 78-year-old craftsman, with tough hands, guided Tim’s hands as they sanded (打磨) wood boards together. When Tim accidentally hurt a table leg with his iron tool, Mr. Johnson said, “Wood remembers every mistake. Wood never lies. Let your hands feel its truth.” On the other side of the building, Mrs. Clark’s sunlit room was a clear contrast. Overflowing with many books, it was a shelter for the former teacher, who was legally blind. Whenever Tim read newspaper articles to her, she would tap her pearl-ringed finger gently. “Young man,” she encouraged him, putting her head to one side so her cat-eye glasses caught the light, “Words dance when you give them breath, dear. Even stock market reports deserve passion!” Her laughter, like wind chimes (风铃), covered up the loneliness Tim sometimes saw when her fingers felt over her family photos on the piano. As the weeks passed, Tim learned to carve maple leaves under Mr. Johnson’s guidance and practiced reading with more expression to Mrs. Clark. One October afternoon, both the elders fell silent when they heard about the nursing home’s upcoming talent show. Tim noticed Mrs. Clark’s trembling hands catching an old violin case under her armchair, meaning something she intended to do. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡上相应位置作答。 On performance night, stage lights shone as Tim stood frozen behind the curtains. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tim’s initial stutter (口吃) turned into a smooth story, his voice accompanied by Mrs. Clark’s music. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Hi there, tom.
