Hands-on skiing training. C. Conducting a theoretical course. D. Rating the weather situation. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一个滑雪课程的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“No prior ski touring experience is needed, but experience of cross-country skiing is required.(不需要之前的滑雪旅游经验，但越野滑雪的经验是必需的)”可知，这门课程针对的是有经验的滑雪者。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prices部分中“Private Course:(1 — 3 participants) $900 per group (私人课程：（1到3人）每组$900)”可知，一对夫妇上私人课程最多要花900美元。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“After a short theory lesson on the peak, you’ll begin the downhill journey back to Grindelwald, and to Hotel Wetterhorn where we will finish the day with feedback.(在山顶上上了一节简短的理论课后，您将开始下山之旅，返回格林德沃，并前往韦特霍恩酒店，在那里我们将以反馈结束一天的行程)”可知，在山顶安排进行理论课。故选C。 B In rural Kenya, a historic transformation is underway as smallholder farmers, traditionally reliant on age-old methods and struggling with limited information, now hug the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape their livelihoods. Selim, a Kenyan farmer, is drawing on Virtual Agronomist, an AI tool, to enhance his coffee farm’s productivity. By communicating with the tool, Selim receives personalized suggestions on harvest targets and fertilizer (化肥) application. This tailored guidance was crucial. But for that, he would have used much more fertilizer. Last year, the tool aided Selim in achieving his best harvest ever. Before adopting Virtual Agronomist, Selim would simply apply fertilizer using what he described as “general farmer’s knowledge”, applying different types at different times of the year without knowing the soil health, leading to low productivity. Sometimes he would take samples of his soil for testing at distant labs, but the results would take months or even wouldn’t arrive at all. A huge challenge for farmers is not knowing what their soil needs. The story is similar for farmers trying to determine what pests (害虫) and diseases have affected their crops. Musau Mutisya, another Kenyan farmer, used to rely on his own knowledge to identify pests and diseases, but he wasn’t always accurate. Now he chooses PlantVillage, an AI-powered app that helps farmers identify the species of pests when they photograph the diseased plants and also provides actionable solutions. Mutisya said he was doing guesswork in the past, ending up using more money treating what he didn’t know. Kenya has an extension officer-to-farm household ratio of 1:1093. Farmers are hungry for real-time information about their crops and AI is a gamechanger, which fills the gap, affording them easy access to essential farming knowledge and empowering them to make informed decisions. Despite the promising prospects brought by the two tools, some scientists warn of dependence on AI tools for agriculture. “Heavy reliance on them to set farming practices may result in the loss of long-held and tested, native agricultural practices,” said Wairegi, who has researched the AI use in agriculture in Africa. 4. Which word best describes Selim’s and Mutisya’s previous solutions to farming issues? A. Inefficient. B. Complicated. C. Innovative. D. Practical. 5. What can the two AI tools both do? A. Gather and distribute market information. B. Keep track of the variations of the soil. C. Translate multiple languages accurately. D. Judge plant condition and offer advice. 6. What do we know about Wairegi in the last paragraph? A. He proposes using AI reasonably. B. He advocates mere traditional farming. C. He predicts AI will lower agricultural output. D. He is strongly against the AI use in agriculture. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Transformative Shift in Remote Farming B. AI Builds Hope for Kenya’s Sustainable Future C. AI for Plants: Kenyan Small Farms Welcome Hi-Tech Tools D. Two Reliable AI Tools: Virtual Agronomist and PlantVillage 【答案】4 A 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是人工智能工具如何帮助肯尼亚的小农户提升农业生产力，改善生计，并探讨了这种技术变革带来的挑战与机遇。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Before adopting Virtual Agronomist, Selim would simply apply fertilizer using what he described as “general farmer’s knowledge”, applying different types at different times of the year without knowing the soil health, leading to low productivity.(在采用Virtual Agronomist之前，Selim只是使用他所说的“普通农民的知识”施肥，在不了解土壤健康的情况下，在一年中的不同时间施用不同类型的肥料，导致生产力低下)”和第五段中的“Musau Mutisya, another Kenyan farmer, used to rely on his own knowledge to identify pests and diseases, but he wasn’t always accurate.(另一位肯尼亚农民Musau Mutisya过去常常依靠自己的知识来识别病虫害，但他并不总是准确的)”可知，Selim和Mutisya之前的方法效率不高，因为他们依赖于一般性的知识或猜测，这导致了低效的结果。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“By communicating with the tool, Selim receives personalized suggestions on harvest targets and fertilizer (化肥) application. This tailored guidance was crucial.(通过与该工具交流，Selim收到关于收获目标和肥料应用的个性化建议。这种量身定制的指导至关重要)”以及第五段中的“Now he chooses PlantVillage, an AI-powered app that helps farmers identify the species of pests when they photograph the diseased plants and also provides actionable solutions.(现在，他选择了PlantVillage，这是一款人工智能应用程序，可以帮助农民在拍摄患病植物时识别害虫的种类，并提供可行的解决方案)”可知，Virtual Agronomist为Selim提供了关于收获目标和化肥应用的个性化建议，而PlantVillage帮助识别害虫种类并提供可操作的解决方案。由此可知，两者都是通过判断植物状况来提供建议的。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中““Heavy reliance on them to set farming practices may result in the loss of long-held and tested, native agricultural practices,” said Wairegi, who has researched the AI use in agriculture in Africa.(研究人工智能在非洲农业中的应用的Wairegi说：“严重依赖它们来制定农业实践可能会导致长期持有和经过考验的当地农业实践的丧失。”)”可知，Wairegi认为过度依赖AI工具可能会导致失去长期持有的农业实践。由此推知，他主张合理地使用AI，而不是完全摒弃传统做法。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段“In rural Kenya, a historic transformation is underway as smallholder farmers, traditionally reliant on age-old methods and struggling with limited information, now hug the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape their livelihoods.(在肯尼亚农村，一场历史性的变革正在进行，传统上依赖古老方法、在有限信息下苦苦挣扎的小农户，现在正拥抱人工智能（AI）重塑其生计的潜力)”可知，文本讲述了肯尼亚的小农户开始采用AI技术来改善他们的作物生产。由此可知，“植物人工智能：肯尼亚小农场欢迎高科技工具”与文章内容吻合，且概括了文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 C The film My Octopus Teacher tells the story of a man who goes diving daily into the underwater South African seaforest and develops an affectionate relationship there with an octopus (章鱼). The diver and also the filmmaker was Craig Foster, who delighted millions of nature lovers. Now in a new book, Amphibious (两栖的) Soul: Finding the Wild in a Tame World, Foster describes the entire ecosystem of the Great African Seaforest at the Cape of Good Hope, and the transforming role it has played in his search for wildness. As the title implies, Foster is as much at home in the ocean as he is on land. The huge comfort from the wild holds irresistible appeal for Foster. Before having any thought of My Octopus Teacher, Foster was burned out on demanding film-making routines that deadened his senses. He dived into the cold ocean and located relief there. Later though, after huge global attention to the octopus film and therefore to him, he suffered from severe sleeplessness. His body and mind breaking down, he felt a strong pull to find his way back to nature. Foster’s incredible engagement with ocean creatures comes through beautifully in this account. He underscores that we can all develop a more playful relationship with nature, whether that means collecting fallen leaves to use in our artwork or watching squirrels perform outside our window. A dominant idea in the book is the powerful connection to nature that comes with tracking. I initially thought Foster meant looking only for animal tracks, but his definition is comprehensive and eye-opening: “any clue left by any creature or plant”. Running water also may leave a track, or lightning hitting a tree. “Seek it out,” Foster encourages us. “Just start small and chip away.” With his revelatory scientific eye and wild mind, Foster’s writing, rooted in his learning from teachers, animal and human, and in a wish to share and spread his joy in nature, leads to our deep reflection on what lies beneath, unexplored and unseen — both under the ocean’s surface, and within our own human nature. 8. What does “Amphibious Soul” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The seaforest ecosystem. B. Craig Foster. C. Ocean conservationists. D. Sea creatures. 9. What may have attracted Foster back to the wild according to paragraph 3? A. The need to film the wild. B. Creative inspirations from nature. C. Nature’s restorative power. D. Possible encounters with nature fans. 10. What does Foster suggest us in paragraph 5? A. Learning to explore nature marks. B. Fitting in with the environment. C. Leaving wildlife tracks undisturbed. D. Preserving natural resources. 11. What can the text be classified as? A. Journey insights. B. Sci-Fi story. C. Book commentary. D. Movie review. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Craig Foster的新书《Amphibious Soul: Finding the Wild in a Tame World》，以及书中关于人与自然关系的核心思想和其个人经历的深刻启示。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“As the title implies, Foster is as much at home in the ocean as he is on land. (正如标题所暗示的，Foster在海洋中如同在陆地上一样自在)”可知，“Amphibious Soul”指的是Craig Foster，表明他本人的特质，在陆地和海洋两栖之间自由切换。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He dived into the cold ocean and located relief there. Later though, after huge global attention to the octopus film and therefore to him, he suffered from severe sleeplessness. His body and mind breaking down, he felt a strong pull to find his way back to nature. (他潜入冰冷的海洋，从中寻得慰藉。然而，在因全球对章鱼纪录片的高度关注之后，他失眠严重，身心崩溃。他感到一种强烈的吸引力，促使他重新回到自然界)”可推知，Foster之所以回到自然界，是因为自然具有让人恢复身心的治愈力量。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Running water also may leave a track, or lightning hitting a tree. “Seek it out,” Foster encourages us. “Just start small and chip away.” (流水也可能留下痕迹，或者闪电击中树木。“寻找它”，Foster鼓励我们。“从小事开始，一点点探索”)”可知，Foster建议我们学习探索自然中的痕迹。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，特别是第二段中提到“Now in a new book, Amphibious(两栖的)Soul: Finding the Wild in a Tame World, Foster describes the entire ecosystem of the Great African Seaforest at the Cape of Good Hope, and the transforming role it has played in his search for wildness (现在，福斯特在他的新书《两栖的灵魂：在一个驯服的世界里寻找野生》中描述了好望角非洲大海洋森林的整个生态系统，以及它在他寻找野生环境中所起的转变作用)”以及对书中观点与内容的深入描述。由此推知，本文是一篇书评。故选C。 D People vary in how well they discriminate and identify foods. The variation is explained by a general ability to recognize objects. We researchers originally theorized the variability might also be associated with people’s attitude toward new foods. Those who endorse statements like “I am particular about what I eat” have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. Sure enough, our study did find picky eaters scored worst on our tests of food recognition: Food neophobia is negatively correlated with food recognition ability. While we were publishing our finding, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to color. We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on color. We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited. We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind. Seeing the world with a narrow color range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods. Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits. 12. What does the underlined word “endorse” mean in paragraph 1? A. Comment on. B. Approve of. C. Worry about. D. Argue against. 13. What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To illustrate an argument. B. To emphasize the value of science. C. To explain the background of later tests. D. To indicate a positive academic atmosphere. 14. Why are colorblind people less food neophobic according to the study? A. They’re born with a bigger appetite. B. They’re more expert at recognizing food. C. They prefer to take risks and try fresh things. D. They fail to perceive some food signs causing tension. 15. How did the author uncover the effect of color on emotional responses to food? A. By experiencing food diversity firsthand. B. By analyzing feedback from respondents. C. By testing brains’ reaction to colorful foods. D. By monitoring picky eaters’ dietary variations. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们对食物识别能力的差异，以及这种差异与人们对新食物态度（食物新恐惧症）的关系。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Those who endorse statements like “I am particular about what I eat” have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. (那些endorse“我对自己吃的东西很挑剔”的人有“新食物恐惧症”——拒绝新奇食物。)”可知，“Those…have food neophobia”这里指那些人有“新食物恐惧症”说明他们支持“I am particular about what I eat”这一观点，划线词意为“赞成、同意”。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we were publishing our finding, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. (当我们发表我们的发现时，科学家们正在就大脑如何对食物和颜色做出反应的新发现进行辩论。不同的研究小组已经确定了视觉系统中优先对食物图像做出反应的脑区。)”可知，在作者团队发表其发现的同时，科学界关于大脑对食物和颜色反应的新发现以及存在的争议，为后文作者团队进行灰度图像实验以及提出色盲者与食物新恐惧症关系的预测提供了背景信息。因此，本段的写作目的是解释后续测试的背景。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited. (因为色盲者体验食物的颜色范围有限，某些关于新鲜度、安全性或引起对新奇食物焦虑的信号可能会受到限制。)”和倒数第二段的“The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind.(调查显示，色盲者确实比非色盲者更不害怕食物。)”可知，色盲者由于颜色感知能力的限制，无法像正常人一样感知到某些可能引起对食物新鲜度、安全性等担忧的信号，因此他们对新奇食物的恐惧感较低，没有察觉到一些引起紧张的食物迹象。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged…We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability. (我们使用食物的灰度图像重复了最初的研究。结果显示，在没有颜色的情况下，人们不出所料地犯了更多错误，将不同的菜肴误认为是相同的，但人与人之间差异的模式没有其他变化……我们还发现了去除颜色的一个效果：食物新恐惧症不再与食物识别能力相关。)”，倒数第三段的“We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? (然后我们做出了一个全新的预测：色盲者是否比正常色觉者更少食物新恐惧症？)”和倒数第二段的“We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire.(我们根据参与者在一份长筛查问卷中关于色盲问题的回答邀请他们在线参与。)”可知，结合参与者在线回答参与，作者通过对比有颜色和无颜色（灰度图像）情况下人们对食物识别能力的差异，以及进一步预测并验证色盲者与食物新恐惧症的关系，来揭示颜色对食物情感反应的影响，也就是作者主要分析了受访者的反馈（即在不同条件下的表现）来揭示颜色对食物情感反应的影响。故选B。 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。 Running offers numerous advantages such as enhancing health and even forming new friendships. ____16____ Do you want to breast the tape at the finish line? Here are quality tips on how to run cross-country faster. As with any running plan, boosting your cross-country rate starts with building a base. Aerobic (有氧的) fitness comes into play during this foundational phase, which means your muscles are receiving a sufficient amount of oxygen and energy. ____17____ Apart from consistent running, for an anaerobic (无氧的) push, it’s essential to occasionally add in anaerobic exercise: strides — short bursts of a faster pace, which can sharpen the legs. You can do something a little bit quick over a brief duration. ____18____ Training anaerobically comes in handy for that end-of-the-race kick. ____19____ Compared to road racing, cross-country landscapes are undeniably diverse with windy paths, steep hills or sharp turns, seeming impossible to gain speed on. A good knowledge of the types of environment you’ll be racing on guarantees you know how to engage your muscles differently on the race day. A track is flat and controlled with at most 20 people in a race while in cross-country, you can have up to 200 people on the starting line. Be aware of who is around you and use them as a reference point and find that moment to speed up. It’s hard to put a time to one course with courses ranging from flat golf courses to hilly, muddy paths. ____20____ It’s more about the competition, not the time. A. Is there a specific technique? B. Just focus on the race at hand. C. It enables them to sustain long runs. D. You can refer to landmarks for the directions. E. So when you do go faster, it won’t be a shock to the body. F. Familiarity with the setting of the competition is also a must. G. But when it comes to racing cross-country, speed matters most. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. E 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分享了提高越野跑跑步速度的一些建议。 【16题详解】 前文“Running offers numerous advantages such as enhancing health and even forming new friendships. (跑步有很多好处，比如增进健康，甚至结交新朋友)”提到跑步的各种好处，后文“Do you want to breast the tape at the finish line? Here are quality tips on how to run cross-country faster. (你想冲过终点线吗？这里有一些关于如何跑得更快的建议)”指出有建议可以帮助跑得更快，空处应起到过渡作用，和跑步速度有关，因此G项“But when it comes to racing cross-country, speed matters most. (但在越野跑中，速度是最重要的)”符合语境，指出越野跑中速度最重要，和前文构成转折，引出后文的建议。故选G。 【17题详解】 前文“Aerobic (有氧的) fitness comes into play during this foundational phase, which means your muscles are receiving a sufficient amount of oxygen and energy. (有氧健身在这个基础阶段起作用，这意味着你的肌肉得到了足够的氧气和能量)”指出基础阶段需要进行有氧健身，增强肌肉，空处是段末句，应该是继续说明增强肌肉对越野跑的用处，因此C项“It enables them to sustain long runs. (这使它们能够维持长时间的跑步)”符合语境，承接前文，其中的them指代前文的your muscles。故选C。 【18题详解】 前文“Apart from consistent running, for an anaerobic (无氧的) push, it’s essential to occasionally add in anaerobic exercise: strides — short bursts of a faster pace, which can sharpen the legs. You can do something a little bit quick over a brief duration. (除了持续的跑步，为了增强无氧能力，偶尔加入无氧运动也很重要：比如冲刺跑——短距离的快速跑，这能增强腿部力量。你可以进行一些短时间内的快速运动)”建议偶尔进行无氧运动，增强腿部力量，后文“Training anaerobically comes in handy for that end-of-the-race kick. (无氧训练对比赛快结束时的冲刺很有用)”指出无氧训练的好处，空处应该也是点明其好处，因此E项“So when you do go faster, it won’t be a shock to the body. (所以当你跑得更快时，它不会对身体造成冲击)”符合语境，承接前文。故选E。 【19题详解】 后文“Compared to road racing, cross-country landscapes are undeniably diverse with windy paths, steep hills or sharp turns, seeming impossible to gain speed on. A good knowledge of the types of environment you’ll be racing on guarantees you know how to engage your muscles differently on the race day. (与公路赛相比，越野赛的地形无疑更加多样，有蜿蜒曲折的小径、陡峭的山坡或急转弯，似乎很难提速。对比赛环境类型有充分的了解，能确保你在比赛当天知道如何以不同的方式调动肌肉)”主要说明越野赛地形多样，需要对其环境有所了解，空处作为段首句，应该是总的建议熟悉越野赛的环境，因此F项“Familiarity with the setting of the competition is also a must. (熟悉比赛的环境也是必须的)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选F。 【20题详解】 前文“It’s hard to put a time to one course with courses ranging from flat golf courses to hilly, muddy paths. (由于赛道类型多样，从平坦的高尔夫球场到起伏泥泞的小路都有，所以很难为一场比赛设定一个固定的时长)”指出为越野赛确定固定时长并不实际，后文“It’s more about the competition, not the time. (更重要的是竞争，而不是时间)”指出竞争本身比时间更重要，空处应该是建议关注比赛本身，因此B项“Just focus on the race at hand. (专注于眼前的比赛)”符合语境，承前启后。故选B。 第三部分 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、佳选项。 Never did Ezra’s family anticipate opening their door to a great surprise from his former teacher! 5-year-old Ezra suffered liver（肝）damage from birth.

It was her father’s favourite. She had brought it to her class beach barbecue to record memorable moments with her high school classmates. Jade held the camera close to her chest before drying it with a towel. She pressed the power button several times. No response. Tears of sadness welling up in her eyes, Jade gathered her belongings, determined to leave.“Jade, where are you going?” Her putzzled classmates called behind her, but she ignored them. Without saying goodbye, she ran away from the barbecue. She wanted to take the camera to the repairman immediately. Uncle Lee, the trusty repairman for all things digital, could only shake his head, give her a resigned look and say, “It’s beyond repair.” The camera was a gift from Jade’s mother to her father on his fortieth birthday. Since then, it had been his companion for all events, big and small. It had been instrumental in capturing all the significant milestones in their family. Numerous advanced digital cameras had come onto the market but his father had no intention of replacing the treasure. But this time she had secretly taken it out and ruined it! Her father would get cross with her and probably never trust her with his belongings again. Thinking of this, Jade put back the disabled camera quietly in her father’s drawer in the hope that her father wouldn’t find out the truth. Jade remained disturbed for a few days. Then came the day when her father went for his camera because Jade’s younger sister would be graduating from kindergarten and he was preparing for the ceremony. “What’s wrong with my camera? It was in good condition last Saturday. Maybe it’s too old to work,” Jade’s father said in disbelief, having tried turning it on several times and failed. “Take it easy, dear. Perhaps it’s high time to change for an advanced one,” Jade’s mother comforted him smilingly. “But I can’t part with this big treasure.” Her father responded. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing this Jade gathered up her courage. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, when Jade came home, she saw a new smartphone on her desk. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Hearing this, Jade gathered up her courage. Full of apology and regret, Jade gave an account of the whole story. “Sorry, dad, it’s all my fault. I know the camera means a lot to you. I hope to buy a new one for you with all my pocket money.” Turning back to fetch her money, she was stopped by her mother. “Honey, it’s just a camera. Your honesty matters most to us,” Her mother said smilingly, hugging her tightly. Relieved, Jade responded with gratitude, “Thank you, Mom. Never will I make such a mistake.” The next day, when Jade came home, she saw a new smartphone on her desk. On it was a note saying, “Jade, you’ve grown up. We’re proud of your integrity. This phone with a great built-in camera is for you. You can use it to capture memorable moments. Love, Dad & Mum.” Jade picked up the smartphone, tears of happiness streaming down her cheeks. She realized her parents’ love and forgiveness were more precious than any possession. She promised to herself that she would be more responsible and considerate, cherishing the trust her parents had in her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jade在不小心弄坏父亲心爱的相机后，内心充满了愧疚和不安。她最终鼓起勇气向父亲坦白，虽然担心父亲会生气，但父母却以宽容和理解回应了她，强调诚实的重要性。第二天，父母用一部新手机表达了对Jade勇敢和诚实的认可，Jade也因此明白了亲情和宽恕的珍贵。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jade听了，鼓起了勇气。”可知，第一段可描写Jade向父亲道歉以及母亲对自己的宽慰。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，当Jade回家时，她看到桌子上有一部新的智能手机。”可知，第二段可描写Jade接受智能手机后的感悟。 2.续写线索：向父亲道歉——感谢妈妈的理解——收到智能手机——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①买：buy /purchase ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize /be aware of ④用：use/employ 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude /appreciation ②珍贵的：precious/valuable 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her mother said smilingly, hugging her tightly.

Who does the course target? A. Beginners of skiing. B. Professional skiing athletes. C. Mountain climbing lovers. D. Skiers with some experience. 2. How much will a couple pay for a private course at most? A. $1800. B. $900. C. $600. D. $430. 3. What activity is arranged at the top of the mountain? A. Equipment checking and fixing. B. Hands-on skiing training. C. Conducting a theoretical course. D. Rating the weather situation. B In rural Kenya, a historic transformation is underway as smallholder farmers, traditionally reliant on age-old methods and struggling with limited information, now hug the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape their livelihoods. Selim a Kenyan farmer, is drawing on Virtual Agronomist, an AI tool, to enhance his coffee farm’s productivity. By communicating with the tool, Selim receives personalized suggestions on harvest targets and fertilizer (化肥) application. This tailored guidance was crucial. But for that, he would have used much more fertilizer. Last year, the tool aided Selim in achieving his best harvest ever. Before adopting Virtual Agronomist, Selim would simply apply fertilizer using what he described as “general farmer’s knowledge”, applying different types at different times of the year without knowing the soil health, leading to low productivity. Sometimes he would take samples of his soil for testing at distant labs, but the results would take months or even wouldn’t arrive at all. A huge challenge for farmers is not knowing what their soil needs. The story is similar for farmers trying to determine what pests (害虫) and diseases have affected their crops. Musau Mutisya, another Kenyan farmer, used to rely on his own knowledge to identify pests and diseases, but he wasn’t always accurate. Now he chooses PlantVillage, an AI-powered app that helps farmers identify the species of pests when they photograph the diseased plants and also provides actionable solutions. Mutisya said he was doing guesswork in the past, ending up using more money treating what he didn’t know. Kenya has an extension officer-to-farm household ratio of 1:1093. Farmers are hungry for real-time information about their crops and AI is a gamechanger, which fills the gap, affording them easy access to essential farming knowledge and empowering them to make informed decisions. Despite the promising prospects brought by the two tools, some scientists warn of dependence on AI tools for agriculture. “Heavy reliance on them to set farming practices may result in the loss of long-held and tested, native agricultural practices,” said Wairegi, who has researched the AI use in agriculture in Africa. 4. Which word best describes Selim’s and Mutisya’s previous solutions to farming issues? A. Inefficient. B. Complicated. C. Innovative. D. Practical. 5. What can the two AI tools both do? A. Gather and distribute market information. B. Keep track of the variations of the soil. C. Translate multiple languages accurately. D. Judge plant condition and offer advice. 6. What do we know about Wairegi in the last paragraph? A. He proposes using AI reasonably. B He advocates mere traditional farming. C. He predicts AI will lower agricultural output. D. He is strongly against the AI use in agriculture. 7 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Transformative Shift in Remote Farming B. AI Builds Hope for Kenya’s Sustainable Future C. AI for Plants: Kenyan Small Farms Welcome Hi-Tech Tools D. Two Reliable AI Tools: Virtual Agronomist and PlantVillage C The film My Octopus Teacher tells the story of a man who goes diving daily into the underwater South African seaforest and develops an affectionate relationship there with an octopus (章鱼). The diver and also the filmmaker was Craig Foster, who delighted millions of nature lovers. Now in a new book, Amphibious (两栖的) Soul: Finding the Wild in a Tame World, Foster describes the entire ecosystem of the Great African Seaforest at the Cape of Good Hope, and the transforming role it has played in his search for wildness. As the title implies, Foster is as much at home in the ocean as he is on land. The huge comfort from the wild holds irresistible appeal for Foster. Before having any thought of My Octopus Teacher, Foster was burned out on demanding film-making routines that deadened his senses. He dived into the cold ocean and located relief there. Later though, after huge global attention to the octopus film and therefore to him, he suffered from severe sleeplessness. His body and mind breaking down, he felt a strong pull to find his way back to nature. Foster’s incredible engagement with ocean creatures comes through beautifully in this account. He underscores that we can all develop a more playful relationship with nature, whether that means collecting fallen leaves to use in our artwork or watching squirrels perform outside our window. A dominant idea in the book is the powerful connection to nature that comes with tracking. I initially thought Foster meant looking only for animal tracks, but his definition is comprehensive and eye-opening: “any clue left by any creature or plant”. Running water also may leave a track, or lightning hitting a tree. “Seek it out,” Foster encourages us. “Just start small and chip away.” With his revelatory scientific eye and wild mind, Foster’s writing, rooted in his learning from teachers, animal and human, and in a wish to share and spread his joy in nature, leads to our deep reflection on what lies beneath, unexplored and unseen — both under the ocean’s surface, and within our own human nature. 8. What does “Amphibious Soul” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The seaforest ecosystem. B. Craig Foster. C. Ocean conservationists. D. Sea creatures. 9. What may have attracted Foster back to the wild according to paragraph 3? A. The need to film the wild. B. Creative inspirations from nature. C Nature’s restorative power. D. Possible encounters with nature fans. 10. What does Foster suggest us in paragraph 5? A. Learning to explore nature marks. B. Fitting in with the environment. C. Leaving wildlife tracks undisturbed. D. Preserving natural resources. 11. What can the text be classified as? A. Journey insights. B. Sci-Fi story. C. Book commentary. D. Movie review. D People vary in how well they discriminate and identify foods. The variation is explained by a general ability to recognize objects. We researchers originally theorized the variability might also be associated with people’s attitude toward new foods. Those who endorse statements like “I am particular about what I eat” have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. Sure enough, our study did find picky eaters scored worst on our tests of food recognition: Food neophobia is negatively correlated with food recognition ability. While we were publishing our finding, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to color. We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on color. We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited. We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind. Seeing the world with a narrow color range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods. Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits. 12. What does the underlined word “endorse” mean in paragraph 1? A. Comment on. B. Approve of. C. Worry about. D. Argue against. 13. What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To illustrate an argument. B. To emphasize the value of science. C. To explain the background of later tests. D. To indicate a positive academic atmosphere. 14 Why are colorblind people less food neophobic according to the study? A. They’re born with a bigger appetite. B. They’re more expert at recognizing food. C. They prefer to take risks and try fresh things. D. They fail to perceive some food signs causing tension. 15. How did the author uncover the effect of color on emotional responses to food? A. By experiencing food diversity firsthand. B. By analyzing feedback from respondents. C. By testing brains’ reaction to colorful foods. D. By monitoring picky eaters’ dietary variations. 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。 Running offers numerous advantages such as enhancing health and even forming new friendships. ____16____ Do you want to breast the tape at the finish line? Here are quality tips on how to run cross-country faster. As with any running plan, boosting your cross-country rate starts with building a base. Aerobic (有氧的) fitness comes into play during this foundational phase, which means your muscles are receiving a sufficient amount of oxygen and energy. ____17____ Apart from consistent running, for an anaerobic (无氧的) push, it’s essential to occasionally add in anaerobic exercise: strides — short bursts of a faster pace, which can sharpen the legs. You can do something a little bit quick over a brief duration. ____18____ Training anaerobically comes in handy for that end-of-the-race kick. ____19____ Compared to road racing, cross-country landscapes are undeniably diverse with windy paths, steep hills or sharp turns, seeming impossible to gain speed on. A good knowledge of the types of environment you’ll be racing on guarantees you know how to engage your muscles differently on the race day. A track is flat and controlled with at most 20 people in a race while in cross-country, you can have up to 200 people on the starting line. Be aware of who is around you and use them as a reference point and find that moment to speed up. It’s hard to put a time to one course with courses ranging from flat golf courses to hilly, muddy paths. ____20____ It’s more about the competition, not the time. A. Is there a specific technique? B. Just focus on the race at hand. C. It enables them to sustain long runs. D. You can refer to landmarks for the directions. E. So when you do go faster, it won’t be a shock to the body. F.

It was her father’s favourite. She had brought it to her class beach barbecue to record memorable moments with her high school classmates. Jade held the camera close to her chest before drying it with a towel. She pressed the power button several times. No response. Tears of sadness welling up in her eyes, Jade gathered her belongings, determined to leave.“Jade, where are you going?” Her putzzled classmates called behind her, but she ignored them. Without saying goodbye, she ran away from the barbecue. She wanted to take the camera to the repairman immediately. Uncle Lee, the trusty repairman for all things digital, could only shake his head, give her a resigned look and say, “It’s beyond repair.” The camera was a gift from Jade’s mother to her father on his fortieth birthday. Since then, it had been his companion for all events, big and small. It had been instrumental in capturing all the significant milestones in their family. Numerous advanced digital cameras had come onto the market but his father had no intention of replacing the treasure. But this time she had secretly taken it out and ruined it! Her father would get cross with her and probably never trust her with his belongings again. Thinking of this, Jade put back the disabled camera quietly in her father’s drawer in the hope that her father wouldn’t find out the truth. Jade remained disturbed for a few days. Then came the day when her father went for his camera because Jade’s younger sister would be graduating from kindergarten and he was preparing for the ceremony. “What’s wrong with my camera? It was in good condition last Saturday. Maybe it’s too old to work,” Jade’s father said in disbelief, having tried turning it on several times and failed. “Take it easy, dear. Perhaps it’s high time to change for an advanced one,” Jade’s mother comforted him smilingly. “But I can’t part with this big treasure.” Her father responded. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hearing this, Jade gathered up her courage. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, when Jade came home, she saw a new smartphone on her desk. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
