I’m eager to share my suggestions about what to create. I believe it would be a wonderful idea to shoot a video highlighting the heartfelt bonds between students and teachers. You can capture footage of bustling offices where teachers diligently help students with their academic challenges. To add a more heartwarming touch, you could interview students and incorporate their appreciation for teachers’ guidance, support, and the positive impact they’ve had on their lives into the video. Their honest remarks would not only beautifully show the dynamic campus life, but also portray the beauty of character. What do you think of my ideas? Feel free to ask me any questions during your shooting.

As winter approached, my 3 grew. I couldn’t bear the thought of those 4 creatures suffering in the biting cold. I then set up cozy corners for them in the damp basement of our building. However, not everyone shared my compassion. One neighbor insisted on getting rid of the cats. He called Animal Control to have them 5 .

The research team tested 31 pet dogs. Three human caretakers of each dog 11 (ask) to record their voices. Then they sat quietly in front of the dog while the recording played. The dogs usually approached — or at least spent more time looking at — the person 12 voice they heard. Experts hope to study whether other mammals have this skill, so they can better understand 13 different species learn to communicate with each other. B When her 14 (edit), Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with 15 (pay) time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair 16 (take) a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave’s blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, 17 we all know, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help. C Ne Zha 2, 18 (base) on a Chinese folk character, earned more than 8 billion yuan during the week-long Chinese New Year holiday. It broke the record set by 2021’s The Battle of Lake Changjin.

But not all online or homeschool programs are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities. Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience.Weather Laboratories To make learning about weather accessible and fun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a lot of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators. In fact, their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns, and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact.Simulations (模拟) for Science and Math It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. Available in dozens of languages, the interactives are searchable by grade level, subject, and accessibility.Space Exploration Simulations The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12. The interactive simulations are also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child. The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science. 21．Who are the intended readers? A．Parents. B．Students. C．Teachers. D．Researchers. 22．What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs? A．It covers the most subjects. B．It has a translation centre. C．It offers gamified learning experiences. D．It provides multiple tools for recording. 23．What do all the three labs have in common? A．They centre on problem solving skills. B．They facilitate advanced scientific research. C．They provide virtual scientific exploration. D．They help students with STEM projects from school. B In my early forties, I began painting with watercolours. Each brushstroke on paper turned into a personal language, allowing me to express the inexpressible. The feeling of colour being absorbed into the paper was calming, yet it left me longing for something deeper. Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control. Layers of paints combined smoothly, creating a three-dimensional effect that watercolours couldn’t copy. Oil paints granted me the precious opportunity to take a few steps back, as if I were a curious explorer approaching a hidden landscape. However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress. Colours didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled to achieve the vision in my mind. But the more I persisted, the more I understood oil paints. They balanced softness with depth, giving me the chance to create both delicate and grand images. The process of painting became reflective, a practice of exploring colours, textures (纹理) and emotions — sometimes rough, sometimes peaceful, but always rewarding. One evening, I noticed a strange shade of blue on my canvas (画布). It seemed out of place, as if it didn’t belong. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part of my recent work or a trick of the eye. As I stepped back to examine the canvas, the blue shade slowly began to make sense. It was not an error but an invitation — an unplanned element that added depth to the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected. From then on, I approached my work with a new sense of curiosity. I let colours blend more freely, allowed accidental mistakes to become part of the composition, and accepted that every brushstroke carried its own story. Oil painting not only gave me a medium to express myself but also taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of discovery. Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece. 24．Why did the author turn to oil paints? A．To enhance creativity. B．To save painting time. C．To seek deeper artistic control. D．To improve painting skills. 25．What challenge did the author face when working with oil paints? A．Balancing softness and sharpness. B．Creating a three-dimensional effect. C．Achieving the right shine and thickness. D．Controlling the drying time of the paints. 26．What message does the author want to convey? A．Art is a journey of welcoming imperfections. B．A good picture is worth a thousand words. C．Beauty is the ultimate goal of fine art. D．Creating is about exploring ideal self. C Researchers from the NeuroMind Institute have developed a new system that uses predator (捕食者) robots to chase (追逐) larval (幼体的) zebrafish in an open water. This innovative approach is helping scientists study how the young fish rapidly learn and adapt in real-world conditions. Larval zebrafish are a valuable tool for neuroscientists because their transparency enables easy study of the brain and behaviour. However, it’s been difficult for scientists to study learning in these developing vertebrates (脊椎动物) — an important part of understanding how the brain works. Previous research found young zebrafish could learn simple associations. But this type of learning happens slowly and often unreliably, and it was still unclear whether days-old zebrafish can learn fast enough to use their memory in natural situations, like recognizing and avoiding new predators. The researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab, where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild, might not be effective for uncovering how the fish learn. To model a real-life situation, the researchers used small robotic cylinders (圆柱体), with some programmed to show predator-like characteristics. The researchers created the dynamics: they first placed a robot that stayed still with a free-swimming zebrafish; after the robot chased the fish for a minute, the fish began avoiding the robot’s area for more than an hour — a big change from the non-avoidant behaviour before the chase experience. When a second robot was introduced that did not chase the fish, the zebrafish only avoided the chasing robot, showing that they could distinguish between a threat and a non-threat. Using this system, the researchers made an unexpected discovery that not only could larval zebrafish learn extremely quickly in a more natural context, but they could also do so just five days after beginning their lives as single cells. This was particularly surprising given the fact that a developing zebrafish larva contains just one percent or so of the neurons (神经元) in its adult form. The findings suggest that some essential learning abilities, like recognizing predators, emerge early in life and are critical for survival. Further brain imaging reveals that different regions of the zebrafish brain are involved in this rapid learning: the hindbrain, a region controlling essential functions, responds to the approaching predator; the forebrain, a region associated with learning and planning, encodes the presence of the predator robot; and the habenula, another brain area, signals avoidance outcomes. All these regions are necessary for learning, and silencing any of them removes the ability of the fish to learn. It is believed that the new work could offer insights into how other brains process real-world threats. 27．Why did the researchers develop a new system with larval zebrafish? A．To observe their hunting behaviours. B．To identify their simple associations. C．To examine their brain characteristics. D．To uncover their learning in natural settings. 28．What does the underlined word “dynamics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Interaction. B．Function. C．Structure. D．Standard. 29．What can we learn about larval zebrafish? A．They can distinguish between robots and fish. B．They learn fast through a multi-regional brain network. C．They develop learning abilities when reaching adulthood. D．They can recognise predators with much neurons needed. 30．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A．Explaining the robot design used in the experiment. B．Exploring danger processing in other species’ brains. C．Analysing the connection between learning and planning. D．Describing zebrafish behaviours in different surroundings. D Imagine a not-too-distant future, where we each inhabit our own AI-driven digital filter (过滤) bubble, crafted for us alone and designed to serve corporate interests. This future resembles 1998’s movie The Truman Show, where the main character unknowingly lived his entire life within a reality TV show designed by a production studio. One subset of AI, large language models (LLM), won’t turn our lives into reality TV shows. Instead, personalized AI agents threaten to cage each of us in an individualized and illusory (虚假的) unreality, profiting from our digital activities and walling us off from genuine connections. Many companies are developing individualized LLM. The underlying principle is that AI will learn about the individual user and adapt accordingly. For example, if you’re a super fan of a football team, you’ll be fed updates, ads, and videos tailored to your interests 24 hours a day. Some algorithms may even learn your schedule, pushing information at you during precisely those times when you’re most likely to be looking. This may sound harmless. But the next step is to use LLM to create memes, or even fake articles,feeding you conspiracy theories about rival teams. This is a miserable reality for at least two reasons.For one, there are neither computational methods or ethical incentives (激励) in place to ensure that the information you receive is true. But just as frightening as the lack of regard for the truth is an even scarier element. You will no longer live with an accurate understanding of football team that is fully compatible with anyone else’s. You will run on information generated only for yourself. This vision is unsettling, even in sports and entertainment. But what of institutions that have more direct social consequences?Education? Politics? With the fall of the press and polarization of everything,conversations around holiday table have already become impossible for many extended families. Bad as the status quo might be, stranger times lie ahead that make us long for today’s echo chambers (信息茧房). Soon, our bubbles will shrink further and further,until our digital worlds involve only ourselves. In an Al-mediated future,everyone will live in a private Truman Show. As a society, we will be completely incapable of making fruitful collective decisions because we will have no shared understanding of the world. What’s the way out? Find your entertainment in spaces with actual people, exchanging thoughts and creations with each other. Even online, we must keep our understanding of the world grounded in human-authored documents and artifacts. Valuing what humans create is not merely a matter of authenticity; it also ensures we focus on arguments that an author cared enough to make, on conservations that speakers cared enough to have. Otherwise,The Truman Show’s premise becomes our reality, unknowingly inhabiting a fake world where our every experience is designed for profit. Even more existentially alienating? Living in a Truman Show where the director, producer and the only one watching is an AI. 31．The author mentions The Truman Show in Paragraph 1 to . A．make a comparison B．illustrate a situation C．support an argument D．propose a suggestion 32．According to the passage, personalized AI agents may . A．isolate individuals in false realities B．confirm the credibility of the content C．discourage the companies’ ethical incentives D．improve user behavior by feeding targeted ads 33．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Algorithms have raised concerns over privacy. B．LLMs are in great need of computational upgrade. C．Echo chambers weaken collective decision-making. D．Technology development results in polarized society. 34．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．AI and the Future of Human Interaction B．AI Will Turn Our Lives into The Truman Show C．The Truman Show Predicts AI’s Impact on Media D．Algorithmic Bubbles and the Value of Human Creations 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. 35 In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill. If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. 36 It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings. 37 At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. 38 Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. 39 As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference. A．It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support. B．We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad. C．In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind. D．This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones. E．If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact. F．A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety. G．After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32 分) 第一节 (共 4 小题； 第 40、41 题各 2 分， 第 42 题 3 分， 第 43 题 5 分， 共 12 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test, where children were given the choice between eating one marshmallow immediately or waiting for two later, may have revealed more than just willpower — it might help explain why some people maintain sharper cognitive function as they age. A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems. Think of your brain as a muscle that gets stronger with practice. Every time you choose a long-term benefit over immediate pleasure, you’re essentially doing a mental workout. This workout engages particularly the brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges. Regularly exercising self-control may help maintain cognitive function. The science behind this connection is fascinating. When we resist immediate rewards, we stimulate “cool” regulation strategies in the rational (理性的) reasoning center of decision-making. In contrast, giving in to immediate satisfaction typically involves “hot” strategies in the brain areas associated with emotional decision-making. The more we practice using these “cool” strategies, the stronger our brain pathways become. This could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. The good news is that these skills can be developed at any age. Simple strategies like setting specific goals, creating detailed action plans, and using monitoring techniques can help. Also, physical activity plays a particularly important role. Remember, it’s never too late to start building these protective cognitive skills. The key is consistent practice and a conscious (有意识的) effort to make choices that prioritize long-term benefits over immediate rewards. 40．According to the recent research, what could the ability to delay satisfaction help? 41．Which brain area does delayed satisfaction particularly work out? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. As we grow older, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. 43．Please share one of your experiences of delayed satisfaction. （In about 40words） 第二节 (20 分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校正在举办以“美丽校园”为主题的原创作品征集活动，交换生Jim打算参加，发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 建议创作内容； 2. 就以上建议简要说明理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考押题预测卷(北京卷01) 英语·全解全析 （考试时间：90分钟 试卷满分：100分） 注意事项： 1、考生务必在答题卡指定区域作答，在试卷上作答无效。 2、考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 知识运用(共两节，30 分) 第一节 (共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 15 分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中，选出 最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last year, five homeless cats lived in the shadows in our neighborhood, silently asking for help.

Each brushstroke on paper turned into a personal language, allowing me to express the inexpressible. The feeling of colour being absorbed into the paper was calming, yet it left me longing for something deeper. Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control. Layers of paints combined smoothly, creating a three-dimensional effect that watercolours couldn’t copy. Oil paints granted me the precious opportunity to take a few steps back, as if I were a curious explorer approaching a hidden landscape. However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress. Colours didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled to achieve the vision in my mind. But the more I persisted, the more I understood oil paints. They balanced softness with depth, giving me the chance to create both delicate and grand images. The process of painting became reflective, a practice of exploring colours, textures (纹理) and emotions — sometimes rough, sometimes peaceful, but always rewarding. One evening, I noticed a strange shade of blue on my canvas (画布). It seemed out of place, as if it didn’t belong. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part of my recent work or a trick of the eye. As I stepped back to examine the canvas, the blue shade slowly began to make sense. It was not an error but an invitation — an unplanned element that added depth to the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected. From then on, I approached my work with a new sense of curiosity. I let colours blend more freely, allowed accidental mistakes to become part of the composition, and accepted that every brushstroke carried its own story. Oil painting not only gave me a medium to express myself but also taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of discovery. Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece. 24．Why did the author turn to oil paints? A．To enhance creativity. B．To save painting time. C．To seek deeper artistic control. D．To improve painting skills. 25．What challenge did the author face when working with oil paints? A．Balancing softness and sharpness. B．Creating a three-dimensional effect. C．Achieving the right shine and thickness. D．Controlling the drying time of the paints. 26．What message does the author want to convey? A．Art is a journey of welcoming imperfections. B．A good picture is worth a thousand words. C．Beauty is the ultimate goal of fine art. D．Creating is about exploring ideal self. 【答案】24．C 25．C 26．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者从水彩画转向油画的过程，以及在油画创作中所遇到的挑战和感悟。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control.(随着时间的推移，我对油画越来越感兴趣。虽然它们需要更长的时间来干燥，但它们给了我一种控制感。)”可知，作者转向油画是因为油画给了作者一种控制感，也就是让作者能寻求更深层次的艺术控制。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress.(然而，用油画颜料作画并不容易。要想获得合适的光泽度或厚度，需要耐心，有时，我因为缺乏进展而感到恼火。)”可知，作者在使用油画颜料时面临的挑战是达到合适的光泽度和厚度。故选C。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected.(那一刻，我意识到，绘画就像生活一样，不是关于完全的控制，而是关于接受意想不到的事情。)”和最后一段“Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece.(看着我完成的作品，我不再只是看到一层层的颜料。我看到了挣扎、喜悦和成长的瞬间交织在画布上——这提醒我们，艺术和其他任何事物一样，既关乎过程，也关乎最终的杰作。)”可知，作者想要传达的信息是艺术是一场接纳不完美的旅程。故选A。 C Researchers from the NeuroMind Institute have developed a new system that uses predator (捕食者) robots to chase (追逐) larval (幼体的) zebrafish in an open water. This innovative approach is helping scientists study how the young fish rapidly learn and adapt in real-world conditions. Larval zebrafish are a valuable tool for neuroscientists because their transparency enables easy study of the brain and behaviour. However, it’s been difficult for scientists to study learning in these developing vertebrates (脊椎动物) — an important part of understanding how the brain works. Previous research found young zebrafish could learn simple associations. But this type of learning happens slowly and often unreliably, and it was still unclear whether days-old zebrafish can learn fast enough to use their memory in natural situations, like recognizing and avoiding new predators. The researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab, where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild, might not be effective for uncovering how the fish learn. To model a real-life situation, the researchers used small robotic cylinders (圆柱体), with some programmed to show predator-like characteristics. The researchers created the dynamics: they first placed a robot that stayed still with a free-swimming zebrafish; after the robot chased the fish for a minute, the fish began avoiding the robot’s area for more than an hour — a big change from the non-avoidant behaviour before the chase experience. When a second robot was introduced that did not chase the fish, the zebrafish only avoided the chasing robot, showing that they could distinguish between a threat and a non-threat. Using this system, the researchers made an unexpected discovery that not only could larval zebrafish learn extremely quickly in a more natural context, but they could also do so just five days after beginning their lives as single cells. This was particularly surprising given the fact that a developing zebrafish larva contains just one percent or so of the neurons (神经元) in its adult form. The findings suggest that some essential learning abilities, like recognizing predators, emerge early in life and are critical for survival. Further brain imaging reveals that different regions of the zebrafish brain are involved in this rapid learning: the hindbrain, a region controlling essential functions, responds to the approaching predator; the forebrain, a region associated with learning and planning, encodes the presence of the predator robot; and the habenula, another brain area, signals avoidance outcomes. All these regions are necessary for learning, and silencing any of them removes the ability of the fish to learn. It is believed that the new work could offer insights into how other brains process real-world threats. 27．Why did the researchers develop a new system with larval zebrafish? A．To observe their hunting behaviours. B．To identify their simple associations. C．To examine their brain characteristics. D．To uncover their learning in natural settings. 28．What does the underlined word “dynamics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Interaction. B．Function. C．Structure. D．Standard. 29．What can we learn about larval zebrafish? A．They can distinguish between robots and fish. B．They learn fast through a multi-regional brain network. C．They develop learning abilities when reaching adulthood. D．They can recognise predators with much neurons needed. 30．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A．Explaining the robot design used in the experiment. B．Exploring danger processing in other species’ brains. C．Analysing the connection between learning and planning. D．Describing zebrafish behaviours in different surroundings. 【答案】27．D 28．A 29．B 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员用捕食者机器人追逐幼体斑马鱼来研究其学习能力，发现其能快速学习，且多脑区参与，或可启示其他大脑。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab, where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild, might not be effective for uncovering how the fish learn. To model a real-life situation, the researchers used small robotic cylinders (圆柱体), with some programmed to show predator-like characteristics.(研究人员认为，在实验室中测试斑马鱼幼虫学习的传统方法可能无法有效揭示鱼类的学习方式，因为那里的条件与野生斑马鱼的情况相去甚远。为了模拟现实生活中的情况，研究人员使用了小型机器人圆柱体，其中一些被编程为显示捕食者般的特征)”可推知，研究人员开发新系统是为了揭示幼体斑马鱼在自然环境中的学习情况，因为传统在实验室的测试方法难以揭示它们在自然情况下的学习方式。故选D项。 28．词句猜测题。根据第四段“The researchers created the dynamics: they first placed a robot that stayed still with a free-swimming zebrafish; after the robot chased the fish for a minute, the fish began avoiding the robot’s area for more than an hour — a big change from the non-avoidant behaviour before the chase experience. When a second robot was introduced that did not chase the fish, the zebrafish only avoided the chasing robot, showing that they could distinguish between a threat and a non-threat.(研究人员创造了dynamics：他们首先将一个静止的机器人放在一条自由游动的斑马鱼身上；在机器人追逐鱼一分钟后，鱼开始避开机器人的区域一个多小时，这与追逐体验前的非回避行为相比发生了很大变化。当引入第二个不追逐鱼的机器人时，斑马鱼只是避开了追逐的机器人，表明它们可以区分威胁和非威胁)”可知，研究人员创造了这种dynamics，后面描述了机器人和斑马鱼之间的互动过程，所以dynamics在这里指的是机器人和斑马鱼之间的“互动”，与Interaction意义相近。故选A项。 29．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Further brain imaging reveals that different regions of the zebrafish brain are involved in this rapid learning: the hindbrain, a region controlling essential functions, responds to the approaching predator; the forebrain, a region associated with learning and planning, encodes the presence of the predator robot; and the habenula, another brain area, signals avoidance outcomes. All these regions are necessary for learning, and silencing any of them removes the ability of the fish to learn.(进一步的脑成像显示，斑马鱼大脑的不同区域参与了这种快速学习：后脑是一个控制基本功能的区域，对接近的捕食者做出反应；前脑是一个与学习和规划相关的区域，对捕食者机器人的存在进行编码；缰核是另一个大脑区域，它发出回避结果的信号。所有这些区域都是学习所必需的，沉默其中任何一个区域都会剥夺鱼的学习能力)”可知，幼体斑马鱼的后脑、前脑和缰核等不同脑区都参与了这种快速学习，它们通过一个多脑区的网络快速学习。故选B项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is believed that the new work could offer insights into how other brains process real-world threats.(据信，这项新工作可以为其他大脑如何处理现实世界的威胁提供见解)”可知，这项新工作可能会为了解其他大脑如何处理现实世界的威胁提供见解。由此推知，接下来作者最有可能讨论的是探索其他物种大脑中对危险的处理情况。故选B项。 D Imagine a not-too-distant future, where we each inhabit our own AI-driven digital filter (过滤) bubble, crafted for us alone and designed to serve corporate interests. This future resembles 1998’s movie The Truman Show, where the main character unknowingly lived his entire life within a reality TV show designed by a production studio. One subset of AI, large language models (LLM), won’t turn our lives into reality TV shows. Instead, personalized AI agents threaten to cage each of us in an individualized and illusory (虚假的) unreality, profiting from our digital activities and walling us off from genuine connections. Many companies are developing individualized LLM. The underlying principle is that AI will learn about the individual user and adapt accordingly. For example, if you’re a super fan of a football team, you’ll be fed updates, ads, and videos tailored to your interests 24 hours a day. Some algorithms may even learn your schedule, pushing information at you during precisely those times when you’re most likely to be looking. This may sound harmless. But the next step is to use LLM to create memes, or even fake articles,feeding you conspiracy theories about rival teams. This is a miserable reality for at least two reasons.For one, there are neither computational methods or ethical incentives (激励) in place to ensure that the information you receive is true. But just as frightening as the lack of regard for the truth is an even scarier element. You will no longer live with an accurate understanding of football team that is fully compatible with anyone else’s. You will run on information generated only for yourself. This vision is unsettling, even in sports and entertainment. But what of institutions that have more direct social consequences?Education? Politics? With the fall of the press and polarization of everything,conversations around holiday table have already become impossible for many extended families. Bad as the status quo might be, stranger times lie ahead that make us long for today’s echo chambers (信息茧房). Soon, our bubbles will shrink further and further,until our digital worlds involve only ourselves. In an Al-mediated future,everyone will live in a private Truman Show. As a society, we will be completely incapable of making fruitful collective decisions because we will have no shared understanding of the world. What’s the way out? Find your entertainment in spaces with actual people, exchanging thoughts and creations with each other. Even online, we must keep our understanding of the world grounded in human-authored documents and artifacts. Valuing what humans create is not merely a matter of authenticity; it also ensures we focus on arguments that an author cared enough to make, on conservations that speakers cared enough to have. Otherwise,The Truman Show’s premise becomes our reality, unknowingly inhabiting a fake world where our every experience is designed for profit. Even more existentially alienating? Living in a Truman Show where the director, producer and the only one watching is an AI. 31．The author mentions The Truman Show in Paragraph 1 to . A．make a comparison B．illustrate a situation C．support an argument D．propose a suggestion 32．According to the passage, personalized AI agents may . A．isolate individuals in false realities B．confirm the credibility of the content C．discourage the companies’ ethical incentives D．improve user behavior by feeding targeted ads 33．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Algorithms have raised concerns over privacy. B．LLMs are in great need of computational upgrade. C．Echo chambers weaken collective decision-making. D．Technology development results in polarized society. 34．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．AI and the Future of Human Interaction B．AI Will Turn Our Lives into The Truman Show C．The Truman Show Predicts AI’s Impact on Media D．Algorithmic Bubbles and the Value of Human Creations 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．C 34．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了个性化AI代理可能将人类生活变成虚假现实的问题。 31．推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine a not-too-distant future, where we each inhabit our own AI-driven digital filter (过滤) bubble, crafted for us alone and designed to serve corporate interests. This future resembles 1998’s movie The Truman Show, where the main character unknowingly lived his entire life within a reality TV show designed by a production studio. (想象一下不太遥远的未来，我们每个人都生活在自己的人工智能驱动的数字过滤泡沫中，这个泡沫是专门为我们打造的，旨在服务企业利益。这个未来类似于1998年的电影《楚门的世界》，在电影中，主角在不知情的情况下，在一档由制作工作室设计的真人秀节目中度过了他的一生。)”可知，作者在第一段提到《楚门的世界》是为了说明一种可能出现的情况，即我们每个人都生活在自己的人工智能驱动的数字过滤泡沫中。故选B。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Instead, personalized AI agents threaten to cage each of us in an individualized and illusory (虚假的) unreality, profiting from our digital activities and walling us off from genuine connections. (相反，个性化的AI代理威胁着将我们每个人困在一个个性化和虚幻的不真实世界中，从我们的数字活动中获利，并将我们与真正的联系隔离开来。)”可知，个性化的AI代理可能会将个人隔离在虚假现实中。故选A。 33．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Bad as the status quo might be, stranger times lie ahead that make us long for today’s echo chambers (信息茧房). Soon, our bubbles will shrink further and further,until our digital worlds involve only ourselves. In an Al-mediated future,everyone will live in a private Truman Show. As a society, we will be completely incapable of making fruitful collective decisions because we will have no shared understanding of the world. (在一个由AI介导的未来，每个人都将生活在一个私人的《楚门的世界》中。作为一个社会，我们将完全无法做出富有成效的集体决策，因为我们将对世界没有共同的理解。)”可知，信息茧房会削弱集体决策能力。故选C。 34．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Otherwise,The Truman Show’s premise becomes our reality, unknowingly inhabiting a fake world where our every experience is designed for profit. Even more existentially alienating? Living in a Truman Show where the director, producer and the only one watching is an AI. (否则，《楚门的世界》的前提就会成为我们的现实，我们会在不知不觉中生活在一个虚假的世界里，我们的每一次经历都是为了盈利而设计的。更让人感到存在上的疏离呢？生活在一个《楚门的世界》里，导演、制片人和唯一的观众都是人工智能。)”可知，文章主要论述了个性化AI代理可能将人类生活变成虚假现实的问题，就像《楚门的世界》一样。B选项“AI Will Turn Our Lives into The Truman Show (人工智能将把我们的生活变成《楚门的世界》)”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. 35 In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill. If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. 36 It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings. 37 At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. 38 Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. 39 As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference. A．It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support. B．We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad. C．In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind. D．This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones. E．If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact. F．A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety. G．After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported. 【答案】35．F 36．A 37．B 38．C 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人际关系中的爱恨交织现象及其应对策略。 35．上文“When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support.(当我想到我的朋友时，我大多充满了爱和温暖：我迫不及待地想再次见到他们，得到他们的关爱和支持)”说明作者想到朋友时，大多充满了爱和温暖。结合下文“In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.(心情好的时候，这些人能让我度过一个充满乐趣的夜晚，但心情不好的时候，他们会耗尽我所有的善意)”推知，空处和前文为转折关系，说明有些朋友给作者带来的是不同的感受。F项中的However表示转折，“stimulate quite different emotions”与上文的“filled with love and warmth”形成对比，说明有些朋友会激起不同的情感。所以F项“然而，有少数人激起了截然不同的情感——渴望和焦虑的混合体。”符合语境。故选F。 36．上文“Their ambivalence can come in many forms.(他们的矛盾心理可能以多种形式出现)”说明他们的矛盾心理有多种表现形式。空处承接上文，举例说明矛盾心理的一种表现形式。A项“可能是一个在你需要他支持时却经常不在身边的朋友。”符合语境。故选A。 37．下文“At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships.(至少，你会期望他们比我们厌恶的关系对我们更好)”说明人们期望这种爱恨交织的关系能带来一些好处。B项中的“We might hope”与下文的“you would expect”相呼应，“the good would outweigh the bad”与下文的“better for us than our aversive relationships”相契合。所以B项“我们可能希望在这样的关系中，好的一面会超过坏的一面。”符合语境。故选B。 38．上文“Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing.(杨百翰大学的另一项研究发现，当参与者准备演讲时，仅仅知道一个爱恨交织的人就在附近，就足以让他们的血压飙升)”说明即使是无意识的提醒也会让人血压升高。C项中的“even unconscious reminders”与上文的“simply knowing”相呼应，“break our peace of mind”与上文的“send their blood pressure rocketing”相契合，进一步说明这种关系的影响。所以C项“事实上，即使是无意识地想起一个爱恨交织的人，也会打破我们的平静。”符合语境。故选C。 39．上文“We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies.(在与爱恨交织的人交往时，我们可以管理自己的期望，并在心理上为这种复杂的情感做好准备)”说明我们可以管理自己的期望，为复杂的情感做好准备。D项中的“This allows us”承接上文，“focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones”与上文的“manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves”相契合，说明这样做的好处。所以D项“这让我们能够关注他们的优点，并对不愉快的方面表示同情。”符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32 分) 第一节 (共 4 小题； 第 40、41 题各 2 分， 第 42 题 3 分， 第 43 题 5 分， 共 12 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test, where children were given the choice between eating one marshmallow immediately or waiting for two later, may have revealed more than just willpower — it might help explain why some people maintain sharper cognitive function as they age. A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems. Think of your brain as a muscle that gets stronger with practice. Every time you choose a long-term benefit over immediate pleasure, you’re essentially doing a mental workout. This workout engages particularly the brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges. Regularly exercising self-control may help maintain cognitive function. The science behind this connection is fascinating. When we resist immediate rewards, we stimulate “cool” regulation strategies in the rational (理性的) reasoning center of decision-making. In contrast, giving in to immediate satisfaction typically involves “hot” strategies in the brain areas associated with emotional decision-making. The more we practice using these “cool” strategies, the stronger our brain pathways become. This could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. The good news is that these skills can be developed at any age. Simple strategies like setting specific goals, creating detailed action plans, and using monitoring techniques can help. Also, physical activity plays a particularly important role. Remember, it’s never too late to start building these protective cognitive skills. The key is consistent practice and a conscious (有意识的) effort to make choices that prioritize long-term benefits over immediate rewards. 40．According to the recent research, what could the ability to delay satisfaction help? 41．Which brain area does delayed satisfaction particularly work out? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. As we grow older, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. 43．Please share one of your experiences of delayed satisfaction. （In about 40words） 【答案】 40． It could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems. 41． The brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges. 42．As we grow older, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. At any age, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. 43．开放题 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了延迟满足感可以帮助保护人们不出现记忆或思维问题。 40．考查细节理解。根据第一段“A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems.(最近的一项研究表明，延迟满足感的能力可以帮助保护人们不出现记忆或思维问题。)”可知，延迟满足感的能力可以帮助保护人们不出现记忆或思维问题。故答案为It could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems.。 41．考查细节理解。根据第二段“This workout engages particularly the brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges.(这种锻炼特别涉及到负责计划、推理和控制冲动的大脑区域。)”可知，延迟满足感特别锻炼负责计划、推理和控制冲动的大脑区域。故答案为The brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges.。 42．考查推理判断。根据第四段“The good news is that these skills can be developed at any age.(好消息是，这些技能可以在任何年龄培养。)”可知，好消息是，在任何年龄，我们都可以加强我们的大脑通路，这有助于延缓或防止记忆丧失或思维问题。故As we grow older错误，应改为At any age。故答案为As we grow older, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. At any age, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems.。 43．考查开放性试题。根据第一段“A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems.(最近的一项研究表明，延迟满足感的能力可以帮助保护人们不出现记忆或思维问题。)”结合自己延迟满足感的经历，讲述一件延迟满足感的事情。故答案为One day, I really wanted to buy a new game, but I had a test coming up. I decided to wait and study for the test instead. After doing well on the test, I felt more satisfied and rewarded, knowing I had prioritized my responsibilities.（开放性试题，答案合理即可） 第二节 (20 分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校正在举办以“美丽校园”为主题的原创作品征集活动，交换生Jim打算参加，发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 建议创作内容； 2. 就以上建议简要说明理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, Excited about your plan to participate in “The Beauty of Campus” activity!

Every day, I saw them huddled together, their fur matted and eyes filled with hope and 1 . As I watched them, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to take action. Every morning, I put cat food near our building. The cats appeared, 2 at first, then rushing toward me as if they had been waiting all along. Feeding them became a ritual that strengthened our bond. As winter approached, my 3 grew. I couldn’t bear the thought of those 4 creatures suffering in the biting cold. I then set up cozy corners for them in the damp basement of our building. However, not everyone shared my compassion. One neighbor insisted on getting rid of the cats. He called Animal Control to have them 5 . Our debates were heated, but I advocated for them as I knew they had no one else to defend them. As weeks passed, I felt an urge to find loving homes for the cats. I 6 friends and posted on social media. To my delight, four of them found new families. Each 7 felt like a victory in my mission to make a difference. Then there was one cat, Joy, who stole my heart completely. When I took him in, it was as if he had always 8 in my home. His playful and silly behaviour brought laughter to my days, and his gentle purring at night brought me peace. Through this experience, I’ve found 9 in my voice, learning to advocate for the voiceless. I’ve learned we all have the power to make the world a better place for all beings, no matter how small our actions may seem.

But not all online or homeschool programs are set up to accommodate science experiments or other STEM learning activities. Let’s take a look at a few mind-blowing labs that can help bring STEM topics alive for your child’s online school experience.Weather Laboratories To make learning about weather accessible and fun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) created a lot of informative weather activities and virtual labs they recommend for students and educators. In fact, their weather science content for kids features a Weather Lab application that allows middle school students to predict weather patterns, and learn what happens when ocean currents and air masses interact.Simulations (模拟) for Science and Math It is a project of the University of Colorado Boulder and one of the richest single databases of online science interactives and virtual labs. Investigate more than 150 physics, chemistry, math, biology, and Earth science topics. Available in dozens of languages, the interactives are searchable by grade level, subject, and accessibility.Space Exploration Simulations The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) features many STEM learning activities for students in grades K-12. The interactive simulations are also gamified and make learning engaging and fun for your child. The app allows users to explore the universe and unlock stories of trailblazing scientists and their contributions to space exploration and science. 21．Who are the intended readers? A．Parents. B．Students. C．Teachers. D．Researchers. 22．What makes Simulations for Science and Math different from the other labs? A．It covers the most subjects. B．It has a translation centre. C．It offers gamified learning experiences. D．It provides multiple tools for recording. 23．What do all the three labs have in common? A．They centre on problem solving skills. B．They facilitate advanced scientific research. C．They provide virtual scientific exploration. D．They help students with STEM projects from school. B In my early forties, I began painting with watercolours. Each brushstroke on paper turned into a personal language, allowing me to express the inexpressible. The feeling of colour being absorbed into the paper was calming, yet it left me longing for something deeper. Over time, I became more interested in oil paints. Although they took longer to dry, they offered me a sense of control. Layers of paints combined smoothly, creating a three-dimensional effect that watercolours couldn’t copy. Oil paints granted me the precious opportunity to take a few steps back, as if I were a curious explorer approaching a hidden landscape. However, working with oil paints wasn’t easy. Getting the right shine or thickness required patience, and at times, I felt annoyed by my lack of progress. Colours didn’t always behave as expected, and I struggled to achieve the vision in my mind. But the more I persisted, the more I understood oil paints. They balanced softness with depth, giving me the chance to create both delicate and grand images. The process of painting became reflective, a practice of exploring colours, textures (纹理) and emotions — sometimes rough, sometimes peaceful, but always rewarding. One evening, I noticed a strange shade of blue on my canvas (画布). It seemed out of place, as if it didn’t belong. My heart skipped a beat, and I stared at it, uncertain if it was part of my recent work or a trick of the eye. As I stepped back to examine the canvas, the blue shade slowly began to make sense. It was not an error but an invitation — an unplanned element that added depth to the piece in a way I hadn’t expected. At that moment, I realised that painting, much like life, was not about complete control but about embracing the unexpected. From then on, I approached my work with a new sense of curiosity. I let colours blend more freely, allowed accidental mistakes to become part of the composition, and accepted that every brushstroke carried its own story. Oil painting not only gave me a medium to express myself but also taught me patience, resilience, and the beauty of discovery. Looking at my finished work, I no longer saw just layers of paints. I saw moments of struggle, joy, and growth woven into the canvas — a reminder that art, like any, is as much about the process as it is about the final masterpiece. 24．Why did the author turn to oil paints? A．To enhance creativity. B．To save painting time. C．To seek deeper artistic control. D．To improve painting skills. 25．What challenge did the author face when working with oil paints? A．Balancing softness and sharpness. B．Creating a three-dimensional effect. C．Achieving the right shine and thickness. D．Controlling the drying time of the paints. 26．What message does the author want to convey? A．Art is a journey of welcoming imperfections. B．A good picture is worth a thousand words. C．Beauty is the ultimate goal of fine art. D．Creating is about exploring ideal self. C Researchers from the NeuroMind Institute have developed a new system that uses predator (捕食者) robots to chase (追逐) larval (幼体的) zebrafish in an open water. This innovative approach is helping scientists study how the young fish rapidly learn and adapt in real-world conditions. Larval zebrafish are a valuable tool for neuroscientists because their transparency enables easy study of the brain and behaviour. However, it’s been difficult for scientists to study learning in these developing vertebrates (脊椎动物) — an important part of understanding how the brain works. Previous research found young zebrafish could learn simple associations. But this type of learning happens slowly and often unreliably, and it was still unclear whether days-old zebrafish can learn fast enough to use their memory in natural situations, like recognizing and avoiding new predators. The researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab, where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild, might not be effective for uncovering how the fish learn. To model a real-life situation, the researchers used small robotic cylinders (圆柱体), with some programmed to show predator-like characteristics. The researchers created the dynamics: they first placed a robot that stayed still with a free-swimming zebrafish; after the robot chased the fish for a minute, the fish began avoiding the robot’s area for more than an hour — a big change from the non-avoidant behaviour before the chase experience. When a second robot was introduced that did not chase the fish, the zebrafish only avoided the chasing robot, showing that they could distinguish between a threat and a non-threat. Using this system, the researchers made an unexpected discovery that not only could larval zebrafish learn extremely quickly in a more natural context, but they could also do so just five days after beginning their lives as single cells. This was particularly surprising given the fact that a developing zebrafish larva contains just one percent or so of the neurons (神经元) in its adult form. The findings suggest that some essential learning abilities, like recognizing predators, emerge early in life and are critical for survival. Further brain imaging reveals that different regions of the zebrafish brain are involved in this rapid learning: the hindbrain, a region controlling essential functions, responds to the approaching predator; the forebrain, a region associated with learning and planning, encodes the presence of the predator robot; and the habenula, another brain area, signals avoidance outcomes. All these regions are necessary for learning, and silencing any of them removes the ability of the fish to learn. It is believed that the new work could offer insights into how other brains process real-world threats. 27．Why did the researchers develop a new system with larval zebrafish? A．To observe their hunting behaviours. B．To identify their simple associations. C．To examine their brain characteristics. D．To uncover their learning in natural settings. 28．What does the underlined word “dynamics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Interaction. B．Function. C．Structure. D．Standard. 29．What can we learn about larval zebrafish? A．They can distinguish between robots and fish. B．They learn fast through a multi-regional brain network. C．They develop learning abilities when reaching adulthood. D．They can recognise predators with much neurons needed. 30．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A．Explaining the robot design used in the experiment. B．Exploring danger processing in other species’ brains. C．Analysing the connection between learning and planning. D．Describing zebrafish behaviours in different surroundings. D Imagine a not-too-distant future, where we each inhabit our own AI-driven digital filter (过滤) bubble, crafted for us alone and designed to serve corporate interests. This future resembles 1998’s movie The Truman Show, where the main character unknowingly lived his entire life within a reality TV show designed by a production studio. One subset of AI, large language models (LLM), won’t turn our lives into reality TV shows. Instead, personalized AI agents threaten to cage each of us in an individualized and illusory (虚假的) unreality, profiting from our digital activities and walling us off from genuine connections. Many companies are developing individualized LLM. The underlying principle is that AI will learn about the individual user and adapt accordingly. For example, if you’re a super fan of a football team, you’ll be fed updates, ads, and videos tailored to your interests 24 hours a day. Some algorithms may even learn your schedule, pushing information at you during precisely those times when you’re most likely to be looking. This may sound harmless. But the next step is to use LLM to create memes, or even fake articles,feeding you conspiracy theories about rival teams. This is a miserable reality for at least two reasons.For one, there are neither computational methods or ethical incentives (激励) in place to ensure that the information you receive is true. But just as frightening as the lack of regard for the truth is an even scarier element. You will no longer live with an accurate understanding of football team that is fully compatible with anyone else’s. You will run on information generated only for yourself. This vision is unsettling, even in sports and entertainment. But what of institutions that have more direct social consequences?Education? Politics? With the fall of the press and polarization of everything,conversations around holiday table have already become impossible for many extended families. Bad as the status quo might be, stranger times lie ahead that make us long for today’s echo chambers (信息茧房). Soon, our bubbles will shrink further and further,until our digital worlds involve only ourselves. In an Al-mediated future,everyone will live in a private Truman Show. As a society, we will be completely incapable of making fruitful collective decisions because we will have no shared understanding of the world. What’s the way out? Find your entertainment in spaces with actual people, exchanging thoughts and creations with each other. Even online, we must keep our understanding of the world grounded in human-authored documents and artifacts. Valuing what humans create is not merely a matter of authenticity; it also ensures we focus on arguments that an author cared enough to make, on conservations that speakers cared enough to have. Otherwise,The Truman Show’s premise becomes our reality, unknowingly inhabiting a fake world where our every experience is designed for profit. Even more existentially alienating?

If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. 36 It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings. 37 At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. 38 Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. 39 As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference. A．It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support. B．We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad. C．In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind. D．This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones. E．If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact. F．A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety. G．After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported. 第三部分 书面表达(共两节，32 分) 第一节 (共 4 小题； 第 40、41 题各 2 分， 第 42 题 3 分， 第 43 题 5 分， 共 12 分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 The famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test, where children were given the choice between eating one marshmallow immediately or waiting for two later, may have revealed more than just willpower — it might help explain why some people maintain sharper cognitive function as they age. A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems. Think of your brain as a muscle that gets stronger with practice. Every time you choose a long-term benefit over immediate pleasure, you’re essentially doing a mental workout. This workout engages particularly the brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges. Regularly exercising self-control may help maintain cognitive function. The science behind this connection is fascinating. When we resist immediate rewards, we stimulate “cool” regulation strategies in the rational (理性的) reasoning center of decision-making. In contrast, giving in to immediate satisfaction typically involves “hot” strategies in the brain areas associated with emotional decision-making. The more we practice using these “cool” strategies, the stronger our brain pathways become. This could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. The good news is that these skills can be developed at any age. Simple strategies like setting specific goals, creating detailed action plans, and using monitoring techniques can help. Also, physical activity plays a particularly important role. Remember, it’s never too late to start building these protective cognitive skills. The key is consistent practice and a conscious (有意识的) effort to make choices that prioritize long-term benefits over immediate rewards. 40．According to the recent research, what could the ability to delay satisfaction help? 41．Which brain area does delayed satisfaction particularly work out? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. As we grow older, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems. 43．Please share one of your experiences of delayed satisfaction. （In about 40words） 第二节 (20 分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你校正在举办以“美丽校园”为主题的原创作品征集活动，交换生Jim打算参加，发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1. 建议创作内容； 2. 就以上建议简要说明理由。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 试题 第5页（共12页） 试题 第6页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
