B When I was a teenage boy my parents signed me up in a local junior golf camp. Since that moment, my life has been pretty much devoted to the game. When I play golf, there’s always a chance of making something magical happen — whether it’s breaking a personal record or potentially making a hole-in-one. This is the aspect of golf that attracted me in growing up. However, I had to take a break because I couldn’t really afford to play while in college, suffering from burnout. I’d still go out once in a while to play with friends, but for the first time since my teens, I was away from my community. Several years later, my enthusiasm for playing golf was inspired again. I became familiar with the game again after playing on and off at Langston Golf Course. From the moment I arrived, this place felt like one of the courses where I grew up: A modest spot where people of all working-class backgrounds came to experience the game, eat lunch or have a drink. The sense of community I’ve regained with the game is more than I’ve ever imagined. I like hiking around, chasing a little white ball around a golf course. I also like connecting with old friends and meeting new ones. Some I’ve been playing with since high school, and our text threads are loaded with trash talk about who’s playing well and who isn’t. They’ re usually the ones spurring me to practice and get better. We share experiences on the golf course that are memorable and have stories for days: My circle only seems to be expanding, and I’m excited to see what the future holds. 4. Why was the author once away from his golf community? A. He couldn’t spare time to play golf. B. He didn’t feel a sense of achievement. C. He wanted to make more new friends. D. He tried to get out of his parents’ control. 5. What does the author say about Langston Golf Course? A. It witnessed his accomplishments. B. It erased his past memories. C. It offered him a sense of belonging. D. It reminded him to keep modest. 6. What does the underlined word “spurring” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Ordering. B. Warning. C. Forbidding. D. Pushing. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Golf: My Journey to Ambition B. Golf: More Than a Game to Me C. Discovering Enthusiasm for Golf D. Pursuing Perfection Through Golf C Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) today have a better taste compared to the ones you might recall from your childhood. This is due to the fact that a new variety has taken the place of the original vegetable. You can credit plant breeders for this transformation. Equipped with novel gene-editing technology, modern breeders are aiming to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention. In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish. But other vegetables haven’t succeeded as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored. People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University. Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glycosylates. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens. All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.” 8. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds? A. To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts. B. To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts. C. To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts. D. To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter. 9. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4? A. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming. B. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need improving further. C. Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species. D. Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology. 10. Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Klee? A. Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits. B. Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people. C. Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits. D. Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits. 11. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. An advertisement. B. A scientific journal. C. A book review. D. A biology textbook. D Since the dawn of human history, innovation has been a balancing act of wonder and fear. From the discovery of fire to the first flights of airplanes, each technological breakthrough has promised to enhance human abilities while simultaneously (同时) causing risks. Fire could warm us or destroy us; airplanes could connect us or be turned into tools of war. Yet through all these advancements, one constant has remained: human cognition (认知), the unique spark of thought and creativity that has shaped our progress. But today, something is different. For the first time in history, human cognition itself is at risk of being out-of-date. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), we are no longer just building tools to enhance our abilities; we are building systems that may be superior to our very capacity to think, create, and innovate. This shift doesn’t just completely change industries, but it also challenges the core of what makes us human. In past innovations, technologies functioned as extensions of human abilities. The airplanes enlarged our physical reach, the Internet expanded our access to information, and computers increased our ability to compute. These tools were clearly under human control, operating within the boundaries we set. However, AI is fundamentally different. It operates in the range of cognition, not merely conducting tasks, but also learning, reasoning, and even generating creative content. From writing news articles to diagnosing diseases, AI systems are performing tasks once thought to require uniquely human judgment. What happens when machines can think better than we can? And, more importantly, what does it mean to be human in an age when our intellectual strength is no longer guaranteed? Historically, we’ve accepted obsolescence (过时) as part of the cycle of innovation and, in most situations, embraced it. Outdated tools should be abandoned, and new ones take their place. But when the “tool” at risk of obsolescence is human cognition itself, we enter unknown area. AI’s capacity to potentially outdo our intellectual talents puts humanity in a weak position, one where we must confront our own limitations. 12. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Take things as they come. C. Don’t put the cart before the horse. D. Every coin has two sides. 13. What does the author mean by saying “But today, something is different” in paragraph 2? A. Creativity has shaped our progress. B. Human cognition is being challenged. C. Innovations create more wonders than fears. D. Technological breakthroughs have reached a ceiling. 14. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By telling stories. B. By presenting data. C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the rise of artificial intelligence according to the last paragraph? A. Concerned. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 第三节(共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Creating an association (社团) at senior high school can be a rewarding experience. ____16____.

Since that moment, my life has been pretty much devoted to the game. When I play golf, there’s always a chance of making something magical happen — whether it’s breaking a personal record or potentially making a hole-in-one. This is the aspect of golf that attracted me in growing up. However, I had to take a break because I couldn’t really afford to play while in college, suffering from burnout. I’d still go out once in a while to play with friends, but for the first time since my teens, I was away from my community. Several years later, my enthusiasm for playing golf was inspired again. I became familiar with the game again after playing on and off at Langston Golf Course. From the moment I arrived, this place felt like one of the courses where I grew up: A modest spot where people of all working-class backgrounds came to experience the game, eat lunch or have a drink. The sense of community I’ve regained with the game is more than I’ve ever imagined. I like hiking around, chasing a little white ball around a golf course. I also like connecting with old friends and meeting new ones. Some I’ve been playing with since high school, and our text threads are loaded with trash talk about who’s playing well and who isn’t. They’ re usually the ones spurring me to practice and get better. We share experiences on the golf course that are memorable and have stories for days: My circle only seems to be expanding, and I’m excited to see what the future holds. 4. Why was the author once away from his golf community? A. He couldn’t spare time to play golf. B. He didn’t feel a sense of achievement. C. He wanted to make more new friends. D. He tried to get out of his parents’ control. 5. What does the author say about Langston Golf Course? A. It witnessed his accomplishments. B. It erased his past memories. C. It offered him a sense of belonging. D. It reminded him to keep modest. 6. What does the underlined word “spurring” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Ordering. B. Warning. C. Forbidding. D. Pushing. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Golf: My Journey to Ambition B. Golf: More Than a Game to Me C. Discovering Enthusiasm for Golf D. Pursuing Perfection Through Golf 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与高尔夫球的深厚情缘，以及通过这项运动重拾社区感和个人热情的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, I had to take a break because I couldn’t really afford to play while in college, suffering from burnout. I’d still go out once in a while to play with friends, but for the first time since my teens, I was away from my community.(然而，我不得不中断一段时间，因为上大学时我实在抽不出时间打球，因为精疲力尽。虽然我偶尔还会和朋友一起出去打球，但这是我自青少年以来第一次远离我的社区)”可知，作者曾经离开他的高尔夫社区是因为他抽不出时间打高尔夫。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“From the moment I arrived, this place felt like one of the courses where I grew up: A modest spot where people of all working-class backgrounds came to experience the game, eat lunch or have a drink.(从我到达的那一刻起，这个地方就像是我成长过程中的球场之一：一个简陋的地方，所有工薪阶层背景的人都会来这里体验比赛、吃午饭或喝一杯)”以及第四段中“The sense of community I’ve regained with the game is more than I’ve ever imagined.(我从这项运动中重新获得的社区感比我想象的要多得多)”可推知，作者认为Langston高尔夫球场给了他一种归属感。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Some I’ve been playing with since high school, and our text threads are loaded with trash talk about who’s playing well and who isn’t. They’re usually the ones spurring me to practice and get better.(有些人从高中起就和我一起打球，我们的聊天记录里充满了关于谁打得好、谁打得不好的玩笑话。他们通常是那些spurring我练习并变得更好的人)”可知，作者和一些从高中就一起打球的朋友之间会互相调侃谁打得好谁打得不好，而这些朋友通常就是促使他去练习并变得更好的人。“spurring”在这里表示“激励，促使”，与“pushing”意思相近。A. Ordering命令；B. Warning警告；C. Forbidding禁止；D. Pushing推动。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When I was a teenage boy, my parents signed me up in a local junior golf camp. Since that moment, my life has been pretty much devoted to the game.(当我还是个十几岁的男孩时，我的父母给我报名参加了当地的一个青少年高尔夫营地。从那一刻起，我的生活就几乎都奉献给了这项运动)”结合文章其他内容可知，文章讲述了作者从青少年时期开始接触高尔夫，后来因大学学业原因离开，之后又重新找回对高尔夫的热情，并且在兰斯顿高尔夫球场不仅重新熟悉了这项运动，还重新获得了社区感，结交了朋友，高尔夫对他来说不仅仅是一项运动，更是他生活中重要的一部分，给他带来了很多意义和感受。B选项“Golf: More Than a Game to Me(高尔夫：对我来说不仅仅是一项运动)”能准确概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选B。 C Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) today have a better taste compared to the ones you might recall from your childhood. This is due to the fact that a new variety has taken the place of the original vegetable. You can credit plant breeders for this transformation. Equipped with novel gene-editing technology, modern breeders are aiming to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention. In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish. But other vegetables haven’t succeeded as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored. People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University. Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glycosylates. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens. All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.” 8. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds? A. To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts. B. To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts. C. To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts. D. To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter. 9. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4? A. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming. B. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need improving further. C. Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species. D. Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology. 10. Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Klee? A. Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits. B. Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people. C. Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits. D. Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits. 11. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. An advertisement. B. A scientific journal. C A book review. D. A biology textbook. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过育种技术改善蔬菜口感的研究与进展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. (植物育种者开始种植因产量低而被遗弃的老种子，以寻找含有较少这些特定化学物质、味道更好的品种)”可知，植物育种者种植老的孢子甘蓝种子是为了找到苦味较轻的品种。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Susan Brown的话““There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University. (康奈尔大学苹果育种专家Susan Brown表示：“对于水果或蔬菜育种者来说，现在是一个前所未有的好时代，因为我们拥有了更多的工具和技术。”)”可知，从Susan Brown的话中我们可以了解到水果和蔬菜育种技术正在蓬勃发展。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.(只要给他们味道更好、他们想吃的产品)”可知，根据Klee的观点，让人们多吃水果和蔬菜的最好方法是提高蔬菜和水果的味道。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段“Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) today have a better taste compared to the ones you might recall from your childhood. This is due to the fact that a new variety has taken the place of the original vegetable. You can credit plant breeders for this transformation. Equipped with novel gene-editing technology, modern breeders are aiming to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention. (与童年记忆中相比，如今的孢子甘蓝味道更佳。这是因为一个新品种取代了原来的蔬菜。这一转变要归功于植物育种者。借助新型的基因编辑技术，现代育种者正致力于重现孢子甘蓝的改良过程)”可知，文章主要介绍了通过育种技术改善蔬菜口感的研究与进展，属于科学研究的范畴，因此最有可能来自科学期刊。故选B。 D Since the dawn of human history, innovation has been a balancing act of wonder and fear. From the discovery of fire to the first flights of airplanes, each technological breakthrough has promised to enhance human abilities while simultaneously (同时) causing risks. Fire could warm us or destroy us; airplanes could connect us or be turned into tools of war. Yet through all these advancements, one constant has remained: human cognition (认知), the unique spark of thought and creativity that has shaped our progress. But today, something is different. For the first time in history, human cognition itself is at risk of being out-of-date. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), we are no longer just building tools to enhance our abilities; we are building systems that may be superior to our very capacity to think, create, and innovate. This shift doesn’t just completely change industries, but it also challenges the core of what makes us human. In past innovations, technologies functioned as extensions of human abilities. The airplanes enlarged our physical reach, the Internet expanded our access to information, and computers increased our ability to compute. These tools were clearly under human control, operating within the boundaries we set. However, AI is fundamentally different. It operates in the range of cognition, not merely conducting tasks, but also learning, reasoning, and even generating creative content. From writing news articles to diagnosing diseases, AI systems are performing tasks once thought to require uniquely human judgment. What happens when machines can think better than we can? And, more importantly, what does it mean to be human in an age when our intellectual strength is no longer guaranteed? Historically, we’ve accepted obsolescence (过时) as part of the cycle of innovation and, in most situations, embraced it. Outdated tools should be abandoned, and new ones take their place. But when the “tool” at risk of obsolescence is human cognition itself, we enter unknown area. AI’s capacity to potentially outdo our intellectual talents puts humanity in a weak position, one where we must confront our own limitations. 12. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Take things as they come. C. Don’t put the cart before the horse. D. Every coin has two sides. 13. What does the author mean by saying “But today, something is different” in paragraph 2? A. Creativity has shaped our progress. B. Human cognition is being challenged. C. Innovations create more wonders than fears. D. Technological breakthroughs have reached a ceiling. 14. How is paragraph 3 developed? A. By telling stories. B. By presenting data. C. By giving examples. D. By analyzing cause and effect. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the rise of artificial intelligence according to the last paragraph? A. Concerned. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Unclear. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人工智能的崛起对人类认知的影响及挑战，以及这对未来人类的意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Since the dawn of human history, innovation has been a balancing act of wonder and fear. From the discovery of fire to the first flights of airplanes, each technological breakthrough has promised to enhance human abilities while simultaneously (同时) causing risks. Fire could warm us or destroy us; airplanes could connect us or be turned into tools of war.(自从人类历史发端以来，创新就一直是一场奇迹与恐惧并存的平衡之举。从火的发现到飞机的首次飞行，每一项技术突破都在有望提升人类能力的同时，也带来了风险。火可以温暖我们，也可以毁灭我们；飞机能够让我们彼此相连，也可能被变为战争工具)”可知，每一项技术突破都有两面性，即既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面。由此可推知，我们能从第一段推断出“事物都有两面性”。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“But today, something is different. For the first time in history, human cognition itself is at risk of being out-of-date. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), we are no longer just building tools to enhance our abilities; we are building systems that may be superior to our very capacity to think, create, and innovate.This shift doesn’t just completely change industries, but it also challenges the core of what makes us human. (但今天，情况有所不同。有史以来第一次，人类的认知本身面临着过时的风险。随着人工智能的兴起，我们不再只是制造工具来增强我们的能力；我们正在构建的系统可能超越我们思考、创造和创新的能力。这种转变不仅彻底改变了各个行业，而且还对定义我们人类本质的核心要素发起了挑战)”可知，作者说“但今天，情况有所不同”，意思是人类的认知正在受到挑战。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In past innovations, technologies functioned as extensions of human abilities. The airplanes enlarged our physical reach, the Internet expanded our access to information, and computers increased our ability to compute. These tools were clearly under human control, operating within the boundaries we set.(在过去的创新中，技术作为人类能力的延伸而发挥作用。飞机扩大了我们的身体活动范围，互联网扩大了我们获取信息的途径，计算机提高了我们的计算能力。这些工具显然是在人类的控制之下，在我们设定的范围内运行)”可知，第三段是通过举例子来展开的，列举了飞机、互联网和计算机等例子来说明技术在过去是如何作为人类能力的延伸而发挥作用的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“AI’s capacity to potentially outdo our intellectual talents puts humanity in a weak position, one where we must confront our own limitations.(人工智能有可能超越我们的智力才能，这使人类处于弱势地位，我们必须正视自己的局限性)”可推知，作者对人工智能的崛起持担忧的态度。故选A。 第三节(共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Creating an association (社团) at senior high school can be a rewarding experience. ____16____.

You asked me how to balance study and exercise in my daily life, I’d like to share with you some of my views. As a senior high student, I’ve discovered that maintaining an exercise routine significantly enhances my academic performance. Personally, I allocate 20 minutes each morning for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), which dramatically boosts my concentration during morning classes. Besides, I’ve adopted a strategy of using sports as a reward system; completing two hours of study earns me one hour of badminton practice. This approach not only maintains my fitness but also creates positive reinforcement for studying. Ultimately, as the ancient Greek proverb wisely states, “A sound mind in a sound body” — this timeless wisdom remains profoundly relevant in our modern academic environment.
