The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness. And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. I hope you did not read this article too fast. 1. Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1? A. To show the efficiency of reading fast. B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading. C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize. D. To stress the importance of reading classics. 2. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading? A. Fast reading ensures reading quality. B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality. D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content. 3. What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve? A. Deep engagement. B. Quick comprehension. C. Excellent memory. D. Wild imagination. 4. What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4? A. Take breaks to refresh their mind. B. Read mindfully without interruptions. C. Devote time to reflecting after reading. D. Digest information while reading. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要讲述了阅读速度问题，并建议我们要在阅读后思考。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. (然而，快速阅读带来的问题可以用机智的导演伍迪·艾伦的话来概括:“这是我阅读《战争与和平》的方式。这是关于俄罗斯的。”对于一本1200页的书来说，这是一个非凡的总结。)”可知，快速阅读产生的问题，可以引用诙谐的导演伍迪·艾伦的话来概括，对于一本1200页的书来说，这是一个了不起的总结。可推断引用伍迪艾伦的话是为了说明快速阅读的问题。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow?”(慢节奏能保证阅读的质量吗?你可以做一个很短的练习--你读过什么书，比如两年前?它们是关于什么的?你能从它们每一本上回忆起五个想法吗?在大多数情况下，答案是“不能”。那么，我们读得快或慢有什么区别呢?)”可知，慢速阅读不能保证阅读质量。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. (阅读的速度与意识的速度精确匹配。我读书是为了意识到。我意识到要理解。我理解了才能利用。当我无法理解文字背后的意思时，我不得不放慢脚步，一遍又一遍地回到同一个句子。) ”，可知，“正念阅读”的第一个原则是深入参与。故选A。 【4题详解】 推断判断题。根据第四段的“If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. (如果我们读了60分钟，然后合上书，马上去做别的事情，我们就错过了一个关键因素——在我们还记得的时候思考内容，就像精神消化一样。不习惯这一点的人可以尝试至少59/1，而不是60/0:1分钟思考和吸收。最好是五分钟，或者更好，十分钟，或者为什么不30/30分钟？通过这种思维练习，我们不仅能记住读过的书中的观点，还能从书的内容中获得更大的好处。)”可推断，作者建议读者阅读后思考。故选C。 B Research indicates that Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese exercise that combines slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may provide long-term relief from Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t, the researchers say. Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease characterized by slowness of movement, tremors (颤抖), and stiff and inflexible muscles. It is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world, with the number of those affected projected to reach nearly 5 million by 2030 in China alone. In the UK 2 people are diagnosed with the disease every hour. So far, there has been no cure for Parkinson’s. Previously published research suggests that Tai Chi eases Parkinson’s symptoms in the short term, but whether this improvement can be maintained over the long term isn’t known. The new study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms, movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved. However, this is an observational study, which can’t establish cause and effect. And the researchers acknowledge that the number of study participants was relatively small. Prof Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study” but said there were limitations in its design, and more trials were needed. Prof K Ray Chaudhuri, professor of movement disorders and neurology at King’s College London, said, “It is too early to claim any neuroprotection based on this study, although the positive effects on aspects of motor and non-motor functions are impressive.” 5. What do we know about Parkinson’s? A. It’s severe but curable now. B. It may lead to a low-quality life. C. It’s more common in China than in the UK. D. It’s the fastest-growing disease in the world. 6. What is the new study different from the previous one? A. It covers more aspects of the disease. B. It collects data from more study participants. C. It focuses on the long-term effect of Tai Chi on Parkinson’s. D. It first proves the positive effect Tai Chi has on Parkinson’s. 7. What can be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6? A. The results of the study are not clear. B. The researchers are unaware of the problems of the study. C. The methods that the researchers use in the study are inappropriate. D. The study gives hope to Parkinson’s patients though with its limitations. 8. What is Prof K Ray Chaudhuri’s attitude towards the conclusion of the new study? A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. 【答案】5. B 6. C 7. D 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个新的研究发现，规律性的练太极拳可以抑制帕金森病的进展。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第二段中“Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease characterized by slowness of movement, tremors (颤抖), and stiff and inflexible muscles. (帕金森氏症是一种进行性脑部疾病，其特征是运动缓慢、震颤、肌肉僵硬和不灵活。)”可知，患有帕金森病，会影响生活质量。故B项正确。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Previously published research suggests that Tai Chi eases Parkinson’s symptoms in the short term, but whether this improvement can be maintained over the long term isn’t known. (先前发表的研究表明，太极拳在短期内缓解了帕金森病的症状，但这种改善能否长期保持尚不清楚。)”可知，之前的研究表明太极可以在短期内缓解帕金森的症状、从第四段中“The new study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years (上海交通大学医学院的这项新研究对数百名帕金森患者的健康状况进行了长达五年的监测。)”可知，新的研究对数百名帕金森患者的健康状况进行了长达五年的监测，所以新研究关注的是太极拳对帕金森氏症的长期影响。故C项正确。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms, movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved. (研究人员发现，在症状、运动和平衡的测量中，太极拳组的疾病进展得更慢。与另一组相比，这一组摔倒、背痛和头晕的情况也更少，记忆力和注意力问题也更少。同时，睡眠和生活质量不断提高。)”可知，帕金森患者练太极后在摔倒、身体疼痛、头晕、记忆力、注意力、 睡眠、 生活质量等方面都有一定改善，说明练太极给帕金森患者带来了希望、第六段“However, this is an observational study, which can’t establish cause and effect. And the researchers acknowledge that the number of study participants was relatively small.(然而，这是一项观察性研究，不能确定因果关系。研究人员承认，参与研究的人数相对较少。)”说明这项研究还是有一定局限性。 故D项正确。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Prof K Ray Chaudhuri, professor of movement disorders and neurology at King’s College London, said, “It is too early to claim any neuroprotection based on this study, although the positive effects on aspects of motor and non-motor functions are impressive.” (伦敦国王学院运动障碍和神经学教授K Ray Chaudhuri教授说：“尽管在运动和非运动功能方面的积极影响令人印象深刻，但基于这项研究声称任何神经保护还为时过早。”)”可知，该教授既说到了它的优势及意义，又提到了它的局限性，秉持着客观的态度。故D项正确。 C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally the researchers tested the Al on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the Al would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”, The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 9. What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams. C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 10. How did the Al system learn about human brain activity? A. By recording brain scans from participants. B. By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts C. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 11. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Unclear. B. Striking. C. Factual. D. Unusual. 12. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A. To help understand our dreams. B. To improve text-to-image models. C. To create more accurate brain scans. D. To learn how animals view the world. 【答案】9. D 10. C 11. A 12. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI如何通过脑部扫描图像重现人类想法及其潜在应用。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. (据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“稳定扩散”的人工智能系统，根据人们的大脑扫描重新创建图像。)”可知，Stable Diffusion是根据人的脑电波扫描来重新创建图像的系统。由此可推知，它可以从人们的思维中产生图片。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data - when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. (然后，人工智能通过分析fMRI数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时，更多的血液会流向它。)”可知，AI系统通过分析fMRI数据中血液流动的变化来学习大脑活动。故选C。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. (然后，它会启用之前的“文本转图像”模型，并通过输入关键词“飞机”来使图像变得更清晰。根据研究人员的说法，最终的图像是“有说服力的“，准确率约为80%。)”可知，AI可以启用之前的“文本转图像”模型，并通过输入关键词“飞机”来使图像变得更清晰，所以说明AI一开始会使用大脑扫描数据来创建一架非常模糊的飞机的图像。划线单词意为“模糊的，不清楚的”。故选A。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. (美国普林斯顿大学的Ariel Goldstein告诉《科学》杂志，这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“解码大脑”的新方法。未来，科学家们希望这项技术能够用于记录想象中的。)”可知，科学家希望这一技术能够用于记录想象中的思想和梦境，或理解动物对现实的感知方式。由此可推知，其潜在用途是学习动物如何看待世界。故选D。 第二节（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一些可以帮助你学习如何道歉的技巧。 【13题详解】 上文“Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior. It may feel awkward and may not be polished at first.(学习如何道歉与学习任何新行为类似。一开始可能会感觉别扭，可能没有被打磨好。)”指出学习道歉一开始可能会让你感到别扭，下文“There are several tips that will help you as you learn how to apologize.(当您学习如何道歉时，有一些技巧可以帮助您。)”指出有些技巧可以帮助您学习道歉，这说明通过学习就能学会如何道歉，C项“但通过练习，每个人都可以学会这样做。”符合，承上启下，故选C。 【14题详解】 上文“First of all, wait until the right time and you are in the right place. Although public apology is often appropriate, discretion (谨慎) should be used.(首先，等到合适的时间和地点。尽管公开道歉通常是合适的，但仍应谨慎行事。)”指出公开道歉需要谨慎行事，要等到合适的时间和地点，空处承接上文，E项“大多数道歉可以而且应该在私人场合进行。”符合，具体介绍了在什么地点适合公开道歉，故选E。 【15题详解】 上文“Acknowledge the fact that injury has occurred and then take responsibility for what happened. Be sincere in expressing your regret and demonstrate your willingness to take ownership of the situation. (承认已经发生伤害的事实，然后对所发生的事情承担责任。真诚地表达你的遗憾，并表明你愿意对事情负责。)”可知，道歉时要承认已经发生伤害的事实，并承担自己的责任，这说明不要为自己找借口，要主动承担责任，修复问题，F项“换句话说，避免找借口并主动修复损坏。”符合，故选F。 【16题详解】 上文“Even if you follow these steps, be prepared for rejection. Sometimes, the person apologizing has an expectation that the apology will lead to immediate forgiveness and acceptance.(即使您遵循这些步骤，也要做好被拒绝的准备。有时，道歉的人期望道歉会立即得到原谅和接受。)”可知，要做好被拒绝的准备，道歉的人期望会立即得到原谅且被接受，但是原谅和接受是需要时间的，A项“原谅和接受可能需要时间。”符合，承接上文，故选A。 【17题详解】 此处是本段中心句，下文“Knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut is a virtue. Keeping quiet may be very difficult, as post-apology listening is not easy. We may hear unpleasant observations from another about our own shortcomings. We may hear the expression of anger. One of the ways we let others know we are truly responsible and accountable for our mistakes is by listening to the other party pour out the feelings associated with our actions.(知道什么时候闭嘴是一种美德。保持安静可能非常困难，因为道歉后倾听并不容易。我们可能会听到别人对我们自己的缺点提出不愉快的评论。我们可能会听到愤怒的表情。我们让别人知道我们真正对自己的错误负有责任和负责的方法之一是倾听对方倾诉与我们的行为相关的感受。)”可知，本段主要介绍道歉时要倾听别人，D项“倾听对我们道歉的回应很重要。”符合，故选D。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分37.5分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Several months ago, a tornado fiercely hit our city without any signs before.

The company has done it with less-advanced chips than ____35____ available in the U.S.. Colleagues say Liang isn’t one for the trappings of wealth or fame, but he did once say he wanted the respect of the U.S.-led technology world. It is safe to say he has it now. Born in 1985, Liang grew up in Zhanjiang, one of the port cities on the southern Chinese coast that ____36____ (trade) with the world for centuries. He was a straight-A student in school and began studying calculus on his own in junior high school before going on to Zhejiang University. As a student, Liang started writing AI algorithms to pick stocks. In 2013, a few years after graduation, he started Jacobi, an investment company named ____37____ German mathematician Carl Jacobi. In 2015, he founded High-Flyer with two college friends. To make his code open-source was one of the biggest decisions ____38____ Liang had ever made, meaning anyone can access it. He said he wanted DeepSeek to break the control of big tech companies. “For technologists, having others follow your work ____39____ (give) a great sense of accomplishment,” he said in an interview last year. “Open source is more of a culture rather than a ____40____ (commerce) behavior, and contributing to it earns us respect.” Colleagues said Liang fit the typical profile of a Chinese engineer.

Others compare him to Jim Simons”可知此处指Sam Altman和Jim Simons这两位创新者，所以用名词innovator (创新者)，为可数名词，此处用复数形式。故填innovators。 【34题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：由梁文锋领导的中国DeepSeek公司的人工智能模型让世界大吃一惊，在性能和受欢迎程度上都进入了全球前10名。句子的谓语是“have taken”，“race”和其逻辑主语“AI models”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语。故填racing。 【35题详解】 考查代词。句意：该公司使用的芯片不如美国现有的芯片先进。空处指代前面提到的“chips”，指代前文提到的复数名词应用代词those，故填those。 【36题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：梁文锋出生于1985年，在湛江长大，湛江是中国南部沿海的一个港口城市，几个世纪以来一直与世界进行贸易。trade是定语从句谓语动词，根据“for centuries”可知，这里表示从过去一直持续到现在的动作，应用现在完成时，且“one of the port cities”是先行词，从句主语that指代先行词，所以助动词用have，故填have traded。 【37题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：2013年，毕业几年后，他创办了以德国数学家卡尔·雅可比（Carl Jacobi）命名的投资公司Jacobi。“be named after”是固定短语，意为“以……命名”，故填after。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：让他的代码开源是梁文锋做过的最大的决定之一，这意味着任何人都可以访问它。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“decisions”，先行词被最高级修饰，先行词指物，关系词替代先行词在从句中作宾语，关系代词只能用“that”。故填that。 【39题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：“对技术人员来说，让别人跟随你的工作给人一种巨大的成就感，”他在去年的一次采访中说。 设空处为谓语，描述一般事实，用一般现在时，“having others follow your work”是动名词短语作主语，动名词作主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填gives。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：开源更像是一种文化，而不是一种商业行为，为它做贡献会让我们赢得尊重。修饰名词“behavior”要用形容词作定语，“commerce”的形容词形式是“commercial”，表示“商业的”。故填commercial。 【41题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：使用DeepSeek模型的人数突然增加，这让梁文锋和公司措手不及，自周日以来，DeepSeek的服务多次崩溃。设空处连接表语从句，在从句中作主语，意为“……的事情”，用连接代词what。故填what。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。修饰动词“crashed”要用副词作状语，“repeat”的副词形式是“repeatedly”，表示“反复地，屡次地”。故填repeatedly。 第三节（共15小题；每小题0.5分，满分7.5分） 根据首字母或中文提示写出单词，并注意所填单词的适当形式。 43.

When o________ according to the instructions, the robot can behave like a human being with average IQ. (根据首字母单词拼写) 【答案】operated##perated 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意：当按照指令操作时，机器人可以表现得像一个平均智商的人。此处是when引导时间状语从句省略句，从句主语the robot和从句谓语动词operate (操作)是被动关系，谓语动词operate用be done形式，状语从句中，当从句主语和主句主语一致且从句谓语中包含be动词，可省略从句主语和be动词，用过去分词operated。故填operated。 46.

Go see what he is up to,” she replied. Nita approached her father, who was tending to a small fire in the yard. As she drew closer, she noticed a bunch of plastic bags burning. Confusion mixed with worry filled her young mind. She couldn’t help but question her father’s action. “Why are you burning those plastic bags, Dad?” she asked, her voice full of concern. “These bags would last an incredibly long time if we buried them. Plastic doesn’t break down in the earth. Burning is the only way to remove them, Nita,” he replied. Nita’s forehead wrinkled. She felt a wave of sadness for the earth and couldn’t help but voice her discontent. “But burning isn’t good for the earth either, Dad. And the smoke ... it smells terrible,” she complained softly. Her father let out a heavy sigh, understanding her concern. He knelt down to her level and spoke with a touch of regret in his voice, “I know, Nita, but I haven’t found another way to keep these bags from polluting the earth.” That afternoon, as Nita’s mother returned from the market with more plastic bags, Nita felt a growing sense of unease. The cycle of using and burning plastic bags seemed endless, and she longed for a solution. Later that day, Nita found herself watching her father work on cutting shirts for his clothing business. Her mind wandered, thinking about the problem at hand. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. “Maybe I can create something useful with the leftover fabric scraps (碎布)!” she thought excitedly. Determined to make a difference, Nita borrowed her father’s scissors, thread (线), and a needle. Her father, concerned for her safety, tried to stop her. However, her determination shone through, and he soon found himself assisting her in making a beautiful bag. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Days later, Nita accompanied her mother to the market with the newly-made cloth bag. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Word of Nita’s bags spread rapidly throughout the village. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A possible version: Days later, Nita accompanied her mother to the market with the newly-made cloth bag. As the seller began to reach for a plastic bag, Nita’s voice rang out, commanding attention. “Hold on!” she exclaimed, her eyes shining with enthusiasm. “We don’t need a plastic bag. We have our own cloth bag to carry our groceries.” The seller paused, a curious look on his face, before breaking into a smile. “What a brilliant idea! Bags like this could truly change the world,” he remarked. Nita’s mother beamed with pride. Not only did she love her new cloth bag, but she also valued the fact that their family was contributing to a cleaner environment. Word of Nita’s bags spread rapidly throughout the village. People marveled at the beauty and practicality of her creations, and soon, requests for these unique bags poured in. Nita’s father devoted himself to making bags for everyone who sought them. With the introduction of Nita’s bags, the village underwent a transformation. The air became free from the choking smoke, and the streets were no longer littered with trash. Nita, with a twinkle in her eyes, knew that even a small act of creativity and determination could make a significant impact on the world around her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Nita的父亲在燃烧塑料，认为燃烧是去除塑料的唯一办法。Nita表示燃烧也不好，而且烟很难闻，Nita意识到塑料袋对环境的危害后，打算用父亲剩下的布料碎片创造一些有用的东西。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，妮塔带着新做的布袋陪着妈妈去了市场。”可知，第一段可描写Nita去买东西时向卖家表示自己不需要塑料袋，要使用布袋，卖家很高兴，Nita的母亲感觉骄傲。 ②由第二段首句内容“Nita的袋子的消息迅速传遍了整个村庄。”可知，第二段可描写村庄中的人们也开始使用布袋，环境发生改变，以及Nita的感悟。 2.续写线索： 买东西时使用布袋——卖家高兴——Nita的母亲骄傲——村庄的人开始使用布袋——环境发生改变——Nita的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①改变：change/ alter ②致力于：devote oneself to/ commit oneself to ③ 知道：know/ be aware 情绪类 ① 骄傲地：with pride/ proudly ② 决心：determination/ resolution 【点睛】【高分句型1】Not only did she love her new cloth bag, but she also valued the fact that their family was contributing to a cleaner environment.(运用了not only置于句首的部分倒装结构和that引导的同位语从句) 【高分句型2】Nita’s father devoted himself to making bags for everyone who sought them.(运用了who引导的限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度第二学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟；总分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考试号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题，每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例题：How much is the shirt?

The problem generated by speed reading, though, can be summarized with the following quote from the witty (诙谐的) director Woody Allen: “This is how I read War and Peace. It was about Russia.” A remarkable summary for a 1200-page book. I prefer discussing the “way of reading” and not only the speed. Does a slow pace guarantee quality of reading? You can do a very short exercise—which books have you read, let’s say, two years ago? What were they about? Can you recall five ideas from each of them? In most cases, the answer is “No”. So, what difference does it make if we read fast or slow? In today’s busy times, I suggest “Mindful Reading”, which includes two simple principles. The first is, of course, being mindful. The speed of reading is precisely matched to the speed of awareness. I read to realise. I realise to comprehend. I comprehend to make use of. It obliges (迫使) me to slow down when I don’t grasp the idea behind the words and to go back over and over to one and the same sentence. And thus, poetry requires a slow pace, time for an internal “echo” of rhyme in the soul for appreciating the beauty of the words while the novel allows for a higher speed in order for us to enjoy the plot. But all types of speed have one thing in common: mindfulness. And the other principle: Post Lectio—Ratiocination. If we read for 60 minutes, and after closing the book, immediately go and do something else, we are missing a key element—thinking over the content while we still remember it, something like a mental digestion. Whoever is not used to this can try at least59/1 compared to 60/0: one minute to think and assimilate. Better, try five, or even better, ten minutes, or why not 30/30 minutes? With this mental exercise, we will not only remember ideas from books read, but we will gain a much bigger benefit from their content. I hope you did not read this article too fast. 1. Why is Woody Allen quoted in paragraph 1? A. To show the efficiency of reading fast. B. To illustrate the problem of speed reading. C. To prove the director’s ability to summarize. D. To stress the importance of reading classics. 2. What may the writer agree with about the speed of reading? A. Fast reading ensures reading quality. B. Fast reading is superior to slow reading. C. Slow reading is no guarantee of reading quality. D. Slow reading prevents us remembering the content. 3. What does the first principle of “Mindful Reading” involve? A. Deep engagement. B. Quick comprehension. C. Excellent memory. D. Wild imagination. 4. What does the author suggest readers do according to paragraph 4? A. Take breaks to refresh their mind. B. Read mindfully without interruptions. C. Devote time to reflecting after reading. D. Digest information while reading. B Research indicates that Tai Chi, a traditional Chinese exercise that combines slow, gentle movements with deep breathing and relaxation, may provide long-term relief from Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Those who practised the martial art twice a week had fewer complications (并发症) and better quality of life than those who didn’t, the researchers say. Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disease characterized by slowness of movement, tremors (颤抖), and stiff and inflexible muscles. It is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world, with the number of those affected projected to reach nearly 5 million by 2030 in China alone. In the UK 2 people are diagnosed with the disease every hour. So far, there has been no cure for Parkinson’s. Previously published research suggests that Tai Chi eases Parkinson’s symptoms in the short term, but whether this improvement can be maintained over the long term isn’t known. The new study, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, monitored the health of hundreds of Parkinson’s patients for up to five years. One group of 147 people practised regular Tai Chi while another group of 187 did not. The researchers found that the disease progressed more slowly in the Tai Chi group on measurements of symptoms, movement and balance. This group also saw fewer falls, less back pain and dizziness, with memory and concentration problems also lower than in the other group. At the same time, sleep and quality of life continuously improved. However, this is an observational study, which can’t establish cause and effect. And the researchers acknowledge that the number of study participants was relatively small. Prof Alastair Noyce, professor in neurology at Queen Mary University of London, called it “an important study” but said there were limitations in its design, and more trials were needed. Prof K Ray Chaudhuri, professor of movement disorders and neurology at King’s College London, said, “It is too early to claim any neuroprotection based on this study, although the positive effects on aspects of motor and non-motor functions are impressive.” 5. What do we know about Parkinson’s? A. It’s severe but curable now. B. It may lead to a low-quality life. C It’s more common in China than in the UK. D. It’s the fastest-growing disease in the world. 6. What is the new study different from the previous one? A. It covers more aspects of the disease. B. It collects data from more study participants. C. It focuses on the long-term effect of Tai Chi on Parkinson’s. D It first proves the positive effect Tai Chi has on Parkinson’s. 7. What can be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6? A. The results of the study are not clear. B. The researchers are unaware of the problems of the study. C. The methods that the researchers use in the study are inappropriate. D. The study gives hope to Parkinson’s patients though with its limitations. 8. What is Prof K Ray Chaudhuri’s attitude towards the conclusion of the new study? A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Objective. C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AIsystem called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data — when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the Al on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the Al would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and make the image clearer by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”, The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 9. What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams. C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 10. How did the Al system learn about human brain activity? A. By recording brain scans from participants. B. By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts C. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 11. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Unclear. B. Striking. C. Factual. D. Unusual. 12. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A. To help understand our dreams. B. To improve text-to-image models. C. To create more accurate brain scans. D. To learn how animals view the world. 第二节（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning how to apologize is similar to learning any new behavior.

Go see what he is up to,” she replied. Nita approached her father, who was tending to a small fire in the yard. As she drew closer, she noticed a bunch of plastic bags burning. Confusion mixed with worry filled her young mind. She couldn’t help but question her father’s action. “Why are you burning those plastic bags, Dad?” she asked, her voice full of concern. “These bags would last an incredibly long time if we buried them. Plastic doesn’t break down in the earth. Burning is the only way to remove them, Nita,” he replied. Nita’s forehead wrinkled. She felt a wave of sadness for the earth and couldn’t help but voice her discontent. “But burning isn’t good for the earth either, Dad. And the smoke ... it smells terrible,” she complained softly. Her father let out a heavy sigh, understanding her concern. He knelt down to her level and spoke with a touch of regret in his voice, “I know, Nita, but I haven’t found another way to keep these bags from polluting the earth.” That afternoon, as Nita’s mother returned from the market with more plastic bags, Nita felt a growing sense of unease. The cycle of using and burning plastic bags seemed endless, and she longed for a solution. Later that day, Nita found herself watching her father work on cutting shirts for his clothing business. Her mind wandered, thinking about the problem at hand. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. “Maybe I can create something useful with the leftover fabric scraps (碎布)!” she thought excitedly. Determined to make a difference, Nita borrowed her father’s scissors, thread (线), and a needle. Her father, concerned for her safety, tried to stop her. However, her determination shone through, and he soon found himself assisting her in making a beautiful bag. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Days later, Nita accompanied her mother to the market with the newly-made cloth bag. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Word of Nita’s bags spread rapidly throughout the village. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
