But then Dad 3 out of the house. “Don’t shout!” he said, waving an angry finger, “you missed a spot.” I sighed and went back to work. Atter a while, I looked back at Dad. He still wore that mad look on his face, his eyes searching the garden as if he could find every tiny imperfection. “Okay,” he said, 4 , “I guess you’ re done.” As Dad walked back to the house, I wondered if he liked me. Two weeks later, on the morning of another weed picking weekend, I woke up feverish. “Let’s go,” Dad said, 5 me from the bed. “You need to see a doctor.” “Please, no,” I said in a 6 voice, “I’d rather pull weeds.” He took me anyway, and the doctor said I had pneumonia (肺炎). That night a (n) 7 woke me from my sleep. I saw my dad who came up to me and put his hand against my 8 . Then, I saw him 9 something on my table. When he left, I found a necklace with a charm shaped like a small dog, just like my favorite pet. I held it to my heart and cried.

But what if you’re ready to look deeper into the night sky using a telescope? Nobody wants to make a big investment, and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is a solution to that. Celestar is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSmart Explorer app and dock have been designed to run on its telescopes. The free StarSmart Explorer app uses information based on precise location and time to tell you which stars and planets can be seen in the night sky.How it works Connect the phone with the telescope and select your intended celestial target. The phone will be held over an integrated mirror, so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSmart Explorer processes the information and your telescope will adjust accordingly, placing the target in the middle. As well as locating your desired target, StarSmart Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe. The app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view.Why it’s special Most astronomy apps use a smartphone’s compass to estimate its position. The pointing accuracy of a smartphone has margin for error. Precision matters when it comes to stargazing. StarSmart Explorer is the only astronomy app to use modern plate solving technology to find its target, and it claims a typical pointing accuracy of 0.25°. The app takes a picture of the night sky and matches the star pattern within the image to its internal database. It’s similar, in essence, to facial recognition. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSmart Explorer app is free and works well with StarSmart Explorer telescopes, starting from £299.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestar’s StarSmart Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more at www.celestar.com/starsmart. 21．StarSmart Explorer can help ________. A．decide observation duration B．locate stars precisely C．record information on stars D．find unknown planets 22．StarSmart Explorer is unique because________ A．it matches different types of telescopes B．it uses a smartphone’s built-in compass C．it is powered by advanced technology D．it is equipped with the latest database 23．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a set of equipment. B．To promote a stargazing product. C．To recommend a science project. D．To present an astronomical discovery. 【答案】21．B 22．C 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Celestar的StarSmart Explorer应用程序及其功能。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The free StarSmart Explorer app uses information based on precise location and time to tell you which stars and planets can be seen in the night sky.(免费的StarSmart Explorer应用程序使用基于精确位置和时间的信息来告诉你哪些恒星和行星可以在夜空中看到)”以及第六段中“StarSmart Explorer is the only astronomy app to use modern plate solving technology to find its target, and it claims a typical pointing accuracy of 0.25°.(StarSmart Explorer是唯一一款使用现代板解技术来寻找目标的天文应用程序，它声称典型的指向精度为0.25°)”可知，StarSmart Explorer可以帮助精确地定位恒星。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据Why it’s special标题下第二段“StarSmart Explorer is the only astronomy app to use modern plate solving technology to find its target(StarSmart Explorer 是唯一一款使用现代星图识别技术来找到目标的天文应用程序)”以及第三段“Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSmart Explorer app is free and works well with StarSmart Explorer telescopes(星图识别通常需要专业技术，如灵敏的成像相机、镜头和天文软件，所有这些都成本高昂。而 StarSmart Explorer 应用程序是免费的，并且与 StarSmart Explorer 望远镜配合得很好)” 可知，StarSmart Explorer的独特之处在于它使用了先进的技术。故选C。 23．推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestar’s StarSmart Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more at www.celestar.com/starsmart.(如果你准备更深入地探索天文学，Celestar 的 StarSmart Explorer 技术将是一个很好的伙伴。你可以在www.celestar.com/starsmart上了解更多信息)”结合文章主要介绍了Celestar的StarSmart Explorer天文观测应用的特点和优势，可推知，这篇文章的目的是推广一款观星产品。故选B。 B In 2010, four friends, carrying 32 kg worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼). But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer? Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best. If you put me in the Red Sea in 20 m of warm water — I don’t take better images than others.” In an extreme situation on the other hand — one in which he feels he shouldn’t be allowed, that his time is limited, there is an urgency — a switch clicks. Thanks to Ballesta’s work, we now know the coelacanth is among the longest-living fish species, with a life of around 100 years, and has one of the slowest life histories of all ocean fish. Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors, and it is only by observing these creatures in their own habitat that we can really begin to understand them. The coelacanth exploration was a springboard for Ballesta’s exploration career. In2019, Ballesta pioneered a new diving technique, which would allow commercial divers to sink to great depths. He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean. Ballesta is both an artist and a scientist. His work acts as a window into the unknown — one that we can all look through. 24．What was Laurent Ballesta’s significant achievement in 2010? A．Exploring beneath the Sodwana Bay. B．Taking photos of a living coelacanth. C．Finding the secret of dinosaur extinction. D．Diving with the heaviest camera equipment. 25．What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best? A．Fierce competitions. B．New diving technique. C．Sea animal knowledge. D．Challenging situations. 26．We learn that long-lived fish species ___________. A．live a life of over 100 years B．have the slowest life histories C．are sensitive to human activities D．are easy to adapt to new ecosystems 27．What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta? A．Careful and passionate. B．Brave and creative. C．Modest and hardworking. D．Tough and competitive. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．C 27．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了海洋摄影师Laurent Ballesta在2010年拍摄到了被认为已经灭绝的腔棘鱼的活体照片，这一成就开启了他的探索生涯。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth.(就在那时，摄影师Laurent Ballesta直视着一种曾被认为与恐龙一起灭绝的生物的眼睛——这使他成为第一个拍摄到活体腔棘鱼照片的潜水员。)”可知，Laurent Ballesta在2010年的重大成就是拍摄到活着的腔棘鱼的照片。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best.(我需要感觉到自己处于不舒服的环境中，才能全力以赴。)”可知，让Laurent Ballesta全力以赴的是具有挑战性的环境。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段“Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors.(长寿物种对自然和人类压力因素特别敏感。)”可知，长寿鱼类对人类活动很敏感。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best.(我需要感觉到自己处于不舒服的环境中，才能全力以赴。)”和第四段“He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean.(他使用电子管理的循环呼吸器进行自主深海探索——这使他成为第一个在深海进行所谓‘无束缚太空漫步’的人。)”此可知，Laurent Ballesta是一个勇敢且有创造力的人。故选B。 C When people view photographs of frightening spiders, scientists usually observe increased electrical activity deep in their brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). The obvious conclusion is that the PAG controls fight-or-flight responses in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated circuits for fighting and flighting? Is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural circuitry (神经回路)? This idea of fight-or-flight circuits originates from the “triune brain” model dividing brains into the so-called lizard brain, including the PAG, for survival functions, the “limbic system” for emotions, and the “neocortex” for higher-order reasoning. If you know anything about evolution, you might know that something is spurious. The only animal on this planet with a lizard brain is a lizard. Also, there’s no unified limbic “system” or the “neocortex” for emotions or rationality (理性) respectively. So where does this leave the fight-or-flight story? Recently, changes in PAG activity have been observed in nonthreatening tasks, such as reading a fascinating article about the brain. The PAG has also been proved to regulate bodily systems continuously. Incidentally, this explains why antianxiety medications manage anxiety disorders without healing them. They target brain circuits that aren’t dedicated to anxiety or fight-or-flight but that simply regulate the body. Researches on the brain’s powers also cast new light on our understandings. In daily life, individuals might feel like they perceive and react to various stimuli as either threatening or safe. Actually, the brain, using past experiences, skillfully predicts and formulates action plans in anticipation of events before stimuli occur. The brain’s preparatory mechanism, metabolically (新陈代谢地) expensive, involves complicated neuronal activities for sustaining multiple predictions and corresponding action plans over extended periods. But the experiences in fight-or-flight responses crafted by your brain don’t reveal how it works. Moreover, your brain, which does much more than avoid threats, handles a complex social world full of uncertainty. That’s a recipe for stress. And what is stress? It reflects energy preparation for anticipated challenges. Your brain often makes sense of metabolic cost of uncertainty, if it drags on for long enough, as anxiety, but that’s not a must. People seek uncertainty out — and its positive cousin, novelty — when they try new foods or learn new skills. Uncertainty is common, but these days, with social media and round-the-clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards us and leaves us anxious and exhausted. But these feelings don’t emerge from fight-or-flight circuits. They may just mean, in an ever changing and only partly predictable world, that you’re doing something hard. 28．The author asks the questions in Paragraph 1 to ________. A．evaluate a statement B．justify an assumption C．challenge an argument D．introduce a new concept 29．Which does the underlined word “spurious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Rare. B．Wrong. C．Limited. D．Unexpected. 30．What can we infer from this passage? A．Hunting for novelty reduces stress and anxiety. B．Medicine targeting PAG cures anxiety disorders. C．Uncertainty is a product of modern media and news cycles. D．The “Fight or Flight” idea overlooks the brain’s predictive power. 【答案】28．C 29．B 30．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对“战斗或逃跑”这一大脑反应模式的质疑与新的理解。 28．推理判断题。根据第一段“The obvious conclusion is that the PAG controls fight-or-flight responses in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated circuits for fighting and flighting? Is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural circuitry (神经回路)?(显而易见的结论是，中脑导水管周围灰质（PAG）在威胁情况下控制着战斗或逃跑反应。但是，如果大脑并没有专门用于战斗或逃跑的回路呢？威胁探测真的只是大脑自身神经回路的一种主要模式吗？)”可知，作者在第一段提出问题是为了挑战一个论点，即“战斗或逃跑”反应是否由大脑中的特定回路控制。故选C。 29．词句猜测题。根据第二段“The only animal on this planet with a lizard brain is a lizard. Also, there’s no unified limbic ‘system’ or the ‘neocortex’ for emotions or rationality (理性) respectively.(这个星球上唯一拥有“蜥蜴脑”的动物就是蜥蜴。此外，也不存在分别负责情感或理性的统一“边缘系统”或“新皮层”)”可知，地球上只有蜥蜴有蜥蜴脑，也没有分别用于情感或理性的统一的边缘 “系统” 或 “新皮质”。说明前面提到的 “三位一体脑” 模型是错误的，所以“spurious”意思是“错误的”。故选B。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“In daily life, individuals might feel like they perceive and react to various stimuli as either threatening or safe. Actually, the brain, using past experiences, skillfully predicts and formulates action plans in anticipation of events before stimuli occur.(在日常生活中，人们可能会觉得他们对各种刺激的认知和反应，要么是将其视为威胁，要么是视为安全。实际上，大脑会利用过往的经验，在刺激发生之前，巧妙地预测并制定行动计划，以应对即将发生的事件)”可知，“战斗或逃跑”这一观念忽视了大脑的预测能力。大脑利用过去的经验，在刺激发生之前就能熟练地预测并制定行动计划。故选D。 D The artificial intelligence (AI) sector has oscillated between enthusiasm and skepticism in recent years. Tech giants including Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft collectively poured nearly 200 billion into AI infrastructure in 2024 alone, surpassing the GDP of nations like Hungary or New Zealand. Nvidia, dominating the AI-chip market, witnessed its valuation skyrocket to 3.4 trillion as chip sales doubled — a growth rate three times faster than the semiconductor industry average. Meanwhile, server providers like Dell reported unprecedented demand, with AI server shipments jumping 78% year-on-year, signaling AI’s transformative potential across industries from drug discovery to autonomous driving. Yet beneath the surface, challenges loom. Training advanced AI models consumes staggering energy — equivalent to powering 15 million US households annually — raising concerns about long-term viability (可持续性). In regions like Ireland, data centers already consume 18% of national electricity, straining aging power grids. Server manufacturers and energy firms struggle to meet data-center demands, with delivery delays for AI-optimized servers extending to 48 weeks in 2024. Critics argue that current investments mirror past tech bubbles: the $200 billion AI infrastructure spending represents 65% of the 1999 dot-com bubble’s peak investment adjusted for inflation. Alan Smith, a tech analyst, defends the spending, “AI’s capacity to revolutionize healthcare—such as cutting cancer drug development time from 10 years to 18 months — justifies short-term costs.” However, opponents counter that profit-driven corporations prioritize market dominance over ethical considerations, citing Meta’s 2023 AI ethics board disbandment as evidence. Amid these mounting pressures, competition is going to further complicates the landscape of AI development. Upstart (新兴的) firms like UK-based Graphcore and China’s Cambricon challenge industry leaders by creating compact, energy-efficient AI tools. For instance, startups now offer specialized chips such as Graphcore’s IPU (Intelligence Processing Unit) at 40% lower costs than Nvidia’s products, democratizing access to AI technology. This fragmentation mirrors the 1980s PC market shakeup, where IBM’s dominance was eroded by agile competitors. Investors, initially infatuated with AI’s promise, grow wary of over-commitment. A recent McKinsey survey revealed 62% of shareholders believe AI firms must clarify their financial strategies within two years, a demand intensified by OpenAI’s $540 million quarterly losses despite ChatGPT’s success. In addition, the environmental effects make it increasingly urgent to tackle this challenge head-on. Data centers account for 3% of global electricity use — a figure matching aviation’s carbon footprint — projected to triple by 2030. The International Energy Agency warns that unregulated AI growth could increase global CO₂ emissions by 1.5% annually, undermining climate goals. While companies like Microsoft invest in renewable energy, constructing solar farms to power Arizona data centers, critics demand stricter regulations. The EU’s proposed Artificial Intelligence Act now includes provisions requiring energy transparency for AI systems. Dr. Emily Zhou, a sustainability researcher at Tsinghua University, warns, “Unless accompanied by robust regulatory measures, AI’s ecological environment risks offsetting its technological advancements, as exemplified by China’s carbon tax initiative targeting data centers — a policy framework to balance industrial progress with environmental management.” As the AI sector grapples with escalating energy consumption, ethical controversies, and speculative investment patterns, the AI industry stands at a crossroads. Its potential to reshape economies is undeniable — PwC estimates AI could contribute $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030—but unchecked growth risks ecological harm and market instability. The 2024 global AI Governance Summit highlighted the need for international standards, yet consensus remains elusive. But, the path forward requires both technological breakthroughs and a shift in priorities — making carbon-neutral data centers and transparent AI governance essential, not optional. 31．Regarding Alan Smith’s defence of AI spending, the author is ______. A．supportive B．doubtful C．critical D．unconcerned 32．What does the word “infatuated” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Shocked. B．Protected. C．Attracted. D．Challenged. 33．What can we learn from this passage? A．AI’s environmental costs may reduce its benefits without policy intervention. B．Renewable energy investments can resolve sustainability issues completely. C．Stricter regulations should prioritize ecological protection over market instability. D．Tech companies’ ethical considerations are sufficient to address energy demands. 34．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．AI Investment: Balancing Short-Term Costs and Long-Term Viability B．Data Centers’ Energy Use: The Hidden Crisis Behind AI Development C．When Innovation Breeds Chaos: Why AI Development Must Slow Down D．Artificial Intelligence: Navigating Transformation Amid Emerging Challenges 【答案】31．B 32．C 33．A 34．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能发展面临的挑战与前景。 31．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Alan Smith, a tech analyst, defends the spending, “AI’s capacity to revolutionize healthcare — such as cutting cancer drug development time from 10 years to 18 months — justifies short-term costs.” However, opponents counter that profit-driven corporations prioritize market dominance over ethical considerations, citing Meta’s 2023 AI ethics board disbandment as evidence.(科技分析师Alan Smith为这笔支出辩护说：“人工智能有能力革新医疗保健领域，比如将癌症药物的开发时间从10年缩短到18个月，这就证明了短期成本的合理性。”然而，反对者利润驱动的公司将市场主导地位置于道德考虑之上，并引用Meta 2023年人工智能道德委员会的解散作为证据)”可知，作者先引用了Alan Smith为AI支出辩护的观点，紧接着用“However”转折，引出反对者的观点。由此推知，作者对Alan Smith为AI支出辩护的态度是怀疑的。故选B。 32．词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线词后“grow wary of over-commitment(变得非常警惕过度承诺)”可知，说明投资者开始对AI的态度发生了变化，故划线处指投资者最初被AI的潜力所吸引，infatuated与A项Attracted“吸引”词义相近。故选C。 33．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The International Energy Agency warns that unregulated AI growth could increase global CO₂ emissions by 1.5% annually, undermining climate goals(国际能源机构警告说，不受监管的人工智能增长可能会使全球二氧化碳排放量每年增加1.5%，破坏气候目标)”及“Dr. Emily Zhou, a sustainability researcher at Tsinghua University, warns, “Unless accompanied by robust regulatory measures, AI’s ecological environment risks offsetting its technological advancements, as exemplified by China’s carbon tax initiative targeting data centers — a policy framework to balance industrial progress with environmental management.”(清华大学的可持续发展研究员周博士警告说，“除非伴随着强有力的监管措施，AI的生态环境风险会抵消其技术进步，正如中国针对数据中心的碳税举措所示——这是一个平衡工业进步与环境管理的政策框架”)”可推知，如果没有政策干预，人工智能的环境成本可能会降低其效益。故选A。 34．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了人工智能在发展过程中面临的挑战，如能源消耗、伦理争议、投机投资模式等，同时也提到了人工智能的潜力和前景。由此可知，D选项“人工智能：在新兴挑战中寻求转型”最能概括文章的主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 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。 Whether it’s the echo (回声) of beeping tills in a supermarket or the hissing of a coffee machine in your local café, the brain is constantly working to decode (解码) hundreds of noises each day. But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. 35 She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). 36 However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play. Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health. But some experts warn that by blocking everyday sounds, the brain may “forget” how to filter (过滤) noise. 37 Over-reliance on noise-canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments. 38 Audiologists are calling for more research into the impact of noise-canceling headphones on teen’s auditory processing. 39 Mobile apps with “word in noise” training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low-gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested. A．The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown. B．Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference. C．Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices. D．She would leave bars and restaurants early because of the stressful noise. E．They note that the high-level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens. F．One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on. G．Hearing a diversity of sounds helps the brain decide what is important to focus on. 【答案】35．C 36．A 37．E 38．F 39．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以Sophie患听觉处理障碍(APD)为例，介绍了APD，分析了可能的原因，如过度使用降噪耳机，并提及了相应的治疗方法。 35．上文“But for individuals like 25 year old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful.(但对于像25岁的索菲这样的人来说，这些背景噪音可能会带来压力)”指出Sophie会因背景噪音感到压力。C选项“Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices.(尽管听力正常，但她经常难以辨认声音)”进一步说明了Sophie在听觉方面的困扰，与上文提到的背景噪音带来压力相呼应，且与下文“She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough.(她说她搞不清声音从哪里来，也不能快速处理这些声音)”衔接紧密。故选C项。 36．下文“However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.(然而，她的听觉矫正专家认为，索菲每天佩戴长达五小时的降噪耳机过度使用可能起到了一定作用)”中“However”表示转折，说明前面对于Sophie患APD的原因是不确定的。A选项“The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown.(索菲被诊断出患有APD的原因尚不清楚)”符合上下文逻辑。故选A项。 37．下文“Over reliance on noise canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise.(在这个时期过度依赖降噪耳机可能会延迟处理语音和噪音的能力)”提到了“this period”，说明前面应该提到了一个特定的时期。E选项“They note that the high level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens.(他们指出，高级听力技能直到青少年晚期才会完全发展)”指出了高级听力技能发展的时期，与下文的“this period”相呼应。故选E项。 38．上文“Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments.(大奥蒙德街儿童医院发现，对在嘈杂环境中难以听清某些单词的儿童进行评估的需求有所增加)”说明儿童在嘈杂环境中听力有问题的情况增多。F选项“One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on.(一项调查显示，61%的18-24岁的人更喜欢看带字幕的电视)”进一步举例说明年轻人在听力方面可能存在的问题，与上文内容相关。故选F项。 39．下文“Mobile apps with ‘word in noise’ training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested.(带有‘噪音中的单词’训练练习的移动应用程序很受欢迎，可帮助患者从背景噪音中分辨出语音。此外，麦克风和低增益助听器可以在特定情况下提供帮助。还建议选择不完全堵住耳朵的耳机)”介绍了治疗APD的方法。B选项“Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference.(对APD的治疗可以产生显著的积极影响)”引出下文关于治疗方法的内容。故选B项。 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。 A Journey with a Painting Drone In the messy garage of their home, 16-year-old Emma stared at the pieces of her brother’s old broken drone (无人机). Her physics teacher had given the class a task — turning old technology into something “magical.” While most students built simple things like solar chargers, Emma dreamed of something bigger — a drone that could paint pictures while flying! She drew designs mixing science and art — brushes attached to propellers (螺旋桨) and colours guided by GPS. Her classmates laughed, calling it a “flying junk,” but Emma kept working. One rainy afternoon, she adjusted the drone’s settings to match music. Every beat released a paint drop. The first try was a mess — bright paints spread everywhere. But Emma noticed a pattern in the chaos. After five tries, the drone danced to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, creating a beautiful abstract painting. Her project won the school’s top prize and even inspired local artists to use her technology for large outdoor artworks. Emma’s success wasn’t just about imagination. It teaches us three essential keys to unlocking creativity. First, balance is crucial. Creativity grows not in daydreams alone, but when wild ideas meet real-world logic. Emma didn’t just imagine a painting drone; she grounded her vision in maths and physics, calculating how to keep brushes steady mid-flight. Second, bravery grows through small steps. Early on, Emma almost abandoned her idea, fearing others would laugh. But she fought doubt by practising creativity daily. Finally, fun fuels persistence. Emma’s first test spread paints everywhere, but instead of giving up, she found joy in the chaos. Her attempts reminded her that “impossible” ideas can awaken wonder. Creativity isn’t a rare gift for the chosen few; it’s a muscle that strengthens when we laugh at failures and celebrate small wins. Most importantly, Emma’s journey mirrors a universal truth: creativity, like a child learning to walk, demands patience. Every wobble (蹒跚) and every fall is a track of progress. When we cheer for effort rather than perfection — whether for a child’s first steps or our own messy drafts — we unlock the courage to keep moving forward. 40．What task did Emma’s physics teacher give to the class? 41．According to the author, what are the essential keys to unlocking creativity? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Emma, valuing the final result instead of small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. 43．How do you unlock your creativity? Please give one example. (In about 40 words) 【答案】40．Turning old technology into something “magical.” 41． Balance, bravery and fun. 42．Emma, valuing the final result instead of small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. Emma, valuing small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. 43．言之成理即可。I unlock my creativity by exploring different hobbies. Once I combined painting and music. While listening to a piece of jazz, I painted freely, which inspired new ideas. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了16岁女孩Emma将旧无人机改造成能绘画的无人机的过程，强调了通过平衡想象与现实、勇敢面对挑战和享受创造的乐趣来解锁创造力的重要性。 40．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Her physics teacher had given the class a task — turning old technology into something “magical.” (她的物理老师给全班同学布置了一个任务——把旧技术变成“神奇”的东西)”可知，Emma的物理老师布置的任务是将旧技术变成某种“神奇”的东西。故答案为Turning old technology into something “magical.” 41．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“It teaches us three essential keys to unlocking creativity. First, balance is crucial.(它教会了我们开启创造力的三个关键。首先，平衡至关重要)”、“Second, bravery grows through small steps.(其次，勇气通过小步骤逐渐增长)”和“Finally, fun fuels persistence.(最后，乐趣能激发毅力)”可知，作者认为开启创造力的关键有三个：平衡（Balance），勇敢（Bravery），以及乐趣（Fun）。故答案为Balance, bravery and fun. 42．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Creativity isn’t a rare gift for the chosen few; it’s a muscle that strengthens when we laugh at failures and celebrate small wins.(创造力并非是少数被选中的人所独有的罕见天赋；它就像是一块肌肉，当我们对失败付之一笑并为小小的成功而庆祝时，它就会变得更加强健)”以及第四段中“When we cheer for effort rather than perfection—whether for a child’s first steps or our own messy drafts — we unlock the courage to keep moving forward.(当我们为付出的努力而非完美喝彩时——无论是为孩子迈出的第一步，还是为我们自己那些杂乱无章的草稿——我们就激发了继续前行的勇气)”可知，艾玛从失败中学习并且庆祝小的成功，而不是看重最终结果，所以Emma, valuing the final result这部分错误。文中强调的是艾玛注重努力的过程、庆祝小的成功，而不是只看重最终结果。故答案为：Emma, valuing the final result instead of small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. Emma, valuing small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. 43．开放题目，答案不唯一，言之成理即可。我通过探索不同的爱好来释放我的创造力。有一次我将绘画和音乐结合起来。在听一段爵士乐的时候，我自由地绘画，这激发了新的想法。I unlock my creativity by exploring different hobbies. Once I combined painting and music. While listening to a piece of jazz, I painted freely, which inspired new ideas. 第二节 (20 分) 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的朋友Jim打算暑假到中国旅游，他对中国的科技发展很感兴趣，发来邮件请你推荐一座能深度体验中国最新科技发展的城市。请给他回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 推荐城市； 2. 推荐理由； 3. 表达祝愿。 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, I’m thrilled to hear you’re planning a trip to China this summer!

And it was Saturday! “I 1 pulling weeds!” I thought. Still, I made sure to pull every annoying weed. My dad could 2 a single weed a mile away. And if he spotted even one, I’d be stuck working all day. “Dad, I’m done,” I shouted from the garden, feeling sure that I had done a good job. But then Dad 3 out of the house. “Don’t shout!” he said, waving an angry finger, “you missed a spot.” I sighed and went back to work. Atter a while, I looked back at Dad. He still wore that mad look on his face, his eyes searching the garden as if he could find every tiny imperfection. “Okay,” he said, 4 , “I guess you’ re done.” As Dad walked back to the house, I wondered if he liked me. Two weeks later, on the morning of another weed picking weekend, I woke up feverish. “Let’s go,” Dad said, 5 me from the bed. “You need to see a doctor.” “Please, no,” I said in a 6 voice, “I’d rather pull weeds.” He took me anyway, and the doctor said I had pneumonia (肺炎).

But what if you’re ready to look deeper into the night sky using a telescope? Nobody wants to make a big investment, and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is a solution to that. Celestar is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSmart Explorer app and dock have been designed to run on its telescopes. The free StarSmart Explorer app uses information based on precise location and time to tell you which stars and planets can be seen in the night sky.How it works Connect the phone with the telescope and select your intended celestial target. The phone will be held over an integrated mirror, so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSmart Explorer processes the information and your telescope will adjust accordingly, placing the target in the middle. As well as locating your desired target, StarSmart Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe. The app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view.Why it’s special Most astronomy apps use a smartphone’s compass to estimate its position. The pointing accuracy of a smartphone has margin for error. Precision matters when it comes to stargazing. StarSmart Explorer is the only astronomy app to use modern plate solving technology to find its target, and it claims a typical pointing accuracy of 0.25°. The app takes a picture of the night sky and matches the star pattern within the image to its internal database. It’s similar, in essence, to facial recognition. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSmart Explorer app is free and works well with StarSmart Explorer telescopes, starting from £299.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestar’s StarSmart Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more at www.celestar.com/starsmart. 21．StarSmart Explorer can help ________. A．decide observation duration B．locate stars precisely C．record information on stars D．find unknown planets 22．StarSmart Explorer is unique because________ A．it matches different types of telescopes B．it uses a smartphone’s built-in compass C．it is powered by advanced technology D．it is equipped with the latest database 23．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a set of equipment. B．To promote a stargazing product. C．To recommend a science project. D．To present an astronomical discovery. B In 2010, four friends, carrying 32 kg worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼). But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer? Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best. If you put me in the Red Sea in 20 m of warm water — I don’t take better images than others.” In an extreme situation on the other hand — one in which he feels he shouldn’t be allowed, that his time is limited, there is an urgency — a switch clicks. Thanks to Ballesta’s work, we now know the coelacanth is among the longest-living fish species, with a life of around 100 years, and has one of the slowest life histories of all ocean fish. Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors, and it is only by observing these creatures in their own habitat that we can really begin to understand them. The coelacanth exploration was a springboard for Ballesta’s exploration career. In2019, Ballesta pioneered a new diving technique, which would allow commercial divers to sink to great depths. He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean. Ballesta is both an artist and a scientist. His work acts as a window into the unknown — one that we can all look through. 24．What was Laurent Ballesta’s significant achievement in 2010? A．Exploring beneath the Sodwana Bay. B．Taking photos of a living coelacanth. C．Finding the secret of dinosaur extinction. D．Diving with the heaviest camera equipment. 25．What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best? A．Fierce competitions. B．New diving technique. C．Sea animal knowledge. D．Challenging situations. 26．We learn that long-lived fish species ___________. A．live a life of over 100 years B．have the slowest life histories C．are sensitive to human activities D．are easy to adapt to new ecosystems 27．What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta? A．Careful and passionate. B．Brave and creative. C．Modest and hardworking. D．Tough and competitive. C When people view photographs of frightening spiders, scientists usually observe increased electrical activity deep in their brain, in a region called the periaqueductal gray (PAG). The obvious conclusion is that the PAG controls fight-or-flight responses in threatening situations. But what if brains don’t have dedicated circuits for fighting and flighting? Is threat detection really a primary mode of the brain with its own neural circuitry (神经回路)? This idea of fight-or-flight circuits originates from the “triune brain” model dividing brains into the so-called lizard brain, including the PAG, for survival functions, the “limbic system” for emotions, and the “neocortex” for higher-order reasoning. If you know anything about evolution, you might know that something is spurious. The only animal on this planet with a lizard brain is a lizard. Also, there’s no unified limbic “system” or the “neocortex” for emotions or rationality (理性) respectively. So where does this leave the fight-or-flight story? Recently, changes in PAG activity have been observed in nonthreatening tasks, such as reading a fascinating article about the brain. The PAG has also been proved to regulate bodily systems continuously. Incidentally, this explains why antianxiety medications manage anxiety disorders without healing them. They target brain circuits that aren’t dedicated to anxiety or fight-or-flight but that simply regulate the body. Researches on the brain’s powers also cast new light on our understandings. In daily life, individuals might feel like they perceive and react to various stimuli as either threatening or safe. Actually, the brain, using past experiences, skillfully predicts and formulates action plans in anticipation of events before stimuli occur. The brain’s preparatory mechanism, metabolically (新陈代谢地) expensive, involves complicated neuronal activities for sustaining multiple predictions and corresponding action plans over extended periods. But the experiences in fight-or-flight responses crafted by your brain don’t reveal how it works. Moreover, your brain, which does much more than avoid threats, handles a complex social world full of uncertainty. That’s a recipe for stress. And what is stress? It reflects energy preparation for anticipated challenges. Your brain often makes sense of metabolic cost of uncertainty, if it drags on for long enough, as anxiety, but that’s not a must. People seek uncertainty out — and its positive cousin, novelty — when they try new foods or learn new skills. Uncertainty is common, but these days, with social media and round-the-clock news coverage, it sometimes bombards us and leaves us anxious and exhausted. But these feelings don’t emerge from fight-or-flight circuits. They may just mean, in an ever changing and only partly predictable world, that you’re doing something hard. 28．The author asks the questions in Paragraph 1 to ________. A．evaluate a statement B．justify an assumption C．challenge an argument D．introduce a new concept 29．Which does the underlined word “spurious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Rare. B．Wrong. C．Limited. D．Unexpected. 30．What can we infer from this passage? A．Hunting for novelty reduces stress and anxiety. B．Medicine targeting PAG cures anxiety disorders. C．Uncertainty is a product of modern media and news cycles. D．The “Fight or Flight” idea overlooks the brain’s predictive power. D The artificial intelligence (AI) sector has oscillated between enthusiasm and skepticism in recent years. Tech giants including Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft collectively poured nearly 200 billion into AI infrastructure in 2024 alone, surpassing the GDP of nations like Hungary or New Zealand. Nvidia, dominating the AI-chip market, witnessed its valuation skyrocket to 3.4 trillion as chip sales doubled — a growth rate three times faster than the semiconductor industry average. Meanwhile, server providers like Dell reported unprecedented demand, with AI server shipments jumping 78% year-on-year, signaling AI’s transformative potential across industries from drug discovery to autonomous driving. Yet beneath the surface, challenges loom. Training advanced AI models consumes staggering energy — equivalent to powering 15 million US households annually — raising concerns about long-term viability (可持续性). In regions like Ireland, data centers already consume 18% of national electricity, straining aging power grids. Server manufacturers and energy firms struggle to meet data-center demands, with delivery delays for AI-optimized servers extending to 48 weeks in 2024. Critics argue that current investments mirror past tech bubbles: the $200 billion AI infrastructure spending represents 65% of the 1999 dot-com bubble’s peak investment adjusted for inflation. Alan Smith, a tech analyst, defends the spending, “AI’s capacity to revolutionize healthcare—such as cutting cancer drug development time from 10 years to 18 months — justifies short-term costs.” However, opponents counter that profit-driven corporations prioritize market dominance over ethical considerations, citing Meta’s 2023 AI ethics board disbandment as evidence. Amid these mounting pressures, competition is going to further complicates the landscape of AI development. Upstart (新兴的) firms like UK-based Graphcore and China’s Cambricon challenge industry leaders by creating compact, energy-efficient AI tools. For instance, startups now offer specialized chips such as Graphcore’s IPU (Intelligence Processing Unit) at 40% lower costs than Nvidia’s products, democratizing access to AI technology. This fragmentation mirrors the 1980s PC market shakeup, where IBM’s dominance was eroded by agile competitors. Investors, initially infatuated with AI’s promise, grow wary of over-commitment. A recent McKinsey survey revealed 62% of shareholders believe AI firms must clarify their financial strategies within two years, a demand intensified by OpenAI’s $540 million quarterly losses despite ChatGPT’s success. In addition, the environmental effects make it increasingly urgent to tackle this challenge head-on. Data centers account for 3% of global electricity use — a figure matching aviation’s carbon footprint — projected to triple by 2030. The International Energy Agency warns that unregulated AI growth could increase global CO₂ emissions by 1.5% annually, undermining climate goals. While companies like Microsoft invest in renewable energy, constructing solar farms to power Arizona data centers, critics demand stricter regulations. The EU’s proposed Artificial Intelligence Act now includes provisions requiring energy transparency for AI systems. Dr. Emily Zhou, a sustainability researcher at Tsinghua University, warns, “Unless accompanied by robust regulatory measures, AI’s ecological environment risks offsetting its technological advancements, as exemplified by China’s carbon tax initiative targeting data centers — a policy framework to balance industrial progress with environmental management.” As the AI sector grapples with escalating energy consumption, ethical controversies, and speculative investment patterns, the AI industry stands at a crossroads. Its potential to reshape economies is undeniable — PwC estimates AI could contribute $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030—but unchecked growth risks ecological harm and market instability. The 2024 global AI Governance Summit highlighted the need for international standards, yet consensus remains elusive. But, the path forward requires both technological breakthroughs and a shift in priorities — making carbon-neutral data centers and transparent AI governance essential, not optional. 31．Regarding Alan Smith’s defence of AI spending, the author is ______. A．supportive B．doubtful C．critical D．unconcerned 32．What does the word “infatuated” underlined in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Shocked. B．Protected. C．Attracted. D．Challenged. 33．What can we learn from this passage? A．AI’s environmental costs may reduce its benefits without policy intervention. B．Renewable energy investments can resolve sustainability issues completely. C．Stricter regulations should prioritize ecological protection over market instability. D．Tech companies’ ethical considerations are sufficient to address energy demands. 34．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．AI Investment: Balancing Short-Term Costs and Long-Term Viability B．Data Centers’ Energy Use: The Hidden Crisis Behind AI Development C．When Innovation Breeds Chaos: Why AI Development Must Slow Down D．Artificial Intelligence: Navigating Transformation Amid Emerging Challenges 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。 Whether it’s the echo (回声) of beeping tills in a supermarket or the hissing of a coffee machine in your local café, the brain is constantly working to decode (解码) hundreds of noises each day. But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. 35 She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). 36 However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play. Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health. But some experts warn that by blocking everyday sounds, the brain may “forget” how to filter (过滤) noise. 37 Over-reliance on noise-canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments. 38 Audiologists are calling for more research into the impact of noise-canceling headphones on teen’s auditory processing. 39 Mobile apps with “word in noise” training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low-gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested. A．The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown. B．Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference. C．Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices. D．She would leave bars and restaurants early because of the stressful noise. E．They note that the high-level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens. F．One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on. G．Hearing a diversity of sounds helps the brain decide what is important to focus on. 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。 A Journey with a Painting Drone In the messy garage of their home, 16-year-old Emma stared at the pieces of her brother’s old broken drone (无人机). Her physics teacher had given the class a task — turning old technology into something “magical.” While most students built simple things like solar chargers, Emma dreamed of something bigger — a drone that could paint pictures while flying! She drew designs mixing science and art — brushes attached to propellers (螺旋桨) and colours guided by GPS. Her classmates laughed, calling it a “flying junk,” but Emma kept working. One rainy afternoon, she adjusted the drone’s settings to match music. Every beat released a paint drop. The first try was a mess — bright paints spread everywhere. But Emma noticed a pattern in the chaos. After five tries, the drone danced to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, creating a beautiful abstract painting. Her project won the school’s top prize and even inspired local artists to use her technology for large outdoor artworks. Emma’s success wasn’t just about imagination. It teaches us three essential keys to unlocking creativity. First, balance is crucial. Creativity grows not in daydreams alone, but when wild ideas meet real-world logic. Emma didn’t just imagine a painting drone; she grounded her vision in maths and physics, calculating how to keep brushes steady mid-flight. Second, bravery grows through small steps. Early on, Emma almost abandoned her idea, fearing others would laugh. But she fought doubt by practising creativity daily. Finally, fun fuels persistence. Emma’s first test spread paints everywhere, but instead of giving up, she found joy in the chaos. Her attempts reminded her that “impossible” ideas can awaken wonder. Creativity isn’t a rare gift for the chosen few; it’s a muscle that strengthens when we laugh at failures and celebrate small wins. Most importantly, Emma’s journey mirrors a universal truth: creativity, like a child learning to walk, demands patience. Every wobble (蹒跚) and every fall is a track of progress. When we cheer for effort rather than perfection — whether for a child’s first steps or our own messy drafts — we unlock the courage to keep moving forward. 40．What task did Emma’s physics teacher give to the class? 41．According to the author, what are the essential keys to unlocking creativity? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Emma, valuing the final result instead of small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. 43．How do you unlock your creativity? Please give one example.

And it was Saturday! “I 1 pulling weeds!” I thought. Still, I made sure to pull every annoying weed. My dad could 2 a single weed a mile away. And if he spotted even one, I’d be stuck working all day. “Dad, I’m done,” I shouted from the garden, feeling sure that I had done a good job. But then Dad 3 out of the house. “Don’t shout!” he said, waving an angry finger, “you missed a spot.” I sighed and went back to work. Atter a while, I looked back at Dad. He still wore that mad look on his face, his eyes searching the garden as if he could find every tiny imperfection. “Okay,” he said, 4 , “I guess you’ re done.” As Dad walked back to the house, I wondered if he liked me. Two weeks later, on the morning of another weed picking weekend, I woke up feverish. “Let’s go,” Dad said, 5 me from the bed. “You need to see a doctor.” “Please, no,” I said in a 6 voice, “I’d rather pull weeds.” He took me anyway, and the doctor said I had pneumonia (肺炎).

But what if you’re ready to look deeper into the night sky using a telescope? Nobody wants to make a big investment, and then aimlessly scan the stars trying to find an object. Help is needed. Thankfully, there is a solution to that. Celestar is a leader in the world of telescopes and its StarSmart Explorer app and dock have been designed to run on its telescopes. The free StarSmart Explorer app uses information based on precise location and time to tell you which stars and planets can be seen in the night sky.How it works Connect the phone with the telescope and select your intended celestial target. The phone will be held over an integrated mirror, so that star patterns can reflect off the mirror and into the phone’s camera. StarSmart Explorer processes the information and your telescope will adjust accordingly, placing the target in the middle. As well as locating your desired target, StarSmart Explorer holds detailed information about your chosen object. Listen to an audio presentation while you observe. The app will even give you observing tips on how to get the best view.Why it’s special Most astronomy apps use a smartphone’s compass to estimate its position. The pointing accuracy of a smartphone has margin for error. Precision matters when it comes to stargazing. StarSmart Explorer is the only astronomy app to use modern plate solving technology to find its target, and it claims a typical pointing accuracy of 0.25°. The app takes a picture of the night sky and matches the star pattern within the image to its internal database. It’s similar, in essence, to facial recognition. Plate solving would normally require specialised technology, such as sensitive imaging camera, lens and astronomical software, all at great cost. The StarSmart Explorer app is free and works well with StarSmart Explorer telescopes, starting from £299.99. If you’re ready to take a deeper dive into astronomy, Celestar’s StarSmart Explorer technology will make a fine companion. You can discover more at www.celestar.com/starsmart. 21．StarSmart Explorer can help ________. A．decide observation duration B．locate stars precisely C．record information on stars D．find unknown planets 22．StarSmart Explorer is unique because________ A．it matches different types of telescopes B．it uses a smartphone’s built-in compass C．it is powered by advanced technology D．it is equipped with the latest database 23．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To introduce a set of equipment. B．To promote a stargazing product. C．To recommend a science project. D．To present an astronomical discovery. B In 2010, four friends, carrying 32 kg worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼). But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer? Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best.

But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. 35 She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). 36 However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play. Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health. But some experts warn that by blocking everyday sounds, the brain may “forget” how to filter (过滤) noise. 37 Over-reliance on noise-canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments. 38 Audiologists are calling for more research into the impact of noise-canceling headphones on teen’s auditory processing. 39 Mobile apps with “word in noise” training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low-gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested. A．The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown. B．Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference. C．Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices. D．She would leave bars and restaurants early because of the stressful noise. E．They note that the high-level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens. F．One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on. G．Hearing a diversity of sounds helps the brain decide what is important to focus on. 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。 A Journey with a Painting Drone In the messy garage of their home, 16-year-old Emma stared at the pieces of her brother’s old broken drone (无人机). Her physics teacher had given the class a task — turning old technology into something “magical.” While most students built simple things like solar chargers, Emma dreamed of something bigger — a drone that could paint pictures while flying! She drew designs mixing science and art — brushes attached to propellers (螺旋桨) and colours guided by GPS. Her classmates laughed, calling it a “flying junk,” but Emma kept working. One rainy afternoon, she adjusted the drone’s settings to match music. Every beat released a paint drop. The first try was a mess — bright paints spread everywhere. But Emma noticed a pattern in the chaos. After five tries, the drone danced to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, creating a beautiful abstract painting. Her project won the school’s top prize and even inspired local artists to use her technology for large outdoor artworks. Emma’s success wasn’t just about imagination. It teaches us three essential keys to unlocking creativity. First, balance is crucial. Creativity grows not in daydreams alone, but when wild ideas meet real-world logic. Emma didn’t just imagine a painting drone; she grounded her vision in maths and physics, calculating how to keep brushes steady mid-flight. Second, bravery grows through small steps. Early on, Emma almost abandoned her idea, fearing others would laugh. But she fought doubt by practising creativity daily. Finally, fun fuels persistence. Emma’s first test spread paints everywhere, but instead of giving up, she found joy in the chaos. Her attempts reminded her that “impossible” ideas can awaken wonder. Creativity isn’t a rare gift for the chosen few; it’s a muscle that strengthens when we laugh at failures and celebrate small wins. Most importantly, Emma’s journey mirrors a universal truth: creativity, like a child learning to walk, demands patience. Every wobble (蹒跚) and every fall is a track of progress. When we cheer for effort rather than perfection — whether for a child’s first steps or our own messy drafts — we unlock the courage to keep moving forward. 40．What task did Emma’s physics teacher give to the class? 41．According to the author, what are the essential keys to unlocking creativity? 42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Emma, valuing the final result instead of small wins, learned from failures and eventually achieved her goal. 43．How do you unlock your creativity? Please give one example.
