This very popular 6-day annual walking festival, held 22nd-27th April 2025, usually consists of 35 walks guided walks, kicking off on the first Tuesday. The festival is designed to showcase the stunning landscape, local food producers and rich heritage of the Wye Valley and Monmouth shire. There are more castley in Monmouth shire than anywhere else in Europe and the only hard decision we have, to make is which walks we want to feature to attract you to visit our hidden gems, such as breathtaking views, ancient woodland, pretty villages, historic churches and majestic rivers (to name just a few). Chepstow is well known for its long, clearly way marked trails. It serves as the start, finish, or nearby point for several famous routes, including the Offa’s Dyke Path, Wye Valley Walk, Gloucestershire Way, and the Wales Coast Path. It is also the starting point of the newly designed Monmouth shire Way—a 121-mile circular route that begins at Chepsto w and showcases the historic Old Kingdom of Gwent. All walks are led by experienced friendly walk leaders who either live or work in the area. It’s an opportunity to catch up with friends or make some new ones. The full programme will be available from February 2025 and we can hardly wait! Guide Prices Entrance fee £5.00 per adult Children under 16 years are free, but must be accompanied by an adult. Per walk £5.00(no limit on the number of people) 1. What is the primary goal of the Chepstow Walking Festival? A. To promote local food and culture. B. To provide challenging hiking trails. C. To attract tourists to visit more castles. D. To highlight the features of the region. 2. What is special about the Monmouth shire Way mentioned in the text? A. It starts and ends at Chepstow. B.

How much should a couple and their three children（under 16）pay for three different walks during the festival? A. £15. B. £25. C. £35. D. £45. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。2025年4月22—27日切普斯托徒步节将举办，旨在展示当地特色，介绍了路线、费用等相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The festival is designed to showcase the stunning landscape, local food producers and rich heritage of the Wye Valley and Monmouth shire.(这个节日旨在展示怀伊河谷和蒙茅斯郡令人惊叹的景观、当地的食品生产商和丰富的遗产)”可知，切普斯托徒步节的主要目标是突出该地区的特色，包括景观、美食和文化遗产等。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“It is also the starting point of the newly designed Monmouth shire Way—a 121-mile circular route that begins at Chepstow and showcases the historic Old Kingdom of Gwent.(它也是新设计的蒙茅斯郡之路的起点 —— 一条 121 英里的环形路线，从切普斯托开始，展示了历史上的格温特王国)”可知，蒙茅斯郡之路的特殊之处在于它是一条从切普斯托开始并结束的环形路线。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guide Prices部分“Entrance fee £5.00 per adult. Children under 16 years are free, but must be accompanied by an adult. Per walk £5.00 (no limit on the number of people)(入场费每位成人5.00英镑。16岁以下的儿童免费，但必须由成人陪同。每次步行5.00英镑（人数不限）)”可知，一对夫妇需要支付入场费2×5=10英镑。因为每次徒步5英镑（不限人数），这对夫妇和三个孩子参加三次不同的徒步，徒步费用是5×3=15英镑。所以总共需要支付10+15=25英镑。故选B项。 B A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree. The project is the brainchild of Elizabeth — Jane Baldry, a local harpist who bought the spot — then poor quality former agricultural land 18 years ago. She named it Pigwiggen Wood, and with the help of her two sons, has since turned it into a wildlife refuge. The dream to crown the space with a grand oak table was a longstanding one, Baldry told Positive News: “The Tudor oak came from an old estate in mid-Devon,” she said. “Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.” Many of the comments from people who supported the crowd funding campaign brought tears to Baldry’s eyes. “Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world,” she said. “Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.” And now there are all the stories still to come, Baldry added: “the midsummer feasts, the bowls of steaming soup cooked over the fire on winter days, the children drawing and making things, the parish picnics, and the essential quiet days when visitors can simply relax and soak up the magic.” 4. What is special about the Great Oak Table? A. It is made from a rare type of oak. B. It is the most extensive single-oak table. C. Its benches have a seating capacity of 18. D. It is located in a significant agricultural land. 5. What can be inferred about the donors to the crowd funding campaign? A. They were hungry for the midsummer feasts. B. They were preserving ancient crafting techniques. C. They valued the symbolic meaning of the project. D. They have experienced the joy of sitting at the table. 6. How does Baldry envision the table’s future role? A. A temporary attraction for tourists. B. A symbol of personal achievement. C. A useful tool for cooking purposes. D. A lasting place for shared connections. 7. What can we learn from the text? A. Tradition ends where modern ambition begins. B. Silent forests hold secrets beyond our understanding. C. Magic blossoms when people unite to preserve heritage. D. Beauty in nature fades quickly if left without a watchful eye. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了人们团结起来将一棵橡树改造成巨大的橡木桌，人们聚在橡木桌上分享生活的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree.(一张巨大的橡木长桌——外加配套的长凳，可容纳60人就座——是当地人筹集了22,555英镑后，将15年前在一场风暴中倒下的一棵有着500年历史的橡树改造而成的，他们认为这是迄今为止用一整棵橡树打造的最长的桌子。)”可知，大橡木桌的特别之处是这是单棵橡树所能制成的规模最大的桌子。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world(有些人甚至从大洋彼岸捐款，尽管他们不太可能有机会亲自坐在这张桌子旁，但他们表示，自己捐款是因为仅仅知道这张“巨大橡木长桌”的存在，就让他们对这个世界感觉更好了)”和“Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.(“神奇（magical）”这个词被反复提及，我认为这表明我们所有人都如此渴望得到一种被迷住的体验，以及一种归属感。)”可知，捐助者重视这项工程的象征意义。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.(这棵树历经五百年生长，之后又以桌子的形态在德文郡（Devon）的一片树林中保存了五百年，那里是人们可以聚集在一起分享食物、友情和热烈交谈的地方。)”可知，Baldry认为这个桌子是一个共享联系的持久场所。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree.(一张巨大的橡木长桌——外加配套的长凳，可容纳60人同时就座——是在当地人筹集了22,555英镑资金后打造而成的，他们将15年前在一场风暴中倒下的一棵有着500年历史的橡树，改造成了他们所认为的有史以来用单棵橡树制作的最长的桌子。)”和第三段“Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.(这棵树历经五百年生长，之后又以桌子的形态在德文郡（Devon）的一片树林中保存了五百年，那里是人们可以聚集在一起分享食物、友情和热烈交谈的地方。)”可知，本文主要讲述了人们团结起来将一棵橡树改造成巨大的橡木桌，人们聚在橡木桌上分享生活的故事，因此可以从文中了解到“当人们团结起来保护遗产时，神奇就会绽放”。故选C。 C Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. Li Zhang at the University of Southern California and his colleagues filmed laboratory mice presented with a familiar cage mate that was either active or unconscious. Over several tests, mice devoted about 47 percent of a 13-minute observation period interacting with their unconscious partner. According to Zhang, “They start with sniffing and then very intensive interaction,” including licking the eyes, biting around the mouth, and pulling out the tongue in more than 50 percent of cases. In a separate test, researchers placed a plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse, and in 80 percent of cases, the helping mice successfully removed the object. Team member Huizhong Tao believes extending the observation period could achieve an even higher success rate. Furthermore, mice that received caregiving woke up and started walking sooner compared to those that were left unattended. Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. Zhang notes that the observed behaviour is not analogous to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which requires specialist training. Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. Zhang’s team found that these caregiving behaviours are driven by oxytocin (催产素)-releasing cells located in the brain, consistent with oxytocin’s known role in caregiving behaviours across vertebrates (脊椎动物). Two other research teams have recently reported similar behaviours, supporting the reliability of these findings. Cristina Márquez at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra, acknowledges the findings’ accuracy but cautions against seeing animals act like humans or attributing intentions beyond observed actions. Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. 8. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. The training of mice to help companions in danger. B. The behaviours of mice helping unconscious partners. C. The percentage of mice avoiding interaction in cages. D. The activity level of mice toward their familiar mates. 9. When would helping mice stop giving care behaviours according to paragraph 2? A. When the research observation time ended. B. When unconscious mice showed no response. C. When unconscious mice began moving again. D. When the plastic ball was successfully removed. 10. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Unrelated. D. Beneficial. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Mice and Medicine: Advanced Rescue Skills B. The Role of Training in Animal Rescue Behaviours C. Differences Between Wild Mice and Laboratory Mice D. First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是实验室小鼠对被麻醉的笼中同伴表现出的照顾行为。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. (年幼的老鼠似乎会试图通过舔舐、轻拍，甚至拉起（同伴的）舌头以清理其气道的方式，来唤醒一只被麻醉的笼中同伴。)”可知，第一段的重点是老鼠帮助无意识的同伴的行为。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. (一旦那只失去意识的老鼠开始动弹，照顾它的老鼠们便减少了帮助，随后便停止了援助。)”可知，当失去意识的老鼠又开始动弹时，提供帮助的老鼠便停止了照顾行为。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. (相反，这看起来更像是使用气味浓烈的嗅盐或进行基础急救措施以确保呼吸。)”可知，张指出，观察到的行为与需要专业培训的心肺复苏术（CPR）不同，划线词analogous的意思是“相似的”，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. (年幼的老鼠似乎会试图通过舔舐、轻拍，甚至拉起（同伴的）舌头以清理其气道的方式，来唤醒一只被麻醉的笼中同伴。)”和最后一段“Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. (Zhang认为，这种行为很可能是天生的，因为参与实验的小鼠只有2到3个月大，且之前从未经历过这样的场景。他提出，这种天生的照顾行为可能会增强群体的凝聚力，并且在社会性动物中可能比之前所认知的更为普遍。)”可知，本文主要讲的是实验室小鼠对被麻醉的笼中同伴表现出的照顾行为，因此最恰当的题目是D选项“First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour (老鼠的急救：自然社会行为的研究)”。故选D。 D “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” Joanna once said — and while the Poetry Camera goes against that very statement, it’s a perfect representation of how technology can help foster art between humans and AI. The Poetry Camera isn’t your average handheld instant shooter. Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff-but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked. Essentially the Poetry Camera runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 chip, with a Camera Module 3 connected to an Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer. Connection to OpenAI’s API allows the camera to feed AI images, and have it generate poetry as a result. The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls—a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment. This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica-a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new. While Paragraphica did make images, like cameras are supposed to, the Poetry Camera turns scenes into poems, and if this is what the AI uprising will look like, count me in! 12. How is the Poetry Camera different from a Polaroid camera? A. It uses film to print photos. B. It focuses on capturing scenery. C. It helps humans with housework. D. It generates poems instead of photos. 13. What does the knob on the Poetry Camera control? A. The length of the printed poem. B. The speed of capturing images. C. The size of the printed photo. D. The connection to OpenAI 14. In what way will the Poetry Camera be offered to buyers? A. It will be sold globally at a low price. B. It will have limited availability at first. C. Mass sales plans are already in progress. D. There will be no restrictions on its purchase. 15. Why does the author mention the Paragraphica in the last paragraph? A. To state the overuse of AI for replacing human creativity. B. To suggest that Paragraphica stands above Poetry Camera. C. To illustrate a trend of combining AI with artistic creation. D. To emphasize the Poetry Camera’s uniqueness in creating images. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Poetry Camera这款结合人工智能与艺术创作的相机。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff-but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked.(当然，它有镜头、快门按钮，也能打印东西，但与在胶片上打印照片的Polaroid不同，Poetry Camera拍摄场景，识别其中的元素，然后利用人工智能根据拍摄内容创作一首优美的诗歌)”可知，Poetry Camera与Polaroid的不同之处在于，它生成的是诗歌而不是照片。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls—a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. (其设置相当简单，所有组件都能装进这个可爱的3D打印外壳中，仅配有两个控制部件：一个用于拍照的快门按钮，以及一个可调节诗歌行数的旋钮。从某种程度上说，你可以把它看作曝光旋钮，它能让人工智能有更多“空间”捕捉细节，从而创作出更有深度的长诗)”可知，Poetry Camera上的旋钮控制着打印诗歌的长度。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment.(Poetry Camera目前还只是一个个人项目，因为Kelin和Ryan并没有准备进行大规模生产。虽然目前价格尚不清楚，但在网站上注册时事通讯的人将可以获得有限数量的相机)”可知，Poetry Camera最初将限量发售。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica-a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new.(这并不是我们第一次看到人工智能进入相机项目。早在2018年，Dan Macnish就发明了一种能画出它所看到的东西的相机，而在2023年，我们得到了Paragraphica——一种没有镜头的相机，它使用位置和时间数据来生成人工智能图像。在某些方面，Poetry Camera与Paragraphica相似，因为它使用人工智能来生成新的东西)”可知，作者在最后一段提到Paragraphica是为了说明人工智能与艺术创作相结合的趋势。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Take a Good Profile Picture Your profile picture is often the first impression you make online — ___16___. A great profile photo can help you stand out. We’ll walk you through simple tips to make it. ___17___ The first step is to clean your face. If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time. Once your face is prepared, it’s time to move on to makeup. A natural look is highly advisable. Be specific in your product selection: avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo. After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type. For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key. Getting the pose right ___18___ and don’t stand too far from the camera. A shoulders-up shot with your head centered usually gives the best results. Next, consider the space around your face. You want some breathing room, but not too much distance. As for your expression, choose one that truly reflects your personality. ___19___; tension is easily visible in photos. Practice in the mirror to find your most natural look. Finally, since not everyone has a perfectly balanced face, take test photos from both sides. Finding a good background Your choice of location matters significantly. Opting for a natural setting such as a park, backyard, or forest not only brings in a refreshing and lively atmosphere but also benefits from excellent outdoor lighting. If you’re aiming for something more professional, an office or library can be ideal. Your bedroom, too, can be a great option. A tidy, well-lit bedroom can add a personal touch and a cozy feeling. Select a clean, minimalistic backdrop that enhances your appearance without overshadowing the image. ___20___. A. Having your face right B. Preparing for the photo C. Be sure to keep it simple D. Remember to relax your face E. Position your face in the middle F. whether you prefer a profile photo or not matters G. whether for social media or professional platforms 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何拍摄一张好的个人资料照片，从面部准备、姿势调整、背景选择等方面提供建议。 【16题详解】 上文提到“Your profile picture is often the first impression you make online(你的头像通常是你在网上给人的第一印象)”，此处需要进一步说明“网上”的具体场景。G 选项“whether for social media or professional platforms(无论是社交媒体还是专业平台)”通过whether... or...结构，明确了头像在不同网络平台（社交或专业）中的普遍性，承接上文online，强调头像的重要性适用于所有线上场景，逻辑连贯。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据第二段“The first step is to clean your face. If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time. Once your face is prepared, it’s time to move on to makeup. A natural look is highly advisable. Be specific in your product selection: avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo. After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type. For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key.(第一步是洗脸。如果你喜欢把脸刮得干干净净的样子，现在是最佳时机。一旦你的脸准备好了，就该开始化妆了。自然的妆容是非常可取的。在选择产品时要特别注意：避免亮闪闪的化妆品，选择不亮闪闪的粉底，因为这样可以防止你的皮肤在最后的照片中显得过于亮闪闪。洗面和化妆后，让它适合你的发质。例如，如果你是直发，那就好好洗头；如果你的头发很厚，适当的护理是关键。)”可知，该段落围绕清洁面部、化妆、打理头发展开，均属于拍摄前的准备工作。B选项“Preparing for the photo(为拍照做准备)”作为段落标题，精准概括了段落核心——从面部到发型的前期准备，符合段落结构。故选B。 【18题详解】 下文“and don’t stand too far from the camera. A shoulders-up shot with your head centered usually gives the best results. Next, consider the space around your face. You want some breathing room, but not too much distance. As for your expression, choose one that truly reflects your personality.(不要站得离相机太远。以你的头为中心，肩朝上拍摄通常会得到最好的效果。接下来，考虑一下脸部周围的空间。你需要一些喘息的空间，但不要太远。至于你的表情，选择一个真正反映你个性的。)”提到“不要站得离相机太远”、“头部居中的肩部以上镜头效果最佳”，核心是“脸部在画面中的位置”。E 选项“Position your face in the middle(将脸置于中间位置)”直接对应后文head centered，强调拍摄时的构图要点，与下文“不要离镜头太远”共同构成对姿势的具体建议，逻辑一致。故选E。 【19题详解】 下文“tension is easily visible in photos. Practice in the mirror to find your most natural look. Finally, since not everyone has a perfectly balanced face, take test photos from both sides.(在照片中很容易看到紧张感。对着镜子练习，找到自己最自然的样子。最后，因为不是每个人都有完美平衡的脸，所以从两边拍摄测试照片。)”指出“紧张在照片中很容易显现，练习找到自然的表情”，核心是“放松面部表情”。D选项“Remember to relax your face(记得放松你的脸部)”直接呼应后文tension is easily visible和natural look，强调放松对表情自然的重要性，是对该段“表情管理”的关键总结。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“Your choice of location matters significantly. Opting for a natural setting such as a park, backyard, or forest not only brings in a refreshing and lively atmosphere but also benefits from excellent outdoor lighting. If you’re aiming for something more professional, an office or library can be ideal. Your bedroom, too, can be a great option. A tidy, well-lit bedroom can add a personal touch and a cozy feeling. Select a clean, minimalistic backdrop that enhances your appearance without overshadowing the image.(你选择的地点很重要。选择自然环境，如公园、后院或森林，不仅能带来清新活泼的氛围，还能从良好的户外照明中受益。如果你的目标是更专业的地方，办公室或图书馆可能是理想的选择。你的卧室也是一个不错的选择。一个整洁、明亮的卧室可以增加个人的触摸和舒适的感觉。选择一个干净，简约的背景，增强你的外观，而不会遮蔽图像。)”强调背景要“干净、简约（clean, minimalistic）”，避免喧宾夺主。C选项“Be sure to keep it simple(一定要保持简单)”与minimalistic backdrop形成同义替换，进一步强调背景选择的核心原则——简洁，确保背景不干扰主体（人物），符合段落主旨。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was the end of 2020 when I received the news that I had been successful in securing my dream job in a school in Wuxi, China.

It was a book filled with interesting and uplifting stories. I remember I began reading it that very night. And I would read a story or two before going to bed each night. One evening I read a story about hugging called “It Can’t Happen Here?” The opening quotation by Virginia Satir said we need four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance (保持) and twelve hugs a day to grow. I read this story on a Tuesday. I knew it was Tuesday because on Wednesday I walked into my classroom and declared that every Wednesday would be known as “Hugging Day.”I told my students everyone needs hugs to live and grow. I was already a hugger and had always greeted my students with a warm hug each morning. But after reading the story in this new book, I decided that on Hugging Day everyone needed to make sure they got at least twelve hugs. I wanted my students to grow. All hugs didn’t have to come from me, but I was ready, willing, and able to give as many as needed. My students lined up at my desk with questions and left with a hug. They hugged me before and after lunch. They hugged me when they came to school in the morning and when they left for home in the afternoon. And perhaps best of all, the children in my classroom hugged each other. Every Wednesday, my students counted their hugs to make sure they were getting their fair share. I continued the practice for several years. Through the years, I hugged all kinds of kids — those who were untidy and those who were clean, children who were gifted academically and others whose gifts lay elsewhere. Among them, Nicole, one of my students, stood out for her enthusiasm about Hugging Day. She was a shy girl who rarely spoke up in class, but on Hugging Day, she would always be the first to line up to hug me. I could see how much a hug meant to her. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右： （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 One Wednesday afternoon, I was cleaning up my classroom. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nicole fell into my arms and began to sob. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考作文 One Wednesday afternoon, I was cleaning up my classroom. I needed to get everything ready for the next day. Just as I was about to leave, a soft voice called into the empty classroom, “May I come in?” I looked up to see a girl standing in the doorway. It was Nicole. She stood there with her arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if she was trying to hold back her feelings. She looked up at me with a mixture of hope and sadness. Obviously, she was trying hard not to cry. “Nicole, what’s wrong?” I said gently, inviting her to come in. Nicole fell into my arms and began to sob. Tears streamed down her cheeks when I hugged her tightly. We sat down in the chairs, and she began to pour out her heart. She told me about the challenges she was facing — peer pressure, family issues, and the overwhelming stress of growing up. We talked, we shared, and we left that room to go our separate ways. But I learned something new that day. Sometimes it doesn’t take four hugs to survive. Sometimes, it just takes one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。一天，好友赠作者一本充满励志故事的书，作者每晚睡前都会读一两个故事。受书中关于拥抱的启发，作者宣布每周三为“拥抱日”，鼓励学生互拥成长。孩子们积极参与，连内向的妮可也热情响应，拥抱对她意义非凡。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“一个星期三的下午，我正在打扫教室。”可知，第一段可以描写作者在教室清理的具体行为，即将离开时听到妮可的声音，对妮可当时状态的进一步描述，包括她的动作、表情等细节，以及作者邀请她进来的举动。 ②由第二段句首内容“妮可倒在我怀里，开始抽泣。”可知，第二段可以描写妮可投入作者怀抱哭泣时作者的反应，她倾诉自己面临的各种问题时的状态，二人交谈的具体内容，最后二人分开，以及作者从这件事中所获得的感悟，升华主题，强调拥抱和倾听的力量。 2.续写线索：在教室清理 —— 妮可出现 —— 邀请妮可进来 —— 妮可哭泣倾诉 —— 交谈 ——获得感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①正要离开：be about to leave/be on the verge of leaving ②邀请：invite her to come in/ask her to come in ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow/grief ②努力不哭：try hard not to cry/strive not to cry 【点睛】【高分句型1】She stood there with her arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if she was trying to hold back her feelings.

B A Great Oak Table — plus accompanying benches capable of seating 60 comes after locals raised £ 22,555 to transform a 500-year-old oak tree that fell in a storm 15 years ago into what they believe is the longest table ever to be crafted from a single oak tree. The project is the brainchild of Elizabeth — Jane Baldry, a local harpist who bought the spot — then poor quality former agricultural land 18 years ago. She named it Pigwiggen Wood, and with the help of her two sons, has since turned it into a wildlife refuge. The dream to crown the space with a grand oak table was a longstanding one Baldry told Positive News: “The Tudor oak came from an old estate in mid-Devon,” she said. “Five hundred years in the growing and 500 years preserved as a table in a Devon wood, a place where people can gather to share food, friendship and lively conversation.” Many of the comments from people who supported the crowd funding campaign brought tears to Baldry’s eyes. “Some people donated from across the oceans, and even though it’s unlikely that they will ever sit at the table, they said they’d donated because just knowing the Great Oak Table existed made them feel better about the world,” she said. “Over and over again the word ‘magical’ came up, an indication I think that we’re all so hungry for enchantment and a sense of belonging.” And now there are all the stories still to come Baldry added: “the midsummer feasts, the bowls of steaming soup cooked over the fire on winter days, the children drawing and making things, the parish picnics, and the essential quiet days when visitors can simply relax and soak up the magic.” 4 What is special about the Great Oak Table?

C Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized (被麻醉的) cage mate by cleaning, pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway. Li Zhang at the University of Southern California and his colleagues filmed laboratory mice presented with a familiar cage mate that was either active or unconscious. Over several tests, mice devoted about 47 percent of a 13-minute observation period interacting with their unconscious partner. According to Zhang, “They start with sniffing and then very intensive interaction,” including licking the eyes, biting around the mouth, and pulling out the tongue in more than 50 percent of cases. In a separate test, researchers placed a plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse, and in 80 percent of cases, the helping mice successfully removed the object. Team member Huizhong Tao believes extending the observation period could achieve an even higher success rate. Furthermore, mice that received caregiving woke up and started walking sooner compared to those that were left unattended. Once the unconscious mouse started moving, the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance. Zhang notes that the observed behaviour is not analogous to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) which requires specialist training. Instead, it looks like using strong-smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing. Zhang’s team found that these caregiving behaviours are driven by oxytocin (催产素)-releasing cells located in the brain, consistent with oxytocin’s known role in caregiving behaviours across vertebrates (脊椎动物). Two other research teams have recently reported similar behaviours, supporting the reliability of these findings. Cristina Márquez at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra, acknowledges the findings’ accuracy but cautions against seeing animals act like humans or attributing intentions beyond observed actions. Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural, as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios. He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised. 8. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. The training of mice to help companions in danger. B. The behaviours of mice helping unconscious partners. C. The percentage of mice avoiding interaction in cages. D. The activity level of mice toward their familiar mates. 9. When would helping mice stop giving care behaviours according to paragraph 2? A. When the research observation time ended. B. When unconscious mice showed no response. C. When unconscious mice began moving again. D. When the plastic ball was successfully removed. 10. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Similar. B. Opposite. C. Unrelated. D. Beneficial. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Mice and Medicine: Advanced Rescue Skills B. The Role of Training in Animal Rescue Behaviours C. Differences Between Wild Mice and Laboratory Mice D. First Aid by Mice: A Study of Natural Social Behaviour D “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing,” Joanna once said — and while the Poetry Camera goes against that very statement, it’s a perfect representation of how technology can help foster art between humans and AI. The Poetry Camera isn’t your average handheld instant shooter. Sure, it has a lens, and a shutter button, and it prints out stuff-but unlike Polaroid that prints pictures out on film, the Poetry Camera captures a scene, identifies its elements, and then uses AI to make a beautiful poem based on what the camera clicked. Essentially, the Poetry Camera runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 chip, with a Camera Module 3 connected to an Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer. Connection to OpenAI’s API allows the camera to feed AI images, and have it generate poetry as a result. The setup is fairly simple and it all fits inside this adorable 3D-printed case with just two controls—a shutter button for clicking the photo, and a knob (旋钮) that lets you adjust the number of verses you want. In a way, think of it as an exposure knob that gives the AI more space to see smaller details and the AI can create longer poems with more depth. The Poetry Camera is a pet project for now, as Kelin and Ryan aren’t preparing for mass production. Limited drops of the camera will be available to people who sign up for the newsletter on the website, although the price is unknown at the moment. This is far from the first time we’ve seen AI make its way into camera projects. Back in 2018, Dan Macnish created a camera that draws what it sees, while in 2023, we got the Paragraphica-a lens-less camera that used location and time data to generate AI images. The Poetry Camera is, in ways, similar to the Paragraphica in the sense that it uses an AI to generate something new. While Paragraphica did make images, like cameras are supposed to, the Poetry Camera turns scenes into poems, and if this is what the AI uprising will look like, count me in! 12. How is the Poetry Camera different from a Polaroid camera? A. It uses film to print photos. B. It focuses on capturing scenery. C. It helps humans with housework. D. It generates poems instead of photos. 13. What does the knob on the Poetry Camera control? A. The length of the printed poem. B. The speed of capturing images. C. The size of the printed photo. D. The connection to OpenAI 14. In what way will the Poetry Camera be offered to buyers? A. It will be sold globally at a low price. B. It will have limited availability at first. C. Mass sales plans are already in progress. D. There will be no restrictions on its purchase. 15. Why does the author mention the Paragraphica in the last paragraph? A. To state the overuse of AI for replacing human creativity. B. To suggest that Paragraphica stands above Poetry Camera. C. To illustrate a trend of combining AI with artistic creation. D. To emphasize the Poetry Camera’s uniqueness in creating images. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Take a Good Profile Picture Your profile picture is often the first impression you make online — ___16___. A great profile photo can help you stand out. We’ll walk you through simple tips to make it. ___17___ The first step is to clean your face. If you usually like a clean-shaven look, this is the perfect time. Once your face is prepared, it’s time to move on to makeup. A natural look is highly advisable. Be specific in your product selection: avoid shiny makeup and opt for a non-glossy foundation instead, as this will prevent your skin from appearing overly shiny in the final photo. After the face and makeup are sorted, make it suit your hair type. For example, if you have straight hair, wash and give it a good brush; if your hair is thick, proper conditioning is key. Getting the pose right ___18___ and don’t stand too far from the camera. A shoulders-up shot with your head centered usually gives the best results. Next, consider the space around your face.

It was a book filled with interesting and uplifting stories. I remember I began reading it that very night. And I would read a story or two before going to bed each night. One evening I read a story about hugging called “It Can’t Happen Here?” The opening quotation by Virginia Satir said we need four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance (保持) and twelve hugs a day to grow. I read this story on a Tuesday. I knew it was Tuesday because on Wednesday I walked into my classroom and declared that every Wednesday would be known as “Hugging Day.”I told my students everyone needs hugs to live and grow. I was already a hugger and had always greeted my students with a warm hug each morning. But after reading the story in this new book, I decided that on Hugging Day everyone needed to make sure they got at least twelve hugs. I wanted my students to grow. All hugs didn’t have to come from me, but I was ready, willing, and able to give as many as needed. My students lined up at my desk with questions and left with a hug. They hugged me before and after lunch. They hugged me when they came to school in the morning and when they left for home in the afternoon. And perhaps best of all, the children in my classroom hugged each other. Every Wednesday, my students counted their hugs to make sure they were getting their fair share. I continued the practice for several years. Through the years, I hugged all kinds of kids — those who were untidy and those who were clean, children who were gifted academically and others whose gifts lay elsewhere. Among them, Nicole, one of my students, stood out for her enthusiasm about Hugging Day. She was a shy girl who rarely spoke up in class, but on Hugging Day, she would always be the first to line up to hug me. I could see how much a hug meant to her. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右： （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 One Wednesday afternoon, I was cleaning up my classroom. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nicole fell into my arms and began to sob. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
