(她会找到应对压力、在高中生活中导航、取得学业成功以及美容和时尚建议的建议)”可知，Girls’ Life Magazine提供了学习方面的建议。故选D项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开头“We have a list of the best teen magazines. Give the gift of reading to your teens today!(今天就把阅读作为礼物送给你十几岁的孩子吧!)”可知，这篇文章在向父母们推荐几种杂志，可以作为礼物送给自己的孩子，所以受众读者应该是父母。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据National Geographic Kids部分“While designed for kids aged six and up, this magazine features a lot of important, fun information about the world around us.(虽然这本杂志是为6岁以上的孩子设计的，但它有很多关于我们周围世界的重要而有趣的信息)”可知，该杂志适合六岁及以上孩子，而对比其他几个：Muse适合14岁以上孩子；Sports Illustrated Kids适合8至14岁孩子；Girls’ Life Magazine为10至15岁孩子而设计可知，National Geographic Kids有年龄最小的读者。故选D项。 B At 3 a. m. in Seoul, 19-year-old university student Min-Ji turns on her webcam (网络摄像头), arranges textbooks under soft studio lighting, and joins 2,300 viewers worldwide in a silent digital library. What sounds like insomnia-driven (失眠驱动) behavior is actually part of a global phenomenon: live-streamed study sessions revolutionizing self-directed learning. Platforms like StudyStream report a 217% surge in users since 2020, with students broadcasting their study routines to hold themselves accountable. The trend mixes productivity culture with Gen Z’s (Z世代的) digital fluency, creating what psychologists call “peer-powered discipline.” Learners stream their study sessions, while viewers tune into share the experience, fostering a sense of collective motivation. StudyStream’s data reveals 78% of participants study 40+ minutes longer per session when live. “It’s like having study buddies (好哥们) worldwide cheering you on,” explains Canadian user Emily Torres, who improved her GPA from 2.8 to 3.4 using the method. Harvard education researcher Dr. Lila Chen notes the phenomenon taps into fundamental psychology: “Public commitment triggers the observer effect—we behave differently when watched, even virtually. It externalizes willpower.” Her team’s 2022 study found live-stream learners were 2. 3 times more likely to complete study goals than solo peers. Platforms are innovating rapidly. FocusBear integrates AI to flag distractions (e.g., phone usage) during streams. StudyWithMe. TV offers virtual “study halls” with timed Pomodoro breaks. TikTok’s StudyWithMe tag has garnered 8.9 billion views. Yet the trend faces criticism. “It risks replacing intrinsic motivation with performative studying,” warns Stanford psychologist Dr. Raj Patel. Some users report anxiety about viewer numbers, echoing social media’s metrics-driven stress. As universities take note — MIT now hosts official study streams — entrepreneurs see broader applications. StudyStream CEO Aisha Malik reveals plans for corporate versions: “We’re piloting streams for remote workers battling procrastination (拖延症).” For now, millions keep cameras on and books open. As Min-Ji signs off her 6-hour stream with a handwritten “Goodnight, study warriors!” in six languages, the chat explodes in heart emojis — a digital pact to continue tomorrow. 4. Why does the author mention the university student in paragraph1? A. To give a clear definition. B. To stress her self-discipline. C. To offer background information. D. To introduce the topic. 5. What mainly accounts for the effectiveness of live-stream study? A. Use of all distraction alerts. B. Creation of virtual classrooms. C. Motivation gained from peers. D. Reduced online anxiety. 6. What is a possible negative effect of live-stream studying? A. Loss of inner motivation. B. More focus on external look. C. Disconnection from friends. D. Increased delay in workplace. 7. What is the article mainly about? A. Technical advances in streaming. B. A new study trend boosting discipline. C. Classroom psychology of being watched. D. Social media anxiety problems. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了直播学习这种全球现象，它能培养集体动力，虽有争议但应用广泛，是促进自律的新学习趋势。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At 3 a.m. in Seoul, 19-year-old university student Min-Ji turns on her webcam (网络摄像头), arranges textbooks under soft studio lighting, and joins 2,300 viewers worldwide in a silent digital library. What sounds like insomnia-driven (失眠驱动) behavior is actually part of a global phenomenon: live-streamed study sessions revolutionizing self-directed learning. (凌晨3点，在首尔，19岁的大学生敏智打开她的网络摄像头，在柔和的摄影棚灯光下摆放好课本，和全球2300名观众一起进入一个无声的数字图书馆。听起来像是由失眠驱动的行为实际上是一个全球现象的一部分：直播学习课程彻底改变了自主学习)”可知，作者提到这位大学生是为了引出直播学习这一全球现象，即引出文章话题。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Learners stream their study sessions, while viewers tune into share the experience, fostering a sense of collective motivation. StudyStream’s data reveals 78% of participants study 40+ minutes longer per session when live. (学习者直播他们的学习过程，而观众则加入分享这一体验，从而培养了一种集体激励感。StudyStream的数据显示，78%的参与者在直播时每次学习时间延长40分钟以上)”以及““It’s like having study buddies (好哥们) worldwide cheering you on,” explains Canadian user Emily Torres, who improved her GPA from 2.8 to 3.4 using the method.(“这就像有全世界的学习好伙伴为你加油，”加拿大用户Emily Torres解释说，她通过这种方法将自己的平均绩点从2.8提高到了3.4)”可知，直播学习有效的主要原因是从同伴那里获得的激励。故选C 。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段““It risks replacing intrinsic motivation with performative studying,” warns Stanford psychologist Dr. Raj Patel. Some users report anxiety about viewer numbers, echoing social media’s metrics-driven stress.(斯坦福大学心理学家Raj Patel博士警告说：“这有可能用表演性学习取代内在动力。”。一些用户表示对观众人数感到焦虑，这与社交媒体的指标驱动的压力相呼应)”可知，直播学习可能产生的负面影响是失去内在动力。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇以大学生敏智参加直播学习为例，引出直播学习这一全球现象，接着介绍了直播学习平台用户数量激增、其有效性原因、平台的创新举措，同时也提到了该趋势面临的批评以及可能的负面影响，最后还提到该趋势在大学和企业中的应用，所以文章主要围绕一种促进自律的新学习趋势——直播学习展开。故选B。 C Human history is full of horse stories like guiding cowboys home on foggy nights and taking injured soldiers through battle zones. Such wise and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel, a computer scientist and roboticist, think of robots. “A horse that can take a rider home on its own would be the highest level of autonomy (自主),” Jatel says. “You trust them with your life.” She was inspired to learn how such relationships form and if it could help improve human-robot interactions. For a year, Jatel engaged herself in the horse world. She watched classes in horse training. and she also talked with students, instructors, trainers and horse owners. Along the way, Jatel even learned to ride. Horses learn signals from their trainers on how to comfortably interact with people. People, too, must learn their part. Riders must learn what a horse wants or feels based on its behavior, and what signals to use to direct horses to perform in desired ways. Jatel found some similarities, here, to working with robots. People must learn how to direct robots to do specific tasks. They also must learn what to do when robots don’t perform as planned. The goal is to program robots that will respond predictably to inputs from people. But like horses, autonomous robots also should be able to respond on their own as conditions change. For example, a self-driving car must stop to avoid hitting something, even if some human mistakenly tells it to keep going. Trainers and riders work with horses to build respect. Horses show that respect by matching their pace to a human or giving someone who is leading them a safe degree of personal space. Trainers begin their work with a horse by getting them to show signs of respect in basic interactions, Jatel says. Later, trainers will develop more complex interactions. Gradually, a horse’s respect can grow into trust. But that trust is not given. What would it mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other? For now, she adds, this is largely unknown field. But she’s looking to build a path. 8. What drew Elina Jatel’s attention to horses? A. Horse-human interdependence. B. Long history of horse training. C. Horses’ amazing performance. D. Her horse-riding experience. 9. What are the robots of autonomy designed to do? A. To perform tasks in a desired way. B. To comfortably interact with humans. C. To follow instructions from humans. D. To make independent and wise decisions. 10. What will Jatel’s future research most probably focus on? A. Functional limitations of robots. B. Trust between robots and humans. C. Path toward higher robot efficiency. D. Similarities between horses and robots. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lessons from History of Human-Horse Relationships B. Recipes for Harmonious Human-Animal Interactions C. The Vital Role of Trust in Human-Robot Partnerships D. Horses as the Inspiration for Human-Robot interactions 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了计算机科学家Elina Jatel受马的表现启发，研究人与机器人互动，探索机器人与人相互尊重信任的途径。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Human history is full of horse stories like guiding cowboys home on foggy nights and taking injured soldiers through battle zones. Such wise and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel, a computer scientist and roboticist, think of robots. (人类历史上充满了关于马的故事，比如在雾天引导牛仔回家，带着受伤的士兵穿越战区。如此聪明且训练有素的马让计算机科学家兼机器人专家Elina Jatel想到了机器人)”可知，是马的令人惊叹的表现吸引了Elina Jatel的注意。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The goal is to program robots that will respond predictably to inputs from people. But like horses, autonomous robots also should be able to respond on their own as conditions change. For example, a self-driving car must stop to avoid hitting something, even if some human mistakenly tells it to keep going. (目标是对机器人进行编程，使其能够对来自人类的输入做出可预测的反应。但就像马一样，自主机器人也应该能够随着条件的变化自行做出反应。例如，即使有人错误地让自动驾驶汽车继续前进，它也必须停下来以避免撞到东西)”可知，自主机器人被设计的目标是能够独立且明智地做出决定。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But that trust is not given. What would it mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other? For now, she adds, this is largely unknown field. But she’s looking to build a path. (但这种信任并没有被给予。机器人和人类相互尊重和信任意味着什么呢？她补充说，目前这在很大程度上是一个未知领域。但她正在寻找一条道路)”可推知，Jatel未来的研究很可能集中在机器人和人类之间的信任上。故选B。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Human history is full of horse stories like guiding cowboys home on foggy nights and taking injured soldiers through battle zones. Such wise and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel, a computer scientist and roboticist, think of robots. (人类历史上充满了关于马的故事，比如在雾天引导牛仔回家，带着受伤的士兵穿越战区。如此聪明且训练有素的马让计算机科学家兼机器人专家Elina Jatel想到了机器人)”、“She was inspired to learn how such relationships form and if it could help improve human-robot interactions.(她受到启发，学习了这种关系是如何形成的，以及它是否有助于改善人机交互)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了计算机科学家Elina Jatel从马与人类的关系中获得灵感，思考如何改善人与机器人之间的互动，所以“马成为人类与机器人互动的灵感来源”概括文章内容，适合作为文章标题。故选D。 D In the vast digital landscape, Google stands as a towering giant of innovation and creativity. Among its many offerings, one stands out for its ability to charm, educate, and celebrate the diversity of human culture-the Google Doodle (涂鸦). This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language. The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine. The first Google Doodle, created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man Festival, was the start of a tradition that has since become known for its creativity, diversity and user engagement. Each Google Doodle is a masterpiece, designed and published by any doodler online to bring out the certain theme every year. From paying respect to literary greats like Mark Twain and Dickens to marking key moments in worldwide history, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Google Doodles show the global influence of English and colorful cultural roots. One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression. Many Doodles include clever wordplay, literary quotes, and historical references, encouraging users to explore the events and celebrities more deeply. For example, a Doodle celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare might show famous quotes from his plays, inviting users to dive into the rich world of Elizabethan literature. In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. It serves as a bridge connecting the digital world with human emotions and memories, making every search a potential discovery of beauty and meaning. 12.

Mom had insisted I go with her to pick up Dad from work. Across from Dad’s office is a bike store. That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad. And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again. A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this?” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable. A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class? He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.” “I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. The guilt of keeping Tyler's bike hidden behind the garage weighed heavily on me. I couldn't enjoy having the bike while knowing that it rightfully belonged to someone else. I wanted to make things right. So I went to my mother and told her what had happened. My mother smiled and tapped me on the shoulder, gently saying, “I believe you have known what you should do to the bike.” “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” My heart raced with a mix of nervousness and determination. I walked up to knock the door. “Hey Tyler, I'm really sorry that I hid it and caused you trouble.” To my great surprise, he did not blame. What I saw was a smile slowly spread across his face. I knew exactly what that smile meant -- forgiveness for me. From that day on, the purple BMX Mongoose bike was no longer important to me. What mattered was the friendship I had formed with Tyler, which also taught me the important values like honesty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了11岁的作者一直梦想拥有一辆紫色自行车，但他的父母不同意买给他。后来，他偶然发现了一辆被遗弃的紫色自行车，偷偷把它藏了起来，这辆自行车其实属于另一个孩子Tyler。最后，作者向母亲坦白了实情，并决定归还自行车。Tyler原谅了他，并建立了真诚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学后，我回到家，拖着沉重的步子回到我的房间。”可知，第一段可描写作者回到家后把自己关在房间里，深感愧疚，并且主动向妈妈坦白了事实。 ②由第二段首句内容““我知道Tyler的家，”妈妈说。“我开车送你去。””可知，第二段可描写作者主动跟Tyler道歉，得到了Tyler的原谅，作者如释重负，并且和Tyler成为朋友，以及作者最终的领悟。 2.续写线索： 深感愧疚——告知真相——归还车子——道歉——原谅——成为朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重压：weigh on sb/press on sb ②.拍：tap/pat ③.绽开笑容：a smile spread across one’s face/a smile shines on one’s face 情绪类 ①.愧疚/羞愧：guilt/shame ②.惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B At 3 a. m. in Seoul, 19-year-old university student Min-Ji turns on her webcam (网络摄像头), arranges textbooks under soft studio lighting, and joins 2,300 viewers worldwide in a silent digital library. What sounds like insomnia-driven (失眠驱动) behavior is actually part of a global phenomenon: live-streamed study sessions revolutionizing self-directed learning. Platforms like StudyStream report a 217% surge in users since 2020, with students broadcasting their study routines to hold themselves accountable. The trend mixes productivity culture with Gen Z’s (Z世代的) digital fluency, creating what psychologists call “peer-powered discipline.” Learners stream their study sessions, while viewers tune into share the experience, fostering a sense of collective motivation. StudyStream’s data reveals 78% of participants study 40+ minutes longer per session when live. “It’s like having study buddies (好哥们) worldwide cheering you on,” explains Canadian user Emily Torres, who improved her GPA from 2.8 to 3.4 using the method. Harvard education researcher Dr. Lila Chen notes the phenomenon taps into fundamental psychology: “Public commitment triggers the observer effect—we behave differently when watched, even virtually. It externalizes willpower.” Her team’s 2022 study found live-stream learners were 2. 3 times more likely to complete study goals than solo peers. Platforms are innovating rapidly. FocusBear integrates AI to flag distractions (e.g., phone usage) during streams. StudyWithMe. TV offers virtual “study halls” with timed Pomodoro breaks. TikTok’s StudyWithMe tag has garnered 8.9 billion views. Yet the trend faces criticism. “It risks replacing intrinsic motivation with performative studying,” warns Stanford psychologist Dr. Raj Patel. Some users report anxiety about viewer numbers, echoing social media’s metrics-driven stress.

C Human history is full of horse stories like guiding cowboys home on foggy nights and taking injured soldiers through battle zones. Such wise and highly trained horses made Elina Jatel, a computer scientist and roboticist, think of robots. “A horse that can take a rider home on its own would be the highest level of autonomy (自主),” Jatel says. “You trust them with your life.” She was inspired to learn how such relationships form and if it could help improve human-robot interactions. For a year, Jatel engaged herself in the horse world. She watched classes in horse training. and she also talked with students, instructors, trainers and horse owners. Along the way, Jatel even learned to ride. Horses learn signals from their trainers on how to comfortably interact with people. People, too, must learn their part. Riders must learn what a horse wants or feels based on its behavior, and what signals to use to direct horses to perform in desired ways. Jatel found some similarities, here, to working with robots. People must learn how to direct robots to do specific tasks. They also must learn what to do when robots don’t perform as planned. The goal is to program robots that will respond predictably to inputs from people. But like horses, autonomous robots also should be able to respond on their own as conditions change. For example, a self-driving car must stop to avoid hitting something, even if some human mistakenly tells it to keep going. Trainers and riders work with horses to build respect. Horses show that respect by matching their pace to a human or giving someone who is leading them a safe degree of personal space. Trainers begin their work with a horse by getting them to show signs of respect in basic interactions, Jatel says. Later, trainers will develop more complex interactions. Gradually, a horse’s respect can grow into trust. But that trust is not given. What would it mean for robots and people to respect and trust each other? For now, she adds, this is largely unknown field. But she’s looking to build a path. 8. What drew Elina Jatel’s attention to horses? A. Horse-human interdependence. B. Long history of horse training. C. Horses’ amazing performance. D. Her horse-riding experience. 9. What are the robots of autonomy designed to do? A. To perform tasks in a desired way. B. To comfortably interact with humans. C. To follow instructions from humans. D. To make independent and wise decisions. 10 What will Jatel’s future research most probably focus on? A. Functional limitations of robots. B. Trust between robots and humans. C. Path toward higher robot efficiency. D. Similarities between horses and robots. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Lessons from History of Human-Horse Relationships B. Recipes for Harmonious Human-Animal Interactions C. The Vital Role of Trust in Human-Robot Partnerships D. Horses as the Inspiration for Human-Robot interactions D In the vast digital landscape, Google stands as a towering giant of innovation and creativity. Among its many offerings, one stands out for its ability to charm, educate, and celebrate the diversity of human culture-the Google Doodle (涂鸦). This artistic project, which has evolved from simple still images to animated pictures, interactive games, and short videos, has turned the usual act of searching the internet into an enjoyable journey through history, culture, and, importantly, the English language. The idea of Google Doodle began in the late 1990s, when the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, wanted to add a touch of fun and personality to their search engine. The first Google Doodle, created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man Festival, was the start of a tradition that has since become known for its creativity, diversity and user engagement. Each Google Doodle is a masterpiece, designed and published by any doodler online to bring out the certain theme every year. From paying respect to literary greats like Mark Twain and Dickens to marking key moments in worldwide history, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Google Doodles show the global influence of English and colorful cultural roots. One of the most amazing things about Google Doodle is its ability to mix the English language with artistic expression. Many Doodles include clever wordplay literary quotes, and historical references, encouraging users to explore the events and celebrities more deeply. For example, a Doodle celebrating the life and works of William Shakespeare might show famous quotes from his plays, inviting users to dive into the rich world of Elizabethan literature. In conclusion, Google Doodle is more than just a visual delight. Through its charming designs and interactive features, it invites us to explore, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse traditions that have shaped our shared human heritage. It serves as a bridge connecting the digital world with human emotions and memories, making every search a potential discovery of beauty and meaning. 12.

Mom had insisted I go with her to pick up Dad from work. Across from Dad’s office is a bike store. That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad. And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again. A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this?” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable. A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class? He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.” “I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
