B I had wanted to be a cellist(大提琴手)for as long as I could remember..At fifteen,I won a scholarship to a specialist music school.I got up early,practised at lunchtime and retumned to my cello(大提琴)after lessons. One evening,while practicing a demanding piece,I pushed myself too far.I felt a buming pain between my wrist and elbow.When it hadn't got better after a day or two,I started to panic.Days became weeks.Weeks tumned into months.Opportunities for concerts and competitions came and went. When I wasn't sitting with my instrument,I was punishing myself for my stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it But now it was too late. Over two years,I gradually recovered.I was able to play some early music such as Handel and Bach,on a baroque cello,as the movements are gentler and lighter.However, the possibility of my arm letting me down has never left me. The turning point came,unexpectedly,during a photoshoot for an up-to-date picture. The photographer suggested I get my cello and see what images of playing might look like. I hesitated first,and then I sat playing snatches (of Bach.At that moment,the lens pointing at my instrument and me,I began to understand something I had only half sensed until then.Away from my cello,my shadow was missing.Without it I felt incomplete.But with my instrument I was protected and entirely happy in my own skin. During that photoshoot I realised I needed to find out what the cello,and its absence, had meant to other cellists,to understand what it meant to me.So I planned a joumey across Europe.I encountered cellos destroyed by war and shipwreck,and I even played with a resourceful cellist,who,having lost the use of his right thumb,ties his bow onto his hand with a bicycle inner tube. Over the course of my travels,I leamed I was not alone.Besides,my experience might help others.I am also beginning to look for ways to retumn to the repertoire ()1 loved.Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations,I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing. 24.What happened to the author after her injury? A.She tried an alternative career path. B.She played Bach to impress the audience. C.She secured the performing opportunities. D.She blamed herself for practicing too hard. ☆图人：英功学科中心则 使川01间：2026年6刀 25.Why was the photoshoot experience a tuming point for the nuthor? A.Because it improved her professional image. B.Because it deepened her connection to the cello. C.Because it showed her constant efforts paid off. D,Becanse it allowed her to meet incredible cellists. 26.What did the author leamn from her travels in Europe? A.Willpower alone could heal physical injurics. B.The cello's symbolic value surpassed its function. C.Her struggle was not alone and part of her identity. D.Baroque music was the only way to regain skill. 27.What can we learn from the passage? A.Fortune favors the bold. B.Constnnt dripping wears the stone. C.Good things come to those who wait. D.When given lemons,make lemonade. C Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean cnergy:As populations of crucial pollinators (decline,developers have been sceding the grounds of their solar arrays (with native wildflowers.Now a five-year study published in Environmental Research Letters,confirms that this approach boosts the pollinators' abundance and diversity-with numerous benefits for farms nearby. From 2018 through 2022,Argonne National Laboratory landscape ecologist Leroy J. Walston and his colleagues regularly visited two such arrays covering hectares (each in souther Minnesota.The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees,beetles,butterflics,moths,and more had increased on-site-even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U.S. Humans'pesticide use,greonhouse gas emissions and habitat destruction have caused mass pollinator die-offs.Monarch butterfly numbers,for example,have decreased by 80 percent nationwide in the past two decades,and according to the Center for Biological Diversity's 2017 report,nearly one in four native bee species is endangered and at increasing risk of extinction.Further big losses would be disastrous for ecosystems and agriculture:75 percent of North American plant species rely on pollinators. The federal goverment's energy goals require several million hectares for solar energy,with more than 80 percent of the projects planned for former agricultural land; seeding it this way could help save endangered pollinators.During their study,Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake (flower, goldenrod (bloomed around the arrays.As other flowers bloomed,a symphony of insects appeared.Native bees saw the most stunning growth,with their population 5 命的人，英M学科中心灿 使川时间！2025年6刀月 increasing 20 times by the study's end.Monarch butterflies also increased in number apd waved their dotted wings ncross the sites.Twice as many bees visited soybean fields close to the solar sites as fields farther away,making the nearby plots'gains comparable to those of neighboring land enrolled in conservntion programs. The approach's.poteney in other parts of the country-such as the desert Southwest -remains to be seen.Nevertheless,as Walston says,at least in the Midwest,"if you plant it,ycah,they'll come." 28.What docs the 5-year study focus on? A.The number of pollinators. B.The influence of solar panels on insects. C.The effect of wildBower seeding project. D.The explontatron or alterative clean energy. 29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.Native bee specics are in danger of dying out. B.Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate, C.Northemn American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D The govemment is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 30.Why does the author mention goldenrod soldier beetles in paragraph 4? A.To highlight the ecological crisis. B.To illustrate a mutually beneficial relationship. C.To indicate the outcome of wildflower planting. D.To prove the success of conservation programs. 31.What docs the underlined word"potency"in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A.Effectiveness. B.Limitation. C.Attraction. D.Risk. D Nowadays,people are increasingly interacting with others in social media environments where algorithms control the flow of social informatien they.sac People's intcractions with online algorithms may affect how they learn from others.wth negative consequences including social misperceptions,conflict and the spread of misinformation. On social media platforms,algorithms are'mainly designed to increase information that sustains engagement,meaning they keep people clicking on content and coming back to the platforms.There is evidence suggesting that a side effect of this design is that algorithms increase information people are strongly biased (to learn from.We call this information“PRME”,for prestigious(有白望的)，in-group,moral and emotional information. In our evolutionary past,biases to leam from PRIME information were very advantageous:learning from renowned individuals is efficient because these people are 6 命题人：英奶学H中心切 使川时向，2025年5月 successful and their behavior can be copied.Paying attention to pcople who violate ( moral critcria is important because punishing them helps the community maintain coopcration.But what happens when PRIME information becomes increased by algorithms and some people take advantoge of algorithm expansion to promote themselves? Reputation becomes a poor signal of success because pcople can fake reputation on social medin.News become filled with negative and moral information so that there is conflict rather than cooperation. The interaction of human psychology and algorithm expansion leads to disfunction because social lcamning supports cooperation and problem-solving,but social media algorithms are designed to increase engagement.We call it functional mismatch.One of the key outcomes of functional mismatch is that people start to form incorrect perceptions of their social world,which often occurs in the field of politics.Recent research suggests that when algorithms selectively expand more extreme political views,pcople begin to think that their political in-group and out-group are more sharply divided than they really are.Such"falsc polarization"might be an important source of greater political confudt. So what's next?A key question is what can be done to make algorithms facilitate accurate human social learning rather than explont soci:l learning biases.Some research tcam is working on new algorithm designs that increase engagement while also punishing PRIME information.This may maintain user activity that social media platforms seek,but also make people's social perceptions more accurate. 32.What are social media uigorithms targeted at? A.Improving social environment. B.Generating PRIME information. C.Avoiding side effects of social media.D.Raising the media platform click rate 33.Why does the author refer to "false polarization"in paragraph 4? A.To make an assumption. B.To illustrate a conclusion. C.To explain a political issue. D.To present an extreme case. 34.What is the purpose of new algorithm designs? A.To boost engagement and regulate expansion. B.To strengthen social learning and delete biases. C.To identify biases and punish PRIME information. D.To monitor media platforms and guarantee users'privacy. 35.What is the best title of the text? A.PRIME information meets with misperceptions B.Algorithms control the flow of social information C.Social media algorithms twist human social learing D.Online algorithm designs face unexpected challenges 题人：英诏学科中心加 使用时阿，2025年百月 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住选项，选项中有刚项为 多余选项。 You have to make a speech.You have done your research and now have plenty of ideas bouncing around in your head that you want to get across.The big question you faco at this point is how to organize those thoughts.30 You need to brainstorm somo supporting ideas and then figure out how those ideas fit together. These are just two cases that many people deal with frequently.Some use outlining to flesh out and organize their ideas,but is that the best strategy? 38 This structure is designed to help you remember information because its format is easy for your mind to remember.More than 250 million people worldwide use them,so why don't you have a try and see what they are all nbout? What is a mind map?Simply put,it is one's ideas put into the form of a visual diagram that starts with a central idea.Put this idea in a bubble in the middle of a poge with lines radiating out to other bubbles that contain related themes or concepts.39 Use words,short phrases or images to express your ideas.And use color-coded bubbles for a visunl representation of each branch's connection. Studics have shown that this tcchnique of using pictures,colors and visual arrangement has improved people's recall and memory of information by 10%to 15%. 40Creativity is aroused because of the spatial arrangement,enabling people to make more links and associations on topics of any kind.Additionally,it increases one's productivity because mind mapping makes it easier to leamn faster. So whether you're in charge of a project or writing a research paper,make this technique a core part of your planning process! A But it doesn't stop there. B.Itshould look like a many-legged spider. C.This is a common problem that many people face. D.It has proven to increase not only productivity and creativity but also memory. E.Or perhaps you are planning to write a paper,and all you have is the main topic. F.Enter mind mapping that shows how different ideas and facts relate to one another. G.If everyone thought in a linear manner,the answer would be yes,but most people don't. 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I5分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项， 命3人：英语学科中心组 使用时间：2025年5月 My husband AJ started running to lose weight,focusing on the twenty-five pounds he'd put on since we married.I fully 41 him doing what he needed to do to feel good.Therefore,we signed up for the New York 5K race together.
