At fifteen, I won a scholarship to a specialist music school. I got up early, practised at lunchtime and returned to my cello (大提琴) after lessons. One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning 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 turned 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 (片段) 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 journey 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 learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing. 4. 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. 5. Why was the photoshoot experience a turning point for the author? 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. Because it allowed her to meet incredible cellists. 6. What did the author learn from her travels in Europe? A. Willpower alone could heal physical injuries. 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. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Fortune favors the bold. B. Constant dripping wears the stone. C. Good things come to those who wait. D. When given lemons, make lemonade. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为大提琴手受伤后的心路历程与重新找回自我的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning pain between my wrist and elbow. When it hadn’t got better after a day or two, I started to panic. (一天晚上，在练习一首要求很高的曲子时，我把自己逼得太狠了。我感到手腕和肘部之间有灼热感。一两天后，情况没有好转，我开始恐慌)”以及第三段“When I wasn’t sitting with my instrument, I was punishing myself for my own stupidity. My technique had probably not been secure enough for the demands I was placing on it. But now it was too late.(当我没有坐在我的乐器前时，我就会因自己的愚蠢而自责。我的技巧可能还不够扎实，无法满足我对它提出的要求。但现在为时已晚)”可知，受伤后，作者责怪自己练习太刻苦。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“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.(就在那一刻，镜头对准了我的乐器和我，我开始理解一些之前只是隐约感觉到的事情。离开了大提琴，我的影子似乎不见了。没有它，我感到不完整。但有了我的乐器，我感到被保护，并且完全自在)”可推知，这次拍摄经历对作者来说是一个转折点，因为它加深了作者与大提琴的联系。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“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.(我遇到了因战争和海难损毁的大提琴，甚至与一位足智多谋的大提琴手合奏 —— 他因失去右手拇指，用自行车内胎将琴弓绑在手上)”以及最后一段“Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing(在我的旅行过程中，我了解到我并不孤单。此外，我的经历可能会帮助其他人。我也开始寻找回到我热爱的曲目的方法。在一群处境相似的音乐家的支持下，我现在把每一场音乐会都视为迈向治愈的一步)”可推知，作者在旅行中明白自己的挣扎是群体经历的一部分，且成为身份的一部分。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文及最后一段“Over the course of my travels, I learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing.(在我的旅行过程中，我了解到我并不孤单。此外，我的经历可能会帮助其他人。我也开始寻找回到我热爱的曲目的方法。在一群处境相似的音乐家的支持下，我现在把每一场音乐会都视为迈向治愈的一步)”可知，短文讲述了作者作为大提琴手受伤后的心路历程与重新找回自我的故事。由此推知，作者的经历告诉我们“当生活给你柠檬时，你要做柠檬汁”，即面对困境时要积极应对，寻找出路。故选D。 C Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean energy: As populations of crucial pollinators (授粉昆虫) decline, developers have been seeding the grounds of their solar arrays (阵列) 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 (公顷) each in southern Minnesota. The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, and more had increased on-site - even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U. S. Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse 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 government’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 (同名物) flower, goldenrod (金麒麟草) bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed, a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and waved their dotted wings across 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 conservation programs. The approach’s potency 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, yeah, they’ll come.” 8. What does the 5-year study focus on? A. The number of pollinators. B. The influence of solar panels on insects. C. The effect of wildflower seeding project. D. The exploitation of alternative clean energy. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Native bee species are in danger of dying out. B. Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate. C. Northern American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D. The government is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 10. 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. 11. What does the underlined word “potency” in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. Effectiveness. B. Limitation. C. Attraction. D. Risk. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项为期五年的研究，该研究发现，在太阳能电池板阵列周围播种本土野花可以增加授粉昆虫的数量和多样性，为附近的农场带来诸多益处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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. (现在，一项发表在《环境研究快报》上的为期五年的研究证实，这种方法增加了授粉昆虫的数量和多样性，为附近的农场带来了诸多好处。)”可知，这项为期五年的研究关注的是播种本土野花项目对授粉昆虫的影响。故选C项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse 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. (人类使用杀虫剂、排放温室气体和破坏栖息地导致了授粉昆虫的大量死亡。例如，在过去20年里，黑脉金斑蝶的数量在全国范围内减少了80%。根据生物多样性中心2017年的报告，近四分之一的本土蜜蜂物种濒临灭绝，灭绝风险不断增加。更大的损失将对生态系统和农业造成灾难性影响：75%的北美植物物种依赖授粉昆虫。)”可知，第三段主要讲述的是授粉昆虫的数量正在以惊人的速度减少。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“During their study, Walston and his team watched goldenrod soldier beetles boom as their namesake (同名物) flower, goldenrod (金麒麟草) bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed, a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and waved their dotted wings across the sites. (在研究期间，沃尔斯顿和他的团队观察到，随着同名的金麒麟草在太阳能电池板阵列周围开花，金麒麟草瓢虫的数量激增。随着其他花朵的盛开，昆虫交响乐出现了。本土蜜蜂的数量增长最为惊人，到研究结束时，它们的数量增加了20倍。黑脉金斑蝶的数量也有所增加，它们在研究地点挥舞着带有斑点的翅膀。)”可推知，作者在第四段提到金麒麟草瓢虫是为了表明野花种植的结果。故选C项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Nevertheless, as Walston says, at least in the Midwest, “if you plant it, yeah, they’ll come.”(不过，正如沃尔顿所说，至少在中西部地区，“只要你播种，它们就会来。”)”可知，这种方法在中西部有效果，划线词所在的句子与下文形成转折关系，这种方法在该国其他地区（如西南部沙漠地区）的效果仍有待观察，故potency在此处意为“效果，效力”。故选A项。 D Nowadays, people are increasingly interacting with others in social media environments where algorithms control the flow of social information they see. People’s interactions with online algorithms may affect how they learn from others, with negative consequences including social misperceptions, conflict and the spread of misinformation. On social media platforms, algorithms are mainly designed to amplify (放大) 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 amplify information people are strongly biased (偏向的) to learn from. We call this information “PRIME”, for prestigious, in-group, moral and emotional information. In our evolutionary past, biases to learn from PRIME information were very advantageous: Learning from prestigious individuals is efficient because these people are successful and their behavior can be copied. Paying attention to people who violate moral norms is important because punishing them helps the community maintain cooperation. But what happens when PRIME information becomes amplified by algorithms and some people exploit (利用) algorithm amplification to promote themselves? Prestige becomes a poor signal of success because people can fake prestige on social media. News become filled with negative and moral information so that there is conflict rather than cooperation. The interaction of human psychology and algorithm amplification leads to disfunction because social learning 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 amplify more extreme political views, people begin to think that their political in-group and out-group are more sharply divided than they really are. Such “false polarization” might be an important source of greater political conflict. So what’s next? A key question is what can be done to make algorithms facilitate accurate human social learning rather than exploit social learning biases. Some research team 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. 12. What are social media algorithms targeted at? A. Improving social environment. B. Generating PRIME information. C. Avoiding side effects of social media. D. Raising the media platform click rate. 13. 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. 14. According to the author, algorithms will be improved so as to ________. A. boost engagement and regulate amplification B. strengthen social learning and delete biases C. identify biases and punish PRIME information D. monitor media platforms and guarantee users’ privacy 15. 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 learning D. Online algorithm designs face unexpected challenges 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了社交媒体的算法影响了人类的社交，一些人利用算法放大来推销自己，新闻充斥着负面和道德信息，因此存在冲突而不是合作。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“On social media platforms, algorithms are mainly designed to amplify (放大) information that sustains engagement, meaning they keep people clicking on content and coming back to the platforms.(在社交媒体平台上，算法的主要目的是放大维持用户粘性的信息，这意味着它们会让人们点击内容并回到平台上)”可知，社交媒体算法的目标是提高媒体平台点击率。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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 amplify more extreme political views, people begin to think that their political in-group and out-group are more sharply divided than they really are. Such “false polarization” might be an important source of greater political conflict.(功能不匹配的一个关键结果是人们开始对他们的社会世界形成错误的认知，这种情况经常发生在政治领域。最近的研究表明，当算法有选择地放大更极端的政治观点时，人们开始认为他们的政治内部群体和外部群体的分歧比实际情况更严重。这种“虚假两极分化”可能是更大政治冲突的一个重要来源)”可推知，作者在第4段提到“虚假极化”是为了说明结论。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some research team 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.(一些研究团队正在研究新的算法设计，以增加用户粘性，同时惩罚PRIME信息。这可能会维持社交媒体平台所寻求的用户活动，但也会使人们的社会认知更加准确)”可知，算法将得到改进，以提高参与度和调节放大。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nowadays, people are increasingly interacting with others in social media environments where algorithms control the flow of social information they see. People’s interactions with online algorithms may affect how they learn from others, with negative consequences including social misperceptions, conflict and the spread of misinformation.(如今，人们越来越多地在社交媒体环境中与他人互动，算法控制着他们看到的社交信息流。人们与在线算法的互动可能会影响他们向他人学习的方式，带来负面后果，包括社会误解、冲突和错误信息的传播)”结合文章主要说明了社交媒体的算法影响了人类的社交，一些人利用算法放大来推销自己，新闻充斥着负面和道德信息，因此存在冲突而不是合作。故C选项“社交媒体算法扭曲了人类的社交学习”最符合文章标题。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。 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 face at this point is how to organize those thoughts. ___16___ You need to brainstorm some 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? ___17___ ___18___ This two-dimensional 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 about? 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 page with lines radiating out to other bubbles that contain related themes or concepts. ___19___ Use words, short phrases or images to express your ideas. And use color-coded bubbles for a visual representation of each branch’s connection. Studies have shown that this technique of using pictures, colors and visual arrangement has improved people’s recall and memory of information by 10 to 15 percent. ___20___ Creativity 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 learn 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. It should 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. If everyone thought in a linear manner, then the answer would be yes, but most people don’t. G. Enter mind mapping, a technique that shows how different ideas and facts relate to one another. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍人们组织想法常遇难题，探讨大纲策略优劣后引入思维导图，阐述其构建方式及助记忆、提创造力与生产力的作用。 【16题详解】 由上文“The big question you face at this point is how to organize those thoughts. (此时你面临的大问题是如何组织这些想法。)”可知，这里强调面临如何组织想法的问题，而E项“Or perhaps you are planning to write a paper, and all you have is the main topic. (或者也许你正计划写一篇论文，而你所拥有的只是主题。) ”进一步列举了另一种类似的情况，即写论文时只有主题，同样面临组织想法的问题，与上文形成并列，有补充说明的作用。故选E项。 【17题详解】 由上文“Some use outlining to flesh out and organize their ideas, but is that the best strategy? (有些人用大纲来充实和组织他们的想法，但这是最好的策略吗？)”可知，这里提出大纲是否是最佳策略的疑问，而F项“If everyone thought in a linear manner, then the answer would be yes, but most people don’t. (如果每个人都以线性方式思考，那么答案会是肯定的，但大多数人不是。) ”对上文提出的问题进行了回应，解释了大纲并非对所有人来说都是最佳策略的原因，与上文的疑问相呼应。故选F项。 【18题详解】 由下文“This two-dimensional 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 about? (这种二维结构旨在帮助你记住信息，因为它的格式很容易被你的大脑记住。全球有超过2.5亿人在使用它们，所以为什么不试试，看看它们到底是什么呢？)”可知，下文介绍了一种帮助记忆信息的二维结构。而G项“Enter mind mapping, a technique that shows how different ideas and facts relate to one another. (来了解思维导图，这是一种展示不同想法和事实如何相互关联的技术。)”引出了思维导图这一概念，正是下文所描述的内容，起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Put this idea in a bubble in the middle of a page with lines radiating out to other bubbles that contain related themes or concepts. (把这个想法放在页面中间一个气泡里，用线条向外辐射到其他包含相关主题或概念的气泡上。)”可知，这里描述了思维导图的构建方式，而B项“It should look like a many-legged spider. (它应该看起来像一只多腿的蜘蛛。)”形象地描述了按照上文方式构建出来的思维导图的样子，与上文对思维导图构建的描述相呼应。故选B项。 【20题详解】 由上文“Studies have shown that this technique of using pictures, colors and visual arrangement has improved people’s recall and memory of information by 10 to 15 percent. (研究表明，这种使用图片、颜色和视觉排列的技术使人们对信息的回忆和记忆提高了 10% 到 15%。)”可知，这里阐述了思维导图对记忆的作用。而A项“But it doesn’t stop there.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。 2.续写线索：上传新视频（介绍视频内容）→视频引发热烈反响（网友评论、分享）→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚（拥抱、对话）→两人共同设计椅子（描述设计过程）→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入，工作室重焕生机 。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find ②放置：place/put ③拥抱：embrace/hug ④开始：begin/start 情绪类 赞扬：praise/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.

At fifteen, I won a scholarship to a specialist music school. I got up early, practised at lunchtime and returned to my cello (大提琴) after lessons. One evening, while practicing a demanding piece, I pushed myself too far. I felt a burning 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 turned 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 (片段) 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 journey 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 learned I was not alone. Besides, my experience might help others. I am also beginning to look for ways to return to the repertoire (曲目) I loved. Supported by a community of musicians in similar situations, I now celebrate every concert as a step towards healing. 4. 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. 5.

When given lemons, make lemonade. C Vast plains of solar panels can help nature more than clean energy: As populations of crucial pollinators (授粉昆虫) decline, developers have been seeding the grounds of their solar arrays (阵列) 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 (公顷) each in southern Minnesota. The scientists recorded the number and kinds of pollinators the wildflowers attracted and found populations of bees, beetles, butterflies, moths, and more had increased on-site - even as they continued declining elsewhere in the U. S. Humans’ pesticide use, greenhouse 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 government’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 (同名物) flower, goldenrod (金麒麟草) bloomed around the arrays. As other flowers bloomed, a symphony of insects appeared. Native bees saw the most stunning growth, with their population increasing 20 times by the study’s end. Monarch butterflies also increased in number and waved their dotted wings across 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 conservation programs. The approach’s potency 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, yeah, they’ll come.” 8. What does the 5-year study focus on? A. The number of pollinators. B. The influence of solar panels on insects. C. The effect of wildflower seeding project. D. The exploitation of alternative clean energy. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Native bee species are in danger of dying out. B. Pollinator populations are decreasing at an alarming rate. C. Northern American agriculture falls victim to solar panels. D. The government is taking measures to meet the demands for solar energy. 10. 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. 11. What does 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 information they see. People’s interactions with online algorithms may affect how they learn from others, with negative consequences including social misperceptions, conflict and the spread of misinformation. On social media platforms, algorithms are mainly designed to amplify (放大) 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 amplify information people are strongly biased (偏向的) to learn from. We call this information “PRIME”, for prestigious, in-group, moral and emotional information. In our evolutionary past, biases to learn from PRIME information were very advantageous: Learning from prestigious individuals is efficient because these people are successful and their behavior can be copied. Paying attention to people who violate moral norms is important because punishing them helps the community maintain cooperation. But what happens when PRIME information becomes amplified by algorithms and some people exploit (利用) algorithm amplification to promote themselves? Prestige becomes a poor signal of success because people can fake prestige on social media. News become filled with negative and moral information so that there is conflict rather than cooperation. The interaction of human psychology and algorithm amplification leads to disfunction because social learning 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 amplify more extreme political views, people begin to think that their political in-group and out-group are more sharply divided than they really are. Such “false polarization” might be an important source of greater political conflict. So what’s next? A key question is what can be done to make algorithms facilitate accurate human social learning rather than exploit social learning biases. Some research team 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. 12. What are social media algorithms targeted at? A. Improving social environment. B. Generating PRIME information. C. Avoiding side effects of social media. D. Raising the media platform click rate. 13. 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. 14. According to the author, algorithms will be improved so as to ________. A. boost engagement and regulate amplification B. strengthen social learning and delete biases C. identify biases and punish PRIME information D. monitor media platforms and guarantee users’ privacy 15. 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 learning D. Online algorithm designs face unexpected challenges 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。 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 face at this point is how to organize those thoughts. ___16___ You need to brainstorm some 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? ___17___ ___18___ This two-dimensional 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 about? 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 page with lines radiating out to other bubbles that contain related themes or concepts. ___19___ Use words, short phrases or images to express your ideas. And use color-coded bubbles for a visual representation of each branch’s connection. Studies have shown that this technique of using pictures, colors and visual arrangement has improved people’s recall and memory of information by 10 to 15 percent. ___20___ Creativity 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 learn 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. It should 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. If everyone thought in a linear manner, then the answer would be yes, but most people don’t. G. Enter mind mapping, a technique that shows how different ideas and facts relate to one another. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 My husband AJ started running to lose weight, focusing on the twenty-five pounds he’d put on since we married.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
