B Deep in the remote floodplain of Angola’s Kwando River, Kerllen Costa and his team were desperately searching for a campsite when they spotted an elder alone on a small island. As they approached, the elder questioned him, “Why were the people with you watching river birds with their telescopes?” When he explained they were a team of scientists on an expedition(考察), the elder told him, “If you only look at the bird, you won’t be able to understand how the bird communicates with the tree and how the bird interacts with the water.” Costa asked him how he knew this and the elder replied, “Well, because how would you know what’s in a landscape — what’s its story — if there’re no people in it? It’s only the people that bring history to it.” This has guided Costa’s work at the rivers of the Angolan Highlands Water Tower: building relationships of trust with local communities. Local communities have developed lifestyles over generations that protect and respect their homeland. Understanding what it means to protect these environments, means meeting, listening, and knowing the people who live there. So Costa often spends nights in villages listening to local elders share their beliefs on existence and has spent weeks going through remote parts of the forest with local hunters. “There were several different moments when the local people were saying, ‘Listen, you and your scientists, you might say this, but we know for sure it’s this for a reason,’” says Costa. The human approach Costa puts at the helm(舵轮)of his team’s efforts is a big step forward in the world of conservation. “That can shock some of the more conservative ways of thinking in terms of conservation. And there still is that difficulty to try and understand we shouldn’t create a national park. Why not allow people to still wander and use the systems that they already used for the last five generations? I really feel success should be people being able to still manage their own natural heritage and still living according to their traditions,” Costa stresses. 4. What can we learn from the elder’s words in paragraph 2? A. A landscape with people has a soul. B. The area has rich resources of history. C. The local ecosystem is being destroyed. D. The telescopes disturb the birds too much. 5. What’s the key to Costa’s job? A. Sharpening the expedition skills. B. Following the principles of nature. C. Having a close bond with the locals. D. Taking field trips with a good hunter. 6. What is Costa’s attitude towards setting up à national park? A. Indifferent. B. Confident. C. Conservative. D. Disapproval. 7. Which of the following can best describe Costa? A. Determined and generous. B. Demanding and honest. C. Insightful and considerate. D. Flexible and talkative. C A new University of Michigan-led international study finds that fruits and vegetables grown in urban farms and gardens have a carbon footprint that is, on average, greater than conventionally grown produce. Urban agriculture(UA)is becoming increasingly popular worldwide as a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture. However, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of UA — such as vertical farms and rooftop greenhouses. The study used data from 73 urban farms and gardens in five countries and three types of urban agriculture sites were analyzed: urban farms, individual gardens, and collective gardens. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites in France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States were recruited(招募)as citizen scientists and used daily diary entries to record inputs and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout a whole year. On average, food produced through urban agriculture gave off 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents(等量物)per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kilograms carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of conventionally grown produce. Inputs to the urban agriculture sites fell into three main categories: infrastructure(such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots), supplies(including fertilizer and weed-blocking fabric), and irrigation water. “Most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the materials used to construct them,” said study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein. “These farms typically only operate for a few years or a decade, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, on the other hand, is very efficient and hard to compete with.” However, in a survey conducted for the study, the researchers identified a practice crucial to making low-tech urban agriculture more competitive — UA farmers and gardeners dominantly reported improved mental health, diet, and social networks. While increasing these “nonfood outputs” of UA does not reduce its carbon footprint, “growing spaces which maximize social benefits can outcompete conventional agriculture,” according to the study authors. 8. Which aspect of UA was underestimated in the past? A. Its global scale. B. Its carbon footprint. C. Its special form. D. Its environmental benefit. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The upside of urban agriculture. B. The way the study was carried out. C. The types of urban agriculture sites. D. The role the farmers involved play. 10. What might make UA more competitive according to Benjamin Goldstein? A. Extending the lifetimes of UA infrastructure. B. Improving the water supply for UA irrigation. C. Guaranteeing the source of data collected. D. Giving a second life to conventional farms. 11. Which of the following would the study authors agree with? A. Urban farming is still worth people’s efforts. B. Citizens will turn to conventional agriculture. C. Nonfood outputs of urban agriculture are illogical. D. Rooftop farms produce more carbon than gardens. D For over a decade, scientist Peter Turchin has worked to create a database of human history—Seshat: the Global History Databank. Recently, Turchin and computer scientist Maria del Rio-Chanona turned their attention to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, questioning whether these advanced models could aid historians and archaeologists (考古学家) in interpreting the past. Large language models (LLMs) , such as ChatGPT, have been hugely successful in some fields. Using Seshat as a benchmark (基准), researchers tested LLMs on questions requiring graduate or expert-level knowledge. “A key component of our benchmark is that we not only test whether these LLMs can identify correct facts, but also ask whether a fact can be proven or inferred from indirect evidence,” Turchin said. The study revealed that OpenAI models like GPT-4 performed better for regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, while Llama models excelled in Northern America. However, both systems underperformed in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Llama also showing weaker results for Oceania. LLMs demonstrated greater accuracy when addressing questions about ancient history, particularly between 8,000 BCE and 3,000 BCE, but struggled with more recent events, especially from 1,500 CE to the present. LLMs performed best on questions related to legal systems and social complexity, but they struggled significantly with topics such as discrimination and social mobility. “I thought the AI chatbots would do a lot better” said Hauser, corresponding author of the study. “History is often viewed as facts, but sometimes interpretation is necessary to make sense of it. They’re great for basic facts, but when it comes to more nuanced historical inquiry, they’re not yet up to the task.” Among the tested models, GPT-4 Turbo ranked highest with 46% accuracy, while Llama-3.1-8B scored the lowest at 33.6%. The researchers aim to address the shortcomings revealed in this study by expanding the dataset and refining the benchmark. Hauser emphasized plans to contain more data from underrepresented regions, especially in the Global South, and to include more complex historical questions. “We also look forward to testing more recent LLM models, such as o3, to see if they can bridge the gaps identified in this study,” Hauser said. 12. What did the study aim to explore concerning AI models? A. The function in strengthening Seshat. B. The understanding of human history. C. The accuracy in recording history. D. The efficiency in identifying facts. 13. How did LLMs perform in the test? A. Their capabilities are non-specific. B. They show strong historical competence. C. They’re in line with experts’ expectations. D. Their performance varied across time periods. 14. What does the underlined word “nuanced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Accurate. B. Plentiful. C. Detailed. D. Straightforward. 15. What will the researchers probably do next? A. Explain a good benchmark. B. Create more new AI models. C. Include more historians to participate. D. Balance the data from different regions. 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。 In life, we spend a lot of our time either at home or at work — or school if we’re a student.

She had always been careful in preparing Mike’s lunchbox. The food was more than enough to satisfy a young boy’s hunger. But recently Mike often returned home looking hungry. It wasn’t until one evening, when Mrs. Garcia noticed Mike rummaging (翻找) through the kitchen for food, that she realized something was wrong. “Mike, didn’t you have your lunch today?” Mrs. Garcia asked, watching her son open the fridge and grab a burger. Mike looked up at her, his eyes wide with fear. “I……I guess I did,” he said in a quiet voice, taking a bite of the burger. Mrs. Garcia felt confused. “Really? You’ve been saying that for days now. What’s really going on?” Mike’s shoulders drooped (垂下) as he looked away. “I don’t know, Mum. I just feel hungry.” Mrs. Garcia’s concern deepened. She knew Mike was a healthy and active boy who usually had a good appetite, and this sudden shift in behavior was alarming. After discussing it with her husband, she decided it was time to uncover what was happening at school. “Mrs. Garcia, I’ve noticed that Mike seems anxious during lunch,” Clive, Mike’s teacher, said. “I’ll pay closer attention to him and observe how he interacts with his classmates. There might be something we’re overlooking.” Mrs. Garcia nodded, feeling a ray of hope. “Thank you, Clive. I just want to make sure he’s okay.” She understood it would take time, but she was determined to discover why Mike was struggling and to help him overcome whatever was troubling him. “We’ll get to the bottom of this. Together, we can help Mike feel more comfortable at school,” Clive smiled. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As lunchtime approached, Clive stood at the classroom door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Garcia saw Clive, Mike, and another boy chatting happily at the school gate. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟试题 英语（二） 注意事项： 1.本试卷共12页。时间120分钟，满分150分。答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷指定位置，并将姓名、考场号、座位号、准考证号填写在答题卡上，然后认真核对条形码上的信息，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。作答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并收回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Toowoomba市为青少年提供的四个休闲娱乐活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Murphys Creek Escape部分的“If bush camping is more your style, this is a great place to take your teens to get away from the busy daily life of the city.(如果丛林露营更符合你的风格，那么这是一个带你的青少年远离城市繁忙日常生活的好地方。)”以及此部分的地址“Address: Thomas Road, Upper Lockyer”可知，青少年如果想要享受大自然，可以去Thomas Road的Murphys Creek Escape。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Toowoomba Escape Room部分的“It’s $180 for an escape room for three, additional entries cost $45 each, with a maximum of eight participants.(三人玩密室逃脱的价格是180美元，每增加一人需要额外支付45美元，最多可以有八人参与。)”可知，一个五口之家玩密室逃脱的价格应该是基础三人价格180美元加上额外两人的价格，即180+45×2=270美元。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Cave Gym部分的“The Cave Gym offers a climbing wall.(The Cave Gym提供了一个攀岩墙。)”可知，青少年在Cave Gym可以进行攀岩。故选D。 B Deep in the remote floodplain of Angola’s Kwando River, Kerllen Costa and his team were desperately searching for a campsite when they spotted an elder alone on a small island. As they approached, the elder questioned him, “Why were the people with you watching river birds with their telescopes?” When he explained they were a team of scientists on an expedition(考察), the elder told him, “If you only look at the bird, you won’t be able to understand how the bird communicates with the tree and how the bird interacts with the water.” Costa asked him how he knew this and the elder replied, “Well, because how would you know what’s in a landscape — what’s its story — if there’re no people in it? It’s only the people that bring history to it.” This has guided Costa’s work at the rivers of the Angolan Highlands Water Tower: building relationships of trust with local communities. Local communities have developed lifestyles over generations that protect and respect their homeland. Understanding what it means to protect these environments, means meeting, listening, and knowing the people who live there. So Costa often spends nights in villages listening to local elders share their beliefs on existence and has spent weeks going through remote parts of the forest with local hunters. “There were several different moments when the local people were saying, ‘Listen, you and your scientists, you might say this, but we know for sure it’s this for a reason,’” says Costa. The human approach Costa puts at the helm(舵轮)of his team’s efforts is a big step forward in the world of conservation. “That can shock some of the more conservative ways of thinking in terms of conservation. And there still is that difficulty to try and understand we shouldn’t create a national park. Why not allow people to still wander and use the systems that they already used for the last five generations? I really feel success should be people being able to still manage their own natural heritage and still living according to their traditions,” Costa stresses. 4. What can we learn from the elder’s words in paragraph 2? A. A landscape with people has a soul. B. The area has rich resources of history. C. The local ecosystem is being destroyed. D. The telescopes disturb the birds too much. 5. What’s the key to Costa’s job? A. Sharpening the expedition skills. B. Following the principles of nature. C Having a close bond with the locals. D. Taking field trips with a good hunter. 6 What is Costa’s attitude towards setting up à national park? A. Indifferent. B. Confident. C. Conservative. D. Disapproval. 7. Which of the following can best describe Costa? A. Determined and generous. B. Demanding and honest. C. Insightful and considerate. D. Flexible and talkative. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了生态科学家Kerllen Costa在进行生态考察时尊重当地生活状态并积极融入当地生活，践行生态环保的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If you only look at the bird, you won’t be able to understand how the bird communicates with the tree and how the bird interacts with the water.(如果你只看鸟，你就无法理解鸟是如何与树交流的，以及鸟是如何与水互动的。)”以及“Well, because how would you know what’s in a landscape — what’s its story — if there’ re no people in it? It’s only the people that bring history to it.(嗯，因为如果一幅风景中没有人，你怎么会知道其中蕴含着什么 —— 它的故事是什么？只有人才能为风景带来历史。)”可知，长者认为有人存在的风景才有灵魂。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This has guided Costa’s work at the rivers of the Angolan Highlands Water Tower: building relationships of trust with local communities.(这指导了Costa在安哥拉高地水塔河流的工作：与当地社区建立信任关系。)”可知，Costa工作的关键是与当地人建立密切的联系。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I really feel success should be people being able to still manage their own natural heritage and still living according to their traditions.(我真觉得成功应该是人们仍然能够管理自己的自然遗产，并且仍然按照他们的传统生活。)”可知，Costa认为应该允许人们按照他们的传统生活，而不是建立国家公园，这表明他对建立国家公园持不赞成的态度。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Costa倡导的“以人为本”的自然生态保护措施有别于传统的做法，他在与老人交流及融入当地社区时体现出了独有的洞察力，并尊重当地人的历史传承，主张要保证当地人目前的生活状态与几代人传承下来的生活方式不受到打扰。所以Costa既富有洞察力又很为他人着想。故选C。 C A new University of Michigan-led international study finds that fruits and vegetables grown in urban farms and gardens have a carbon footprint that is, on average, greater than conventionally grown produce. Urban agriculture(UA)is becoming increasingly popular worldwide as a way to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. By some estimates, between 20% and 30% of the global urban population engages in some form of urban agriculture. However, its carbon footprint remains understudied. Most previously published studies have focused on high-tech, energy-intensive forms of UA — such as vertical farms and rooftop greenhouses. The study used data from 73 urban farms and gardens in five countries and three types of urban agriculture sites were analyzed: urban farms, individual gardens, and collective gardens. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites in France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States were recruited(招募)as citizen scientists and used daily diary entries to record inputs and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout a whole year. On average, food produced through urban agriculture gave off 0.42 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents(等量物)per serving, six times higher than the 0.07 kilograms carbon dioxide equivalents per serving of conventionally grown produce. Inputs to the urban agriculture sites fell into three main categories: infrastructure(such as the raised beds in which food is grown, or pathways between plots), supplies(including fertilizer and weed-blocking fabric), and irrigation water. “Most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the materials used to construct them,” said study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein. “These farms typically only operate for a few years or a decade, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, on the other hand, is very efficient and hard to compete with.” However, in a survey conducted for the study, the researchers identified a practice crucial to making low-tech urban agriculture more competitive — UA farmers and gardeners dominantly reported improved mental health, diet, and social networks. While increasing these “nonfood outputs” of UA does not reduce its carbon footprint, “growing spaces which maximize social benefits can outcompete conventional agriculture,” according to the study authors. 8. Which aspect of UA was underestimated in the past? A. Its global scale. B. Its carbon footprint. C. Its special form. D. Its environmental benefit. 9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The upside of urban agriculture. B. The way the study was carried out. C. The types of urban agriculture sites. D. The role the farmers involved play. 10. What might make UA more competitive according to Benjamin Goldstein? A. Extending the lifetimes of UA infrastructure. B. Improving the water supply for UA irrigation. C. Guaranteeing the source of data collected. D. Giving a second life to conventional farms. 11. Which of the following would the study authors agree with? A. Urban farming is still worth people’s efforts. B. Citizens will turn to conventional agriculture. C. Nonfood outputs of urban agriculture are illogical. D. Rooftop farms produce more carbon than gardens. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了一项由密歇根大学领导的国际研究发现，城市农场和菜园种植的水果和蔬菜的碳足迹平均高于传统种植的农产品，但城市农业在心理健康、饮食和社会网络方面带来的“非食品产出”使其具有竞争力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Urban agriculture(UA)is becoming increasingly popular worldwide (城市农业（UA）在全球范围内正变得日益流行)”和“However, its carbon footprint remains understudied.(然而，它的碳足迹仍缺乏研究)”可知，城市农业的碳足迹在过去并未得到充分研究。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study used data from 73 urban farms and gardens in five countries and three types of urban agriculture sites were analyzed: urban farms, individual gardens, and collective gardens. Farmers and gardeners at urban agriculture sites in France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States were recruited as citizen scientists and used daily diary entries to record inputs and harvests from their food-growing sites throughout a whole year.(这项研究使用了来自五个国家73个城市农场和菜园的数据，并分析了三种类型的城市农业场地：城市农场、个人菜园和集体菜园。来自法国、德国、波兰、英国和美国的城市农业场地的农民和园丁被招募为公民科学家，并使用每日日记记录他们全年食物种植场地的投入和收获)”可知，第三段主要讲了研究是如何进行的，包括数据的来源、分析的城市农业场地类型以及参与研究的农民和园丁如何记录数据。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Most of the climate impacts at urban farms are driven by the materials used to construct them,” said study co-lead author Benjamin Goldstein. “These farms typically only operate for a few years or a decade, so the greenhouse gases used to produce those materials are not used effectively. Conventional agriculture, on the other hand, is very efficient and hard to compete with.”(研究报告的共同主要作者Benjamin Goldstein说：“城市农场的大部分气候影响是由建造它们所使用的材料驱动的。这些农场通常只运营几年或十年，因此用于生产这些材料的温室气体没有被有效利用。另一方面，传统农业非常高效，难以与之竞争。”)”可知，Benjamin Goldstein认为，城市农业的大部分气候影响是由建造它们所使用的材料驱动的，这些材料在生产过程中产生了温室气体，且由于城市农场的使用寿命较短，这些温室气体没有被有效利用。因此，延长UA基础设施的使用寿命可能使UA更具竞争力，因为它可以更有效地利用生产这些材料时产生的温室气体。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While increasing these “nonfood outputs” of UA does not reduce its carbon footprint, “growing spaces which maximize social benefits can outcompete conventional agriculture,” according to the study authors.(尽管增加城市农业的“非食品产出”并不能减少其碳足迹，但研究报告的作者表示，“最大化社会效益的增长空间可以超越传统农业。”)”可知，研究报告的作者认为，尽管城市农业的碳足迹可能较高，但它在心理健康、饮食和社会网络方面带来的“非食品产出”使其具有竞争力，因此城市农业仍然值得人们努力。故选A。 D For over a decade, scientist Peter Turchin has worked to create a database of human history—Seshat: the Global History Databank. Recently, Turchin and computer scientist Maria del Rio-Chanona turned their attention to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, questioning whether these advanced models could aid historians and archaeologists (考古学家) in interpreting the past. Large language models (LLMs) , such as ChatGPT, have been hugely successful in some fields. Using Seshat as a benchmark (基准), researchers tested LLMs on questions requiring graduate or expert-level knowledge. “A key component of our benchmark is that we not only test whether these LLMs can identify correct facts, but also ask whether a fact can be proven or inferred from indirect evidence,” Turchin said. The study revealed that OpenAI models like GPT-4 performed better for regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, while Llama models excelled in Northern America. However, both systems underperformed in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Llama also showing weaker results for Oceania. LLMs demonstrated greater accuracy when addressing questions about ancient history, particularly between 8,000 BCE and 3,000 BCE, but struggled with more recent events, especially from 1,500 CE to the present. LLMs performed best on questions related to legal systems and social complexity, but they struggled significantly with topics such as discrimination and social mobility. “I thought the AI chatbots would do a lot better,” said Hauser, corresponding author of the study. “History is often viewed as facts, but sometimes interpretation is necessary to make sense of it. They’re great for basic facts, but when it comes to more nuanced historical inquiry, they’re not yet up to the task.” Among the tested models, GPT-4 Turbo ranked highest with 46% accuracy, while Llama-3.1-8B scored the lowest at 33.6%. The researchers aim to address the shortcomings revealed in this study by expanding the dataset and refining the benchmark. Hauser emphasized plans to contain more data from underrepresented regions, especially in the Global South, and to include more complex historical questions. “We also look forward to testing more recent LLM models, such as o3, to see if they can bridge the gaps identified in this study,” Hauser said. 12. What did the study aim to explore concerning AI models? A. The function in strengthening Seshat. B. The understanding of human history. C. The accuracy in recording history. D. The efficiency in identifying facts. 13. How did LLMs perform in the test? A. Their capabilities are non-specific. B. They show strong historical competence. C. They’re in line with experts’ expectations. D. Their performance varied across time periods. 14. What does the underlined word “nuanced” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Accurate. B. Plentiful. C. Detailed. D. Straightforward. 15. What will the researchers probably do next? A. Explain a good benchmark. B. Create more new AI models. C. Include more historians to participate. D. Balance the data from different regions. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能模型在构建人类历史数据库方面所能起到的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, Turchin and computer scientist Maria del Rio-Chanona turned their attention to artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, questioning whether these advanced models could aid. historians and archaeologists (考古学家) in interpreting the past.(最近，Turchin 和计算机科学家Maria del Rio-Chanona 将目光转向了人工智能聊天机器人，他们质疑这些先进模型是否能帮助历史学家和考古学家解读过去。)”可知，该研究聚焦于AI模型能否帮助历史学家和考古学家解读历史，即探索AI模型对人类历史的理解。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“LLMs demonstrated greater accuracy when addressing questions about ancient history, particularly between 8,000 BCE and 3,000 BCE, but struggled with more recent events, especially from 1,500 CE to the present.(LLMs在回答有关古代历史的问题时表现出更高的准确性，尤其是在公元前8000年至公元前3000年之间，但在处理较近期的事件时，尤其是公元1500年至今的事件时，表现较为困难。)”可知，LLMs的表现随时间段不同而变化。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“History is often viewed as facts, but sometimes interpretation is necessary to make sense of it. They’re great for basic facts, but when it comes to more nuanced historical inquiry, they’re not yet up to the task.(历史常被视为事实，但有时需要解读才能理解。它们擅长基本事实，但在更nuanced的历史探究中，还未达任务要求)”可知，人工智能擅长基本事实，但在更复杂的历史探究中，还未达到任务要求。可推断nuanced意为“细致的、复杂的”，与C选项 “Detailed(详细的)”含义相近。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hauser emphasized plans to contain more data from underrepresented regions, especially in the Global South.(Hauser强调计划纳入更多来自代表性不足地区的数据，尤其是全球南方)”可知，研究人员下一步可能平衡不同地区的数据。故选D。 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。 In life, we spend a lot of our time either at home or at work — or school if we’re a student. But what about all the other places we hang out when we’re not at these places? Often referred to as third places, these are the spaces we occupy when we’re socializing with friends or relatives, or enjoying time on our own but in the presence of other people. ____16____ They may include theaters, gyms, cafes, bars, parks, libraries, or friends’ houses where everyone spends the most time. “Third places play an important role in our lives by offering a break from the demands of work-home life,” explains Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist. ____17____ “Being part of a community and feeling connected is essential for good mental health. It can even increase our self-respect,” she adds. ____18____ There are many reasons for this, including the rising cost of living, car dependency, and the ease with which we can now do so many things at home, straight from our computer. ____19____ We need to take care of our shared spaces, as well as organizing activities there and taking part in gatherings. Third places can transform a neighborhood into a welcoming home, but only if we take ownership of them. With many other things in day-to-day life, finding the time to visit third places isn’t always easy. ____20____ Successful third places are those that promote active, rather than passive interaction, and where people are welcome to drop in, and make conversation with others, whether they know them well or not. It might be unrealistic to expect us to spend hours in third places every day, but even just short amounts of time when we’ re able to can go a long way. A. These third places can be many and varied. B. What can we do to help sustain third places ourselves? C. Unfortunately, the popularity of the third place is in decline. D. Even if people would not go there, it can be easier said than done. E. She also emphasizes how third places can give us a sense of connection. F. However, there are some things that third places can do to help themselves. G. From developing creativity to building community, third places have lots of benefits. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍“第三场所”的定义、作用、面临的现状（受欢迎度下降）及维护方式，客观阐释相关概念和现象。 【16题详解】 由上文“Often referred to as third places, these are the spaces we occupy when we’re socializing with friends or relatives, or enjoying time on our own but in the presence of other people.(通常被称为第三场所，这些是我们与朋友或亲戚社交时，或独自享受时光但有他人在场时所占据的空间。)”可知，此处定义了“第三场所”，下文“They may include theaters, gyms, cafes, bars, parks, libraries, or friends’ houses where everyone spends the most time.(它们可能包括剧院、健身房、咖啡馆、酒吧、公园、图书馆或朋友家，每个人在那里呆的时间都最多。)”列举“第三场所”所包括的各种具体场所；A项“These third places can be many and varied.(这些第三场所可以有很多种且各式各样。)”说明“第三场所”的多样性，承上启下，符合语境，many and varied对应下文列举的theaters, gyms, cafes 等不同场景，具体诠释定义内容。故选A项。 【17题详解】 由上文““Third places play an important role in our lives by offering a break from the demands of work-home life,” explains Elena Touroni, a consultant psychologist.(咨询心理学家Elena Touroni 解释说：‘第三场所在我们的生活中扮演着重要角色，为我们提供了从工作和家庭生活需求中解脱出来的机会。’)”及下文““Being part of a community and feeling connected is essential for good mental health. It can even increase our self-respect,” she adds.(‘成为社区的一部分，并感到与社区有联系，对良好的心理健康至关重要。它甚至可以增加我们的自尊，’她补充道。)”可知，此处需衔接专家对第三场所另一作用的强调，而E项“She also emphasizes how third places can give us a sense of connection.(她还强调第三场所如何能给我们一种连接感。)”符合语境，also emphasizes承接前文play an important role，sense of connection直接对应下文feeling connected，逻辑连贯。故选E项。 【18题详解】 由下文“There are many reasons for this, including the rising cost of living, car dependency, and the ease with which we can now do so many things at home, straight from our computer.(这有很多原因，包括生活成本上升、对汽车的依赖，以及我们现在可以轻松地在家里通过电脑做很多事情。)”可知，this指代某种负面现象，空格处需引出第三场所受欢迎程度下降的问题，C项“Unfortunately, the popularity of the third place is in decline.(不幸的是，第三场所的受欢迎程度正在下降。)”符合语境，in decline与后文reasons for this形成因果关系，解释现象背后的原因。故选C项。 【19题详解】 由下文“We need to take care of our shared spaces, as well as organizing activities there and taking part in gatherings.(我们需要爱护我们的共享空间，以及在那里组织活动和参加聚会。)”可知，此处讨论维护第三场所的具体行动，B项“What can we do to help sustain third places ourselves?(我们自己可以做些什么来帮助维持第三场所？)”用提问引出下文具体的解决方案，符合语境，what can we do直接引出下文具体措施，形成“提问——回答”结构。故选B项。 【20题详解】 由上文“With many other things in day-to-day life, finding the time to visit third places isn’t always easy.(在日常生活中还有许多其他事情，找到时间去第三场所并不总是容易的。)”及下文“Successful third places are those that promote active, rather than passive interaction, and where people are welcome to drop in, and make conversation with others, whether they know them well or not.(成功的第三名是那些促进主动而非被动互动的地方，欢迎人们来这里与他人交谈，无论他们是否了解他们。)”可知，此处需说明第三场所自身应如何改进以吸引人群，F项“However, there are some things that third places can do to help themselves.(然而，有些事情第三场所可以自己做来帮助自己。)”符合语境，however转折上文“时间不足”的问题，help themselves引出下文promote active interaction等场所自身的优化方向。故选F项。 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。 A reorganization was happening right as I entered a new company, and tensions were high.

She had always been careful in preparing Mike’s lunchbox. The food was more than enough to satisfy a young boy’s hunger. But recently Mike often returned home looking hungry. It wasn’t until one evening, when Mrs. Garcia noticed Mike rummaging (翻找) through the kitchen for food, that she realized something was wrong. “Mike, didn’t you have your lunch today?” Mrs. Garcia asked, watching her son open the fridge and grab a burger. Mike looked up at her, his eyes wide with fear. “I……I guess I did,” he said in a quiet voice, taking a bite of the burger. Mrs. Garcia felt confused. “Really? You’ve been saying that for days now. What’s really going on?” Mike’s shoulders drooped (垂下) as he looked away. “I don’t know, Mum. I just feel hungry.” Mrs. Garcia’s concern deepened. She knew Mike was a healthy and active boy who usually had a good appetite, and this sudden shift in behavior was alarming. After discussing it with her husband, she decided it was time to uncover what was happening at school. “Mrs. Garcia, I’ve noticed that Mike seems anxious during lunch,” Clive, Mike’s teacher, said. “I’ll pay closer attention to him and observe how he interacts with his classmates. There might be something we’re overlooking.” Mrs. Garcia nodded, feeling a ray of hope. “Thank you, Clive. I just want to make sure he’s okay.” She understood it would take time, but she was determined to discover why Mike was struggling and to help him overcome whatever was troubling him. “We’ll get to the bottom of this. Together, we can help Mike feel more comfortable at school,” Clive smiled. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As lunchtime approached, Clive stood at the classroom door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mrs. Garcia saw Clive, Mike, and another boy chatting happily at the school gate. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As lunchtime approached, Clive stood at the classroom door. He saw Mike walk confidently over to a quiet boy who always sat alone in the corner. Mike greeted him with a smile and handed him part of his lunch, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. The boy accepted it gratefully, and they began chatting warmly, their laughter filling the room. Clive realized that Mike had been sharing his lunch regularly to help someone in need, which explained why he was always hungry when he came home. Mrs. Garcia saw Clive, Mike, and another boy chatting happily at the school gate. She walked up and found Mike’s smile brighter than usual. Clive explained Mike’s kind gesture—sharing his lunch with the classmate, Jacob, whose family was going through a tough time. Mrs. Garcia felt a mix of pride and relief, hugging Mike tightly. She promised to prepare lunches for both boys every day. Clive added that they had organized a small lunch club to support students in need, and Mike was happy to be part of it. Mrs. Garcia’s heart swelled with admiration for her son’s empathy and responsibility. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mrs. Garcia发现儿子Mike每天放学回家总喊饿，尽管她准备的午餐足够。与丈夫商量后，她联系老师Clive寻求帮助，老师决定密切观察Mike在学校的情况。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“临近午餐时间，Clive站在教室门口。”可知，第一段可描写午餐时间老师Clive看到的场景，揭示Mike总饿的原因是他把午餐分享给了其他同学。从Clive观察Mike走向角落的男孩，Mike微笑着分享午餐，两人开心交流，呈现出Mike善良的举动。 ②由第二段首句内容“加西亚太太看Mrs. Garcia、Mike另一个男孩在校门口愉快地聊天。”可知，第二段可描写Mrs. Garcia来到学校门口看到的情景，包括老师向她解释Mike的善举，Mrs. Garcia的反应以及后续大家为帮助有需要的同学所做的努力。 2.续写线索：午餐时间 Clive 观察 ——Mike 分享午餐 ——Mrs. Garcia 到校门口 —— 老师解释 ——Mrs. Garcia 反应及后续行动 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①意识到：realize/be aware of ②解释：explain/account for ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类： ①感激地：gratefully/thankfully ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He saw Mike walk confidently over to a quiet boy who always sat alone in the corner.（运用了who 引导的定语从句） 【高分句型 2】Clive added that they had organized a small lunch club to support students in need, and Mike was happy to be part of it.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
