Now a story about her dog is inspiring us again. Last year, she bought her dog, Rover, from a pet shop in another city. One day last month, she left Rover alone in her house. But when she came back, she couldn’t find him. She was so sad. So Samantha posted information online and searched the local parks with some volunteers. Two weeks ago, she came into our studio to make a news announcement. This was the first time I met Samantha. Finally, because of Samantha’s various efforts, Rover has been found. This morning, a man saw a dog while he was working on his farm 100 kilometers north of town. Then he recognized the Rover from the news. He got Rover on his truck and drove him to our TV station. Now he’s here with Rover. We are waiting for Samantha here and we will update the end of the story. So don’t go anywhere. But first, let’s look at the weather conditions tomorrow. 第二部分 阅读 （共两节, 满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Scandinavia has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world and is enriched with its own culture and way of life, which draws in millions of people every year. This guide includes what you need to know to plan your trip. Places to Visit Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen offers unique museums that explore its Viking history, guided tours to help travelers experience its everyday life, and historical sites, such as Amalienborg Castle, where the royal family takes their winter holiday. Bergen, Norway You can explore an old-timey fish market or enjoy buildings that date back to the 14th century. Don’t forget to spend some time in the natural beauty of the mountains and the sea surrounding the city. Reykjavik, Iceland You can visit the Blue Lagoon, known for its hot springs. You can also enjoy whale watching and depending on where you go and who you have booked with, you might even have the opportunity to swim with the whales. Helsinki, Finland The most popular tourist attraction is the Suomenlinna Fortress. It holds several shops, restaurants, and museums inside. Best Time to Visit The summer season brings more stability in the weather, making it the perfect time to schedule outdoor adventures. The winter months are ideal for a quieter vacation and give the best opportunity to spot the Northern Lights because of the lack of light pollution. Travel Tips Enjoy all of the free things that Scandinavia offers, including the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun, and the Polar Nights. Scandinavia’s local cafes usually offer very filling meals for a relatively low cost. If you’re interested in touring museums in Norway, look into getting a city card, which can offer discounts and sometimes free admission. 21.

Why is winter a proper time to spot the Northern Lights? A. It provides better visibility. B. It has fewer visitors. C. It is suitable for outdoor activities. D. It is stable in the weather. 23. With a city card in Norway, you may ________. A. enjoy free coffee B. get a price reduction C. have filling meals D. visit natural attractions 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了斯堪的纳维亚地区四个值得游览的地方、最佳旅游时间以及旅游小贴士，为游客规划行程提供参考。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Reykjavik, Iceland部分中“You can also enjoy whale watching and depending on where you go and who you have booked with, you might even have the opportunity to swim with the whales. (你还可以观赏鲸鱼，根据你去的地方和预订的对象，你甚至可能有机会和鲸鱼一起游泳)”可知，在冰岛的雷克雅未克可以和鲸鱼一起游泳。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Best Time to Visit部分中“The winter months are ideal for a quieter vacation and give the best opportunity to spot the Northern Lights because of the lack of light pollution. (冬季是享受宁静假期的理想时间，由于光污染少，也是观赏北极光的最佳时机)”可知，冬季光污染少，提供了更好的能见度，所以是观赏北极光的合适时间。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Travel Tips部分中“If you’re interested in touring museums in Norway, look into getting a city card, which can offer discounts and sometimes free admission. (如果你对游览挪威的博物馆感兴趣，可以考虑办理一张城市卡，它可以提供折扣，有时还能免费入场)”可知，有了挪威的城市卡可以获得价格上的减免。故选B项。 B Dr Nicola Patron’s office is a little different. Near the window hangs a modern artwork of the plant Nicotiana benthamiana, a host on which to grow medicinal or agriculturally useful substances. Here is where engineering, biology and art overlap (重叠). Despite her green fingers, Nicola’s childhood dream was to become an astrophysicist. At 17, she joined a science programme that invited students to grow and observe seeds flown to the International Space Station. “It was the first experimental data I ever had. It’s so fun,” she says. “Meanwhile, I was volunteering for a homeless charity, which made me think about food security and distribution. The combination of these two things shifted what I wanted to do: biological sciences suddenly seemed relevant.” Young Nicola was a few years early for the birth of bioengineering, but technology has since caught up with her ideas. Nicola can now apply engineering principles to biological systems, and guide how plant genes (基因) are expressed. Her lab is working on fungal-resistant (抗真菌的) crops. This resistance is determined by a gene network, where genes regulate each other in a complex process. To speed up this search, Nicola cooperates with mathematicians. Candidate genes can be tested in mathematical models to predict their impact on characteristics like growth and resistance. Finally, Nicola can work on encoding promising genes into a piece of DNA. If proven effective, this could be transformative for food security. In another part of Nicola’s work, she’s trying to identify sustainable ways to produce plant-based medicines. Some medically useful plants aren’t easy to mass produce, making the drug expensive. Fortunately, biologists can program another organism to produce it with high efficiency and low cost. That’s what Nicola is doing with Nicotiana benthamiana. She describes the process as “reading nature’s blueprints and directing its energy to more powerful ends.” 24. What motivated Nicola to pursue biological sciences? A. Her childhood dream of being an astrophysicist. B. Her natural talent for growing seeds from space. C. Her big ideas of combining engineering and biology. D. Her experience in scientific projects and charity work. 25. Why does Nicola use mathematical models in her research? A. To clarify the research process. B. To help select the promising genes. C. To balance growth and resistance. D. To address food security challenges. 26. What is Nicola’s belief in medicinal development? A. Nature should be viewed as a guideline. B. High efficiency should be achieved at all costs. C. Ways should be found to mass produce plants. D. Priority should be given to cost-effective plants. 27. What can we learn about Nicola? A. She was good at art and design. B. Her pioneering idea has been applied. C. She has concerns about drug safety. D. Her inquiring mind drives her to explore. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了尼古拉・帕特伦博士的科研经历与研究方向，包括她从天体物理转向生物科学的动机、抗真菌作物研究及植物基药物开发。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At 17, she joined a science programme that invited students to grow and observe seeds flown to the International Space Station. “It was the first experimental data I ever had. It’s so fun,” she says. “Meanwhile, I was volunteering for a homeless charity, which made me think about food security and distribution. The combination of these two things shifted what I wanted to do: biological sciences suddenly seemed relevant. (17岁时，她加入了一个科学项目，该项目邀请学生种植和观察送往国际空间站的种子。“这是我拥有的第一份实验数据，非常有趣，”她说。“与此同时，我在为一家无家可归者慈善机构做志愿者，这让我开始思考粮食安全和分配问题。这两件事的结合改变了我的志向：生物科学突然变得有意义了。”)”可知，尼古拉投身生物科学的动机是科学项目和慈善工作的经历。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To speed up this search, Nicola cooperates with mathematicians. Candidate genes can be tested in mathematical models to predict their impact on characteristics like growth and resistance. Finally, Nicola can work on encoding promising genes into a piece of DNA. (为加快研究进程，Nicola与数学家合作。候选基因可以在数学模型中进行测试，以预测它们对生长和抗性等特性的影响。最后，Nicola可以将有潜力的基因编码到一段DNA中。)”可知，使用数学模型是为了帮助筛选有潜力的基因。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In another part of Nicola’s work, she’s trying to identify sustainable ways to produce plant-based medicines.(在尼古拉的另一部分工作中，她正尝试寻找可持续的方法来生产植物基药物。)”以及“She describes the process as “reading nature’s blueprints and directing its energy to more powerful ends.””(她将这一过程描述为 “阅读大自然的蓝图，并引导其能量实现更强大的目标”。)可知，Nicola认为药物开发应将自然视为指引，强调遵循自然规律。故选A项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At 17, she joined a science programme that invited students to grow and observe seeds flown to the International Space Station.(17岁时，她加入了一个科学项目，该项目邀请学生种植和观察送往国际空间站的种子。)”以及下文对她参加的慈善工作引发对粮食安全的思考可知，她从青少年时期参与太空种子实验、因慈善工作转向生物科学，结合第三段“Young Nicola was a few years early for the birth of bioengineering, but technology has since caught up with her ideas. Nicola can now apply engineering principles to biological systems, and guide how plant genes (基因) are expressed.(尼古拉在生物工程诞生前几年就有了相关想法，不过如今技术已追上了她的理念。现在，尼古拉能够将工程原理应用于生物系统，并引导植物基因的表达方式。)”可知，在她成年后结合工程学与生物学、跨学科合作研究抗真菌作物和植物基药物，始终体现其探索精神驱动持续创新，由此可知，她爱探究的头脑驱使她不断探索。故选D项。 C The history of Hollywood can be told as a series of technological breakthroughs, and each time something new comes along, the industry reorganizes itself. Past breakthroughs, though, have narrower impacts: home video changed movie distribution, digital cameras changed movie production, computer-generated imagery (CGI) changed visual effects. The difference here is that AI has the potential to destroy many places in our production process. AI is developing so rapidly that it’s difficult to predict how it will end and which aspects of the film-making process it will destroy first. Yet the reality of AI’s adoption within Hollywood so far has been considerably less frightening. What was described as an industry earthquake has been more like a slow leaching (渗透) into the topsoil. It’s everywhere and it’s nowhere. It’s invisible and it’s all over the screen. “Many people think that if you type ‘movie’ and press enter, you get a movie,” says Cristóbal Valenzuela, the co-founder of Runway, whose AI-video-generation engines are among the most widely used. “The moment you start using it, you understand: Oh, it’s full of shortcomings.” The critical limitation with generative-AI tools for now is the absence of control. CGI requires hundreds of artists, working one scene at a time — but “you control every pixel (像素),” says Oded Granot, a visual-effects artist working on a Oscar-winning team. Making images with AI requires just a simple prompt (指令）. “You write: ‘I want Spider-Man hanging from a building,’ and it generates it,” Granot explains. But that still leaves countless decisions up to the machine, and you’re stuck with the output. What does the building look like? How is he hanging? Upside-down? Sideways? And that’s a single still image, not a film. Over several months of talking to people around Hollywood about AI, I noticed a pattern: The people who knew the least about its potential uses feared it the most; and the people who understood it best, who had actually worked with it, had the most faith in human creativity, as well as the most doubt about generative AI’s ever replacing it. It was the future of Hollywood, and it looked like its past. 28. What distinguishes AI from previous filming breakthroughs? A. Its ability to increase the production. B. Its role in global movie distribution. C. The extent of its effect on the industry. D. The potential for growth in the future. 29. What can we learn about the reality of AI’s adoption within Hollywood? A. It leads nowhere. B. It is unnoticed but widespread. C. It ends in failure. D. It shakes up the whole industry. 30. Why does the author mention Spider-Man? A. To prove the popularity of the film. B. To emphasize the importance of CGI. C. To demonstrate the process of film production. D To show the limitation of AI in the film industry. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Fear of AI grows among filmmakers. B. Generative AI kills human creativity. C. The use of AI in filming is unstoppable. D. The film industry will be dominated by AI. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文。主要阐述了 AI 在好莱坞电影制作领域的影响、当前应用现状，以及人们对其不同看法。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Past breakthroughs, though, have narrower impacts: home video changed movie distribution, digital cameras changed movie production, computer-generated imagery (CGI) changed visual effects. The difference here is that AI has the potential to destroy many places in our production process.(不过，过去的技术突破影响范围相对较窄：家庭录像改变了电影发行模式，数码相机革新了电影制作方式，计算机生成图像（CGI）改变了视觉效果呈现。而AI的不同之处在于，它有潜力对电影制作流程中的诸多环节产生颠覆性影响。)”可知，AI与以往电影技术突破的差异在于其对电影行业影响的程度和范围更广更深，由此可知，AI 区别于先前电影制作突破的特点在于其对行业影响的程度。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What was described as an industry earthquake has been more like a slow leaching (渗透) into the topsoil. It’s everywhere and it’s nowhere. It’s invisible and it’s all over the screen. (所谓的行业性变革，更像是一种缓慢地渗透到行业根基的过程。它看似无处不在，却又难以直观察觉。它无形无影，却又实实在在地在电影屏幕中有所体现。)”可知，AI在好莱坞的应用现状是虽然没有引起广泛关注，却已悄然在行业内广泛存在，由此可知，AI在好莱坞应用的现实情况是它虽未被察觉但已广泛分布。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“CGI requires hundreds of artists, working one scene at a time — but “you control every pixel (像素),” says Oded Granot, a visual-effects artist working on a Oscar-winning team. Making images with AI requires just a simple prompt (指令）. “You write: ‘I want Spider-Man hanging from a building,’ and it generates it,” Granot explains. But that still leaves countless decisions up to the machine, and you’re stuck with the output. (曾参与奥斯卡获奖团队的视觉特效艺术家奥德・格拉诺特表示，CGI 需要数百名艺术家，一次专注创作一个场景，不过这样能“控制每个像素”。而用 AI 生成图像只需一个简单指令，格拉诺特解释说，“你写下：‘我想要蜘蛛侠悬挂在大楼上’，它就会生成相应图像。”但这意味着众多细节决策都由机器决定，而使用者只能接受最终生成的结果。)”可知，作者提及“蜘蛛侠” 这一例子，是为了具体说明AI在电影制作中存在缺乏可控性这一明显局限性，由此可知，作者提到蜘蛛侠的目的是展示AI在电影行业中的局限性。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Over several months of talking to people around Hollywood about AI, I noticed a pattern: The people who knew the least about its potential uses feared it the most; and the people who understood it best, who had actually worked with it, had the most faith in human creativity, as well as the most doubt about generative AI’s ever replacing it. It was the future of Hollywood, and it looked like its past. (在数月与好莱坞各界人士探讨 AI 的过程中，我留意到一种趋势：对AI潜在用途了解最少的人最恐惧它；而最了解 AI、实际使用过它的人，对人类创造力最有信心，也最怀疑生成式 AI 能否真正取代人类。这就是好莱坞的未来，它看起来与过去的发展模式别无二致。)”可知，作者将AI的应用比作好莱坞的 “过去”——即历史上所有技术革新都是在争议中渗透行业、成为趋势，结合前文对AI已在好莱坞缓慢渗透的描述，可推知作者暗示AI在电影制作中的应用如同历史上的技术革新一样不可阻挡。故选C项。 D There’s an old saying that those people who are most interested in leading others are least suited to the task. That’s not entirely accurate, yet new research has found a grain of truth in this idea: Many leaders have plenty of ambition to lead, but that’s no guarantee others think they’re effective. “Our society assumes that there is a link between leadership ambition and leadership aptitude,” explains Francis Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior. “We largely rely on opt-in mechanisms to populate (填充) our pools of potential leaders. That assumes that those people who want to lead are the ones who should lead. But is that assumption true?” So Flynn conducted the first systematic study of that relationship. His team asked more than 450 participants in a leadership development program to answer questions about their ambition and rate themselves in 10 areas of competence, including motivating others, coaching people and communicating ideas. The researchers then asked each participant’s managers, peers, and direct reports (直接下属) to rate them on the same competencies. Not surprisingly, these participants scored high on ambition. Yet there was a difference between how they rated their own leadership ability and how the people they worked with rated them. This perception gap was pronounced in 7 of the 10 leadership competencies. While the gap between leaders and their managers and peers was especially noticeable, it was slightly less so between leaders and their direct reports. Anyone involved in the selection and development of leaders should take note of these findings. Flynn recommends using evidence-based assessments to identify the leaders who might be overshadowed by their more ambitious peers. He cites the 360-degree assessment tool used in the study. “Those are very concrete skills being evaluated,” he says. “If people can get that kind of concrete feedback, it might help them measure their leadership accurately.” Another solution is to populate pools of potential leaders with people who should at least be in the running, regardless of their current levels of ambition. “Leader selection should be an opt-out, not an opt-in situation. That will allow space for people who should be considered because they’re talented, not because they overestimate the extent to which they deserve that opportunity,” Flynn says. 32. What does the underlined word “aptitude” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Talent. B. Style. C. Position. D. Experience. 33. What does Flynn’s study focus on? A. The positive effects of leadership ambition. B. The underlying assumption behind ambition. C. The huge impact on leadership development. D. The perception gap in leadership competence. 34. Why did researchers engage participant’s coworkers in the study? A. To increase sample size. B. To support the participants. C. To obtain balanced evaluations. D. To avoid quick conclusions. 35. What is Flynn’s suggestion for the leadership selection process? A. Assess candidates’ current level of ambition. B. Favor candidates from overshadowed groups. C. Develop candidates’ concrete leadership skills. D. Choose candidates with true leadership abilities. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究揭示领导抱负与实际领导能力间存在认知差距。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Our society assumes that there is a link between leadership ambition and leadership aptitude,” explains Francis Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior. “We largely rely on opt-in mechanisms to populate our pools of potential leaders.(组织行为学教授弗朗西斯·弗林解释说：“我们的社会认为领导抱负和领导aptitude之间存在联系。我们主要依靠自愿参与机制来填充我们的潜在领导者库。”)”可知，这里讨论的是领导抱负和领导能力之间的关系，aptitude与talent意思相近，都表示“天赋、能力”。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“His team asked more than 450 participants in a leadership development program to answer questions about their ambition and rate themselves in 10 areas of competence, including motivating others, coaching people and communicating ideas. The researchers then asked each participant’s managers, peers, and direct reports to rate them on the same competencies.(他的团队让一个领导力发展项目的450多名参与者回答有关他们抱负的问题，并在包括激励他人、指导他人和交流想法在内的10个能力领域对自己进行评分。然后，研究人员要求每位参与者的经理、同事和直接下属就同样的能力对他们进行评分)”以及第四段中“Yet there was a difference between how they rated their own leadership ability and how the people they worked with rated them. This perception gap was pronounced in 7 of the 10 leadership competencies.(然而，他们对自己领导能力的评价与同事对他们的评价存在差异。在10项领导能力中，有7项存在这种认知差距)”可知，Flynn的团队让参与者自评领导能力，并让其同事、下属等进行互评，发现两者之间存在认知差距，尤其在10项领导能力中的7项表现明显。即Flynn的研究主要关注领导力能力方面的认知差距。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The researchers then asked each participant’s managers, peers, and direct reports to rate them on the same competencies.(然后，研究人员要求每位参与者的经理、同事和直接下属就同样的能力对他们进行评分)”以及第四段中“Yet there was a difference between how they rated their own leadership ability and how the people they worked with rated them.(然而，他们对自己领导能力的评价与同事对他们的评价存在差异)”可推知，研究人员让参与者的同事参与研究是为了获得更平衡的评价，即从多个角度来评估参与者的领导能力。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““Leader selection should be an opt-out, not an opt-in situation. That will allow space for people who should be considered because they’re talented, not because they overestimate the extent to which they deserve that opportunity,” Flynn says.(弗林说：“领导者选择应该是一个选择退出的过程，而不是一个选择加入的过程。这将为那些应该被考虑的人提供空间，因为他们有才华，而不是因为他们高估了自己应得这个机会的程度。”)”可知，Flynn建议选择具有真正领导能力的候选人，而不是仅仅基于他们的抱负或自我评价。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。 The Art of Being a Good Amateur Learning to do something new and hard requires a growth mindset. All of us who became research experts in our subjects did so because something lit a spark(火花)of curiosity that carried us from being an amateur to an expert. ____36____ What we learned was how to review the field, do the research, and contribute to knowledge. We begin this way, but after the tenth or twentieth or thirtieth time we have taught the subject, that spark of curiosity grows progressively dimmer(暗淡的). Add this to plenty of papers to mark and endless meetings to attend. ____37____ One of the things that I found most rewarding about writing for general audiences was deeply personal. It was the thing that relit the spark. It allowed the possibility of being a beginner again and afforded the excitement of learning some new and hard. In this process you can learn how to write in a different way. ____38____ What I have loved was being the student and being amazed at how generous experts often are when encountering a good student. I always tell the story of my research when I was writing a book on the history of perfume(香水). When I was ultimately offered a 15-minute appointment with the perfumers, I knew I’d better not waste it. So I studied like mad. I read everything I could find. ____39____ What began as a brief talk turned into an hour or more, because the conversation was so interesting we’d all lost track of the clock. Along the way, I have found that writing a book for a general audience makes me a better writer, a better professor, and perhaps above all a better teacher. ____40____ You do not have to know everything. What you have to know is how to be an expert at being an amateur. A. By mid-career the spark can almost die out. B. You can also rely on the generosity of teachers. C. Being a passionate amateur can relight the spark. D. But, to be honest, it was the least interesting part. E. I went into the meeting armed with a couple of good questions. F. It was humbling and exciting to be a student and to stretch for mastery. G. What we learned in this process was not only the content of our subject. 【答案】36. G 37. A 38. D 39. E 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何成为一个优秀的业余爱好者，强调了保持好奇心和初学者心态的重要性。 【36题详解】 根据上文“All of us who became research experts in our subjects did so because something lit a spark (火花) of curiosity that carried us from being an amateur to an expert.(我们所有人都成为了我们研究领域的专家，这是因为某种好奇心点燃了火花，把我们从业余爱好者变成了专家。)”以及下文“What we learned was how to review the field, do the research, and contribute to knowledge.(我们学到的是如何回顾这个领域，做研究，并为知识做出贡献。)”可知，上文提到成为专家，后文则提到回顾领域、做研究等，由此可知，空处是在说明在这个过程中学到的东西，G选项中“this process”对应上文中“something lit a spark (火花) of curiosity”。故G选项“在这个过程中，我们学到的不仅仅是我们学科的内容”符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“We begin this way, but after the tenth or twentieth or thirtieth time we have taught the subject, that spark of curiosity grows progressively dimmer (暗淡的). Add this to plenty of papers to mark and endless meetings to attend.(我们一开始是这样的，但在教了第十次、第二十次或第三十次之后，那种好奇心的火花逐渐暗淡下来。再加上大量的论文要批改，还有没完没了的会议要参加。)”可知，上文提到教了很多次之后，好奇心的火花逐渐暗淡下来，空处为本段最后一句，应承接上文继续说明后果，A选项中“the spark”对应上文中“that spark of curiosity”。故A选项“在职业生涯中期，这种火花几乎会熄灭”符合语境，故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“One of the things that I found most rewarding about writing for general audiences was deeply personal. It was the thing that relit the spark. It allowed the possibility of being a beginner again and afforded the excitement of learning some new and hard. In this process, you can learn how to write in a different way.(我发现为普通读者写作最有价值的一件事是非常个人化的。这是重新点燃火花的东西。它让一个人有可能再次成为一个初学者，并提供了学习一些新的、困难的东西的兴奋。在这个过程中，你可以学习如何以不同的方式写作。)”以及下文What I have loved was being the student and being amazed at how generous experts often are when encountering a good student.(我喜欢的是当学生，惊讶于专家在遇到好学生时是多么慷慨。)”可知，上文提到为普通读者写作最有价值的事情，下文则提到喜欢当学生，由此可知，空处与上文构成转折关系，说明写论文并不是作者觉得最有价值的事情。故D选项“但是，说实话，这是最没意思的部分”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“When I was ultimately offered a 15-minute appointment with the perfumers, I knew I’d better not waste it. So I studied like mad. I read everything I could find.(当我终于得到一个与调香师15分钟的会面机会时，我知道我最好不要浪费它。所以我疯狂地学习。我读了我能找到的所有东西。)”可知，上文提到作者在会面前做了充分准备，故空处应承接上文说明会面的情况，E选项中“the meeting”对应上文中“a 15-minute appointment”。故E选项“我带着几个好问题参加了会议”符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Along the way, I have found that writing a book for a general audience makes me a better writer, a better professor, and perhaps above all a better teacher.(在这一过程中，我发现为普通读者写一本书让我成为一个更好的作家，一个更好的教授，也许最重要的是，一个更好的老师。)”以及下文“You do not have to know everything. What you have to know is how to be an expert at being an amateur.(你不必知道一切。你要知道的是如何成为一个业余专家。)”可知，上文提到为普通读者写书让自己成为更好的老师，下文则提到成为业余专家，由此可知，空处是在说明作为学生和业余爱好者的感受。故F选项“作为一个学生，为了掌握知识而努力学习，这让我感到谦卑和兴奋”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always admired musicians — how their fingers dance across instruments, creating magic.

He was the kind of neighbor who kept to himself — quiet, precise, and never missed his morning newspaper. Everyone in the building knew him as the man with the unsmiling face and the closed door. Even the other residents gave him space, making no attempt to bridge the gap between them. Then came Ellie. Ellie and her mother moved into 3A — the apartment right next to Mr. Thompson’s. She was eight, full of energy, and extremely curious. From the moment they arrived, Ellie started asking questions about everything and everyone, including the mysterious “man next door”. She wanted to know why he never came out and why he didn’t smile. The first time Ellie knocked on Mr. Thompson’s door, he didn’t answer. The second time, he opened it just wide enough to say, “Please stop bothering me!” Her mother apologized, but Ellie wasn’t discouraged. She felt that maybe he just needed someone to talk to. Every day after school, Ellie left a small drawing or a flower from the park outside his door. Sometimes it was a note: “Hope you’re having a good day.” Mr. Thompson never replied, but the notes kept disappearing. Ellie was convinced that he was reading them. One evening, the building lost power during a storm. Ellie’s mother was working late, and Ellie, frightened by the thunder, sat outside her apartment, hugging her knees. That’s when Mr. Thompson opened his door. He stepped into the dark hallway with a lantern in his hand. “Come inside until your mom gets home,” he said distantly. Ellie hesitated, then nodded, grateful for the warmth of his invitation. Inside, his apartment was neat but comfortable. A chessboard sat on the table. They didn’t talk much that night, but Mr. Thompson made her a cup of warm milk and let her play with a wooden puzzle (拼图) from his bookshelf. The next morning, the power was back. Ellie stood at his door with a thank-you note and a drawing of two people sitting by a chessboard. 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。 Mr. Thompson looked at the drawing for a long time before finally smiling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that week, a small envelope appeared outside Ellie’s door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mr. Thompson looked at the drawing for a long time before finally smiling. He hadn’t smiled in years, not like this. The picture showed a man and a little girl sitting by a chessboard, laughing as they played. He gently placed it on the counter and took a deep breath. For the first time, he felt something awaken inside him — a warmth he hadn’t realized he missed. The thought of the little girl next door, who had brought light into his quiet life, made him feel less alone. It wasn’t just a drawing; it was an invitation. Later that week, a small envelope appeared outside Ellie’s door. Ellie eagerly tore it open and found a handwritten note: “Would you like to play a game of chess?” Beneath the line were a small drawing of a chessboard and several chess pieces. Her heart skipped a beat. Mr. Thompson had never said much, but this felt like the beginning of something special. Ellie smiled widely and rushed to her room to grab her favorite chess pieces. This time, she couldn’t wait to visit Mr. Thompson, who was finally ready to be her friend. 【解析】 【导语】本文以性格孤僻的汤普森先生与充满活力的小女孩埃莉为线索，讲述了埃莉用坚持与善意敲开汤普森先生紧闭的心门，在一次停电事故中两人初次近距离相处，最终汤普森先生被温暖感染、主动回应友谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤普森先生盯着这幅画看了很久，终于笑了。”可知，第一段可描写这幅画如何触动汤普森先生内心尘封的情感，让他感受到久违的温暖与陪伴，从而开始正视埃莉带来的改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“那周晚些时候，埃莉的门外出现了一个小信封。”可知，第二段可描写埃莉拆开信封后发现汤普森先生的邀请，这份迟来的回应不仅是对友谊的接纳，更象征着两颗心的真正靠近。 2. 续写线索：画作触动内心——尘封情感苏醒——信封承载邀请——友谊之门开启——温暖双向流动 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放置：place/put/lay ②拆开：tear open/unfold/unseal ③接纳：accept/embrace/welcome 情绪类 ①温暖：warmth/coziness/hearth ②渴望：eagerly/enthusiastically/anxiously 【点睛】【高分句型1】The picture showed a man and a little girl sitting by a chessboard, laughing as they played.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及as引导时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】The thought of the little girl next door, who had brought light into his quiet life, made him feel less alone.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型3】Beneath the line were a small drawing of a chessboard and several chess pieces.（运用了表方位的介词短语位于句首引出的完全倒装句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$这是盐城市2025届高三考前指导英语卷听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意，回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club.

This guide includes what you need to know to plan your trip. Places to Visit Copenhagen, Denmark Copenhagen offers unique museums that explore its Viking history, guided tours to help travelers experience its everyday life, and historical sites, such as Amalienborg Castle, where the royal family takes their winter holiday. Bergen, Norway You can explore an old-timey fish market or enjoy buildings that date back to the 14th century. Don’t forget to spend some time in the natural beauty of the mountains and the sea surrounding the city. Reykjavik, Iceland You can visit the Blue Lagoon, known for its hot springs. You can also enjoy whale watching and depending on where you go and who you have booked with, you might even have the opportunity to swim with the whales. Helsinki, Finland The most popular tourist attraction is the Suomenlinna Fortress. It holds several shops, restaurants, and museums inside. Best Time to Visit The summer season brings more stability in the weather, making it the perfect time to schedule outdoor adventures. The winter months are ideal for a quieter vacation and give the best opportunity to spot the Northern Lights because of the lack of light pollution. Travel Tips Enjoy all of the free things that Scandinavia offers, including the Northern Lights, the Midnight Sun, and the Polar Nights. Scandinavia’s local cafes usually offer very filling meals for a relatively low cost. If you’re interested in touring museums in Norway, look into getting a city card, which can offer discounts and sometimes free admission. 21. Which of the four destinations allows you to swim with whales? A. Copenhagen, Denmark. B. Bergen, Norway. C. Reykjavik, Iceland. D. Helsinki, Finland. 22. Why is winter a proper time to spot the Northern Lights? A. It provides better visibility. B. It has fewer visitors. C. It is suitable for outdoor activities. D. It is stable in the weather. 23. With a city card in Norway, you may ________. A. enjoy free coffee B. get a price reduction C. have filling meals D. visit natural attractions B Dr Nicola Patron’s office is a little different. Near the window hangs a modern artwork of the plant Nicotiana benthamiana a host on which to grow medicinal or agriculturally useful substances. Here is where engineering, biology and art overlap (重叠). Despite her green fingers, Nicola’s childhood dream was to become an astrophysicist. At 17, she joined a science programme that invited students to grow and observe seeds flown to the International Space Station. “It was the first experimental data I ever had. It’s so fun,” she says. “Meanwhile, I was volunteering for a homeless charity, which made me think about food security and distribution. The combination of these two things shifted what I wanted to do: biological sciences suddenly seemed relevant.” Young Nicola was a few years early for the birth of bioengineering, but technology has since caught up with her ideas. Nicola can now apply engineering principles to biological systems, and guide how plant genes (基因) are expressed. Her lab is working on fungal-resistant (抗真菌的) crops. This resistance is determined by a gene network, where genes regulate each other in a complex process. To speed up this search, Nicola cooperates with mathematicians. Candidate genes can be tested in mathematical models to predict their impact on characteristics like growth and resistance. Finally, Nicola can work on encoding promising genes into a piece of DNA. If proven effective, this could be transformative for food security. In another part of Nicola’s work, she’s trying to identify sustainable ways to produce plant-based medicines. Some medically useful plants aren’t easy to mass produce, making the drug expensive. Fortunately, biologists can program another organism to produce it with high efficiency and low cost. That’s what Nicola is doing with Nicotiana benthamiana. She describes the process as “reading nature’s blueprints and directing its energy to more powerful ends.” 24. What motivated Nicola to pursue biological sciences? A. Her childhood dream of being an astrophysicist. B. Her natural talent for growing seeds from space. C. Her big ideas of combining engineering and biology. D. Her experience in scientific projects and charity work. 25. Why does Nicola use mathematical models in her research? A. To clarify the research process. B. To help select the promising genes. C. To balance growth and resistance. D. To address food security challenges. 26. What is Nicola’s belief in medicinal development? A. Nature should be viewed as a guideline. B. High efficiency should be achieved at all costs. C. Ways should be found to mass produce plants. D. Priority should be given to cost-effective plants. 27. What can we learn about Nicola? A. She was good at art and design. B. Her pioneering idea has been applied. C. She has concerns about drug safety. D. Her inquiring mind drives her to explore. C The history of Hollywood can be told as a series of technological breakthroughs, and each time something new comes along, the industry reorganizes itself. Past breakthroughs, though, have narrower impacts: home video changed movie distribution, digital cameras changed movie production, computer-generated imagery (CGI) changed visual effects. The difference here is that AI has the potential to destroy many places in our production process. AI is developing so rapidly that it’s difficult to predict how it will end and which aspects of the film-making process it will destroy first. Yet the reality of AI’s adoption within Hollywood so far has been considerably less frightening. What was described as an industry earthquake has been more like a slow leaching (渗透) into the topsoil. It’s everywhere and it’s nowhere. It’s invisible and it’s all over the screen. “Many people think that if you type ‘movie’ and press enter, you get a movie,” says Cristóbal Valenzuela, the co-founder of Runway, whose AI-video-generation engines are among the most widely used. “The moment you start using it, you understand: Oh, it’s full of shortcomings.” The critical limitation with generative-AI tools for now is the absence of control. CGI requires hundreds of artists, working one scene at a time — but “you control every pixel (像素),” says Oded Granot, a visual-effects artist working on a Oscar-winning team. Making images with AI requires just a simple prompt (指令）. “You write: ‘I want Spider-Man hanging from a building,’ and it generates it,” Granot explains. But that still leaves countless decisions up to the machine, and you’re stuck with the output. What does the building look like? How is he hanging? Upside-down? Sideways? And that’s a single still image, not a film. Over several months of talking to people around Hollywood about AI, I noticed a pattern: The people who knew the least about its potential uses feared it the most; and the people who understood it best, who had actually worked with it, had the most faith in human creativity, as well as the most doubt about generative AI’s ever replacing it. It was the future of Hollywood, and it looked like its past. 28. What distinguishes AI from previous filming breakthroughs? A. Its ability to increase the production. B. Its role in global movie distribution. C. The extent of its effect on the industry. D. The potential for growth in the future. 29. What can we learn about the reality of AI’s adoption within Hollywood? A. It leads nowhere. B. It is unnoticed but widespread. C. It ends in failure. D. It shakes up the whole industry. 30. Why does the author mention Spider-Man? A. To prove the popularity of the film. B. To emphasize the importance of CGI. C. To demonstrate the process of film production. D. To show the limitation of AI in the film industry. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Fear of AI grows among filmmakers. B. Generative AI kills human creativity. C. The use of AI in filming is unstoppable. D. The film industry will be dominated by AI. D There’s an old saying that those people who are most interested in leading others are least suited to the task. That’s not entirely accurate, yet new research has found a grain of truth in this idea: Many leaders have plenty of ambition to lead, but that’s no guarantee others think they’re effective. “Our society assumes that there is a link between leadership ambition and leadership aptitude,” explains Francis Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior. “We largely rely on opt-in mechanisms to populate (填充) our pools of potential leaders. That assumes that those people who want to lead are the ones who should lead. But is that assumption true?” So Flynn conducted the first systematic study of that relationship. His team asked more than 450 participants in a leadership development program to answer questions about their ambition and rate themselves in 10 areas of competence, including motivating others, coaching people and communicating ideas. The researchers then asked each participant’s managers, peers, and direct reports (直接下属) to rate them on the same competencies. Not surprisingly, these participants scored high on ambition. Yet there was a difference between how they rated their own leadership ability and how the people they worked with rated them. This perception gap was pronounced in 7 of the 10 leadership competencies. While the gap between leaders and their managers and peers was especially noticeable, it was slightly less so between leaders and their direct reports. Anyone involved in the selection and development of leaders should take note of these findings. Flynn recommends using evidence-based assessments to identify the leaders who might be overshadowed by their more ambitious peers. He cites the 360-degree assessment tool used in the study. “Those are very concrete skills being evaluated,” he says. “If people can get that kind of concrete feedback, it might help them measure their leadership accurately.” Another solution is to populate pools of potential leaders with people who should at least be in the running, regardless of their current levels of ambition. “Leader selection should be an opt-out, not an opt-in situation. That will allow space for people who should be considered because they’re talented, not because they overestimate the extent to which they deserve that opportunity,” Flynn says. 32. What does the underlined word “aptitude” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Talent. B. Style. C. Position. D. Experience. 33. What does Flynn’s study focus on? A. The positive effects of leadership ambition. B. The underlying assumption behind ambition. C. The huge impact on leadership development. D. The perception gap in leadership competence. 34. Why did researchers engage participant’s coworkers in the study? A. To increase sample size. B. To support the participants. C. To obtain balanced evaluations. D. To avoid quick conclusions. 35. What is Flynn’s suggestion for the leadership selection process? A. Assess candidates’ current level of ambition. B. Favor candidates from overshadowed groups. C. Develop candidates’ concrete leadership skills. D. Choose candidates with true leadership abilities. 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。 The Art of Being a Good Amateur Learning to do something new and hard requires a growth mindset. All of us who became research experts in our subjects did so because something lit a spark(火花)of curiosity that carried us from being an amateur to an expert. ____36____ What we learned was how to review the field, do the research, and contribute to knowledge. We begin this way, but after the tenth or twentieth or thirtieth time we have taught the subject, that spark of curiosity grows progressively dimmer(暗淡的). Add this to plenty of papers to mark and endless meetings to attend. ____37____ One of the things that I found most rewarding about writing for general audiences was deeply personal. It was the thing that relit the spark. It allowed the possibility of being a beginner again and afforded the excitement of learning some new and hard. In this process, you can learn how to write in a different way. ____38____ What I have loved was being the student and being amazed at how generous experts often are when encountering a good student. I always tell the story of my research when I was writing a book on the history of perfume(香水). When I was ultimately offered a 15-minute appointment with the perfumers, I knew I’d better not waste it. So I studied like mad. I read everything I could find. ____39____ What began as a brief talk turned into an hour or more, because the conversation was so interesting we’d all lost track of the clock. Along the way, I have found that writing a book for a general audience makes me a better writer, a better professor, and perhaps above all a better teacher. ____40____ You do not have to know everything. What you have to know is how to be an expert at being an amateur. A. By mid-career the spark can almost die out. B. You can also rely on the generosity of teachers. C. Being a passionate amateur can relight the spark. D. But, to be honest, it was the least interesting part. E. I went into the meeting armed with a couple of good questions. F. It was humbling and exciting to be a student and to stretch for mastery. G. What we learned in this process was not only the content of our subject. 第三部分 语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always admired musicians — how their fingers dance across instruments, creating magic.

He was the kind of neighbor who kept to himself — quiet, precise, and never missed his morning newspaper. Everyone in the building knew him as the man with the unsmiling face and the closed door. Even the other residents gave him space, making no attempt to bridge the gap between them. Then came Ellie. Ellie and her mother moved into 3A — the apartment right next to Mr. Thompson’s. She was eight, full of energy, and extremely curious. From the moment they arrived, Ellie started asking questions about everything and everyone, including the mysterious “man next door”. She wanted to know why he never came out and why he didn’t smile. The first time Ellie knocked on Mr. Thompson’s door, he didn’t answer. The second time, he opened it just wide enough to say, “Please stop bothering me!” Her mother apologized, but Ellie wasn’t discouraged. She felt that maybe he just needed someone to talk to. Every day after school, Ellie left a small drawing or a flower from the park outside his door. Sometimes it was a note: “Hope you’re having a good day.” Mr. Thompson never replied, but the notes kept disappearing. Ellie was convinced that he was reading them. One evening, the building lost power during a storm. Ellie’s mother was working late, and Ellie, frightened by the thunder, sat outside her apartment, hugging her knees. That’s when Mr. Thompson opened his door. He stepped into the dark hallway with a lantern in his hand. “Come inside until your mom gets home,” he said distantly. Ellie hesitated, then nodded, grateful for the warmth of his invitation. Inside, his apartment was neat but comfortable. A chessboard sat on the table. They didn’t talk much that night, but Mr. Thompson made her a cup of warm milk and let her play with a wooden puzzle (拼图) from his bookshelf. The next morning, the power was back. Ellie stood at his door with a thank-you note and a drawing of two people sitting by a chessboard. 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。 Mr. Thompson looked at the drawing for a long time before finally smiling. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that week, a small envelope appeared outside Ellie’s door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
