18. When was the ability to understand previously believed to reach its best?
A. At the age of 18. B. At the age of 20. C. At the age of 25.
19. Which of the following will Dr. Mischa von Krause probably agree?
A. Our memory starts to decline from the age of 20.
B. Our mental abilities remain unchanged until 70.
C. Our mental processing speed increases in our 20s.
20. Why do older people make decisions more slowly according to the study?
A. They have become more careful.
B. Their mental power has weakened.
C. They are unskilled at getting information.
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Scientists in Germany have cast doubt on a previously believed assumption that the processing speed of our brain starts to decline from the age of 20. Until now, it has been thought that our level of understanding peaks when we are 20 and declines thereafter.
Lead researcher Dr. Mischa von Krause, of Heidelberg University, offered hope to older people who worry about increasing forgetfulness or reduced brainpower. He said mental abilities were still powerful at the age of 60 and do not decrease before then.
The study was based on data from over 1.1 million people aged between 10 and 80 years old. The results showed that our mental processing speed remains relatively constant until the age of 60, but does start to decline from our seventh decade. The researchers said people’s mental processing speed actually increases in their 20s and remains high until 60. Dr. von Krause said until older adulthood, the speed of information processing in the task they studied hardly changed. He added that older people do take longer to make decisions, but said this was because we become more cautious and responsible as we age.

Completed in 1914, the 82-kilometer-long Panama Canal between North and South America is the shortest route between the Atlantic and Pacific. It saves ships more than 11,000 kilometers from going around Cape Horn at South America’s southern tip. Today, about two thirds of traffic through the canal originates or ends in the US. After America, the biggest customer is China, followed by Chile and Japan.
But the fact that a canal exists in Panama is itself a miracle (奇迹). In his book The Path Between the Seas, historian David McCullough detailed the challenges to make the canal possible. After several efforts to dig a canal in Panama were stopped by yellow fever, malaria, and the deaths of 20,000 international workers, the US took over the project.
Wanting to start fresh in 1902, most of the decision-makers in the US government preferred a route through Nicaragua instead of Panama. But a French engineer named Philippe Bunau-Varilla lobbied them to stick with Panama.
The story might be boiled down like this: A week before the vote Bunau-Varilla received a letter from Nicaragua with a stamp that showed Nicaragua’s Momotombo volcano erupting. He visited every stamp shop in Washington, DC and bought 90 copies of the stamp and sent one to each decision-maker. The stamps made a big difference and the final vote in favor of Panama over Nicaragua was 42-32.
For more than a century, Nicaragua hasn’t forgotten the canal it almost had. Last year, Nicaragua’s government approved a plan from a Chinese company to explore a new and improved canal with an oil pipeline, a railway and an airport. The proposed budget for the 170-mile canal is about $40 billion. In an arrangement similar to Panama’s, Nicaragua will start with 10% equity (股权), and gain more each year until it is the only owner a century from now. If everything goes well, Nicaragua’s dream will eventually come true.
24. What can be learned about the Panama Canal?
A. It is about 82 kilometers long.
B. It is the shortest path to Cape Horn.
C. China is its biggest customer at present.
D. The effort to build the canal started in 1902.
25. What does the word “lobbied” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Persuaded. B. Paid.
C. Blamed. D. Forced.
26. Why was the US government’s new plan abandoned?
A. The French government opposed it.
B. The costs were too high for the US.
C. It failed to consider the threat of a volcano.
D. It would take much longer time to carry it out.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Nicaragua’s dreams. B. A new plan for Nicaragua.
C. The Panama Canal contract. D. Risks of a new arrangement.
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍巴拿马运河的基本情况、修建历程中的关键事件,以及尼加拉瓜计划修建新运河的动态。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Completed in 1914, the 82-kilometer-long Panama Canal between North and South America is the shortest route between the Atlantic and Pacific. (1914年建成的巴拿马运河全长82公里,位于南北美洲之间,是大西洋和太平洋之间的最短航线。)”可知,巴拿马运河长度为82公里。故选A项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“Wanting to start fresh in 1902, most of the decision-makers in the US government preferred a route through Nicaragua instead of Panama. But a French engineer named Philippe Bunau-Varilla lobbied them to stick with Panama. (1902年,大多数美国政府决策者希望重新选择尼加拉瓜路线而非巴拿马。但法国工程师菲利普·比诺-瓦里拉……他们坚持选择巴拿马。)”及第四段通过邮票影响投票的细节可知,菲利普·比诺-瓦里拉是想说服美国不要改变运河的选址,所以划线单词的意思与“说服”意义相近。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The story might be boiled down like this: A week before the vote, Bunau-Varilla received a letter from Nicaragua with a stamp that showed Nicaragua’s Momotombo volcano erupting. He visited every stamp shop in Washington, DC and bought 90 copies of the stamp and sent one to each decision-maker. The stamps made a big difference and the final vote in favor of Panama over Nicaragua was 42-32. (这个故事可以简要概括如下:在投票前一周,布诺-瓦里拉(Bunau-Varilla)收到一封来自尼加拉瓜的信,信封上贴着一张邮票,上面印着尼加拉瓜的莫莫通博(Momotombo)火山喷发的画面。他走访了华盛顿特区的每一家邮票商店,买下了90张这种邮票,并将其中每一张都寄给了决策者。这些邮票产生了重要影响,最终投票结果以42票对32票支持了巴拿马而非尼加拉瓜。)”可知,美国政府因尼加拉瓜火山风险放弃其路线。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段中的“Last year, Nicaragua’s government approved a plan from a Chinese company to explore a new and improved canal with an oil pipeline, a railway and an airport. The proposed budget for the 170-mile canal is about $40 billion. In an arrangement similar to Panama’s, Nicaragua will start with 10% equity (股权), and gain more each year until it is the only owner a century from now. (去年,尼加拉瓜政府批准了一项由中国公司提出的计划,建设一条新的、更完善的运河,包括一条石油管道、一条铁路和一座机场。这条全长170英里的运河预计耗资约400亿美元。根据一项类似于巴拿马的安排,尼加拉瓜将首先拥有10%的股权,并逐年获得更多的股份,直到一个世纪后成为唯一的拥有者。)”可知,尾段主要介绍了运河规模、预算及股权分配等,其核心是尼加拉瓜的新运河计划。故选B项。
C
Philosopher Tony Manela is among the philosophers who believe that the single word “gratitude” actually refers to two ideas. The first is “prepositional gratitude” — gratitude to someone for doing something. For example, you might be grateful to a firefighter for saving your life or to your friend for watching your dog while you’re away. The second is “propositional gratitude” — a more abstract gratitude for the fact that things are the way they are. On Thanksgiving, when families sit around the table so that everyone can share something for which they’re grateful, the tendency is toward the second kind of gratitude.
Most of the time, the first sort of gratitude is actually better described as appreciation. Appreciation involves grasping the importance of something, or fully experiencing the value of it. After your first trip abroad, you might appreciate the virtues of your own country. Appreciation usually has an element of enjoyment. By taking a class, you can learn to appreciate opera. After gaining weight in midlife, you might learn to appreciate exercise, in the sense of actually liking it, finally.
But showing appreciation can be very difficult. Suppose that, when it’s your turn to give thanks, you describe an instance of prepositional gratitude: “This year, I’m grateful to my wife for everything she’s done for our new baby daughter.” That seems straightforward enough. But, actually, this kind of gratitude is very odd. Should you be the one feeling grateful for what your wife does for your daughter? By expressing appreciation, you might seem to be holding yourself out as the head of a family business. It could be more accurate to simply appreciate that your wife is a great parent.
There’s also the matter of whether it makes sense to feel grateful to people for doing what they are going to do anyway. If your wife tells you that she is grateful for how you have treated your kids, you might find it odd. Does she expect you to treat them less well?
28. “Propositional gratitude” should be given when ________.
A. you receive a gift from a friend
B. your parents pay for your education
C. your math teacher helps you solve a problem
D. farmers thank dragons for a very good harvest
29. What is usually associated with “appreciation”?
A. Expensive things. B. An element of pleasure.
C. Something abstract. D. Personal responsibilities.
30. How are the last two paragraphs mainly developed?
A. By comparing. B. By reasoning.
C. By quoting famous men. D. By listing examples.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Philosopher’s Opinion on Gratitude.
B. The Necessity of Being Grateful to Others.
C. A Comparison of “Gratitude” and “Appreciation”.
D. Proper Ways to Show Gratitude to Family Members.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“感激”(gratitude)的两种类型,分析了gratitude与appreciation之间的区别和用法。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The second is “propositional gratitude”— a more abstract gratitude for the fact that things are the way they are.(第二种是“命题型感恩”——对事物本身的状态所持有的更抽象的感恩之情。)”可知,命题型感恩是对事物状态的一种抽象感恩,它不针对具体的人或行为,而是对事物本身的一种感激。在选项D中,农民对龙带来的丰收表示感恩,这是一种对事物本身的状态的感恩,符合“命题感恩”的定义。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Appreciation usually has an element of enjoyment.(欣赏通常包含一种享受的元素。)”可知,“appreciation”通常与“一种愉悦的元素”有关。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Suppose that, when it’s your turn to give thanks, you describe an instance of prepositional gratitude: “This year, I’m grateful to my wife for everything she’s done for our new baby daughter.” That seems straightforward enough. But, actually, this kind of gratitude is very odd.(假设轮到你表达感谢时,你描述了一个介词感恩的例子:‘今年,我很感激我的妻子为我们新生的女儿所做的一切。’这看起来很直接。但实际上,这种感恩是非常奇怪的。)”和第四段“If your wife tells you that she is grateful for how you have treated your kids, you might find it odd. Does she expect you to treat them less well.(如果你的妻子告诉你,她很感激你对待孩子的方式,你可能会觉得很奇怪。她是不是希望你以后对他们差一点。)”。由此可知,最后两段主要是通过举例来展开的。故选D。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Philosopher Tony Manela is among the philosophers who believe that the single word “gratitude” actually refers to two ideas.(哲学家Tony Manela是那些认为‘gratitude’实际上包含两种含义的哲学家之一。)”和下文内容可知,文章主要介绍了gratitude和appreciation之间的区别和用法。由此可知,选项C“‘gratitude’和‘appreciation’的比较”是合适的标题。故选C。
D
University students have taken to artificial intelligence in the same way that an anxious new driver with a traditional road map might take to GPS. A survey of UK undergraduates by the Higher Education Policy Institute shows 92% of them are using AI in their schoolwork this year compared with 66% last year.
What should we do? At first, I suggested that teachers should face the reality and try to guide their students to use AI wisely. For example, I asked teachers to give their students AI-written essays and tell the students to improve them, as well as to identify and correct their mistakes. But like many pleasingly neat solutions to complex problems, mine turns out to be a terrible idea.
Maria Abreu, a professor of economic geography at Cambridge University, told me her department had experimented along these lines. But when they gave undergraduates an AI text and asked them to improve it, the results were disappointing. “The improvements were very cosmetic and they didn’t change the structure of the arguments,” she said. “Master students did better, perhaps because they have already had the ability to think critically and structure arguments. The worry is that if we don’t train them to do their own thinking, they are not going to develop that ability at all.”
Michael Veale who is an expert on technology policy, even sees Al as a threat to the learning process because it offers a short-cut to students who are pressed for time and anxious to get good marks. “Our role is to warn them that these short-cuts may limit their potential. We want them to use the best tools for the job in the workplace when the time comes, but that time isn’t always at the beginning,” he says.
The two teachers agree that a focus on maintaining foundational skills in critical thinking, information gathering and problem-solving would help students avoid relying too much on AI in the future.
“In other words, to use the short-cut effectively rather than mindlessly, students need to know how to do it without the short-cut,” Michael Veale explains.
32. What does the author want to show by mentioning a new driver?
A. The potential of traditional maps.
B Students’ strong desire to use AI tools.
C. The possibility of popularizing AI tools.
D. Problems with traditional teaching methods.
33. What did the author suggest teachers do?
A. Encourage students to edit AI-written essays.
B. Simplify the structure of complex arguments.
C. Ask students to write the essays on their own.
D. Guide the students to mark their work with AI.
34. How might Maria Abreu feel about the use of AI tools in middle schools?
A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Unconcerned. D. Skeptical.
35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Ban Al tools from educational institutions.
B. Guide students to use AI as early as possible.
C. Try to urge students to learn the basic skills first.
D. Let students use AI tools when they are pressed for time.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者讨论了学生利用AI学习的现象,认为在学生利用AI工具做作业前需要练好基本功。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“University students have taken to artificial intelligence in the same way that an anxious new driver with a traditional road map might take to GPS. A survey of UK undergraduates by the Higher Education Policy Institute shows 92% of them are using AI in their schoolwork this year compared with 66% last year.(大学生对人工智能的接受程度,就像一个拿着传统地图的焦虑的新手司机对GPS的接受程度一样。英国高等教育政策研究所对英国本科生的一项调查显示,今年92%的本科生在学业中使用人工智能,而去年这一比例为66%。)”可知,作者将大学生对人工智能的接受程度与新手司机对GPS的依赖程度进行了类比,从而强调了学生对使用人工智能工具的强烈愿望。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At first, I suggested that teachers should face the reality and try to guide their students to use AI wisely. For example, I asked teachers to give their students AI-written essays and tell the students to improve them, as well as to identify and correct their mistakes.(起初,我建议教师应该面对现实,并努力引导学生明智地使用人工智能。例如,我要求教师给学生提供人工智能写的文章,并告诉学生改进它们,以及识别和纠正它们的错误。)”可知,作者建议教师让学生编辑人工智能写的文章。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Maria Abreu, a professor of economic geography at Cambridge University, told me her department had experimented along these lines. But when they gave undergraduates an AI text and asked them to improve it, the results were disappointing.(剑桥大学经济地理学教授Maria Abreu告诉我,她的部门已经在这方面进行了实验。但是,当他们给本科生一篇人工智能写的文章,并要求他们改进时,结果令人失望。)”可以推知,Maria Abreu对人工智能工具在中学(低年级)的使用持怀疑态度。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The two teachers agree that a focus on maintaining foundational skills in critical thinking, information gathering and problem-solving would help students avoid relying too much on AI in the future.(这两位老师都认为,注重保持批判性思维、信息收集和解决问题等基础技能,将有助于学生在未来避免过度依赖人工智能。)”可知,作者想传达的信息是督促学生先学习基本技能。故选C。

I know that many of you are overachievers, but it is important to build up what’s on your plate, not to put as much as you can all at once. ____37____!
●Seriously, don’t skip class. What I can tell you is that once you get on the class-skipping train, you might not be able to get off. And then you fall behind on lectures. ____38____. I had to force myself to walk to the classroom every day. Go to class, even if it’s to just turn your brain off.
●Don’t put your hobbies on the sideline. ____39____. They prevent your mind from being buried by the studying you have to do. Sometime last term, my friend took me to the Sage Art Center. She found me a block of wood and I just painted. Instead of worrying about an exam the following week, I could focus on the present.
●____40____. Knowing whether you can sit through multiple one-hour and fifteen-minute classes in a row is extremely crucial, especially if you’re like me and do not have the capacity for three classes in a row. The same goes for whether to sign up for 8 am or 6 pm classes. Know your limits and make your schedule around those limits.
A. Hobbies keep you alive
B. Step out of your comfort zone
C. Create a schedule that works for you
D. Attend optional courses as scheduled
E. Regrettably, I was entirely and absolutely wrong
F. There will be nobody to keep you accountable for lectures
G. Balance can prevent burnout, which is good for you in the long run
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍几个适应大学生活的建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“When I first started college, I thought it was just another four years of school, similar enough to high school so that I could keep the same routine.(当我刚上大学时,我以为这不过又是一段为期四年的学习时光,和高中没什么太大区别,所以我还能维持原来的作息习惯)”及下文“Plenty will change in college, for better and for worse, and there will be a lot of challenges.(在大学里,很多情况都会发生变化,或好或坏,而且会有很多挑战)”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出作者一开始想法与上了大学以后的情况不一致。故E选项“遗憾的是我大错特错”与前后句语义相承,符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Balance, balance, balance! Balance your academic and social life. Balance your work and personal time. Balance your research hours and your own projects. I know that many of you are overachievers, but it is important to build up what’s on your plate, not to put as much as you can all at once.(保持平衡,保持平衡,再保持平衡!要平衡好你的学业与社交生活。要平衡好你的工作与个人时间。要平衡好你用于研究的时间与你自己的项目时间。我知道你们很多人都是佼佼者,但重要的是要逐步充实自己的计划,而不是一下子把能做的事情都做完)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,主要说明了平衡的好处。故G选项“保持均衡的状态可预防倦怠,从长远来看,这对你大有裨益”承接本段前文所述。故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“And then you fall behind on lectures.(然后你就跟不上课程进度了)”及下文“I had to force myself to walk to the classroom every day.(我不得不强迫自己每天步行去教室)”可知,上文提到跟不上课程进度,后文提到强迫自己去上课,推测没人强迫去上课,靠自觉。故F选项“没人强迫你上课”符合。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据本段主题句及下文“They prevent your mind from being buried by the studying you have to do.(它们能让你的大脑免受繁重学习任务的困扰)”可知,本句主要说明业余爱好的作用。故A选项“业余爱好能让你充满活力”符合语境。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据本段主要内容,尤其是“The same goes for whether to sign up for 8 am or 6 pm classes. Know your limits and make your schedule around those limits.(对于是否选择上午 8 点上课还是下午 6 点上课这一问题也是如此。要清楚自己的能力极限,并根据这些极限来安排你的课程表)”可知,本段主要关于如何制定自己的日程的建议。故C选项“制定适合你的日程安排”适合作本段主题句。故选C。

While China is not ____57____ home of the umbrella as the ancient invention — the honor belongs ____58____ Ancient Egypt over 3,500 years ago, China is still one of the earliest sources. Initially umbrellas ____59____ (create) from leaves, but the Chinese were most likely the first to develop umbrellas from silk ____60____ especially oil paper around 2,000 years back.
According to various Chinese historians, the beginnings of the Chinese umbrella involve the smaller parasols (阳伞), ____61____ back then were used not only as a protective measure from rain and the sun’s heat but also as a symbol of power. That is, the ____62____ (big) the umbrella and the more people needed to carry it, the more powerful the person under the umbrella was.
The earliest paper and silk umbrellas were already carefully made with light bamboo, typically ____63____ (weigh) only a few hundred grams. However, they can ____64____(effective) protect against the heavy rain because of the complex process of treating the paper or silk with wax (蜡) or lacquer (漆).
Later on, wax and lacquer were replaced with the more ____65____ (afford) oil, and thus we have the oil-paper umbrellas that are still widely available today.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统纸伞的历史。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:传统的纸伞是中国的原始发明之一,据信自公元1世纪初就在中国存在了。动词believe与其逻辑主语The traditional paper umbrella是逻辑动宾关系,应用过去分词,作状语。故填believed。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意:虽然中国并不是伞的发源地——这项荣誉属于3500多年前的古埃及,但中国仍然是最早的伞的来源之一。根据空后的of the umbrella可知,此处用定冠词the修饰home,表特指。故填the。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。固定搭配belong to“属于”,to是介词。故填to。
【59题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:最初,雨伞是用树叶做成的,但大约2000年前,中国人很可能是第一个用丝绸,尤其是油纸制作雨伞的人。根据空前的Initially可知,此处应用一般过去时,动词create与其主语umbrellas之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be使用were。故填were created。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。根据句意,空前的silk和空后的oil paper为并列关系,应用并列连词and。故填and。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:根据不同的中国历史学家的说法,中国伞的起源包括较小的阳伞,在当时,这不仅是一种保护措施,防止雨水和太阳的热量,而且是权力的象征。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为the smaller parasols(阳伞),指物,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:也就是说,伞越大,需要带的人越多,伞下的人就越有力量。“the+比较级,the+比较级”表示“越……,就越……”,为固定句型。故填bigger。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:最早的纸伞和丝绸伞是用轻竹子精心制作的,通常只有几百克重。weigh和逻辑主语light bamboo之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词,作后置定语。故填weighing。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,它们可以有效地防止大雨,因为它们用蜡或漆处理纸张或丝绸的复杂过程。此处修饰动词protect,应用副词effectively“有效地”,作状语。故填effectively。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:后来,蜡和漆被更便宜的油所取代,因此我们有了今天仍然广泛使用的油纸伞。此处修饰名词oil,应用形容词affordable“便宜的”,作定语。故填affordable。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My name is Jake Reynolds. That year, I was a junior at a high school. I was known for my good grades and honesty, but I encountered a situation that would test my integrity in ways I hadn’t imagined.
It all started with Mr. Lawson’s history class. We had been assigned a major essay on the impacts of World War II, which would account for a significant part of our final grade. The essay was due in two weeks, and I had been tirelessly working on it, staying up late to ensure my research was thorough and my arguments were well organized.
The day before the essay was due, my computer crashed. I panicked as I realized I had lost almost all of my work. I had saved some drafts on a cloud service, but they were outdated and incomplete. It seemed impossible to start over. At that moment, desperation clouded my judgment.
As I sat at my desk, trying to figure out what I could do, my friend Daniel knocked on my door. He was also struggling with his essay and knew I had been working hard on mine. Noticing my worry, he asked if I needed help. I hesitated, but ultimately admitted what had happened.
Daniel looked thoughtful, “You know, I heard about a website that offers ready-made essays. It could be a good idea to try it if you really need to.”
The idea seemed like a lifeline. I knew it was wrong, but the pressure was mounting, and I felt cornered. After a moment’s hesitation, I decided to use the website. I quickly purchased an essay, changed it slightly to make it fit the assignment, and submitted it. I felt a sense of relief, but it was short-lived.
The next morning, Mr. Lawson announced that the essays would be graded using plagiarism (剽窃) detection software. My heart sank, and I knew it wouldn’t take long for the software to catch it.
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。
By the afternoon, my fears were confirmed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing my reflection report, Mr. Lawson asked me to rewrite the essay.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
By the afternoon, my fears were confirmed. Mr. Lawson called me into his office. “Jake,” he began, looking serious, “your essay has been flagged for plagiarism. Can you explain this?” I felt a wave of shame washing over me, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lawson. I used a service to get the essay because my computer crashed, and I couldn’t finish it on time.” Mr. Lawson’s expression softened slightly, “I understand that, but using someone else’s work breaks our academic integrity policy. You have to face the consequence — a zero on the assignment.” Additionally, I was required to write a reflection report on academic integrity.
Seeing my reflection report, Mr. Lawson asked me to rewrite the essay. “Jake, I appreciate your honesty,” he said. “It’s clear you’ve learned from this experience. I want to give you a chance to make up for this mistake.” I accepted gratefully and worked tirelessly to complete a new, original essay. By the end of the term, my grade had improved, and I had regained some of the trust I had lost. The incident had been a tough lesson, painful but rewarding. It reminded me of the value of hard work and honesty.

Completed in 1914, the 82-kilometer-long Panama Canal between North and South America is the shortest route between the Atlantic and Pacific. It saves ships more than 11,000 kilometers from going around Cape Horn at South America’s southern tip. Today, about two thirds of traffic through the canal originates or ends in the US. After America, the biggest customer is China, followed by Chile and Japan.
But the fact that a canal exists in Panama is itself a miracle (奇迹). In his book The Path Between the Seas, historian David McCullough detailed the challenges to make the canal possible. After several efforts to dig a canal in Panama were stopped by yellow fever, malaria, and the deaths of 20,000 international workers, the US took over the project.
Wanting to start fresh in 1902, most of the decision-makers in the US government preferred a route through Nicaragua instead of Panama. But a French engineer named Philippe Bunau-Varilla lobbied them to stick with Panama.
The story might be boiled down like this: A week before the vote, Bunau-Varilla received a letter from Nicaragua with a stamp that showed Nicaragua’s Momotombo volcano erupting. He visited every stamp shop in Washington, DC and bought 90 copies of the stamp and sent one to each decision-maker. The stamps made a big difference and the final vote in favor of Panama over Nicaragua was 42-32.
For more than a century, Nicaragua hasn’t forgotten the canal it almost had. Last year, Nicaragua’s government approved a plan from a Chinese company to explore a new and improved canal with an oil pipeline, a railway and an airport. The proposed budget for the 170-mile canal is about $40 billion. In an arrangement similar to Panama’s, Nicaragua will start with 10% equity (股权), and gain more each year until it is the only owner a century from now. If everything goes well, Nicaragua’s dream will eventually come true.
24. What can be learned about the Panama Canal?
A. It is about 82 kilometers long.
B. It is the shortest path to Cape Horn.
C. China is its biggest customer at present.
D. The effort to build the canal started in 1902.
25. What does the word “lobbied” underlined in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Persuaded. B. Paid.
C. Blamed. D. Forced.
26. Why was the US government’s new plan abandoned?
A. The French government opposed it.
B. The costs were too high for the US.
C. It failed to consider the threat of a volcano.
D. It would take much longer time to carry it out.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Nicaragua’s dreams. B. A new plan for Nicaragua.
C. The Panama Canal contract. D. Risks of a new arrangement.
C
Philosopher Tony Manela is among the philosophers who believe that the single word “gratitude” actually refers to two ideas. The first is “prepositional gratitude” — gratitude to someone for doing something. For example, you might be grateful to a firefighter for saving your life or to your friend for watching your dog while you’re away. The second is “propositional gratitude” — a more abstract gratitude for the fact that things are the way they are. On Thanksgiving, when families sit around the table so that everyone can share something for which they’re grateful, the tendency is toward the second kind of gratitude.
Most of the time, the first sort of gratitude is actually better described as appreciation. Appreciation involves grasping the importance of something, or fully experiencing the value of it. After your first trip abroad, you might appreciate the virtues of your own country. Appreciation usually has an element of enjoyment. By taking a class, you can learn to appreciate opera. After gaining weight in midlife, you might learn to appreciate exercise, in the sense of actually liking it, finally.
But showing appreciation can be very difficult. Suppose that, when it’s your turn to give thanks, you describe an instance of prepositional gratitude: “This year, I’m grateful to my wife for everything she’s done for our new baby daughter.” That seems straightforward enough. But, actually, this kind of gratitude is very odd. Should you be the one feeling grateful for what your wife does for your daughter? By expressing appreciation, you might seem to be holding yourself out as the head of a family business. It could be more accurate to simply appreciate that your wife is a great parent.
There’s also the matter of whether it makes sense to feel grateful to people for doing what they are going to do anyway. If your wife tells you that she is grateful for how you have treated your kids, you might find it odd. Does she expect you to treat them less well?
28. “Propositional gratitude” should be given when ________.
A. you receive a gift from a friend
B. your parents pay for your education
C. your math teacher helps you solve a problem
D. farmers thank dragons for a very good harvest
29. What is usually associated with “appreciation”?
A. Expensive things. B. An element of pleasure.
C. Something abstract. D. Personal responsibilities.
30. How are the last two paragraphs mainly developed?
A. By comparing. B. By reasoning.
C. By quoting famous men. D. By listing examples.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Philosopher’s Opinion on Gratitude.
B The Necessity of Being Grateful to Others.
C. A Comparison of “Gratitude” and “Appreciation”.
D. Proper Ways to Show Gratitude to Family Members.
D
University students have taken to artificial intelligence in the same way that an anxious new driver with a traditional road map might take to GPS. A survey of UK undergraduates by the Higher Education Policy Institute shows 92% of them are using AI in their schoolwork this year compared with 66% last year.
What should we do? At first, I suggested that teachers should face the reality and try to guide their students to use AI wisely. For example, I asked teachers to give their students AI-written essays and tell the students to improve them, as well as to identify and correct their mistakes. But like many pleasingly neat solutions to complex problems, mine turns out to be a terrible idea.
Maria Abreu, a professor of economic geography at Cambridge University, told me her department had experimented along these lines. But when they gave undergraduates an AI text and asked them to improve it, the results were disappointing. “The improvements were very cosmetic and they didn’t change the structure of the arguments,” she said. “Master students did better, perhaps because they have already had the ability to think critically and structure arguments. The worry is that if we don’t train them to do their own thinking, they are not going to develop that ability at all.”
Michael Veale, who is an expert on technology policy, even sees Al as a threat to the learning process because it offers a short-cut to students who are pressed for time and anxious to get good marks. “Our role is to warn them that these short-cuts may limit their potential. We want them to use the best tools for the job in the workplace when the time comes, but that time isn’t always at the beginning,” he says.
The two teachers agree that a focus on maintaining foundational skills in critical thinking, information gathering and problem-solving would help students avoid relying too much on AI in the future.
“In other words to use the short-cut effectively rather than mindlessly, students need to know how to do it without the short-cut,” Michael Veale explains.
32. What does the author want to show by mentioning a new driver?
A. The potential of traditional maps.
B. Students’ strong desire to use AI tools.
C. The possibility of popularizing AI tools.
D. Problems with traditional teaching methods.
33. What did the author suggest teachers do?
A. Encourage students to edit AI-written essays.
B. Simplify the structure of complex arguments.
C. Ask students to write the essays on their own.
D. Guide the students to mark their work with AI.
34. How might Maria Abreu feel about the use of AI tools in middle schools?
A. Satisfied. B. Excited. C. Unconcerned. D. Skeptical.
35. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Ban Al tools from educational institutions.
B. Guide students to use AI as early as possible.
C. Try to urge students to learn the basic skills first.
D. Let students use AI tools when they are pressed for time.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My name is Jake Reynolds. That year, I was a junior at a high school. I was known for my good grades and honesty, but I encountered a situation that would test my integrity in ways I hadn’t imagined.
It all started with Mr. Lawson’s history class. We had been assigned a major essay on the impacts of World War II, which would account for a significant part of our final grade. The essay was due in two weeks, and I had been tirelessly working on it, staying up late to ensure my research was thorough and my arguments were well organized.
The day before the essay was due, my computer crashed. I panicked as I realized I had lost almost all of my work. I had saved some drafts on a cloud service, but they were outdated and incomplete. It seemed impossible to start over. At that moment, desperation clouded my judgment.
As I sat at my desk, trying to figure out what I could do, my friend Daniel knocked on my door. He was also struggling with his essay and knew I had been working hard on mine. Noticing my worry, he asked if I needed help. I hesitated, but ultimately admitted what had happened.
Daniel looked thoughtful, “You know, I heard about a website that offers ready-made essays. It could be a good idea to try it if you really need to.”
The idea seemed like a lifeline. I knew it was wrong, but the pressure was mounting, and I felt cornered. After a moment’s hesitation, I decided to use the website. I quickly purchased an essay, changed it slightly to make it fit the assignment, and submitted it. I felt a sense of relief, but it was short-lived.
The next morning, Mr. Lawson announced that the essays would be graded using plagiarism (剽窃) detection software. My heart sank, and I knew it wouldn’t take long for the software to catch it.
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。
By the afternoon, my fears were confirmed.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing my reflection report, Mr. Lawson asked me to rewrite the essay.
