B “Keep your eyes on the road ahead,” my driving instructor said. “You go in the direction you look.”I remembered the remark several years later, when my mom and I reached a crossroads in our writing careers. We’d been writing separately, not making much progress toward our goal of getting published. One day, Mom suggested we write a romance novel together. She thought it would be fun and less tiring if we took turns, since there’d always be something to build from. The idea was appealing and we decided to give it a try. Working together made the process much easier and a lot more fun. We both looked forward to getting to the computer to see what twists(转折)and turns had taken place while we were gone. We both also wanted to make sure the work we left during our respective time was as interesting as we could make it. We finished the first book and began sending it to publishers. Though we got some good comments, rejections piled up(堆积)：Where’s the romance? Sorry, not for us. From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book. Once finished, we bravely sent off our second effort—and did no better. Then the third…After yet another rejection, Mom grew disheartened, wondering if we should give up. Suddenly my driving instructor’s words came back to me. I said, “Maybe we ought to look where we’re going.” I continued, “It’s like driving. We’ve taken our eyes off the reason we started writing together. We want to be published, sure, but the main reason was to have fun doing what we both enjoy.” “You’re right.” Mom let out a long breath. “I haven’t been having fun for quite a while. Maybe we should write something we truly love. You know, we only started writing romances because they’re popular. There’s no real heart in our stories. ” The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year. 41. How did the author feel about writing with her mother? A. Wonderful. B. Nervous. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed. 42. What does the underlined part “brooding over” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Preparing fully for. B. Learning quickly from. C. Worrying deeply about. D. Complaining openly about. 43. What role did the driving instructor’s words play in the author and her mother’s writing career? A. They gave them inspiration of their next book. B. They stopped them from writing a book together. C. They reminded them of their original intention of writing. D. They encouraged them not to give up writing despite criticism. 44. What led to the author and her mother successfully publishing The SkyHorse? A. Writing for young adults. B. Choosing a popular theme. C. Improving their editing process. D. Focusing on their genuine interests. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A journey to romance B. Benefits of potential cowriting C. Going where you look D. Spreading joy through writing C “Adults and even babies can easily make reliable inferences about what drives other people’s actions,” said Dr. Moira Dillon, a researcher at New York University. “Current AI finds these inferences challenging to make.” The novel idea of putting babies and AI head-to-head on the same tasks is allowing researchers to better describe babies’ natural knowledge about other people and suggest ways of integrating that knowledge into AI. “If AI aims to build flexible, commonsense thinkers like human adults become, then machines should draw upon the same core abilities babies possess in detecting goals and preferences,” Dr. Dillon said. To develop a foundational understanding of the differences between humans’ and AI’s abilities; Dr. Dillon’s team conducted a series of experiments with 11-month-old babies and compared their responses to those produced by state-of-the-art learning-driven AI models. Specifically, babies on Zoom watched a series of videos of simple animated shapes moving around the screen — similar to a video game. The shapes’ actions simulated human behavior and decision-making through the retrieval (检索)of objects on the screen and other movements. Similarly, the scientists built and trained learning-driven AI models and tested the models’ responses to the exact same videos. Their results showed that babies recognized human-like motivations even in the simplified actions of animated shapes. Babies predicted that these actions were driven by hidden but consistent goals — for example, the on-screen retrieval of the same object no matter what location it was in and the movement of that shape efficiently even when the surrounding environment changed. Babies demonstrated such predictions by looking longer at events that went against their predictions — a common and decades-old measurement for evaluating the nature of babies’ knowledge. The AI models showed no such evidence of understanding the motivations underlying such actions, revealing that they are missing key foundational principles of commonsense psychology that babies possess. “A human baby’s foundational knowledge is limited, abstract, and reflects our evolutionary inheritance (进化遗传), yet it can accommodate any context or culture in which that baby might live and learn,” Dr. Dillon said. 46. What do the researchers expect of this study? A. It will contribute to building smarter AI. B. It will discover more about baby language. C. It will improve computer science education. D. It will reveal human behavior’s underlying motivations. 47. How did the researchers compare babies and AI in their study? A. By judging their video gaming skills. B. By measuring their ability to recognize patterns. C. By assessing their responses to the same stimuli. D. By testing their understanding of real human actions. 48. In which paragraph can we learn about the process of this study? A. Paragraph 3. B. Paragraph 4. C. Paragraph 5. D. Paragraph 6. 49. What did the babies do when they saw unexpected shape actions? A. They just ignored them. B. They reacted to them later. C. They spent more time observing them. D. They compared them with earlier predictions. 50. What does the last paragraph imply about human intelligence? A. It varies culturally. B. It is highly adaptable. C. It is determined at birth. D. It is at peak in early adulthood. D In today’s fast-paced society, ‘Urgency Culture’ is on the rise. This culture is characterized by an addiction to immediate responses, the praise of multitasking and the expectation of constant availability. Among the impacts of urgency culture are increased anxiety and stress. Research on mental health has established that there is more professional and personal burnout happening than ever before. In addition, the rise of urgency culture takes away our ability to do meaningful work as we continue to value quantity over quality. As a project manager, I had to learn the art of slowing down and stepping away from urgency culture. It’s taken me over a decade to let go of a long list of things, including the false belief of being needed by people who are constantly on the end of a phone ringing me. My phone is now on silent. Those who do need to get in touch, message me. I check my messages when I am in between work tasks, and respond when I can, not when others believe that they need me to. I’ve also gotten much better at laying down boundaries. One boundary is saying ‘No’ to things that will cost me labour with no returns, whether this is physical, emotional, monetary or other. The best part about it is that you notice how many friends, workmates or even close relationships disappear when you stop saying yes to everything. It’s to ugh to realise that they preferred you without boundaries, agreeing to their every request, at the cost of your own emotional well-being. But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more. Now I can manage my life better. The key thing is to acknowledge what you want and if it’s more balance and well-being, walk on a road that will get you there. 51. Which of the following belongs to urgency culture? A. Giving urgent tasks high priority. B. Expectıng others to stay reachable. C. Valuing work quality over quantity. D. Agreeing to others’ requests readily. 52. What does paragraph2 mainly tell us about urgency culture? A. Its harmful effects. B. Its main characteristics. C. Its popularity. D. Its definition. 53. Why does the author put his phone on silent? A. To escape frequent social activities. B. To overcome his addiction to the phone. C. To avoid interruption from the project manager. D. To break his habit of making immediate responses. 54. What is the author’s view on setting boundaries? A. It leads to emotional distance. B. It prevents professional growth. C. It improves personal independence. D. It strengthens meaningful relationships. 55. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To warn people of the negative effects of urgency culture. B. To call for people to stop saying yes to everyone. C. To introduce the concept of urgency culture. D. To share his own experience of stepping away from urgency culture. 第Ⅱ卷(共35分) 第三部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。 I’m lucky enough to have come from a family of mountaineers, so I have been climbing for as long as I can remember. But it’s particularly thanks to my father that I started tackling serious peaks at such a young age. When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America. The following year, I joined a youth expedition (探险) to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. After this, I went on to climb tough peaks in Australia, Argentina and Russia, each time with a different team. Most times the difficulty was in finding sponsors willing to help fund my trip. In December of the year I turned 19, I headed out to Mount Vinson in the Antarctic. This turned out to be the most challenging expedition I had done so far. First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’. We took a flight to southern Chile and then caught a cargo plane (货机) on to the Antarctic, with no heating, real seats or windows. Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain. Still, this experience was like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The colors of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else. By this time, I had gained a lot of experience and felt I was ready for ‘the big one’, Mount Qomolangma. It stands at 8,848.86 meters high and is not only the highest mountain on Earth but possibly the most unforgiving, too. Since returning from Qomolangma I’ve been giving a series of talks and presentations on my expeditions. I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams. I had taken 68 flights along my journey to reach the seven summits (顶峰). But I never doubted what I was doing. I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world! 56. When did the author climb Mount Denali with her father?(no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?(no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did the author find Mount Vinson challenging?(no more than 15 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 59.

Nowadays, due to the wide use of digital devices, we seldom write by hand. As a result, many people often forget how to write characters and their handwriting becomes poor. As is known, Chinese characters, with a long history, play a significant role in our culture. Moreover, calligraphy, a traditional art of writing Chinese characters, is part of our precious cultural heritage. Thus, let’s take this opportunity to write more, and we can start by writing neatly in our daily homework. Let’s work together to promote the beauty of Chinese characters.
