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 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. C 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和母亲在写作生涯中遇到的困境以及他们如何通过合作和调整方向来克服这些困难，最终成功出版小说的经历，传达了坚持初心、享受过程的重要性。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“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.(合作让写作过程轻松了许多，也有趣得多。我们都盼着坐到电脑前，看看自己不在时故事发生了什么曲折变化。)”可知，作者认为与母亲合作写作的过程轻松且有趣，并期待继续创作。故选A。 【42题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“From experience, we knew the best way to keep from brooding over disappointment: Start a second book.(根据经验，我们知道避免因失望而……的最好办法是：开始写下一本书。)”可推测，面对拒绝时人们容易陷入过度担忧或沮丧。因此，“brooding over”意为“沉思、担忧”。选项C“Worrying deeply about(深深担忧)”与此相符。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“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.”(突然，教练的话在我耳边响起。我说：“也许我们该看看自己要驶向哪里。”我接着说：“这就像开车。我们忘了一起写作的初衷。我们当然想出版，但主要原因是想在共同热爱的事情中找到乐趣。”)”可知，驾驶教练的话让作者和母亲意识到她们偏离了写作的初衷——享受共同创作的乐趣，而非单纯追求出版。这一反思促使她们调整方向，最终写出真正热爱的作品。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段““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. ”(“你说得对。”妈妈长舒一口气，“我已经很久没感受到乐趣了。也许我们该写真正热爱的东西。你知道吗，我们当初写爱情小说只是因为它们流行，但我们的故事里没有真正的灵魂。”)”以及最后一段“The SkyHorse, our young adult novel, was published last year.(去年，我们的青少年小说《天马》出版了。)”可知，她们成功的关键在于放弃迎合流行的爱情小说题材，转而创作真正热爱的内容。故选D。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文以驾驶教练的话“你看向哪里，就会驶向哪里”为核心隐喻，讲述作者和母亲在写作中因偏离初衷而受挫，最终通过回望初心（聚焦热爱）获得成功的故事。选项C“Going where you look(看向哪里，驶向哪里)”直接引用教练的话，呼应全文“目标与方向”的主题，隐喻坚持初衷的重要性，最贴切。故选C。 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. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. B 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项将婴儿与人工智能进行对比的研究，揭示了婴儿在推断行为动机方面的先天能力及其对人工智能发展的启示。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(将婴儿与人工智能置于相同任务中直接对比的新想法，使研究人员能够更好地描述婴儿关于他人的自然知识，并提出将这些知识整合到人工智能中的方法。)”可知，研究人员期待这项研究将有助于建立更智能的人工智能。故选A项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.(具体来说，婴儿通过Zoom观看了一系列简单动画形状在屏幕上移动的视频（类似电子游戏）。这些形状的动作通过检索屏幕上的物体及其他移动来模拟人类的行为和决策。同样，科学家构建并训练了学习驱动型人工智能模型，并测试了这些模型对完全相同视频的反应。)”可知，研究人员在研究中通过测量他们对相同刺激的反应来比较婴儿和人工智能。故选C项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“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.(为了深入理解人类与人工智能能力的差异，Dillon博士的团队对 11 个月大的婴儿进行了一系列实验，并将他们的反应与最先进的学习驱动型人工智能模型的反应进行了对比。具体来说，婴儿通过 Zoom 观看了一系列简单动画形状在屏幕上移动的视频（类似电子游戏）。这些形状的动作通过检索屏幕上的物体及其他移动来模拟人类的行为和决策。同样，科学家构建并训练了学习驱动型人工智能模型，并测试了这些模型对完全相同视频的反应。)”可知，第四段介绍了研究过程。故选B项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“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. (婴儿通过对违背其预测的事件注视更长时间来展示此类预测——这是一种用于评估婴儿知识本质的、已有数十年历史的常见测量方法。)”可知，当婴儿看到意想不到的形状动作时，他们会花更多的时间去观察他们。故选C项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““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.(Dillon博士表示：“人类婴儿的基础知识有限且抽象，反映了我们的进化遗传，但它能够适应婴儿可能生活和学习的任何环境或文化。”)”可知，最后一段暗示了人工智能具有很强的适应性。故选B项。 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. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. D 54. D 55. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“Urgency Culture”的兴起及其带来的影响，如增加的焦虑和压力、对有质量工作的忽视等。作者通过个人经历，分享了如何摆脱紧迫感文化，学会放慢脚步、设定界限，并更好地管理自己的生活。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“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.(在当今快节奏的社会中，“Urgency Culture”正在兴起。这种文化的特点是对即时回应的沉迷、对多任务处理的推崇，以及对全天候待命的期待。)”可知，Urgency Culture的特征包括对即时回应的沉迷、对多任务处理的推崇，以及对全天候待命的期待。选项B“Expectıng others to stay reachable.(期待他人保持可联系状态)”与Urgency Culture的特征相符。故选B。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“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.( Urgency Culture带来的影响包括焦虑和压力的增加。心理健康研究表明，职业和个人倦怠比以往任何时候都更普遍。此外，紧急文化的兴起剥夺了我们从事有意义工作的能力，因为我们继续重视数量而非质量。)”可知，该段主要列举Urgency Culture带来的负面影响，如焦虑、倦怠、忽视工作质量等。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“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.(作为一名项目经理，我不得不学习放慢脚步、远离urgency culture的艺术。我花了十多年时间才放下一长串事情，包括一种错误的信念——认为那些不断打电话给我的人需要我。现在我的手机一直处于静音状态。真正需要联系我的人会给我发消息。我会在工作任务的间隙查看信息，并在我方便的时候回复，而不是在别人认为他们需要我回复的时候。)”可知，作者将手机静音是为了摆脱urgency culture中“即时回应”的习惯，按照自己的节奏处理信息。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But in the long run, you clear the path for better relationships with people who respect and value you more.(但从长远来看，你为与那些更尊重和重视你的人建立更好的关系扫清了道路。)”可知，作者认为设定界限虽然会让一些人离开，但从长远来看会为与更尊重和重视自己的人建立更好的关系扫清道路，即强化有意义的人际关系。故选D。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，作者以自身经历为线索，讲述了作为项目经理如何摆脱Urgency Culture，包括静音手机、设定界限等具体做法，并强调这些改变带来的积极影响（如更好地管理生活、建立优质关系）。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了分享个人经验。故选D。 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. What was the author’s motivation for giving talks and presentations?(no more than 12 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of the author? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. At twelve years old. 57. It means the experience was precious and rewarding. 58. Due to the long, demanding jouney, extreme cold and much pain. 59. To inspire other young people to follow their dreams. 60. She is brave and inspiring because she keeps pursuing dreams persistently despite all difficulties and obstacles. 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的登山经历，并以此激励年轻人要勇敢地追求梦想。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was twelve years old, we travelled together to Alaska to climb Mount Denali, which is the highest peak in North America.(当我十二岁的时候，我们一起去阿拉斯加爬德纳里山，那是北美的最高峰)”可知，作者和父亲一起爬德纳里山时是12岁。故填At twelve years old. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据“Still(尽管如此)”可知，划线句与上句之间为转折关系，结合上句“Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain.(然后在实际的攀登过程中，我的手冻僵了，我感到非常痛苦)”和下句“The colors of the ice, air and sky there were so pure without the pollution we have got so used to everywhere else.(那里的冰、空气和天空的颜色是如此纯净，没有我们在其他地方已经习惯了的污染)”可知，作者认为尽管在攀登中经受了很多的困难和痛苦，但是最终看到了如此纯净的美景，就像彩虹尽头的一罐金子，一切都是珍贵与值得的，故划线句表示“这段经历非常珍贵与值得”。故填It means the experience was precious and rewarding. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“First there was the long, demanding journey down to the ‘frozen continent’.(首先是漫长而艰苦的前往“冰封大陆”的旅程)”和“Then during the actual climb my hands froze and I was in a lot of pain.(然后在实际的攀登过程中，我的手冻僵了，我感到非常痛苦)”可知，作者感到文森山具有挑战性是因为旅程漫长而艰苦，气温极其低下，身体非常痛苦。故填Due to the long, demanding journey, extreme cold and much pain. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams.(我最希望的是，它们能激励其他年轻人追逐自己的梦想)”可知，作者做了许多演讲和报告是为了激励其他年轻人追逐梦想。故填To inspire other young people to follow their dreams. 【60题详解】 开放性问题。根据文章对她登山的具体描述可知，作者不畏艰险，登上了七座著名的山峰，说明她非常的勇敢；根据最后一段“I hope more than anything that they will inspire other young people to follow their dreams.(我最希望的是，它们能激励其他年轻人追逐自己的梦想)”和“I truly believed that one day I was going to stand on the top of the world!(我真的相信有一天我会站在世界之巅！)”可知，作者并未停止自己追逐梦想的脚步，并以自身的经历来激励其他人追逐梦想，说明她是鼓舞人心的。故填She is brave and inspiring because she keeps pursuing dreams persistently despite all difficulties and obstacles. 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假设你是李津。你所在的城市将于9月28日，即孔子（Confucius）诞辰之日定为“汉字书写日”。请你根据以下要点写一封倡议书，发布在校园网上。 1. 设立“汉字书写日”的意义（写汉字的机会减少，人们提笔忘字，字迹潦草……）： 2. 汉字具有悠久的历史，书法是一项传统的艺术，应被传承和保护： 3. 发出倡议。 注意： 1. 词数不少于100： 2. 可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 试题词汇：汉字书写日 Chinese Character Writing Day 书法 calligraphy Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellow students, Our city will set September 28th, the birthday of Confucius, as Chinese Character Writing Day.

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.

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.
