Wei Yuansong is the director of the Laboratory of Water Pollution Control Technology. In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water.
Wei says that his connection to Sri Lanka began in August 2013, when he received an email about collaboration (合作) on water treatment to address Kidney Disease, which was a major public health issue in Sri Lanka, with over 40,000 people affected by the disease since the mid-1990s. In 2016, then Sri Lankan President referred to it as a “national disaster” that was affecting 20,828 patients and causing 5,000 deaths a year.
In August 2014, Wei made his first visit to Sri Lanka to start an arduous research journey with Weragoda, a Sri Lanka scientist. Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says. The two scientists had to hold difficult conversations to win their trust, but were eventually welcomed to take extremely important samples (样本) for their research.
Following some research and detailed discussions between the two sides, a deal was inked in March 2015, enabling joint research into the causes of Kidney Disease and-drinking water safety. Since then, Wei has frequented Sri Lanka with other Chinese scientists to conduct thorough research into water treatment solutions suitable for local conditions.
Local residents now trust Chinese scientists wholeheartedly. Villagers with kidney disease say they haven’t had to go to hospital for years thanks to the help of Chinese scientists.
This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC. “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said.
4. Why did the villagers write a thank-you letter to Wei Yuansong?
A. For his help with water treatment.
B. For his research on public health.
C. For his contribution to their economy.
D. For his efforts to fight Kidney Disease.
5. What does the underlined word “arduous” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Time-consuming. B. Difficult.
C. Ground-breaking. D. Dangerous.
6. What was the first reaction of the villagers to the Chinese scientists?
A. They were excited. B. They were surprised.
C. They were worried. D. They were uninterested.
7. Which of the following can best describe Wei Yuansong?
A. Curious and professional. B. Patient and adventurous.
C. Devoted and determined. D. Thoughtful and enthusiastic.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了魏源送帮助斯里兰卡村民对抗肾病,通过科研合作带来积极影响的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water.(在他的办公室抽屉里,有一封由整个斯里兰卡村庄写的感谢信,信中回忆了长达十年的与一种致命疾病——肾病的斗争,由于缺乏安全的饮用水,这种疾病多年来一直困扰着村民)”可知,村民们给魏源送写感谢信是为了感谢他在对抗肾病方面做出的努力。故选D项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders.(每天,他们沿着崎岖的道路行驶数小时,深入受影响地区,并到村民家中探访。但他们遭到了冷遇)”可知,魏源送和Weragoda的科研之旅是很艰难的,由此可推知arduous的意思是“艰难的”,与Difficult意义相近。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says.(他们遭到了冷遇。“许多当地居民认为,中国人和其他人一样,是来写论文的,而不是真心想帮助他们,”魏说)”可知,村民们最初认为中国人不是真心帮助他们,对中国科学家的反应是不感兴趣的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC. “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said.(今年7月,魏参加了在JRDC举办的一个研究研讨会。“这是我第31次去斯里兰卡。我们的目标是通过科学合作为斯里兰卡人民带来更多利益,”他说)”以及前文描述魏源送多次前往斯里兰卡进行科研合作,帮助当地村民对抗肾病,可推知,魏源送是敬业且坚定的。故选C项。

Fast food has become our common partner in the modern life. But we may be unaware of how it is reshaping our culture and the way we interact in society.
Fast food has been gradually replacing the traditional family meal. Dinner used to be a time to slow down, when kids learned from their parents. Today, quality has given way to speed. The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past.
In addition, the global spread of fast food has led to sameness across borders. Fast food chains offer almost the same menu whether you’re in Mumbai or Miami. They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering.
Fast food, despite its convenience, often comes at a cost. Fast-food chains are often found in lower-income neighborhoods. This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. When people say you are what you eat, it’s not just about physical health. It’s also about the social structures. Fast-food culture worsens the unfairness already present in our society.
We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change.
It’s time we treated food as more than just a short stop to rest and eat in our busy day. Its meaning lies in the richness of our traditions, the diversity of our cultures, and the relationships we develop. Let’s not let fast food take this away from us.
8. What does “fast-food culture” represent?
A. A way of slow life. B. A lack of patience.
C. A focus on quality. D. A return to traditions.
9. Why does the author compare fast-food chains to a bulldozer?
A. They reduce food cultural diversity. B. They develop better eating habits.
C. They promote local food traditions. D. They gain worldwide popularity.
10. What does the underlined phrase “a vicious cycle” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Poor people eat more fast food. B. Healthy food becomes expensive.
C. The gap between rich and poor widens. D. Fast food does harm to physical health.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards fast food?
A. Completely negative and viewing it dangerous.
B. Extremely doubtful and not caring about it.
C. Supportive but warning of its harmful effects.
D. Concerned but recognizing its practical value.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了快餐文化正重塑生活方式、削弱文化多样性并加剧社会不公,呼吁重视其负面影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past. (“快餐文化”一词不仅仅局限于餐饮——它代表了一种生活方式,在这种生活方式中,耐心已经成为过去。)”可知,“快餐文化”代表着缺乏耐心。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering. (它们就像推土机一样。它抹平了各种各样的烹饪传统,取而代之的是一刀切的做法。)”可知,作者将快餐连锁店比作推土机是因为它们减少了食物文化的多样性。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. (这造成了“食物荒漠”——人们很难获得负担得起的健康食品。其结果是一个a vicious cycle。那些最负担不起不良饮食习惯对健康影响的人最终却吃了最多的快餐。)”可知,由于很难获得负担得起的健康食品,最负担不起不良饮食习惯对健康影响的人,即穷人最终却吃了最多的快餐,从而进一步危害健康,由此可推知,a vicious cycle指的是“穷人吃更多的快餐”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change. (我们可能无法完全避免快餐。毕竟,它在现代快节奏的世界中有一席之地。然而,认识到它对健康和社会结构的危害是改变的第一步。)”可知,作者认为快餐在现代快节奏的世界中有一席之地,但同时也认识到它对健康和社会结构的危害,由此可推知,作者对快餐的态度是“既担忧又认可其实用价值”。故选D项。
D
Many have thought about how AI could change the world, not least schools. Plenty fear the worst. The college paper has been pronounced dead, and AI is causing an educational “crisis (危机)”, says Inside Higher Ed. Maybe so, but AI could also be a teacher’s friend.
It is easier to see the crisis. AI’s complication and creativity worries lots of teachers and schools. New York City public schools banned (禁止) AI in January, only to change the decision in May. Some universities abroad have banned its use.
“At first, everybody was thinking that the sky was falling,” says Jonathan Torres, an assistant professor of English at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. With AI as a helper, the teacher might ask the students to assess (评估) and revise AI’s response to the same question — a more difficult task. AIs have other practical uses for teachers. They can help write lesson plans at different reading levels and even in different languages. They can also cut down the time spent on duties, such as writing recommendation letters, saving time that could be spent teaching.
Some organizations are going even further. Khan Academy, an education non-profit, recently launched a program, using AI to support students and teachers. If students get a wrong answer to a Maths problem, AI helps them solve it on their own. In science, the program assesses open-ended questions. In English class, it asks students questions about their papers. And in history, a student can discuss with AI to prepare for an in-class discussion.
The program provides teachers with a report on their students’ activities. The AI tool Khanmigo can help teachers create lessons and test students’ knowledge afterwards. It can support students in different languages. It even allows students to “talk” to historical figures or literary characters through simulations (模拟). “This gives us the opportunity to give every student a one-on-one teacher, every teacher a teaching helper, and more,” says Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy.
12. What attitude did New York City public schools hold towards AI at first?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Understanding. D. Delighted.
13. What can teachers do with AI as a helper?
A. Create multi-level lesson plans.
B. Give students difficult homework.
C. Carry out practical teaching activities.
D. Cut down their teaching time in class.
14. What does Sal Khan say about the potential of AI in education?
A. It will remove the need for teachers.
B. It will make the college education outdated.
C. It can free teachers from preparing for lessons.
D. It can provide students with personalized learning.
15. What could be a suitable title for this article?
A. The Future of Education with AI
B. The Impact of Banning AI in Schools
C. AI Can Benefit Teachers and Schools
D. It’s High Time to Make Use of AI
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能给教育带来危机的同时,也能为教师提供帮助并支持学生学习。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“New York City public schools banned (禁止) AI in January, only to change the decision in May. (纽约市公立学校于1月禁止使用人工智能,但在5月改变了这一决定)”可知,纽约市公立学校起初对人工智能持消极态度。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“AIs have other practical uses for teachers. They can help write lesson plans at different reading levels and even in different languages. (人工智能对教师还有其他实际用途。它们可以帮助编写不同阅读水平甚至不同语言的课程计划)”可知,在人工智能的帮助下教师可以创建多层次的教案。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““This gives us the opportunity to give every student a one-on-one teacher, every teacher a teaching helper, and more,” says Sal Khan. the founder of Khan Academy. (“这让我们有机会给每个学生一个一对一的老师,每个老师一个助教,甚至更多,”可汗学院的创始人萨尔·可汗说)”可知,萨尔·可汗认为人工智能可以为每个学生提供一个一对一的老师,即为每个学生提供个性化的学习。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Maybe so, but AI could also be a teacher’s friend.(也许是这样,但人工智能也可以是老师的朋友)”以及最后一段““This gives us the opportunity to give every student a one-on-one teacher, every teacher a teaching helper, and more,” says Sal Khan. the founder of Khan Academy. (“这让我们有机会给每个学生一个一对一的老师,每个老师一个助教,甚至更多,”可汗学院的创始人萨尔·可汗说)”可知,文章主要讲述了人工智能对教师和学校的好处,所以“人工智能可以使教师和学校受益”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
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。
Seeing through spoofers (骗子)
When we meet people face to face we seldom have to worry that people aren’t who they claim (声称) to be. But online, things are different. Spoofing — when someone pretends to be a person or company you trust — is a common trick used by spoofers. ____16____
A spoofing trick can take many forms, such as an email, text, or phone call. For example, you might get an email that appears to be from an online store. It might say that your bank account has been accessed and ask you to click a link to change the password. ____17____ Instead of protecting your account, you’re giving away your login details to the spoofers.
____18____ You might get a direct message on social media from a “friend”, telling you to click on a link to watch a funny video. But when you do, you unknowingly download software that allows the spoofer to monitor your activity.
Some of these spoof communications are so well-made that it’s hard to tell they’re false (假的). However, there are some methods you can use to see through spoofers.
You can avoid lots of traps simply by checking email addresses and links carefully. If an email claims to be from a company, compare the sender’s address to past real ones. ____19____ But small differences, like “Amazon. com,” are red flags.
It’s also wise to always be watchful. ____20____ If a “friend” sends a strange link, call them to make sure they have actually sent the link. Similarly, if someone claiming to be from your bank calls asking for personal information, hang up immediately. Banks never request such details over the phone.
In fact, if you’re unsure about the message, ignore it. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
A. The link might take you to a false website.
B. Another typical example involves social media.
C. Check the websites’ security before entering data.
D. Always confirm the source of unexpected messages.
E. However, spotting false messages can be challenging.
F. Sometimes, these emails even use real company logos.
G. Never share passwords or bank information with strangers.
【答案】16. E 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了网络诈骗的常见形式及识别方法,提醒人们保持警惕以防受骗。
【16题详解】
由上文“Spoofing — when someone pretends to be a person or company you trust—is a common trick used by spoofers. (网络诈骗——有人伪装成你信任人或公司——是骗子常用的手段)”以及下文对各种诈骗形式的描述可知,空处应引出识别虚假信息有难度这一话题,起到承上启下的作用。E选项“然而,识别虚假信息可能具有挑战性”中However表示转折,与上文形成对比,spotting false messages与下文对诈骗形式的描述相呼应,符合语境。故选E。
【17题详解】
由上文“For example, you might get an email that appears to be from an online store. It might say that your bank account has been accessed and ask you to click a link to change the password. (例如,你可能会收到一封看似来自网上商店的电子邮件。它可能会说你的银行账户已被访问,并要求你点击链接更改密码)”可知,这里在描述一种常见的诈骗邮件场景,接下来要说明点击链接后的后果。A选项“这个链接可能会带你进入一个虚假网站”进一步解释了诈骗邮件的危害,符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
由下文“You might get a direct message on social media from a ‘friend’, telling you to click on a link to watch a funny video. But when you do, you unknowingly download software that allows the spoofer to monitor your activity. (你可能会在社交媒体上收到来自“朋友”的私信,让你点击链接观看一个有趣的视频。但当你这样做时,你会在不知不觉中下载软件,让骗子监控你的活动)”可知,这里是在举例说明社交媒体上的诈骗情况。B选项“另一个典型的例子涉及社交媒体”中social media是关键词,引出了下文的内容,符合语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
由上文“You can avoid lots of traps simply by checking email addresses and links carefully. If an email claims to be from a company, compare the sender’s address to past real ones. (你只需仔细检查电子邮件地址和链接,就可以避开很多陷阱。如果一封电子邮件声称来自某家公司,将发件人的地址与过去的真实地址进行比较)”可知,这里在讲识别诈骗邮件的方法,接下来可能会提到一些诈骗邮件的特征。F选项“有时,这些电子邮件甚至会使用真实的公司标志”进一步说明了诈骗邮件的迷惑性,符合语境。故选F。
【20题详解】
由下文“If a ‘friend’ sends a strange link, call them to make sure they have actually sent the link. Similarly, if someone claiming to be from your bank calls asking for personal information, hang up immediately. (如果“朋友”发送了一个奇怪的链接,打电话给他们确认他们是否真的发送了链接。同样,如果有人自称来自你的银行,打电话索要个人信息,立即挂断电话)”可知,这里在强调要确认意外信息的来源。D选项“总是要确认意外消息的来源”概括了下文的内容,符合语境。故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Dave was in his car driving home. Work had been longer today than most days. His wife was expecting him home soon for dinner but he knew he would be late. Up ahead on the road there was a car that was pulled off to the side of the road. A gentleman in decent office clothing was standing at the tire (轮胎), looking quite confused.
“I should stop and help,” Dave thought. “But I’m already late... Maybe he can just call the policemen or a friend to come to get him.”
It was late November and in the mountains of Virginia it-was dark and cold. Dave already felt the guilt (内疚) of not stopping to help. “It’s cold... cell phone service is weak in these areas... what if he decided to walk... he can’t defend himself if an animal comes out of the woods.”
Led by guilt, Dave pulled in front of the broken down car and shut off his engine. “Need some help?” Dave yelled out. Now walking past the headlights he found a medium height older man, somewhere in his 60’s. “I have a flat tire. I’m a little ashamed to say I don’t know how to put on my spare tire.” Dave nodded. He put his hands in his jacket. “No worries. I’ll have you fixed up in no time. I own the car repair shop in town.”
Dave walked to the trunk of the car and took out the spare tire and tools. He took off the flat tire and placed the new one on quickly. “Could I give you some cash?” asked the old man. “No, I can’t take any cash. It was my pleasure to help. Now just promise me you will go straight home.” The old man laughed, “okay, fair deal. I promise, I’ll go straight home.” They shook hands and Dave turned around and started walking back towards his truck.
“This cold air...” he thought to himself, finding himself unwell. Dave felt his chest (胸部) tightening. He felt short of breath. He needed to sit down. He put his hand on his chest. He had to stop. The pain coming from his chest was so sharp. He felt breathless. Then his mind went blank.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph one:
A few hours later, Dave came to himself, quickly realizing he was in the hospital.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph two:
“You had a heart attack,” said the old man, “and I actually am a heart doctor.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
A few hours later, Dave came to himself, quickly realizing he was in the hospital. The white walls and the smell of medicine surrounded him, and a nurse explained that he had been brought in by an old man. Just then, the old man walked into the room, with his face showing relief. Dave remembered helping him with a flat tire on the road, but now felt confused about how he ended up here. The old man explained that after Dave left, he saw him collapse by his truck and immediately called for an ambulance.
“You had a heart attack,” said the old man, “and I actually am a heart doctor.” Dave was shocked to hear this. The old man continued that when he found Dave unconscious, his medical training kicked in. He performed first aid and kept Dave stable until the ambulance arrived. “Your kindness in stopping to help me might have saved your own life,” the old man said. Dave felt a rush of gratitude. It was then that he realized that small acts of help can create unexpected connections and make a big difference in others’ lives.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Dave在寒冷夜晚帮助一位老人换轮胎,之后自己却因心脏病发作昏倒,而这位老人恰好是心脏科医生并及时救助了他,最终Dave意识到善举能带来意想不到的回报的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几个小时后,Dave苏醒过来,很快意识到自己在医院里。”可知,第一段可描写Dave在医院醒来后的情况,老人表示自己救了Dave。
②由第二段首句内容““你心脏病发作了,”老人说,“我其实是一名心脏病医生。””可知,第二段可描写老人向Dave解释事情的经过,以及Dave的感悟。
2.续写线索:在医院醒来——老人出现并解释——Dave得知老人是医生——老人讲述救助过程——Dave心怀感激——感悟
3.词汇激活

Wei Yuansong is the director of the Laboratory of Water Pollution Control Technology. In his office drawer is a thank-you letter written by an entire Sri Lankan village, containing memories of a decade-long fight against a killer, Kidney (肾) Disease, which had troubled villagers for years because of their lack of safe drinking water.
Wei says that his connection to Sri Lanka began in August 2013, when he received an email about collaboration (合作) on water treatment to address Kidney Disease, which was a major public health issue in Sri Lanka, with over 40,000 people affected by the disease since the mid-1990s. In 2016, then Sri Lankan President referred to it as a “national disaster” that was affecting 20,828 patients and causing 5,000 deaths a year.
In August 2014, Wei made his first visit to Sri Lanka to start an arduous research journey with Weragoda, a Sri Lanka scientist. Each day, they traveled for hours along rough roads deep into the affected areas, and paid home visits to villagers. They were greeted with cold shoulders. “Many local residents thought that the Chinese, like others, were there to write papers, not to sincerely help them,” Wei says. The two scientists had to hold difficult conversations to win their trust, but were eventually welcomed to take extremely important samples (样本) for their research.
Following some research and detailed discussions between the two sides, a deal was inked in March 2015, enabling joint research into the causes of Kidney Disease and-drinking water safety. Since then, Wei has frequented Sri Lanka with other Chinese scientists to conduct thorough research into water treatment solutions suitable for local conditions.
Local residents now trust Chinese scientists wholeheartedly. Villagers with kidney disease say they haven’t had to go to hospital for years thanks to the help of Chinese scientists.
This July, Wei attended a research workshop at the JRDC. “This is my 31st trip to Sri Lanka. We aim to bring more benefits to the Sri Lankan people through scientific cooperation,” he said.
4 Why did the villagers write a thank-you letter to Wei Yuansong?
A. For his help with water treatment.
B. For his research on public health.
C. For his contribution to their economy.
D. For his efforts to fight Kidney Disease.
5. What does the underlined word “arduous” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Time-consuming. B. Difficult.
C. Ground-breaking. D. Dangerous.
6. What was the first reaction of the villagers to the Chinese scientists?
A. They were excited. B. They were surprised.
C. They were worried. D. They were uninterested.
7. Which of the following can best describe Wei Yuansong?
A. Curious and professional. B. Patient and adventurous.
C. Devoted and determined. D. Thoughtful and enthusiastic.

Fast food has become our common partner in the modern life. But we may be unaware of how it is reshaping our culture and the way we interact in society.
Fast food has been gradually replacing the traditional family meal. Dinner used to be a time to slow down, when kids learned from their parents. Today, quality has given way to speed. The phrase “fast-food culture” extends beyond meals — it represents a way of life where patience has become a thing of the past.
In addition, the global spread of fast food has led to sameness across borders. Fast food chains offer almost the same menu whether you’re in Mumbai or Miami. They’re like a bulldozer (推土机). It flattens varied cooking traditions and replaces them with a one-size-fits-all offering.
Fast food, despite its convenience, often comes at a cost. Fast-food chains are often found in lower-income neighborhoods. This has created “food deserts” areas where affordable, healthy food is limited. The result is a vicious cycle (恶性循环). Those who can least afford the health impacts of bad eating habits end up eating the most fast food. When people say you are what you eat, it’s not just about physical health. It’s also about the social structures. Fast-food culture worsens the unfairness already present in our society.
We may not be able to completely avoid fast food. After all, it has its place in a modern, fast- paced world. However, recognizing its harm to health and social structures is the first step towards change.
It’s time we treated food as more than just a short stop to rest and eat in our busy day. Its meaning lies in the richness of our traditions, the diversity of our cultures, and the relationships we develop. Let’s not let fast food take this away from us.
8. What does “fast-food culture” represent?
A. A way of slow life. B. A lack of patience.
C. A focus on quality. D. A return to traditions.
9. Why does the author compare fast-food chains to a bulldozer?
A. They reduce food cultural diversity. B. They develop better eating habits.
C. They promote local food traditions. D. They gain worldwide popularity.
10. What does the underlined phrase “a vicious cycle” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Poor people eat more fast food. B. Healthy food becomes expensive.
C. The gap between rich and poor widens. D. Fast food does harm to physical health.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards fast food?
A. Completely negative and viewing it dangerous.
B. Extremely doubtful and not caring about it.
C. Supportive but warning of its harmful effects.
D. Concerned but recognizing its practical value.
D
Many have thought about how AI could change the world, not least schools. Plenty fear the worst. The college paper has been pronounced dead, and AI is causing an educational “crisis (危机)”, says Inside Higher Ed. Maybe so, but AI could also be a teacher’s friend.
It is easier to see the crisis. AI’s complication and creativity worries lots of teachers and schools. New York City public schools banned (禁止) AI in January, only to change the decision in May. Some universities abroad have banned its use.
“At first, everybody was thinking that the sky was falling,” says Jonathan Torres, an assistant professor of English at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. With AI as a helper, the teacher might ask the students to assess (评估) and revise AI’s response to the same question — a more difficult task. AIs have other practical uses for teachers. They can help write lesson plans at different reading levels and even in different languages. They can also cut down the time spent on duties, such as writing recommendation letters, saving time that could be spent teaching.
Some organizations are going even further. Khan Academy, an education non-profit, recently launched a program, using AI to support students and teachers. If students get a wrong answer to a Maths problem, AI helps them solve it on their own. In science, the program assesses open-ended questions. In English class, it asks students questions about their papers. And in history, a student can discuss with AI to prepare for an in-class discussion.
The program provides teachers with a report on their students’ activities. The AI tool Khanmigo can help teachers create lessons and test students’ knowledge afterwards. It can support students in different languages. It even allows students to “talk” to historical figures or literary characters through simulations (模拟). “This gives us the opportunity to give every student a one-on-one teacher, every teacher a teaching helper, and more,” says Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy.
12. What attitude did New York City public schools hold towards AI at first?
A Supportive. B. Negative. C. Understanding. D. Delighted.

Seeing through spoofers (骗子)
When we meet people face to face, we seldom have to worry that people aren’t who they claim (声称) to be. But online, things are different. Spoofing — when someone pretends to be a person or company you trust — is a common trick used by spoofers. ____16____
A spoofing trick can take many forms, such as an email, text, or phone call. For example, you might get an email that appears to be from an online store. It might say that your bank account has been accessed and ask you to click a link to change the password. ____17____ Instead of protecting your account, you’re giving away your login details to the spoofers.
____18____ You might get a direct message on social media from a “friend”, telling you to click on a link to watch a funny video. But when you do, you unknowingly download software that allows the spoofer to monitor your activity.
Some of these spoof communications are so well-made that it’s hard to tell they’re false (假的). However, there are some methods you can use to see through spoofers.
You can avoid lots of traps simply by checking email addresses and links carefully. If an email claims to be from a company, compare the sender’s address to past real ones. ____19____ But small differences, like “Amazon. com,” are red flags.
It’s also wise to always be watchful. ____20____ If a “friend” sends a strange link, call them to make sure they have actually sent the link. Similarly, if someone claiming to be from your bank calls asking for personal information, hang up immediately. Banks never request such details over the phone.
In fact, if you’re unsure about the message, ignore it. After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
A. The link might take you to a false website.
B. Another typical example involves social media.
C. Check the websites’ security before entering data.
D. Always confirm the source of unexpected messages.
E. However, spotting false messages can be challenging.
F. Sometimes, these emails even use real company logos.
G. Never share passwords or bank information with strangers.

47. 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。
Dave was in his car driving home. Work had been longer today than most days. His wife was expecting him home soon for dinner but he knew he would be late. Up ahead on the road there was a car that was pulled off to the side of the road. A gentleman in decent office clothing was standing at the tire (轮胎), looking quite confused.
“I should stop and help,” Dave thought. “But I’m already late... Maybe he can just call the policemen or a friend to come to get him.”
It was late November and in the mountains of Virginia it-was dark and cold. Dave already felt the guilt (内疚) of not stopping to help. “It’s cold... cell phone service is weak in these areas... what if he decided to walk... he can’t defend himself if an animal comes out of the woods.”
Led by guilt, Dave pulled in front of the broken down car and shut off his engine. “Need some help?” Dave yelled out. Now walking past the headlights he found a medium height older man, somewhere in his 60’s. “I have a flat tire. I’m a little ashamed to say I don’t know how to put on my spare tire.” Dave nodded. He put his hands in his jacket. “No worries. I’ll have you fixed up in no time. I own the car repair shop in town.”
Dave walked to the trunk of the car and took out the spare tire and tools. He took off the flat tire and placed the new one on quickly. “Could I give you some cash?” asked the old man. “No, I can’t take any cash. It was my pleasure to help. Now just promise me you will go straight home.” The old man laughed, “okay, fair deal. I promise, I’ll go straight home.” They shook hands and Dave turned around and started walking back towards his truck.
“This cold air...” he thought to himself, finding himself unwell. Dave felt his chest (胸部) tightening. He felt short of breath. He needed to sit down. He put his hand on his chest. He had to stop. The pain coming from his chest was so sharp. He felt breathless. Then his mind went blank.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph one:
A few hours later, Dave came to himself, quickly realizing he was in the hospital.

Paragraph two:
“You had a heart attack,” said the old man, “and I actually am a heart doctor.”
