【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章围绕电动自行车展开,介绍了四款不同型号电动自行车以及适用的人群两方面进行说明,帮助读者根据自身需求选择合适的电动自行车。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“The bicycle fever is back, but this time it has gone electric. According to NPD Group which tracks the bicycle industry, electric bike sales have more than doubled since 2019. And their popularity is still on the rise. Confirm your need and pick the electric bike that’s best for you.(自行车热潮再度来袭,不过这次是电动自行车。据追踪自行车行业的NPD集团称,自2019年以来,电动自行车的销量已翻了一倍多。而且其受欢迎程度仍在上升。确认您的需求,选择最适合您的电动自行车)”可推断,本文旨在推销电动自行车,文章来源和消费者有关。选项D表示“消费者偏好”,与推断相吻合。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Specialized Turbo中的 WHAT’S IT FOR?部分中的“The electric motor makes it possible to cover longer distances.(电动机使得行驶更长距离成为可能)”和WHO’S IT FOR?”部分中的“Riders who are eager for more challenging cycling or want to extend the riding distance.(渴望更具挑战性的骑行或想要延长骑行距离的骑行者)”可知,Specialized Turbo部分适合挑战长途旅行的。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。结合WHAT’S IT FOR?部分的四段话“Such e-bikes are designed to make short trips, adding to the rider’s comfort and ability to see. The electric assistance allows you to travel easily and comfortably.(这类电动自行车专为短途出行设计,能提升骑行者的舒适度并增强视野。电动助力功能让您能够轻松且舒适地出行)”、“These e-bikes use the same light structure and narrow wheels as conventional touring bikes. The electric motor makes it possible to cover longer distances.(这些电动自行车采用了与传统旅行自行车相同的轻型结构和窄轮设计。电动马达使得它们能够行驶更长的距离)”、“With strong structure and fat wheels, they transport relatively heavy loads, which can be equipped with a seat or rack.(它们结构坚固,轮子厚,能够承载相对较重的货物,并且可以配备座位或支架)”以及“With stronger structure, bigger wheels, and suspension systems that absorb the impact of rough rides, they can handle rough landscapes.(它们拥有更坚固的结构、更大的车轮以及能够吸收崎岖路面冲击力的悬挂系统,因此能够应对崎岖的地形)”可推断,这些信息都体现了不同设计是对应不同出行目的(比如短程、长途、载重物、应对崎岖地形等),所以电动自行车的设计主要是为了满足出行需求。故选A。
B
Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed (颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice?
A. It sounded ambitious. B. It was comprehensive.
C. It was complicated. D. It sounded sensible.
25. What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B. Give examples of her son’s gift in technology.
C. Describe their close parent-child relationship.
D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s competence.
26. Why did the writer take her friend’s advice of writing technology reviews?
A. Because she planned to learn more tech knowledge.
B. Because her son was experienced in review writing.
C. Because she wanted to improve their relationship.
D. Because she hoped that her son could be successful.
27. What makes the writer feel honored?
A. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.
B. Her son’s dominance of the parent-child dynamic.
C. Her son’s tolerance and patience to their relationship.
D. Her son’s growth and careful attitude to the work.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者与儿子在科技方面的关系变化,从一开始的儿子建议家里购买电视和手机,到儿子为家庭设置安全摄像头和协助作者写科技评测文章。通过他们共同学习科技知识和合作,这种家长与子女关系得到了改善和颠倒。文章强调了家庭科技的重要性和如何在其中建立更紧密的关系。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology.

In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words similarly to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs?
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do,” said Takagi. According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their own names from the names of their cat companions (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: cats living with at least two other cats and cats living in “cat cafés” with up to 30 cats. Using a simple two-phase (阶段) test, they assessed the cats’ responses to hearing their names and seeing their faces on a monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times, the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote. “However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats, who are much smarter than we assume, this question is sure to be solved.”
28. What’s people’s common understanding of cats?
A. They have their own language. B. They can connect objects with words.
C. They show no interest in human things. D. They can use human instructions to find food.
29. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A. cats and dogs are all clever animals
B. cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C. cats and dogs can get along well with humans
D. cats’ ability goes beyond recognizing body language
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3?
A. Choose. B. Protect. C. Tell. D. Learn.
31. What is the unsettled question of the study?
A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明猫不仅可以分辨出人类面部表情和注意力状态之间的区别,还可以区分自己的名字和猫同伴的名字。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs? (那么通常被认为不关心人类事务的猫呢?)”可知,人们对猫的普遍想法是它们对人类的事情不感兴趣。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that. (根据之前的研究,猫比预期的更能理解人类的交流。像狗一样,它们可以使用人类的指向和凝视寻找食物。根据2016年的一项研究,它们甚至可以分辨出人类面部表情和注意力状态之间的区别。然而,猫能做的远不止这些。)”可推知,通过两者之间的比较,作者是想强调猫的能力不仅仅是识别肢体语言。故选D项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文“The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends. (研究人员认为,猫通过观察它们的主人和它们的猫朋友之间的交流,学会了把名字和其他猫联系起来。)”可知,猫能够把名字和其他猫联系起来,由此可知,画线词所在句表示“猫可以区分自己的名字和同伴的名字”,画线词discriminate意思应该是“区别”,与tell意思相近。故选C项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中研究人员表述的内容“This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences (这是第一个证明家猫通过日常经历将人类语言和它们的社会伙伴联系起来的证据)”和“However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. (然而,我们无法认识到这一学习的机制)”可知,这项研究中尚未解决的问题是猫是如何将人类的话和它们的社会伙伴联系起来的。故选D项。

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a fashion word in recent years, and its impact on society is growing rapidly. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision making. This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.
One area where AI is making significant strides is healthcare. AI-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of medial data and help doctors make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions. This technology is particularly useful in fields such as radiology where AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect abnormalities that may be missed by human eyes.
In finance, AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and predict market trends. This technology can help traders make more informed decisions and reduce the risks of financial losses. Similarly AI-powered chatbots are being used in customer service, helping to improve response times and provide personalized support.
As the use of AI grows, concerns about job displacement have also arisen. Some fear that Al-powered machines and robots will replace human workers, leading to mass unemployment. While this is a possibility, it is also important to note that AI will create new jobs in fields such as data analysis, software development, and robotics.
Another major concern about AI is the potential for bias and discrimination. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if that data contains biases, the algorithms will also be biased. This issue is particularly concerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-powered systems are being used to make decisions about sentencing. If these algorithms are biased, they could make existing inequalities continue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these concerns, the benefits of AI are numerous and undeniable. However, to ensure that these benefits are accessible to all and to address concerns about bis and discrimination, it is crucial to continue researching and developing moral AI.
32. AI outweighs humans in healthcare because it ______.
A. stops financial risks. B. recognizes market tendency.
C. ensures precise judgment. D. offers personalized services.
33. What is one of the major concerns of AI?
A. A large number of human workers will be laid off.
B. Algorithms will be out of date.
C. Unfairness may arise in criminal justice system.
D. New jobs will be unavailable.
34. How does the writer mainly develop this text?
A. By stating facts and citing quotes.
B. By presenting influences and listing examples.
C. By showing different ideas and giving reasons.
D. By comparing research results and offering suggestions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Artificial Intelligence: Becoming a Fashion Word
B. Artificial Intelligence: Improving Human Abilities
C. Artificial Intelligence: Bettering Decision Making
D. Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Future
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D

It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).(FOMO指的是别人的生活比我们自己的生活更优越的看法。它表现为一种强烈的嫉妒感,持续暴露在这种情绪下会削弱我们的自尊。)”可知,空处为承上启下句,即强烈的嫉妒感是很多人都有的感觉,引出下文对FOMO的介绍。所以选择项A“If so, you are not alone.(如果是这样,你并不孤单。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【37题详解】

Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. (社交媒体,以其固有的吸引力,让我们只分享我们生活中最好的一面,而忽略了更无聊的方面。虽然这可以被定性为不诚实,但这似乎是社交媒体所需要的氛围。)”可知,空处提问社交媒体为什么会有火上浇油的刺激作用,以引出下文对其原因的介绍。所以选择项D“Why does it have such a stimulating effect? (为什么它有这样的刺激作用?)”符合上下文语境。故选D。

(你有没有选择过一些照片,让别人对你的生活得出最美好的结论?)”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【39题详解】
空处为本段主题句,根据后文“You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives. (你可能不是高档派对的常客,也不是攀登令人眼花缭乱的高峰的人,但你有健康的身体,有居住的地方,有真正的朋友,他们会欣赏你在他们生活中的存在。)”可知,本段主要介绍要学会欣赏积极的事物。所以选择项C“Learn to appreciate the positives. (学会欣赏积极的事物。)”符合上下文语境。故选C。
【40题详解】
根据前句“We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter? (我们每天都被别人完美的照片淹没,但说真的,这有什么关系呢?)”可知,我们不能社交媒体上的完美照片的影响,因为它们不一定是真实的。所以选择项E“They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show. (它们可能并不比最有趣的电视真人秀更真实。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章通过引用保险公司State Farm的民调数据来说明分心驾驶,特别是开车时使用智能手机的问题,并分析了这一行为的主要群体特征及其潜在危害。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:州立农场保险公司,一家保险公司,进行的新民调再次证明,路上到处都是傻瓜。insurance company为可数名词单数形式,此处表示泛指“一家保险公司”,且insurance发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在去年11月接受调查的912名司机中,有五分之一的人承认在开车时访问智能手机上的互联网。本句谓语为admitted,此处为非谓语动词,survey“调查”与drivers之间为动宾关系,且表示动作已完成,因此用过去分词,作后置定语。故填surveyed。
【58题详解】
考查时态、主谓一致。句意:在过去几个月里,该公司进行了更深入的研究。conduct“实施”。根据时间状语Over the past several months可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语the company为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has conducted。
【59题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:青少年和年轻人更沉迷于他们的手机,而且他们也是经验较少的司机,这是道路上存在危险的一个原因,可能有更高的比例在开车时使用智能手机。teenager“青少年”为可数名词,青少年不止一个,应用名词复数形式,与young adults并列,作主语。故填Teenagers。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:青少年和年轻人更沉迷于他们的手机,而且他们也是经验较少的司机,这是道路上存在危险的一个原因,可能有更高的比例在开车时使用智能手机。根据上文less experienced drivers可知,此处暗含比较,应用比较级形式higher“更高的”,作定语,修饰名词percentage。故填higher。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管承认了危险,但似乎没有一个有罪的司机为自己感到羞耻。despite为介词,后接acknowledge“承认”的动名词acknowledging,作Despite的宾语。故填acknowledging。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意:尽管承认了危险,但似乎没有一个有罪的司机为自己感到羞耻。司机们没有为“他们自己的行为”感到羞耻,此处用反身代词themselves“他们自己”,来指代上下文中提及到的the guilty drivers“内疚的司机”他们自己,作of的宾语。故填themselves。
【63题详解】
考查条件状语从句。句意:也许,在某种程度上,如果没有发生近乎事故或实际的撞车事故,这种行为永远不会改变。空处引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”,应用if引导。故填if。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:即便如此,这种改变也只会发生在每个个案的基础上,它将无辜者的生命和福祉置于那些懒得改变习惯的人的摆布之下。on the basis of为固定短语,意为“基于……”。故填on。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:即便如此,这种改变也只会发生在每个个案的基础上,它将无辜者的生命和福祉置于那些懒得改变习惯的人的摆布之下。空处引导定语从句,先行词是those,指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导。故填who。
第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
任务型阅读
I had always been careful around Max. He was the quiet kid in our class and he hardly spoke to anyone. When he did, his words were rudely brief and often misunderstood. Rumors (谣言) about him spread like wildfire — some said he got into fights after school, others claimed he had once stolen a teacher’s wallet. I didn’t know if any of them was true, but I stayed away, just like everyone else.
Then one Friday morning, Max didn’t show up to class. Rumors about his absence started flying. “He got suspended (停课),” whispered a girl next to me. “I heard he struck a guy outside the library.” I wasn’t surprised, and nodded in agreement.
Later that day, I went to enjoy the first warm day of spring at the park where I saw Max sitting alone on the swings. His usual defensive expression was gone, and replaced by something I hadn’t expected: sadness. I walked over with curiosity, noticing a wrinkled piece of paper in his hand.
“What’s that? ” I asked. At first, he seemed unsure. Then, he handed it to me. It was a hospital form and the name on it was his younger sister’s. I looked at him, confused.
“She’s been sick for months, ” Max explained, his voice barely heard. “Yesterday was bad. My mom couldn’t leave work, so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night. ”
It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. The tough outward appearance, the distance--he wasn’t trying to push people away. He was carrying a weight none of us understood.
The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. Someone even started calling him “Mad Max”. I couldn’t stand it anymore.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者对同学麦克斯的误解到理解的过程。起初,因为麦克斯的沉默寡言,作者和其他同学都对他有误解,认为他是个坏学生。后来,作者发现麦克斯因为妹妹生病而承受了很大的压力,对他的看法有了改变。
【66题详解】
1.考查副词。句意:麦克斯很安静,很少和任何人说话,所以有一些关于他是个坏学生的谣言。根据第一段中“He was the quiet kid in our class and he hardly spoke to anyone. (他是我们班上安静的孩子,几乎不和任何人说话)”可知,麦克斯很安静,几乎不和任何人说话。表示“几乎不”,应用副词rarely。故填rarely。
2.考查形容词。句意:我不知道这些谣言是不是真的。但我很谨慎,远离了他。根据第一段中“I didn’t know if any of them was true, but I stayed away, just like everyone else. (我不知道它们是否是真的,但我和其他人一样,都远离了他)”可知,作者不知道这些谣言是否是真的,但很谨慎,远离了他。表示“谨慎的”,应用形容词careful,在句中作表语。故填careful。
3.考查形容词。句意:星期五早上麦克斯没来上学。根据第二段中“Then one Friday morning, Max didn’t show up to class. (后来一个星期五的早上,麦克斯没有来上课)”可知,麦克斯星期五上午没来上学。表示“缺席的”,应用形容词absent,在句中作表语。故填absent。
4.考查动词和时态。句意:我旁边的一个女孩说他昨天打了一个人。根据第二段中“‘He got suspended (停课) ,’ whispered a girl next to me. ‘I heard he struck a guy outside the library.’ (“他被停课了,”我旁边的一个女孩低声说。“我听说他在图书馆外袭击了一个人。”)”可知,作者旁边的一个女孩说麦克斯昨天袭击了一个人。表示“袭击”,应用动词strike,结合语境可知,事情发生在昨天,应用一般过去时。故填struck。
5.考查动词和时态。句意:我同意了那个女孩关于谣言的说法。那天晚些时候,我在公园里找到了麦克斯。根据第二段中“‘I heard he struck a guy outside the library.’ I wasn’t surprised, and nodded in agreement. (“我听说他在图书馆外袭击了一个人。”“我并不感到惊讶,点头表示同意。”)”可知,作者同意了这个女孩的谣言。表示“同意”,应用动词agree,结合语境可知,事情发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填agreed。
6.考查形容词。句意:麦克斯不再防御,而是悲伤地手里拿着一张纸。根据第三段中“His usual defensive expression was gone, and replaced by something I hadn’t expected: sadness. (他平时那种防御性的表情消失了,取而代之的是一种我没想到的东西:悲伤)”可知,麦克斯不再有防御性的表情,而是悲伤地拿着一张纸。表示“防御性的”,应用形容词defensive,在句中作表语。故填defensive。
7.考查形容词。句意:我很好奇,走过去问他那是什么。根据第三段中“I walked over with curiosity, noticing a wrinkled piece of paper in his hand. (我好奇地走过去,注意到他手里拿着一张皱巴巴的纸)”可知,作者很好奇,走过去问他那是什么。表示“好奇的”,应用形容词curious,在句中作表语。故填curious。
8.考查动词和时态。句意:他想了一会儿。然后,他把它递给我,告诉我他妹妹的病情。根据第四段中“At first, he seemed unsure. Then, he handed it to me. (起初,他似乎不确定。然后,他把它递给了我)”可知,他想了一会儿,然后把它递给了作者。表示“想”,应用动词think,结合语境可知,事情发生在过去,应用一般过去时。故填thought。
9.考查动词和时态。句意:听到我们都误解了他,我很震惊。根据第六段中“It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. (我突然意识到我们对麦克斯的看法都是错误的)”可知,作者对大家都误解了麦克斯感到震惊。表示“误解”,应用动词misunderstand,结合空前的had可知,句子为过去完成时,此处应用过去分词。故填misunderstood。
10.考查动词。句意:我再也受不了了。根据最后一段中“The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. Someone even started calling him ‘Mad Max’. I couldn’t stand it anymore. (下周一,麦克斯回来了,但谣言仍在流传。有人甚至开始叫他“疯麦克斯”。我再也受不了了)”可知,作者再也受不了了。表示“忍受”,应用动词bear,couldn’t后跟动词原形。故填bear。
【67题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘She’s been sick for months, ’ Max explained, his voice barely heard. ‘Yesterday was bad. My mom couldn’t leave work, so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night. ’(“她已经病了好几个月了,”麦克斯解释道,他的声音几乎听不见。“昨天情况很糟糕。我妈妈不能请假,所以我整晚都待在医院照顾她。”)”可知,麦克斯星期五上午没来上学是因为他妈妈必须去工作,所以他不得不整晚照顾他妹妹。故填Because his mother had to work so he had to look after his sister all night, which made him absent from school on Friday morning.
【68题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. Someone even started calling him ‘Mad Max’. I couldn’t stand it anymore. (下周一,麦克斯回来了,但谣言仍在流传。有人甚至开始叫他“疯麦克斯”。我再也受不了了)”可推知,作者会阻止其他学生那样称呼和对待麦克斯,所以作者会告诉他们麦克斯的真实故事,帮助其他人更多地了解他。故填I would stop other students calling and treating Max like that. So I would tell them the true story of Max and help others know more about him.
【69题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. The tough outward appearance, the distance — he wasn’t trying to push people away. He was carrying a weight none of us understood. (我突然意识到我们对麦克斯的看法都是错误的。他强硬的外表,疏远的态度——他并不是想推开别人。他背负着我们谁也不理解的重量)”可推知,作者会反思自己评判别人的方式,作者认识到不应该只根据谣言或外表来评判别人,作者可能也会明白,有时候人们筑起心墙不是为了把别人拒之门外,而是为了保护自己。故填I would reflect on my way of judging others. I learn that I shouldn’t judge others only by rumors or their appearance. I may also understand that sometimes people build walls not to keep others out, but to protect themselves.

Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed (颠倒). He’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice?
A. It sounded ambitious. B. It was comprehensive.
C. It was complicated. D. It sounded sensible.
25. What does the writer intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B. Give examples of her son’s gift in technology.
C. Describe their close parent-child relationship.
D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s competence.
26. Why did the writer take her friend’s advice of writing technology reviews?
A. Because she planned to learn more tech knowledge.
B. Because her son was experienced in review writing.
C. Because she wanted to improve their relationship.
D. Because she hoped that her son could be successful.
27. What makes the writer feel honored?
A. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.
B. Her son’s dominance of the parent-child dynamic.
C. Her son’s tolerance and patience to their relationship.
D. Her son’s growth and careful attitude to the work.
C
In 2021, scientists studying animal communication discovered that some dogs connect objects with words similarly to babies. Then what about cats, which are commonly believed to be unconcerned about human affairs?
Saho Takagi, a researcher at Azabu University, doubted cats’ seeming unconcern. “Cats don’t appear to listen to people’s conversations, but in fact, they do,” said Takagi. According to previous research, cats understand human communication better than expected. Like dogs, they can use human pointing and stares to find food. They even can tell the difference between human facial expressions and states of attention, according to a 2016 study. However, cats can do more than that.
Another study showed that cats can discriminate their own names from the names of their cat companions (those that live in the same house). The researchers believed that cats learned to connect names with other cats by observing communication between their owners and their cat friends.
In a recently published study, Takagi and her colleagues compared two groups of cats: cats living with at least two other cats and cats living in “cat cafés” with up to 30 cats. Using a simple two-phase (阶段) test, they assessed the cats’ responses to hearing their names and seeing their faces on a monitor. Sometimes, the cat that appeared on the screen matched the name spoken; other times, the name and the image did not match. If cats knew the names of their cat friends, they would investigate by staring doubtfully at the monitor when the name and image did not match. House cats had a significantly longer stare than café cats, indicating that house cats generally expected a specific cat’s face upon hearing the cat’s name.
“This is the first evidence showing that house cats link human words and their social companions through daily experiences,” the researchers wrote. “However, we could not recognize the mechanism (机制) for learning. But with more and more scientists becoming interested in cats, who are much smarter than we assume, this question is sure to be solved.”
28. What’s people’s common understanding of cats?
A. They have their own language. B. They can connect objects with words.
C. They show no interest in human things. D. They can use human instructions to find food.
29. By comparing cats and dogs in Paragraph 2, the author wants to stress ______.
A. cats and dogs are all clever animals
B. cats’ ability to learn is stronger than dogs’
C. cats and dogs can get along well with humans
D. cats’ ability goes beyond recognizing body language
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 3?
A. Choose. B. Protect. C. Tell. D. Learn.
31. What is the unsettled question of the study?
A. How cats can recognize other cats’ face.
B. Whether cats are much smarter than expected.
C. Whether cats can understand human communication.
D. How cats link human words and their social companions.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a fashion word in recent years, and its impact on society is growing rapidly. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision making. This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.
One area where AI is making significant strides is healthcare. AI-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of medial data and help doctors make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions. This technology is particularly useful in fields such as radiology where AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect abnormalities that may be missed by human eyes.
In finance, AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and predict market trends. This technology can help traders make more informed decisions and reduce the risks of financial losses. Similarly AI-powered chatbots are being used in customer service, helping to improve response times and provide personalized support.
As the use of AI grows, concerns about job displacement have also arisen. Some fear that Al-powered machines and robots will replace human workers, leading to mass unemployment. While this is a possibility, it is also important to note that AI will create new jobs in fields such as data analysis, software development, and robotics.
Another major concern about AI is the potential for bias and discrimination. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if that data contains biases, the algorithms will also be biased. This issue is particularly concerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-powered systems are being used to make decisions about sentencing. If these algorithms are biased, they could make existing inequalities continue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these concerns, the benefits of AI are numerous and undeniable. However, to ensure that these benefits are accessible to all and to address concerns about bis and discrimination, it is crucial to continue researching and developing moral AI.
32. AI outweighs humans in healthcare because it ______.
A. stops financial risks. B. recognizes market tendency.
C. ensures precise judgment. D. offers personalized services.
33. What is one of the major concerns of AI?
A. A large number of human workers will be laid off.
B. Algorithms will be out of date.
C. Unfairness may arise in criminal justice system.
D. New jobs will be unavailable.
34. How does the writer mainly develop this text?
A. By stating facts and citing quotes.
B. By presenting influences and listing examples.
C. By showing different ideas and giving reasons.
D. By comparing research results and offering suggestions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Artificial Intelligence: Becoming a Fashion Word
B. Artificial Intelligence: Improving Human Abilities
C. Artificial Intelligence: Bettering Decision Making
D. Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Future
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? ____36____
FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).
While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire.____37____Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media?
Consider your own social media posts.____38____Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节,满分20分)
任务型阅读
I had always been careful around Max. He was the quiet kid in our class and he hardly spoke to anyone. When he did, his words were rudely brief and often misunderstood. Rumors (谣言) about him spread like wildfire — some said he got into fights after school, others claimed he had once stolen a teacher’s wallet. I didn’t know if any of them was true, but I stayed away, just like everyone else.
Then one Friday morning, Max didn’t show up to class. Rumors about his absence started flying. “He got suspended (停课),” whispered a girl next to me. “I heard he struck a guy outside the library.” I wasn’t surprised, and nodded in agreement.
Later that day, I went to enjoy the first warm day of spring at the park where I saw Max sitting alone on the swings. His usual defensive expression was gone, and replaced by something I hadn’t expected: sadness. I walked over with curiosity, noticing a wrinkled piece of paper in his hand.
“What’s that? ” I asked. At first, he seemed unsure. Then, he handed it to me. It was a hospital form and the name on it was his younger sister’s. I looked at him, confused.
“She’s been sick for months, ” Max explained, his voice barely heard. “Yesterday was bad. My mom couldn’t leave work, so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night. ”
It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. The tough outward appearance, the distance--he wasn’t trying to push people away. He was carrying a weight none of us understood.
The next Monday, Max returned, but rumors remained. Someone even started calling him “Mad Max”. I couldn’t stand it anymore.
