Two words can sum up the life of Dr. Catana Starks — determination and achievement. Now the story of one of her many accomplishments — she’s the first African-American woman in history to coach a male college sports team — is a movie!
The story is about Starks, who was the golf coach at her alma mater (母校) Tennessee State University, a traditionally Black College in Nashville. Starks’ unique coaching style and her achievements in the face of many challenges in, her position and in life is what will leave audiences inspired. She had to drive the team bus, wash her players’ golf, clothes, and had to constantly find places for her team to practice. Starks credits her strength to one woman in her life — her mother.
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Starks was diagnosed with severe asthma (哮喘). Doctors told her mother she could never participate in sports. “My mother, she had an almost mystical belief of not being limited by circumstances”, says Starks, “so I grew up with a basketball goal in the backyard.” Asthma wasn’t the only challenge; she grew up in the segregated (被隔离的) South of the 1940s, “I learned to swim. I had to walk four miles in Mobile to get to a Black pool”.
After getting the men’s golf coach job, Starks couldn’t find golfers. None of the males on campus would play. “Originally that didn’t work out because I was female,” said Starks. She had to innovate by recruiting (招聘) internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!
4. Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career?
A. Being the team bus driver. B. Doing the laundry for her players.
C. Walking to the Black swimming pool. D. Finding places for team practice.
5. What did Starks learn from her mother?
A. A positive attitude towards life. B. A strong will to overcome tough situations.
C. A willingness to push the limits of her body. D. Her unique coaching style.
6. Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because ________.
A. she was African American B. she was a woman coach
C. she was suffering asthma D. she was short of experience
7. The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate ________.
A. like teacher like student B. education is the key to success
C practice makes perfect D. equality is greater than division
C
While conducting a workshop on creativity, I gave each small group a small box of paper clips (回形针). I invited each group to record as many different uses for a paper clip as they could in five minutes. Obviously, these third-grade student groups were able to generate multiple responses and the quality of those responses was all over the map. Their creativity was in full swing.
We often have this belief that when faced with a creative challenge, we need to generate a really good idea that will save the day. As a result, we focus on “the perfect idea” or “the best solution” without the necessity of generating lots of bad ones along the way. Yet producing unworkable, impractical, and worthless ideas is a necessary and essential part of the creative process.
One of the classic books, one that goes against the grain of what most writing instruction books do, is the incomparable Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg. One of the finest pieces of advice in the book is for writers and anyone trying to generate creative thoughts to give themselves permission to create crappy (蹩脚的) ideas.
Creativity is based on the concept of producing multiple ideas — ideas without any restrictions, definitions, or limitations. When we imagine the quality of an idea, we limit its effectiveness. When we pre-assess thoughts in advance of putting them into action, we reduce their worth or ultimate use. The impacts are shocking. There is an idea that a sustained focus on producing only “good” or “perfect” ideas forces us into a “don’t take any risks” mindset and significantly reduces our creative spirit.
The solution when faced with a creative challenge: generate overmuch ideas without regard to their appropriateness or usefulness. Some of those ideas will be possibilities and some will be useless. That’s OK. Ultimately, know this: generating crappy ideas is an essential part of the creative process. It’s your brain with its “pedal (踏板) to the metal”.
8. What does the author believe about the creative process?
A. It must avoid taking any risks. B. It requires some perfect ideas.
C. It’s limited to practical solutions. D. It should involve producing crappy ideas.
9. Why does the author mention the book Writing Down the Bones in paragraph 3?
A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact.
C. To prove an opinion. D. To make a prediction.
10. What impact does focusing on perfect ideas have on creativity?
A. Enhancing risk-taking. B. Limiting logical thoughts.
C. Destroying creative spirit. D. Encouraging diverse thinking.
11. What would be the best title for this text?
A. How We Overcome Creative Blocks B. Why It’s Good to Have Crappy Ideas
C. The Ways of Generating Rich Creativity D. The Importance of Increasing Writing Art
D
2024 was the hottest year on record, yet it might also be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life due to a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome (基线漂移综合征).
This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines.
“The last two years have been kind of supercharged,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out.” In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases.” Along with the rise, scientists expect we’ll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires.
In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.
“Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis,” says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, “people aren’t necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do.” If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.”
12. What does shifting baseline syndrome lead to?
A. Doubt about historical climate patterns.
B. Inattention to the environmental decline.
C. Acceptance of new societal standards.
D Concern about extreme weather events.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The increase of climate disasters.
B. The effect of global warming.
C. Consequences of human activities.
D. Causes of the rising temperatures.
14. Why were the studies of shifting baselines conducted in low-income countries?
A. They can avoid shifting baseline syndrome.
B. They rarely notice changing climate patterns.
C. They’re more affected by climate change.
D. They’re adaptable to environmental problems.
15. What does Adam Aron suggest?
A. Promoting green energy initiatives.
B. Using social norms to drive action,
C. Strengthening government regulations.
D. Developing more protective approaches.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior.
Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements.
___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures.
To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation.
To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___
A. That is how we remain human.
B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency.
C. In many cases they save us considerable time.
D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm.
E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions.
F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”.
G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result.

Finally, after a year of ____26____ , I created one that could cut energy losses in half. I was ____27____ — until the professor told me to write that research paper.
If you want to become an academic, you will need to spend time ____28____ papers. But with my ____29____ track record with writing, I was scared of failing. In a ____30____, I asked a graduate in my lab for help. When asking him for ____31____ , I soon found the paper covered with red marks.
Before I could back off in defeat, though, the graduate ____32____ that red didn’t mean I was a poor writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. All papers require ____33____, often several times. ____34____ it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing while designing the inductor?”
From then on, writing has become one favorite part of research. I’ve even ____35____ writing popular science articles. It’s a future I could never have imagined before.

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。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”
注意:
1.续写词数为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With only three days left, I knew I had to act.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class.

She had to innovate by recruiting (招聘) internationally, via telephone. The calls attracted players from Sweden to South Africa. During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!
4. Which of the following is NOT a challenge Starks faced in her career?
A. Being the team bus driver. B. Doing the laundry for her players.
C. Walking to the Black swimming pool. D. Finding places for team practice.
5. What did Starks learn from her mother?
A. A positive attitude towards life. B. A strong will to overcome tough situations.
C. A willingness to push the limits of her body. D. Her unique coaching style.
6. Starks had a rough start as a golf coach because ________.
A. she was African American B. she was a woman coach
C. she was suffering asthma D. she was short of experience
7. The achievements of Starks’ players are mentioned to illustrate ________.
A. like teacher like student B. education is the key to success
C. practice makes perfect D. equality is greater than division
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“During nearly twenty years in her charge her former players have differentiated themselves throughout the world including: Sam Puryear, the former Michigan State University golf coach-the first African American in its history, and Robert Dinwiddie, an All-American golfer at TSU and a current member of the European Tour having achieved three continuous Top-10 finishes in South Africa. Starks’ determination really paid off when the T-State Tigers won the National Minority Golf Championship in 2005. And another specialty for her career, ninety percent of the players graduated!(在她执教的近20年里,她的前球员们在世界各地都崭露头角,包括:萨姆·普里尔,前密歇根州立大学高尔夫教练,该校历史上第一位非裔美国人;罗伯特·丁威迪,田纳西州立大学的全美高尔夫球手,欧洲巡回赛的现役成员,在南非连续三次进入前十名。2005年,当T州立大学老虎队赢得全国少数民族高尔夫锦标赛时,斯塔克斯的决心真的得到了回报。她职业生涯的另一个特点是,90%的球员都毕业了!)”可推知,斯塔克斯的球员们取得了辉煌的成就,这说明了“有什么样的老师就有什么样的学生”或者“名师出高徒”。故选A。
C
While conducting a workshop on creativity, I gave each small group a small box of paper clips (回形针). I invited each group to record as many different uses for a paper clip as they could in five minutes. Obviously, these third-grade student groups were able to generate multiple responses and the quality of those responses was all over the map. Their creativity was in full swing.
We often have this belief that when faced with a creative challenge, we need to generate a really good idea that will save the day. As a result, we focus on “the perfect idea” or “the best solution” without the necessity of generating lots of bad ones along the way. Yet producing unworkable, impractical, and worthless ideas is a necessary and essential part of the creative process.
One of the classic books, one that goes against the grain of what most writing instruction books do, is the incomparable Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg. One of the finest pieces of advice in the book is for writers and anyone trying to generate creative thoughts to give themselves permission to create crappy (蹩脚的) ideas.
Creativity is based on the concept of producing multiple ideas — ideas without any restrictions, definitions, or limitations. When we imagine the quality of an idea, we limit its effectiveness. When we pre-assess thoughts in advance of putting them into action, we reduce their worth or ultimate use. The impacts are shocking. There is an idea that a sustained focus on producing only “good” or “perfect” ideas forces us into a “don’t take any risks” mindset and significantly reduces our creative spirit.
The solution when faced with a creative challenge: generate overmuch ideas without regard to their appropriateness or usefulness. Some of those ideas will be possibilities and some will be useless. That’s OK. Ultimately, know this: generating crappy ideas is an essential part of the creative process. It’s your brain with its “pedal (踏板) to the metal”.
8. What does the author believe about the creative process?
A. It must avoid taking any risks. B. It requires some perfect ideas.
C. It’s limited to practical solutions. D. It should involve producing crappy ideas.
9. Why does the author mention the book Writing Down the Bones in paragraph 3?
A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact.
C. To prove an opinion. D. To make a prediction.
10. What impact does focusing on perfect ideas have on creativity?
A. Enhancing risk-taking. B. Limiting logical thoughts.
C. Destroying creative spirit. D. Encouraging diverse thinking.
11. What would be the best title for this text?
A. How We Overcome Creative Blocks B. Why It’s Good to Have Crappy Ideas
C. The Ways of Generating Rich Creativity D. The Importance of Increasing Writing Art
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述蹩脚想法是创造过程的必要部分。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet producing unworkable, impractical, and worthless ideas is a necessary and essential part of the creative process. (然而,产生不可行、不切实际和毫无价值的想法是创造过程中必不可少的一部分。)”以及最后一段“Ultimately, know this: generating crappy ideas is an essential part of the creative process. (最终,要知道这一点:产生蹩脚的想法是创造过程中必不可少的一部分。)”可知,作者认为创造过程应该包括产生蹩脚的想法。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the classic books, one that goes against the grain of what most writing instruction books do, is the incomparable Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg. One of the finest pieces of advice in the book is for writers and anyone trying to generate creative thoughts to give themselves permission to create crappy ideas. (然而,产生不可行、不切实际和毫无价值的想法是创造过程中必不可少的一部分。书中最好的建议之一是,对于作家和任何试图产生创造性想法的人来说,要允许自己产生蹩脚的想法。)”可知,作者在第三段提到《Writing Down the Bones》这本书是为了证明一个观点,即允许自己产生蹩脚的想法对于激发创造力是必要的。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“There is an idea that a sustained focus on producing only “good” or “perfect” ideas forces us into a “don’t take any risks” mindset and significantly reduces our creative spirit. (有一种观点认为,持续专注于只产生“好”或“完美”的想法会迫使我们陷入“不要冒任何风险”的心态,并显著降低我们的创造力。)”可知,专注于完美的想法会限制逻辑思维。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“While conducting a workshop on creativity, I gave each small group a small box of paper clips (回形针). I invited each group to record as many different uses for a paper clip as they could in five minutes. Obviously, these third-grade student groups were able to generate multiple responses and the quality of those responses was all over the map. Their creativity was in full swing. (在开展一场关于创造力的研讨会时,我给每个小组发了一小盒回形针。我邀请每个小组在五分钟内尽可能多地记录下回形针的不同用途。显然,这些三年级的学生小组能够想出多种回答,而且这些回答的质量参差不齐。他们的创造力正蓬勃涌现。)”可知,全文围绕“蹩脚想法”在创造过程中的重要性展开,强调产生不可行、不切实际和毫无价值的想法是创造过程中必不可少的一部分。因此,最佳标题应突出“蹩脚想法”的积极作用。故选B。
D
2024 was the hottest year on record, yet it might also be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life due to a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome (基线漂移综合征).
This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines.
“The last two years have been kind of supercharged,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out.” In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases.” Along with the rise, scientists expect we’ll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires.
In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.
“Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis,” says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, “people aren’t necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do.” If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.”
12. What does shifting baseline syndrome lead to?
A. Doubt about historical climate patterns.
B. Inattention to the environmental decline.
C. Acceptance of new societal standards.
D. Concern about extreme weather events.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The increase of climate disasters.
B. The effect of global warming.
C. Consequences of human activities.
D. Causes of the rising temperatures.
14. Why were the studies of shifting baselines conducted in low-income countries?
A. They can avoid shifting baseline syndrome.
B. They rarely notice changing climate patterns.
C. They’re more affected by climate change.
D. They’re adaptable to environmental problems.
15. What does Adam Aron suggest?
A. Promoting green energy initiatives.
B. Using social norms to drive action,
C. Strengthening government regulations.
D. Developing more protective approaches.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了“基线漂移综合征”这一现象,说明了它如何影响人们对环境变化的认知,以及这种现象在气候变化背景下的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem.(这种思维错觉会让人们逐渐习惯当前经历的环境条件,导致社会整体的环境标准逐渐降低。它通过削弱社会对环境问题的认知,成为一道强大的屏障。)”可知,基线漂移综合征使人们习惯当前的环境条件,导致社会环境标准逐渐降低,降低了社会对环境问题的认知,也就是对环境恶化的关注度降低。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out.” In part, this is due to a recent El Nino, an event in which warming in the tropical (热带的) Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases.”(气温正以更快的速度攀升,“2023年和2024年尤为突出”。部分原因在于近期的厄尔尼诺现象——热带太平洋海域的变暖会引发连锁天气效应。但Schmidt指出,这也可能表明人类驱动的全球变暖正在加剧,因为“我们不断踩下温室气体排放的‘加速踏板’”。)”可知,本段主要讲述了气温快速上升的原因,一部分是由于最近的厄尔尼诺事件,另一部分是人类活动导致的全球变暖,即温室气体排放不断增加。所以第三段主要讨论了气温上升的原因。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.(科学家推测,富裕国家的人群可能更容易受基线漂移影响,因为他们往往较少直接承受气候变化的冲击。)”可推测,低收入国家的人们更多地直接暴露在气候变化的影响之下,所以更容易察觉到环境的变化,这使得在低收入国家进行基线漂移综合征的研究更有意义,即研究在低收入国家开展是因为这些国家的人们更容易受到气候变化的影响。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.”(Aron认为,若想促使人们改变,需要借助“非分析性”手段。“非分析性途径是社会公认的行为准则,”他说,“比如我的邻居都安装了太阳能板并实现家庭电气化,那我也会这么做。”)”可知,Aron认为,若想促使人们改变,需要借助“非分析性”手段。并举例“邻居安装太阳能板和家庭电气化,自己也会效仿”,说明他主张通过社会公认的行为准则(即社会规范)来驱动行动。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
When you log into social media does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior.
Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements.
___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures.
To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation.
To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___
A. That is how we remain human.
B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency.
C. In many cases they save us considerable time.
D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm.
E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions.
F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”.
G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人们对算法推荐的依赖现象,强调保持人类自主决策能力的重要性。
【16题详解】
前文“When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. (当你登录社交媒体时,是否有算法管理你推送?网上购物时,你是否常关注AI推荐的置顶商品?如果回答“是”,大多数时候你会听从算法推荐)”描述人们普遍跟随算法推荐的行为,后文“As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior. (顾名思义,这个术语指的是我们日益倾向于将决策权交给那些旨在预测和控制我们行为的系统)”给出对这一现象的专业定义,因此F项“Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”. (心理学家将这种常见现象称为“算法依赖”)”符合语境,给出该现象的术语,承前启后,其中的this common practice指代前文行为,algorithmic dependence是后文的the term指代的对象。故选F。
【17题详解】
前文“Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. (现在,接受算法建议从根本上来说并无不妥)”肯定算法的合理性,后文“But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. (但正如滴水穿石般,对AI推荐的反复依赖会逐渐削弱我们独立判断的能力,甚至动摇自我认知的根基)”指出长期依赖算法的危害,因此C项“In many cases they save us considerable time. (在许多情况下,它们为我们节省大量时间)”符合语境,具体说明算法节省时间的益处,承接前文,和后文构成转折,其中的they指代前文的algorithmic suggestions。故选C。
【18题详解】
后文“It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. (它是做出有意选择和采取有目的行动的能力)”讨论人类自主决策能力,因此B项“So, it’s time to reclaim human agency. (因此,是时候重新找回人类的自主权了)”符合语境,引出对自主决策的呼吁,统领段落,其中的human agency是后文It指代的对象。故选B。
【19题详解】
前文“That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?”(也就是说,在接受一个推荐之前,停下来问问自己:“如果完全由我自己决定,我会做出同样的选择吗?”)”给出有意停顿的具体方法,因此E项“This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. (这种短暂反思会让你对决策有清醒认知)”符合语境,指出方法的有效性,承接前文。故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. (随着AI深度融入生活,我们必须积极维护决策能力)”总结维护自主决策的必要性,因此A项“That is how we remain human. (这便是我们保持人性的方式)”符合语境,将自主决策提升至人性本质的高度,以哲学视角收束全文,强化核心论点。故选A。

考查固定短语、介词。句意:林巧稚医生被称为“万婴之母”,她毕生致力于医学科学和妇女健康。“be referred to as”是固定短语,意为“被称为”,故填as。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:18岁时,深受母亲去世的影响,她选择了学习,而不是遵循传统的婚姻道路。空白处在句子中作谓语,根据上文“At 18(在18岁的时候)”可知,句子表示的是动作发生在过去,谓语动词应用一般过去时,故填chose。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。介词of后接名词作宾语,marry的名词形式是marriage,故填marriage。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:多年后,尽管有国外的机会向她伸出橄榄枝,她还是决心为中国的妇女和儿童服务,这给她的美国同事留下了深刻印象。despite是介词,后接动名词作宾语,且offer与主语she之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用动名词的被动形式,故填being offered。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。此处是非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,关系词在从句中作主语,应用which引导,故填which。
【41题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:显然,她的一生体现了医生的真正价值——把患者放在首位。根据下文“of a doctor-putting patients first(把患者放在首位)”可知名词被介词短语修饰作定语,此处特指医生的真正价值,应用定冠词the,故填the。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:林巧稚医生担任过许多重要职务,但她的心更强烈地被患者护理工作所吸引。修饰动词drawn应用副词,strong的副词形式是strongly,故填strongly。
【43题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:虽然她从未结婚,但她接生了超过5万个婴儿。根据“she never married(她从未结婚)”以及“she delivered over 50,000babies(她接生了超过5万个婴儿)”,可知前后句之间转折关系,空白处应用Although/Though引导让步状语从句,故Although/Though。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她为女性所写的书非常受欢迎,因为书中给出了如何照顾婴儿的有用指导。空白处在句子中作定语,使用非谓语动词,因与其逻辑主语Her book之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,使用过去分词,故填intended。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她甚至把自己的积蓄留给了一所幼儿园和一个基金,这体现了她对他人持久的关怀。此处应用现在分词作结果状语,表自然而然的结果,故填showing。

【答案】
Bridging the Digital Divide for the Elderly
Last week, I took part in an activity organized by the volunteer community to help the elderly bridge the digital divide. We visited a nursing home and patiently taught the seniors how to use apps like WeChat for video calls and online shopping. We also helped them set up payment functions safely.
I felt really fulfilled. Seeing the elderly’s big smiles and their newfound digital skills, I realized that a little help can make a big difference in their lives. It’s our responsibility to help them keep up with the times.

第二节 读后续写(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。
I was incredibly proud of my school, the Maplewood Elementary. It connected me to my roots, as my father and grandfather had all graduated from here.
So, when our teacher Mr. Dow announced a group project to create a brochure (小册子) about our school for its 100th anniversary, I was thrilled. The best three brochures would be displayed in the school library, which was a chance to show the new students how wonderful our school was.
I was paired with two classmates: Jake. who loved photography, and Lily who had a gift for writing. Working with others could be fun, right? But my enthusiasm quickly faded.
Our first meeting was a disaster. When we discussed which part of the school we should focus on, Jake kept talking about cameras and photos. I turned to Lily, hoping for some support. But she simply shrugged and said, “I’m not really into this. It sounds boring.” Jake nodded in agreement. The project seemed to be harder than I thought.
At our next meeting, I tried to lead the conversation back to the project. I shared some interesting facts I had researched about the school. However, neither of them seemed interested. Jake had promised to gather materials from the library, but instead he showed us photos taken on the weekend. Lily hadn’t started her part of the research either, claiming she had been too busy. I felt like I was the only one who cared.
Back home, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I stayed up late that night, trying to create the brochure by myself. But no matter how hard I tried, the result was far from satisfactory. I was exhausted and disheartened. My mom noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” she gently reminded me. “Jake and Lily have talents that can make this project shine. You just need to find a way to get them involved.”

With only three days left, I knew I had to act.

On the final day, we presented our brochure in class.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】With only three days left, I knew I had to act. After brainstorming some ideas, I invited Jake and Lily to my house. Opening my grandfather’s diary, I pointed at the faded photo of his class. “Your camera can save the moment for the future,” I told Jake, whose eyes suddenly sparkled. Then I suggested he photograph every corner of the school like “time travelers”. Meanwhile, Lily was engaged in my grandfather’s love letter, eager to bring hidden stories back to life. I was busy organizing layouts, combining historical accuracy with creativity. The clock was ticking, but our laughter replaced earlier frustration. (94词)
On the final day, we presented our brochure in class. We stood by the blackboard as everyone went through the pages. They examined the brochure carefully, with their fingers tracing the photos, narratives and timelines which connected three generations of graduates. Noticing surprise on every face, we couldn’t wait to hear Mr. Dow’s announcement of the winner. “This work isn’t just about the school anniversary,” he finally said, tapping the cover where our three names shone, “it’s about how its spirit lives through students’ cooperation.” That afternoon in the library, seeing our brochure on display, we realized our combined talents had created what none could alone. (100词)
