第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15题,每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights
When it comes to booking flights, travelers may naturally head to an airline’s website. However, that’s not always the best choice. The best flight booking site can vary depending on your situation.
Google Flights
For ease, speed and features, Google Flights is arguably the best website for flight searches. Search results appear almost immediately. Filters (过滤器) let you narrow down to nonstop choices, and limit by price or factor in the price of a bag. One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices.
Kayak
Perhaps the most important reason to use Kayak instead of Google Flights is that it can catch better deals. For example, we found a $550 round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Barcelona using Google Flights. Kayak found a way to lower that price to just $472.
Capital One Travel
If you are a Capital One cardholder, Capital One Travel might just be the best choice as you can get up to $300 off travel booked through the Capital One Travel portal each cardholder year. Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days.
Kiwi
Are you willing to book a trip as two separate tickets in order to save money? That’s the idea behind Kiwi. It could mean taking a bus or train from your home city to another to catch a flight to your destination. But if a delay or cancellation causes you to miss your connection, the second airline/bus/train company won’t honor your ticket.
1. What is a disadvantage of Google Flights?
A. It filters nonstop flights. B. It shows limited search results.
C. It does not show the price of a bag. D. It may not present the cheapest choices.
2. Which of the following offers credit card rewards?
A. Google Flights. B. Kayak. C. Capital One Travel. D. Kiwi.
3. Where is the text probably from?
A. An airline’s website. B. A finance journal.
C. A business magazine. D. A flight booking guide.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几个预订便宜机票的最佳网站及其特点。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Google Flights部分中“One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices. (一个缺点是它并不总是显示最便宜的价格。)”可知,Google Flights的缺点是可能不提供最便宜的选择。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Capital One Travel部分中“Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days. (此外,如果未来10天内价格下跌,您还可获得最高50美元的未来旅行信用额度。)”可知,提供信用卡奖励的是Capital One Travel。故选C。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章标题“Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights (预订廉价航班的最佳网站)”可知,文章围绕预订便宜机票的最佳网站展开,来自于航班预订指南。故选D。
B
After graduating from high school, the three of us girls kept in touch. But as we got older, years passed without seeing each other. We changed careers, circumstances and addresses.
In the spring of 2014, after Rich and Chris spent a weekend biking trails together in Virginia, Chris suggested the three of us plan a tour. I had worried some before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We would be on trails for hours at a time for days. Some days we’d be riding in bad weather. We might get tired and cranky. What if none of these were fun?
I needn’t have worried. We have plenty to talk about. We know each other better, now, than ever. We get tired and cranky. Yes, it’s fun. On the trail we talk about friends we have in common and friends we don’t, books, movies, and music. We talk about places we’ve lived or traveled, and other places we might tour. We talk about the things we can’t let go of — things we did, or failed to do; opportunities we missed, or took; choices, good and bad. We circle back to certain conversations and revisit what we heard or said.
Moving through a changing landscape, following the rivers or the coast, seems to open us to wider, if not deeper, thinking. Having no goal other than to reach our lodging (借宿) before dark presents an unanticipated opportunity to stretch our understanding of each other and ourselves. Unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be conducive to reflection.
The pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us longest and get richer over time. Among these are friendships that persist despite life’s weather, or because of it.
As I write, Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is under way. In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and complain, we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails.
4. Why did the author ask lots of questions before the tour?
A. She worried whether the biking trip was worthwhile.
B. She wondered if they still shared the same interests.
C. She doubted whether they prepared everything ahead.
D. She wasn’t sure if they were physically strong enough.
5. What did the author and her friends do when they toured together?
A. They had deep conversations about life experiences.
B. They recalled childhood friends vividly and repeatedly.
C. They enjoyed unhurried reflection with new friends.
D. They raced competitively along coastal landscapes.
6. How does the author feel about the upcoming Tour 3?
A. Anxious about potential disagreements.
B. Indifferent due to the familiarity of the route.
C. Excited for another opportunity to bond.
D. Hopeful because of the physical demands.
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Road trips help to fix broken relationships.
B. Traveling together creates new friendships easily.
C. A cycling journey deepens long-term friendships.
D. Biking adventures reconnect childhood companions.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了三位高中毕业后疏于联系女孩,通过骑行旅行重拾深厚友谊的故事。岁月流转中,她们的生活轨迹各异,但骑行之旅让彼此的心灵重新贴近,在交谈与分享中深化了情感纽带,彰显了友谊的坚韧与旅行的独特魅力。
4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I had worried some before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? (在第一次旅行之前,我有些担心。过了这么多年,我们对彼此有多了解?我们还有以前那么多共同点吗?我们有足够的话题可聊吗?)”可知,作者在旅行前问了很多问题是因为她想知道她们是否还有相同的兴趣。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“On the trail we talk about friends we have in common and friends we don’t, books, movies, and music. We talk about places we’ve lived or traveled, and other places we might tour. We talk about the things we can’t let go of — things we did, or failed to do; opportunities we missed, or took; choices, good and bad. We circle back to certain conversations and revisit what we heard or said. (在路上,我们谈论共同的朋友和不共同的朋友,书籍、电影和音乐。我们谈论我们生活过或旅行过的地方,以及其他我们可能去旅行的地方。我们谈论那些我们无法释怀的事情 —— 我们做过或未能做到的事情;我们错过或抓住的机会;好的和坏的选择。我们会回到某些对话中,重新审视我们听到或说过的话。)”可知,作者和她的朋友们在旅行时会对生活经历进行深入的交谈。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Already, Tour 3 is under way. In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and complain, we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails. (第三次旅行已经在进行了。在我们的信息中,我们互相开玩笑,测试我们的台词。我们计划、争论、抱怨,我们表达热情,我们开始对话,因为我们知道它们会在旅途中继续下去。)”可知,作者对即将到来的第三次旅行感到兴奋,因为这是又一个增进友谊的机会。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“After graduating from high school, the three of us girls kept in touch. But as we got older, years passed without seeing each other. We changed careers, circumstances and addresses. (高中毕业后,我们三个女孩一直保持联系。但随着年龄的增长,多年没有见面。我们换了工作、环境和地址。)”和最后一段中“As I write, Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is under way. (当我写这篇文章的时候,Chris和Rich正准备飞往加利福尼亚,在那里我们将在我家附近的蒙特雷半岛和大苏尔骑行。第三次旅行已经在进行了。)”可知,文章主要讲述了三个高中毕业后多年未见的女孩通过一起骑行旅行来增进友谊的故事,所以C项“A cycling journey deepens long-term friendships. (一次骑行之旅加深了长久的友谊。)”准确概括了文章的中心主旨。故选C项。
C
Most people walk. But that seemingly simple act is actually a series of movements, each requiring their own timing and path. Not only that, everybody has a special style of walking, and if you know someone well enough, you can probably identify him by his movements, even from far away.
A new paper published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior presents a technique for making assumptions about a person’s entire personality based on their walk. The 29 participants first took the Big Five Inventory, a commonly used personality test helping predict patterns in a person’s thought and behaviour, social skills, tendency to worry, creativity and intellect and extraversion (外向性). The researchers then recorded and analyzed the gaits (步态) of each participant.
“We found that larger relative-upper-to-lower body movement was a strong predictor of aggression,” says co-author Liam Satchell, a PhD student at the University of Portsmouth. This research mathematically explains previous research where “distinctive” gait was helpful in predicting upcoming crimes through security cameras. If police officers were trained in recognizing aggressive gaits, they might be able to prevent crimes before they happened. Satchell adds, “Possibly a further scientific exploration could reveal more evidence that the behaviors of another person can be predicted from how they move through space.”
One such study has come out recently. PLOS Computational Biology published a model to predict the probability of the path and timing of the parts of the movement shared by all people, and even the movements shared by people who have similar personality traits (特点) or are in the same moods — like people who are aggressive or bad-tempered.
Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, says, “In our model, we can combine information from thousands of movement patterns to get precise information about the structure of the movement, which ultimately allows us to judge whether the movement of an individual differs significantly from what we would expect to see in a given situation.”
8. What did the study participants experience in the research?
A. They had their personality assessed. B. They completed a series of physical tasks.
C. They were monitored through security cameras. D. They were observed in various social situations.
9. According to Satchell, in what field may their research results be applied?
A. Scientific exploration. B. Behavioral correction.
C. Security service. D. Personality development.
10. What can Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt’s model assist researchers to do?
A. Recover missing information. B. Copy human behaviors.
C. Adjust undesirable personalities. D. Identify unique movements.
11. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To discuss how experiments change our perspective.
B. To present a new model for predicting human behavior.
C. To highlight the importance of applying computer science.
D. To introduce the findings about a person’s pace and personality.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项研究发现可以通过人们的走路姿势来推测其个性,介绍了研究开展的经过以及未来的应用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The 29 participants first took the Big Five Inventory, a commonly used personality test helping predict patterns in a person’s thought and behaviour, social skills, tendency to worry, creativity and intellect and extraversion (外向性).(29名参与者首先进行了五大人格测试,这是一种常用的人格测试,有助于预测一个人的思维和行为模式、社交技能、担忧倾向、创造力、智力和外向性)”可知,研究参与者在研究中接受了性格评估。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This research mathematically explains previous research where “distinctive” gait was helpful in predicting upcoming crimes through security cameras. If police officers were trained in recognizing aggressive gaits, they might be able to prevent crimes before they happened.(这项研究从数学上解释了之前研究,即“独特的”步态有助于通过安全摄像头预测即将发生的犯罪。如果警察接受过识别攻击性步态的训练,他们可能能够在犯罪发生之前就预防犯罪)”可知,根据萨切尔的说法,他们的研究成果可能应用于安全服务。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In our model, we can combine information from thousands of movement patterns to get precise information about the structure of the movement, which ultimately allows us to judge whether the movement of an individual differs significantly from what we would expect to see in a given situation.(在我们的模型中,我们可以将来自数千种运动模式的信息结合起来,以获得有关运动结构的精确信息,最终使我们能够判断个体的运动是否与我们在给定情况下期望看到的明显不同)”可知,Lars Lau Rakêt的模型能帮助研究人员识别独特的动作。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A new paper published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior presents a technique for making assumptions about a person’s entire personality based on their walk.(发表在《非语言行为杂志》上的一篇新论文提出了一种根据一个人的走路姿势来推测其整个性格的方法)”结合文章主要说明了一项研究发现可以通过人们的走路姿势来推测其个性,介绍了研究开展的经过以及未来的应用。可知,文章的主要目的是介绍关于一个人的步伐和个性的发现。故选D。
D
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has appeared as a pioneer in educational technology. Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide.
Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to simulate human reasoning. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient teacher. For example, when a student struggles with a math equation, DeepSeek-R1 doesn’t just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies errors, and encourages critical thinking.
The model’s applications extend beyond academics. In language learning, it analyzes students’ pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time feedback. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can generate lesson plans matched with curriculum standards and even predict students’ learning difficulties based on historical data. Its “adaptive testing” feature creates customized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress.
However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek’s developers address this by emphasizing its role as a “supplement, not a replacement.” As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, “Our goal is to free teachers from repetitive tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity.”
Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments. While ethical (道德的) debates about AI in education persist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, blending technology with human wisdom.
12. What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models?
A. It uses pre-programmed answers.
B. It focuses on memorization techniques.
C. It replaces teachers in classrooms.
D. It employs reinforcement learning for reasoning.
13. The underlined word “customized” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______.
A. complicated B. personalized C. fixed D. outdated
14. What can be inferred about DeepSeek’s future plans?
A. It tends to replace teacher’s role in education.
B. It will focus on solving the ethical problems.
C. It aims to enhance students’ interactive learning.
D. It cares more about making profits than education.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise DeepSeek products.
B. To compare different AI models.
C. To analyze the risks of using AI in schools.
D. To discuss AI’s role in transforming education.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国人工智能公司 DeepSeek 及其最新模型 DeepSeek - R1 在教育领域的应用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 “Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre - programmed answers, DeepSeek - R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to simulate human reasoning.(与依赖预编程答案的传统人工智能模型不同,DeepSeek - R1 使用强化学习来模拟人类推理)” 可知,使 DeepSeek - R1 与传统人工智能模型不同的是它采用强化学习进行推理。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段 “Its “adaptive testing” feature creates customized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress.(它的“自适应测试”功能创建根据个人进度调整难度的 customized 测验)” 可知,根据个人进度调整难度,说明测验是个性化的。所以划线词为“个性化的”。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments.(展望未来,DeepSeek 旨在将虚拟现实(VR)集成到其平台中,让学生在沉浸式 3D 环境中探索历史事件或科学概念)” 可知,DeepSeek 未来计划通过虚拟现实技术让学生更深入地参与学习,即增强学生的互动式学习。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has emerged as a pioneer in educational technology. Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide.(随着人工智能的迅速发展,中国的人工智能公司DeepSeek已成为教育技术领域的先驱。其最新模型DeepSeek-R1结合了先进的机器学习方法,为全球学生提供个性化的学习解决方案)”可知,全文讨论了DeepSeek及其模型DeepSeek-R1在教育领域的应用和变革,探讨了AI在教育转型中的作用。故选D。
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。
People these days are posting about their lives on social media. But what if you’re a private and introverted person like me? What if you want to live in the moment instead of sharing every bit of your life? To be honest, it’s nobody’s business but your own. ___16___
Escape stalkers (跟踪者).
I’ve been a public person as a jazz vocalist for years. It exposed me to stalkers who felt they knew me, just because I was present everywhere. Needless to say, it brought me much anxiety and stress. At some point I asked myself — is being visible more important than my peace of mind? ___17___ The answer is a clear NO. I just want to spend life doing what I love with the people I love.
Protect privacy.
___18___ I need alone time to process what I’m struggling with and honest real talks with the people I trust. I might share a lesson learned from an experience, but now I won’t. I know that by keeping my life private on social media I may miss out on some connections, but I honor and respect the people in my life who value their privacy, so I am being mindful and protect that.
___19___
Another reason I keep my life private is that I prefer to be in the present moment and appreciate it fully. To be on your phone constantly, or to film everything you do, can be quite disrespectful to the people you spend your time with. You lose out on those spontaneous (自发的) moments and a deeper connection. I choose what I share and when I share it, and the rest is for experiencing life without expectations.
Live your life fully, regardless of whether the world knows it or not! ___20___ I just want you to know it’s OK if you don’t.
A. Experience a private life.
B. Live in the moment.
C. Don’t I really care about privacy?
D. Are my followers more important than my friends and family?
E. If you feel like sharing your life openly without hesitation, go for it.
F. Here are my reasons for not sharing my personal life on social media.
G. It can be quite challenging to go through tough moments with everyone watching.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者不愿在社交媒体上分享个人生活的原因。
【16题详解】
根据上文“What if you want to live in the moment instead of sharing every bit of your life? To be honest, it’s nobody’s business but your own.(如果你想活在当下而不是分享你生活的点点滴滴呢?老实说,这不关别人的事,只是你自己的事)”和下文“Escape stalkers (跟踪者).(躲避跟踪者)”和“Protect privacy.(保护隐私)”及下文内容可知,下文主要讲述了不想在网上分享生活的点点滴滴的原因,所以空处应该在上文提出的问题的基础上引出下文内容,故选项F. Here are my reasons for not sharing my personal life on social media.(以下是我不愿在社交媒体上分享个人生活的原因)承上启下,符合语意。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据上文“At some point I asked myself — is being visible more important than my peace of mind?(有时我问自己——被人看见比内心的平静更重要吗?)”和下文“The answer is a clear NO.(答案显然是否定的)”可知,空处应该还是一个一般疑问句的提问;选项D. Are my followers more important than my friends and family?(我的粉丝比我的朋友和家人更重要吗?)为一般疑问句,“more important...than...”的句式与上句一致,衔接合理,句意与下文的“I just want to spend life doing what I love with the people I love.(我只想和我爱的人一起做我爱的事)”相呼应,朋友和家人就是作者所爱的人,作者认为他们比粉丝更加重要。故选D。
【18题详解】
根据第三段主题句“Protect privacy. (保护隐私)”和下文“I need alone time to process what I’m struggling with and honest real talks with the people I trust.(我需要独处的时间来处理我正在挣扎的事情,和我信任的人真诚地交谈)”可知,空处应该是在解释作者要保护隐私的原因;选项G. It can be quite challenging to go through tough moments with everyone watching.(在所有人的注视下度过艰难时刻是相当具有挑战性的)指出了公开隐私给他带来了很大的困难,下文继续解释说明了想要保护隐私的原因,衔接合理,符合语境。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处为第四段的主题句,参考第二段和第三段可知,应用祈使句;根据下文“Another reason I keep my life private is that I prefer to be in the present moment and appreciate it fully.(另一个让我保持私人生活的原因是,我更喜欢活在当下,充分欣赏它)”和该段内容可知,第四段主要讲述了作者不喜欢公开分享个人生活的一个原因是他更喜欢活在当下,故选项B. Live in the moment.(活在当下)符合该段主题。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Live your life fully, regardless of whether the world knows it or not!(充实地过你的生活,不管世人知不知道!)”和下文“I just want you to know it’s OK if you don’t.(我只是想让你知道,如果你不这样做也没关系)”及文章内容可知,下文中的“if you don’t do that”应该是指如果你不在社交媒体上分享个人生活,所以空处应该表示如果你想要在社交媒体上分享个人生活是可以的,即不管世人知不知道都是可以的。选项E. If you feel like sharing your life openly without hesitation, go for it.(如果你想毫不犹豫地公开分享你的生活,那就去做吧)表达了这层含义,与上下文语意衔接。故选E。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share an exciting activity our class held last Friday — Plogging!
We gathered at the entrance to the park at 8:00 in the morning, equipped with gloves and trash bags. Organized by our teachers, we were divided into groups to compete to collect as much waste as possible. While jogging, we picked up litter along the paths. By the end, we’d filled multiple bags and left the park sparkling clean.
It was really a “clean” exercise and incredibly rewarding! Not only did we exercise, but we also contributed to the environment. I’ve realized how small efforts can make a big difference. Have you tried anything similar? Looking forward to hearing from you!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

One month before Lucy Wilson’s 10th birthday, a new restaurant named “Funtime” opened in her neighborhood. Lucy and her parents went there for lunch, and they found that Funtime had a special room filled with all sorts of games and delicious food. The absolute highlight of that place was “Bubbles the Clown (小丑)”, who performed many fun tricks and created beautiful balloon animals and flowers. It filled Lucy’s fantasy and curiosity.
“Mom and Dad,” Lucy said, “I want my birthday party to be at this place. I love ‘Bubbles the Clown’.” Her direct wish was that she could enjoy the big day with friends there. “We like this place, too, Lucy. We will tell the restaurant that we want to hold your birthday party here.” Her parents agreed to her request. Lucy was excited and said, “I can’t wait until my friends come here for my birthday. I believe they will love ‘Bubbles the Clown’, too.”
Lucy went home and mailed out her party invitations. Then she crossed off the days on her calendar. She was eager for her special day. Well, the days went by quickly, and it was two days before her birthday party. Lucy was talking so excitedly about the party to her friends that she didn’t see the rock on the sidewalk ahead of her. Consequently, she tripped over the rock and cut her ankle. Her friends immediately rushed to the principal for help, who called Lucy’s parents and then called an ambulance.
Lucy was taken to the emergency room, and before long, she rested in a hospital bed. While her ankle was not broken, it was badly hurt. The doctor told Lucy that she needed to rest at home and that she could not move for about one week.
“But I will have my birthday party in two days. My friends will be there, and ‘Bubbles the Clown’ will be there, too!” Lucy cried. She couldn’t hold back her tears. Her mother comforted her, “We’ll figure something else out.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Lucy’s parents canceled the party at Funtime. Seeing Lucy’s disappointment and frustration over her injury, her parents were determined to make her 10th birthday special, even if it meant adjusting their plans. They decided to have a party at home and invited Lucy’s friends. With the help of Lucy’s friends, they transformed their living room into a joyful party space with colorful decorations and delicious food. Of course, a surprise visit from “Bubbles the Clown” was essential. Lucy was happy that day. However, she still felt disappointed about not being able to spend this special moment at Funtime. Her parents just smiled at her, expressing their love for her.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and in front of the door stood “Bubbles the Clown”. Lucy was so surprised that she could not speak. Learning that it was a surprise her parents had arranged for her, Lucy felt surrounded by love and joy. “Bubbles the Clown” performed all the tricks he did at Funtime. Then he opened a big suitcase and took out beautiful balloon animals and flowers. Lucy and her friends had really a good time. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Lucy’s 10th birthday turned out to be a day filled with surprise, happiness, and sweet memories that she would treasure for years to come.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一个小女孩Lucy Wilson为了庆祝她的10岁生日,原本计划在名为“Funtime”的新餐厅举办派对,但因意外受伤而不得不取消。尽管如此,她的父母为了让她度过一个特别的生日,决定在家举办派对,并邀请了她喜爱的“Bubbles the Clown”前来助兴。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Lucy的父母取消了在“Funtime”餐厅的派对。”以及第二段首句内容“突然,门铃响了,“Bubbles the Clown”站在门口。”可知,第一段可描写看到失望的Lucy,她的父母决定在家举办派对。
②由第二段首句内容“突然,门铃响了,“Bubbles the Clown”站在门口。”可知,第二段可描写原来Lucy的父母还请来了“Bubbles the Clown”,这一切都让这个生日成为Lucy美好的记忆。

第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights
When it comes to booking flights, travelers may naturally head to an airline’s website. However, that’s not always the best choice. The best flight booking site can vary depending on your situation.
Google Flights
For ease, speed and features, Google Flights is arguably the best website for flight searches. Search results appear almost immediately. Filters (过滤器) let you narrow down to nonstop choices, and limit by price or factor in the price of a bag. One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices.
Kayak
Perhaps the most important reason to use Kayak instead of Google Flights is that it can catch better deals. For example, we found a $550 round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Barcelona using Google Flights. Kayak found a way to lower that price to just $472.
Capital One Travel
If you are a Capital One cardholder, Capital One Travel might just be the best choice as you can get up to $300 off travel booked through the Capital One Travel portal each cardholder year. Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days.
Kiwi
Are you willing to book a trip as two separate tickets in order to save money? That’s the idea behind Kiwi. It could mean taking a bus or train from your home city to another to catch a flight to your destination. But if a delay or cancellation causes you to miss your connection, the second airline/bus/train company won’t honor your ticket.
1. What is a disadvantage of Google Flights?
A. It filters nonstop flights. B. It shows limited search results.
C. It does not show the price of a bag. D. It may not present the cheapest choices.
2. Which of the following offers credit card rewards?
A. Google Flights. B. Kayak. C. Capital One Travel. D. Kiwi.
3. Where is the text probably from?
A. An airline’s website. B. A finance journal.
C. A business magazine. D. A flight booking guide.
B
After graduating from high school, the three of us girls kept in touch. But as we got older, years passed without seeing each other. We changed careers, circumstances and addresses.
In the spring of 2014, after Rich and Chris spent a weekend biking trails together in Virginia, Chris suggested the three of us plan a tour. I had worried some before that first tour. How well did we know each other after all these years? Did we have as much in common as we used to? Would we have enough to talk about? We would be on trails for hours at a time for days. Some days we’d be riding in bad weather. We might get tired and cranky. What if none of these were fun?
I needn’t have worried. We have plenty to talk about. We know each other better, now, than ever. We get tired and cranky. Yes, it’s fun. On the trail we talk about friends we have in common and friends we don’t, books, movies, and music. We talk about places we’ve lived or traveled, and other places we might tour. We talk about the things we can’t let go of — things we did, or failed to do; opportunities we missed, or took; choices, good and bad. We circle back to certain conversations and revisit what we heard or said.
Moving through a changing landscape, following the rivers or the coast, seems to open us to wider, if not deeper, thinking. Having no goal other than to reach our lodging (借宿) before dark presents an unanticipated opportunity to stretch our understanding of each other and ourselves. Unhurried days in nature in the company of friends turn out to be conducive to reflection.
The pleasures that we don’t anticipate stay with us longest and get richer over time. Among these are friendships that persist despite life’s weather, or because of it.
As I write Chris and Rich are preparing to fly to California, where we’ll ride the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, near my home. Already, Tour 3 is under way. In our messages we joke with one another, testing out our lines. We plan, we disagree and complain, we express enthusiasm, and we start conversations, knowing they’ll continue on the trails.
4. Why did the author ask lots of questions before the tour?
A. She worried whether the biking trip was worthwhile.
B. She wondered if they still shared the same interests.
C. She doubted whether they prepared everything ahead.
D. She wasn’t sure if they were physically strong enough.
5. What did the author and her friends do when they toured together?
A. They had deep conversations about life experiences.
B. They recalled childhood friends vividly and repeatedly.
C. They enjoyed unhurried reflection with new friends.
D. They raced competitively along coastal landscapes.
6. How does the author feel about the upcoming Tour 3?
A. Anxious about potential disagreements.
B. Indifferent due to the familiarity of the route.
C. Excited for another opportunity to bond.
D. Hopeful because of the physical demands.
7. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Road trips help to fix broken relationships.
B. Traveling together creates new friendships easily.
C. A cycling journey deepens long-term friendships.
D. Biking adventures reconnect childhood companions.
C
Most people walk. But that seemingly simple act is actually a series of movements, each requiring their own timing and path. Not only that, everybody has a special style of walking, and if you know someone well enough, you can probably identify him by his movements, even from far away.
A new paper published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior presents a technique for making assumptions about a person’s entire personality based on their walk. The 29 participants first took the Big Five Inventory, a commonly used personality test helping predict patterns in a person’s thought and behaviour, social skills, tendency to worry, creativity and intellect and extraversion (外向性). The researchers then recorded and analyzed the gaits (步态) of each participant.
“We found that larger relative-upper-to-lower body movement was a strong predictor of aggression,” says co-author Liam Satchell, a PhD student at the University of Portsmouth. This research mathematically explains previous research where “distinctive” gait was helpful in predicting upcoming crimes through security cameras. If police officers were trained in recognizing aggressive gaits, they might be able to prevent crimes before they happened. Satchell adds, “Possibly a further scientific exploration could reveal more evidence that the behaviors of another person can be predicted from how they move through space.”
One such study has come out recently. PLOS Computational Biology published a model to predict the probability of the path and timing of the parts of the movement shared by all people, and even the movements shared by people who have similar personality traits (特点) or are in the same moods — like people who are aggressive or bad-tempered.
Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, says, “In our model, we can combine information from thousands of movement patterns to get precise information about the structure of the movement, which ultimately allows us to judge whether the movement of an individual differs significantly from what we would expect to see in a given situation.”

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company, has appeared as a pioneer in educational technology. Its latest model, DeepSeek-R1, combines advanced machine learning methods to provide personalized learning solutions for students worldwide.
Unlike traditional AI models that rely on pre-programmed answers, DeepSeek-R1 uses reinforcement (强化) learning to simulate human reasoning. This allows it to guide students through problem-solving step by step, much like a patient teacher. For example, when a student struggles with a math equation, DeepSeek-R1 doesn’t just give the answer; it breaks down the logic, identifies errors, and encourages critical thinking.
The model’s applications extend beyond academics. In language learning it analyzes students’ pronunciation through AI speech recognition and offers real-time feedback. For teachers, DeepSeek-R1 can generate lesson plans matched with curriculum standards and even predict students’ learning difficulties based on historical data. Its “adaptive testing” feature creates customized quizzes that adjust difficulty according to individual progress.
However, challenges remain. Critics argue that over-reliance on AI might reduce human interaction in education. DeepSeek’s developers address this by emphasizing its role as a “supplement, not a replacement.” As Dr. Li, a DeepSeek researcher, stated, “Our goal is to free teachers from repetitive tasks so they can focus on inspiring creativity.”
Looking ahead, DeepSeek aims to integrate virtual reality (VR) into its platform, allowing students to explore historical events or scientific concepts in immersive 3D environments. While ethical (道德的) debates about AI in education persist, one thing is clear: tools like DeepSeek are reshaping how we learn, blending technology with human wisdom.
12. What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from traditional AI models?
A. It uses pre-programmed answers.
B. It focuses on memorization techniques.
C. It replaces teachers in classrooms.
D. It employs reinforcement learning for reasoning.
13. The underlined word “customized” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ______.
A. complicated B. personalized C. fixed D. outdated
14. What can be inferred about DeepSeek’s future plans?
A. It tends to replace teacher’s role in education.
B. It will focus on solving the ethical problems.
C. It aims to enhance students’ interactive learning.
D. It cares more about making profits than education.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise DeepSeek products.
B. To compare different AI models.
C. To analyze the risks of using AI in schools.
D. To discuss AI’s role in transforming education.

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。
People these days are posting about their lives on social media. But what if you’re a private and introverted person like me? What if you want to live in the moment instead of sharing every bit of your life? To be honest, it’s nobody’s business but your own. ___16___
Escape stalkers (跟踪者).
I’ve been a public person as a jazz vocalist for years. It exposed me to stalkers who felt they knew me, just because I was present everywhere. Needless to say, it brought me much anxiety and stress. At some point I asked myself — is being visible more important than my peace of mind? ___17___ The answer is a clear NO. I just want to spend life doing what I love with the people I love.
Protect privacy.
___18___ I need alone time to process what I’m struggling with and honest real talks with the people I trust. I might share a lesson learned from an experience, but now I won’t. I know that by keeping my life private on social media I may miss out on some connections, but I honor and respect the people in my life who value their privacy, so I am being mindful and protect that.
___19___
Another reason I keep my life private is that I prefer to be in the present moment and appreciate it fully. To be on your phone constantly, or to film everything you do, can be quite disrespectful to the people you spend your time with. You lose out on those spontaneous (自发的) moments and a deeper connection. I choose what I share and when I share it, and the rest is for experiencing life without expectations.
Live your life fully, regardless of whether the world knows it or not! ___20___ I just want you to know it’s OK if you don’t.
A. Experience a private life.
B. Live in the moment.
C. Don’t I really care about privacy?
D. Are my followers more important than my friends and family?
E. If you feel like sharing your life openly without hesitation, go for it.

One month before Lucy Wilson’s 10th birthday, a new restaurant named “Funtime” opened in her neighborhood. Lucy and her parents went there for lunch, and they found that Funtime had a special room filled with all sorts of games and delicious food. The absolute highlight of that place was “Bubbles the Clown (小丑)”, who performed many fun tricks and created beautiful balloon animals and flowers. It filled Lucy’s fantasy and curiosity.
“Mom and Dad,” Lucy said, “I want my birthday party to be at this place. I love ‘Bubbles the Clown’.” Her direct wish was that she could enjoy the big day with friends there. “We like this place, too, Lucy. We will tell the restaurant that we want to hold your birthday party here.” Her parents agreed to her request. Lucy was excited and said, “I can’t wait until my friends come here for my birthday. I believe they will love ‘Bubbles the Clown’, too.”
Lucy went home and mailed out her party invitations. Then she crossed off the days on her calendar. She was eager for her special day. Well, the days went by quickly, and it was two days before her birthday party. Lucy was talking so excitedly about the party to her friends that she didn’t see the rock on the sidewalk ahead of her. Consequently, she tripped over the rock and cut her ankle. Her friends immediately rushed to the principal for help, who called Lucy’s parents and then called an ambulance.
Lucy was taken to the emergency room, and before long, she rested in a hospital bed. While her ankle was not broken, it was badly hurt. The doctor told Lucy that she needed to rest at home and that she could not move for about one week.
“But I will have my birthday party in two days. My friends will be there, and ‘Bubbles the Clown’ will be there, too!” Lucy cried. She couldn’t hold back her tears. Her mother comforted her, “We’ll figure something else out.”
