So I dance daily. The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock -and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation. Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I m even planning a three month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse myself in tango culture. The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me. Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango. A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.” 24. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Frightened. D. Surprised. 25. Why did the older woman talk with the author? A. To make fun of her. B. To encourage her to dance. C. To teach her dancing skills. D. To discuss Greek wedding dance. 26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Tango lets her live life fully. B. Dancing makes her younger. C. Aging should be faced actively. D. New challenges bring true happiness. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Journey to Buenos Aires. B. Dancing Beyond Age Limits. C. Challenges of Learning Tango. D. Overcoming Fear Through Tango. C Alejandro Otero was out of town on vacation last month when his son called from their house in Florida, telling him something incredible. His son, 19, was home alone when hearing a loud crash from inside the house, unsure how to tell him what happened, as it was unlike anything he had seen. After rushing back home, Otero had to check security cameras to understand what happened. It seemed like something fell through the house, causing it to shake violently. Otero called the police department. An officer pulled the object from the floor. The object was cylindrical (圆柱形的), with one end melted and the other smooth. Otero posted some images and video online, and eventually recognized it as a battery pallet (托盘) from the International Space Station that NASA had released for uncontrolled reentry. The incident raised concerns about space debris (残骸) and its damage. The cylindrical object can easily pass through walls or injure anyone in its path. If Otero’s son had been in the direct impact zone, the consequences might have been serious. Otero’s homeowner estimated the damage at over $ 15,000. This figure, however, only accounts for a single household; space debris may damage entire neighborhoods or public buildings. Otero’s homeowner is in the process of filing a claim with NASA, which includes both insured and uninsured damages. Space law expert Mark Sundahl explained that determining its duty can be complicated. The debris is from a US module, so it becomes a domestic legal issue. Sundahl notes that while space debris reentries are common, confirmed cases of damage on land are rare. The International Space Station, nearing the end of its life, is also a subject of a “deorbit” plan. Otero hopes no one else has to experience such a shock. He is grateful that no one was physically hurt and hopes lessons can be learned to prevent future incidents. 28. How did Otero’s son feel when the incident took place? A. Curious. B. Hesitant. C. Disappointed. D. Astonished. 29. Why did Otero post some images and video online? A. To get in touch with NASA. B. To repair the damaged house. C. To identify the fallen object. D. To share the special experience. 30. What is the main concern raised by the incident? A. The cost of repairing the damage. B. The complexity of legal procedures. C. The frequency of space debris reentries. D. The potential danger of space debris to us. 31. What does Sundahl think of the incident? A. It’s really frightening. B. It’s common in the USA. C. It’s a small probability. D. It’s a huge threat to people. D Wild African elephants have the rare ability to address each other with name-like calls, according to a new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. This discovery was made by researchers from Colorado State University (CSU), who used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contain a name-like component that identifies the intended recipient. The researchers played back recorded calls to some elephants and found that the animals reacted favorably to the calls addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. The behaviors had been suspected based on previous observations, but the new study provided concrete evidence. Lead author Michael Pardo explained that while dolphins and parrots call each other by “name” through imitation (模仿) of the addressee’s signature call, elephants do not rely on imitation. Instead, their method is more similar to how human names function, suggesting a capacity for abstract thought. Co-author George Wittemyer emphasized the significance of arbitrary (任意的) vocal labels, which indicate advanced cognitive skills. Arbitrary communication, where a sound represents an idea without imitating it, greatly expands communication capability. This ability is uncommon among animals but is necessary for identifying individuals by name. The study spanned four years and included 14 months of intensive fieldwork in Kenya. The researchers followed elephants in vehicles, recording their vocalizations. They captured about 470 distinct calls in Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park. The research revealed that elephants, like humans, do not always address each other by name in conversation. Naming was more common over long distances or when adults were talking to calves. Wittemyer noted that the study provides insight into possible drivers of why humans evolved these abilities. The research also strengthens the case for elephant conservation, as elephants are classified as endangered due to poaching (偷猎) for their ivory tusks and habitat loss from development. Understanding their communication could help reduce conflicts with humans, making it easier to coexist with these large and sometimes destructive animals. 32. How did the elephants deal with the recorded calls? A. They stayed away from them. B. They ignored them purposely. C. They imitated them like human. D. They responded to them positively. 33. What can we know about the elephants’ name-like calls? A. They are common in the wild. B. They sound like human names. C. They are the same to those of dolphins. D. They show the elephants’ thinking ability. 34. Which of the following can best describe the process of the study? A. Efficient. B. Interesting. C. Tough. D. Unreliable. 35. What can the study contribute to? A. Developing habitats. B. Protecting elephants. C. Stopping poaching. D. Classifying danger. 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。 Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives, influencing everything from daily tasks to complex decision-making processes.

The proverb is ____56____ (literal) translated as “to read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.” The saying ____57____ (quote) for the first time in Notes from the Painting-Meditation Studio ____58____ (write) by Dong Qichang, a famous painter, calligrapher and politician in the late years of the Ming Dynasty. Dong’s saying was urging people ____59____ (study) more and gain knowledge, then put ____60____ they learned into practice while further broadening their horizons. He thought this was the ideal philosophy of Chinese scholars. However, later on, some people twisted Dong’s saying into “to travel ten thousand miles beats reading ten thousand books”. ____61____ latter version obviously emphasizes that experience is more important and meaningful than what one can learn from books. The two arguments, no matter how you understand them, both compare reading ____62____ traveling. But this is not a unique Chinese idea. Westerners have had similar reflections. For instance, a western ____63____ (special), once said: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” An American investment banker wrote in his book, “I am a ____64____ (passion) traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.” All these sayings and quotations seem to agree on one point: By seeing new ____65____ (place) and meeting new people, travel can be as enlightening and attractive as reading books. 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，上周末你在公园参与了清理垃圾的志愿者活动。请你就此写一篇短文，向你校英语报投稿，内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动经过； 3. 你的收获。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Cleaning Up for a Greener Park ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 67. 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。 David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain. After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed. One afternoon as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David s potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him. “Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.” Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder., He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.” With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next school year brought another writing competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意做题时先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?

It is the home of England’s rugby team and has hosted international matches, including the Six Nations games.(特威克纳姆体育场是世界上最大的专门用于橄榄球联盟的场馆。它是英格兰橄榄球队的主场，曾举办过包括六国赛在内的国际比赛)”可知，特威克纳姆体育场的特别之处在于它举办很多橄榄球比赛。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Stamford Bridge部分中“Visitors can also take a tour of the stadium, including access to the dressing rooms and the pitch.(游客还可以参观体育场，包括进入更衣室和球场)”可知，在斯坦福桥球场，游客可以参观其内部设施。故选A项。 B I believe dancing is in my nature, driven by my heartbeat, blood pulse, and the music in my mind. So I dance daily. The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock -and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation. Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I m even planning a three month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse myself in tango culture. The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me. Moments later an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango. A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.” 24. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Bored. B. Excited. C. Frightened. D. Surprised. 25. Why did the older woman talk with the author? A. To make fun of her. B. To encourage her to dance. C. To teach her dancing skills. D. To discuss Greek wedding dance. 26. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Tango lets her live life fully. B. Dancing makes her younger. C. Aging should be faced actively. D. New challenges bring true happiness. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Journey to Buenos Aires. B. Dancing Beyond Age Limits. C. Challenges of Learning Tango. D. Overcoming Fear Through Tango. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者对舞蹈的热爱，尤其是探戈，以及舞蹈对她生活的意义。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me.(我第一次去跳探戈时，太intimidated了，不敢上场。我记得在希腊克里特岛的一个乡村婚礼上也有过类似的经历，当时我因为复杂的舞步让我感到困惑，所以只能站在一旁。)”可知，作者因为舞步复杂而不敢上场，所以“intimidated”是“害怕的”意思。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance?” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.(过了一会儿，一位年长的女士看穿了我的心思，坐在我旁边说：“如果你加入跳舞，你会觉得自己很傻。如果你不跳，你也会觉得傻。那么，为什么不跳呢？”她补充说，如果我不跳，他们会知道我是个傻瓜，但如果我尝试了，他们会对我有好感。她的话激励我接受探戈的挑战。)”可知，年长女士的话是为了鼓励作者去跳舞。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”(我的目标是尽可能长时间地跳舞，然后心满意足地老去，知道自己活得很充实。所以，当人们质疑我这个年纪跳探戈时，我说：“不，我没有疯。我只是在好好生活而已。”)”可知，作者想告诉我们探戈让她的生活变得充实。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango? At your age? You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”(一位朋友把我对探戈的热爱视为一种不切实际的追求，说道：“探戈？你这把年纪了还跳？你肯定是疯了！”但我认为这是一个深思熟虑后的决定。我对探戈的热情，掩盖了我对衰老和枯燥生活的恐惧。我渴望体验开启新事物的刺激感，这种新事物能挑战我的心智、身体和精神。我的目标是尽可能长久地跳下去，然后心满意足地老去，因为我知道自己活得很充实。所以，当人们质疑我这个年纪还跳探戈时，我会说：“不，我没疯。我只是在好好生活而已。”)”可知，文章主要讲述作者不受年龄限制，热爱并坚持跳探戈，体现了舞蹈超越年龄界限的主题。所以短文的最佳标题为“超越年龄界限的舞蹈”。故选B项。 C Alejandro Otero was out of town on vacation last month when his son called from their house in Florida, telling him something incredible. His son, 19, was home alone when hearing a loud crash from inside the house, unsure how to tell him what happened, as it was unlike anything he had seen. After rushing back home, Otero had to check security cameras to understand what happened. It seemed like something fell through the house, causing it to shake violently. Otero called the police department. An officer pulled the object from the floor. The object was cylindrical (圆柱形的), with one end melted and the other smooth. Otero posted some images and video online, and eventually recognized it as a battery pallet (托盘) from the International Space Station that NASA had released for uncontrolled reentry. The incident raised concerns about space debris (残骸) and its damage. The cylindrical object can easily pass through walls or injure anyone in its path. If Otero’s son had been in the direct impact zone, the consequences might have been serious. Otero’s homeowner estimated the damage at over $ 15,000. This figure, however, only accounts for a single household; space debris may damage entire neighborhoods or public buildings. Otero’s homeowner is in the process of filing a claim with NASA, which includes both insured and uninsured damages. Space law expert Mark Sundahl explained that determining its duty can be complicated. The debris is from a US module, so it becomes a domestic legal issue. Sundahl notes that while space debris reentries are common, confirmed cases of damage on land are rare. The International Space Station, nearing the end of its life, is also a subject of a “deorbit” plan. Otero hopes no one else has to experience such a shock. He is grateful that no one was physically hurt and hopes lessons can be learned to prevent future incidents. 28. How did Otero’s son feel when the incident took place? A. Curious. B. Hesitant. C. Disappointed. D. Astonished. 29. Why did Otero post some images and video online? A. To get in touch with NASA. B. To repair the damaged house. C. To identify the fallen object. D. To share the special experience. 30. What is the main concern raised by the incident? A. The cost of repairing the damage. B. The complexity of legal procedures. C. The frequency of space debris reentries. D. The potential danger of space debris to us. 31. What does Sundahl think of the incident? A. It’s really frightening. B. It’s common in the USA. C. It’s a small probability. D. It’s a huge threat to people. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了太空垃圾坠落佛罗里达民宅引发的事件及关注。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Alejandro Otero was out of town on vacation last month when his son called from their house in Florida, telling him something incredible. His son, 19, was home alone when hearing a loud crash from inside the house, unsure how to tell him what happened, as it was unlike anything he had seen.(上个月，亚历杭德罗·奥特罗出城度假时，他的儿子从佛罗里达州的家里打来电话，告诉他一件不可思议的事情。他19岁的儿子独自在家，突然听到屋内传来一声巨响，不知道该怎么告诉他发生了什么，因为这与他所见过的任何事情都不一样)”可推知，因为这与他所见过的任何事情都不同，Otero的儿子在事件发生时感到很惊讶，不知道该如何告诉父亲发生了什么，故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Otero posted some images and video online, and eventually recognized it as a battery pallet (托盘) from the International Space Station that NASA had released for uncontrolled reentry.(Otero在网上发布了一些图片和视频，最终确认这是美国国家航空航天局为不受控制的再入大气层而释放的国际空间站上的一个电池托盘)”可知，Otero在网上发布了一些图片和视频，是为了确认掉落的物体是什么。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The incident raised concerns about space debris (残骸) and its damage. The cylindrical object can easily pass through walls or injure anyone in its path. If Otero’s son had been in the direct impact zone, the consequences might have been serious.(这一事件引发了人们对太空垃圾及其危害的担忧。圆柱形物体可以轻易穿透墙壁或伤害途中的任何人。如果Otero的儿子在直接撞击区，后果可能会很严重)”可知，该事件引发了人们对太空垃圾及其潜在危险的担忧。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Sundahl notes that while space debris reentries are common, confirmed cases of damage on land are rare.(Sundahl指出，虽然太空垃圾再入大气层很常见，但陆地上确认的损坏案例却很少)”可知，Sundahl认为太空垃圾再入大气层很常见，但陆地上确认的损坏案例却很少，即太空垃圾造成损坏的概率很小。故选C。 D Wild African elephants have the rare ability to address each other with name-like calls, according to a new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. This discovery was made by researchers from Colorado State University (CSU), who used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contain a name-like component that identifies the intended recipient. The researchers played back recorded calls to some elephants and found that the animals reacted favorably to the calls addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. The behaviors had been suspected based on previous observations, but the new study provided concrete evidence. Lead author Michael Pardo explained that while dolphins and parrots call each other by “name” through imitation (模仿) of the addressee’s signature call, elephants do not rely on imitation. Instead, their method is more similar to how human names function, suggesting a capacity for abstract thought. Co-author George Wittemyer emphasized the significance of arbitrary (任意的) vocal labels, which indicate advanced cognitive skills. Arbitrary communication, where a sound represents an idea without imitating it, greatly expands communication capability. This ability is uncommon among animals but is necessary for identifying individuals by name. The study spanned four years and included 14 months of intensive fieldwork in Kenya. The researchers followed elephants in vehicles, recording their vocalizations. They captured about 470 distinct calls in Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park. The research revealed that elephants, like humans, do not always address each other by name in conversation. Naming was more common over long distances or when adults were talking to calves. Wittemyer noted that the study provides insight into possible drivers of why humans evolved these abilities. The research also strengthens the case for elephant conservation, as elephants are classified as endangered due to poaching (偷猎) for their ivory tusks and habitat loss from development. Understanding their communication could help reduce conflicts with humans, making it easier to coexist with these large and sometimes destructive animals. 32. How did the elephants deal with the recorded calls? A. They stayed away from them. B. They ignored them purposely. C. They imitated them like human. D. They responded to them positively. 33. What can we know about the elephants’ name-like calls? A. They are common in the wild. B. They sound like human names. C. They are the same to those of dolphins. D. They show the elephants’ thinking ability. 34. Which of the following can best describe the process of the study? A. Efficient. B. Interesting. C. Tough. D. Unreliable. 35. What can the study contribute to? A. Developing habitats. B. Protecting elephants. C. Stopping poaching. D. Classifying danger. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现非洲象能用类名字叫声交流，不依赖模仿，类似人类名字功能，体现抽象思维，该研究有助于大象保护及理解人类进化。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers played back recorded calls to some elephants and found that the animals reacted favorably to the calls addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker.( 研究人员回放了一些大象的通话记录，发现大象会通过回叫或接近说话者来对他们的呼叫做出积极的反应。)”可知，研究人员向大象播放录制的叫声，大象通过回叫或靠近扬声器对针对它们的叫声做出了积极的反应。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Instead, their method is more similar to how human names function, suggesting a capacity for abstract thought.( 相反，他们的方法更类似于人类名字的功能，表明人类有抽象思维的能力。)”可知，大象类似名字的叫声的使用方式更像人类名字的功能，这表明它们具有抽象思维能力，即展示了大象的思考能力。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The study spanned four years and included 14 months of intensive field - work in Kenya. The researchers followed elephants in vehicles, recording their vocalizations.( 这项研究历时四年，包括在肯尼亚进行了14个月的密集实地考察。研究人员在车辆中跟踪大象，记录它们的叫声。)”可知，这项研究持续了四年，还包括在肯尼亚 14 个月的高强度实地工作，研究人员乘车跟踪大象记录它们的叫声。这表明研究过程是艰难的。故选C项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The research also strengthens the case for elephant conservation, as elephants are classified as endangered due to poaching (偷猎) for their ivory tusks and habitat loss from development.

AI should be seen as a powerful tool designed to assist and enhance human capabilities, rather than replace them. ____36____, but it lacks the creativity, empathy, and ethical judgment that humans possess. For example, while AI can generate music, it cannot replicate the emotional depth and originality of human compositions. ____37____. In healthcare, AI can assist in early disease diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, significantly improving patient outcomes. In education, AI can provide personalized learning experiences, helping students learn at their own pace and in their own style. It can also automate administrative tasks, freeing up time for teachers to focus on teaching. Additionally, AI can tackle dangerous or monotonous tasks, such as disaster response or repetitive manufacturing jobs enhancing safety and efficiency. ____38____. One major concern is the potential for job displacement, particularly in sectors where tasks are highly repetitive or data-driven. Besides, AI systems can continue errors present in their training data, leading to unfair results. ____39____, as AI systems often require large amounts of personal data to function effectively. Ensuring data security and protecting individual privacy are critical challenges that need to be addressed. To maximize the benefits of AI while mitigating its risks, a strong ethical framework and regulatory environment are essential. Governments and organizations should establish clear guidelines and regulations to ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly. ____40____. A. Privacy issues are another significant concern B. AI has the potential to change various sectors C. AI is the product of technological development D. It is essential to use AI with a clear understanding E. It performs well in processing data and repetitive tasks F. While AI offers great benefits, it also presents significant risks G. This involves promoting data diversity and protecting users’ privacy 【答案】36. E 37. B 38. F 39. A 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了人工智能的作用、在多领域的潜力、存在的风险及应对措施。 【36题详解】 上文“AI should be seen as a powerful tool designed to assist and enhance human capabilities, rather than replace them.(人工智能应该被视为一种强大的工具，旨在辅助和增强人类的能力，而不是取代它们)”说明人工智能是一种工具，旨在辅助人类。下文“but it lacks the creativity, empathy, and ethical judgment that humans possess.(但它缺乏人类所拥有的创造力、同理心和道德判断)”通过转折说明人工智能的不足，因此空处应先说明人工智能的优势，与后文形成转折关系。所以E项“它在处理数据和重复性任务方面表现出色”符合语境，既体现了人工智能的优势，又能与后文的but形成转折。故选E。 【37题详解】 下文“In healthcare, AI can assist in early disease diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, significantly improving patient outcomes. In education, AI can provide personalized learning experiences, helping students learn at their own pace and in their own style.(在医疗保健领域，人工智能可以帮助早期疾病诊断和个性化治疗计划，显著改善患者的预后。在教育领域，人工智能可以提供个性化的学习体验，帮助学生按照自己的节奏和风格学习)”列举了人工智能在医疗、教育等多个领域的应用，说明人工智能对不同行业的影响。空处为本段的主旨句，所以B项“人工智能有潜力改变各个行业”是对后文内容的概括，空处与后文为总述和分述的关系。故选B。 【38题详解】 下文“One major concern is the potential for job displacement, particularly in sectors where tasks are highly repetitive or data-driven. Besides, AI systems can continue errors present in their training data, leading to unfair results.(一个主要问题是工作岗位流失的可能性，特别是在任务高度重复或数据驱动的行业。此外，人工智能系统可能会继续存在训练数据中的错误，从而导致不公平的结果)”说明人工智能带来的风险，而前文第三段主要讲述了人工智能的优势，因此空处应起到承上启下的作用，引出人工智能的风险。所以F项“虽然人工智能带来了巨大的好处，但它也带来了重大的风险”符合语境，既承接了前文的优势，又引出了后文的风险。故选F。 【39题详解】 上文“Besides, AI systems can continue errors present in their training data, leading to unfair results.(此外，人工智能系统可能会延续训练数据中存在的错误，导致不公平的结果)”说明人工智能的一个风险，下文“as AI systems often require large amounts of personal data to function effectively.(因为人工智能系统通常需要大量的个人数据才能有效运行)”解释了该风险的原因，空处和前文为并列关系，进一步说明人工智能系统存在的问题，并和下文形成因果关系。所以A项“隐私问题是另一个重要的担忧”符合语境，“another significant concern”与前文的“One major concern”相呼应，且后文内容是对隐私问题的解释。故选A。 【40题详解】 上文“Governments and organizations should establish clear guidelines and regulations to ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly.(政府和组织应该制定明确的指导方针和法规，以确保人工智能的开发和使用是负责任的)”说明需要制定规则确保人工智能合理使用，空处应进一步说明具体做法。所以G项“这包括促进数据多样性和保护用户隐私” 是对前文“明确指导方针和法规”的具体阐述，“this”指代前文的“establish clear guidelines and regulations”。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C.D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a sunny afternoon when I boarded the train with my young son, Tommy.

The proverb is ____56____ (literal) translated as “to read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.” The saying ____57____ (quote) for the first time in Notes from the Painting-Meditation Studio ____58____ (write) by Dong Qichang, a famous painter, calligrapher and politician in the late years of the Ming Dynasty. Dong’s saying was urging people ____59____ (study) more and gain knowledge, then put ____60____ they learned into practice while further broadening their horizons. He thought this was the ideal philosophy of Chinese scholars. However, later on, some people twisted Dong’s saying into “to travel ten thousand miles beats reading ten thousand books”. ____61____ latter version obviously emphasizes that experience is more important and meaningful than what one can learn from books. The two arguments, no matter how you understand them, both compare reading ____62____ traveling. But this is not a unique Chinese idea. Westerners have had similar reflections. For instance, a western ____63____ (special), once said: “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” An American investment banker wrote in his book, “I am a ____64____ (passion) traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education.” All these sayings and quotations seem to agree on one point: By seeing new ____65____ (place) and meeting new people, travel can be as enlightening and attractive as reading books. 【答案】56. literally 57. was quoted 58. written 59. to study 60. what 61. The 62. with##to 63. specialist 64. passionate 65. places 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国谚语“读万卷书，行万里路”的起源、含义及其引发的不同观点。 【56题详解】 考查副词。句意：这句谚语字面上被翻译为“读万卷书，行万里路”。空处修饰动词translated，应用副词literally“字面上”作状语。故填literally。 【57题详解】 考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意：这句话最早出自明代著名画家、书法家、政治家董其昌所著的《画禅室随笔》。句子描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，主语The saying与quote之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，主语为单数，be动词用was。故填was quoted。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处应用非谓语动词，作后置定语修饰名词Notes from the Painting-Meditation Studio，动词write与被修饰词之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填written。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：董其昌的话是在敦促人们多学习，获取知识，然后把所学付诸实践，同时进一步开阔视野。urge sb. to do sth.“敦促某人做某事”，为固定搭配，空处应用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to study。 【60题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意同上。空处引导宾语从句，从句动词learned缺少宾语，表示所学的内容，应连接代词what引导宾语从句。故填what。 【61题详解】 考查冠词。句意：后一种说法显然强调经验比从书本上学到的东西更重要、更有意义。此处特指后一种说法，应用定冠词the，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填The。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：这两种观点，无论你怎么理解，都是将阅读与旅行进行比较。compare...with/to...“与……进行比较”，为固定搭配。故填with/to。 【63题详解】 考查名词。句意：例如，一位西方专家曾说过：“世界是一本书，不旅行的人只读了一页。”根据空前a western 可知，空处应用名词specialist“专家”，且不定冠词a后接可数名词单数，在句中作主语。故填specialist。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我是一个充满激情的旅行者，从我还是个孩子的时候起，旅行和正规教育一样塑造了我。空处应用形容词作定语修饰名词traveler，passion对应的形容词为passionate“热情的”。故填passionate。 【65题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：所有这些谚语和引语似乎都认同一点：通过看到新的地方、遇到新的人，旅行可以和读书一样有启发性和吸引力。place为可数名词，前面没有限定词修饰，应用复数形式。故填places。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，上周末你在公园参与了清理垃圾的志愿者活动。请你就此写一篇短文，向你校英语报投稿，内容包括： 1. 活动目的； 2. 活动经过； 3. 你的收获。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Cleaning Up for a Greener Park ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Cleaning Up for a Greener Park Last weekend, I participated in a volunteer activity to clean up trash in the park.

He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain. After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed. One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David s potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him. “Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.” Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder., He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.” With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next school year brought another writing competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice. He wrote essays, short stories, and even poetry, constantly pushing himself to improve. Slowly but surely, his confidence grew, and he began to enjoy writing again. He found that the more he wrote, the more ideas flowed through his mind. Each word he put on paper felt like a small victory, and he started to see his writing in a new light. He realized that the joy of writing wasn’t just in winning competitions, but in the process of creation itself. The next school year brought another writing competition. This time, David was determined to give it his best shot. He submitted an essay that he had worked on for weeks, feeling more prepared and hopeful than ever before. When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation. To his delight, his name was called as one of the winners. He couldn’t believe it — he had done it! All the hard work and perseverance had paid off. David knew that this victory was not just his own; it was evidence for the power of believing in oneself and never giving up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述大卫热爱写作，参加英语写作比赛却失利，他失望沮丧，英语老师卡特先生安慰并鼓励他，他开始分析自己的写作。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几周里，大卫重新投入到写作中。”可知，第一段可描述大卫按照卡特先生的建议坚持练习写作，逐渐找回信心，重新享受写作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“新的学年带来了另一场写作比赛。”可知，第二段可描述大卫积极参赛，最终获得胜利，明白了坚持和相信自己的力量。 2. 续写线索：投入写作练习——信心增长——参加新比赛——获得胜利——明白坚持的力量 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①提高：improve/advance ②开始：begin/start ③提交：submit/hand in 情绪类 ①愉快：joy/delight/happiness ②下定决心的：determined/resolved 【点睛】[高分句型1] He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2] When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation.
