第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Walking around large cities in Europe and the United States, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we’re living in a world of affordable and effortless mobility for all, with the smartphone in your pocket, with a variety of shared mobility — shared bikes and electric cars, and an Uber or Lyft never more than five minutes away.
However, the access to shared mobility isn’t equal. If you’re disabled or elderly, living in a low-income area — or without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared mobility services becomes a lot more difficult. They tend to gather in urban areas, and are often inaccessible to people with reduced mobility or those traveling with young children needing child seats.
To be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this. But projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities. The local governments have provided funds for low-income residents, which have shown promise in increasing the use of shared mobility while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. Nonprofit Shared Mobility Inc. in New York launched The E-Bike Library model helping underserved community set up e-bike libraries.
Carshares bikeshares and the like are a positive for the environment. They could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. On-demand shared mobility could reduce the number of vehicles in some cities by 90 percent and cut transportation emissions by 50 percent — but only if it largely replaces private car use. “The car has to be a guest, not the main actor,” says Luis Martinez, who coauthored a paper on shared mobility and sustainability in the 2024 Annual Review of Environment and Resources.
1. What problem does shared mobility face?
A. Safety risks for electric cars. B. Unequal access for certain groups.
C. High costs in most communities. D. Lack of smartphone apps for old people.
2. What have local governments done to help underserved communities?
A. Offered free rides. B. Set up e-bike libraries.
C. Provided financial support. D. Increased shared mobility prices.
3. What does Luis Martinez suggest about shared mobility?
A. It should be a guest. B. It needs further study.
C. It will replace private cars. D. It should be encouraged.
B
In Antarctica, my team really wanted to capture the moment when emperor penguin (企鹅) chicks jump into the ocean for their first swim. We had been in Antarctica for two months before it was time for these chicks to fledge. Fledging is when birds grow feathers that, help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves. So these penguin “teenagers” form little groups and start waddling (摇摆) toward the sea together. The young penguins look messy as they shed the soft feathers that keep them warm and grow out their adult swimming feathers. Each has a unique boy-band-style haircut.
The penguins must walk about 15 miles from the home atop an enormous ice shelf to reach the water’s edge. We follow the birds from afar on snowmobiles. They crowd together at the end of the path and stare down like, “what’s that?” They’ve never seen the ocean before! To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up! It swims farther out to sea, never looking back.
At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time. Some jump off stylishly, and others slip and fall backward. Some even flap their wings as if they’ll fly. This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives.
4. What does fledging mean for penguins?
A. They’ll fly like other birds. B. They’ll look for their parents.
C. They’ll look cooler than ever. D. They’ll live an independent life.
5. How does the author feel about the young penguins at the cliff?
A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Excited. D. Confused.
6. Who does “Steve” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The father penguin. B. The author.
C. The first penguin to dive. D. The author’s teammate.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Dive into Adulthood. B. Legends of Penguins.
C. Scenery in Antarctica. D. Adventures in Antarctica.
C
I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere. I became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks, and they never really entered my world of reading. Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest, new criticisms have risen in response — audiobooks aren’t really books, and that listening to them isn’t really reading.
I’ll admit, I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could listen to them passively. One of my biggest annoyances is wandering during an audiobook and realizing I have no idea where I stopped paying attention. And I’m also still a print book lover — I hate ebooks, and I only use them when it’s tough to get a book any other way.
But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer — for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs that only have lyrics in the written text. A great example is Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Elwes narrates the book himself, and brings other actors from the film like Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright from the film to narrate their own sections. That’s just an experience you’re never going to get with a paperback (平装书).
Sometimes I prefer an audiobook. It’s the only way to read if I’m on a long drive or if I want to do multitasks. Sometimes I prefer a book. I love the way books feel in my hands, I love flipping pages, and I love collecting bookmarks.
Engage with books however you want. Buy them, get them from the library, borrow them from friends, download them online, it doesn’t matter. Don’t we have better uses for our time than to pick apart how other people take in information?
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. An issue about audiobooks. B. An opinion about print books.
C. A reading story in childhood. D. A popular belief of digital reading.
9. What did the author think of audiobooks before?
A. Listening to them was really reading.
B. Listening to them was a passive involvement.
C. He knew where he was when listening to them.
D. He thought it easier to find them than print books.
10. Why does the author mention Cary Elwes’ audiobook?
A. To introduce its actors. B. To show his reading preference.
C. To highlight its unique features. D. To share his reading experience.
11. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It’s beneficial to choose one reading way.
B. It’s useful to know about others’ reading time.
C. It’s necessary to obtain various reading resources.
D. It’s practical to use different ways of reading books.
D
Correcting the gigabytes (千兆字节) of digital misinformation that circulate at high speed online is a never-ending task. YouTube removed more than half a million channels last year for broadcasting misinformation. The powerful fact-checking organizations that try to keep the Internet honest face more claims than they can handle. How should they prioritize?
Checkers came up with a new approach: forecasting which claims are most dangerous and thus which most deserve to be put under the microscope. Researchers from the University of Westminster developed a classifying system to sort dangerous misinformation from everyday nonsense.
One test of a false claim is whether enough people will believe it so that it can cause any harm. To swing an election with misinformation, you need to persuade many people; to fool someone with fake medicine you need to convince only one. Another test is whether those believing a false claim have the capacity to act on it. Some people may be misled that Wi-Fi signals can kill plants, for example, but are unlikely to change their behaviour. The researchers estimated that, of the false claims in their sample, 57% were unlikely to contribute to any specific real-world effect.
Of the remaining, potentially consequential misinformation, the checkers considered whether the consequence would be “direct” — such as persuading people to buy certain kind of goods, or “cumulative”, contributing to a false narrative about so-called success science. The claims were roughly evenly divided. “Cumulative” harm is harder to assess in a short time, says Peter Cunliffe Jones of the University of Westminster, but large data sets make it possible to see how often a claim is repeated, and thus when a narrative is forming.
Time devoted to selecting which false claims to check is probably well spent. It takes five minutes to sort a claim, whereas carrying out a thorough check takes five to six hours. The fact-checking world needs to get more systematic in its approach, says Mr. Cunliffe Jones. “If this community is going to learn anything from this ... it’s that data is the future.”
12. What is the main challenge fact-checking organizations meet?
A. Lack of professional fact-checkers.
B. Difficulty in accessing reliable data.
C. Resistance from social media platforms.
D. The overwhelming amount of information.
13. In which case may a false claim be classified into “most dangerous”?
A. It targets ordinary people. B. It brings about an action.
C. It disguises itself with science. D. It spreads on many social media.
14. What is the closest in meaning with the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 4?
A. Equal. B. Complete. C. Gradual. D. Instant.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It’s up to data to keep the Internet honest.
B. Most false claims require thorough checks.
C. It wastes too much to classify misinformation.
D. Selecting matters more than thorough checks.

57. 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。
Eighth grade meant a new classroom and a new teacher, but I barely noticed the change. As far as I was concerned, a classroom was a classroom. I longed to be outside, wandering the hills of Tennessee where I grew up.
My teachers didn’t appreciate hidden caves, running creeks (小溪) and wild bears any more than I appreciated maths, history and good handwriting. My report cards always included notes, like “Douglas needs to apply himself instead of looking out of the window.”
My parents tried their best with me, but school hadn’t been a big part of their lives either. They left after the third grade. “He’ll grow out of it,” Daddy said when yet another teacher had concerns about me being too much of a dreamer.
The rough land, the wildlife, and the adventure had back then more for me to dream about while chained to my eighth-grade desk. It seemed there were two kinds of people in the world: those who belonged in the classroom and those who belonged in the mountains. The teacher, Miss Cook seemed to know which one I was and had put me as far away from the window as possible.
“Douglas Clark.” The sound of my name snapped (惊醒) me out of my daydream. Miss Cook had appeared at my side without my even knowing. “If this daydreaming continues, I’m going to have to pay a visit to your parents,” she said. I gave her a grin (咧嘴笑). “If you aren’t going to help cook supper, you might as well not come.” I said.
The class laughed but Miss Cook did not. “That’s very clever,” she said. “I think you should stay after school and share more of your cleverness.”
I sighed. My joke was going to keep me where I didn’t belong. That’s the way it was with teachers. They never missed a chance to remind me of that.
As soon as the bell rang, I took out my notebook to get a head start on writing I will not be clever in class 200 times. But Miss Cook had something else in mind. She called me to the front and told me to sit facing her. “I want you to tell me what you love about the world outside that window,” she said.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
I was so surprised that for a long moment I didn’t know what to say.

Paragraph 2:
I turned in my paper the next day and waited for Miss Cook’s reaction.

Walking around large cities in Europe and the United States, you’d be forgiven for thinking that we’re living in a world of affordable and effortless mobility for all, with the smartphone in your pocket, with a variety of shared mobility — shared bikes and electric cars, and an Uber or Lyft never more than five minutes away.
However, the access to shared mobility isn’t equal. If you’re disabled or elderly, living in a low-income area — or without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared mobility services becomes a lot more difficult. They tend to gather in urban areas, and are often inaccessible to people with reduced mobility or those traveling with young children needing child seats.
To be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this. But projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities. The local governments have provided funds for low-income residents, which have shown promise in increasing the use of shared mobility while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. Nonprofit Shared Mobility Inc. in New York launched The E-Bike Library model helping underserved community set up e-bike libraries.
Carshares, bikeshares and the like are a positive for the environment. They could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. On-demand shared mobility could reduce the number of vehicles in some cities by 90 percent and cut transportation emissions by 50 percent — but only if it largely replaces private car use. “The car has to be a guest, not the main actor,” says Luis Martinez, who coauthored a paper on shared mobility and sustainability in the 2024 Annual Review of Environment and Resources.
1. What problem does shared mobility face?
A. Safety risks for electric cars. B. Unequal access for certain groups.
C. High costs in most communities. D. Lack of smartphone apps for old people.
2. What have local governments done to help underserved communities?
A. Offered free rides. B. Set up e-bike libraries.
C. Provided financial support. D. Increased shared mobility prices.
3. What does Luis Martinez suggest about shared mobility?
A. It should be a guest. B. It needs further study.
C. It will replace private cars. D. It should be encouraged.

In Antarctica, my team really wanted to capture the moment when emperor penguin (企鹅) chicks jump into the ocean for their first swim. We had been in Antarctica for two months before it was time for these chicks to fledge. Fledging is when birds grow feathers that, help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves. So these penguin “teenagers” form little groups and start waddling (摇摆) toward the sea together. The young penguins look messy as they shed the soft feathers that keep them warm and grow out their adult swimming feathers. Each has a unique boy-band-style haircut.
The penguins must walk about 15 miles from the home atop an enormous ice shelf to reach the water’s edge. We follow the birds from afar on snowmobiles. They crowd together at the end of the path and stare down like, “what’s that?” They’ve never seen the ocean before! To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up! It swims farther out to sea, never looking back.
At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time. Some jump off stylishly, and others slip and fall backward. Some even flap their wings as if they’ll fly. This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives.
4. What does fledging mean for penguins?
A. They’ll fly like other birds. B. They’ll look for their parents.
C. They’ll look cooler than ever. D. They’ll live an independent life.
5. How does the author feel about the young penguins at the cliff?
A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Excited. D. Confused.
6. Who does “Steve” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The father penguin. B. The author.
C. The first penguin to dive. D. The author’s teammate.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Dive into Adulthood. B. Legends of Penguins.
C. Scenery in Antarctica. D. Adventures in Antarctica.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Fledging is when birds grow feathers that, help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves.(幼鸟长出飞羽是鸟类长出能够帮助它们飞行的羽毛的阶段,而对于企鹅来说,则是长出能够帮助它们游泳的羽毛。爸爸妈妈已经永远地出海了,五个月大的小企鹅意识到它们的父母不会回来了:它们必须自己捕猎。)”可知,对于企鹅来说,长出飞羽意味着它们必须自己捕猎,过上独立的生活。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. (令我惊讶的是,我看到几百只小企鹅聚集在50英尺高的冰崖边!他们一起站了四个小时,凝视着下面汹涌的海浪。最后,一只小企鹅走在其他企鹅的前面,摇摇摆摆地走到悬崖边,从悬崖边跳下去。我惊恐地看着,害怕这只鸟在漫长的坠落后不会再浮出水面。)”可知,作者对悬崖上的小企鹅感到担心。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“At first the other penguins are like ‘Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?’ But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time.(起初,其他企鹅就像‘哦,天哪,Steve刚才做了什么?’但后来它们意识到跳下去是安全的。它们开始从悬崖上倾泻而下,一次几个小软球。)”,结合上文“Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side.(最后,一只小企鹅走到其他企鹅前面,摇摇晃晃地走到悬崖边,从边上跳了下去。)”可知,这里的“Steve”指的是第一个跳水的企鹅。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives.(这次跳水是它们进入成年的入口。它们会游向大海,几年都不会回家。我们很幸运能看到它们生命中的这个重要时刻。)”并结合全文内容可知,这篇文章主要讲述了作者在南极洲观察帝企鹅幼鸟第一次跳入海洋游泳的情景,展现了企鹅成长过程中的一个重要时刻,所以选项A“跃入成年”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A。

I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere. I became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks, and they never really entered my world of reading. Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest, new criticisms have risen in response — audiobooks aren’t really books, and that listening to them isn’t really reading.
I’ll admit, I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could listen to them passively. One of my biggest annoyances is wandering during an audiobook and realizing I have no idea where I stopped paying attention. And I’m also still a print book lover — I hate ebooks, and I only use them when it’s tough to get a book any other way.
But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer — for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs that only have lyrics in the written text. A great example is Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Elwes narrates the book himself, and brings other actors from the film like Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright from the film to narrate their own sections. That’s just an experience you’re never going to get with a paperback (平装书).
Sometimes I prefer an audiobook. It’s the only way to read if I’m on a long drive or if I want to do multitasks. Sometimes I prefer a book. I love the way books feel in my hands, I love flipping pages, and I love collecting bookmarks.
Engage with books however you want. Buy them, get them from the library, borrow them from friends, download them online, it doesn’t matter. Don’t we have better uses for our time than to pick apart how other people take in information?
8. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. An issue about audiobooks. B. An opinion about print books.
C. A reading story in childhood. D. A popular belief of digital reading.
9. What did the author think of audiobooks before?
A. Listening to them was really reading.
B. Listening to them was a passive involvement.
C. He knew where he was when listening to them.
D. He thought it easier to find them than print books.
10. Why does the author mention Cary Elwes’ audiobook?
A. To introduce its actors. B. To show his reading preference.
C. To highlight its unique features. D. To share his reading experience.
11. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A. It’s beneficial to choose one reading way.
B. It’s useful to know about others’ reading time.
C. It’s necessary to obtain various reading resources.
D. It’s practical to use different ways of reading books.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了作者对有声书和纸质书的不同看法和态度,认为无论选择哪种阅读方式,重要的是享受阅读的过程,而不是纠结于别人如何获取信息。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere. I became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks, and they never really entered my world of reading. Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest, new criticisms have risen in response — audiobooks aren’t really books, and that listening to them isn’t really reading.(我一直都很喜欢书。当我还是个孩子的时候,我会把它们带到任何地方。在没有数字有声书的时候,我成为了一个读者,而它们从未真正进入我的阅读世界。然而,随着智能手机的兴起,有声书开始大受欢迎,就像任何新的兴趣一样,也出现了新的批评——有声书并不是真正的书,听有声书也不是真正的阅读。)”可知,第一段主要讲的是有声书的一个问题,即“有声书并不是真正的书,听有声书也不是真正的阅读”。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I’ll admit, I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could listen to them passively.(我承认,我过去认为有声书“不算数”,因为你可以被动地听它们。)”可知,作者以前认为听有声书是一种被动的参与。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer — for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs that only have lyrics in the written text. A great example is Cary Elwes’ As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. Elwes narrates the book himself, and brings other actors from the film like Mandy Patinkin and Robin Wright from the film to narrate their own sections. That’s just an experience you’re never going to get with a paperback (平装书).(但我逐渐爱上了有声书,因为它们有独特的优势——例如,有些有声书会让配音演员为不同的角色做不同的声音,或者为只有书面歌词的歌曲配上旋律。一个很好的例子是Cary Elwes的《如你所愿:公主新娘制作中不可思议的故事》。Elwes自己讲述了这本书,并邀请了电影中的其他演员,如Mandy Patinkin和Robin Wright,来讲述他们自己的部分。这是你在平装书中永远无法获得的体验。)”可知,作者提到Cary Elwes的有声书是为了突出有声书有独特的优势。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes I prefer an audiobook. It’s the only way to read if I’m on a long drive or if I want to do multitasks. Sometimes I prefer a book. I love the way books feel in my hands, I love flipping pages, and I love collecting bookmarks.(有时我更喜欢有声书。如果我在长途驾驶或想同时做多项任务,这是唯一的阅读方式。有时我更喜欢纸质书。我喜欢书在我手里的感觉,我喜欢翻页,我喜欢收集书签。)”和最后一段“Engage with books however you want. Buy them, get them from the library, borrow them from friends, download them online, it doesn’t matter. Don’t we have better uses for our time than to pick apart how other people take in information?(以任何你喜欢的方式与书互动。买它们,从图书馆借,从朋友那里借,在网上下载,都没关系。我们难道没有更好的方式来利用我们的时间,而不是去分析别人如何获取信息吗?)”可知,作者认为使用不同的阅读方式是实际的。故选D。

Correcting the gigabytes (千兆字节) of digital misinformation that circulate at high speed online is a never-ending task. YouTube removed more than half a million channels last year for broadcasting misinformation. The powerful fact-checking organizations that try to keep the Internet honest face more claims than they can handle. How should they prioritize?
Checkers came up with a new approach: forecasting which claims are most dangerous and thus which most deserve to be put under the microscope. Researchers from the University of Westminster developed a classifying system to sort dangerous misinformation from everyday nonsense.
One test of a false claim is whether enough people will believe it so that it can cause any harm. To swing an election with misinformation, you need to persuade many people; to fool someone with fake medicine you need to convince only one. Another test is whether those believing a false claim have the capacity to act on it. Some people may be misled that Wi-Fi signals can kill plants, for example, but are unlikely to change their behaviour. The researchers estimated that, of the false claims in their sample, 57% were unlikely to contribute to any specific real-world effect.
Of the remaining, potentially consequential misinformation, the checkers considered whether the consequence would be “direct” — such as persuading people to buy certain kind of goods, or “cumulative”, contributing to a false narrative about so-called success science. The claims were roughly evenly divided. “Cumulative” harm is harder to assess in a short time, says Peter Cunliffe Jones of the University of Westminster, but large data sets make it possible to see how often a claim is repeated, and thus when a narrative is forming.
Time devoted to selecting which false claims to check is probably well spent. It takes five minutes to sort a claim, whereas carrying out a thorough check takes five to six hours. The fact-checking world needs to get more systematic in its approach, says Mr. Cunliffe Jones. “If this community is going to learn anything from this ... it’s that data is the future.”
12. What is the main challenge fact-checking organizations meet?
A. Lack of professional fact-checkers.
B. Difficulty in accessing reliable data.
C. Resistance from social media platforms.
D. The overwhelming amount of information.
13. In which case may a false claim be classified into “most dangerous”?
A. It targets ordinary people. B. It brings about an action.
C. It disguises itself with science. D. It spreads on many social media.
14. What is the closest in meaning with the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 4?
A. Equal. B. Complete. C. Gradual. D. Instant.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It’s up to data to keep the Internet honest.
B. Most false claims require thorough checks.
C. It wastes too much to classify misinformation.
D. Selecting matters more than thorough checks.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了因互联网上的虚假信息高速传播,事实核查机构已不堪重负。并介绍了一种新的优先级方法,即用数据预测哪些谣言最危险,从而把有限的人力优先投入最值得核查的内容。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第一段“The powerful fact-checking organizations that try to keep the Internet honest face more claims than they can handle. (试图维护互联网真实性的强大事实核查组织面临的虚假信息数量超出了它们的处理能力)”可知,事实核查组织面临的主要挑战是需处理的信息数量过多,难以应对。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中第三段“One test of a false claim is whether enough people will believe it so that it can cause any harm. (对虚假主张的一个检验标准是,是否因足够多的人相信它,从而造成任何危害)”以及“Another test is whether those believing a false claim have the capacity to act on it. (另一个检验标准是,那些相信虚假主张的人是否有能力据此采取行动)”可知,若虚假信息能让相信它的人采取行动,就可能被归为“最危险”类别。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文中第四段“Of the remaining, potentially consequential misinformation, the checkers considered whether the consequence would be ‘direct’ — such as persuading people to buy certain kinds of goods, or ‘cumulative’, contributing to a false narrative about so-called success science. (核查人员对剩下的、可能造成影响的不实信息进行了考量:影响是‘直接的’——比如说服人们购买某类商品;还是‘cumulative’——助推形成关于所谓成功学的错误说法)”,可知“cumulative”是与“direct”相对立的,即“逐步累积的”,与“gradual”意思相近。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中最后一段The fact-checking world needs to get more systematic in its approach, says Mr Cunliff Jones. ‘If this community is going to learn anything from this ... it’s that data is the future.’(Cunliff先生表示,事实核查领域需要在方法上更加系统化。‘如果这个群体要从这件事中学到什么……那就是数据就是未来’)”可知,依靠数据能让事实核查更系统,即数据的运用将成为维护网络真实的关键。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了澳大利亚最大的年度灯光、音乐、创意与美食庆典——第15届悉尼灯光音乐节(Vivid Sydney)的相关情况。
【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其中,首位受邀单独参与悉尼灯光音乐节官方项目的中国艺术家Yannesi Siu,凭借两件融合古代神话与尖端科技的作品引发关注。invite sb. to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“邀请某人做某事”,此处为被动语态“be invited to do sth.”,所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to participate。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:Yannesi的作品《飞向月球》灵感源自中国月亮女神嫦娥的传说。空处作drew的宾语,应用名词inspiration,表示“灵感”,为不可数名词。故填inspiration。

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:“这件植根于中国传统文化作品,用技术承载了意义,”Siu 说,“我希望观众能思考科技如何在时空之中连接我们——不仅是功能上的连接,还有情感上的共鸣。”空处作The piece的后置定语,是非谓语动词,root和The piece逻辑上是被动关系,应用root的过去分词形式rooted。故填rooted。

第二节(满分25分)
57. 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。
Eighth grade meant a new classroom and a new teacher, but I barely noticed the change. As far as I was concerned, a classroom was a classroom. I longed to be outside, wandering the hills of Tennessee where I grew up.
My teachers didn’t appreciate hidden caves, running creeks (小溪) and wild bears any more than I appreciated maths, history and good handwriting. My report cards always included notes, like “Douglas needs to apply himself instead of looking out of the window.”
My parents tried their best with me, but school hadn’t been a big part of their lives either. They left after the third grade. “He’ll grow out of it,” Daddy said when yet another teacher had concerns about me being too much of a dreamer.
The rough land, the wildlife, and the adventure had back then more for me to dream about while chained to my eighth-grade desk. It seemed there were two kinds of people in the world: those who belonged in the classroom and those who belonged in the mountains. The teacher, Miss Cook seemed to know which one I was and had put me as far away from the window as possible.
“Douglas Clark.” The sound of my name snapped (惊醒) me out of my daydream. Miss Cook had appeared at my side without my even knowing. “If this daydreaming continues, I’m going to have to pay a visit to your parents,” she said. I gave her a grin (咧嘴笑). “If you aren’t going to help cook supper, you might as well not come.” I said.
The class laughed, but Miss Cook did not. “That’s very clever,” she said. “I think you should stay after school and share more of your cleverness.”
I sighed. My joke was going to keep me where I didn’t belong. That’s the way it was with teachers. They never missed a chance to remind me of that.
As soon as the bell rang, I took out my notebook to get a head start on writing I will not be clever in class 200 times. But Miss Cook had something else in mind. She called me to the front and told me to sit facing her. “I want you to tell me what you love about the world outside that window,” she said.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
I was so surprised that for a long moment I didn’t know what to say.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I turned in my paper the next day and waited for Miss Cook’s reaction.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I was so surprised that for a long moment I didn’t know what to say. Then, bit by bit, I began to pour out my feelings. I told her about the thrill of discovering a hidden cave, the peaceful gurgling sound of the running creeks, and the excitement of spotting a wild bear from a distance. I described how the changing seasons painted the mountains in different colors. Miss Cook listened intently, her eyes fixed on me. When I finished, she handed me a notebook and said, “Write it all down. Pour your heart into it. You have a gift for seeing the beauty in nature.” I took the notebook, a bit confused but also a little excited about this new task.
Paragraph 2:
I turned in my paper the next day and waited for Miss Cook’s reaction. She read it with a serious expression on her face. Then, she looked up at me and smiled. “Douglas, this is amazing. You have a real talent for writing. Your descriptions are so vivid that I can almost see the mountains and the wildlife you described. From now on, I want you to keep writing. And you can use your love for the outdoors to learn other subjects too. For example, you can study the geography of the mountains or the history of the wildlife there.” Her words filled me with a new sense of purpose. Maybe school could be a place where I could blend my love for the outdoors with my learning.
【解析】
