Moyun, a music influencer, gained fame by covering (翻唱) pop songs on the guzheng. Since 2014, her Bilibili uploads have earned millions of views. Despite the overnight success, Moyun didn’t let it upset her life. “I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled. But the wave of positive comments from the audience greatly inspired her to follow her love for the guzheng. With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles. One standout example of her works is the cover of the Eagles’ Hotel California, which has gotten over 20 million views on YouTube. Many international viewers, after watching her videos, are amazed by her performances and often ask the same question: “What instrument is this? I’ve never seen it before.” To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots. “I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said. Next Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. “Don’t limit yourself — explore more,” she said. 4. What did Moyun do after her sudden success? A. She quit her studies. B. She changed her performing style. C. She turned a professional. D. She went about her daily life as usual. 5. What makes Moyun’s music particularly special? A. Having unique stage presence. B. Mixing traditional and modern styles. C. Reaching global followers online. D. Focusing on covering classical music. 6. What does Moyun’s attitude to the term “Chinese zither” indicate? A. She favors spreading Chinese culture confidently. B. She regards the guzheng as a type of the zither C. She credits the guzheng’s global fame to the term. D. She hopes Chinese young people reconnect with western culture. 7. Which of the following best describes Moyun? A. Innovative. B. Honest. C. Considerate. D. Generous. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了古筝音乐人墨韵成名经历及音乐追求。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled. (“我当时还是一名学生，在那几年专注于学习，视频的突然走红并没有真正改变我的日常生活，”她回忆道。)”可知，墨韵在突然走红后，她的日常生活还是和往常一样。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles. (在这种动力的驱使下，墨韵用古老的古筝演奏现代歌曲，赢得了许多粉丝，并逐渐创造了自己独特的融合新旧音乐风格的方式。)”可知，墨韵的音乐特别之处在于她将传统和现代的风格融合在一起。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots. (对墨韵来说，古筝在中国以外并不为人所知，这是不幸的。她认为古筝常见的英文翻译“Chinese zither”不太准确。然而，她希望这种情况会有所改变，尤其是随着越来越多的中国年轻人寻求与他们的文化根源重新建立联系。)”以及倒数第二段““I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said. (“我相信，当我们带着文化自信在全球舞台上展示古筝，并自豪地介绍它的名字时，它将成为被广泛接受的通用术语，”墨韵说道。)”可推知，墨韵对“Chinese zither”这个词的态度表明她支持自信地传播中国文化。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Next, Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. (接下来，墨韵计划用古筝演奏不同类型的现代歌曲，挑战人们对中国传统乐器的看法。她专注于指法技巧和原创作品，旨在拓展古筝的演奏范围。)”可知，墨韵是一个有创新精神的人。故选A。 C Research has shown that consumers often would rather interact with human agents (代理人) than robotic ones. But a new study paints a more different picture: when communicating a disappointing offer, a bot gets better results. In one experiment, participants imagined that they were buying a concert ticket online. Some were told that a similar ticket had been sold to another customer for the same price; the others were told that another customer had gotten a better deal. Half the participants in each group interacted with a human ticket agent, while the other half interacted with a bot. Among those offered the similarly priced ticket, the type of agent made no difference to acceptance rates. But among participants offered the higher-priced ticket, just 19% of those interacting with a person wanted to buy it, while 49% of those interacting with a bot did. When the other customer was said to have paid a higher price, the opposite happened: The human agent (89%) than the bot (76%). Later studies discovered why that pattern occurred. People thought bots were more fair with bad news (less selfish than humans) but less generous with good news (not as kind as humans). However, this difference became smaller when the bot had human features like a name or face. “Our results reveal that an AI ‘bad guy’/human ‘good guy’ approach to managing disappointment should have beneficial results, when informing customers about unexpected delays or upgrades,” the researchers wrote. However, they add a warning: “In those cases where the worse-than-expected offer is objectively harmful to consumers, the use of this approach raises moral concerns.” 8. What does the new study show? A. Consumers always prefer robotic agents . B. Bots do better with disappointing offers. C. Human agents are better than bots in all cases. D. Bots make customers feel more disappointed . 9. How does the researchers conduct the first experiment? A. By analyzing documents. B. By conducting case studies. C. By using past experiment data. D. By comparing acceptance rates. 10. What do people think of bots with human features? A. Bots outperform humans in most cases. B. Bots can handle complex requests better. C. Bots and humans seem more alike in fairness. D. Bots perform worse than humans in good deals. 11. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the AI “bad guy”/human “good guy” approach? A. Supportive. B. Subjective. C. Opposed. D. Cautious. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最新研究显示，消费者在被告知不如预期的优惠时，与机器人交流比与人类代理人交流更能接受，即机器人传达坏消息时更有效。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But a new study paints a more different picture: when communicating a disappointing offer, a bot gets better results.(但一项新的研究却呈现出了截然不同的情况：在传达令人失望的消息时，机器人反而能取得更好的效果。)”可知，在传达令人失望的消息时，机器人会取得更好的效果。因此，新研究表明机器人在处理令人失望的消息时做得更好。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Among those offered the similarly priced ticket, the type of agent made no difference to acceptance rates. But among participants offered the higher-priced ticket, just 19% of those interacting with a person wanted to buy it, while 49% of those interacting with a bot did.(在那些被提供价格相似的门票的人中，代理人的类型对接受率没有影响。但在被提供高价门票的参与者中，只有19%与真人互动的人想买，而与机器人互动的49%的人想买。)”可知，研究人员是通过比较接受率来进行第一个实验的。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“People thought bots were more fair with bad news (less selfish than humans) but less generous with good news (not as kind as humans).(人们认为机器人在传达坏消息时更公平（比人类更无私），但在好消息上则不那么慷慨（不如人类友善）)”以及“However, this difference became smaller when the bot had human features like a name or face.(然而，当机器人有名字或脸这样的人类特征时，这种差异就变得小了)”可知，当机器人具有人类特征时，人们认为机器人和人类在公平性上更为相似。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘Our results reveal that an AI ‘bad guy’/human ‘good guy’ approach to managing disappointment should have beneficial results, when informing customers about unexpected delays or upgrades,’ the researchers wrote. However, they add a warning: ‘In those cases where the worse-than-expected offer is objectively harmful to consumers, the use of this approach raises moral concerns.’(研究人员写道：“我们的研究结果表明，在向客户通报意外延误或升级情况时，采用人工智能‘坏人’/人类‘好人’的应对方式来处理客户的失望情绪，应该会带来有益的结果。”不过，他们也提出了一项警告：“但在那些预期结果比实际情况更糟糕、对消费者造成客观损害的情况下，采用这种应对方式会引发道德方面的担忧。”)”可知，研究人员对AI“坏人”/人类“好人”的方法持谨慎态度，既看到了其有益的一面，也看到了可能引发的道德问题。D选项“Cautious.(谨慎的)”符合题意。故选D。 D Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years? The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945. But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions. That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike? 12. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary. 13. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory? A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party. C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language. 14. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3? A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries. C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover. 15. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To introduce a new discovery. B. To argue for a particular viewpoint. C. To describe a personal experience. D. To explain reasons for a phenomenon. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍为何长时间不骑自行车仍能骑行这一现象及其背后的记忆原理。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys.(这很令人惊讶，因为我们的记忆在很多其他情况下会fall short，比如记住一个地方的名字、一个我们曾经认识的人，或者我们把钥匙放在哪里。)”可知，记住地名、人名等日常记忆容易出错，而骑自行车的记忆却很牢固，由此可推测“fall short”的意思与“失败，不足”意义相近。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945.(语义记忆，也被称为事实记忆，是知道第二次世界大战于1945年结束。)”可知，知道法国的首都是事实记忆，属于语义记忆。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions.(但为什么程序性记忆如此强大呢？这对科学来说还不太清楚，尽管苏坎写道，一个原因是大脑中形成运动模式的区域经历的神经细胞更新较少，这有助于保持对这些动作的回忆。)”可知，程序性记忆不太可能被遗忘。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years?(那么，为什么我们多年不骑自行车，却还能骑呢？)”以及第二段中的“The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making.(答案与我们正在形成的记忆类型有关。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是解释一种现象的原因。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Become a More Effective Listener Being a good listener can enrich your understanding, expand your capacity for empathy, and improve your communication skills. However, mastering this skill requires conscious effort. _____16_____ Maintain appropriate eye contact. When someone is talking to you, make and hold eye contact so they know you’ re taking in what they’ re saying. ____17____ Studies show the ideal amount of eye contact is about 3 seconds at a time; longer periods of direct eye contact may make the other person uncomfortable. Minimize distractions. Active listening requires full focus. If you’ re watching TV or scrolling TikTok while someone is speaking, they’ll likely get the impression that you’ re not really paying attention — and you’ll miss key details. Put aside any distractions and maintain focus. ____18____ Provide proper feedback. You might be a great listener, but your conversation partner may not realize it if you don’t show them. Nodding now and again and offering an “mmhmm” or “I see” can help them know that you care. And the occasional verbal acknowledgement that you’ re listening and comprehending can encourage the other person to keep talking. _____19_____ Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest. ____20____ This encourages the speaker to reflect and elaborate, making the discussion more productive. That’s why we should aim to use questions as a means by which the speaker can begin to reach their own conclusions about the issues being raised, without sounding judgmental or forceful. A. Read their body language. B. Ask insightful questions. C. This demonstrates respect and engagement. D. However, avoid staring at them the whole time. E. Here are some practical strategies to improve your listening skills. F. For example, inquire about their perspective or feelings. G. A good listener should always offer immediate advice. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. C 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了成为更有效倾听者的方法，包括保持适当的眼神交流、减少干扰、提供适当的反馈以及通过提问促进深入交流等技巧。 【16题详解】 上文提到“However, mastering this skill requires conscious effort.(然而，掌握这项技能需要有意识的努力。)”，说明成为有效倾听者不是轻而易举的，需要付出努力。E选项“Here are some practical strategies to improve your listening skills.(以下是一些提高倾听技巧的实际策略。)”正好承接上文，提出了具体的解决方案，即一些实用的策略，符合题意。故选E。 【17题详解】 上文提到“When someone is talking to you, make and hold eye contact so they know you’ re taking in what they’ re saying.(当有人和你说话时，要和对方保持眼神交流，让他们知道你正在听他们说话。)”，说明保持眼神交流是倾听时的重要技巧。D选项“However, avoid staring at them the whole time.(然而，不要一直盯着他们看。)”中的“However”表示转折，指出虽然需要保持眼神交流，但也不能一直盯着对方看，这是对上文内容的补充和完善，符合题意。故选D。 【18题详解】 上文提到“Put aside any distractions and maintain focus.(排除任何干扰，保持专注。)”，说明倾听时需要排除干扰，保持专注。C选项“This demonstrates respect and engagement.(这表现出尊重和投入。)”中的“This”指代上文提到的“排除干扰，保持专注”的行为，说明这种行为是对对方的尊重和投入，符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文提到“Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest.(有意义的问题可以加深对话并表现出真正的兴趣。)”，说明提问是倾听时的重要技巧之一。B选项“Ask insightful questions.(提出有洞察力的问题。)”与下文相呼应，直接点明了本段的主题，即提出有意义的问题，符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 上文提到“Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest.(有意义的问题可以加深对话并表现出真正的兴趣。)”，说明提问的重要性。F选项“For example, inquire about their perspective or feelings.(例如，询问他们的观点或感受。)”中的“For example”表示举例，具体说明了有意义的问题可以是询问对方的观点或感受，这既是对上文内容的补充和完善，也为下文的“This encourages the speaker to reflect and elaborate, making the discussion more productive.(这鼓励说话者进行反思和详细阐述，使讨论更加富有成效。)”提供了具体的例子，符合题意。故选F。 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。 By my mid-fifties, I was at a crossroads.

Originally 39. jobs 40. were included 41. marking 42. on 43. himself 44. evidence 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国木拱桥的分布、功能、建造工艺及其作为非物质文化遗产的现状和保护意义。 【36题详解】 考查关系词。句意：除了承载交通外，它们还作为社交中心，人们聚集在这里聊天、放松或进行宗教祭祀。空后是一个完整的句子，对前面的名词centers起修饰作用，所以这是一个定语从句；先行词centers在定语从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：短的、相互咬合的木材被用来创造不用钉子的长拱形结构，这种设计有效地分散了压力。be used to do sth为固定搭配，表示“被用来做某事”，应填动词不定式。故填to create。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：最初，制作这些桥的技艺是通过家族传承或学徒制流传下来的。此处需要副词修饰整个句子，且位于句首需要大写。故填Originally。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：但自20世纪60年代以来，它们已被现代材料所取代，这导致建造这些桥的工匠转行做其他工作。job为可数名词，other后接复数形式jobs作宾语。故填jobs。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：去年12月15日，中国木拱桥被列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录，标志着它的重大复兴。根据时间状语On Dec. 15 last year可知，句子描述过去发生的动作，要用一般现在时；且主语与include之间是被动关系，主语bridges是复数，应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were included。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：去年12月15日，中国木拱桥被列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录，标志着它的重大复兴。分析句子结构和句子成分可知，设空句是一个简单句，句中已有谓语动词were included，所以设空处为非谓语动词；且与逻辑主语（即句子所描述的整个事件“木拱桥被列入名录”）之间是主动关系，所以要用现在分词形式作状语。故填marking。 【42题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：2009年，只有4人掌握了关键技术，年龄都在75岁以上，而现在有40多位掌握关键技术的人，平均年龄56岁。on average为固定搭配，表示“平均”。故填on。 【43题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：温州廊桥文化学会会长钟晓波二十多年来一直致力于保护木拱廊桥。contribute oneself to为固定搭配，意为“致力于做某事”；根据主语Zhong Xiaobo判断应填himself。故填himself。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意：这些建筑不仅是交通工具，也是文化的载体和历史的证据。and连接并列结构，前面是carriers，后面也应是名词形式作宾语，且evidence为不可数名词。故填evidence。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：保护和弘扬它们的文化意义是每个人共同的责任。泛指“一种责任”用不定冠词修饰，且shared首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。 【点睛】 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：（满分15分） 46. 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。目前，市动物园正在为一只幼虎全球征名。请给你的英国笔友Jim写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1. 介绍活动； 2. 邀请参加。 注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, How are you doing recently?

The real world— the campus life he had heard so much about, the decisions on what to study, what career to pursue, and how to find his place— felt like a heavy weight on his chest. He had no clue what his future held. One afternoon, Jake’s mom suggested he spend some time volunteering at the community center. “It might be a good way to take your mind off things,” she said. At first, he resisted. Volunteering didn't sound like the right way to prepare for college. He needed to focus on his future, not wasting time helping others. But eventually, he agreed unwillingly. When Jake first arrived at the center, the atmosphere felt unfamiliar but warm. It was a small, comfortable space with colorful walls, art supplies, and kids playing in the corner. He was assigned to help with the kids’ art class. The first few days were uneventful. Jake just sat back, passing out crayons, organizing the art supplies, and occasionally offering a word of encouragement to the kids. But one particular day, a girl caught his attention. Her name was Layla, and she was sitting in the corner, quietly staring down at a blank canvas (画布), with her hands wrapped tightly around a paintbrush. Her brush paused above the canvas as if she were waiting for permission to make the first mark. Jake had no experience with art and didn’t know how to guide Layla. But something about her hesitation touched his heart. He walked over to her and asked, “Hey, Layla, what's going on? Why aren't you painting?” She looked up at him with large brown eyes, then down at her hands, which were holding the paintbrush tightly but not moving. “I’m not good at it,” she replied. “I don’t know how to make it look like what’s in my mind.” 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。 Jake sat beside her, smiling. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jake sat beside her, smiling. “You know, Layla,” he said gently, “art isn’t about making something look perfect. It’s about expressing what’s inside you. There’s no right or wrong way to paint. Just close your eyes and think about that beautiful thing in your mind, then let the brush move freely on the canvas.” Layla listened intently, her eyes fixed on Jake. Slowly, she took a deep breath and made the first stroke. Jake watched with encouragement, nodding and offering words of praise for each new color she added. Bit by bit, a beautiful landscape emerged on the canvas. As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. He realized that helping others could bring such a sense of fulfillment. The joy on Layla’s face when she finally saw her completed painting was like a light bulb going off in his head. He understood that his own future didn’t have to be a burden. Just as he had guided Layla to express herself, he could also find his own path step by step. Volunteering wasn’t a waste of time at all. It was a chance to learn, grow, and see the world from a different perspective. From that day on, Jake was no longer weighed down by the unknowns of his future. Instead, he was excited to explore new possibilities and make a difference, just like he did for Layla. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，Jake在高中升大学的关键时期，因对未来的迷茫而倍感压力。妈妈建议他去社区中心做志愿者，起初他抗拒但最终同意。在那他帮儿童上美术课，遇到不敢画画的Layla，他鼓励她，自己也在这个过程中有所感悟。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jake微笑着在她身旁坐下。”可以预测续写这段主要内容： Jake坐在Layla身旁温柔鼓励她，在Jake的鼓励下，一幅美丽风景画在画布上逐渐呈现。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着Layla信心渐增，Jake发觉自己内心也有了转变。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：Jake意识到帮助他人带来的满足感，明白志愿服务的意义，不再为未来未知焦虑，而是期待探索新可能。 2.续写线索： Jake坐身旁——温柔鼓励Layla——美丽风景画呈现—— Jake的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.说： say/utter ②.意识到……：realize that/be aware that ③.帮助：help/assist/aid 情绪类 ①.快乐： joy/delight/happiness ②.兴奋的：excited/excitative/exalted 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B “When choosing a career, I’ve always believed that young people should seek what they truly love.” That’s exactly the path Moyun has taken. Moyun, a music influencer, gained fame by covering (翻唱) pop songs on the guzheng. Since 2014, her Bilibili uploads have earned millions of views. Despite the overnight success, Moyun didn’t let it upset her life. “I was still a student at the time, and during those years focused on studying, the video’s sudden popularity didn’t really change my daily routine,” she recalled. But the wave of positive comments from the audience greatly inspired her to follow her love for the guzheng. With this drive, Moyun has gained many fans by playing modern songs on the old guzheng and slowly created her own special way of mixing old and new music styles. One standout example of her works is the cover of the Eagles’ Hotel California, which has gotten over 20 million views on YouTube. Many international viewers, after watching her videos, are amazed by her performances and often ask the same question: “What instrument is this? I’ve never seen it before.” To Moyun, it’s unfortunate that the guzheng is not well-known outside of China. She thinks the common English translation for guzheng- “Chinese zither” -is not quite right. However, she is hopeful that this will change, especially as more young people in China seek to reconnect with their cultural roots. “I believe that when we present the guzheng with cultural confidence on global stages, introducing it proudly by name, it will become the accepted universal term,” Moyun said. Next, Moyun plans to play modern songs from different types of music using the guzheng, challenging ideas about traditional Chinese instruments. With a focus on finger-style techniques and original compositions, she aims to expand what the guzheng can do. “Don’t limit yourself — explore more,” she said. 4. What did Moyun do after her sudden success? A. She quit her studies. B. She changed her performing style. C She turned a professional. D. She went about her daily life as usual. 5. What makes Moyun’s music particularly special? A. Having unique stage presence. B. Mixing traditional and modern styles. C. Reaching global followers online. D. Focusing on covering classical music. 6. What does Moyun’s attitude to the term “Chinese zither” indicate? A. She favors spreading Chinese culture confidently. B. She regards the guzheng as a type of the zither C. She credits the guzheng’s global fame to the term. D. She hopes Chinese young people reconnect with western culture. 7. Which of the following best describes Moyun? A. Innovative. B. Honest. C. Considerate. D. Generous. C Research has shown that consumers often would rather interact with human agents (代理人) than robotic ones. But a new study paints a more different picture: when communicating a disappointing offer a bot gets better results. In one experiment, participants imagined that they were buying a concert ticket online. Some were told that a similar ticket had been sold to another customer for the same price; the others were told that another customer had gotten a better deal. Half the participants in each group interacted with a human ticket agent, while the other half interacted with a bot. Among those offered the similarly priced ticket, the type of agent made no difference to acceptance rates. But among participants offered the higher-priced ticket, just 19% of those interacting with a person wanted to buy it, while 49% of those interacting with a bot did. When the other customer was said to have paid a higher price, the opposite happened: The human agent (89%) than the bot (76%). Later studies discovered why that pattern occurred. People thought bots were more fair with bad news (less selfish than humans) but less generous with good news (not as kind as humans). However, this difference became smaller when the bot had human features like a name or face. “Our results reveal that an AI ‘bad guy’/human ‘good guy’ approach to managing disappointment should have beneficial results, when informing customers about unexpected delays or upgrades,” the researchers wrote. However, they add a warning: “In those cases where the worse-than-expected offer is objectively harmful to consumers, the use of this approach raises moral concerns.” 8. What does the new study show? A. Consumers always prefer robotic agents . B. Bots do better with disappointing offers. C. Human agents are better than bots in all cases. D. Bots make customers feel more disappointed . 9. How does the researchers conduct the first experiment? A. By analyzing documents. B. By conducting case studies. C. By using past experiment data. D. By comparing acceptance rates. 10. What do people think of bots with human features? A. Bots outperform humans in most cases. B. Bots can handle complex requests better. C. Bots and humans seem more alike in fairness. D. Bots perform worse than humans in good deals. 11. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the AI “bad guy”/human “good guy” approach? A. Supportive. B. Subjective. C. Opposed. D. Cautious. D Most of us learn how to ride a bike during childhood. But as we grow older, many of us stop riding and put those once-beloved bikes away. Years later, when we discover these old things and jump on, it’s as if we never stopped biking. This is surprising because our memories fall short in so many other cases, such as remembering the name of a place or a person we once knew or where we put our keys. So how is it that we can ride a bicycle when we haven’t done so in years? The answer has to do with what kinds of memories we’re making. Neuropsychologist (神经心理学家) Boris Suchan explains that we have two different kinds of long-term memory: declarative and procedural. Within declarative memory are two subtypes: episodic (情景的) and semantic (语义的) memory. Episodic memory is the recall of an event in your life, like going to a concert or falling into a hole. Semantic memory, also known as factual memory, is knowing that World War II ended in 1945. But acquiring a skill is part of procedural memory. Learning how to drive, play a sport, or ride a bike are all activities that are stored in another part of the brain. In theory, it would be possible to suffer a brain injury that could steal your memory of riding a bike but keep the part that knows how to ride the bike. Supposing the brain part which processes non-declarative memory, is unharmed, you’ll be able to ride a bicycle without incident. But why is procedural memory so strong? That’s less clear to science, although one reason, Suchan writes, is that the regions in the brain where movement patterns are formed experience less nerve cell (神经细胞) turnover, helping to keep recall of those actions. That’s why you can always jump on a bike but not necessarily remember that movie. Do you still remember the moment when you first learned how to ride a bike? 12. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph I probably mean? A. Fail. B. Match. C. Flash. D. Vary. 13. Which of the following belongs to semantic memory? A. Mastering swimming skills. B. Recalling a birthday party. C. Knowing the capital of France. D. Picking up a foreign language. 14. What can be learned about procedural memory in paragraph 3? A. It is less likely to be forgotten. B. It is easily damaged by brain injuries. C. It is well-understood by scientist. D. It has more frequent nerve cell turnover. 15.

However, mastering this skill requires conscious effort. _____16_____ Maintain appropriate eye contact. When someone is talking to you, make and hold eye contact so they know you’ re taking in what they’ re saying. ____17____ Studies show the ideal amount of eye contact is about 3 seconds at a time; longer periods of direct eye contact may make the other person uncomfortable.

If you’ re watching TV or scrolling TikTok while someone is speaking, they’ll likely get the impression that you’ re not really paying attention — and you’ll miss key details. Put aside any distractions and maintain focus. ____18____ Provide proper feedback. You might be a great listener, but your conversation partner may not realize it if you don’t show them. Nodding now and again and offering an “mmhmm” or “I see” can help them know that you care. And the occasional verbal acknowledgement that you’ re listening and comprehending can encourage the other person to keep talking. _____19_____ Meaningful questions deepen conversations and show genuine interest. ____20____ This encourages the speaker to reflect and elaborate, making the discussion more productive. That’s why we should aim to use questions as a means by which the speaker can begin to reach their own conclusions about the issues being raised, without sounding judgmental or forceful. A. Read their body language. B. Ask insightful questions. C. This demonstrates respect and engagement. D. However, avoid staring at them the whole time. E.

The real world— the campus life he had heard so much about, the decisions on what to study, what career to pursue, and how to find his place— felt like a heavy weight on his chest. He had no clue what his future held. One afternoon, Jake’s mom suggested he spend some time volunteering at the community center. “It might be a good way to take your mind off things,” she said. At first, he resisted. Volunteering didn't sound like the right way to prepare for college. He needed to focus on his future, not wasting time helping others. But eventually, he agreed unwillingly. When Jake first arrived at the center, the atmosphere felt unfamiliar but warm. It was a small, comfortable space with colorful walls, art supplies, and kids playing in the corner. He was assigned to help with the kids’ art class. The first few days were uneventful. Jake just sat back, passing out crayons, organizing the art supplies, and occasionally offering a word of encouragement to the kids. But one particular day, a girl caught his attention. Her name was Layla, and she was sitting in the corner, quietly staring down at a blank canvas (画布), with her hands wrapped tightly around a paintbrush. Her brush paused above the canvas as if she were waiting for permission to make the first mark. Jake had no experience with art and didn’t know how to guide Layla. But something about her hesitation touched his heart. He walked over to her and asked, “Hey, Layla, what's going on? Why aren't you painting?” She looked up at him with large brown eyes, then down at her hands, which were holding the paintbrush tightly but not moving. “I’m not good at it,” she replied. “I don’t know how to make it look like what’s in my mind.” 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。 Jake sat beside her, smiling. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Layla’s confidence grew, Jake felt a shift within himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
