Ⅰ. Grammar and Vocabulary
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Dear Anxious Bunny,
I fully understand how debilitating it can feel ____1____ (be) aware of the work you need to do but simply not be able to find the motivation to get started. I also understand the feelings of shame and guilt ____2____ often accompany this internal conflict. But before I give you any practical advice or strategies to deal with your stress, I want to emphasize the importance of not beating yourself up for letting your work pile up; negative self-talk is only going to increase your anxiety.
You wouldn’t be human ____3____ you didn’t feel a lack of motivation at times. When you feel demotivated, try taking a small step in the right direction by choosing any one of the tasks you need to finish and starting working on it, ____4____ your feelings.
This may sound redundant, but fighting the impulse to not get started because of your lack of motivation ____5____ be exactly what you need to do in order to find motivation. Once you start completing a task that you ____6____ (put off) for days or even weeks, there’s a fair chance that you’ll realize it didn’t even take you that long to complete. Then you can use that experience as evidence that you’re able to complete your tasks by simply choosing to get started instead of giving in to your lack of motivation.
This is easier said than done, but I find breaking down work into small parts rather than attempting to tackle ____7____ all at once helps to ease your anxiety and stress. If you’d prefer a more unconventional strategy, try taking a 15-minute walk, whether it outside or just around your house. Many doctors believe ____8____ this exercise may boost flowing to your brain, which can help you calm your nerves and clear your head so that you’ll feel ready to get down to doing your work.
But if there seems to be ____9____ ongoing problem with your motivation, and you feel overwhelmed to the point where you struggle to get out of bed or keep a regular eating schedule, it may be time to seek help from a mental health professional. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers for help. ____10____ (prioritize) your mental health is a crucial part of your ability to be the best student you can be. Take care of yourself, Anxious Bunny.

Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
We know someone who fits the description. You probably work with one; you might even be related to one. And with Christmas approaching, the season of office parties and family gatherings you’re increasingly likely to have to ____11____ with them and rediscover just how annoying they are. I’m talking about know-it-alls, people who will enthusiastically ____12____ you about a topic or activity, despite obviously having little to no knowledge in what they’re talking about - and often when you do.
Why would some people assume ____13____ knowledge to others, about every possible subject? One is the phenomenon of “naive realism” (direct realism or common sense realism), which describes how people instinctively assume that their ____14____ of the world reflect objective reality. In actuality, everything we perceive and “know” about the world has been filtered through a complex mesh (筛网) of cognitive biases, sensory shortcuts, shifting emotional memories and more. What we think is reality in our heads is often noticeably ____15____ the actual reality, but we don’t recognize this happening. As a result, we regularly encounter people whose understanding of the world is very different to our own. But naive realism means we assume that those who understand the world differently are ____16____. For a seemingly large number of people, this results in an irresistible urge to “correct” others. It may spring from entirely good intentions, but that doesn’t make it any less____17____.
This can be the full story ____18____, as countless people believe others are wrong, yet never do or say anything about it. Another potential cognitive bias ____19____, proposed in a recent study by Prof Hunter Gehlbach, Dr Carly D Robinson and Prof Annette Flerch, published in the journal PLoS ONE, is the illusion (幻觉) of information adequacy. Put simply, this describes how, despite lacking sufficient information to make correct judgements about something, many people will assume the _____20_____. It’s logically very hard to recognize and take account of what we don’t know.
A(n) _____21_____ of the illusion of information adequacy and naive realism can lead to people believing they know more than they really do. In their minds, this knowledge is more advanced than that of others and they must hurry to correct it
Then there’s our old friend, the Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a certain area tend to _____22_____ their abilities. Their lack of intellectual insight means they _____23_____ to recognize when someone else knows more than them, they’ll confidently argue with those who are better informed. And because people often respond more to confidence than _____24_____, they usually get away with it. If this happens often enough, they could convince themselves that they’re _____25_____ on pretty much everything, even though the opposite is true.

Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes.
This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small changes over time.
To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.
Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models.
Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect.
Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.”
32. What does the underlined word “simulating” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Copying. B. Inspiring. C. Demonstrating. D. Recognizing.
33. MovieNet is trained ________.
A. to integrate dynamic images B. to increase visual inputs
C. to feed on information pieces D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons
34. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet?
A. Its powerful data storage.
B. Its low energy consumption.
C Its control of medical diseases.
D. Its improvement on drug effects.
35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Biology brings us financial profits.
B. Living organisms can outperform AI.
C. AI can assist in biological development.
D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家开发出的一种新型的人工智能模型——MovieNet,并详细说明其原理、优势以及潜在应用。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词的上文“This brain-inspired AI model(这个受大脑启发的人工智能模型)”和下文的内容“how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world(神经元是如何实时感知世界的)”可知,既然这种人工智能模型是受人类大脑启发的,那么它肯定是可以模仿神经元对世界的感知。因此,划线单词simulating的意为“模仿”或“复制”,与动词copying意义一致。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.(蝌蚪的神经元处理这些视觉输入就像解决拼图一样:每一块单独可能都没有意义,但它们一起形成了一个完整的运动图像。不同的神经元处理现实生活中运动图像的各种“拼图”,然后大脑将它们组合成一个连续的场景。)”和第四段的句子“Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes.(利用这种理解,研究人员训练MovieNet通过识别小的视觉信号来处理视频片段,使其能够区分场景中的小变化。)”可知,MovieNet是通过整合动态图像来识别场景中的微小变化的。故选A项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact.(传统的人工智能需要大量的数据和能源,但MovieNet像压缩文件一样压缩数据,减少了对环境的影响。)”可知,MovieNet通过压缩数据减少了对环境的影响,即其能耗较低。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“By designing models that think like living organisms, we can achieve efficiency levels that aren’t possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.(通过设计像生物体一样思考的模型,我们可以达到传统人工智能无法达到的效率水平,”克莱恩说,“生物学是一座金矿。)”可知,Cline认为通过模仿生物体的思维方式设计模型,可以达到传统AI无法实现的效率水平,并称生物学为“金矿”。因此,可以推断出从生物学中汲取灵感是很有前景的。故选D项。

Dear Anxious Bunny,
I fully understand how debilitating it can feel ____1____ (be) aware of the work you need to do but simply not be able to find the motivation to get started. I also understand the feelings of shame and guilt ____2____ often accompany this internal conflict. But before I give you any practical advice or strategies to deal with your stress, I want to emphasize the importance of not beating yourself up for letting your work pile up; negative self-talk is only going to increase your anxiety.
You wouldn’t be human ____3____ you didn’t feel a lack of motivation at times. When you feel demotivated, try taking a small step in the right direction by choosing any one of the tasks you need to finish and starting working on it, ____4____ your feelings.
This may sound redundant, but fighting the impulse to not get started because of your lack of motivation ____5____ be exactly what you need to do in order to find motivation. Once you start completing a task that you ____6____ (put off) for days or even weeks, there’s a fair chance that you’ll realize it didn’t even take you that long to complete. Then you can use that experience as evidence that you’re able to complete your tasks by simply choosing to get started instead of giving in to your lack of motivation.
This is easier said than done, but I find breaking down work into small parts rather than attempting to tackle ____7____ all at once helps to ease your anxiety and stress. If you’d prefer a more unconventional strategy, try taking a 15-minute walk, whether it outside or just around your house. Many doctors believe ____8____ this exercise may boost flowing to your brain, which can help you calm your nerves and clear your head so that you’ll feel ready to get down to doing your work.
But if there seems to be ____9____ ongoing problem with your motivation, and you feel overwhelmed to the point where you struggle to get out of bed or keep a regular eating schedule, it may be time to seek help from a mental health professional. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out to your teachers for help. ____10____ (prioritize) your mental health is a crucial part of your ability to be the best student you can be. Take care of yourself, Anxious Bunny.

Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A.B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
We know someone who fits the description. You probably work with one; you might even be related to one. And with Christmas approaching, the season of office parties and family gatherings you’re increasingly likely to have to ____11____ with them and rediscover just how annoying they are. I’m talking about know-it-alls, people who will enthusiastically ____12____ you about a topic or activity, despite obviously having little to no knowledge in what they’re talking about - and often when you do.
Why would some people assume ____13____ knowledge to others, about every possible subject? One is the phenomenon of “naive realism” (direct realism or common sense realism), which describes how people instinctively assume that their ____14____ of the world reflect objective reality. In actuality, everything we perceive and “know” about the world has been filtered through a complex mesh (筛网) of cognitive biases, sensory shortcuts, shifting emotional memories and more. What we think is reality in our heads is often noticeably ____15____ the actual reality, but we don’t recognize this happening. As a result, we regularly encounter people whose understanding of the world is very different to our own. But naive realism means we assume that those who understand the world differently are ____16____. For a seemingly large number of people, this results in an irresistible urge to “correct” others. It may spring from entirely good intentions, but that doesn’t make it any less____17____.
This can be the full story, ____18____, as countless people believe others are wrong, yet never do or say anything about it. Another potential cognitive bias ____19____, proposed in a recent study by Prof Hunter Gehlbach, Dr Carly D Robinson and Prof Annette Flerch, published in the journal PLoS ONE, is the illusion (幻觉) of information adequacy. Put simply, this describes how, despite lacking sufficient information to make correct judgements about something, many people will assume the _____20_____. It’s logically very hard to recognize and take account of what we don’t know.
A(n) _____21_____ of the illusion of information adequacy and naive realism can lead to people believing they know more than they really do. In their minds, this knowledge is more advanced than that of others and they must hurry to correct it
Then there’s our old friend, the Dunning-Kruger effect: the cognitive bias where people with limited competence in a certain area tend to _____22_____ their abilities. Their lack of intellectual insight means they _____23_____ to recognize when someone else knows more than them, they’ll confidently argue with those who are better informed. And because people often respond more to confidence than _____24_____, they usually get away with it. If this happens often enough, they could convince themselves that they’re _____25_____ on pretty much everything, even though the opposite is true.

Four Excellent Museums for Kids to Explore
An injection of knowledge, Leeds
The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is giving a huge makeover recently. It features a Victorian street full of real smells and bugs, and presents shows of the impact of some terrible infectious diseases — cholera and smallpox before vaccinations. There are talks, displays, games as well as some information about health heroes over the years.
Adults: £12; children aged 5-15: £10; children under 5: free.
Follow that train, Walthamstow, London
A huge steam engine stands at the entrance to the small, indoor-outdoor Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum. Two 1967 Victoria Line carriages sit side by side with the cabs open to the would-be train drivers. Fireman Frank display s the fire engine featured in TV programs such as London’s Burning.
Free entrance.

Imagine an artificial intelligence model that can watch and understand moving images like you and me. Now, scientists have made this a reality by creating MovieNet: an innovative AI that processes videos much like how our brains interpret real-life scenes.
This brain-inspired AI model can perceive moving scenes by simulating how neurons (神经元) make real-time sense of the world. While conventional AI excels at still image recognition, MovieNet is designed to understand complex, dynamic scenes, allowing it to recognize small changes over time.
To create MovieNet, Hollis Cline, senior author of the study, examined how animals’ brains process real-world scenes. Specifically, he studied how tadpoles’ (蝌蚪的) neurons respond to moving stimuli. Tadpoles’ neurons process these visual inputs like solving puzzle pieces: each piece alone may not make sense, but together they form a complete image in motion. Different neurons process various “puzzle pieces” of a real-life moving image, which the brain then combines to form a continuous scene.
Using this understanding, the researchers trained MovieNet to process video clips by identifying small visual signals, allowing it to distinguish between small changes in scenes. In testing, MovieNet achieved 82.3% accuracy, outperforming trained human observers by 18% and doing much better than existing AI models.
Beyond its higher accuracy, MovieNet is more environment-friendly. Conventional AI requires vast amounts of data and energy, but MovieNet compresses (压缩) data like a zipped file, reducing environmental impact. “We’ve also made AI far less demanding,” says Cline. MovieNet could also transform medicine. It might help detect early signs of diseases by tracking small movement changes that are difficult for human eyes to detect.
Looking ahead, the team plans to improve MovieNet’s ability to adapt to different environments and enhance its potential applications. “By designing models that think like living organisms (有机体), we can achieve efficiency levels that aren't possible with traditional AI,” says Cline, “Biology is a gold mine.”
32 What does the underlined word “simulating” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Copying. B. Inspiring. C. Demonstrating. D. Recognizing.
33. MovieNet is trained ________.
A. to integrate dynamic images B. to increase visual inputs
C. to feed on information pieces D. to look into tadpoles’ neurons
34. According to paragraph 5, what is an advantage of MovieNet?
A. Its powerful data storage.
B. Its low energy consumption.
C. Its control of medical diseases.
D. Its improvement on drug effects.
35. What can be concluded from Cline’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Biology brings us financial profits.
B. Living organisms can outperform AI.
C AI can assist in biological development.
D. Drawing inspiration from biology is promising.
