Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor”, the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart”. While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions for having a rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?
A. To argue for the true essence of courage.
B. To question the common belief of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To clarify different interpretations of courage.
5. What did one of the two students suggest the author’s daughter do?
A. Keep a suitable pace. B. Seek professional suggestions.
C. Challenge her own limit. D. Stay with experienced climbers.
6. Which behavior shows true courage according to the author?
A. The two students stayed with them.
B. The author’s daughter tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The group celebrated their arrival at the mountain top.
D. The two students pointed out the group’s indifference.
7. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Courage means bravery in everything.
B. Most people with courage can succeed.
C. A beginner has to go through more struggles.
D. We don’t have to be a hero without asking for help.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. D

Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make a squeaking (吱吱声) noise, which is hard or unable to hear. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds. Although we don’t consciously hear the noises, they can be picked up by a highly sensitive microphone placed in the ear canal.
Lead scientist Professor Jennifer Groh believes that they may occur as eye movements trigger the brain to contract either the middle ear muscles or the hair cells — doing the former helps dampen loud noises, while doing the latter amplifies (放大) quiet ones. This arrangement could help us make sense of our surroundings, by automatically adjusting the sensitivity of our hearing based on what we’re looking at.
In a recent experiment, Groh’s team and Professor Christopher Shera from the University of Southern California recruited 16 adults, all with good vision and hearing, to take a simple test. The volunteers started by visually tracking the movements of a green dot on a computer screen, without moving their heads. As they did so, an eye-tracking camera recorded the direction of their gaze, while microphones in their ear canals recorded their ear sounds.
When the eye video and ear audio recordings were subsequently cross-referenced, it was found that eye movements in specific directions produced specific types of ear noises. The scientists were thus able to tell where a participant’s gaze was focused, simply by identifying what sort of noise “signature” their ears were making. It was also possible to do the opposite — the researchers could accurately tell what sort of sounds the volunteers’ ears were making, by tracking the direction of their gaze. It is hoped that the team’s findings will contribute to a better understanding of human perception (感知), possibly leading to more accurate and informative hearing tests.
“If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology& neuroscience at Duke.
8. Why do the ear noises occur according to Professor Jennifer Groh?
A. Some noises echo in the ear canal occasionally.
B. The head moves too quickly along with the ears.
C. A highly sensitive microphone usually causes the noises.
D. The brain contracts muscles or hair cells with eye movements.
9. What potential outcome do the researchers anticipate from their findings?
A. Creating a new type of hearing aid.
B. Enhancing the design of microphones.
C. Understanding human perception better.
D. Replacing traditional vision tests with new technology.
10. What does Stephanie Lovich think of these findings?
A. Complex. B. Promising.
C. Faulty. D. Primitive.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The human perception is complex.
B. Eye movements lead to brain responses.
C. Scientists know what your eyes talk to your ears.
D. The evolution of hearing is discovered by scientists.
【答案】8 D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现眼睛移动时耳朵会产生声音,并开发出通过分析这些声音来判断人的注视方向的方法,还介绍了相关实验及研究的意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Lead scientist Professor Jennifer Groh believes that they may occur as eye movements trigger the brain to contract either the middle ear muscles or the hair cells — doing the former helps dampen loud noises, while doing the latter amplifies quiet ones.(首席科学家Jennifer Groh教授认为,这可能是因为眼球运动触发了大脑收缩中耳肌肉或毛细胞——前者有助于抑制噪音,而后者则放大安静的声音。)”可知,Jennifer Groh教授认为耳音的出现是因为大脑会随着眼睛的运动收缩肌肉或毛细胞。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It is hoped that the team’s findings will contribute to a better understanding of human perception (感知), possibly leading to more accurate and informative hearing tests.(希望该小组的研究结果将有助于更好地理解人类感知,可能带来更准确和信息丰富的听力测试。)”可知,研究人员预计他们的发现能更好地理解人类感知。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology& neuroscience at Duke.(如果耳朵的每个部分都为耳膜信号贡献了单独的规则,那么它们就可以作为一种临床工具来评估耳朵的哪个解剖部位出现了故障,”该论文的主要作者之一、杜克大学心理学和神经科学研究生Stephanie Lovich说”。)”可知,Stephanie Lovich认为这些发现是有希望的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make a squeaking noise, which is hard or unable to hear. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds.(早在2018年,杜克大学的科学家就发现,每次我们的眼睛移动时,耳朵都会发出吱吱声,这种声音很难或无法听到。现在,研究人员已经开发出一种通过分析这些声音来判断一个人在看哪里的方法。)”和下文内动可知,文章主要讲述了科学家发现眼睛移动时耳朵会产生声音,并开发出通过分析这些声音来判断人的注视方向的方法,还介绍了相关实验及研究的意义,所以文章的最佳标题是C项“科学家知道你的眼睛和耳朵在说什么”,故选C项。
D
Teachers across the country are dealing with whether to view AI tools like ChatGPT as friend or foe in the classroom. My research shows that the answer isn’t always simple. It can be both.
Increasingly, students are using AI to help with their schoolwork. Students tend to view AI as having a positive impact on their creativity. In our study, 100% of participants using AI found it helpful for brainstorming. Only 16% of students preferred to brainstorm without AI. The students in this study generated more diverse and detailed ideas when using AI. They found that AI was useful for starting brainstorming sessions. Other research has shown that AI can also serve as a nonjudgmental partner for brainstorming, which can boost a free stream of ideas they might normally withhold in a group setting.
The downside of brainstorming with AI was that some students voice d concerns about overreliance on the technology. They feared it might undermine their own thoughts and, consequently, confidence in their creative abilities. Some students reported a “fixation of the mind”, meaning that once they saw the AI’s ideas, they had a hard time coming up with their own.
Some students also questioned the originality of ideas generated by AI. The research supported these opinions. We noted that while using ChatGPT improved students’ creative output individually, the AI ideas tended to be repetitive overall. This is likely due to generative AI recycling existing content rather than creating original thought.
The study results indicate that allowing students to practice creativity independently first will strengthen their belief in themselves and their abilities. Once they accomplish this, AI can be useful for furthering their learning, much like teaching long division to students before introducing a calculator.
As generative AI gains popularity, schools are pressed to set guidelines to ensure these tools are used responsibly. Some states have already developed guidelines for AI in education. Ethical considerations are vital for a positive relationship between creativity and AI. Our team will continue to research the effect of AI on students’ creativity, exploring its impact on agency, confidence and other phases of the creative process. AI in education is not just about the latest technology. It’s about shaping a future where human creativity and technological advancement progress hand in hand.
12. What can AI do when serving as a nonjudgmental partner for brainstorming?
A. Inspire the expression of unspoken ideas. B. Provide the group with detailed facts.
C. Compare the ideas with each other. D. Evaluate a free stream of ideas.
13. What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Promote. B. Weaken. C. Reveal. D. Judge.
14. What is crucial to students when using AI for their schoolwork?
A. Ethical considerations. B. Practicing brainstorm consistently.
C. Avoiding fixation of the mind. D. Independent and creative thinking.
15. What will the team’s next focus be?
A The advantage of AI in education. B. The originality of ideas generated by AI.
C. The impact of AI on students’ innovation. D. The ability of AI to communicate with humans.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现,人工智能可能有助于学生更好地解决问题,但也会阻碍他们的创造性思维的形成。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Other research has shown that AI can also serve as a nonjudgmental partner for brainstorming, which can boost a free stream of ideas they might normally withhold in a group setting.(其他研究表明,人工智能还可以作为头脑风暴的非评判伙伴,这可以促进他们通常在群体环境中保留的想法的自由流动)”可知,作为头脑风暴的非评判伙伴,人工智能能激发未说出口的想法的表达。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The downside of brainstorming with AI was that some students voice d concerns about overreliance on the technology.(与人工智能进行头脑风暴的缺点是,一些学生表达了对过度依赖这项技术的担忧)”以及后文“their own thoughts and, consequently, confidence in their creative abilities(他们自己的想法,从而削弱他们对自己的创造力的信心)”可知,一些学生表达了对过度依赖这项技术的担忧,他们担心这项技术可能会逐渐削弱他们自己的思维,从而削弱他们对自己的创造力的信心。故划线词意思是“削弱”。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The study results indicate that allowing students to practice creativity independently first will strengthen their belief in themselves and their abilities. Once they accomplish this, AI can be useful for furthering their learning, much like teaching long division to students before introducing a calculator.(研究结果表明,首先让学生独立实践创造力,可以增强他们对自己的信心和能力。一旦他们做到了这一点,人工智能就可以帮助他们进一步学习,就像在介绍计算器之前教学生长除法一样)”可知,在使用人工智能完成作业时,独立和创造性思维对学生来说至关重要的。故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Our team will continue to research the effect of AI on students’ creativity, exploring its impact on agency, confidence and other phases of the creative process.(我们的团队将继续研究人工智能对学生创造力的影响,探索其对代理、信心和创作过程其他阶段的影响)”可知,团队的下一个重点是人工智能对学生创新的影响。故选C。

47. 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。
In the small town of Greendale, the annual Harvest Festival was a time - honored tradition that brought the community together. The town square was filled with stalls featuring homemade goods, crafts, and an array of local produce. Brightly colored leaves adorned the trees and lamp posts, and the smell of pumpkin pie and apple cider filled the air. Children ran about playing hide-and-seek and laughing, while their parents sat together, sharing stories and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
One of the main attractions at the festival was the pie-baking contest, which always drew a large crowd. This year, the competition was fierce, with more participants than ever. Among the contestants was Mrs Ellen Baker, a retired schoolteacher and a famous baker in Greendale. Her apple pies were famous for their flaky crust and perfectly spiced filling. As she placed her entry on the judges’ table, she noticed the nervous faces of the other contestants, especially young Tommy, a first-timer who had entered his grandmother’s cherry pie recipe.
Tommy had spent weeks practicing, determined to honor his grandmother’s legacy (遗产). The pie looked beautiful, but as he watched the judges sampling different entries, his confidence began to decrease. Mrs Baker, noticing his anxiety, gave him a reassuring smile. She remembered her first competition, the nerves, and the excitement. And she knew just how much courage it took to put one’s baking skills on display.
The judges made their rounds, tasting, noting, and occasionally nodding in approval. The crowd waited eagerly, whispering predictions and cheering for their favorite bakers. As the announcement time drew near, Tommy’s hands trembled slightly — this moment could be a turning point for him.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Tommy watched as the judges discussed among themselves, occasionally glancing at his pie. He tried to read their expressions, searching for any sign of approval, his mind racing with possibilities. His heart raced as he saw them nod appreciatively while discussing his entry, their nods and murmurs of agreement a promising sign. Mrs Baker caught his eye and winked, her confidence in him unspoken but clearly conveyed, a warm smile spreading across her face. Tommy felt a wave of hope; maybe, just maybe, his grandmother’s recipe had impressed them, and he would finally receive the recognition he deserved.
Finally, the judge stepped forward to announce the winners. The crowd quieted, eager to hear the results. “Third place goes to Tommy for his outstanding cherry pie!” The audience erupted in applause as Tommy’s face lit up with a proud smile. He accepted his ribbon, feeling grateful and proud of his achievement. His hard work and his grandmother’s beloved recipe had paid off, earning recognition and praise from the judges and the crowd.

Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor”, the Latin word for heart. Originally, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart”. While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions for having a rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started. But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage?
A. To argue for the true essence of courage.
B. To question the common belief of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To clarify different interpretations of courage.
5. What did one of the two students suggest the author’s daughter do?
A. Keep a suitable pace. B. Seek professional suggestions.
C. Challenge her own limit. D. Stay with experienced climbers.
6. Which behavior shows true courage according to the author?
A. The two students stayed with them.
B. The author’s daughter tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The group celebrated their arrival at the mountain top.
D. The two students pointed out the group’s indifference.
7. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Courage means bravery in everything.
B. Most people with courage can succeed.
C. A beginner has to go through more struggles.
D. We don’t have to be a hero without asking for help.

Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make a squeaking (吱吱声) noise, which is hard or unable to hear. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds. Although we don’t consciously hear the noises, they can be picked up by a highly sensitive microphone placed in the ear canal.
Lead scientist Professor Jennifer Groh believes that they may occur as eye movements trigger the brain to contract either the middle ear muscles or the hair cells — doing the former helps dampen loud noises, while doing the latter amplifies (放大) quiet ones. This arrangement could help us make sense of our surroundings, by automatically adjusting the sensitivity of our hearing based on what we’re looking at.
In a recent experiment, Groh’s team and Professor Christopher Shera from the University of Southern California recruited 16 adults, all with good vision and hearing, to take a simple test. The volunteers started by visually tracking the movements of a green dot on a computer screen, without moving their heads. As they did so, an eye-tracking camera recorded the direction of their gaze, while microphones in their ear canals recorded their ear sounds.
When the eye video and ear audio recordings were subsequently cross-referenced, it was found that eye movements in specific directions produced specific types of ear noises. The scientists were thus able to tell where a participant’s gaze was focused, simply by identifying what sort of noise “signature” their ears were making. It was also possible to do the opposite — the researchers could accurately tell what sort of sounds the volunteers’ ears were making, by tracking the direction of their gaze. It is hoped that the team’s findings will contribute to a better understanding of human perception (感知), possibly leading to more accurate and informative hearing tests.
“If each part of the ear contributes individual rules for the eardrum signal, then they could be used as a type of clinical tool to assess which part of the anatomy in the ear is malfunctioning,” said Stephanie Lovich, one of the lead authors of the paper and a graduate student in psychology& neuroscience at Duke.
8. Why do the ear noises occur according to Professor Jennifer Groh?
A. Some noises echo in the ear canal occasionally.
B The head moves too quickly along with the ears.
C. A highly sensitive microphone usually causes the noises.
D. The brain contracts muscles or hair cells with eye movements.
9. What potential outcome do the researchers anticipate from their findings?
A Creating a new type of hearing aid.
B. Enhancing the design of microphones.
C. Understanding human perception better.
D. Replacing traditional vision tests with new technology.
10. What does Stephanie Lovich think of these findings?
A. Complex. B. Promising.
C. Faulty. D. Primitive.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The human perception is complex.
B. Eye movements lead to brain responses.
C. Scientists know what your eyes talk to your ears.
D. The evolution of hearing is discovered by scientists.

Teachers across the country are dealing with whether to view AI tools like ChatGPT as friend or foe in the classroom. My research shows that the answer isn’t always simple. It can be both.
Increasingly, students are using AI to help with their schoolwork. Students tend to view AI as having a positive impact on their creativity. In our study, 100% of participants using AI found it helpful for brainstorming. Only 16% of students preferred to brainstorm without AI. The students in this study generated more diverse and detailed ideas when using AI. They found that AI was useful for starting brainstorming sessions. Other research has shown that AI can also serve as a nonjudgmental partner for brainstorming, which can boost a free stream of ideas they might normally withhold in a group setting.
The downside of brainstorming with AI was that some students voice d concerns about overreliance on the technology. They feared it might undermine their own thoughts and consequently, confidence in their creative abilities. Some students reported a “fixation of the mind”, meaning that once they saw the AI’s ideas, they had a hard time coming up with their own.
Some students also questioned the originality of ideas generated by AI. The research supported these opinions. We noted that while using ChatGPT improved students’ creative output individually, the AI ideas tended to be repetitive overall. This is likely due to generative AI recycling existing content rather than creating original thought.
The study results indicate that allowing students to practice creativity independently first will strengthen their belief in themselves and their abilities. Once they accomplish this, AI can be useful for furthering their learning, much like teaching long division to students before introducing a calculator.
As generative AI gains popularity, schools are pressed to set guidelines to ensure these tools are used responsibly. Some states have already developed guidelines for AI in education. Ethical considerations are vital for a positive relationship between creativity and AI. Our team will continue to research the effect of AI on students’ creativity, exploring its impact on agency, confidence and other phases of the creative process. AI in education is not just about the latest technology. It’s about shaping a future where human creativity and technological advancement progress hand in hand.

In the small town of Greendale, the annual Harvest Festival was a time - honored tradition that brought the community together. The town square was filled with stalls featuring homemade goods, crafts, and an array of local produce. Brightly colored leaves adorned the trees and lamp posts, and the smell of pumpkin pie and apple cider filled the air. Children ran about playing hide-and-seek and laughing, while their parents sat together, sharing stories and enjoying the festive atmosphere.
One of the main attractions at the festival was the pie-baking contest, which always drew a large crowd. This year, the competition was fierce, with more participants than ever. Among the contestants was Mrs Ellen Baker, a retired schoolteacher and a famous baker in Greendale. Her apple pies were famous for their flaky crust and perfectly spiced filling. As she placed her entry on the judges’ table, she noticed the nervous faces of the other contestants, especially young Tommy, a first-timer who had entered his grandmother’s cherry pie recipe.
Tommy had spent weeks practicing, determined to honor his grandmother’s legacy (遗产). The pie looked beautiful, but as he watched the judges sampling different entries, his confidence began to decrease. Mrs Baker, noticing his anxiety, gave him a reassuring smile. She remembered her first competition, the nerves, and the excitement. And she knew just how much courage it took to put one’s baking skills on display.
The judges made their rounds, tasting, noting, and occasionally nodding in approval. The crowd waited eagerly, whispering predictions and cheering for their favorite bakers. As the announcement time drew near, Tommy’s hands trembled slightly — this moment could be a turning point for him.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
