During nineteen forty five to nineteen fifty four, he worked on designs for computers. One of his most famous ideas was the turing test. He thought computers could be made to do everything a person could do. So his test was to see when a computer could be considered to be like a human being. He thought, if a person could communicate with the computer, and you couldn't tell if you talked with a person or a computer, that computer would become just like a human being.

The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.
“When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.”
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”
Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.”
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues. They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more.
24. What is Merrigan’s class like?
A. Warm, supportive, and engaging.
B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven.
C. Loving and teacher-centered.
D. Caring and focused on personal work.
25. Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories?
A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns.
B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价).
C. To easily manage possible classroom differences.
D. To make her students more focused on her lessons.
26. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety.
B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement.
C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods.
D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.
C
The saying “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” has become popular, yet many dismiss it as empty advice. For someone approaching 50, the reality of aging can feel unavoidable (不可避免的). However, recent studies show that our subjective (主观的) age—how old we feel—has a profound impact on health and lifespan (寿命). Traditionally, age is measured by birth certificates, but scientists now focus on biological age indicators like inflammation (炎症) levels. While physical decline is certain, psychological (心理的) factors also play a key role. Aging experts note that just as bodies change with time, minds follow predictable patterns.
In the 1990s, Stanford researcher Laura Carstensen studied how psychology changes with age. Young people, considering time as limitless, prioritize exploration—learning, socializing, and forming new connections. This encourages enthusiasm but also impulsivity(冲动) and emotional weakness. In contrast, older adults, aware of life’s being limited, shift toward seeking meaning, emotional depth, and sharing wisdom.
Yet individual differences exist. Some people remain “young at heart”, while others adopt older behaviors in advance. Research shows these differences matter: a lower subjective age correlates (相互关联) with better health, longer life expectancy, and reduced inflammation—a key indicator of disease.
So, what determines subjective age? While genetics and lifestyle contribute, mindset appears crucial. Older adults who stay socially active, learn new skills, and maintain purpose report feeling younger.
The good news is that subjective age is malleable (可塑的). Simple habits—like adopting hobbies, maintaining relationships, or practicing gratitude—can reframe one’s insight into time. Feeling younger isn’t just about optimism; it’s a practical strategy for healthier aging.
Actually, aging isn’t only a biological process but a psychological journey. By focusing on what truly matters—connection, growth, and purpose, we might not stop the clock, but we can certainly make it tick differently.
27. What does paragraph 1 tell us?
A. Inflammation levels don’t decide age at all.
B. How old we feel doesn’t affect our health and lifespan.
C. The reality of aging can make people lose the purpose of life.
D. Age is a mirror of mental attitude; brave it, and it reflects energy.
28. Which do young people consider as important?
A. Emotional stability.
B. Financial security.
C. New challenges.
D. Social status.
29. A lower subjective age may lead to ______.
A. shorter life expectancy
B. poorer health
C. lower social interaction
D. fewer diseases
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. Give in to Your Age
B. Keep a Healthy Lifestyle
C. Don’t Act Your Age
D. What Is Subjective Age?

When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need.

As AI translation gains popularity, people may divide into two groups: those eager to learn languages for cultural experience and mental challenge, and those who see it as unnecessary effort. This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs. ____35____ Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology.
A. Yet, these tools aren’t perfect.
B. And they prefer the convenience of AI.
C. It is a paraphrase rather than a translation.

W: ⑱Alan Turing was born in 1912. When he was 19, he went to study mathematics at King’s College, Cambridge. Four years later, he designed a machine to solve mathematical problems. The next year, he got his PhD at Princeton University, the USA. During 1945–1954, he worked on designs for computers. ⑲One of his most famous ideas was the Turing Test. He thought computers could be made to do everything a person could do. So his test was to see when a computer could be considered to be like a human being. He thought if a person could communicate with the computer and you couldn’t tell if you talked with a person or a computer, that computer would become just like a human being. ⑳Alan Turing had made a great contribution to human beings.

B
The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.
“When small children tell you they love you, say it back to them,” said the teacher. “It’s important for every child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay. When they know you truly care about them, they want to do their best for you, because they’re seeking your approval.”
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. “Maybe the children told you that they really like dinosaurs so when you’re teaching the letter ‘D’, you create a dinosaur art project to go with it.”
Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom, how children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life, experts say. “This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they’re experiencing formal education,” said Hedy Chang, executive director of Attendance Works, a nonprofit working to boost student attendance. “What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success.”
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental issues. They may need to feel nurtured, experts say. “To the degree that parents keep kids home from school because the kids say they don’t want to go,” said Deborah Stipek, an expert from Stanford University, “children’s relationship with the teacher should be an important factor.” Merrigan, who herself remembers faking being sick a few times as a child, couldn’t agree more.
24. What is Merrigan’s class like?
A. Warm, supportive, and engaging.
B. Comfortable, quiet and test-score-driven.
C. Loving and teacher-centered.
D. Caring and focused on personal work.
25. Why does Merrigan listen to her students’ personal stories?
A. To learn about children’s behavior patterns.
B. To help with exact grading and assessments (评价).
C. To easily manage possible classroom differences.
D. To make her students more focused on her lessons.
26. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Managing Parental Separation Anxiety.
B. attendance and Academic (学业的) Achievement.
C. Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods.
D. Developing Emotional Connections in Kindergartens.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了幼儿园老师宝拉・梅里根(Paula Merrigan)通过热情、关爱和个性化教学等方式,在幼儿园课堂中培养与孩子们的情感联系,让孩子们在学校有安全感,为他们的社交和学业成功奠定基础。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection. (宝拉·梅里根(Paula Merrigan)幼儿园班级里的孩子们常常叫她妈妈,有时甚至叫她奶奶。部分原因是每天早上孩子们走进教室时,梅里根都会笑容满面地迎接他们。她在一天中的某个时候与他们中的每一个人一对一地工作,她慷慨地给予表扬、拥抱和关爱。)” 以及第三段 “Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. (梅里根还让孩子们给她讲他们的故事,以了解他们热衷的事情)” 可知,她的课堂充满温暖、支持且互动性强。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to learn what they’re passionate about. “When you learn about certain things they like and tie them to your topic, they love it,” she said. (梅里根还让孩子们给她讲他们的故事,以了解他们热衷的事情。她说:“当你了解到他们喜欢的某些东西,并将其与你的教学主题联系起来时,他们会很喜欢”)” 可知,梅里根听学生的个人故事是为了让学生更专注于她的课程。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The pupils in Paula Merrigan’s kindergarten (幼儿园) class often call her Mom, or sometimes even Grandma, partly because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the morning. She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day, and she’s generous with praise, hugs, and affection.

C
The saying “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” has become popular, yet many dismiss it as empty advice. For someone approaching 50, the reality of aging can feel unavoidable (不可避免的). However, recent studies show that our subjective (主观的) age—how old we feel—has a profound impact on health and lifespan (寿命). Traditionally, age is measured by birth certificates, but scientists now focus on biological age indicators like inflammation (炎症) levels. While physical decline is certain, psychological (心理的) factors also play a key role. Aging experts note that just as bodies change with time, minds follow predictable patterns.
In the 1990s, Stanford researcher Laura Carstensen studied how psychology changes with age. Young people, considering time as limitless, prioritize exploration—learning, socializing, and forming new connections. This encourages enthusiasm but also impulsivity (冲动) and emotional weakness. In contrast, older adults, aware of life’s being limited, shift toward seeking meaning, emotional depth, and sharing wisdom.
Yet individual differences exist. Some people remain “young at heart”, while others adopt older behaviors in advance. Research shows these differences matter: a lower subjective age correlates (相互关联) with better health, longer life expectancy, and reduced inflammation—a key indicator of disease.
So, what determines subjective age? While genetics and lifestyle contribute, mindset appears crucial. Older adults who stay socially active, learn new skills, and maintain purpose report feeling younger.
The good news is that subjective age is malleable (可塑的). Simple habits—like adopting hobbies, maintaining relationships, or practicing gratitude—can reframe one’s insight into time. Feeling younger isn’t just about optimism; it’s a practical strategy for healthier aging.
Actually, aging isn’t only a biological process but a psychological journey. By focusing on what truly matters—connection, growth, and purpose, we might not stop the clock, but we can certainly make it tick differently.
27. What does paragraph 1 tell us?
A. Inflammation levels don’t decide age at all.
B. How old we feel doesn’t affect our health and lifespan.
C. The reality of aging can make people lose the purpose of life.
D. Age is a mirror of mental attitude; brave it, and it reflects energy.
28. Which do young people consider as important?
A. Emotional stability.
B. Financial security.
C. New challenges.
D. Social status.
29. A lower subjective age may lead to ______.
A. shorter life expectancy
B. poorer health
C. lower social interaction
D. fewer diseases
30. What is the best title for the text?
A. Give in to Your Age
B. Keep a Healthy Lifestyle
C. Don’t Act Your Age
D. What Is Subjective Age?
【答案】27. D 28. C 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了关于衰老与主观年龄的关系。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The saying “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” has become popular, yet many dismiss it as empty advice. For someone approaching 50, the reality of aging can feel unavoidable (不可避免的). However, recent studies show that our subjective (主观的) age—how old we feel—has a profound impact on health and lifespan (寿命). Traditionally, age is measured by birth certificates, but scientists now focus on biological age indicators like inflammation (炎症) levels. While physical decline is certain, psychological (心理的) factors also play a key role. Aging experts note that just as bodies change with time, minds follow predictable patterns. (“年龄是一个心态决定的问题。如果你不在意,它就无关紧要。” 这句话已经广为流传,然而很多人却将其视为空洞无用的建议而不予理会。对于年近五十的人来说,衰老的现实似乎难以避免。然而,最近的研究表明,我们的主观年龄——即我们感觉自己有多大——对健康和寿命有着深远的影响。传统上,年龄是通过出生证明来衡量的,但如今科学家们关注的是诸如炎症水平之类的生理年龄指标。虽然身体机能衰退是必然的,但心理因素也起着关键作用。衰老问题专家指出,正如身体会随着时间发生变化一样,人的心理也遵循着可预测的模式)”可知,年龄在一定程度上反映了心态,若能勇敢面对衰老,积极的心态会带来积极影响,就像镜子一样,你积极面对,它就反映出活力。故选D项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Young people, considering time as limitless, prioritize exploration—learning, socializing, and forming new connections. This encourages enthusiasm but also impulsivity and emotional weakness. (年轻人认为时间是无限的,他们优先考虑探索——学习、社交以及建立新的联系。这激发了热情,但也导致了冲动和情感上的脆弱)”可知,年轻人重视探索新事物,新挑战属于探索范畴,故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“a lower subjective age correlates with better health, longer life expectancy, and reduced inflammation—a key indicator of disease. (较低的主观年龄与更好的健康状况、更长的预期寿命以及降低的炎症相关——炎症是疾病的一个关键指标)”可知,较低的主观年龄意味着更好的健康状况、更长的预期寿命和更低的炎症,也就意味着疾病更少,故选D项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Actually, aging isn’t only a biological process but a psychological journey. By focusing on what truly matters—connection, growth, and purpose, we might not stop the clock, but we can certainly make it tick differently. (实际上,衰老不仅仅是一个生理过程,也是一段心理历程。通过关注真正重要的东西——人际关系、自我成长和人生目标,我们或许无法让时光停驻,但肯定能让生命以不同的节奏前行)”可知,文章围绕主观年龄展开,强调不应仅仅依据实际年龄来行事,要重视心理层面的年龄感受,通过保持年轻的心态和采取积极的生活方式来更好地应对衰老,C选项“Don’t Act Your Age(不要按年龄行事)”准确概括了文章主旨。故选C项。

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。
When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. ____31____ Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively.
____32____ Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes. For instance, translating “my wife is gluten-free (不能吃面筋)” into French or Italian as “my wife is without gluten” misses the intended meaning: However, competitors offer better alternatives. ____33____ It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input.
While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel. ____34____
As AI translation gains popularity, people may divide into two groups: those eager to learn languages for cultural experience and mental challenge, and those who see it as unnecessary effort. This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs. ____35____ Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology.
A. Yet, these tools aren’t perfect.
B. And they prefer the convenience of AI.
C. It is a paraphrase rather than a translation.
D. Travel has long been a motivator for study.
E. Despite this, the social significance of language remains.
F. This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology.
G. ChatGPT stands out by creating natural-sounding paraphrases.
【答案】31. F 32. A 33. G 34. B 35. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了AI翻译工具的优缺点。
【31题详解】
前文“When traveling, many find themselves in places where the local language is unfamiliar. Once, travelers relied on phrasebooks, but the spread of English has reduced this need. However, most people worldwide still don’t speak English. (旅行时,许多人发现自己在当地语言不熟悉的地方。曾经,旅行者依赖于常用语手册,但英语的传播减少了这种需求。然而,世界上大多数人仍然不会说英语)”提到“旅行时很多人会身处不熟悉当地语言的地方,虽然英语的传播减少了对常用语手册的依赖,但世界上大多数人仍不会说英语”。选项F “This leads them to rely on gestures, patience, or technology. (这导致他们依靠手势、耐心或技术)”中“this”指代前文人们身处陌生语言环境且多数人不会英语的情况,自然地引出后文人们使用免费翻译应用程序这一技术手段来解决问题。故选F。
【32题详解】
前文“Increasingly, travelers use free translation apps. These apps allow users to speak into their phones and receive spoken translations almost instantly, bridging language gaps effectively. (越来越多的旅行者使用免费的翻译软件。这些应用程序允许用户对着手机说话,并几乎立即收到语音翻译,有效地弥合了语言差距)”指出翻译软件的作用,但下文的例子“Google Translate, a well-known name, often makes mistakes.(谷歌翻译,一个众所周知的名字,经常犯错误)”指出“谷歌翻译常出错”,所以,空格处的句子应该是一个转折句,由翻译软件的作用转到其缺点上来,所以,选项A “Yet, these tools aren’t perfect. (然而,这些工具并不完美)”符合语境,“these tools”指代前文的翻译软件,“然而”表示转折,引出后文对谷歌翻译不完美的举例说明。故选A。
【33题详解】
前文“However, competitors offer better alternatives. (然而,竞争对手提供了更好的选择)”提到“谷歌翻译有错误,而其竞争对手提供了更好的选择”,后文“It offers no direct translations, but imitates a native speaker’s input.(它不提供直接翻译,而是模仿母语人士的输入)”描述了该工具“不提供直接翻译,而是模仿母语者的输入”,其中it肯定代指谷歌翻译的某一竞争对手,所以,空格处的句子应该提到谷歌翻译的竞争对手,所以选项G “ChatGPT stands out by creating natural - sounding paraphrases. (ChatGPT通过生成听起来自然的意译脱颖而出)”符合语境。“意译”与后文“模仿母语者输入”相呼应,且“脱颖而出”表明它是谷歌翻译竞争对手中的优秀代表。故选G。
【34题详解】
前文“While AI tools make travel easier, some worry they discourage language learning. Douglas Hofstadter, a language expert, argues that relying on machines for communication robs people of meaningful experiences and accomplishments. However, others believe most people don’t need fluency for casual travel. (虽然人工智能工具让旅行变得更容易,但一些人担心它们会阻碍语言学习。语言专家Douglas Hofstadter认为,依赖机器进行交流剥夺了人们有意义的经历和成就。然而,另一些人认为,大多数人在休闲旅行时不需要流利的英语)”提到“一些人担心人工智能工具会阻碍语言学习,而另一些人认为大多数人在休闲旅行中不需要流利的语言能力”。选项B “And they prefer the convenience of AI. (而且他们更喜欢人工智能的便利)”中“他们”指代前文认为旅行中不需要流利语言能力的人,进一步说明了这些人的态度,即更倾向于使用人工智能翻译工具的便利。故选B。
【35题详解】
前文“This issue is particularly pressing for English speakers, as many schools in English-speaking countries reduce foreign language programs. (这个问题对说英语的人来说尤其紧迫,因为许多英语国家的学校减少了外语课程)”提到“许多英语国家的学校减少了外语课程”,下文“Direct communication, even if imperfect, brings up deeper connections than relying on technology. (直接交流,即使不完美,也比依赖技术带来更深层次的联系)”强调“直接交流,即使不完美,也比依赖技术能带来更深入的联系”。所以,空格处的句子应该是转折句,同时指出“语言的交流作用”,所以选项E “Despite this, the social significance of language remains. (尽管如此,语言的社会意义仍然存在)”符合语境。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文讲述了中国钢琴家郎朗在瑞士中部最高的火车站,于雪山之巅演奏了《爱之梦》《茉莉花》和《哥德堡变奏曲》等曲目。此次演出受到观众热烈欢迎,促进了中欧文化交流,展现了郎朗在古典音乐界的地位以及他通过音乐增进文化理解的期望。
【51题详解】
考查副词。句意:这场演出受到了观众的热烈欢迎。句中 welcomed 为动词,需用副词来修饰,warm是形容词,其副词形式为warmly,“warmly welcomed”表示“热烈欢迎”,符合句子语境。故填warmly。
【52题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:郎朗是古典音乐界的领军音乐家之一。“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”是常见结构,表示“最……之一”,musician意为“音乐家”,是可数名词,这里要用复数形式musicians。故填musicians。
【53题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管他在全球举办了数千场演出,但这是他第一次在雪山之巅弹奏钢琴。“It is/was one's first time to do sth.”是固定句型,意思是“这是某人第一次做某事”,所以这里要用动词不定式to play。故填to play。
【54题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:低温使这对他来说颇具挑战性。根据上下文语境,这里描述的是过去发生的事情,所以要用一般过去时。make的过去式是 made。故填made。
【55题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:“《茉莉花》这首曲子是为这场演出特别挑选的,”郎朗说。“The piece ‘Jasmine Flower’”是句子的主语,与 choose之间是被动关系,即“曲子被挑选”,且事情发生在过去,所以要用一般过去时的被动语态,结构为“was/were + 过去分词”。主语是单数,be动词用was,choose的过去分词是chosen。故填was chosen。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我弹奏了这首来自我自己文化的美妙曲子。这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词piece,beauty是名词,其形容词形式为beautiful,意为“美妙的,美丽的”。故填beautiful。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意:我希望通过中国音乐之美,让观众有兴趣更多地了解中国。“be interested in”是固定短语,意思是“对……感兴趣”,所以这里填in。故填in。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在郎朗弹奏第三首曲子之前,他的手指有点冷,但他并不惧怕大雪和稀薄的空气。在序数词前一般要用定冠词the,表示顺序“第三”。故填the。
【59题详解】
考查连词。句意:在郎朗弹奏第三首曲子之前,他的手指有点冷,但他并不惧怕大雪和稀薄的空气。前一句提到手指冷,后一句说不惧怕恶劣环境,前后形成转折关系,所以用连词but。故填but。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意:“这场演出对我意义重大。我希望我们将来能进行更多的文化交流,以便更好地相互理解,使两国之间的关系比以前更紧密,”郎朗补充道。这里作介词to的宾语,要用宾格形式,I的宾格是me。故填me。
