Returning customers who make a reservation will receive an extra 5% discount on their visit.(3至5人的用餐团体可享受9折优惠，更大的团体可享受8.5折优惠！预订的常客将额外享受5%的折扣)”可知，6人用餐团体属于更大的团体，可享受15%的折扣，作为常客预订可额外享受5%的折扣，所以总共可以享受20%的折扣，是最大折扣。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文详细介绍了一家特色餐厅的特色、促销活动、顾客评价以及温馨提示，旨在吸引顾客前来体验。由此推知，本文可能是一则广告。故选D项。 B Ladakh, in the trans-Himalayas, with its vast, uninhabited and stunning landscapes, has fascinated me since my first visit 20 years ago. In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region’s raw beauty held an entirely different pull — one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn’t noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these huntergatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human — long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book — Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh — was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 4. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art. 5. What can we learn from Morris’s quote in paragraph 3? A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can’t exist without materials. 6. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Systematic. B. Brain-tearing. C. Painstaking. D. Eventful. 7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph B. Written in Stone: Ladakh’s Timeless Artistry C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh’s Heritage D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因拉达克岩画面临开发破坏而投入十年记录，揭示其作为人类艺术本能体现的价值，并通过书籍向世界传播这一文化遗产。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. (记录这些石刻变得紧迫，因为数百年的雕刻正在发展的压力下遭到破坏。)”可知，区域发展的威胁导致岩画正在被破坏，作者受此驱使决定进行记录。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Desmond Morris所说的话“It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances. (人类似乎无论如何都无法脱离艺术，即便在物质条件匮乏的情况下。)”可知，Morris强调人类天生具有艺术表达的本能，与物质条件无关。因此，C项“艺术深植于人类本性中”准确概括了这一思想。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. (这绝非易事，考虑到拉达克的广袤、我想记录所有地区艺术的野心、有限的时机以及严酷的条件，更不用说所有行程都是自费。)”可知，在这一过程中作者面临各种艰难和挑战，因此这是艰辛的。A. Systematic系统性的；B. Brain-tearing烧脑的；C.Painstaking辛苦的；D. Eventful多事的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. (作为一位始终追寻冒险的登山爱好者，这些迷人的艺术如同火焰吸引飞蛾般令我着迷，由此开启了我长达十年的探索与记录之旅。)”和第三段中“These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. (这些刻痕绝非仅仅是岩石上的雕刻，更是我们对之一无所知的远古文化的映射。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者记录拉达克史前岩画，探索其作为古代艺术的价值，并出版书籍的经历。因此，B项“刻于石上：拉达克的永恒艺术”涵盖岩画和艺术性，且Timeless呼应文中古代与现代的连接，最适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 C Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“T”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.) In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, while in Korean, the subject is usually left out and in Arabic verbs often come first. So flexibility is vital in processing different languages simply because they have different properties. The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.” 8. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence. C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain. 9. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake. 10. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure? A. Universe the about documentary saw. B. Saw I a documentary about the universe. C. I saw a documentary about the universe. D. I a documentary about the universe saw. 11. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of brain researches. B. The application of the present findings. C. The purposes of different linguistic models. D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了语言学家Andrea E. Martin团队的研究发现：人类大脑通过调整语法分析策略来适应不同语言的基本语法差异，并强调科学界需在语言模型中纳入更多语言多样性。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.(但语言学家Andrea E. Martin表示，人脑通常会根据语言的语法规则几乎立即完成这项工作。而且，Martin的团队现在发现，人脑能够通过调整处理每个句子的方式来适应不同语言之间根本性的语法差异)”可知，作者开篇举例是为了引出Martin团队的新研究发现，即大脑处理不同语言的灵活性。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“participants tended to finish each phrase in their head preemptively before it was complete(参与者倾向于在短语未完成时preemptively在脑中补全它)”可知，上文“But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model(但在Martin的研究中，说荷兰语的人强烈倾向于一个高度预测的模型)”说的是参与者需要再头脑中补全每一个句子，下文说的是在完成之前，可推理出此处说的是参与者倾向于在短语未完成时提前在脑中补全它，可推理出“preemptively”意为“提前地”。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, while in Korean, the subject is usually left out and in Arabic verbs often come first. So flexibility is vital in processing different languages simply because they have different properties.(在荷兰语的结构中，动词位于句子的末尾，而不是像英语那样紧跟在主语之后；而在韩语中，主语通常被省略；在阿拉伯语里，动词往往放在最前面。因此，在处理不同语言时，灵活性至关重要，因为它们具有不同的特性)”可知，荷兰语结构为“主语+宾语+动词”结构。选项D“I a documentary about the universe saw”为“主语I+宾语a documentary about the universe+动词saw”结构，符合荷兰语结构。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models.(这些发现支持了科学家在构建语言模型时需要纳入更多多样性的必要性)”可知，这些发现支持了科学家在构建语言模型时需要纳入更多多样性的必要性，可推理出Martin强调研究中语言多样性的必要性，故选D。 D Recently, a friend asked for help with a tricky problem: they were staging a play, and the script had a large number of characters. They didn’t want to hire an actor for each role, and while they could double up, they would run into problems if the same actor were playing two characters in a scene. Luckily, I was the right person to come to for help. There’s a versatile (通用的) piece of maths — graph colouring — that’s effective at solving many such problems, from casting a play to timetable scheduling. Mathematicians are often particularly interested in graph colouring, which involves assigning a colour to each point of a graph-networks of points joined by lines, so that any two point s joined with a line are assigned different colours. Finding the minimum number of colours needed to do this can tell us something useful about the graph’s structure. For example, a graph with a triangle of points all joined to a fourth point in the centre will need at least four colours to fill it in. One of my favourite uses of graph colouring is in scheduling problems: imagine a set of students, with a shared set of classes. We can draw a graph, indicating each class by a point, and join two points if those classes have any students taking both (so they can’t happen at the same time). Then, we find a way to colour the graph using the fewest possible colours. The minimum number of colours will tell us how many timetables periods we will need: each colour represents a set of classes with no overlap in students, so they can all happen simultaneously (同时地). This may tell you how I solved my friend’s problem: I suggested they draw a graph, represent each character with a point, and join two characters with a line if they appeared in any scenes together. Colouring this graph minimally then told them exactly how many actors they would need to stage the play. Another victory for maths — on with the show! 12. What worried the author’s friend most? A. The lack of towering actors. B. The numerous scene changes. C. The tight budget for costumes. D. The scene conflicts of the same actor. 13. Which of the following best illustrates the example in paragraph 2? B: Blue G: Green R: Red Y: Yellow A. B. C. D. 14. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Clarify an assumption. B. Present an application. C. Introduce an approach. D. Analyze a phenomenon. 15. How does the author sound in the last paragraph? A. Proud. B. Serious. C. Hesitant. D. Authoritative. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了通用的数学方法——图着色。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They didn’t want to hire an actor for each role, and while they could double up, they would run into problems if the same actor were playing two characters in a scene. (他们不想为每个角色都聘请一名演员，虽然可以让演员一人分饰多角，但如果同一个演员在一个场景中扮演两个角色，就会出现问题。)”可知，作者朋友最担心的是同一个演员的场景冲突问题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For example, a graph with a triangle of points all joined to a fourth point in the centre will need at least four colours to fill it in. (例如，一个由三个点构成三角形且都与中心的第四个点相连的图，至少需要四种颜色来填充。)”可知，图形中有四个点，且三个点构成三角形并都与中心的点相连，每个相连的点颜色不同，所以至少需要四种颜色。C选项符合该描述。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One of my favourite uses of graph colouring is in scheduling problems: imagine a set of students, with a shared set of classes. (我最喜欢的图着色的应用之一是在日程安排问题上：想象有一群学生，他们有共同的课程。)”以及后面的具体说明可知，作者在这一段旨在介绍图着色在日程安排问题上的应用。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Another victory for maths — on with the show! (数学的又一次胜利——好戏开场!)”可以看出，作者对用数学方法解决朋友的问题感到很自豪。故选A项。 第三节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior. Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements. ___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures. To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation. To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___ A. That is how we remain human. B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency. C. In many cases they save us considerable time. D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm. E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”. G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人们对算法推荐的依赖现象，强调保持人类自主决策能力的重要性。 【16题详解】 前文“When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. (当你登录社交媒体时，是否有算法管理你的推送？网上购物时，你是否常关注AI推荐的置顶商品？如果回答“是”，大多数时候你会听从算法推荐)”描述人们普遍跟随算法推荐的行为，后文“As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior. (顾名思义，这个术语指的是我们日益倾向于将决策权交给那些旨在预测和控制我们行为的系统)”给出对这一现象的专业定义，因此F项“Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”. (心理学家将这种常见现象称为“算法依赖”)”符合语境，给出该现象的术语，承前启后，其中的this common practice指代前文行为，algorithmic dependence是后文的the term指代的对象。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. (现在，接受算法建议从根本上来说并无不妥)”肯定算法的合理性，后文“But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. (但正如滴水穿石般，对AI推荐的反复依赖会逐渐削弱我们独立判断的能力，甚至动摇自我认知的根基)”指出长期依赖算法的危害，因此C项“In many cases they save us considerable time. (在许多情况下，它们为我们节省大量时间)”符合语境，具体说明算法节省时间的益处，承接前文，和后文构成转折，其中的they指代前文的algorithmic suggestions。故选C。 【18题详解】 后文“It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. (它是做出有意选择和采取有目的行动的能力)”讨论人类自主决策能力，因此B项“So, it’s time to reclaim human agency. (因此，是时候重新找回人类的自主权了)”符合语境，引出对自主决策的呼吁，统领段落，其中的human agency是后文It指代的对象。故选B。 【19题详解】 前文“That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?”(也就是说，在接受一个推荐之前，停下来问问自己：“如果完全由我自己决定，我会做出同样的选择吗？”)”给出有意停顿的具体方法，因此E项“This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. (这种短暂反思会让你对决策有清醒认知)”符合语境，指出方法的有效性，承接前文。故选E。 【20题详解】 前文“As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. (随着AI深度融入生活，我们必须积极维护决策能力)”总结维护自主决策的必要性，因此A项“That is how we remain human. (这便是我们保持人性的方式)”符合语境，将自主决策提升至人性本质的高度，以哲学视角收束全文，强化核心论点。故选A。 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。 The first time I went fishing was in Minnesota.

But for me, things were quite the opposite. I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.” Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning: Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day. Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying! Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies. Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting! After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there. “That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open. 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。 Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. It was dark inside. I gathered myself and went toward the sound with great care. As I flicked on my phone’s flashlight and saw what was in one of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal — baby foxes! They were crawling out of a hole and then tumbling back down. Adorable! Barely could I contain my thrill and excitement at my first encounter with these wild creatures. Knowing that everyone adored animals, I snapped a hundred photos and quickly updated my post. This time, I knew I’d make everyone jealous, including, of course, my two best friends. As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. Likes did pour in as anticipated, alongside Carlos and Natalia’s warm words. Yet, the thrill of likes faded as my thoughts wandered to the cute baby foxes’ awkward leaps — no filter could frame this joy. Piece by piece, the farm’s simple wonders surfaced: the unforgettable dawn scene, the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies, the dusty barn, and wild magic, etc., and all these kept me spellbound. Mom was right: true joy wasn’t in crafting envy-worthy posts for likes but in these simple, precious moments spent with my beloved Grandpa on the magic farm. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者羡慕朋友从事令人兴奋的事情，向妈妈抱怨，但是妈妈让作者浸在体验中，品尝真正的快乐。于是作者开始在社交媒体上更新在农场的生活，从中发现了一些令人兴奋的事情，作者也认同妈妈的想法是对的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，从谷仓的角落里传来一个微弱的声音。”可知，第一段可描写作者在谷仓里发现了小狐狸，并拍照更新了自己的帖子。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我等待评论的时候，我内心的某些东西开始发生变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者的帖子受到欢迎以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：进入谷仓——发现小狐狸——激动兴奋——发布帖子——帖子受欢迎——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/spot ②喜爱：adore/like ③消失：fade/vanish 情绪类 ①嫉妒：jealous/envious ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I flicked on my phone’s flashlight and saw what was in one of the stalls, I let out a high-pitched squeal — baby foxes!

B Ladakh, in the trans-Himalayas, with its vast, uninhabited and stunning landscapes, has fascinated me since my first visit 20 years ago. In 2011, my fifth time in Ladakh, the region’s raw beauty held an entirely different pull — one that seemed to hum with an ancient energy, a force I hadn’t noticed before. In the very bones of the land lay a collection of prehistoric carvings known as petroglyphs, the only remains of prehistoric human presence in the area. Seeing these carvings, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was witnessing something far deeper than I had imagined. There was an urgency to document them, as centuries-old carvings were being destroyed under the pressures of development. As a mountain enthusiast always seeking adventures, this attractive art drew me in, like a moth to a flame, beginning a decade-long journey of discovery and documentation. These markings were not just carvings on rock but reflections of an ancient culture we know little about. Despite tough living conditions, these huntergatherers still found ways to convey their beliefs and observations through highly stylized forms, reflecting the deep artistic desire that has always been a part of the human — long before the rise of civilized society. As artist and anthropologist Desmond Morris put it, “It is as if the human species were incapable of being artless regardless of material circumstances.” To bring these open-air art galleries to a wider audience, I wanted to create something that had not been attempted before by using specialized photography techniques with my focus being on distribution, styles and creative range. It was no small matter, given the vastness of Ladakh, my ambition to capture art from every region, the limited windows of opportunity, and the harsh conditions I faced. Not to mention, all my trips were personally funded. When the book — Speaking Stones: Rock Art of Ladakh — was named a finalist for the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2024, I was honored, but the recognition was secondary. My true reward was a deeper connection with time and nature through a vast unbroken string, binding us all together. 4. What drove the author to document the petroglyphs? A. The threat of regional progress. B. The appeal of amazing scenery. C. A search for thrilling experiences. D. A childhood bond with ancient art. 5. What can we learn from Morris’s quote in paragraph 3? A. Art is the mirror of nature. B. Art inspires human wisdom. C. Art is deeply rooted in humans. D. Art can’t exist without materials. 6. Which can best describe the process of creating the book? A. Systematic. B. Brain-tearing. C. Painstaking. D. Eventful. 7 Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Tasting the Past: The Analysis of Petroglyph B. Written in Stone: Ladakh’s Timeless Artistry C. Guarding the Rocks: A Saver of Ladakh’s Heritage D. Carved by Time: A Record of Himalayan Geography C Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“T”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study leaned strongly toward a highly predictive model; participants tended to finish each phrase in their head preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.) In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, while in Korean, the subject is usually left out and in Arabic verbs often come first. So flexibility is vital in processing different languages simply because they have different properties. The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.” 8. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence. C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain. 9. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake. 10. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure? A. Universe the about documentary saw. B. Saw I a documentary about the universe. C. I saw a documentary about the universe. D. I a documentary about the universe saw. 11. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of brain researches. B. The application of the present findings. C. The purposes of different linguistic models. D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies. D Recently, a friend asked for help with a tricky problem: they were staging a play, and the script had a large number of characters. They didn’t want to hire an actor for each role, and while they could double up, they would run into problems if the same actor were playing two characters in a scene. Luckily, I was the right person to come to for help. There’s a versatile (通用的) piece of maths — graph colouring — that’s effective at solving many such problems, from casting a play to timetable scheduling. Mathematicians are often particularly interested in graph colouring which involves assigning a colour to each point of a graph-networks of points joined by lines, so that any two point s joined with a line are assigned different colours. Finding the minimum number of colours needed to do this can tell us something useful about the graph’s structure. For example, a graph with a triangle of points all joined to a fourth point in the centre will need at least four colours to fill it in. One of my favourite uses of graph colouring is in scheduling problems: imagine a set of students, with a shared set of classes. We can draw a graph, indicating each class by a point, and join two points if those classes have any students taking both (so they can’t happen at the same time). Then, we find a way to colour the graph using the fewest possible colours. The minimum number of colours will tell us how many timetables periods we will need: each colour represents a set of classes with no overlap in students, so they can all happen simultaneously (同时地). This may tell you how I solved my friend’s problem: I suggested they draw a graph, represent each character with a point, and join two characters with a line if they appeared in any scenes together. Colouring this graph minimally then told them exactly how many actors they would need to stage the play. Another victory for maths — on with the show! 12. What worried the author’s friend most? A.

When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior. Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements. ___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures. To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation. To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___ A. That is how we remain human. B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency. C. In many cases they save us considerable time. D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm. E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”. G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result. 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。 The first time I went fishing was in Minnesota.

But for me, things were quite the opposite. I complained to Mom over the phone about the extreme boredom during the first week of my summer stay on my grandparents’ farm. She said, “Don’t envy others! Just dive into the experience and taste true joy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to live on a farm.” Her words gave me an idea, so I decided I would compose my social media status updates on the farm. Then, my post hit the feed the next morning: Alyssa’s Status: 5:54 A.M. The rooster (公鸡) is standing tall on his post, wings shining in the dawn light. He beats his wings, lifts his head high, and declares the start of a brand new day. Carlos posted at 7:39 A.M., saying he was searching for sea turtle nests on the beach and hoping to find one. Natalia posted at 11:19 A.M., asking which color to paint a rock star’s house. They got 26 and 28 likes respectively. To my great joy, my post got almost the same amount of attention as theirs. Satisfying! Just as I was about to comment on their posts, Grandma interrupted me, “Alyssa, put your shoes on. We’re off to Haverford’s farm to pick blackberries.” Later that afternoon, I posted about the unexpected fun and described in vivid detail about the fantastic flavors of blackberry pies. Responses? Carlos said he wished he could taste one while Natalia was envious of my farm adventure. Interesting! After breakfast the following morning, Grandma said, “I was just thinking that today might be a good day for you to explore the old barn (谷仓). I’ve spotted foxes nearby — maybe you’ll find some adorable baby foxes there. “That would have potential for a worthy photo to post online,” I thought to myself. Perfect! With curiosity, I approached the old barn, and pushed the door open. 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。 Suddenly, a weak sound was heard from a corner of the barn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I was waiting for the comments, something within me started to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
