Farmers’ Market at Harvard
We’re excited to welcome you to the Harvard Farmers’ Market in 2025! Join us every Tuesday from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm at Harvard’s Science Center Plaza (1 Oxford Street, Cambridge), starting from June 17th and ending on October 28th. Please note: There will be no market on August 26th.
By visiting the market, you directly support local farmers and food creators who provide fresh, healthy produce. The market accepts several government assistance programs to make health y food more accessible:
·SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program): This program helps families buy nutritious food s like fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy. At our market, SNAP benefits are doubled up to $15 per week. For example, spending $10 with your SNAP card gives you $20 to use on eligible (符合条件的) items.
·WIC (Women, Infants and Children): Designed for pregnant women, infants, and children under five, WIC provides coupons for fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs to support healthy eating.
·Senior FMNP Coupons: Eligible seniors can use these coupons to purchase locally grown fresh produce, herbs, and honey.
Why buy local?
·Build Community: Talk to farmers directly to learn about how your food is grown and connect with the people behind your meals.
·Help the Environment: Small farms protect natural land and reduce the carbon footprint of food transportation.
·Support Local Families: Buying directly from farmers ensures they earn fair prices, helping them sustain their farms and families.
Sign up for our weekly newsletter to stay updated on market events and fresh arrivals. We look forward to seeing you every Tuesday!

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Join us every Tuesday from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm at Harvard’s Science Center Plaza (1 Oxford Street, Cambridge), starting from June 17th and ending on October 28th. Please note: There will be no market on August 26th.(每周二上午11:30至下午5:30,请到哈佛科学中心广场(剑桥市牛津街1号)加入我们,活动从6月17日开始,10月28日结束。请注意:8月26日没有集市。)”可知,文章特别注明8月26日没有集市,说明8月26日是周二,所以8月19日是周二,可以参观,2025年10月20日不是周二。所以8月19日上午11:40可以参观哈佛农贸市场。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At our market, SNAP benefits are doubled up to 15 per week. For example, spending 10 with your SNAP card gives you $20 to use on eligible items.(在我们的市场上,SNAP福利每周最高可翻倍至15美元。例如,用你的SNAP卡消费10美元,你就可以得到20美元用于购买符合条件的商品。)”可知,如果用SNAP卡在市场上消费12美元,实际上可以用24美元购买符合条件的商品。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Why buy local?部分中“Build Community: Talk to farmers directly to learn about how your food is grown and connect with the people behind your meals. (建立社区:直接与农民交谈,了解你的食物是如何种植的,并与你的餐食背后的人建立联系。)”、“Help the Environment: Small farms protect natural land and reduce the carbon footprint of food transportation.(保护环境:小农场保护自然土地,减少食物运输的碳足迹。)”以及“Support Local Families: Buying directly from farmers ensures they earn fair prices, helping them sustain their farms and families.(支持当地家庭:直接从农民那里购买可以确保他们获得公平的价格,帮助他们维持农场和家庭。)”可知,从市场上购买本地食品的好处不包括“对超市有经济利益”。故选A。
B
The storm swallowed the horizon whole. Waves like blackened teeth bit at the broken boat, each crash sending shakes through Marco’s water-filled boots. Salt covered his eyelids, but he kept them narrowly open — to blink was to give in to the dark.
Three days without sleep. The compass lay somewhere at the bottom of this floating coffin, but north meant nothing here between walls of water that rose taller than church towers.
His fingers, blue and sore, still gripped the tiller (舵柄). A child’s hands, the fishermen had laughed when he’d signed on. Sixteen winters didn’t make a man, they said. Let them see him now. Let them watch as he pressed his hip against the rocking wood, taking the sea’s blows like boxer absorbing hits. Every wave that didn’t kill the boat fed his resolve.
No food. No charts. Just the knife at his belt and the stubborn rhythm of his heart pounding “alive, alive, alive” against ribs (肋骨) that ached with each breath,
When the wave came — the mountain, the killer, the thing without mercy — Marco didn’t pray. Prayer required hope, and hope was a currency the sea didn’t honor. Instead, he bent his knees as Old Tomas had taught him. “You don’t fight the water, boy,” the grey-haired sailor had said, tobacco flavouring his words. “You let it think it’s winning until it gets bored.”
The deck disappeared beneath him. Cold knifed into his lungs. For three seconds, he was nothing but a grain of sand in God’s boot.
Then the boat rose to the surface like a dying whale, and Marco was still there. Still holding. Still bleeding. Still being.
He laughed then, a sound torn between madness and victory. The storm hadn’t killed him yet.
And if it hadn’t, it wouldn’t.
4. What does the underlined phrase “this floating coffin” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The sea. B. The boat. C. The compass. D. The boot.
5. What can be inferred about Marco from Paragraph 3?
A. His physical pain discouraged him from operating the boat.
B. His determination grew with each survival challenge.
C. His inexperience was ignored by the fishermen.
D. His youth left him at the mercy of storms.
6. How did Marco survive the killer wave?
A. He followed Tomas’s advice. B. He fought the water directly.
C. He abandoned the tiller. D. He prayed for rescue.
7. Which of the following best reflects Marco’s smallness in the face of nature?
A. Waves like blackened teeth. (Paragraph 1) B. Boxer absorbing hits. (Paragraph 3)
C. A grain of sand in God’s boot. (Paragraph 6) D. A dying whale. (Paragraph 7)
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Marco在暴风雨中与海浪搏斗、顽强求生的故事。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Waves like blackened teeth bit at the broken boat, each crash sending shakes through Marco’s water-filled boots.(波浪像变黑的牙齿咬着破船,每次撞击都会让马可的满是水的靴子颤抖)”以及第二段的“The compass lay somewhere at the bottom of this floating coffin, but north meant nothing here between walls of water that rose taller than church towers.(指南针躺在这个漂浮的棺材的底部,但是在教堂塔楼还高的水墙之间,北方已经没有任何意义了)”可知,他所在的船在暴风雨中如同漂浮的棺材,此处的“this floating coffin”指的是上文提到的“broken boat”,即这艘破船。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Sixteen winters didn’t make a man, they said. Let them see him now. Let them watch as he pressed his hip against the rocking wood, taking the sea’s blows like boxer absorbing hits. Every wave that didn’t kill the boat fed his resolve.(他们说,十六个冬天并不能造就一个男人。让他们现在看看他。让他们看着他如何用臀部抵住摇晃的木头,像拳击手一样承受海浪的打击。每一波没有击沉船的海浪都增强了他的决心)”可知,每一次未摧毁船只的海浪都增强了Marco的决心,说明他的意志随生存挑战而增长。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“When the wave came — the mountain, the killer, the thing without mercy — Marco didn’t pray. Prayer required hope, and hope was a currency the sea didn’t honor. Instead, he bent his knees as Old Tomas had taught him.(当海浪袭来——像山一样,像杀手一样,像无情的东西一样——Marco没有祈祷。祈祷需要希望,而希望是这片海不尊重的东西。相反,他像老Tomas教他的那样弯下膝盖)”以及第六段中“Then the boat rose to the surface like a dying whale, and Marco was still there.(然后船像一条垂死的鲸鱼一样浮到水面,Marco还在那里)”可知,Marco遵循了Tomas的建议,在面对杀手浪时弯下了膝盖,从而幸存了下来。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“For three seconds, he was nothing but a grain of sand in God’s boot.(有三秒钟的时间,他不过是上帝靴子里的一粒沙子)”可推知,Marco在面对大自然时感觉自己非常渺小,就像上帝靴子里的一粒沙子。故选C。
C
Human civilization stands on the edge of a new era: the Intelligence Age. Over the coming decades, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) will empower us to achieve what our grandparents regarded magical. This builds upon centuries of progress, where social facilities — not genetic evolution — has enhanced human capabilities. Our ancestors laid the foundation; now, AI offers tools to solve once-unconquerable challenges, extending the “scaffolding of progress (进步阶梯)” to heights unimaginable before.
The breakthrough lies in deep learning. By discovering algorithms (算法) that analyze complex data patterns, humanity unlocked a self-improving system: the more computational power and data we feed it, the smarter it becomes. This ability explains why AI’s potential is limitless. Soon, personalized AI teams will assist in healthcare, education, and software creation. AI-driven systems may pioneer next-generation innovations, from climate solutions to space colonization.
However, realizing this future demands accessible infrastructure (基础设施).COMPUTE — the engine of AI — must become abundant and affordable through energy investment and chip production. Without public access, AI risks becoming a tool for the wealthy or a cause of conflict. Historically, every technological leap — from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution — reshaped societies. The Intelligence Age will be no different. Labor markets will evolve, but human creativity and adaptability will persist. Just as lamplighters of the past couldn’t envision modern careers, tomorrow’s jobs will go beyond today’s definitions.
Challenges exist — moral dilemmas, job replacement, and resource allocation (分配) — yet the benefits outweigh the risks. AI promises shared wealth, raising global living standards. While wealth alone doesn’t guarantee happiness, it provides the means to address pressing issues. By embracing AI wisely, humanity can shift from competing against each other to working together for shared benefits.
The path forward requires firm belief. The Intelligence Age, powered by limitless intelligence and energy, will unlock possibilities as unimaginable to us as smartphones would be to a 19th-century lamplighter. Our task is to ensure that its gifts uplift all.
8. What is the key to AI’s unlimited possibilities?
A. Social progress from past generations. B. Its replacement of human innovation.
C. Advancements in genetic evolution. D. Its capacity for self-enhancement.
9. Why must AI infrastructure be accessible to the public?
A. To bridge the wealth gap. B. To improve the chip quality.
C. To prevent privileged enjoyment by the rich. D. To restrict AI’s influence on global labour markets.
10. What can humans achieve by making good use of AI?
A. Joint win-win efforts. B. Guaranteed global happiness.
C. Equal allocation of resources. D. Resolution of moral dilemmas.
11. What does the text mainly focus on?
A. Analyzing AI’s previous progress. B. Predicting AI’s transforming potential.
C. Warning against over-dependence on AI. D. Criticizing unequal access to AI technology.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“By discovering algorithms (算法) that analyze complex data patterns, humanity unlocked a self-improving system: the more computational power and data we feed it, the smarter it becomes. This ability explains why AI’s potential is limitless.(通过发现能够分析复杂数据模式的算法,人类开创了一个自我优化的系统:我们给予它越多的计算能力和数据,它就会变得越聪明。这种能力解释了为何人工智能的潜力是无限的)”可知,AI通过数据和算力实现自我增强,因此可能性无限。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Without public access, AI risks becoming a tool for the wealthy or a cause of conflict.(若不向公众开放使用权限,人工智能就有可能沦为富人的工具,或者成为引发冲突的因素)”可知,若AI基础设施不能普及,可能沦为富人特权。因此,要防止富人独享特权。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“By embracing AI wisely, humanity can shift from competing against each other to working together for shared benefits.(通过明智地利用人工智能,人类能够从相互竞争转变为携手合作以实现共同利益)”可知,AI可促成合作共赢。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Human civilization stands on the edge of a new era: the Intelligence Age. Over the coming decades, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) will empower us to achieve what our grandparents regarded magical. This builds upon centuries of progress, where social facilities — not genetic evolution — has enhanced human capabilities. Our ancestors laid the foundation; now, AI offers tools to solve once-unconquerable challenges, extending the “scaffolding of progress (进步的阶梯)” to heights unimaginable before.(人类文明正站在一个新时代的边缘:智能时代。在未来几十年里,人工智能(AI)领域的进步将使我们能够实现我们祖辈认为不可思议的事情。这建立在数百年来的进步基础之上,其中社会设施(而非基因进化)增强了人类的能力。我们的祖先奠定了基础;如今,人工智能提供了解决曾经无法攻克的难题的工具,将“进步的框架”推向了前所未有的高度)”以及本文围绕 AI重塑未来的潜力展开,如解决气候问题、改变劳动力市场等。即这篇文章主要论述了预测人工智能的变革潜力。故选B。
D
The urban fruit flies that fly around the apples on your counter have to navigate (导航) a rich visual environment to find that food. Desert fruit flies, not so much. They fly through a mostly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers to find certain fruit. Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study contradicts that belief.
Flying fruit flies have two jobs: to head toward interesting things, and also stay stable during flight. Like humans, vision helps fruit flies move straight and stay stable while navigating toward attractive objects. Looking at interesting things interrupts the vision needed to stay stable.
To study how the two types of fruit flies navigate, the researchers designed a system that let the flies interact with objects while tracking their body and eye movements with a camera. They glued a tiny piece of metal to the fly’s back and connected it to a magnet (磁铁) hanging from the top of a round, drum-like device. Another magnet at the bottom of the drum created a magnetic field that held the metal exactly in position while allowing the fly to move around within the drum. The walls of the drum were covered with LED lights and a computer created different moving shapes in various sizes and directions using the lights. The fly could choose how to interact with these virtual objects. One of the objects was a vertical bar (垂直条形物) that looked like something natural, like a tree. This was designed to test how the fly would use the bar and background to navigate.
The desert flies ignored the background and moved to follow the vertical bar smoothly, while the urban flies only relied on the background to navigate smoothly.Desert and urban flies both made rapid eye movements, called saccades, to follow objects that moved along a continuous path.
Fruit flies are often used in experiments studying visual perception and processing.The finding expands the possibilities for what scientists can learn about vision in humans and can also be used to aid the development of autonomous vehicles.
12. What belief about fruit flies has been held for a long time?
A. They have wonderful hunting skills.
B. They adopt the same navigating strategy.
C. They can adapt to complex environments.
D. They can handle predictable barriers well.
13. What is the fundamental flight challenge described in paragraph 2?
A. Distinguishing food from blocking objects.
B. Processing multiple visual signals at once.
C. Limited visual sharpness in complex settings.
D. Balancing target-tracking with flight stability.
14. Why were LED lights used in the experiment?
A. To effectively observe the stability of fruit flies.
B. To closely monitor the eye movements of fruit flies.
C. To create virtual objects for fruit flies to interact with.
D. To track the movement of fruit flies in the experiment.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Visual Navigation Strategies of Fruit Flies
B. Fruit Flies’ Visual Processing Preferences
C. The Great Survival Ability of Fruit Flies
D. Fruit Flies’ Environmental Adaptations
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了果蝇不同视觉导航策略研究发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies.(尽管如此,长久以来人们一直认为其他种类的果蝇和城市果蝇一样,以相同的方式导航和保持平衡)”可知,长期以来人们认为其他种类的果蝇和城市果蝇导航和保持平衡的方式相同,也就是它们采用相同的导航策略。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Flying fruit flies have two jobs: to head toward interesting things, and also stay stable during flight. Like humans, vision helps fruit flies move straight and stay stable while navigating toward attractive objects. Looking at interesting things interrupts the vision needed to stay stable.(飞行的果蝇有两项任务:一是飞向有趣的东西,二是在飞行过程中保持稳定。和人类一样,视觉能帮助果蝇在飞向有吸引力的物体时保持直线飞行和稳定。看有趣的东西会干扰保持稳定所需的视觉)”可推知,果蝇飞行时面临的基本挑战是在追踪目标和保持飞行稳定之间取得平衡。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The walls of the drum were covered with LED lights and a computer created different moving shapes in various sizes and directions using the lights. The fly could choose howto interact with these virtual objects.(鼓的墙壁上覆盖着LED灯,电脑用这些灯创造出不同大小和方向的运动形状。果蝇可以选择如何与这些虚拟物体互动)”可知,LED 灯是用来创造虚拟物体让果蝇与之互动的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“The urban fruit flies that fly around the apples on your counter have to navigate (导航) a rich visual environment to find that food. Desert fruit flies, not so much. They fly through a mostly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers to find certain fruit. Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study contradicts that belief.(在你柜台上的苹果周围飞行的城市果蝇必须在丰富的视觉环境中导航才能找到食物。沙漠果蝇,没那么多。它们飞过一片空旷的土地,没有多少可预测的障碍来寻找某些水果。尽管如此,长期以来人们一直认为,其他种类的果蝇与城市果蝇一样导航和保持平衡。但一项新的研究与这一观点相矛盾)”可知,文章主要介绍了一项关于果蝇视觉导航策略的研究,介绍了研究的过程和发现。所以A选项“果蝇的视觉导航策略”最符合文章标题。故选A。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读补全。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项。
When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. ____16____ In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.
If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. ____17____ It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings.
____18____ At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. ____19____
Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. ____20____ As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference.
A. It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support.
B. We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad.
C. In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind.
D. This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones.
E. If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact.
F. A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety.
G. After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人际关系中的爱恨交织现象及其应对策略。
【16题详解】
上文“When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support.(当我想到我的朋友时,我大多充满了爱和温暖:我迫不及待地想再次见到他们,得到他们的关爱和支持)”说明作者想到朋友时,大多充满了爱和温暖。结合下文“In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.(心情好的时候,这些人能让我度过一个充满乐趣的夜晚,但心情不好的时候,他们会耗尽我所有的善意)”推知,空处和前文为转折关系,说明有些朋友给作者带来的是不同的感受。F项中的However表示转折,“stimulate quite different emotions”与上文的“filled with love and warmth”形成对比,说明有些朋友会激起不同的情感。所以F项“然而,有少数人激起了截然不同的情感——渴望和焦虑的混合体。”符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“Their ambivalence can come in many forms.(他们的矛盾心理可能以多种形式出现)”说明他们的矛盾心理有多种表现形式。空处承接上文,举例说明矛盾心理的一种表现形式。A项“可能是一个在你需要他支持时却经常不在身边的朋友。”符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
下文“At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships.(至少,你会期望他们比我们厌恶的关系对我们更好)”说明人们期望这种爱恨交织的关系能带来一些好处。B项中的“We might hope”与下文的“you would expect”相呼应,“the good would outweigh the bad”与下文的“better for us than our aversive relationships”相契合。所以B项“我们可能希望在这样的关系中,好的一面会超过坏的一面。”符合语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
上文“Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing.(杨百翰大学的另一项研究发现,当参与者准备演讲时,仅仅知道一个爱恨交织的人就在附近,就足以让他们的血压飙升)”说明即使是无意识的提醒也会让人血压升高。C项中的“even unconscious reminders”与上文的“simply knowing”相呼应,“break our peace of mind”与上文的“send their blood pressure rocketing”相契合,进一步说明这种关系的影响。所以C项“事实上,即使是无意识地想起一个爱恨交织的人,也会打破我们的平静。”符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
上文“We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies.(在与爱恨交织的人交往时,我们可以管理自己的期望,并在心理上为这种复杂的情感做好准备)”说明我们可以管理自己的期望,为复杂的情感做好准备。D项中的“This allows us”承接上文,“focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones”与上文的“manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves”相契合,说明这样做的好处。所以D项“这让我们能够关注他们的优点,并对不愉快的方面表示同情。”符合语境。故选D。

I still remember the first time I saw a Magic Eye poster. It was at a lively food festival. In the middle of all the ____21____ , there was a simple poster covered in what looked like ____22____ patterns of colors and shapes. People gathered around it, narrowing their eyes, tilting (倾斜) their heads and staring ____23____ . Suddenly, someone shouted,“It’s a dolphin!”
I stared harder, ____24____ to identify it too. A dolphin? All I saw was a mess of colors. The more I ____25____, the more unlikely it was for me to make it out. Then an old man noticed my frustration and whispered, “____26____ your eyes. Just let it come to you.” It sounded strange, but I ____27____ his advice. And suddenly, there it was — a dolphin.That moment taught me that ____28____ will arrive if I stop forcing things.
Life is full of “Magic Eye” moments. We usually ____29____ that sheer (纯粹的) effort will lead to breakthroughs. However, research shows that forcing a specific result and overthinking can ____30____ us to what’s already there. The ancient Chinese called this paradox (悖论) Wu Wei. It’s the art of achieving by ____31____ the natural flow.
This doesn’t mean we dismiss our ____32____ for success. It means we stop being ____33____by outcomes. Like the Magic Eye poster, life reveals its ____34____ when we relax into it. So take a breath, let go of the ____35____, and watch as the hidden picture — the dolphin,the tiger, or the simple beauty of the present moment — emerges before our eyes.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“年轻人重拾在传统报纸刊登结婚启事”这一现象展开,指出在数字时代,尽管多数年轻人倾向于在社交媒体宣布婚讯,但在报纸刊登启事的传统方式重新流行。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在“报纸刊登结婚启事”这一话题下快速搜索,会出现各种各样的帖子,还有那些这么做过的人分享他们的经历。根据空后的quick search可知,此处表示泛指,指一次快速的搜索,quick以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a,且空处位于句首,首字母需大写。故填A。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在“报纸刊登结婚启事”这一话题下快速搜索,会出现各种各样的帖子,还有那些这么做过的人分享他们的经历。空处修饰名词posts,应用形容词various“各种各样的”作定语。故填various。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:与转瞬即逝的数字帖子不同,报纸启事具有一种永久感,在数字内容难以长久留存的时代,为保存回忆提供了一种有意义的方式。根据空后的short-lived digital posts和newspaper announcements以及句意可知,此处表示“与……不同”,应用介词unlike,且空处位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Unlike。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:与转瞬即逝的数字帖子不同,报纸启事具有一种永久感,在数字内容难以长久留存的时代,为保存回忆提供了一种有意义的方式。way to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“做某事的方式”,所以空处应用动词不定式,作后置定语。故填to keep。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意:一些年轻人认为,在报纸上刊登结婚启事比在社交媒体上发布更正式,他们将其描述为“白纸黑字的承诺”——是夫妻双方相伴到老的宣言。根据句意可知,此处指“在社交媒体上刊登结婚启事”,应用代词that指代前面的publishing marriage announcements,此处为避免重复。故填that。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:一些年轻人认为,在报纸上刊登结婚启事比在社交媒体上发布更正式,他们将其描述为“白纸黑字的承诺”——是夫妻双方相伴到老的宣言。根据空前的冠词a可知,此处应用名词commitment“承诺”,作宾语。故填commitment。
【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:20世纪上半叶,当婚姻法尚不完善时,这类启事具有法律意义,允许夫妻通过向亲友分享喜讯,象征性地宣告他们的结合。空处作句子的谓语,根据时间状语In the first half of the twentieth century可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时。故填carried。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:20世纪上半叶,当婚姻法尚不完善时,这类启事具有法律意义,允许夫妻通过向亲友分享喜讯,象征性地宣告他们的结合。空处修饰动词declare,应用副词symbolically“象征性地”,作状语。故填symbolically。
【44题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这种做法的重新流行,是传统如何更好地适应现代社会的一个例证。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少方式状语,表示“如何”,应用连接副词how引导。故填how。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词或名词。句意:这些启事作为爱与个性的象征,提醒着我们:有些传统值得被珍视。be worth doing/n.为固定搭配,意为“值得做某事/某事值得被做”,所以空处应用动名词preserving或名词preservation,作宾语。故填preserving或preservation。

57. 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。
Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.
At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them.

Paragraph 2: Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. He explained how he had witnessed the strange man entering their house and how he was arrested. Mr. and Mrs. Green listened attentively, with a mixture of surprise and gratitude on their faces. Mrs. Green hugged Kevin, thanking him for his bravery. Mr. Green, however, looked thoughtful. He asked Kevin to describe the man in detail and then revealed that the man was indeed his younger brother, who had come to retrieve a watch their father had left behind. Kevin's eyes widened in shock.
Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. On the way, Mr. Green explained that the watch was a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. At the police station, they explained the situation to the officers, who were surprised but understanding. The man, who had been released after his identity was verified, was waiting outside. He smiled weakly at Kevin, who felt a mix of embarrassment and relief. Mr. Green handed over the watch to his brother with a pat on the back, and they all agreed to keep in touch. Kevin learned an important lesson that day: always verify the facts before taking action, but never hesitate to help those in need.
【解析】
【导语】本文人物为线索展开,讲述Kevin在父母不在家时,看到一男子闯入格林夫妇家,他报警并阻止男子,男子被捕后他怀疑自己是否做对。
【详解】1. 段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“凯文和格林先生带着他们找到的手表去了警察局。”可知,第二段可描述第二段可描写Kevin和Mr. Green去警察局解释情况,以及事情解决后他们的感受和Kevin学到的教训。

The storm swallowed the horizon whole. Waves like blackened teeth bit at the broken boat, each crash sending shakes through Marco’s water-filled boots. Salt covered his eyelids, but he kept them narrowly open — to blink was to give in to the dark.
Three days without sleep. The compass lay somewhere at the bottom of this floating coffin, but north meant nothing here between walls of water that rose taller than church towers.
His fingers, blue and sore, still gripped the tiller (舵柄). A child’s hands, the fishermen had laughed when he’d signed on. Sixteen winters didn’t make a man, they said. Let them see him now. Let them watch as he pressed his hip against the rocking wood, taking the sea’s blows like boxer absorbing hits. Every wave that didn’t kill the boat fed his resolve.
No food. No charts. Just the knife at his belt and the stubborn rhythm of his heart pounding “alive, alive, alive” against ribs (肋骨) that ached with each breath,
When the wave came — the mountain, the killer, the thing without mercy — Marco didn’t pray. Prayer required hope, and hope was a currency the sea didn’t honor. Instead, he bent his knees as Old Tomas had taught him. “You don’t fight the water, boy,” the grey-haired sailor had said, tobacco flavouring his words. “You let it think it’s winning until it gets bored.”
The deck disappeared beneath him. Cold knifed into his lungs. For three seconds, he was nothing but a grain of sand in God’s boot.
Then the boat rose to the surface like a dying whale, and Marco was still there. Still holding. Still bleeding. Still being.
He laughed then, a sound torn between madness and victory. The storm hadn’t killed him yet.
And if it hadn’t, it wouldn’t.
4. What does the underlined phrase “this floating coffin” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The sea. B. The boat. C. The compass. D. The boot.
5. What can be inferred about Marco from Paragraph 3?
A. His physical pain discouraged him from operating the boat.
B. His determination grew with each survival challenge.
C. His inexperience was ignored by the fishermen.
D. His youth left him at the mercy of storms.
6. How did Marco survive the killer wave?
A. He followed Tomas’s advice. B. He fought the water directly.
C. He abandoned the tiller. D. He prayed for rescue.
7. Which of the following best reflects Marco’s smallness in the face of nature?
A. Waves like blackened teeth. (Paragraph 1) B. Boxer absorbing hits. (Paragraph 3)
C A grain of sand in God’s boot. (Paragraph 6) D. A dying whale. (Paragraph 7)
C
Human civilization stands on the edge of a new era: the Intelligence Age. Over the coming decades, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) will empower us to achieve what our grandparents regarded magical. This builds upon centuries of progress, where social facilities — not genetic evolution — has enhanced human capabilities. Our ancestors laid the foundation; now, AI offers tools to solve once-unconquerable challenges, extending the “scaffolding of progress (进步的阶梯)” to heights unimaginable before.
The breakthrough lies in deep learning. By discovering algorithms (算法) that analyze complex data patterns, humanity unlocked a self-improving system: the more computational power and data we feed it, the smarter it becomes. This ability explains why AI’s potential is limitless. Soon, personalized AI teams will assist in healthcare, education, and software creation. AI-driven systems may pioneer next-generation innovations, from climate solutions to space colonization.
However, realizing this future demands accessible infrastructure (基础设施).COMPUTE — the engine of AI — must become abundant and affordable through energy investment and chip production. Without public access, AI risks becoming a tool for the wealthy or a cause of conflict. Historically, every technological leap — from the Stone Age to the Industrial Revolution — reshaped societies. The Intelligence Age will be no different. Labor markets will evolve, but human creativity and adaptability will persist. Just as lamplighters of the past couldn’t envision modern careers, tomorrow’s jobs will go beyond today’s definitions.
Challenges exist — moral dilemmas, job replacement, and resource allocation (分配) — yet the benefits outweigh the risks. AI promises shared wealth, raising global living standards. While wealth alone doesn’t guarantee happiness, it provides the means to address pressing issues. By embracing AI wisely, humanity can shift from competing against each other to working together for shared benefits.
The path forward requires firm belief. The Intelligence Age, powered by limitless intelligence and energy, will unlock possibilities as unimaginable to us as smartphones would be to a 19th-century lamplighter. Our task is to ensure that its gifts uplift all.
8. What is the key to AI’s unlimited possibilities?
A. Social progress from past generations. B. Its replacement of human innovation.
C. Advancements in genetic evolution. D. Its capacity for self-enhancement.
9. Why must AI infrastructure be accessible to the public?
A. To bridge the wealth gap. B. To improve the chip quality.
C. To prevent privileged enjoyment by the rich. D. To restrict AI’s influence on global labour markets.
10. What can humans achieve by making good use of AI?
A. Joint win-win efforts. B. Guaranteed global happiness.
C. Equal allocation of resources. D. Resolution of moral dilemmas.
11. What does the text mainly focus on?
A. Analyzing AI’s previous progress. B. Predicting AI’s transforming potential.
C. Warning against over-dependence on AI. D. Criticizing unequal access to AI technology.
D
The urban fruit flies that fly around the apples on your counter have to navigate (导航) a rich visual environment to find that food. Desert fruit flies, not so much. They fly through a mostly empty landscape with fewer predictable barriers to find certain fruit. Nonetheless, it has long been believed that other species of fruit flies navigate and maintain balance the same way as urban fruit flies. But a new study contradicts that belief.
Flying fruit flies have two jobs: to head toward interesting things, and also stay stable during flight. Like humans, vision helps fruit flies move straight and stay stable while navigating toward attractive objects. Looking at interesting things interrupts the vision needed to stay stable.
To study how the two types of fruit flies navigate, the researchers designed a system that let the flies interact with objects while tracking their body and eye movements with a camera. They glued a tiny piece of metal to the fly’s back and connected it to a magnet (磁铁) hanging from the top of a round, drum-like device. Another magnet at the bottom of the drum created a magnetic field that held the metal exactly in position while allowing the fly to move around within the drum. The walls of the drum were covered with LED lights and a computer created different moving shapes in various sizes and directions using the lights. The fly could choose how to interact with these virtual objects. One of the objects was a vertical bar (垂直条形物) that looked like something natural, like a tree. This was designed to test how the fly would use the bar and background to navigate.
The desert flies ignored the background and moved to follow the vertical bar smoothly, while the urban flies only relied on the background to navigate smoothly.Desert and urban flies both made rapid eye movements, called saccades, to follow objects that moved along a continuous path.
Fruit flies are often used in experiments studying visual perception and processing.The finding expands the possibilities for what scientists can learn about vision in humans and can also be used to aid the development of autonomous vehicles.
12. What belief about fruit flies has been held for a long time?
A. They have wonderful hunting skills.
B. They adopt the same navigating strategy.
C. They can adapt to complex environments.
D. They can handle predictable barriers well.
13. What is the fundamental flight challenge described in paragraph 2?
A. Distinguishing food from blocking objects.
B. Processing multiple visual signals at once.
C. Limited visual sharpness in complex settings.
D. Balancing target-tracking with flight stability.
14. Why were LED lights used in the experiment?
A. To effectively observe the stability of fruit flies.
B. To closely monitor the eye movements of fruit flies.
C. To create virtual objects for fruit flies to interact with.
D. To track the movement of fruit flies in the experiment.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Visual Navigation Strategies of Fruit Flies

When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. ____16____ In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.
If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. ____17____ It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings.
____18____ At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. ____19____
Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. ____20____ As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference.
A. It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support.
B. We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad.
C. In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind.
D. This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones.
E. If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact.
F. A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety.
G. After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported.

I still remember the first time I saw a Magic Eye poster. It was at a lively food festival. In the middle of all the ____21____ , there was a simple poster covered in what looked like ____22____ patterns of colors and shapes. People gathered around it, narrowing their eyes, tilting (倾斜) their heads and staring ____23____ . Suddenly, someone shouted,“It’s a dolphin!”
I stared harder, ____24____ to identify it too. A dolphin? All I saw was a mess of colors. The more I ____25____, the more unlikely it was for me to make it out. Then an old man noticed my frustration and whispered, “____26____ your eyes. Just let it come to you.” It sounded strange, but I ____27____ his advice. And suddenly, there it was — a dolphin.That moment taught me that ____28____ will arrive if I stop forcing things.
Life is full of “Magic Eye” moments. We usually ____29____ that sheer (纯粹的) effort will lead to breakthroughs. However, research shows that forcing a specific result and overthinking can ____30____ us to what’s already there. The ancient Chinese called this paradox (悖论) Wu Wei. It’s the art of achieving by ____31____ the natural flow.
This doesn’t mean we dismiss our ____32____ for success. It means we stop being ____33____by outcomes. Like the Magic Eye poster, life reveals its ____34____ when we relax into it. So take a breath, let go of the ____35____, and watch as the hidden picture — the dolphin,the tiger, or the simple beauty of the present moment — emerges before our eyes.

57. 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。
Kevin was pretty bored. His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye.
Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police.
Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands.
The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard.
At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man.
Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home Kevin went to talk to them.
