Transforming the red spots into blooming flowers, they added green leaves and a vivid blue sky. Their silent teamwork was efficient, turning the ruined drawing into a vibrant garden scene.

The Poetry Pharmacy Situated in Oxford Street, the store sells books and poems as “prescriptions (处方)”. Their books are arranged on shelves covering different needs like “Comfort,” “Words of Love,” and “Calm”. It also has a set of amazing “medicine bottles” filled with capsules containing poetry related to a particular theme, like “Chill pills”, “Joy” and “Social Media Detox”. Visitors can receive poetry pill “prescriptions” based on how they’re feeling. Hatchards Hatchards, the oldest bookstore (Piccadilly) in London, was founded by John Hatchard in 1797, and today, it still stands as an amazing five-story bookshop. It contains most of the titles that any bookworm could possibly want, and even carries newly-signed first editions and special editions of different books. The store delivers nothing but exceptional quality through its collections — even the British royal family buy their books from it. Books for Cooks Lying in Notting Hill, Books for Cooks sells various delicious titles on food, and also has a test kitchen or café at the back of its shop, where customers can try the recipes inside the store’s books, made with care by its chefs. Every day, the team will choose different recipes from among the many books in the shop, cooking and serving them to customers. Daunt Books Established in the 1990s, the bookstore (Marylebone High Street) offers a diverse selection of books that they arrange by country or region, allowing guests to actually go on a worldwide adventure. It’s a space made for the adventurous at heart, allowing readers to discover new voices and experiences from different places. 21．Where is the bookstore providing emotional support through its “prescriptions”? A．In Piccadilly. B．In Oxford Street. C．In Notting Hill. D．In Marylebone High Street. 22．Which bookstore holds the longest history in London? A．Hatchards. B．Books for Cooks. C．Daunt Books. D．The Poetry Pharmacy. 23．What is a feature of Books for Cooks? A．It was founded in 1990. B．It arranges books by title. C．It offers cooking experiences. D．It is known for its famous chefs. B At thirteen, I was in my secondary school. I was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD注意缺陷多动障碍). It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write about it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I got upset. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” one in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts flowed and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others: I just needed a quieter place. Now that Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying.” I was grateful to Mrs. Smith. It was she that made me realize that I didn’t lack anything. I am not different from others. 24．Why did the author fail to finish the reading in class? A．He had poor reading skills. B．He was tired of literature. C．He had ADHD． D．He wanted to take the task home. 25．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A．He was nearsighted. B．He was well­-educated. C．He was poor. D．He was very creative. 26．What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story? A．Angry. B．Impatient. C．Supportive. D．Indifferent. 27．What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. B．Teachers can open up a new world to students. C．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. D．The blind should be treated with respect. C A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state. 28．What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”? A．The rangers’ work is efficient. B．The damage has been done. C．The cleanup takes a long time. D．The pollution has spread widely. 29．What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A．A shift in animal behavior. B．A shortage of food supplies. C．A decline in bacterial species. D．An increase in conflicts between animals. 30．Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A．To praise their benefits to desert life. B．To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C．To stress their significance for photography. D．To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 31．It is conveyed in this passage that we should ________. A．encourage wildlife protection B．leave no trace in the wild C．promote national park tourism D．restore ecological damage D A new study in the journal Scientific Reports finds AI chatbots can imitate famous poets so effectively that they can fool many human readers, and non-experts often can’t reliably distinguish between poems written by William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, T.S. Eliot or ChatGPT-3.5. The researchers conducted two experiments: the first asked participants to determine whether a poem was written by a human or AI, and the second assessed the quality of the poems. In both cases, the AI-generated poems either passed as human-written or even outperformed those by human writers. Participants, who were unaware of the true origins of the poems, rated the AI-generated poems higher on average, considering them more inspiring, meaningful, moving, and profound than the human-authored ones. So, how did this happen? Researchers believe the appeal of AI-generated poems lies in their simplicity and clarity. These poems better convey an image, mood, emotion, or theme to non-expert poetry readers. Consequently, participants might have misunderstood the complexity of human poetry as AI incoherence (不连贯性). Understanding human-authored poetry also requires deep and critical thinking. However, modern readers seem unwilling to engage in this kind of mental labor, preferring texts that offer “instant answers,” writes Andrew Dean, a literary scholar at Deakin University in Australia. Michele Elam, a senior fellow at Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI, raised a key concern about how AI may shape people’s relationships with art. She argued that the issue isn’t whether AI-generated poetry can match or exceed human authenticity (真实性) but that we might lose sight of how art is connected to our lived experiences. “Literature, including poetry, is meaningful because it provides a way of naming and describing our realities,” Elam wrote in an email, “If we only see selected images and language in our social feeds, it could limit our ability to understand the world, remember the past, and imagine the future.” 32．What can we learn from the two experiments? A．Human poems are more creative than AI-generated poems. B．Many participants can distinguish AI-generated poems quickly. C．Only a small number of participants preferred AI-generated poems. D．AI-generated poems won higher praise than human poems on average. 33．Which of the following is a characteristic of AI-generated poems according to the passage? A．They are full of complex language. B．They are simple and clear in expression. C．They are hard to understand for non-experts. D．They demand a lot of critical thinking from readers. 34．The misunderstanding of human-authored poetry as AI-incoherence by participants may be due to ________. A．The inherent defects in human-authored poetry. B．The poor quality of the language used in human-authored poetry. C．The lack of proper education on appreciating poetry among participants. D．The participants’ habit of expecting simplicity, as AI-generated poems provided. 35．Which statement will Michele Elam probably agree with? A．AI is revolutionizing the way we appreciate literary works. B．AI-generated literature has challenged human writers’ abilities. C．AI-generated art helps enhance our understanding of the world. D．AI may lead to a disconnection between art and human experiences. 第二节 (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。 How to Improve Your Memory Memory is an important part of our lives. It helps us learn, work, and interact with others. Here are some tips to improve your memory.​ 1. Get enough sleep​ Sleep plays a crucial role in memory consolidation. When we sleep, our brain processes and stores the information we have learned during the day. 36 Lack of sleep can lead to difficulties in concentration and memory problems. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night.​ 2. Exercise regularly​ Physical exercise not only keeps our body healthy but also benefits our brain. It increases blood flow to the brain, which provides more oxygen and nutrients to the brain cells. 37 Exercise also stimulates the release of certain chemicals in the brain that are involved in memory and learning.​ 3. Eat a balanced diet​ A healthy diet is essential for a healthy brain. Foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, nuts, and leafy greens, can help protect the brain from damage and improve memory. 38 Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish like salmon, are also important for brain health and cognitive function.​ 4. Practice mindfulness​ Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. By practicing mindfulness, 39 you can reduce stress, which is a major factor that can interfere with memory. You can start with a few minutes of mindfulness meditation each day and gradually increase the time.​ 5. Use memory techniques​ There are various memory techniques that you can use to improve your memory. For example, the method of loci involves associating the things you want to remember with specific locations in a familiar place. 40 Another technique is creating mnemonic devices, such as acronyms or rhymes, to help you remember information more easily.​ A．This helps the brain function better and improves memory.​ B．When you are stressed, it’s harder to focus and remember things.​ C．You should avoid eating too much junk food and processed food.​ D．By using these techniques, you can make your memory more efficient.​ E．It is important to create a comfortable sleep environment.​ F．Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, and at a suitable temperature.​ G．So, make sure to get enough sleep every night to boost your memory. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 While boarding the plane, I felt an excitement rise in me.

Every day after school, he would rush home to his favorite spot — a strong oak tree with a swing in the backyard to read. But today was different. He had a secret that made his heart race, but not in the good way. At school, during art class, Oliver accidentally spilled (泼洒) red paint on his friend Mia’s drawing. In panic, he lied, saying the paintbrush slipped. Deep down, he knew he had been careless, and the lie weighed heavily on him. Mia had been so excited about her drawing for the coming school art show. He worried he had ruined it. With a sigh, Oliver decided to take a walk to clear his mind. He wandered down the familiar path to Willow Creek Park. There, he saw Mr. Johnson, a retired headmaster. He had a kind smile that made Oliver feel at ease. “Hello, Oliver,” Mr. Johnson called, waving him over. “What brings you here on this fine day?” Oliver hesitated for a moment but then decided to share his burden. “I told a lie today,” he admitted everything to Mr. Johnson. “Honesty builds trust,” Mr. Johnson advised gently, “while lies create walls between friends.” Oliver listened attentively, worrying that truth might hurt Mia. “Sometimes the truth may hurt, but it also solves the problem and makes things better,” Mr. Johnson added thoughtfully. “If you’re honest with Mia, you can work together to fix the drawing. Remember, friendship grows strong with trust.” Oliver nodded, feeling a spark of hope. Maybe telling the truth wouldn’t be as scary as he thought. The next day at school, the air was filled with excitement as the art show drew closer. Colorful banners decorated the halls, and students hurried to set up their displays. 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: Oliver approached Mia, who was carefully improving her painting. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2: The day of the art show arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
