Virginia “Ginger” Hislop, 105, recently walked the stage at Stanford University to receive her master’s degree in education for the coursework she completed in 1941.
A smiling Hislop rose to an ovation (鼓掌) on June 16 as she received her degree and master’s hood at the university’s Graduate School of Education diploma ceremony while her family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cheered her on.
Hislop, a native of Palo Alto, California, earned her bachelor’s degree in education in 1940 from Stanford’s then-School of Education with the plan of earning a master’s degree so she could begin teaching. She was stimulated for an education career by her grandmother, who was a pre-Civil War educator in Kansas, and her aunt, who served as headmaster of a West Los Angeles school. However, her boyfriend at the time, George Hislop, was called to serve in World War II, so the two got married and Virginia Hislop left Stanford after completing her coursework but before handing in her thesis (论文).
Her decision to put obtaining her master’s degree on hold did not pause her commitment to education. Hislop has served on the Yakima School Board of Directors, is a founding board of directors member of Yakima Community College and served for 20 years on the board of Heritage University in Toppenish, Washington. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she told Stanford University. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.”
“I felt that all the kids should have an opportunity to develop their potential as best they could, and that everybody should have a crack at higher education if they wanted,” Hislop said.
4. What happened to Hislop at Stanford University on June 16?
A. She completed her master’s thesis.
B. She received her master’s degree in education.
C. She was praised for her service in education.
D. She was honored and included in the Hall of Fame.
5. How did World War II impact Hislop’s educational pursuits?
A. It led her to join the military along with her boyfriend.
B. It inspired her to become an advocate for fairness in education.
C. It caused her to move to Washington state for work opportunities.
D. It caused her to delay completing her master’s degree due to marriage.
6. What can be inferred about Hislop’s commitment to education?
A. She was a firm advocate for equal opportunities.
B. She was not involved in education until her late age.
C. She only pursued her master’s degree after retirement.
D. She actively contributed to the education system in Yakima.
7. What is the main idea of the text?

B. The challenges faced by women in education.
C. The importance of pursuing higher education.
D. The recognition of a lifetime of service in education.
C
A global children’s charity art exhibition Small Canvas for the Mind, took place at Haitang Academy in Beijing’s Yuanmingyuan Park from May 10 to 12. This event put the creative works of young artists from around the world on display.
The exhibition featured 40 paintings created by children aged 6 to 16 from various countries and regions, including China, Singapore, Canada, and Hungary. Using art as a universal language, these young artists expressed themes like emotion, personal growth, and mutual understanding. Through their art, they opened a special window for adults to peek into the inner world of children.
The exhibition was the brainchild of two young art enthusiasts who are also active participants in charitable activities — 9-year-old Zhang Yuxiao and 10-year-old Zhang Yucheng. “Sometimes adults fail to understand how kids feel because we’re not good at expressing ourselves,” Yuxiao said. “So, we paint our thoughts. That way, adults can get to know us better. I started this exhibition hoping that adults would understand children’s thoughts more deeply.”
From hundreds of submissions, the keepers carefully chose 40 artworks. These pieces stood out because of their emotional depth and creative power. A special highlight was a device piece. Yucheng worked together with device artist Xu Zhuo’er to create it. The work was inspired by Yucheng’s mother’s favorite animal — the rabbit. Xu explained, “While talking with Yucheng, I could feel her deep love for her mother. She told me many stories about her mom, but also shared that there were some feelings she didn’t express easily.”
“What these children offer is not just artistic inspiration — it’s a brand-new perspective on the world,” Xu said. Psychology educator Wen Hongyang attended the exhibition’s opening ceremony. He stressed the importance of taking care of children’s emotional well-being. “Children’s mental health is the foundation of their lifelong happiness. Art provides a gentle but powerful way for communication without making children feel stressed,” he added.
8. What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?
A. The location and time of the charity art exhibition.
B. The number and origin of young artists at the exhibition.
C. The creative themes of paintings shown at the exhibition.
D. The background and purpose of the Small Canvas for the Mind exhibition.
9. Why did Zhang Yuxiao start the exhibition?
A. To help adults understand children better. B. To collect money for children in need.
C. To show her painting talent to the world. D. To make friends with young artists globally.
10. What does the underlined phrase “the brainchild” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. A kind of artwork. B. An achievement of a child.
C. A person who is good at art. D. A plan or an idea created by someone.
11. What can be inferred from Wen Hongyang’s words?
A. Mental health has little impact on children. B. Children should express their feelings openly.
C. Art plays a key role in children’s mental health. D. Adults should learn art to communicate with children.
D
Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的). Now I find them timely.
This girl had grown up in a time when conversational machines were presented as empathy devices that could understand her. And so it seemed natural to her that other machines would expand the range of conversation. But there is something she may have been too young to understand or like a lot of us, tend to forget when we talk to machines. These robots can perform empathy in a conversation about your friend, your mother, or your child, but they have no experience of any of these relationships. Their conversations about life occupy the realm of the as-if.
In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to criticize empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient. Children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties.
Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy (亲密).
And yet that is the kind of talk that one hears these days. The narrative begins with the idea that compassionate robots would be “better than nothing”, better because there aren’t enough people to teach, love, and tend to people. But that idea quickly shifts into another: robots would be better than almost anything. Unlike people, they would not abandon you or get sick and die. They might not be capable of love, but they won’t break your heart.
From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place. To build the robots, we must first rebuild ourselves as people ready to be their companions.
Being human today is about the struggle to remain genuinely empathetic. Ourselves—to remember why it matters, to remember what we cherish. These days, to be human is to keep one’s mind on the glory that one is.
12. Why does the author mention the 16-year-old girl?
A. To uncover a problem. B. To evaluate a comment.
C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a topic.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Technology unexpectedly advances empathy studies.
B. Psychologists accidentally ignore the needs of children.
C. The criticism of empathy is scientifically valid but poorly timed.
D. The tech industries may benefit from the timing of psychological cycles.
14. Which of the following statements might the author agree with?
A. Technological progress clarifies human values through challenges.
B. Artificial intimacy reflects technological progress yet threatens empathy.
C. Future technologies like AI companions require stricter moral regulations.
D. Technology’s medical benefits justify its application in emotional domains.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Empathy at Risk: Psychology’s New Frontier
B. Faking Intimacy: When Machines Decrease Our Humanity
C. Why Humans Prefer Robots: An Analysis of Social Failure
D. The Rise of Robot Companions: A Technological Revolution
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。
Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____16____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.
Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____17____
Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.
Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____18____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.
____19____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.
In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____20____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.
A. Let yourself feel.
B. Context matters as well.
C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
D. These shape how you stop and interpret.
E. Pay attention to how words flow together.
F. The poem’s background determines the style.
G This is not like unlocking a “secret password”.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mike awoke to the sound of the alarm clock. Normally, this was followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school.
He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colourful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school.
While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Mike planned to present something different — a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class.
Mike sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Mike thought as he left for school.
Mike entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its colour seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Mike hoped.
Throughout the morning, Mike secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its colour a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just.
He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Mike barely managed to replace the lid before the butterfly flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Mike feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark.
As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. “Mike, your presentation’s first today.”
“Sorry sir,” the boy replied, “I forgot all about it.”
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。
The teacher noticed an empty jam jar in Mike’s hand.

Virginia “Ginger” Hislop, 105, recently walked the stage at Stanford University to receive her master’s degree in education for the coursework she completed in 1941.
A smiling Hislop rose to an ovation (鼓掌) on June 16 as she received her degree and master’s hood at the university’s Graduate School of Education diploma ceremony while her family, including her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, cheered her on.
Hislop, a native of Palo Alto, California, earned her bachelor’s degree in education in 1940 from Stanford’s then-School of Education with the plan of earning a master’s degree so she could begin teaching. She was stimulated for an education career by her grandmother, who was a pre-Civil War educator in Kansas, and her aunt, who served as headmaster of a West Los Angeles school. However, her boyfriend at the time, George Hislop, was called to serve in World War II, so the two got married and Virginia Hislop left Stanford after completing her coursework but before handing in her thesis (论文).
Her decision to put obtaining her master’s degree on hold did not pause her commitment to education. Hislop has served on the Yakima School Board of Directors, is a founding board of directors member of Yakima Community College and served for 20 years on the board of Heritage University in Toppenish, Washington. “I think I did good things for our local school system and I helped broaden it out,” she told Stanford University. “For me, this degree is an appreciation of the many years I’ve put in working for the schools in the Yakima area and on different boards.”
“I felt that all the kids should have an opportunity to develop their potential as best they could, and that everybody should have a crack at higher education if they wanted,” Hislop said.
4. What happened to Hislop at Stanford University on June 16?
A. She completed her master’s thesis.
B. She received her master’s degree in education.
C. She was praised for her service in education.
D. She was honored and included in the Hall of Fame.
5. How did World War II impact Hislop’s educational pursuits?
A. It led her to join the military along with her boyfriend.
B. It inspired her to become an advocate for fairness in education.
C. It caused her to move to Washington state for work opportunities.
D. It caused her to delay completing her master’s degree due to marriage.
6. What can be inferred about Hislop’s commitment to education?
A. She was a firm advocate for equal opportunities.
B. She was not involved in education until her late age.
C. She only pursued her master’s degree after retirement.
D. She actively contributed to the education system in Yakima.
7. What is the main idea of the text?

A global children’s charity art exhibition, Small Canvas for the Mind, took place at Haitang Academy in Beijing’s Yuanmingyuan Park from May 10 to 12. This event put the creative works of young artists from around the world on display.
The exhibition featured 40 paintings created by children aged 6 to 16 from various countries and regions, including China, Singapore, Canada, and Hungary. Using art as a universal language, these young artists expressed themes like emotion, personal growth, and mutual understanding. Through their art, they opened a special window for adults to peek into the inner world of children.
The exhibition was the brainchild of two young art enthusiasts who are also active participants in charitable activities — 9-year-old Zhang Yuxiao and 10-year-old Zhang Yucheng. “Sometimes adults fail to understand how kids feel because we’re not good at expressing ourselves,” Yuxiao said. “So, we paint our thoughts. That way, adults can get to know us better. I started this exhibition hoping that adults would understand children’s thoughts more deeply.”
From hundreds of submissions, the keepers carefully chose 40 artworks. These pieces stood out because of their emotional depth and creative power. A special highlight was a device piece. Yucheng worked together with device artist Xu Zhuo’er to create it. The work was inspired by Yucheng’s mother’s favorite animal — the rabbit. Xu explained, “While talking with Yucheng, I could feel her deep love for her mother. She told me many stories about her mom, but also shared that there were some feelings she didn’t express easily.”
“What these children offer is not just artistic inspiration — it’s a brand-new perspective on the world,” Xu said. Psychology educator Wen Hongyang attended the exhibition’s opening ceremony. He stressed the importance of taking care of children’s emotional well-being. “Children’s mental health is the foundation of their lifelong happiness. Art provides a gentle but powerful way for communication without making children feel stressed,” he added.
8. What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?
A. The location and time of the charity art exhibition.
B. The number and origin of young artists at the exhibition.
C. The creative themes of paintings shown at the exhibition.
D. The background and purpose of the Small Canvas for the Mind exhibition.
9. Why did Zhang Yuxiao start the exhibition?
A. To help adults understand children better. B. To collect money for children in need.
C. To show her painting talent to the world. D. To make friends with young artists globally.
10. What does the underlined phrase “the brainchild” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. A kind of artwork. B. An achievement of a child.
C. A person who is good at art. D. A plan or an idea created by someone.
11. What can be inferred from Wen Hongyang’s words?
A. Mental health has little impact on children. B. Children should express their feelings openly.
C. Art plays a key role in children’s mental health. D. Adults should learn art to communicate with children.

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。“心灵小画布”全球儿童慈善艺术展于北京举行,展出多国儿童画作,由两儿童发起,旨在助成人理解儿童。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A global children’s charity art exhibition, Small Canvas for the Mind, took place at Haitang Academy in Beijing’s Yuanmingyuan Park from May 10 to 12. This event put the creative works of young artists from around the world on display.(5月10日至12日,“心灵小画布”全球儿童慈善艺术展在北京圆明园海棠学院举行。此次活动展出了来自世界各地年轻艺术家的创意作品。)”以及第二段“The exhibition featured 40 paintings created by children aged 6 to 16 from various countries and regions, including China, Singapore, Canada, and Hungary.

【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“The exhibition was the brainchild of two young art enthusiasts who are also active participants in charitable activities—9-year-old Zhang Yuxiao and 10-year-old Zhang Yucheng. “Sometimes adults fail to understand how kids feel because we’re not good at expressing ourselves,” Yuxiao said. “So, we paint our thoughts.

I started this exhibition hoping that adults would understand children’s thoughts more deeply.” (此次展览是两位积极参与慈善活动的年轻艺术爱好者的the brainchild——9岁的张予潇和10岁的张予澄。予潇说:“有时候成年人无法理解孩子们的感受,因为我们不善于表达自己。所以,我们画我们的想法。这样,成年人可以更好地了解我们。我开始这个展览,希望成年人能更深入地理解孩子们的想法。”)”可知,展览是由这两位孩子发起的,因此the brainchild指“某人提出的计划或想法”。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Psychology educator Wen Hongyang attended the exhibition’s opening ceremony. He stressed the importance of taking care of children’s emotional well-being. “Children’s mental health is the foundation of their lifelong happiness.

Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的). Now I find them timely.
This girl had grown up in a time when conversational machines were presented as empathy devices that could understand her. And so it seemed natural to her that other machines would expand the range of conversation. But there is something she may have been too young to understand or like a lot of us, tend to forget when we talk to machines. These robots can perform empathy in a conversation about your friend, your mother, or your child, but they have no experience of any of these relationships. Their conversations about life occupy the realm of the as-if.
In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to criticize empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient. Children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties.
Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy (亲密).
And yet that is the kind of talk that one hears these days. The narrative begins with the idea that compassionate robots would be “better than nothing”, better because there aren’t enough people to teach, love, and tend to people. But that idea quickly shifts into another: robots would be better than almost anything. Unlike people, they would not abandon you or get sick and die. They might not be capable of love, but they won’t break your heart.
From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place. To build the robots, we must first rebuild ourselves as people ready to be their companions.
Being human today is about the struggle to remain genuinely empathetic. Ourselves—to remember why it matters, to remember what we cherish. These days, to be human is to keep one’s mind on the glory that one is.
12. Why does the author mention the 16-year-old girl?
A. To uncover a problem. B. To evaluate a comment.
C. To provide an example. D. To introduce a topic.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Technology unexpectedly advances empathy studies.
B. Psychologists accidentally ignore the needs of children.
C. The criticism of empathy is scientifically valid but poorly timed.
D. The tech industries may benefit from the timing of psychological cycles.
14. Which of the following statements might the author agree with?
A. Technological progress clarifies human values through challenges.
B. Artificial intimacy reflects technological progress yet threatens empathy.
C. Future technologies like AI companions require stricter moral regulations.
D. Technology’s medical benefits justify its application in emotional domains.
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Empathy at Risk: Psychology’s New Frontier
B. Faking Intimacy: When Machines Decrease Our Humanity
C Why Humans Prefer Robots: An Analysis of Social Failure
D. The Rise of Robot Companions: A Technological Revolution
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们与机器人建立关系时,机器人表现出的看似亲密但实际是虚假的共情,这种虚假的亲密关系会让人们逐渐忘记作为人类的意义,减少人性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Years ago I spoke with a 16-year-old girl who was considering the idea of having a computer companion in the future, and she described the upside to me. It’s not that the robot she had imagined was so inspiring. It’s that she had already found people to be so disappointing. And now, for the first time, she explained to me, people have options. Back then I thought her comments seemed prescient (预见未来的). Now I find them timely. (几年前,我和一个16岁的女孩聊天,她正在考虑将来有一个电脑伴侣的想法,她向我描述了它的好处。这并不是说她想象中的机器人有多么鼓舞人心。而是她已经发现人们是如此令人失望。现在,她向我解释说,人们第一次有了选择。当时我觉得她的评论似乎很有先见之明。现在我发现它们是及时的)”可知,作者在文章开头提到这个16岁的女孩,描述她成长在对话机器被视为能理解她的共情设备的时代,以及她对机器扩展对话范围的自然看法,从而引出全文的核心议题 —— 人类与人工智能伴侣的关系,以及这种关系对人性(尤其是同理心)的潜在影响所。以作者提到这个女孩主要是为了引出话题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In our manufacturing and marketing of these machines, we encourage children to develop an emotional tie that is sure to lead to an empathetic dead end. On top of this, it has become fashionable for psychologists to critique empathy, a unique form of human connection, just at a time when we are starting relationships with objects with none to give. The coincidence is too convenient: children will lose the ability to have empathy if they relate too consistently with objects that cannot form empathetic ties.(在这些机器的制造和营销过程中,我们鼓励孩子们建立一种情感联系,这种联系很可能会导致一种缺乏共情的僵化状态。此外,心理学家们也开始批评共情这种独特的人类连接方式,而恰恰在这个时候,我们却开始与那些无法形成共情关系的物体建立联系。这种巧合实在是太巧了。如果孩子们总是与那些无法建立共情关系的物体保持紧密联系,他们就会丧失与他人共情的能力)”可知,第三段指出,在人们开始与无共情能力的机器建立关系时,心理学家恰好开始批评人类独特的共情能力。这种“巧合”使得人们更容易接受机器,间接利于科技行业推广相关产品,因此“科技行业可能从心理周期的时机中获益”。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy (亲密). (科技促使我们审视人类的价值。我们可以尝试用技术来治疗帕金森氏症或阿尔茨海默氏症,这将是一种祝福,但这种祝福并不是从人工增强大脑转向人工亲密的理由)”以及第六段中“From better than nothing to better than anything. These are stations on our voyage to forgetting what it means to be human. But the forgetting begins long before we have a robot companion in place; it begins when we even think of putting one in place. (从聊胜于无到无与伦比。这些都是我们在逐渐遗忘“人之为人的意义”这趟旅程中的站点。但这种遗忘早在我们拥有机器人伴侣之前就已开始;它始于我们甚至萌生“要拥有一个机器人伴侣”这个念头的那一刻)”可知,文章提到我们可以利用技术治疗帕金森或老年痴呆症,这是好事;但会让人们逐渐忘记共情,因此人工亲密感反映了技术进步但威胁到了共情。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是最后一段“Being human today is about the struggle to remain genuinely empathetic. Ourselves—to remember why it matters, to remember what we cherish. These days, to be human is to keep one’s mind on the glory that one is.(如今作为人类,就是要努力保持真正的同理心。要铭记其重要性,铭记我们所珍视的东西。如今,作为人类,就是要时刻铭记自己所拥有的美好)”可知,文章主要讨论了人们与机器人建立关系时,机器人表现出的看似亲密但实际是虚假的共情,这种虚假的亲密关系会让人们逐渐忘记作为人类的意义,减少人性。所以B选项“假装亲密:当机器减少我们的人性时”是最佳标题。故选B项。
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。
Appreciating poetry begins with welcoming its unique rhythm and language. Start by reading the poem aloud, allowing its rhythm to reach you emotionally. Poetry is meant to be heard and reciting it can reveal hidden patterns or emotions that silent reading might miss. ____16____ Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.
Notice the structure. Poems aren’t just words on a page. Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization. ____17____
Engage yourself in imagery and metaphor. Poets paint pictures with words, so visualize the scenes they describe. Ask: What senses are engaged? A poem about rain might feel cold and damp. Figurative language like similes and metaphors invites you to explore deeper connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.
Consider the poet’s perspective. Who is speaking? Is it the poet’s voice, a character, or an abstract being? Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention. ____18____ Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.
____19____ Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity — is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.
In short, appreciating poetry is an adventure of discovery. Slow down, listen, and trust your feelings. ____20____ Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.
A. Let yourself feel.
B. Context matters as well.
C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
D. These shape how you stop and interpret.
E. Pay attention to how words flow together.
F. The poem’s background determines the style.
G. This is not like unlocking a “secret password”.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. B 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了欣赏诗歌的方法。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Does the poem speed up or slow down? These shifts often mirror its themes.(这首诗的节奏是加快还是放慢?这些变化往往反映了它的主题)” 可知,引出后文关于诗歌节奏变化的内容,因为单词组合流动的方式决定节奏,节奏变化又反映主题。E选项“注意单词是如何组合在一起流动的” 符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Their form, including rhyme schemes, stanza breaks, and line lengths, contributes to meaning. A tightly structured poem might evoke (唤起) order, while broken lines could reflect chaos. Don’t overlook punctuation (标点) or capitalization.(它们的形式,包括押韵方案、诗节划分和行长,都有助于表达意义。结构严谨的诗歌可能唤起秩序感,而破碎的诗句可能反映混乱。不要忽视标点符号或大写字母)” 可知,承接前文,说明诗歌形式中的元素以及标点产生的影响。D选项“这些决定了你如何停顿和解读” 符合语境,故选D。
【18题详解】
根据上文Understanding the “speaker” can clarify the poem’s intention.(理解 “讲述者” 可以阐明诗歌的意图)” 及“Historical events, personal experiences, or cultural symbols may influence its meaning.(历史事件、个人经历或文化符号可能会影响它的意义)” 可知,承上启下,引出后文关于诗歌背景对其意义产生影响的内容,说明除了理解讲述者,背景对理解诗歌也很关键。B选项“背景也很重要” 符合语境,故选B。
【19题详解】
此空为段落小标题。根据下文“Poetry grows on emotion, and there’s no “correct” interpretation. Your response — whether joy, sorrow, or curiosity—is acceptable. Revisit the poem: meanings often change with each reading. Take down questions it raises, and research unfamiliar references if they interest you.(诗歌基于情感,没有“正确”的解读。你的反应 —— 无论是喜悦、悲伤还是好奇 —— 都是可以接受的。重新审视这首诗:每次阅读,其含义往往会发生变化。记录下它引发的问题,如果感兴趣,研究不熟悉的典故)” 可知,选项强调欣赏诗歌要跟随自己的情感,引出后文关于情感反应及重新审视诗歌等内容。A选项“让自己去感受” 符合语境,作为小标题概括该段内容,故选A。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Rather, it’s about appreciating the interplay of sound, image, and idea that makes poetry timeless.(相反,它是关于欣赏声音、意象和思想的相互作用,使诗歌永恒)” 可知,选项引出后文对欣赏诗歌真正意义的阐述,通过对比说明欣赏诗歌并非追求唯一正确答案,而是感受其各元素的相互作用。故G选项“这不像解开一个“秘密密码”” 符合语境,故选G。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mike awoke to the sound of the alarm clock. Normally, this was followed by feelings of worry about the day ahead. But today was different. Today he couldn’t wait to go to school.
He rushed to his desk and picked up the old jam jar which contained a colourful butterfly. It had taken him hours to catch and now it was going to be part of his biology presentation for school.
While most of his classmates would be showing drawings of insects or animals taken from textbooks, Mike planned to present something different — a live creature. This was sure to get him the highest grade in the class.
Mike sat at his desk admiring the insect’s beautiful red and yellow wings. He had made air holes in the jar’s lid, and added leaves for the butterfly to eat. It might be in a glass prison but at least it was being well cared for, Mike thought as he left for school.
Mike entered the classroom early, and put the jar in his desk. Biology was the first lesson after lunch and he wanted his presentation to be a surprise. After taking the jar from his bag, he noticed the butterfly was very still. Its wings moved very slowly and its colour seemed to have faded too. Probably just a little tired from the trip in the bag, Mike hoped.
Throughout the morning, Mike secretly checked on the insect. Each time it seemed a little stiller, its colour a little duller. Something was wrong. When the lunch-bell rang, he waited for his classmates to leave before opening the jar. The butterfly was still alive, but only just.
He took the jar to the bathroom and sprinkled a few drops of water on the butterfly’s head. The cooling effect was instant. The butterfly came to life again and Mike barely managed to replace the lid before the butterfly flew out. But rather than pleasure, the sight of the revived butterfly crashing against the jar, desperate for freedom, made Mike feel guilty. He was being cruel for a mark.
As he walked back to class, feeling ashamed, the bell went again. It was time for Biology. He walked over to the window, opened the jar and set the butterfly free. A moment later the biology teacher entered. “Mike, your presentation’s first today.”
“Sorry sir,” the boy replied, “I forgot all about it.”
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。
The teacher noticed an empty jam jar in Mike’s hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible Version 1:
The teacher noticed an empty jam jar in Mike’s hand. “What happened to your presentation, Mike?” Mr. Thompson asked, raising an eyebrow. Mike hesitated, then confessed. “I... I set the butterfly free. It wasn’t right to keep it trapped.” To his surprise, the teacher nodded. “Sometimes the best lessons aren’t about grades,” he said, “but about understanding life.”
After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears. Instead of scolding him, Mr. Thompson invited Mike to share his experience with the class. With shaky hands, Mike stood up. “I thought catching a butterfly would make my project special,” he admitted, “but watching it struggle made me realize that we shouldn’t hurt living things just to impress others.” The classroom fell silent, then burst into applause. Later, Mike wrote a new report titled “Respect Over Grades”.
Possible Version 2:
The teacher noticed the empty jar in Mike’s hand. Mike froze, his sweaty hands almost dropping it. He expected a scolding for his failed project, but the teacher smiled gently. “You set the butterfly fre e, didn’t you?” Mike nodded, his face turning red. Instead of getting angry, the teacher patted his shoulder. “This shows you understand something more important than grades,” he said. Mike’s heart pounded —this wasn’t how he imagined the conversation would go.
After hearing what the teacher said, Mike could hardly believe his ears. The teacher’s words gave Mike unexpected courage. Standing before the class, he shared his story simply: “I couldn’t hurt the butterfly for a grade.” To his surprise, classmates nodded thoughtfully. One even said, “That was brave!” Though Mike received no grade that day, he learned a real lesson about respecting life — a truth that would stay with him long after school.
【解析】
