Why? Simply because it’s one of the top winter destinations in Europe. Sitting in northern Finland, Rovaniemi is the gateway to Finland’s famous Lapland — the home of Santa Claus, Rovaniemi is the perfect place to watch the impressive Northern lights, go on a husky ride, or even visit an ice hotel. St. Kitts & Nevis, Caribbean If you’re looking to escape the rain, snow, and grey skies, then St. Kitts and Nevis is one of the top places to go in the winter. This dual-island nation sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It has perfect weather all year round, with temperatures of 25℃ in winter. Apart from lying on the beaches, you can also enjoy the Carnival around Christmas, sailing and snorkelling tours, and historical tours of the islands. Cape Town, South Africa Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most picturesque destinations, with loads of exciting things to do. From visiting the 7th Wonder of Nature, Table Mountain, to surfing the waves of the city’s amazing beaches, there’s something for everyone. Cape Town is only a short drive away from the iconic (标志性的) Cape Winelands, where you can enjoy vineyard and winery tours with wine tasting and food pairings. Lanzarote, Spain With interesting rock formations, volcanoes, and amazing blue waters, Lanzarote is a top choice for many travellers running away from cold European winters. Lanzarote is the most eastern of the Canary Islands. Expect to find black and red earth, white and golden sand beaches and rolling mountains. The average weather stays around the 20℃ mark, so you can work on your tan without worrying too much about sunburn. 1. What can you do in Rovaniemi? A. Watch the Northern lights. B.

The store was known for its wide range of products. One summer holiday, I was busy assisting customers to find what they needed. I always greeted them warmly at the entrance, and customers appreciated it as excellent service. I also assisted them to carry heavy things to their cars, but my parents strictly instructed me not to accept tips or anything else. One day, an elderly lady visited the store. At first sight, I was drawn to her. She was neatly(整洁地) dressed and had a graceful presence, looking polite and friendly. She lived in a senior citizen apartment nearby and wanted to buy some chairs for her garden. After a short search, I found some chairs that met her needs. She bought two chairs and asked if I could help send them to her home just a stone’s throw away. Recognizing her old age, I agreed and carried the chairs to her building. Upon arrival, she welcomed me warmly and showed me where to place the chairs. Before I could thank her for shopping in my parents’ store, she shocked me by placing a handful of candy in my hand. Then, to my amazement, she gave me an educational book. I politely rejected it, explaining that I couldn’t accept any presents. However, she put the book in my hand and said with a smile,” If your parents don’t want you to have this, just don’t tell them. Let me tell them instead.” We both laughed, and I thanked her sincerely. I decided to follow her advice, and she told my parents that she had given me a book as a reward for my hard work. With the book, I learned a lot and started my lifelong love for reading. Reflecting on this experience, I often think of the elderly lady and hope she will live a joyful life surrounded by loved ones forever. Her generosity and humor have left a lasting impression on me. 4. What can we learn about the author from his actions at his parents’ store? A. He was rude and strict. B. He was glad to get tips. C.

I always greeted them warmly at the entrance, and customers appreciated it as excellent service. I also assisted them to carry heavy things to their cars, but my parents strictly instructed me not to accept tips or anything else.(我忙着帮助顾客找到他们需要的东西。我总是在入口处热情地迎接他们，顾客们称赞这是优质的服务。我还帮助他们把沉重的东西搬到他们的车上，但我父母严格要求我不要收小费或其他任何东西)”可知，作者在父母的家具店工作时，不仅热情地迎接顾客，还帮助顾客找东西、搬重物。由此推知，作者工作勤奋、乐于助人。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“At first sight, I was drawn to her. She was neatly (整洁地) dressed and had a graceful presence, looking polite and friendly.(第一眼看到她，我就被她吸引了。她穿着整洁，举止优雅，看起来彬彬有礼且友好)”可知，作者第一次见到这位年长的女士时，觉得她穿着整洁、举止优雅、礼貌友好。由此推知，她给作者的印象是令人愉快的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Before I could thank her for shopping in my parents’ store, she shocked me by placing a handful of candy in my hand. Then, to my amazement, she gave me an educational book.(在我感谢她在我父母的店里购物之前，她把一把糖果放在我手里，这让我很震惊。然后，令我惊讶的是，她给了我一本教育类的书)”以及“I thanked her sincerely.(我真诚地感谢了她)”可知，这位年长的女士给作者糖果和书时，作者先是感到震惊和惊讶，之后又真诚地感谢了她。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者在父母的家具店工作时，帮助一位年长的女士买椅子并送椅子到她家，这位女士给了作者糖果和一本教育类的书作为礼物，这些礼物让作者学到了很多并开始热爱阅读。由此可知，A项Unexpected Gifts(意想不到的礼物)能够很好地概括文章的主要内容。故选A项。 C When young children’s behavior becomes challenging, many parents turn to threats. Many parents threatened to leave an activity or place, or not get snacks. “Discipline (管教) helps young children learn what behaviors are safe and proper and can play an important role in helping them learn the difference between right and wrong,” said Susan Woolford, M. D. “Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.” Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股). “Discipline strategies should be proper for the child’s age and developmental level.” Woolford said. For children aged one to two, distraction (分散注意力) and redirection are often most effective, noting that children this young are exploring their environment and willful misbehavior is quite few. But after age two, children understand their actions can cause a reaction from others and may increasingly test that out. Parents of children aged three to five surveyed were more likely to use warnings, speak firmly, and give timeouts. During these preschool ages, parents should let them know what their misbehavior will lead to. For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior. As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches. “Balancing correction with positive strengthening — like praise and rewards — helps children build self-respect while learning from their mistakes.” Woolford said. 8. What will threatening bring to kids according to Susan Woolford? A. Less belief in parents. B. More improper behaviors. C. Unwillingness to accept gifts. D. Inability to tell right from wrong. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Effective threats to children. B. Situations of discipline strategies. C. Various methods of parenting. D. Reasons for children’s misbehavior. 10. What should parents do with the misbehavior of children aged 3 to 5? A. Reason with them patiently and seriously. B. Reflect on the causes of their mistakes. C. Forgive them for their childish actions. D. Punish them immediately and properly. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Praise and rewards ensure self-respect. B. Disciplining children is a flexible process. C. Parenting becomes easier as children grow. D. Correcting mistakes is a new parenting approach. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要探讨了父母在面对孩子挑战性行为时采取的管教策略，并强调了不同年龄阶段应采用不同的方法，以及及时、适当的反应和灵活调整策略的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.(然而，空洞的威胁会破坏信任，通常不会有效)”可知，Susan Woolford认为威胁会破坏孩子对父母的信任。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股).(大多数接受调查的父母表示，他们会从几个渠道获取管教策略的信息，比如求助于孩子的另一位父母，与朋友交谈，或者使用育儿书籍、文章和社交媒体。与此同时，不到五分之一的父母与医疗保健提供者讨论过管教问题，八分之一的父母表示他们没有考虑过自己的管教策略。一些接受调查的父母承认，他们使用了专家不推荐的管教策略，五分之二的父母有时会打屁股)”可知，第二段主要描述了父母获取管教策略的来源（如伴侣、朋友、书籍等）及部分父母使用专家不推荐的方法（如打屁股）的情况，整体围绕“管教策略的应用现状”展开。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior.(例如，如果一个孩子因为生气而把饮料扔了，适当的惩罚是让他们清理混乱，而不相关的惩罚将不太有效。反应应该是即时的，这样孩子就能理解与他们的不当行为的联系)”可知，对于3-5岁孩子的错误行为，父母需立即且恰当地惩罚。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches.(随着孩子的成长，他们对各种管教方法的反应不同，所以父母应该调整自己的策略，并对新的方法保持开放的态度)”可知，管教是一个需要灵活调整的过程。故选B。 D Over the last decade, health insurance companies have started using AI algorithms (算法) to decide whether they will pay for treatments your doctor recommends. This is different from the AI doctors use for diagnosis (诊断) in that insurance AI focuses only on coverage and cost. One of the most common examples is with prior authorization. Before your doctor can give you certain care, they must get the insurer’s approval for payment. The AI checks if the treatment is considered medically necessary and covered by your plan. It can limit the amount of care, like how many days you can stay in the hospital after an operation. If the insurance company denies coverage for a treatment your doctor says you need, you’ll face tough choices: appeal the decision (a slow process that rarely works), accept different treatment, or pay the very high cost yourself. Insurers argue these algorithms help make decisions quickly and safely, avoiding unnecessary treatments. However, there is concern that they are often used to delay or deny effective care simply to save money. The systems analyze patient records, but insurers keep exactly how the AI makes its decisions completely secret. This secrecy is especially worrying because if an AI wrongly denies a claim very fast, the patient might get sicker or even die during the long appeal process. Unlike medical AI tools reviewed by government agencies, these algorithms are mostly unregulated. Their inner workings are guarded as trade secrets. While some recent rules require insurers to consider individual patient needs, companies can still largely set their own standards without outside checks. Some places have proposed laws demanding doctor oversight of these algorithms. However, most proposed laws still give insurers too much power to define medical necessity and don’t require independent testing for safety and fairness before the AI is used. Experts argue government oversight is essential. The agency that reviews medical AI could potentially take on this role. In the meantime, government regulators should require independent testing of insurance AI for accuracy and fairness. Efforts to regulate this insurance AI are beginning, but much stronger action is still needed. 12. What is the common use of AI algorithms used by insurance companies? A. Assisting doctors in diagnosing patients. B. Approving the treatment given by doctors. C. Providing care services for some patients. D. Reducing administrative costs for hospitals. 13. How do insurers handle the decision-making process of their AI algorithms? A. They provide some effective solutions. B. They help governments to regulate it. C. They keep it private as trade secrets. D. They require doctors to oversee. 14. What problem was mentioned about the AI algorithms in paragraph 4? A. It lacked regulation in most cases. B. It didn’t work perfectly most of the time. C. It hardly considered patients’ needs. D. It was equipped with different standards. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Regulatory Challenges and Solutions for Medical AI B. The Rise of AI Algorithms in Health Insurance Companies C. Insurance AI Algorithms: Issues and the Need for Regulation D. How AI-Driven Insurance Decisions Affect Patient Choices 【答案】12 B 13. C 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者在文章中介绍了保险公司利用保密性AI算法拒绝赔付必要医疗项目，从而威胁患者的健康。这样的行为亟需政府加强管控。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the most common examples is with prior authorization. Before your doctor can give you certain care, they must get the insurer’s approval for payment. (最常见的一个例子是事先授权。在你的医生给你提供某种治疗之前，他们必须得到保险公司的付款批准)”可知，保险公司使用AI算法的常见用途是在医生给予特定治疗前，批准治疗费用，即批准医生给予的治疗。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The systems analyze patient records, but insurers keep exactly how the AI makes its decisions completely secret. This secrecy is especially worrying because if an AI wrongly denies a claim very fast, the patient might get sicker or even die during the long appeal process.(这些系统分析患者记录，但保险公司对人工智能如何做出决定完全保密。这种保密性尤其令人担忧，因为如果人工智能错误地快速拒绝索赔，患者可能会在漫长的上诉过程中病情加重甚至死亡)”可知，保险公司对AI决策过程完全保密。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Unlike medical AI tools reviewed by government agencies, these algorithms are mostly unregulated. (与政府机构审查的医疗人工智能工具不同，这些算法大多不受监管)”可知，与政府审查的医疗AI工具不同，保险公司使用的这些算法大多不受监管。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the last decade, health insurance companies have started using AI algorithms (算法) to decide whether they will pay for treatments your doctor recommends. (在过去的十年里，医疗保险公司已经开始使用人工智能算法来决定他们是否会为医生推荐的治疗付费)”及全文可知，文章围绕“健康保险公司使用AI算法决定治疗费用承保”这一现象展开，重点讨论了该算法存在的问题，并强调了加强政府监管的必要性。因此，标题需同时涵盖“保险公司AI算法”“存在的问题”“监管需求”三个核心要素。C项准确概括了文章的核心内容：主体是“保险公司AI算法”，核心内容是其“存在的问题”及“监管需求”，与文章主旨完全匹配，适合作最佳标题。故选C。 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。 In some US states, gym class is changing. Many schools are focusing on getting students ready for life after high school. They are looking for ways to leave even the least athletic kids with the will and skills to keep moving. For gym teachers, that means less focus on who is best at a sport. It means less rope climbing and dodgeball(躲避球).___16___ A New Model In one New York school district, there is no “gym” class. ___17___They include dance, self- defense and rock climbing. They include mountain biking, in-line skating, and boating. “We want our kids…, to be active for life,” said Ron Whitcomb. He manages the physical education, or PE, program for the Victor, New York, school district. A US law passed in 2015 increased the importance of health and fitness in education. It also gave more funding(资金) to PE programs. Whitcomb’s program started before that law passed. ___18___Connecticut Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE’s place in their schools. Outside the Gym Tracy Krause teaches PE in Washington State. For a few years she has taken students fly-fishing and rock climbing. ___19___It combines PE, English, and science into one program. “We want kids to leave with a plan for the future,” Krause said. “I think the same needs to be true about their health.” Lifelong Skills In Washington, D. C, all second-graders learn to ride bikes. Fourth- and seventh-graders learn parkour(跑酷). Parkour teaches students to jump, climb and roll in the fastest way they can. Sixth- graders learn how to read a compass. High schoolers swim. ___20___ Teachers hope to keep students liking, not hating, PE. That means finding sports or activities they enjoy. A. They are also cutting back on team sports. B. It means more bike riding and outdoor hikes. C. Other schools are now following his program. D. Instead there is a list of different fitness classes. E. The school district’s goal is to teach lifelong skills. F. She is part of her school’s “Outdoor Academy” program. G. Kids who are not as athletic sometimes hate playing team sports. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. C 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了在美国的一些州，体育课正在改变。许多学校正致力于让学生为高中毕业后的生活做好准备。 【16题详解】 根据前一句“It means less rope climbing and dodgeball.( 这意味着少用绳子攀爬和躲避球)”可知，这里在解释“新式体育课”的课程内容会较少使用绳子攀爬项目和躲避球项目，因此可推知设空应进一步解释会有哪些项目增加。选项B“It means more bike riding and outdoor hikes.( 这意味着更多的骑自行车和户外徒步旅行。)”提及了新增加的课程内容，且句子结构与前一句相呼应且形成对比，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“They include dance, self- defense and rock climbing. They include mountain biking, in-line skating, and boating.( 其中包括舞蹈、自卫和攀岩。它们包括山地自行车、轮滑和划船。)”可知，这里在对“新式体育课”的课程设置进行解释，且设空句应包含“they”含义，即复数名词。选项 D“ Instead there is a list of different fitness classes(取而代之的是一系列不同的健身课程)”可以看作为对该句的总结，且classes对应后文句中的they，符合语境搭配。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Connecticut, Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE’s place in their schools.( 康涅狄格州、佛蒙特州和密歇根州都计划提高体育在学校中的地位。)”可知，该句举例是为了说明其他学校也在效仿前文提及的Whitcom’s program，因此可推知选项C“Other schools are now following his program.( 其他学校也在效仿他的做法。)”符合语境分析。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据后文“It combines PE, English, and science into one program.( 它把体育、英语和科学融为一体。)”可知，后文应是解释了设空句提及的一个项目，既包含体育也包含学术。选项F“She is part of her school’s “Outdoor Academy” program.”提及了项目名称—Outdoor Academy program，符合语境分析。故选F项。 【20题详解】 根据前文内容“In Washington, D. C, all second-graders learn to ride bikes. Fourth- and seventh-graders learn parkour. Parkour teaches students to jump, climb and roll in the fastest way they can. Sixth- graders learn how to read a compass. High schoolers swim.( 在华盛顿特区，所有的二年级学生都学习骑自行车。四年级和七年级学生学习跑酷。跑酷教会学生以最快的速度跳跃、攀爬和翻滚。六年级学生学习如何读指南针。高中生游泳。)”提及教授的技能为ride bikes, parkour, read a compass 和swim，这些技能均为可以受益终生的技能。选项E“The school district’s goal is to teach lifelong skills.( 该学区的目标是教授终身技能。)”概括了前文内容且呼应该部分的小标题“Lifelong Skills”。故选E项。 【点睛】七选五技巧—代词逻辑亦管用 七选五考查上下文之间的衔接，而代词使语篇衔接的重要手段之一，因此解题时要擅长利用这一衔接手段。比如文章第3小题： Whitcomb’s program started before that law passed. ___3___Connecticut, Vermont and Michigan are all planning to improve PE’s place in their schools. 空前一句提及“Whitcomb’s program”，空后句提及了其他学校在努力提高体育课的地位，两句话能够放在同一段落，说明需要衔接，而选项C “Other schools are now following his program.”中的代词短语other schools 即为下文中的their schools；his problem即为前文的Whitcomb’s program。选项C中的代词承前启后，很好地将前后两句衔接。因此本空的答案为C项。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to travel to make myself relaxed.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable Mentions (荣誉奖)”. Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer’s day, the day before a big swim meeting, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meeting tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meeting late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted I should be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew she expected me to take part. As I mounted the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were all here to do just one thing — beat me. All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head, “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 续写要求： 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 match began! I swam harder than I had ever swum before. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The match began!I swam harder than I had ever swum before. After the first turn, I was surprised to find that I had a half-body length lead over other girls. However, they soon sped up and narrowed the gap. Halfway through the race, the girl to my left almost drew level with me, while I already began to feel tired. At that moment, the powerful words of my grandma echoed again in my ears, “Quitters never win and winners never quit.” I waved my arms and legs to keep swimming and used every last bit of strength to swim the last 50 meters. As soon as I touched the wall, I looked the screen, waiting anxiously for the result. It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. I saw my time in the screen but could hardly believe it - mine was at the top of the list! My coach ran to me and hugged me tightly when I got out of the water. Narrow victory as it was, I did win my first real trophy that day. Everything felt like a dream as I stood on the winner's podium, weeping tears of joy. Back at home, I delightedly replaced the “Honorable Mention” on my shelf with the new trophy. “Yes, grandma, you’re right. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者已经参加了五年的游泳比赛，而一直获得“荣誉奖”，所以在一次大型游泳比赛前作者决定退出比赛并把这件事告诉了奶奶，奶奶告诉作者放弃者永远不会成功，成功者永远不会放弃，于是作者去参加了比赛，但是到达赛场很晚，所以只能和年龄大的孩子一起比赛，面对那些大孩子，作者显然有些紧张，但是想起了奶奶的话。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛开始了!我比以前游得更努力了。”可知，第一段可描写作者努力游泳，最终完成比赛的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，我听到了周围的掌声和欢呼声。”可知，第二段可描写作者排在了榜首，获得第一个真正的奖杯并且觉得奶奶的话是对的。 2.续写线索：游泳半路被赶上——感到很累——奶奶的话响起——完成比赛——焦急等待结果——获得第一个奖杯——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.加速：speed up/ accelerate ②.拥抱：hug/hold in one’s arms ③.代替：replace/take place of 情绪类 ①.惊讶的：surprised /amazed ②.高兴地：happily/ delightedly 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

B When I was a teenage boy, I helped out at my parents’ furniture store in a charming New England town. The store was known for its wide range of products. One summer holiday, I was busy assisting customers to find what they needed. I always greeted them warmly at the entrance, and customers appreciated it as excellent service. I also assisted them to carry heavy things to their cars, but my parents strictly instructed me not to accept tips or anything else. One day, an elderly lady visited the store. At first sight, I was drawn to her. She was neatly(整洁地) dressed and had a graceful presence, looking polite and friendly. She lived in a senior citizen apartment nearby and wanted to buy some chairs for her garden. After a short search, I found some chairs that met her needs. She bought two chairs and asked if I could help send them to her home just a stone’s throw away. Recognizing her old age, I agreed and carried the chairs to her building. Upon arrival, she welcomed me warmly and showed me where to place the chairs. Before I could thank her for shopping in my parents’ store, she shocked me by placing a handful of candy in my hand. Then, to my amazement, she gave me an educational book. I politely rejected it, explaining that I couldn’t accept any presents. However, she put the book in my hand and said with a smile,” If your parents don’t want you to have this, just don’t tell them. Let me tell them instead.” We both laughed, and I thanked her sincerely. I decided to follow her advice, and she told my parents that she had given me a book as a reward for my hard work. With the book, I learned a lot and started my lifelong love for reading. Reflecting on this experience, I often think of the elderly lady and hope she will live a joyful life surrounded by loved ones forever. Her generosity and humor have left a lasting impression on me. 4. What can we learn about the author from his actions at his parents’ store? A. He was rude and strict. B. He was glad to get tips. C. He was afraid to greet customers. D. He was hard-working and helpful. 5. What was the elderly lady like when the author first saw her? A. Demanding. B. Pleasant. C. Indifferent. D. Wealthy. 6. How did the author feel about the presents from the elderly lady? A. Proud and ambitious. B. Scared and desperate. C. Confused and worried. D. Grateful and surprised. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Unexpected Gifts B. A Strict Customer C. Lessons from a Job D. Life at a Furniture Store C When young children’s behavior becomes challenging, many parents turn to threats. Many parents threatened to leave an activity or place, or not get snacks. “Discipline (管教) helps young children learn what behaviors are safe and proper and can play an important role in helping them learn the difference between right and wrong,” said Susan Woolford, M. D. “Empty threats, however, destroy trust and aren’t usually effective.” Most parents surveyed reported getting input about discipline strategies from several sources, turning to the child’s other parent, talking with friends or using parenting books, articles and social media. Meanwhile, less than a fifth of parents have discussed discipline with a healthcare provider and one in eight parents say they haven’t thought about their discipline strategies. Some parents surveyed admitted using discipline strategies that aren’t recommended by experts, with two in five sometimes spanking (打屁股). “Discipline strategies should be proper for the child’s age and developmental level.” Woolford said. For children aged one to two, distraction (分散注意力) and redirection are often most effective, noting that children this young are exploring their environment and willful misbehavior is quite few. But after age two, children understand their actions can cause a reaction from others and may increasingly test that out. Parents of children aged three to five surveyed were more likely to use warnings, speak firmly, and give timeouts. During these preschool ages, parents should let them know what their misbehavior will lead to. For instance, if a child throws a drink out of anger, a proper punishment would be to have them clean up the mess while an unrelated punishment will be less effective. Reactions should be immediate, so the child understands the connection with their misbehavior. As children grow, they respond differently to various discipline methods, so parents should adapt their strategies and stay open to new approaches. “Balancing correction with positive strengthening — like praise and rewards — helps children build self-respect while learning from their mistakes.” Woolford said. 8. What will threatening bring to kids according to Susan Woolford? A. Less belief in parents. B. More improper behaviors. C. Unwillingness to accept gifts. D. Inability to tell right from wrong. 9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Effective threats to children. B. Situations of discipline strategies. C. Various methods of parenting. D. Reasons for children’s misbehavior. 10. What should parents do with the misbehavior of children aged 3 to 5? A Reason with them patiently and seriously. B. Reflect on the causes of their mistakes. C. Forgive them for their childish actions. D. Punish them immediately and properly. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Praise and rewards ensure self-respect. B. Disciplining children is a flexible process. C. Parenting becomes easier as children grow. D. Correcting mistakes is a new parenting approach. D Over the last decade, health insurance companies have started using AI algorithms (算法) to decide whether they will pay for treatments your doctor recommends. This is different from the AI doctors use for diagnosis (诊断) in that insurance AI focuses only on coverage and cost. One of the most common examples is with prior authorization. Before your doctor can give you certain care, they must get the insurer’s approval for payment. The AI checks if the treatment is considered medically necessary and covered by your plan. It can limit the amount of care, like how many days you can stay in the hospital after an operation. If the insurance company denies coverage for a treatment your doctor says you need, you’ll face tough choices: appeal the decision (a slow process that rarely works), accept different treatment, or pay the very high cost yourself. Insurers argue these algorithms help make decisions quickly and safely, avoiding unnecessary treatments. However, there is concern that they are often used to delay or deny effective care simply to save money. The systems analyze patient records, but insurers keep exactly how the AI makes its decisions completely secret. This secrecy is especially worrying because if an AI wrongly denies a claim very fast, the patient might get sicker or even die during the long appeal process. Unlike medical AI tools reviewed by government agencies these algorithms are mostly unregulated. Their inner workings are guarded as trade secrets. While some recent rules require insurers to consider individual patient needs, companies can still largely set their own standards without outside checks. Some places have proposed laws demanding doctor oversight of these algorithms. However, most proposed laws still give insurers too much power to define medical necessity and don’t require independent testing for safety and fairness before the AI is used. Experts argue government oversight is essential. The agency that reviews medical AI could potentially take on this role. In the meantime, government regulators should require independent testing of insurance AI for accuracy and fairness.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable Mentions (荣誉奖)”. Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer’s day, the day before a big swim meeting, I decided to tell my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that meeting tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meeting late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted I should be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew she expected me to take part. As I mounted the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were all here to do just one thing — beat me. All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head, “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 续写要求： 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 match began!
