B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了英国文化协会的"周六开放日"活动，包括活动内容、独家优惠以及免费试听课等信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"attendees do at the Saturday Open House"可定位至第一段。该段明确指出，"...you can learn first-hand about the British Council's teaching methods and curriculum. It is also a chance to meet...academic team。（你可以 firsthand 了解英国文化协会的教学方法和课程，也是一个结识学术团队的机会）"。由此可知，参加者可以在活动中了解到该机构的教学信息。故正确答案为C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"biggest discount"可定位至文章关于优惠的列举部分。文中列出了几种折扣，其中"A 50% discount on English courses (worth over $1,000) with on-the-spot sign-ups（现场报名英语课程可享受50%折扣，价值超过1000美元）"是折扣幅度最大的优惠，前提是"on-the-spot sign-ups（在开放日当天报名）"。故正确答案为D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"qualified for the free trial lessons"可定位至文章第三段。该段首句明确写道："...sign up for the 45-minute to one-hour trial lessons for Nursery 1 to Secondary 3 students。（为幼儿园1年级至中学3年级的学生报名45分钟至1小时的试听课）"。故正确答案为B。 B I put on my headphones and listen to a podcast(播客) or take out a book while I’m on the train. It’s impossible to concentrate on either of these tasks when I hear Irish floating above the seats. It calls out to me. It finds me. I try to catch a glimpse between the seats of who might be speaking—perhaps I know them, or perhaps I don’t. Either way, it catches my attention and makes me happy. I hear teenagers in school uniforms get off, saying goodbye to their friends. “Sldn,” they say, in the most natural way imaginable. It reminded me of my colorful school life a decade ago, though saying goodbye to my school friends like that didn’t seem natural to me when I was in their position. This change, too, makes me happy. Once I get to Dublin city, I’m pulled along in the stream of people heading to work, museums, shops, parks, or no specific destination at all. My destination looks different every time, but it is most often related to practicing the Irish language. Sometimes I go to a conversation circle, an event where people come together in cafés, parks, or universities to practice and speak Irish together. I’m often nervous when I’m going to a circle for the first time, though this fades quickly once I'm there. Each circle looks different in terms of size, location, and ages and backgrounds of the speakers. But I am always greeted with a warm welcome by all. Groups who may have been coming together weekly at the same time and place for years, if not decades, make me feel like a valued member. I am quickly chatting away about my life and asking them about theirs. I am touched by the interest, curiosity, and support that these people—strangers as of an hour ago—show toward me. I take in their views on what is happening in the world and share some of my own. We learn together. 24. What does the underlined part "It finds me" in paragraph 1 refer to? A. I am troubled by the noise. B. I feel comfortable in my seat. C. I am absorbed in the music. D. I pay attention to Irish automatically. 25. How does the author feel when hearing "Sldn" on the train? A. Pleased. B. Strange. C. Nervous. D. Confused. 26. Why does the author change her destinations frequently in the city? A. To seek more job opportunities. B. To follow the teenage students. C. To have a good command of a language. D. To recall her childhood memories. 27. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The newcomers in the circles can be well received. B. The generation gap is bridged through close interactions. C. The citizens of Dublin have great enthusiasm for learning. D. The Irish conversation circles promote professional growth. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在都柏林被爱尔兰语（Irish）所吸引，并通过参加对话圈来学习和练习这门语言的经历，感受到了当地人的热情和友善。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分"It finds me"的上文"when I hear Irish floating above the seats. It calls out to me。（当我听到爱尔兰语在座位上方飘荡时，它在呼唤我）"可知，作者在火车上本在听播客或看书，但爱尔兰语的声音不由自主地吸引了他的注意力，仿佛主动"找到"了他，让他无法专注于手头的事情。故正确答案为D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"Sldn"可定位至第一段后半部分。作者听到青少年用爱尔兰语"Sldn"道别后，紧接着写道："It reminded me of... This change, too, makes me happy。（这让我想起了……这个变化也让我感到高兴）"。因此，作者听到这个词时的感受是愉悦的。故正确答案为A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"change her destinations"可定位至第二段。该段明确写道："My destination looks different every time, but it is most often related to practicing the Irish language。（我的目的地每次看起来都不同，但最常与练习爱尔兰语有关）"。故正确答案为C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据题干定位至最后一段。该段描述了作者参加对话圈的体验。作者提到自己初次参加时会紧张，但"I am always greeted with a warm welcome by all（我总是受到所有人的热烈欢迎）"，并且这些团体让她感觉自己是"a valued member（一个有价值的成员）"。由此可以推断，对话圈里的新成员会受到很好的接待。故正确答案为A。 C Jack Strange, a passionate writer, had dreamed of landing a publishing deal for years. When it finally happened, he was overjoyed. However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that some of his self-published books had been pirated(盗版) and appeared on LibGen, a shadow library that hosts millions of books and papers taken without permission. His works, along with those of many other authors, were being used to train AI systems like Meta's Llama, which raised serious concerns about copyright and compensation(补偿). Llama is a large language model that, like other AI systems such as ChatGPT, uses vast amounts of data to predict and generate text. While tech companies argue that such data is essential for improving AI, many authors, including Jack, believe they should be paid for the use of their intellectual property. Meta claims that the "fair use" of copyrighted materials is crucial for innovation and that the positive impact of generative AI can be felt by all fields of society. But writers feel their works are being exploited(利用) without recognition or payment, especially as AI threatens to replace human creativity in various industries. The issue has sparked a growing movement among authors and creative professionals worldwide. Organizations like the Society of Authors are calling for stronger protection and fair compensation for creators whose work is used to train AI systems. Abie Longstaff, a representative of the Society of Authors, argues that AI is not only taking creative content but also imitating an author's unique style without permission, further reducing the value of their work. "It's about the recognition," Abie says. "We want compensation and transparency(透明度)." Governments are now involved in the debate. The UK government, for example, is exploring policies that would give tech companies automatic access to creative works unless creators choose out. However, many, like Abie, argue that this approach puts the burden on creators rather than companies. For Jack and many others, the rise of AI poses a real threat to their livelihoods and the future of creative industries. 28. What led to Jack’s excitement fading quickly after getting a publishing deal? A. His works were illegally used. B. Negative reviews brought him disturbance. C. Other writers drew inspiration from his works. D. The Society of Authors rejected to protect his copyright. 29. What does Meta say to justify its use of copyrighted materials? A. It has strictly followed copyright laws. B. It will benefit the wider public. C. It has obtained permission from authors. D. It will offer free access to new books. 30. What do many writers probably think of the UK government’s policy? A. Unsystematic. B. Ineffective. C. Transparent. D. Progressive. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The emergence of pirated books worldwide. B. The rising threat of AI to creative industries. C. The impact of LibGen on modern publishing. D. The fight of writers against AI’s unfair practice. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章以作家Jack Strange的经历为切入点，探讨了科技公司未经许可使用作家的作品来训练人工智能系统所引发的版权和报酬问题，以及作家们为此进行的抗争。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"Jack's excitement fading quickly"可定位至第一段。该段提到，Jack在获得出版合约后非常兴奋，但"his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that some of his self-published books had been pirated and appeared on LibGen...were being used to train AI systems...（当发现自己的书被盗版并用于训练AI系统后，他的兴奋感很快就消失了）"。故正确答案为A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"Meta say to justify"可定位至第二段。该段中提到Meta公司的立场："Meta claims that the 'fair use' of copyrighted materials is crucial for innovation and that the positive impact of generative AI can be felt by all fields of society。（Meta声称，对版权材料的'合理使用'对创新至关重要，并且生成式AI的积极影响可以让社会各个领域感受到）"。即，Meta认为其行为最终会使公众受益。故正确答案为B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据题干关键词"UK government's policy"可定位至最后一段。该段提到，英国政府的政策是"would give tech companies automatic access to creative works unless creators choose out（除非创作者选择退出，否则将自动允许科技公司使用创意作品）"。紧接着，文章指出"many, like Abie, argue that this approach puts the burden on creators rather than companies（许多人认为，这种方法把责任推给了创作者，而不是公司）"。由此可以推断，作家们认为这个政策是无效的，因为它没有真正保护他们的权益，反而增加了他们的负担。 故正确答案为B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章首先通过Jack的例子引出问题：作家的作品被AI公司盗用。接着阐述了AI公司的立场和作家的不满。最后介绍了作家们的抗争以及政府政策的争议。整个文章的核心是作家们对抗AI的不公平行为。故正确答案为D。 D A decline in bird populations is responsible for the change in the natural sounds of spring according to a new study published recently in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers from the University of East Anglia used annual bird monitoring surveys to acces data on bird populations in 200,000 sites. They then used this data to identify the total number birds per species in every selected site during a year and downloaded the calls and songs of each the bird species from Xeno-Canto, the world’s largest database of bird calls. By layering (叠加) the appropriate number of sound files for all species at each location, the scientists were then able to recreate what spring would have sounded like in each of the studied sites over the last 25 years. The results show that springtime has become not only quieter but also more monotonous—the diversity and intensity of birdsong has declined over time. “We can think of birds as nature’ orchestra (管弦乐队),” said Simon Butler, lead author of the study. “And what we’re finding that we’re losing key players and instruments from the orchestra, so the music that they’re generating is becoming poorer.” The reason for this shift, according to Butler, is the rapid decline in bird communities, both in number and variation. This trend is consistent with a climate report from the National Audubon Society, which warn that two-thirds of North American bird species are at the risk of extinction due to rising globe temperatures. “We are on our own to the ‘silent spring’ just like Rachel Carson predicted in 1962. I hope we can stop the decline and do the birds and ourselves a big favor,” said Butler. “In our failure to conserve songbird species, we are changing our experience of the surrounding world,” said Aaron Weed, an ecologist at the National Park Service. “The preservation of nature sounds is an important part of protecting national parks. The unique value is in not just the land but the water that’s there or the mammals or other species that are there for us.” 32. Which of the following is one of the researchers’ approaches? A. Taking advantage of a database. B. Collecting some bird calls on site. C. Carrying out some online surveys. D. Indentifying the living places of bird species. 33. What does the underlined word “monotonous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Dynamic. B. Boring. C. Special. D. Popular. 34. What does Aaron Weed try to illustrate in the last paragraph? A. Joint efforts are needed to maintain biodiversity. B. National parks should focus on protecting the land. C. Protecting natural sounds is key to preserving ecosystems. D. Providing quality service is important for the national park. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Could Birdsong Be a Sign of Spring? B. How Do Birds Adapt to a Changing Climate? C. National Parks’ Efforts to Protect Endangered Songbirds D. Loss of Songbirds Is Shifting People’s Experience of Nature 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项发表在《自然-通讯》上的研究，该研究通过重建过去25年春天的声音，发现由于鸟类数量的减少，春天的声音正变得 quieter 和 more monotonous，并探讨了保护自然声音的重要性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干关键词"researchers' approaches"可定位至第二段。该段详细描述了研究过程，其中一步是"downloaded the calls and songs of each the bird species from Xeno-Canto, the world's largest database of bird calls（从世界上最大的鸟类叫声数据库Xeno-Canto下载了每种鸟类的叫声和歌声）"。这属于利用现有数据库。故正确答案为A。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词"monotonous"所在的上下文"springtime has become not only quieter but also more monotonous—the diversity and intensity of birdsong has declined over time（春天不仅变得更安静，而且更加______——鸟类鸣叫的多样性和强度随着时间的推移已经下降）"。破折号后的内容是对前面"more monotonous"的解释，即"多样性和强度下降"，这意味着声音变得单一、缺乏变化。故正确答案为B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据题干定位至最后一段。生态学家Aaron Weed说："In our failure to conserve songbird species, we are changing our experience of the surrounding world... The preservation of nature sounds is an important part of protecting national parks。（在我们未能保护鸣禽物种的过程中，我们正在改变对周围世界的体验……保护自然声音是保护国家公园的重要组成部分）"。他将保护自然声音提升到保护生态系统体验和整体价值的高度，强调了其关键性。故正确答案为C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章的核心是：鸟类数量减少导致春天的自然声音（主要是鸟鸣）发生变化（更安静、更单调），这种变化进而影响了人类对自然的体验。最后一段通过专家的话再次强调了这种体验改变的影响。故正确答案为D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Public speaking is an important skill that students need to develop. At some point, they will be asked to deliver a speech or a presentation in front of others. 36 As teachers, we can introduce several strategies to help students overcome this fear and become more confident speakers. Allowing students to choose topics they are passionate about can make a big difference. 37 Positive thinking is another powerful tool. Students can remind themselves that they are well-prepared. Hearing encouragement from classmates can further boost their confidence and help them focus on their strengths. 38 By thinking about the knowledge or insights they are sharing with the audience, they can take the pressure off their own performance and see the talk as an opportunity to help others. In addition, good physical preparation matters too. Getting enough rest before a presentation can help students feel more energetic and relaxed. On the day of the presentation, students should engage the audience by asking questions or inviting participation. 39 It is also helpful for students to find friendly faces in the audience to focus on when they feel nervous. Friendly faces provide reassurance and help reduce feelings of stress. After the presentation, it is valuable for students to reflect on their experience. They can think about what strategies worked well and where they can improve next time. Collecting feedback (反馈) from the audience is useful. 40 With practice, students can gradually build confidence and grasp the skills they need to succeed in public speaking. A. They can even ask their classmates to offer positive feedback. B. If familiar with the subject, they will feel much more comfortable. C. Honest comments can highlight strengths and suggest areas for growth. D. However, many may experience significant anxiety when facing audiences. E. Students should avoid talking to others before a presentation to stay focused. F. Teaching students to focus on the audience rather than on themselves also helps. G. This interaction can make the experience more like a conversation than a performance. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. F 39. G 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要针对学生在公众演讲时感到焦虑的问题，为教师和学生提供了一系列克服恐惧、建立自信的策略和方法。 【36题详解】 根据上文"At some point, they will be asked to deliver a speech or a presentation in front of others。（在某个时刻，他们会被要求在他人面前演讲或做展示）"可知，此处引出了公众演讲的情景。空格后紧接着说"As teachers, we can introduce several strategies...（作为老师，我们可以介绍一些策略……）"，这表明空格处需要填入一个能够引出"需要策略"的原因的句子，即描述学生在此情景下遇到的困难。D项"However, many may experience significant anxiety when facing audiences。（然而，许多人在面对观众时可能会感到非常焦虑）"恰好表达了这一困难，与上下文构成"提出问题-解决问题"的逻辑关系。故正确答案为D。 【37题详解】 根据上文"Allowing students to choose topics they are passionate about can make a big difference。（允许学生选择他们热衷的话题可以产生很大的不同）"可知，本段核心是"选择感兴趣的话题"。空格处需要进一步解释为什么选择熟悉的话题有帮助。B项"If familiar with the subject, they will feel much more comfortable。（如果熟悉这个主题，他们会感觉自在得多）"直接说明了原因，其中"familiar with the subject"与上文的"topics they are passionate about"相呼应。故正确答案为B。 【38题详解】 根据下文"By thinking about the knowledge or insights they are sharing with the audience, they can take the pressure off their own performance...（通过思考他们正在与观众分享的知识或见解，他们可以减轻对自己表现的压力……）"可知，本段建议学生将注意力从自身转移到观众和分享内容上。F项"Teaching students to focus on the audience rather than on themselves also helps。（教导学生关注观众而不是他们自己也很有帮助）"完美地概括了本段的中心思想，是主题句。故正确答案为F。 【39题详解】 根据上文"On the day of the presentation, students should engage the audience by asking questions or inviting participation。（在展示当天，学生应该通过提问或邀请参与来吸引观众）"可知，本句建议学生与观众互动。空格处需要说明这种互动带来的好处。G项"This interaction can make the experience more like a conversation than a performance。（这种互动可以使体验更像是一次对话，而不是一场表演）"直接指出了互动带来的积极效果，其中"This interaction"指代上文的"asking questions or inviting participation"。故正确答案为G。 【40题详解】 根据上文"Collecting feedback (反馈) from the audience is useful。（从观众那里收集反馈是有用的）"可知，本句提到了"收集反馈"。空格处需要具体说明反馈的作用。C项"Honest comments can highlight strengths and suggest areas for growth。（真诚的评论可以突出优点并指出需要改进的地方）"详细阐述了反馈的价值，即指出优势和不足，与上文的"useful"形成呼应。故正确答案为C。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I started graduate school, excited to become the scientist I had wanted to be. However, along the way, Graduate Student Guilt kept me from 41 the challenges I was facing. I viewed my research project as mine alone, 42 that its problems were my problems. Any time an experiment failed, I felt 43 . Four years into my Ph. D., I 44 my breaking point. I wanted to quit, but my adviser 45 me to turn to a doctor. My doctor suggested I get out of my 46 . At that moment, I suddenly 47 the only way was to change actions. I told my doctor I 48 rock climbing, which had everything I could want as a (n) 49 graduate student—physical activity, problem solving, and a sense of progression. When I did rock climbing, I felt calm. It was clear that the constant, negative inner voice was 50 . Holding onto the climbing wall by my fingers and toes, using every muscle to stay safe, I was merely 51 what I was doing in that moment rather than years of stress, failure, or depression. I had periods when it felt that no amount of enjoyment would help. But I learned there are steps I could take to make that feeling 52 exercising, reading for enjoyment or socializing. I should allow myself to be a person, rather than a robot that produces 53 . Now, having 54 defended my Ph. D., I understand that research needs failure. But failure doesn’t 55 me. It’s the courage to keep climbing—both on rocks and in life—that truly matters. 41. A. addressing B. avoiding C. presenting D. questioning 42. A. denying B. pretending C. believing D. hoping 43.

For years, she’d run the corner grocery with a sharp eye and an even sharper tongue, blaming teens for pocketing candies and once running after a dog down Main Street with a broom, though rumors (传闻) said she’d slipped the dog a meatball later. “Tough as old leather,” the locals liked to say, shaking their heads. Kids crossed the street to avoid her. Then came the week when the newcomers set up their soap stand at the holiday market. They were a quiet family—father, mother, a small boy with eyes like dark stones—selling bars of rose soap that smelled like distant gardens. The mother spoke broken English; the father’s hands shook when he explained the spices. At first, people hung around, sniffing (闻) cautiously, but few bought. By midweek, their piles of unsold soaps were still high, and the boy’s winter coat looked thin against the wind. At the same time, in the corner grocery, Grace kept an eye on this family. On that Saturday, the family set up their stand as usual. Though many people saw the family’s hardship, there were still plenty of onlookers and few genuine customers. At noon, a little girl appeared. She asked in a bright voice, “Auntie, was this made with magic? My mom says things that smell like roses have magic.” The woman froze for a second, and then broke into a faint smile. She said in broken yet soft English, “Yes… it’s mama’s magic. My mama from my hometown taught me. She grows lots of roses there.” “My grandma is in hospital. I want her to smell the magic. Can you give me a piece of soap?” The woman hesitated at first and then picked up one to give it to the girl. However, the girl’s mother came over, saying, “My daughter is sensitive to additives, so we don’t use things that aren’t the leading brand.” The woman’s face immediately turned red with embarrassment. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Grace appeared. _______________________________________________________ Soon, the soap tower was sold out. ________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Just then, Grace appeared. She picked up a bar of the rose soap, brought it to her nose, and took a deep breath. "Real rose," she declared loudly enough for the gathering onlookers to hear. "None of that chemical nonsense. This is the kind my own grandmother used." She then turned to the embarrassed woman and, in a voice uncharacteristically soft, said, "I'll take ten. My customers have been complaining about the dull selection in my store." This unexpected endorsement from the town's most formidable figure broke the ice. People, curious and reassured, began to step forward, reaching for the soaps and asking questions. Soon, the soap tower was sold out. The family was overwhelmed with gratitude, the boy clutching the money tightly as his mother tried to express thanks through her limited English. Grace simply waved a hand, her usual sharpness returning to her eyes. "Don't mention it. Just make sure you're here next week. My shelves won't stock themselves." But as she turned to leave, a faint smile touched her lips, unnoticed by all. The little boy, now wrapped snugly in a thick new coat bought with the day's earnings, watched her go, no longer seeing a figure to fear, but a guardian in disguise. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物形象转变和情节发展为线索展开，讲述了小镇上一位看似严厉、令人畏惧的杂货店老板Grace，在一个安静的新移民家庭面临困境时，出乎意料地伸出援手，帮助他们的肥皂销售一空，展现了其外冷内热的善良本质。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容"就在这时，Grace出现了。"可知，第一段应详细描写Grace出现后的具体言行。她如何评估肥皂？如何打破尴尬局面？如何利用自己的影响力激发围观者的购买欲？这些行动应体现其果断和智慧，并直接扭转销售局面。 ②由第二段首句内容"很快，肥皂塔就售罄了。"可知，第二段应着重描写售罄后的结果和影响。这包括移民家庭的感激之情、他们处境的变化（如男孩的新外套），以及Grace在帮助他人后其人物形象的微妙转变，暗示她严厉外表下的善良被理解。 2.续写线索：Grace出现——评估并称赞肥皂——大量购买——带动人群——肥皂售罄——家庭感激与处境改善——Grace形象转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 宣称：declare / announce / proclaim 打破僵局：break the ice / break the deadlock 紧握：clutch / grip / hold tightly 表达感谢：express thanks / show gratitude 情绪/特质类 尴尬的：embarrassed / awkward 令人安心的：reassuring / comforting 感激的：grateful / thankful / indebted 严厉的：sharp / stern / formidable 【点睛】 [高分句型1] "This unexpected endorsement from the town's most formidable figure broke the ice."（使用了名词短语作主语，生动地概括了Grace行动的核心作用） [高分句型2] "The little boy, now wrapped snugly in a thick new coat bought with the day's earnings, watched her go, no longer seeing a figure to fear, but a guardian in disguise."（使用了过去分词短语"wrapped..."作状语，现在分词"seeing..."作伴随状语，以及"no longer... but..."的并列结构，细腻地描绘了男孩状态和感知的变化，并点明主题） 听力答案； 1.

It’s impossible to concentrate on either of these tasks when I hear Irish floating above the seats. It calls out to me. It finds me. I try to catch a glimpse between the seats of who might be speaking—perhaps I know them, or perhaps I don’t. Either way, it catches my attention and makes me happy. I hear teenagers in school uniforms get off, saying goodbye to their friends. “Sldn,” they say, in the most natural way imaginable. It reminded me of my colorful school life a decade ago, though saying goodbye to my school friends like that didn’t seem natural to me when I was in their position. This change, too, makes me happy. Once I get to Dublin city, I’m pulled along in the stream of people heading to work, museums, shops, parks, or no specific destination at all. My destination looks different every time, but it is most often related to practicing the Irish language. Sometimes I go to a conversation circle, an event where people come together in cafés, parks, or universities to practice and speak Irish together. I’m often nervous when I’m going to a circle for the first time, though this fades quickly once I'm there. Each circle looks different in terms of size, location, and ages and backgrounds of the speakers. But I am always greeted with a warm welcome by all. Groups who may have been coming together weekly at the same time and place for years, if not decades, make me feel like a valued member. I am quickly chatting away about my life and asking them about theirs. I am touched by the interest, curiosity, and support that these people—strangers as of an hour ago—show toward me. I take in their views on what is happening in the world and share some of my own. We learn together. 24. What does the underlined part "It finds me" in paragraph 1 refer to? A. I am troubled by the noise. B. I feel comfortable in my seat. C. I am absorbed in the music. D. I pay attention to Irish automatically. 25. How does the author feel when hearing "Sldn" on the train? A. Pleased. B. Strange. C. Nervous. D. Confused. 26. Why does the author change her destinations frequently in the city? A. To seek more job opportunities. B. To follow the teenage students. C. To have a good command of a language. D. To recall her childhood memories. 27. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The newcomers in the circles can be well received. B. The generation gap is bridged through close interactions. C. The citizens of Dublin have great enthusiasm for learning. D. The Irish conversation circles promote professional growth. C Jack Strange, a passionate writer, had dreamed of landing a publishing deal for years. When it finally happened, he was overjoyed. However, his excitement was short-lived when he discovered that some of his self-published books had been pirated(盗版) and appeared on LibGen, a shadow library that hosts millions of books and papers taken without permission. His works, along with those of many other authors, were being used to train AI systems like Meta's Llama, which raised serious concerns about copyright and compensation(补偿). Llama is a large language model that, like other AI systems such as ChatGPT, uses vast amounts of data to predict and generate text. While tech companies argue that such data is essential for improving AI, many authors, including Jack, believe they should be paid for the use of their intellectual property. Meta claims that the "fair use" of copyrighted materials is crucial for innovation and that the positive impact of generative AI can be felt by all fields of society. But writers feel their works are being exploited(利用) without recognition or payment, especially as AI threatens to replace human creativity in various industries. The issue has sparked a growing movement among authors and creative professionals worldwide. Organizations like the Society of Authors are calling for stronger protection and fair compensation for creators whose work is used to train AI systems. Abie Longstaff, a representative of the Society of Authors, argues that AI is not only taking creative content but also imitating an author's unique style without permission, further reducing the value of their work. "It's about the recognition," Abie says. "We want compensation and transparency(透明度)." Governments are now involved in the debate. The UK government, for example, is exploring policies that would give tech companies automatic access to creative works unless creators choose out. However, many, like Abie, argue that this approach puts the burden on creators rather than companies.

D A decline in bird populations is responsible for the change in the natural sounds of spring according to a new study published recently in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers from the University of East Anglia used annual bird monitoring surveys to acces data on bird populations in 200,000 sites. They then used this data to identify the total number birds per species in every selected site during a year and downloaded the calls and songs of each the bird species from Xeno-Canto, the world’s largest database of bird calls. By layering (叠加) the appropriate number of sound files for all species at each location, the scientists were then able to recreate what spring would have sounded like in each of the studied sites over the last 25 years. The results show that springtime has become not only quieter but also more monotonous—the diversity and intensity of birdsong has declined over time. “We can think of birds as nature’ orchestra (管弦乐队),” said Simon Butler, lead author of the study. “And what we’re finding that we’re losing key players and instruments from the orchestra, so the music that they’re generating is becoming poorer.” The reason for this shift, according to Butler, is the rapid decline in bird communities, both in number and variation. This trend is consistent with a climate report from the National Audubon Society, which warn that two-thirds of North American bird species are at the risk of extinction due to rising globe temperatures. “We are on our own to the ‘silent spring’ just like Rachel Carson predicted in 1962. I hope we can stop the decline and do the birds and ourselves a big favor,” said Butler. “In our failure to conserve songbird species, we are changing our experience of the surrounding world,” said Aaron Weed, an ecologist at the National Park Service. “The preservation of nature sounds is an important part of protecting national parks. The unique value is in not just the land but the water that’s there or the mammals or other species that are there for us.” 32. Which of the following is one of the researchers’ approaches? A. Taking advantage of a database. B. Collecting some bird calls on site. C. Carrying out some online surveys. D. Indentifying the living places of bird species. 33. What does the underlined word “monotonous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Dynamic. B. Boring. C. Special. D. Popular. 34. What does Aaron Weed try to illustrate in the last paragraph? A. Joint efforts are needed to maintain biodiversity. B. National parks should focus on protecting the land. C. Protecting natural sounds is key to preserving ecosystems. D. Providing quality service is important for the national park. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Could Birdsong Be a Sign of Spring? B. How Do Birds Adapt to a Changing Climate? C. National Parks’ Efforts to Protect Endangered Songbirds D. Loss of Songbirds Is Shifting People’s Experience of Nature 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Public speaking is an important skill that students need to develop. At some point, they will be asked to deliver a speech or a presentation in front of others. 36 As teachers, we can introduce several strategies to help students overcome this fear and become more confident speakers. Allowing students to choose topics they are passionate about can make a big difference. 37 Positive thinking is another powerful tool. Students can remind themselves that they are well-prepared. Hearing encouragement from classmates can further boost their confidence and help them focus on their strengths. 38 By thinking about the knowledge or insights they are sharing with the audience, they can take the pressure off their own performance and see the talk as an opportunity to help others. In addition, good physical preparation matters too. Getting enough rest before a presentation can help students feel more energetic and relaxed. On the day of the presentation, students should engage the audience by asking questions or inviting participation. 39 It is also helpful for students to find friendly faces in the audience to focus on when they feel nervous. Friendly faces provide reassurance and help reduce feelings of stress. After the presentation, it is valuable for students to reflect on their experience. They can think about what strategies worked well and where they can improve next time. Collecting feedback (反馈) from the audience is useful. 40 With practice, students can gradually build confidence and grasp the skills they need to succeed in public speaking. A. They can even ask their classmates to offer positive feedback. B. If familiar with the subject, they will feel much more comfortable. C. Honest comments can highlight strengths and suggest areas for growth. D. However, many may experience significant anxiety when facing audiences. E. Students should avoid talking to others before a presentation to stay focused. F. Teaching students to focus on the audience rather than on themselves also helps. G. This interaction can make the experience more like a conversation than a performance. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I started graduate school, excited to become the scientist I had wanted to be.

I told my doctor I 48 rock climbing, which had everything I could want as a (n) 49 graduate student—physical activity, problem solving, and a sense of progression. When I did rock climbing, I felt calm. It was clear that the constant, negative inner voice was 50 . Holding onto the climbing wall by my fingers and toes, using every muscle to stay safe, I was merely 51 what I was doing in that moment rather than years of stress, failure, or depression. I had periods when it felt that no amount of enjoyment would help. But I learned there are steps I could take to make that feeling 52 exercising, reading for enjoyment or socializing. I should allow myself to be a person, rather than a robot that produces 53 . Now, having 54 defended my Ph. D., I understand that research needs failure. But failure doesn’t 55 me.

For years, she’d run the corner grocery with a sharp eye and an even sharper tongue, blaming teens for pocketing candies and once running after a dog down Main Street with a broom, though rumors (传闻) said she’d slipped the dog a meatball later. “Tough as old leather,” the locals liked to say, shaking their heads. Kids crossed the street to avoid her. Then came the week when the newcomers set up their soap stand at the holiday market. They were a quiet family—father, mother, a small boy with eyes like dark stones—selling bars of rose soap that smelled like distant gardens. The mother spoke broken English; the father’s hands shook when he explained the spices. At first, people hung around, sniffing (闻) cautiously, but few bought. By midweek, their piles of unsold soaps were still high, and the boy’s winter coat looked thin against the wind. At the same time, in the corner grocery, Grace kept an eye on this family. On that Saturday, the family set up their stand as usual. Though many people saw the family’s hardship, there were still plenty of onlookers and few genuine customers. At noon, a little girl appeared. She asked in a bright voice, “Auntie, was this made with magic? My mom says things that smell like roses have magic.” The woman froze for a second, and then broke into a faint smile. She said in broken yet soft English, “Yes… it’s mama’s magic. My mama from my hometown taught me. She grows lots of roses there.” “My grandma is in hospital. I want her to smell the magic. Can you give me a piece of soap?” The woman hesitated at first and then picked up one to give it to the girl. However, the girl’s mother came over, saying, “My daughter is sensitive to additives, so we don’t use things that aren’t the leading brand.” The woman’s face immediately turned red with embarrassment. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, Grace appeared. _________________________________________________________ Soon, the soap tower was sold out. __________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
