One evening, I missed the train home and had to walk eight kilometres through a steady rain. Halfway, wet and annoyed, I stopped under a dim street-lamp to 26 the map.

That tiny act did not only spare my phone, but it 28 my faith that had felt grey long before the weather.
I have come to the 29 that goodness is measured less in heroic headlines than in such 30 exchanges. Societies grow hopeless when citizens wait for 31 programs to fix everything, yet remain mean with their own small acts. The umbrella I received was ordinary, but it created a(n) 32 amount of gratitude: I now offer mine more 33 , and friends who once made fun of the 34 have begun to follow suit.
Optimism is not a childish 35 that the storm will end; it is the 36 decision to keep someone else dry while we wait.
The ripple (涟漪) did not stop there. Two weeks later, I 37 a freshman having difficulty with suitcases in the same rain. I naturally lent my umbrella and helped carry her bags uphill. Months afterward she told me she had 38 to tutor needy children, citing that night as the moment she “believed people cared.” Mathematically, one raindrop cannot 39 a flood, yet psychologically one generous drop can weaken a whole pond of 40 .

Gabe and I were taking a road trip to visit friends in Nelson. It was our first trip together after six months of dating. At around 5:30 p.m. , we were driving along a steep winding road through the southern Canadian Rockies. I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see an enormous tree in front of us on the highway. It was being pushed along by a mass of mud that was wolfing everything in its path.
Within seconds, our car was falling 900 feet down the cliffside.
I don’t know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning. His blood was everywhere and my left ankle hurt terribly. But neither of us let the pain stop us. We edged inch by inch. After what seemed a century, we crawled out of the car and considered our options.
Without phone signal, all we could do was yell for help. Incredibly, someone responded. Four bystanders had spotted our car and two of the men helped Gabe shimmy up the hill. Because of my injured foot, the other two had to carry me, with one man grasping me below my armpits and the other holding my legs. They went as far as they could until one of them sank into the mud. They then passed me off to the other two men who’d been helping Gabe. Those men carried me while the unstuck man pulled his partner out of the mud. The second pair carried me until one of them sank into the mud.
By the time we reached the highway, at around 7 p.m., Gabe was in shock. He would be hospitalized for six weeks following several surgeries. I was released ten days after my surgeon reconnected the main artery (动脉) in my left foot. I’ll walk with a limp for the rest of my life, and Gabe permanently lost the vision in his left eye. Otherwise, we’re fine. The experience bonded us as a couple, and we haven’t stopped taking road trips.
45.Why does the author mention “steep winding road” at the beginning?
A.To prove their determination despite risks. B.To express their great passion for road trip.
C.To stress their unawareness of the landslide. D.To show their excitement during the first trip.
46.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The choice we finally made. B.The effort that rescuers made.
C.The dilemma Gabe and I faced. D.The help professionals offered.
47.What impact did the experience have on their life?
A.They became courageous after the experience.
B.The experience made them closely connected.
C.The experience taught them a valuable lesson.
D.It caused their loss of ability to live independently.
48.Which of the following best describes the couple?
A.Brave and positive. B.Faithful and grateful.
C.Caring and optimistic. D.Determined and devoted.
C
This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. How often do we hear these two terms together?
But now SoftBank, a Japanese company, is using AI to create a tool known as SoftVoice. This tool adjusts (调整) the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble.
The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor callers’ voices in real time, detect if they become abusive (辱骂的), and change their tone (语气) of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating.
SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. As an added feature, the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer’s abuse has gone on too long, and play an automated message that says: “We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service.”
Now, as much as this is an artificial intelligence development, it’s also a great example of using AI to increase emotional intelligence. And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful emotions, making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless — and I admit, potentially worrying.
Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. Or imagine people using AI to change the tone of what they say. The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s designed to improve people’s lives.
49.Why does SoftBank develop SoftVoice?
A.To protect employees from angry customers. B.To simplify difficult work.
C.To treat mental problems. D.To comfort customers.
50.What does the underlined word “grating” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Hurried. B.Pleasant. C.Annoying. D.Understandable.
51.How does SoftVoice work?
A.By giving staff advice.
B.By recording conversations.
C.By changing wrong words automatically.
D.By detecting abuse and lessening its effects.
52.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the use of SoftVoice?
A.It will break promises.
B.It will mainly be used in call centers.
C.It may cause potential problems later.
D.It may completely remove customers’ anger.
D
It was the start of the summer holidays, and I was excited to take my seven⁃ year⁃ old son, Felix, to a free activity day at a football club. The children had fitness classes, lunch and a stadium tour — a wonderful opportunity. Felix was thrilled, chatting eagerly to other kids, and I felt the excitement too. But I soon noticed something unsettling. While many children ran around joyfully, others seemed disengaged, giving blank stares. Later, some families arrived late, sat silently and offered no apologies.
Recently, the “Gen Z stare” has gone viral — young people giving vacant (无神的) looks in social settings, often linked to screen use. Yet what worries me more is the “Gen Alpha stare”, where children not only look blank but also neglect basic politeness. At another event, Felix tried to talk to a boy drawing beside him, but every attempt was met with silence. Even at the beach, I saw kids hunched over (伏在) phones instead of enjoying the sea.
Of course, the pandemic (大流行病) harmed children’s social skills; nearly half of parents reported declines. But screens play a huge role too. Three⁃ quarters of five⁃ to seven⁃ year⁃ olds now use tablets, and one⁃ fifth of toddlers (学步的儿童) own smartphones. Adults are hardly better, spending over three hours daily on phones. Studies even warn that when children see parents absorbed in screens, their communication skills can weaken.
That’s why I avoid endless scrolling around Felix and limit his screen time to safe programmes. I also encourage him to greet neighbours, chat with waiters and join conversations. Building trust through small interactions helps him feel secure and connected.
I worry that without such practices, children will grow into lonely adults. Phones and the pandemic may be partly to blame, but parents must now step up — encouraging free play, eye contact and creativity. And when children retreat into silence, we shouldn’t ignore it. After all, it costs nothing to be polite, and the future of our communities depends on it.
53.Why did the author describe Felix’s eagerness at the football club in para. 1?
A.To highlight the value of free activities.
B.To stress the importance of football in childhood.
C.To show Felix was more athletic than other children.
D.To contrast it with other children’s non-participation.
54.What can we know about the “Gen Alpha stare”?
A.It is caused entirely by smartphone addiction.
B.It shows children are tired after pandemic lockdowns.
C.It is simply another popular trend like the “Gen Z stare”.
D.It reflects not just blank looks but declining social manners.
55.What does the author intend to convey by mentioning adults’ screen habits?
A.Adults are also victims of the pandemic.
B.Technology has the same impact on people of all ages.
C.The screen time for adults is different from that for children.
D.Children’s poor communication skills may result from copying adults.
56.What does the author suggest doing in the last two paragraphs?
A.Replacing screen time with academic guidance.
B.Encouraging polite social interaction in daily life.
C.Forbidding children from using devices with screens completely.
D.Organizing more official activity days like the football club day.
第二节(共4小题;每小题2分,共8分)
阅读下面短文和问题,根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求,在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。
Balancing Trees and CO2
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere. But trees only hold onto CO2 as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and life span held strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (微量调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
57.What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to?
58.Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever?
59.Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason. The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.
60.Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2.(about 40 words)

W: Is it?
M: Yeah. Or at least, it is where I’m from. Don’t you have that belief in your hometown?
W: No... At least, I’ve never heard of it in France. Why is it considered bad luck?
M: I’m not sure. But I was just always told not to do it! Most British houses have quite small rooms, so maybe the idea began to avoid breaking things. But here, Americans believe the same thing, but it’s interesting that American houses are usually huge.

First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to interview for this position. I would like to start by telling you a little bit about myself. My name is Jason. I’m now a student at Beijing Jiaotong University, majoring in computer science. I will be graduating in June this year. I’ve studied very hard over the past four years. I have got a basic knowledge of computer science. Every term, we had two or three design courses. I learned a lot from these courses. I also have a great interest in English. Outside of studying, I like playing basketball, chatting with friends, and surfing the Internet. Throughout my college life, I have learned how to keep a balance between studying hard and having fun. I’m honest and confident, and I believe I’m the best person for the role. Thank you for this interview.
二、完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,共15分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
One evening, I missed the train home and had to walk eight kilometres through a steady rain. Halfway, wet and annoyed, I stopped under a dim street-lamp to 26 the map. An elderly man wheeling a bicycle paused beside me, unfolded his 27 and held it silently over my phone for three minutes. After I found the route, he nodded, smiled without a word, and rode off. That tiny act did not only spare my phone, but it 28 my faith that had felt grey long before the weather.
I have come to the 29 that goodness is measured less in heroic headlines than in such 30 exchanges. Societies grow hopeless when citizens wait for 31 programs to fix everything, yet remain mean with their own small acts. The umbrella I received was ordinary, but it created a(n) 32 amount of gratitude: I now offer mine more 33 , and friends who once made fun of the 34 have begun to follow suit.
Optimism is not a childish 35 that the storm will end; it is the 36 decision to keep someone else dry while we wait.
The ripple (涟漪) did not stop there. Two weeks later, I 37 a freshman having difficulty with suitcases in the same rain. I naturally lent my umbrella and helped carry her bags uphill. Months afterward she told me she had 38 to tutor needy children, citing that night as the moment she “believed people cared.” Mathematically, one raindrop cannot 39 a flood, yet psychologically one generous drop can weaken a whole pond of 40 .

B
Gabe and I were taking a road trip to visit friends in Nelson. It was our first trip together after six months of dating. At around 5:30 p.m. , we were driving along a steep winding road through the southern Canadian Rockies. I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see an enormous tree in front of us on the highway. It was being pushed along by a mass of mud that was wolfing everything in its path.
Within seconds, our car was falling 900 feet down the cliffside.
I don’t know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning. His blood was everywhere and my left ankle hurt terribly. But neither of us let the pain stop us. We edged inch by inch. After what seemed a century, we crawled out of the car and considered our options.
Without phone signal, all we could do was yell for help. Incredibly, someone responded. Four bystanders had spotted our car and two of the men helped Gabe shimmy up the hill. Because of my injured foot, the other two had to carry me, with one man grasping me below my armpits and the other holding my legs. They went as far as they could until one of them sank into the mud. They then passed me off to the other two men who’d been helping Gabe. Those men carried me while the unstuck man pulled his partner out of the mud. The second pair carried me until one of them sank into the mud.
By the time we reached the highway, at around 7 p.m., Gabe was in shock. He would be hospitalized for six weeks following several surgeries. I was released ten days after my surgeon reconnected the main artery (动脉) in my left foot. I’ll walk with a limp for the rest of my life, and Gabe permanently lost the vision in his left eye. Otherwise, we’re fine. The experience bonded us as a couple, and we haven’t stopped taking road trips.
45.Why does the author mention “steep winding road” at the beginning?
A.To prove their determination despite risks. B.To express their great passion for road trip.
C.To stress their unawareness of the landslide. D.To show their excitement during the first trip.
46.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The choice we finally made. B.The effort that rescuers made.
C.The dilemma Gabe and I faced. D.The help professionals offered.
47.What impact did the experience have on their life?
A.They became courageous after the experience.
B.The experience made them closely connected.
C.The experience taught them a valuable lesson.
D.It caused their loss of ability to live independently.
48.Which of the following best describes the couple?
A.Brave and positive. B.Faithful and grateful.
C.Caring and optimistic. D.Determined and devoted.
【答案】45.C 46.B 47.B 48.A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和伴侣在公路旅行中遭遇山体滑坡、坠崖,后获救并互相扶持的故事。
45.推理判断题。根据第一段中“At around 5:30 p.m. , we were driving along a steep winding road through the southern Canadian Rockies. I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see an enormous tree in front of us on the highway. It was being pushed along by a mass of mud that was wolfing everything in its path.(下午5点30分左右,我们正驾车行驶在穿越加拿大南部落基山脉的一条陡峭蜿蜒的公路上。我当时正在给母亲发短信,恰巧抬头,及时看到前方公路上有一棵巨大的树。它正被一股裹挟着沿途一切事物的泥浆推着向前移动。)”可知,“陡峭蜿蜒的公路”及作者“发短信”的状态,暗示两人此前未察觉山体滑坡的迹象,为后续突发事故做铺垫,体现他们对滑坡的不知情。故选C。
46.主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Four bystanders had spotted our car and two of the men helped Gabe shimmy up the hill. Because of my injured foot, the other two had to carry me, with one man grasping me below my armpits and the other holding my legs.(四个旁观者发现了我们的车,其中两个人帮助加布爬上了山。因为我的脚受伤了,另外两个人不得不抬着我,一个人抓住我的腋下,另一个人抓住我的腿。)”可知,第四段主要讲述了救援者所做的努力。故选B。
47.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The experience bonded us as a couple, and we haven’t stopped taking road trips.(这段经历让我们这对情侣更加亲密,我们也没有停止公路旅行。)”可知,这段经历让他们更加紧密地联系在一起。故选B。
48.推理判断题。根据第三段中“But neither of us let the pain stop us. We edged inch by inch. After what seemed a century, we crawled out of the car and considered our options.(但我们都没有让疼痛阻止我们。我们一寸一寸地挪动。似乎过了一个世纪,我们才从车里爬出来,考虑我们的选择。)”和最后一段中“The experience bonded us as a couple, and we haven’t stopped taking road trips.(这段经历让我们这对情侣更加亲密,我们也没有停止公路旅行。)”可知,这对情侣是勇敢而积极的。故选A。
C
This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. How often do we hear these two terms together?
But now SoftBank, a Japanese company, is using AI to create a tool known as SoftVoice. This tool adjusts (调整) the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble.
The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor callers’ voices in real time, detect if they become abusive (辱骂的), and change their tone (语气) of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating.
SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. As an added feature, the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer’s abuse has gone on too long, and play an automated message that says: “We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service.”
Now, as much as this is an artificial intelligence development, it’s also a great example of using AI to increase emotional intelligence. And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful emotions, making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless — and I admit, potentially worrying.
Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. Or imagine people using AI to change the tone of what they say. The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s designed to improve people’s lives.
49.Why does SoftBank develop SoftVoice?
A.To protect employees from angry customers. B.To simplify difficult work.
C.To treat mental problems. D.To comfort customers.
50.What does the underlined word “grating” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Hurried. B.Pleasant. C.Annoying. D.Understandable.
51.How does SoftVoice work?
A.By giving staff advice.
B.By recording conversations.
C.By changing wrong words automatically.
D.By detecting abuse and lessening its effects.
52.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the use of SoftVoice?
A.It will break promises.
B.It will mainly be used in call centers.
C.It may cause potential problems later.
D.It may completely remove customers’ anger.
【答案】49.A 50.C 51.D 52.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了日本公司软银公司(SoftBank)开发了一款名为SoftVoice的工具,该工具利用人工智能调整愤怒客户的语音,以减轻呼叫中心员工的工作压力,并探讨了这一技术可能带来的影响和潜在问题。
49.细节理解题。根据第二段中“This tool adjusts (调整) the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble. (这个工具可以调整愤怒客户的语音,这样呼叫中心的员工就可以避免处理麻烦。)”可知,软银开发SoftVoice是为了保护员工免受愤怒客户的困扰。故选A项。
50.词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor callers’ voices in real time, detect if they become abusive (辱骂的), and change their tone (语气) of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. (这款名为SoftVoice的新工具将实时监控来电者的声音,检测他们是否变得辱骂,并改变他们的语气,让员工听起来更舒服。)”以及划线词所在句“SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating. (软银坚持认为,它不会改变客户所说的话,而是会做一些事情,比如降低愤怒的声音,使其不那么grating。)”可知,SoftVoice这款新工具会降低愤怒的声音,使其不那么令人恼火,从而让员工听起来更舒服。由此可知,划线词在此应为 “令人厌烦的,刺耳的”之意,与“Annoying (令人恼火的)”意思接近。故选C项。
51.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor callers’ voices in real time, detect if they become abusive (辱骂的), and change their tone (语气) of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. (这款名为SoftVoice的新工具将实时监控来电者的声音,检测他们是否变得辱骂,并改变他们的语气,让员工听起来更舒服。)”以及第四段中的“SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. (SoftVoice据称不会100%消除愤怒的语气,这样呼叫中心的员工就能客观地知道客户在生气。但它会消除足够的辱骂迹象。)”可知,SoftVoice的工作原理是实时监测呼叫者声音,检测是否存在辱骂行为,并通过调整语气减轻辱骂带来的不良影响。故选D项。
52.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s designed to improve people’s lives. (语气有时决定内容;如果员工对客户的承诺因人工智能而略有改变,公司是否要承担责任?尽管如此,至少听起来它是为了改善人们的生活而设计的。)”可推知,作者认为SoftVoice的使用可能会在以后引起潜在的问题。故选C项。
D
It was the start of the summer holidays, and I was excited to take my seven⁃ year⁃ old son, Felix, to a free activity day at a football club. The children had fitness classes, lunch and a stadium tour — a wonderful opportunity. Felix was thrilled, chatting eagerly to other kids, and I felt the excitement too. But I soon noticed something unsettling. While many children ran around joyfully, others seemed disengaged, giving blank stares. Later, some families arrived late, sat silently and offered no apologies.
Recently, the “Gen Z stare” has gone viral — young people giving vacant (无神的) looks in social settings, often linked to screen use. Yet what worries me more is the “Gen Alpha stare”, where children not only look blank but also neglect basic politeness. At another event, Felix tried to talk to a boy drawing beside him, but every attempt was met with silence. Even at the beach, I saw kids hunched over (伏在) phones instead of enjoying the sea.
Of course, the pandemic (大流行病) harmed children’s social skills; nearly half of parents reported declines. But screens play a huge role too. Three⁃ quarters of five⁃ to seven⁃ year⁃ olds now use tablets, and one⁃ fifth of toddlers (学步的儿童) own smartphones. Adults are hardly better, spending over three hours daily on phones. Studies even warn that when children see parents absorbed in screens, their communication skills can weaken.
That’s why I avoid endless scrolling around Felix and limit his screen time to safe programmes. I also encourage him to greet neighbours, chat with waiters and join conversations. Building trust through small interactions helps him feel secure and connected.
I worry that without such practices, children will grow into lonely adults. Phones and the pandemic may be partly to blame, but parents must now step up — encouraging free play, eye contact and creativity. And when children retreat into silence, we shouldn’t ignore it. After all, it costs nothing to be polite, and the future of our communities depends on it.
53.Why did the author describe Felix’s eagerness at the football club in para. 1?
A.To highlight the value of free activities.
B.To stress the importance of football in childhood.
C.To show Felix was more athletic than other children.
D.To contrast it with other children’s non-participation.
54.What can we know about the “Gen Alpha stare”?
A.It is caused entirely by smartphone addiction.
B.It shows children are tired after pandemic lockdowns.
C.It is simply another popular trend like the “Gen Z stare”.
D.It reflects not just blank looks but declining social manners.
55.What does the author intend to convey by mentioning adults’ screen habits?
A.Adults are also victims of the pandemic.
B.Technology has the same impact on people of all ages.
C.The screen time for adults is different from that for children.
D.Children’s poor communication skills may result from copying adults.
56.What does the author suggest doing in the last two paragraphs?
A.Replacing screen time with academic guidance.
B.Encouraging polite social interaction in daily life.
C.Forbidding children from using devices with screens completely.
D.Organizing more official activity days like the football club day.
【答案】53.D 54.D 55.D 56.B
【导语】这是一篇议论文。本文通过作者带儿子参加足球俱乐部活动的经历,反映疫情与屏幕使用对儿童社交能力的影响,呼吁家长通过限制电子产品、鼓励互动培养孩子的沟通与礼貌习惯,保障其健康成长。
53.推理判断题。作者在第一段先详细描述儿子 Felix 的积极状态:“Felix was thrilled, chatting eagerly to other kids, and I felt the excitement too.(费利克斯非常兴奋,热切地和其他孩子聊天,我也感受到了这份兴奋)”,随后立即用转折词 “But” 引出其他孩子的消极表现:“But I soon noticed something unsettling. While many children ran around joyfully, others seemed disengaged, giving blank stares. Later, some families arrived late, sat silently and offered no apologies.(但我很快注意到一些令人不安的情况。虽然有些孩子开心地跑来跑去,但另一些孩子似乎毫无参与感,眼神空洞。后来,有些家庭迟到了,安静地坐着,也不道歉)”,通过 “Felix 的热切参与”与“其他孩子的不投入、眼神空洞”“家庭迟到无歉意” 形成鲜明对比,突出其他儿童社交参与度低。故选D项。
54.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Yet what worries me more is the “Gen Alpha stare”, where children not only look blank but also neglect basic politeness.(但更让我担心的是“阿尔法世代凝视”——孩子们不仅眼神空洞,还忽视基本礼仪。)”可知,“阿尔法世代凝视”不仅体现为眼神空洞,还反映出社交礼仪的退化。故选D项。
55.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Adults are hardly better, spending over three hours daily on phones. Studies even warn that when children see parents absorbed in screens, their communication skills can weaken.(成年人也好不到哪里去,每天花在手机上的时间超过3小时。研究甚至警告,当孩子看到父母沉迷屏幕时,他们的沟通能力会下降。)”可知,作者提及成年人的屏幕习惯,是为了说明孩子的沟通能力问题可能源于模仿父母。故选D项。
56.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I also encourage him to greet neighbours, chat with waiters and join conversations.(我还鼓励他和邻居打招呼、和服务员聊天、参与对话。)”及最后一段中的“Phones and the pandemic may be partly to blame, but parents must now step up — encouraging free play, eye contact and creativity. And when children retreat into silence, we shouldn't ignore it. After all, it costs nothing to be polite, and the future of our communities depends on it.(手机和疫情或许要承担部分责任,但家长现在必须行动起来 —— 鼓励孩子自由玩耍、进行眼神交流并培养创造力。当孩子陷入沉默时,我们不应视而不见。毕竟,礼貌待人无需任何成本,而我们社区的未来正依赖于此。)”可知,作者建议在日常生活中鼓励孩子进行礼貌的社交互动。故选B项。

Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere. But trees only hold onto CO2 as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and life span held strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (微量调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
57.What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to?
58.Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever?
59.Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason. The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.
60.Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2.(about 40 words)
【答案】57.Planting trees to reduce climate change. /Tree planting is used to reduce climate change./Using tree planting to reduce climate change. 58.Because of the rise of CO2 from burning fossil fuels./Because of the rise of CO2./Because burning fossil fuels leads to the rise of CO2. 59.The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live. Because Berienen and his team found that faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./According to Berienen and his team’s research, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./Because fast-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species. 60.There are many things I can do to help. Firstly, I’ll take a reusable cloth bag and say no to plastic bags while shopping, for it can save energy and reduce pollution. Secondly, when I go somewhere, I’ll choose public transportation instead of private cars to reduce the emission of CO2.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了针对全球气候变暖,树已经不能作为可靠的解决方法。目前最有效的方法是节能减排,降低二氧化碳的排放。
57.词义猜测题。由第一段中的”Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. (植树曾被认为是减少气候变化的有效手段。也许是时候让我们重新思考这种做法了。)”,可知以前可以通过植树来减少气候变化,this practice在此处意为“植树来减少气候变化”。故答案填Planting trees to reduce climate change. /Tree planting is used to reduce climate change./Using tree planting to reduce climate change.
58.细节理解题。由第二段中的“The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. (主要由于燃烧化石燃料的二氧化碳的增加可能推动了这种快速增长,英国利兹大学的森林生态学家Roel Brienen说。他补充说,高水平的二氧化碳会使温度升高,这反过来又加速了这些地区的树木生长。)”可知,是因为燃烧化石燃料产生的二氧化碳的增加,才使世界各地的树木生长得比以往任何时候都快,故答案填Because of the rise of CO2 from burning fossil fuels. /Because of the rise of CO2./Because burning fossil fuels leads to the rise of CO2.
59.细节理解题。“The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.(研究小组发现,树木生长越快,储存二氧化碳的速度就越快,寿命也就越长。)”由第四段中的“They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and lifespan held strong.(他们发现,在几乎所有的栖息地和所有的地点,生长较快的树种比生长较慢的树种死得早,甚至在一个物种内,生长和寿命之间的权衡也很重要。)”,可知Berienen和他的团队发现生长较快的树种比生长较慢的树种死得早,说明生长较快的树种寿命短,因此“the longer lives they live”(寿命也就越长)错了。故答案填The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live. Because Berienen and his team found that faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./According to Berienen and his team’s research, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species./Because fast-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species.
60.开放答题。根据文章大意及自身经历,思考在日常生活中可以做什么来减少二氧化碳的排放,比如利用布袋购物或乘坐公共交通工具来节约能源,减少二氧化碳的排放等,故答案填There are many things I can do to help. Firstly, I’ll take a reusable cloth bag and say no to plastic bags while shopping, for it can save energy and reduce pollution. Secondly, when I go somewhere, I’ll choose public transportation instead of private cars to reduce the emission of CO2.

One evening, I missed the train home and had to walk eight kilometres through a steady rain. Halfway, wet and annoyed, I stopped under a dim street-lamp to 26 the map.

That tiny act did not only spare my phone, but it 28 my faith that had felt grey long before the weather.

Gabe and I were taking a road trip to visit friends in Nelson. It was our first trip together after six months of dating. At around 5:30 p.m. , we were driving along a steep winding road through the southern Canadian Rockies. I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see an enormous tree in front of us on the highway. It was being pushed along by a mass of mud that was wolfing everything in its path.
Within seconds, our car was falling 900 feet down the cliffside.
I don’t know how long we were unconscious, but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning. His blood was everywhere and my left ankle hurt terribly. But neither of us let the pain stop us. We edged inch by inch. After what seemed a century, we crawled out of the car and considered our options.
Without phone signal, all we could do was yell for help. Incredibly, someone responded. Four bystanders had spotted our car and two of the men helped Gabe shimmy up the hill. Because of my injured foot, the other two had to carry me, with one man grasping me below my armpits and the other holding my legs. They went as far as they could until one of them sank into the mud. They then passed me off to the other two men who’d been helping Gabe. Those men carried me while the unstuck man pulled his partner out of the mud. The second pair carried me until one of them sank into the mud.
By the time we reached the highway, at around 7 p.m., Gabe was in shock. He would be hospitalized for six weeks following several surgeries. I was released ten days after my surgeon reconnected the main artery (动脉) in my left foot. I’ll walk with a limp for the rest of my life, and Gabe permanently lost the vision in his left eye. Otherwise, we’re fine. The experience bonded us as a couple, and we haven’t stopped taking road trips.
45.Why does the author mention “steep winding road” at the beginning?
A.To prove their determination despite risks. B.To express their great passion for road trip.
C.To stress their unawareness of the landslide. D.To show their excitement during the first trip.
46.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The choice we finally made. B.The effort that rescuers made.
C.The dilemma Gabe and I faced. D.The help professionals offered.
47.What impact did the experience have on their life?
A.They became courageous after the experience.
B.The experience made them closely connected.
C.The experience taught them a valuable lesson.
D.It caused their loss of ability to live independently.
48.Which of the following best describes the couple?
A.Brave and positive. B.Faithful and grateful.
C.Caring and optimistic. D.Determined and devoted.
C
This is a story about two kinds of intelligence: artificial intelligence and emotional intelligence. How often do we hear these two terms together?
But now SoftBank, a Japanese company, is using AI to create a tool known as SoftVoice. This tool adjusts (调整) the voices of angry customers so that call center employees can avoid dealing with trouble.
The new tool, SoftVoice, will monitor callers’ voices in real time, detect if they become abusive (辱骂的), and change their tone (语气) of voice to make it easier on the employee’s ears. SoftBank insists it won’t change the words that customers say, but instead will do things like lowering an angry voice to make it less grating.
SoftVoice supposedly won’t remove 100 percent of the angry tone, so that call center employees will know objectively that a customer is angry. But it will remove enough to remove any sign of abuse. As an added feature, the SoftVoice AI product will also detect if a customer’s abuse has gone on too long, and play an automated message that says: “We regret to inform you that we are going to discontinue our service.”
Now, as much as this is an artificial intelligence development, it’s also a great example of using AI to increase emotional intelligence. And that’s what this AI product does: remove the expression of other people’s unhelpful emotions, making it easier for employees to do their jobs. The possibilities seem endless — and I admit, potentially worrying.
Imagine a future where many people in the same conversation could use technology like SoftVoice in real time to change each other’s emotions — or even their word choice. Or imagine people using AI to change the tone of what they say. The tone sometimes determines the content; would companies be on the hook (担负责任) for an employee’s AI-driven promise to a customer if it slightly changed the meaning? Still, at least it sounds like it’s designed to improve people’s lives.
49.Why does SoftBank develop SoftVoice?
A.To protect employees from angry customers. B.To simplify difficult work.
C.To treat mental problems. D.To comfort customers.
50.What does the underlined word “grating” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Hurried. B.Pleasant. C.Annoying. D.Understandable.
51.How does SoftVoice work?
A.By giving staff advice.
B.By recording conversations.
C.By changing wrong words automatically.
D.By detecting abuse and lessening its effects.
52.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the use of SoftVoice?
A.It will break promises.
B.It will mainly be used in call centers.
C.It may cause potential problems later.
D.It may completely remove customers’ anger.
D
It was the start of the summer holidays, and I was excited to take my seven⁃ year⁃ old son, Felix, to a free activity day at a football club. The children had fitness classes, lunch and a stadium tour — a wonderful opportunity. Felix was thrilled, chatting eagerly to other kids, and I felt the excitement too. But I soon noticed something unsettling. While many children ran around joyfully, others seemed disengaged, giving blank stares. Later, some families arrived late, sat silently and offered no apologies.
Recently, the “Gen Z stare” has gone viral — young people giving vacant (无神的) looks in social settings, often linked to screen use. Yet what worries me more is the “Gen Alpha stare”, where children not only look blank but also neglect basic politeness. At another event, Felix tried to talk to a boy drawing beside him, but every attempt was met with silence. Even at the beach, I saw kids hunched over (伏在) phones instead of enjoying the sea.
Of course, the pandemic (大流行病) harmed children’s social skills; nearly half of parents reported declines. But screens play a huge role too. Three⁃ quarters of five⁃ to seven⁃ year⁃ olds now use tablets, and one⁃ fifth of toddlers (学步的儿童) own smartphones. Adults are hardly better, spending over three hours daily on phones. Studies even warn that when children see parents absorbed in screens, their communication skills can weaken.
That’s why I avoid endless scrolling around Felix and limit his screen time to safe programmes. I also encourage him to greet neighbours, chat with waiters and join conversations. Building trust through small interactions helps him feel secure and connected.
I worry that without such practices, children will grow into lonely adults. Phones and the pandemic may be partly to blame, but parents must now step up — encouraging free play, eye contact and creativity. And when children retreat into silence, we shouldn’t ignore it. After all, it costs nothing to be polite, and the future of our communities depends on it.
53.Why did the author describe Felix’s eagerness at the football club in para. 1?
A.To highlight the value of free activities.
B.To stress the importance of football in childhood.
C.To show Felix was more athletic than other children.
D.To contrast it with other children’s non-participation.
54.What can we know about the “Gen Alpha stare”?
A.It is caused entirely by smartphone addiction.
B.It shows children are tired after pandemic lockdowns.
C.It is simply another popular trend like the “Gen Z stare”.
D.It reflects not just blank looks but declining social manners.
55.What does the author intend to convey by mentioning adults’ screen habits?
A.Adults are also victims of the pandemic.
B.Technology has the same impact on people of all ages.
C.The screen time for adults is different from that for children.
D.Children’s poor communication skills may result from copying adults.
56.What does the author suggest doing in the last two paragraphs?
A.Replacing screen time with academic guidance.
B.Encouraging polite social interaction in daily life.
C.Forbidding children from using devices with screens completely.
D.Organizing more official activity days like the football club day.

Balancing Trees and CO2
Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of reducing climate change. Perhaps it’s time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere. But trees only hold onto CO2 as long as they’re alive. Once they die, trees decay (腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. The rise of CO2, mainly due to burning fossil fuels, is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen, a forest ecologist at the University of Leeds, UK. High levels of CO2 are increasing temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added.
The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
In order to see whether the growth-lifespan trade-off (生长与寿命之间的权衡) is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 79,000 sites worldwide. They found that, in almost all habitats and all sites, faster-growing tree species died younger than slow-growing species, and even within a species, the trade-off between growth and life span held strong.
The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest and tweaked (微量调整) the growth of the trees in this model. Early on, it showed that “the forest could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees started dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bringing down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.
57.What does “this practice” in Para.1 refer to?
58.Why are trees around the world growing faster than ever?
59.Read the following statement, underline the false part of it and explain the reason. The team has found that the faster trees grow, the faster they store CO2, and the longer lives they live.
60.Please briefly present what you can do in daily life to reduce the emission of CO2.(about 40 words)
