Google Meet Google Meet is an app-to-app calling service that works across desktop and mobile platforms. Video meetings are encrypted (加密), it also supports audio calls, and you can form massive group calls with up to 100 people. What’s more appealing is that Google Meet display s real-time captions (字幕) as the other person is speaking. Signal Signal lets you send and receive texts, make voice and video calls (including group calls), and share your location and files. It was developed with a focus on privacy and security; it uses end-to-end encryption to protect your messages and calls, so only you and the recipient can see or hear what you’re exchanging. Google Voice Google Voice is one of the best ways to make a call over the Internet. You get a real phone number, so you can make free calls to an actual phone number. Free calls you make with Google Voice must be to numbers in the United States or Canada, and they’re limited to three hours. However, you can continue to make a free call to the same number over and over again. WhatsApp Meta-owned WhatsApp is a popular texting app with hundreds of millions of users. However, you can also call your WhatsApp friends right from the app using only your Internet connection. You just need to confirm your phone number to get started. Once you’re using the app, you can start a new conversation to clearly see which of your contacts are also using WhatsApp, and then you can call them for free no matter where in the world they’re located. Group calls can include as many as 32 people. 21. What is a feature of Google Meet? A. You can see what the speaker says. B. It can be used for free anywhere in the world. C. No password is needed to attend online meetings. D. Over 100 people can attend online meetings meantime. 22. Which of the following apps is limited to certain areas? A. Google Meet. B. Signal. C. Google Voice. D. WhatsApp. 23. In what section of a newspaper will the text probably appear? A. Health. B. Environment. C. Education. D. Technology. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23.

(你用谷歌语音拨打的免费电话必须是在美国或加拿大的号码，而且通话时间限制在三个小时以内。)”可知，Google Voice的免费通话功能限制在北美地区，即美国和加拿大。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“You really can make free phone calls using the Internet. (你真的可以用互联网打免费电话。)”可知，本文主要介绍了四款可以利用互联网进行免费通话的应用程序，内容涉及技术产品及其功能，因此最有可能出现在报纸的科技版块。故选D。 B In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 24. What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A. His attention to neighborhood safety. B. The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C. His interest in environmental science. D. The need for an invention competition. 25. How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A. By providing paid STEM education. B. By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C. By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D. By selling invention presentation skills. 26 What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A. Commitment. B. Intelligence. C. Curiosity. D. Leadership. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Damian’s siblings’ inventions are more practical than his. B. The invention process has influenced the whole family’s way of thinking. C. Damian’s father plans to apply his children’s inventions to his business. D. Damian’s siblings only followed his example for the sake of awards. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了12岁的Damian Earley因看到被风吹倒的垃圾桶而受到启发，发明了The Garbage Lot，并获得了奖项，他的发明过程也影响了他的家人和父亲的事业。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立).(2018年，12岁的Damian Earley在遛狗时，注意到垃圾桶被风吹倒，垃圾散落在哥伦布社区的街道上。他对这种环境破坏感到不安，于是受到启发，发明了The Garbage Lot，这是一个带有锁定装置的沉重平台，可以让垃圾桶保持直立。)”可知，是垃圾桶倒下造成的混乱促使Damian创造了The Garbage Lot。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship, which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created.(通过亲自动手的发明竞赛，他学会了向评委“推销”自己的发明。撰写和制作演示文稿有助于提高他的沟通技巧和创业能力，这对于未来的就业市场至关重要，因为学生们可能会从事尚未创造的工作。)”可知，OIL项目通过促进创业思维让学生为未来的工作做好准备。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.”(Damian的老师，尤其是Sarah Priebe，很欣赏他强烈的工作道德。她回忆起Damian在八年级时的出色口头报告：“你可以看出他投入了大量的时间和练习。许多有天赋的学生似乎不需要那么努力就能在学校取得优异成绩，但他总是全神贯注，随时准备着。)”可知，Damian的努力和投入给他的老师留下了深刻印象。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards.

The start-up is sharing the technology, voice engine, with a small group of early testers as it tries to understand the potential dangers. The voice engine technology has the remarkable ability to mimic human voices with astonishing accuracy. By analyzing vast amounts of audio data, it can capture the unique characteristics of different voices, such as pitch, tone, and rhythm. This means that it can generate speech that sounds almost indistinguishable from that of a real person. OpenAI is being cautious with the roll-out of this technology. The company is aware that such powerful voice-recreation technology could be misused. For example, it could be used to create fake audio recordings for malicious purposes, like spreading false information or conducting voice-phishing scams. By starting with a small group of early testers, OpenAI hopes to identify and address these potential risks before making the technology more widely available. In addition to the potential for misuse, there are also ethical questions to consider. As the technology becomes more advanced, it blurs the line between what is real and what is artificial. This raises concerns about how we perceive authenticity in the age of AI. For instance, in the field of journalism, how can we be sure that an audio interview is genuine? And in personal relationships, if someone uses an AI-generated voice to communicate, is it a form of deception? Despite these concerns, the potential applications of the voice engine technology are vast. In the entertainment industry, it could be used to create more immersive experiences, such as in video games where characters’ voices can be generated in real-time based on the player’s actions. It could also assist the visually impaired by providing more natural-sounding voice-over for audiobooks and navigation systems. 28. What is the main feature of OpenAI’s voice engine technology? A. It can analyze audio data quickly. B. It can recreate human voices with high accuracy. C. It can be used for free by early testers D. It can prevent the spread of false information. 29. Why is OpenAI sharing the technology with only a small group of early testers? A. To limit the number of people who can use the technology for free. B. To test the technology’s performance in different situations in advance. C. To find out and deal with the possible problems the technology may cause. D. To collect feedback on the technology’s user-friendliness ahead of time. 30. What ethical questions does the advanced voice-recreation technology raise? A. How to avoid being overdependent on the technology. B. How to protect the privacy of audio data. C. How to ensure the authenticity of audio in different fields. D. How to advocate more people to use the technology. 31. What are the potential applications of the voice engine technology mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Using AI-generated voice to communicate with others. B. Improving the navigation systems for the hearing impaired. C. Spreading false information and conducting voice-phishing scams. D. Helping the entertainment industry and the visually impaired. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了OpenAI推出的能复刻人类声音的AI技术，包括该技术的核心特点、OpenAI对其推广的谨慎态度、涉及的伦理问题以及潜在应用场景。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The voice engine technology has the remarkable ability to mimic human voices with astonishing accuracy.(这款语音引擎技术拥有惊人的能力，能以极高的精确度模仿人类声音)”可知，该技术的主要特点是能高精度复刻人类声音。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“By starting with a small group of early testers, OpenAI hopes to identify and address these potential risks before making the technology more widely available.(通过先向一小群早期测试者开放，OpenAI希望在更广泛推广该技术前，识别并解决这些潜在风险)”可知，OpenAI这么做是为了发现并处理技术可能引发的问题。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This raises concerns about how we perceive authenticity in the age of AI. For instance, in the field of journalism, how can we be sure that an audio interview is genuine?(这引发了人们对AI时代如何看待真实性的担忧。例如，在新闻领域，我们如何确保一段音频采访是真实的？)”可知，该技术引发的伦理问题是如何在不同领域确保音频的真实性。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“In the entertainment industry, it could be used to create more immersive experiences, such as in video games where characters’ voices can be generated in real-time based on the player’s actions. It could also assist the visually impaired by providing more natural-sounding voice-over for audiobooks and navigation systems. (在娱乐行业，它可以用来创造更身临其境的体验，比如在视频游戏中，角色的声音可以根据玩家的动作实时生成。它还可以通过为有声读物和导航系统提供更自然的旁白来帮助视障人士)”可知，该技术的潜在应用包括助力娱乐行业和帮助视障人士。故选D。 D Your fingerprint and the pattern of lines in your eyes are known to be more or less unique to each person, including you, or at least specific enough to be useful for unlocking your phone. Most people rarely think about breathing, but for researchers like Noam Sobel and his colleagues, regular cycle of in and out contains information about the brain. Every time you breathe, sensory neurons (神经元) and other cells that help monitor the environment get activated, and Dr. Sobel and Timna Soroka, a graduate student, wondered whether it would be possible to identify individuals from long-term recordings of their breathing patterns. “We assumed, brains are unique, and therefore breathing patterns would also be unique,” Dr. Sobel said. The study was conducted in 100 people who wore sensors for 24 hours. There’s more to a cycle of breath than just breathing in and breathing out. One person might have a very consistent pause (停顿) just before each breath. Another might pause some of the time and barely at other times. Someone might tend to breathe out very quickly, or sigh more frequently than another. For many people, one nostril (鼻孔) might have a greater flow than the other for some of the day. Neuroscientist Jack Feldman said that before the research was done, he would have considered the idea of a fingerprint-like breathing pattern highly unlikely. But he said the team’s study “provides very convincing data that we have very distinctive breathing patterns. That makes sense, because breathing is closely tied to many processes in the body, each of which might well be unique to individuals.” Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka found that it was possible to link subjects’ body mass index (指数) with features of their breath and that there were potential connections between breathing patterns and subjects’ scores on questionnaires for assessing features related to anxiety, depression or autism. They also wonder whether it might be possible to identify on a more refined level exactly what a healthier pattern of breath looks like, both as a way to identify illness and to explore whether people can be taught ways of breathing that might change their biology. 32. Why did Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka research breath? A To develop new phone unlocking methods. B. To study the brain’s monitoring system. C. To identify individuals from breathing patterns. D. To understand the sensory neurons’ function. 33. What did Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka find in the study? A. People sigh as frequently as each other. B. Breathing cycles are tied to emotions. C. Nostril airflow differs in most people. D. Each person has a unique breath print. 34. What is Jack Feldman’s initial attitude to the study? A. Dismissive. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 35. What is the likely application of this research according to the last paragraph? A. The environmental studies. B. The sensor development. C. The clinical research. D. The athletic performance training. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出呼吸模式或具独特性，Sobel团队对100人开展24小时研究，发现其与BMI、焦虑等相关，还探讨其识别疾病等应用，Feldman起初对此持怀疑。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Every time you breathe, sensory neurons (神经元) and other cells that help monitor the environment get activated, and Dr. Sobel and Timna Soroka, a graduate student, wondered whether it would be possible to identify individuals from long-term recordings of their breathing patterns. “We assumed, brains are unique, and therefore breathing patterns would also be unique,” Dr. Sobel said.(每次你呼吸时，负责监测环境的神经元和其他细胞都会被激活。索贝尔博士和研究生蒂姆纳·索罗卡便思考，是否有可能通过长期记录他们的呼吸模式来识别出个体身份。索贝尔博士说：“我们认为，大脑是独一无二的，因此呼吸模式也会是独一无二的。”)”可知，索贝尔博士和索罗卡女士研究呼吸是为了通过呼吸模式来识别个体身份。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We assumed, brains are unique, and therefore breathing patterns would also be unique(我们认为，大脑是独一无二的，因此呼吸模式也会是独一无二的)”以及最后一段“Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka found that it was possible to link subjects’ body mass index (指数) with features of their breath and that there were potential connections between breathing patterns and subjects’ scores on questionnaires for assessing features related to anxiety, depression or autism.(索贝尔博士和索罗卡女士发现，可以将受试者的体重指数与他们的呼吸特征联系起来，并且呼吸模式与受试者在评估焦虑、抑郁或自闭症相关特征的问卷中的得分之间可能存在关联)”可知，索贝尔博士和索罗卡女士在研究中发现每个人都有独一无二的呼吸特征。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Neuroscientist Jack Feldman said that before the research was done, he would have considered the idea of a fingerprint-like breathing pattern highly unlikely.(神经科学家杰克·费尔德曼表示，在这项研究开展之前，他原本认为那种类似指纹的呼吸模式的可能性极低)”可知，杰克·费尔德曼对这项研究最初持怀疑态度。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They also wonder whether it might be possible to identify on a more refined level exactly what a healthier pattern of breath looks like, both as a way to identify illness and to explore whether people can be taught ways of breathing that might change their biology.(他们还想知道，是否有可能在更精细的层面上明确界定出一种更健康的呼吸模式究竟是什么样子，这样既可以用于诊断疾病，也能探究是否能够教导人们一些呼吸方式，从而改变他们的生理机能)”可知，这项研究可能的应用是临床研究。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。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. ___36___ On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). ___37___ More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断的) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ ___38___ ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. ___39___ The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. ___40___ It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A. Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. B. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. C. It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. D. Comparing our own circumstances with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable path to general well-being. E. Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). F. You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. G. People commonly feel bad about themselves after checking out the lives of others on social media who post only about their victories and celebrations. 【答案】36. E 37. C 38. A 39. B 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了竞争心态对人类幸福感和寿命的影响，通过奥运奖牌获得者的情绪反应和寿命研究，揭示了向上比较和向下比较对人们心理的不同影响，并给出了关于健康竞争的建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. (人类生来就具有相互竞争的天性。网红们比较自己在社交媒体上获得了多少“赞”。百万富翁羡慕亿万富翁。著名演员抱怨本应属于他们的奥斯卡或艾美奖。)”以及下文“On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). (相反，如果不加以管理，它至少会在幸福和长寿方面给自己和他人带来不幸。)”可知，上文描述了人类天生的竞争心态，以及这种心态在不同人群中的表现，下文转折指出竞争心态如果不加以管理会带来不幸，E选项“Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). (尽管竞争精神可能像呼吸空气一样自然，但它并不总是导致人类的繁荣兴盛)”既承接了上文关于竞争心态的描述，又引出了下文关于竞争心态可能带来的不幸的讨论，与上下文逻辑一致。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). (在1995年的一项研究中，学者们研究了1992年夏季奥运会银牌和铜牌获得者的情绪反应。他们观察了奖牌获得者在比赛结束后和后来在领奖台上的情绪反应。)”以及下文“More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. (最近的研究则观察了所有三类奖牌获得者的寿命)”可知，上文描述了一项关于奥运奖牌获得者情绪反应的研究，下文引出了另一项关于奖牌获得者寿命的研究，C选项“It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. (研究发现，铜牌获得者平均比银牌获得者更快乐)”既承接了上文关于奖牌获得者情绪反应的研究，又与下文关于奖牌获得者寿命的研究形成了对比和补充。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“The study had a handy explanation: (这项研究有一个简便的解释：)”以及下文“In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. (换句话说，银牌获得者认为自己是最先失败的人。这是因为他们仰望最高台阶，只与金牌获得者比较，而铜牌获得者则将自己与所有从未登上领奖台的人进行比较，从而对自己感觉良好)”可知，上文引出了研究对奖牌获得者情绪反应和寿命差异的解释，下文详细解释了银牌和铜牌获得者情绪反应差异的原因，A选项“Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. (不满意的竞争结果可能对健康产生负面影响。)”概括了研究对奖牌获得者情绪反应和寿命差异的解释，即不满意的竞争结果可能对健康产生负面影响。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. (这个假设是基于大量文献，这些文献显示了向上社会比较和向下社会比较之间的差异。当我们与那些拥有更多金钱、权力或成就的人比较时，我们常常觉得自己是失败者)”以及下文“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. (每天追求金牌的世俗幸福策略是愚蠢的)”可知，上文介绍了向上社会比较和向下社会比较的概念，以及向上社会比较可能带来的负面影响，下文对追求金牌（即向上社会比较)的策略提出了批评，B选项“In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. (相比之下，向下比较会让人对自己感觉更好，从而更快乐。)”，既承接了上文关于向上社会比较和向下社会比较的讨论，又引出了下文对追求金牌策略的批评，强调了向下社会比较的积极影响。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据上文“The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. (每天追求金牌世俗幸福策略是愚蠢的。更有可能的是，你会大部分时间都感觉自己像是一个银牌获得者。)”以及下文“It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. (因此，更明智的做法是追求健康的竞争，在这种竞争中，你尽自己最大的努力，而不期望成为绝对的赢家。你唯一需要比较的人就是你自己)”可知，上文批评了追求金牌的策略，并指出这种策略可能让人大部分时间都感觉自己像是一个失败者，下文提出了关于健康竞争的建议，F选项“You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. (你可能总是渴望，把你的希望寄托在一个单一的结果上，但最终却以失败和失望告终)”既承接了上文关于追求金牌策略可能带来的负面影响的讨论，又引出了下文关于健康竞争的建议，强调了过度追求单一结果可能带来的失败和失望。故选F项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I told my husband that I wanted to learn the drums (架子鼓).

Despite their efforts, they have not reached a conclusion.

With the rise of AI in education, tools like intelligent question banks or instant Q&A systems can deliver knowledge efficiently. Yet AI will never fully replace teachers. Teachers can pick up on students’ subtle moods—offering a reassuring word when a student feels frustrated after a bad test, which is far warmer than AI’s programmed responses. They also tailor teaching: if a student struggles with visual learning, a teacher might switch to diagrams, while AI still mostly sticks to standard content. More importantly, teachers guide students’ growth beyond textbooks, fostering empathy and responsibility. So AI is just a helpful tool, not a replacement for teachers. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于投稿，要求考生以“Will AI Replace Teachers?”为题写一篇短文，向校英文报投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 有效地：efficiently→with efficiency 代替：replace→take place of 沮丧的：frustrated→depressed 培养：foster→cultivate 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With the rise of AI in education, tools like intelligent question banks or instant Q&A systems can deliver knowledge efficiently. 拓展句：With the rise of AI in education, tools which include intelligent question banks and instant Q&A systems can deliver knowledge efficiently. 【点睛】[高分句型1] Teachers can pick up on students’ subtle moods—offering a reassuring word when a student feels frustrated after a bad test, which is far warmer than AI’s programmed responses.

While handing an ice cream to an old woman at the drive-through window, I noticed that she had a box of what appeared to be purple tomatoes. (If you’ve ever had a drive-through job, you know that it’s hard not to look into someone’s car when you are near from his or her face. ) That’s when I felt the desire coming on. I felt that I was eager to explore what they exactly were. But I just didn’t know how to start my exploration. Would she refuse my curiosity directly or just keep silent, even with a look of disgust? After a struggle in my heart, I decided to encourage myself to grasp the last minute. As I handed her the ice cream, I said, ”Those tomatoes look delicious! What kind are they?” She smiled and I thought she was about to start laughing, but instead she replied, “Here, have some! ” Within seconds I had a handful of splendid purple tomatoes. “Oh, no, you don’t need to give me any!” I said. Those tomatoes looked expensive. “ Here, have more,” she insisted, and now I had six of the fattest, prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen. I weakly tried to protest:“Really, you didn’t have to give me any, but I appreciate it.” The woman smiled again and said, “I hope you enjoy them. And to answer your question, It’s an heirloom breed(传家宝品种) that my Mom used to plant. So they aren’t like the ones you get in the grocery store.” I thanked her again, and she sped off. She was like an adult version of the tooth fairy: I gave her ice cream and she gave me tomatoes. 注意: 1.所续写的短文词数应为150词左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好 Paragraph 1 About two weeks later, a box of vegetables was dropped off in my office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 I decided to accept her invitation to visit her vegetable garden. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: About two weeks later, a box of vegetables was dropped off in my office. A note was attached to the box, and it read: “To my friend, here are more delicious and healthy purple tomatoes. If you will, please come to visit my vegetable garden. You will like it.” What was totally beyond my expectation was that she went on giving me so many purple tomatoes, only as a result of my casual appreciation and desire. I shared the purple tomatoes and the moving story with my office colleagues, who also appreciated the gifts, encouraging me to accept her invitation. Paragraph 2: I decided to accept her invitation to visit her vegetable garden. What’s more, I desired to thank her face to face and make close friends with her in the coming days. I picked up my phone and called the telephone number on the note. After about half an hour’s drive, I came to the vegetable garden, where various vegetables ranging from tomatoes to cucumbers and green beans were planted. Seeing the garden in the soft sunshine, I felt that I had come to a natural green homeland, relaxed and delighted. “Thank you for your gifts. I am really glad to come here. ” I said to my friend. She smiled: “Thank you! I am very glad that you like them.” It was a casual greeting and kindness that brought us the precious friendship. What a surprise! 【解析】 【分析】本文以紫色西红柿为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家冰淇淋店做暑期兼职的时候，当作者把一个冰淇淋递给一个开着车的窗口的老太太时，注意到她有一盒看起来像是紫色西红柿的东西。作者对此非常好奇，尝试着向老太太询问那些紫色的西红柿是什么东西，没想到老太太非常热情的送给作者一大把紫色西红柿，而且还告诉作者，这些紫色西红柿是她的妈妈以前种的传家宝品种，与在商店里面买的不一样。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大约两个星期后，一箱蔬菜被送到我的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者遇到的那位老太太给作者寄来了一箱蔬菜，里面有作者喜欢的紫色西红柿。老太太在箱子里放了纸条，邀请作者参观她的菜园。 ②由第二段首句内容“我决定接受她的邀请去参观她的菜园。”可知，第二段可描写作者接受了邀请，去参观老太太的菜园。各种蔬菜令作者目不暇接，心情轻松愉悦。作者与老太太因为紫色的西红柿，建立了深厚的友谊。 2.续写线索：收到—一箱蔬菜——接受邀请——参观菜园——建立友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①卸下：drop off ②接受邀请：accept her invitation ③建立友谊：bring us the precious friendship 情绪类 ①.感谢：thank her face to face ②.心情：relaxed and delighted. 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B In 2018, 12-year-old Damian Earley was walking his dog when he noticed garbage cans knocked over by the wind, spilling trash onto the streets of his Columbus neighborhood. Disturbed by the environmental damage, he was inspired to create The Garbage Lot, a heavy platform with a locking mechanism to keep trash cans upright (直立). His invention won the “Industry Innovator Award” at Ohio’s Invention Convention and later earned first place at the national level. Damian’s path as an inventor was shaped by his participation in the Ohio Invention League (the OIL), a nonprofit that provides free STEM education to K-12 students. Through hands-on invention competitions, he learned to “sell” his invention to judges. Writing and crafting his presentation helped sharpen his communication skills and practice entrepreneurship (创业), which are crucial for the future employment market where students will likely work in jobs that have not yet been created. Damian’s teachers, particularly Sarah Priebe, admired his strong work ethic. She recalled Damian’s exceptional oral presentation in eighth grade, “You can tell he put a lot of time and practice into it. Many gifted students don’t seem to need to work as hard to excel at school, but he is always engaged and ready.” Elena and Zavier, Damian’s siblings, followed in his footsteps, creating their own inventions and receiving awards. Elena, 14, developed a device to remove bad smells from washing machines, while 11-year-old Zavier invented a drone for people with limited mobility. Their father, Matt, shared that watching the invention process take place had changed how he addressed issues in his vinyl records (黑胶唱片) business. 24. What drove Damian to create The Garbage Lot? A. His attention to neighborhood safety. B. The mess caused by fallen trash cans. C. His interest in environmental science. D. The need for an invention competition. 25. How does the OIL program prepare students for future jobs? A. By providing paid STEM education. B. By creating jobs that haven’t existed. C. By promoting entrepreneurial thinking. D. By selling invention presentation skills. 26. What quality of Damian impressed his teachers? A. Commitment. B. Intelligence. C. Curiosity. D. Leadership. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Damian’s siblings’ inventions are more practical than his. B. The invention process has influenced the whole family’s way of thinking. C. Damian’s father plans to apply his children’s inventions to his business. D. Damian’s siblings only followed his example for the sake of awards. C OpenAI unveils AI technology that recreates human voices. The start-up is sharing the technology, voice engine, with a small group of early testers as it tries to understand the potential dangers. The voice engine technology has the remarkable ability to mimic human voices with astonishing accuracy. By analyzing vast amounts of audio data, it can capture the unique characteristics of different voices, such as pitch, tone, and rhythm. This means that it can generate speech that sounds almost indistinguishable from that of a real person. OpenAI is being cautious with the roll-out of this technology. The company is aware that such powerful voice-recreation technology could be misused. For example, it could be used to create fake audio recordings for malicious purposes, like spreading false information or conducting voice-phishing scams. By starting with a small group of early testers, OpenAI hopes to identify and address these potential risks before making the technology more widely available. In addition to the potential for misuse, there are also ethical questions to consider. As the technology becomes more advanced, it blurs the line between what is real and what is artificial. This raises concerns about how we perceive authenticity in the age of AI. For instance, in the field of journalism, how can we be sure that an audio interview is genuine? And in personal relationships, if someone uses an AI-generated voice to communicate, is it a form of deception? Despite these concerns, the potential applications of the voice engine technology are vast. In the entertainment industry, it could be used to create more immersive experiences, such as in video games where characters’ voices can be generated in real-time based on the player’s actions. It could also assist the visually impaired by providing more natural-sounding voice-over for audiobooks and navigation systems. 28. What is the main feature of OpenAI’s voice engine technology? A. It can analyze audio data quickly. B. It can recreate human voices with high accuracy. C. It can be used for free by early testers D. It can prevent the spread of false information. 29. Why is OpenAI sharing the technology with only a small group of early testers? A. To limit the number of people who can use the technology for free. B. To test the technology’s performance in different situations in advance. C. To find out and deal with the possible problems the technology may cause. D. To collect feedback on the technology’s user-friendliness ahead of time. 30. What ethical questions does the advanced voice-recreation technology raise? A. How to avoid being overdependent on the technology. B. How to protect the privacy of audio data. C. How to ensure the authenticity of audio in different fields. D. How to advocate more people to use the technology. 31. What are the potential applications of the voice engine technology mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Using AI-generated voice to communicate with others. B. Improving the navigation systems for the hearing impaired. C. Spreading false information and conducting voice-phishing scams. D. Helping the entertainment industry and the visually impaired. D Your fingerprint and the pattern of lines in your eyes are known to be more or less unique to each person, including you, or at least specific enough to be useful for unlocking your phone. Most people rarely think about breathing, but for researchers like Noam Sobel and his colleagues, regular cycle of in and out contains information about the brain. Every time you breathe, sensory neurons (神经元) and other cells that help monitor the environment get activated, and Dr. Sobel and Timna Soroka, a graduate student, wondered whether it would be possible to identify individuals from long-term recordings of their breathing patterns. “We assumed, brains are unique, and therefore breathing patterns would also be unique,” Dr. Sobel said. The study was conducted in 100 people who wore sensors for 24 hours. There’s more to a cycle of breath than just breathing in and breathing out. One person might have a very consistent pause (停顿) just before each breath. Another might pause some of the time and barely at other times. Someone might tend to breathe out very quickly, or sigh more frequently than another. For many people, one nostril (鼻孔) might have a greater flow than the other for some of the day. Neuroscientist Jack Feldman said that before the research was done, he would have considered the idea of a fingerprint-like breathing pattern highly unlikely. But he said the team’s study “provides very convincing data that we have very distinctive breathing patterns. That makes sense, because breathing is closely tied to many processes in the body, each of which might well be unique to individuals.” Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka found that it was possible to link subjects’ body mass index (指数) with features of their breath and that there were potential connections between breathing patterns and subjects’ scores on questionnaires for assessing features related to anxiety, depression or autism. They also wonder whether it might be possible to identify on a more refined level exactly what a healthier pattern of breath looks like, both as a way to identify illness and to explore whether people can be taught ways of breathing that might change their biology. 32. Why did Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka research breath? A. To develop new phone unlocking methods. B. To study the brain’s monitoring system. C. To identify individuals from breathing patterns. D. To understand the sensory neurons’ function. 33. What did Dr. Sobel and Ms. Soroka find in the study? A. People sigh as frequently as each other. B. Breathing cycles are tied to emotions. C. Nostril airflow differs in most people. D. Each person has a unique breath print. 34. What is Jack Feldman’s initial attitude to the study? A. Dismissive. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Unclear. 35. What is the likely application of this research according to the last paragraph? A. The environmental studies. B. The sensor development. C. The clinical research. D. The athletic performance training. 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。 Humans are born and wired to compete with one another. Influencers compare how many “likes” they have on social media. Millionaires envy billionaires. Famous actors complain about the Oscar or Emmy that should have been theirs. ___36___ On the contrary, if left unmanaged it can create misery (不幸) for ourselves and others, at least when it comes to happiness and longevity (长寿). This conclusion comes from research conducted on Olympic athletes. In a 1995 study, scholars studied the emotional reactions of silver and bronze medalists in the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. They examined the medalists both immediately after their events and later on the awards podium (领奖台). ___37___ More recent research has looked at the life span (寿命) of all three medalist categories. A 2018 study tracked the average longevity of those representing the U. S. in the Olympic Games from 1904 to 1936. The results showed that the athletes whose best performance was silver lived to 72. Gold medalists beat this by a solid (不间断) four years, living to 76. But first prize went to the bronze medalists, who lived to 78. The study had a handy explanation: “ ___38___ ” In other words, silver medalists see themselves as the first loser. This is because they look up to the top step and compare themselves only with the gold medalists while the bronze winners compare themselves favourably with all the others who never made it onto the podium at all. This hypothesis (假设) is based on a large body of literature (文献) showing the difference between upward and downward social comparison. When we compare ourselves with those who have more money, power, or achievements, we often feel like losers. ___39___ The worldly happiness strategy of striving for gold every day is foolish. More likely, you will spend most of your time feeling like a silver medalist. ___40___ It would be much more advisable, then, to aim for healthy competition in which you do your best without expectation of being the absolute winner. The only person to whom you will have to compare yourself is you. A. Dissatisfactory competition results may negatively influence health. B. In contrast, downward comparison makes people feel better about themselves, and thus happier. C. It is discovered that the bronze winners appeared happier on average than the silver medalists. D. Comparing our own circumstances with the unfortunate lot of others is a reliable path to general well-being. E. Although the competitive spirit may be as natural as breathing air, it does not always lead to human flourishing (兴盛). F. You may be always longing, pinning your hope on a single outcome, but eventually ending up with failure and disappointment. G. People commonly feel bad about themselves after checking out the lives of others on social media who post only about their victories and celebrations. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节, 满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I told my husband that I wanted to learn the drums (架子鼓).

Then I went home and ___54___ more, because you never know when the famous band might call, ___55___ someone to stand in for them for a few songs. I wonder if they give out stickers? 41.

So why is this gas there, 50 kilometers up from the planet’s surface? Prof. Jane Greaves from Cardiff University, UK, together with other scientists, ____59____(try) to solve this mystery at present. They have published a paper ____60____ (outline) their findings and done some work ____61____(determine) the gas doesn’t originate from life. Despite their efforts, they have not reached a conclusion. No one has yet been able to say how the gas can be there without living things to create it. “I have devoted my entire career ____62____ searching for extraterrestrial (地球外的) life,” said Prof. Greaves, “so ____63____ idea that we might have found a sign of life on Venus is exciting. But we are encouraging others to contribute their ideas and help us identify ____64____ we may have missed.” The scientists are also investigating the possibility that the gas could be a byproduct of geological processes, but _____65_____ (far) research is needed to confirm this. 第四部分 写作 第一节 （满分15分） 66. 假设你是李华，你校英文报正在开展主题为“Will AI Replace Teachers?”的征文活动，请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 你的观点； 2. 陈述理由。 注意： 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数为150左右。 A few years ago, I was taking up a part-time summer job at a local ice cream shop. While handing an ice cream to an old woman at the drive-through window, I noticed that she had a box of what appeared to be purple tomatoes. (If you’ve ever had a drive-through job, you know that it’s hard not to look into someone’s car when you are near from his or her face. ) That’s when I felt the desire coming on. I felt that I was eager to explore what they exactly were. But I just didn’t know how to start my exploration. Would she refuse my curiosity directly or just keep silent, even with a look of disgust? After a struggle in my heart, I decided to encourage myself to grasp the last minute. As I handed her the ice cream, I said, ”Those tomatoes look delicious! What kind are they?” She smiled and I thought she was about to start laughing, but instead she replied, “Here, have some! ” Within seconds I had a handful of splendid purple tomatoes. “Oh, no, you don’t need to give me any!” I said. Those tomatoes looked expensive. “ Here, have more,” she insisted, and now I had six of the fattest, prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen. I weakly tried to protest:“Really, you didn’t have to give me any, but I appreciate it.” The woman smiled again and said “I hope you enjoy them. And to answer your question, It’s an heirloom breed(传家宝品种) that my Mom used to plant. So they aren’t like the ones you get in the grocery store.” I thanked her again, and she sped off. She was like an adult version of the tooth fairy: I gave her ice cream and she gave me tomatoes. 注意: 1.所续写的短文词数应为150词左右; 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已经为你写好 Paragraph 1 About two weeks later, a box of vegetables was dropped off in my office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 I decided to accept her invitation to visit her vegetable garden. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始，请看听力部分第一节。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Will you go shopping with me?
