Key Findings: After analyzing data from more than 160,000 adults globally, researchers discovered that compared to just 2,000 steps per day, achieving 7,000 steps leads to: •25% lower risk of heart disease •6% reduced chance of cancer •38% decreased dementia risk •22% lower likelihood of depression Lead researcher Dr. Melody Ding clarifies that the 10,000-step target traces back to a 1960s Japanese pedometer (计步器) marketing strategy rather than medical evidence. Health Expert Opinions: Dr. Daniel Bailey (Brunel University London) recommends 7,000 steps as a “realistic and regular” daily goal, rather than occasional intense efforts. Dr. Andrew Scott (University of Portsmouth) advises that while “more movement is better”, consistency matters most. Prof. Azeem Majeed (Imperial College London) highlights that routine daily activities like gardening or cleaning also contribute meaningfully in the long run. Practical Advice: Make it social: Walk with friends/family to stay motivated and enjoy quality time. Start small: Even 4,000 daily steps show measurable health improvements over inactivity. Focus on feeling good: Regular walker Jon Stride emphasizes that mental well-being benefits outweigh strict step counts. While official guidelines recommend 150 weekly exercise minutes, this study shows regular 7,000-step walking provides major health benefits. The key is consistent movement — whether through walking, daily tasks, or other activities — without overemphasizing perfect numbers. Small, sustainable efforts make the real difference. 21. How many steps per day can significantly lower disease risks according to the study? A. 2,000 steps. B. 4,000 steps. C. 7,000 steps. D. 10,000 steps. 22. What do health experts emphasize in walking advice? A. Impressive records. B. Official guidance. C. Intensive movement. D. Sustainable habits. 23. What is recommended to make walking more enjoyable? A. Sharing walks with friends. B. Starting with small goals. C. Focusing on step counts. D. Setting MUST-DO daily tasks. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述介绍了一项研究指出每日走7000步可显著改善大脑功能并降低重大疾病风险及专家建议。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A groundbreaking study published in The Lancet Public Health reveals that walking 7,000 steps daily can significantly enhance brain function and lower the risk of major diseases, challenging the widely accepted but unscientific 10,000-step standard.(发表在《柳叶刀-公共卫生》上的一项开创性研究显示，每日走7000步可以显著改善大脑功能，降低患重大疾病的风险，这对普遍认可但缺乏科学依据的10000步标准提出了挑战)”可知，根据研究，每天走7000步可以显著降低疾病风险。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Health Expert Opinions部分中“Dr. Daniel Bailey (Brunel University London) recommends 7,000 steps as a “realistic and regular” daily goal, rather than occasional intense efforts.(伦敦布鲁内尔大学的Daniel Bailey博士建议将7000步作为一个“现实而规律的”日常目标，而不是偶尔的剧烈运动)”，“Dr. Andrew Scott (University of Portsmouth) advises that while “more movement is better”, consistency matters most.(朴茨茅斯大学的Andrew Scott博士建议，虽然“运动越多越好”，但最重要的是坚持)”以及“Prof. Azeem Majeed (Imperial College London) highlights that routine daily activities like gardening or cleaning also contribute meaningfully in the long run.(伦敦帝国理工学院的Azeem Majeed教授强调，从长远来看，园艺或清洁等日常活动也有重要意义)”可知，健康专家强调的是可持续的习惯。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Practical Advice部分中“Make it social: Walk with friends/family to stay motivated and enjoy quality time.(社交化：与朋友/家人一起散步，保持动力，享受美好时光)”可知，建议与朋友分享散步，让散步更愉快。故选A。 B My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 24. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 25. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 26. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者一家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，通过参与栖息地修复、森林恢复等相关志愿活动，既为当地环境和社区作出贡献，也让自身旅行更具意义，还介绍了不同岛屿的mālama实践及当地人对该理念的解读。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(在这里，我们了解到古老的夏威夷“mālama(关爱)”理念，该理念鼓励游客通过栖息地修复、海滩清理或物资供给等活动，回馈环境和当地社区。但mālama不止于生态旅游——它意味着让一个地方比你发现它时更好。)”可知，作者在第一段围绕mālama理念，先介绍其定义，再说明其内涵，是通过解释概念来呈现主题的。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay.(在夏威夷群岛，随处可见mālama志愿者体验活动。例如在毛伊岛，您可以参与修复原生森林，或在植物苗圃担任志愿者；而在瓦胡岛，游客可以清理马努努阿湾的入侵藻类。)”可知，mālama志愿者能参与恢复当地森林的活动。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations.(我们见到了格雷格・索拉塔里奥，他的家族世世代代都在照料这片土地。)”可知，格雷格的家族长期保护这片土地。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段中“My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it.(我们全家在夏威夷旅行时，接触到了古老的“mālama(关爱)”理念。这个概念倡导游客通过修复生态栖息地、清洁海滩、捐赠食物等方式回馈当地环境与社区。但mālama的内涵远不止于生态旅游——其核心在于让每个到访之地因你的到来而变得更加美好)”可知，文章核心是作者一家践行mālama理念，通过志愿活动让夏威夷(他们所喜爱的旅行地)变得更好，同时自身旅行也更有意义，体现“改善所喜爱的事物”的内涵。选项 A“The wise improve what they enjoy(智者会改善他们所喜爱的事物)”符合这一主旨。故选A。 C Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age. It stresses the need for early identification, early intervention, and improved early literacy courses in preschools. Gaab explained some children enter kindergarten with a less-developed brain for learning to read, and that these differences appear in toddlerhood. “We’re currently waiting until second or third grade to find kids who are struggling readers,” she said. “We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.” Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset. While other studies track brain development, this is the only longitudinal (纵向的) study that follows brain development from infancy with comprehensive literacy outcomes. “Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.” The findings suggest that children who struggle with reading may begin school already showing brain differences that affect literacy learning. Gaab emphasized that understanding when and how these differences arise could help improve early screening and support. She believes such basic research can inform education policy and help more children succeed in reading from the start. 28. What does the new study find about reading disabilities? A. They emerge after kindergarten. B. They change a person’s character. C. They are tough to identify early. D. They appear much earlier than assumed. 29. What does the underlined word “plastic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult to damage. B. Easily influenced or changed. C. Capable of remembering things quickly. D. Especially suitable for acquiring new skills. 30. What about the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its scientific bases. B. Its technology limitations. C. Its significance. D. Its process. 31. What can be inferred from Turesky’s words? A. Large sample sizes guarantee reliable findings. B. The findings may help shape courses in preschools. C. The longitudinal research method adopted is pioneering. D. Typical maturation should be involved in following studies. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项关于儿童阅读障碍长期研究发现，阅读发展差异可能在孩子18个月大时就已出现，强调了早期识别和干预的重要性，并指出该研究对教育政策具有重要启示。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age.(专家们早就知道阅读技能在幼儿园之前就开始发展，但哈佛大学教育研究生院的新研究表明，阅读技能可能早在幼儿期就开始发展。由纳丁・加布领导的这项研究发现，有阅读障碍和没有阅读障碍的儿童的发展轨迹在18个月大左右开始出现差异。)”可知，阅读障碍出现的时间比之前认为的要早得多。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.(我们应该更早地进行干预，因为我们知道大脑越年轻，对语言输入就越plastic。)”以及上文内容可知，年龄越小，大脑对语言输入的可塑性越强，即更容易受语言输入的影响和改变。所以猜测plastic在此处表示“易受影响或改变的”。故选B。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants, starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset.(加布和她的合著者从3个月大的130名参与者开始研究。在十多年的时间里，他们使用核磁共振扫描来追踪从婴儿期到儿童期的大脑发育及其与读写能力的关系。他们的样本包括来自波士顿和加拿大的儿童，并结合了卡尔加里学前核磁共振数据集的数据。)”可知，本段主要讲述了研究的过程，包括研究对象、研究时间、研究方法以及数据来源等。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.”(合著者泰德・图雷斯基说：“其他那些研究样本量更大，但它们更关注典型的成熟过程。我们没有看到其他从婴儿期开始，长期追踪同一组孩子大脑成熟过程，并纳入学业成果测量的研究。”)”可知，图雷斯基的话表明该研究采用的纵向研究方法具有开创性。故选C。 D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 32. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 33. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 34. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 35. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以给出准确的地震预测，介绍了其工作原理以及意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声).(经过训练后，人工智能通过探测隐藏在地球低频隆隆声中的早期地震指标来提供预测)”可知，人工智能分析地球上的背景声音预测地震事件。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”(该项目标志着人工智能在预测地震事件方面的探索取得了重大突破。德克萨斯地震网的高级研究员Alexandros Savvaidis说：“地震发生在没有预警的情况下，经常在眨眼之间发生。你能影响的只有你的准备程度。达到70%的预测率是一项相当大的成就，可以显著限制地震的影响，减少经济负担和生命损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。”)”可知，亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯想在第3段说明发展人工智能预测的意义。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(他们的下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，德克萨斯大学的TexNet运营着一个由300个地震站组成的网络，拥有超过六年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些研究的理想地点)”可知，接下来的研究重点是在不同地点进行测试。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities.(人工智能(AI)的进步表明，准确的地震预测可能是可以实现的，从而对传统智慧产生了质疑，即这种成就超出了我们的能力)”以及最后一段““That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.(“这可能还有很长的路要走，但许多像这样的进步，综合起来，是推动科学向前发展的动力，”该局局长斯科特·廷克总结道)”可推知，地震预测技术具有开创性和前景。故选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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____36____ On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____37____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences. ____38____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments. What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____39____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress. But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____40____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are. In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope. A. But why do we love nostalgia so much? B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us. C. Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs. D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it. E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic. F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy. G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life. 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述怀旧的普遍现象、心理作用、对大脑的积极影响及平衡之道，指出其有助于应对当下与未来。 【36题详解】 由上文“Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites.(怀旧之情——对过去的温暖渴望——在当今的文化中无处不在。像《芭比》、《夺宝奇兵》和《壮志凌云》这样的电影通过重现经典而吸引了大量观众。)”及下文“On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good.(从表面上看，怀旧只是让我们感觉良好。)”对怀旧情感的详细解释可知，本空应询问为什么人们喜欢怀旧。A选项“But why do we love nostalgia so much? (但我们为什么这么喜欢怀旧呢？)”以问句形式开启原因探讨，能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 【37题详解】 由上文“On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good.(从表面上看，怀旧只是让我们感觉良好。)”及下文“According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences.(据中国科学院心理研究所杨紫嫣教授介绍，怀旧之情会让人产生温暖、归属感，甚至是一种精神上对过去的逃避。在艰难时期——无论是个人困境还是全球性危机——怀旧都如同一道情感安全网。电影和音乐是强大的怀旧触发因素，因为它们能重现熟悉的情感和经历。)”可知，本空需体现“表面现象”与“深层作用”的转折。D选项“However, psychology experts say there’s more to it.(然而，心理学专家表示，事情远不止于此。)”既转折上文“简单的表面感受”，又引出下文专家对怀旧深层意义的解读，符合逻辑。故选D。 【38题详解】 由下文“First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds.(首先，它给我们一种控制感。即使生活感觉不可预测，回顾过去也能让我们感到更加踏实和安全。其次，怀旧加强了社会联系。)”可知，本段说明怀旧带心理上的满足。C选项“Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs.(怀旧也满足关键的心理需求。)”直接概括了下文的内容，起到了引领下文的作用。故选C。 【39题详解】 由上文“What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions.(怀旧对我们的大脑有什么影响？大部分都是好东西！研究表明，它通过激活积极情绪来提高幸福感、创造力和能量。)”及下文“This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals.(这种年轻的乐观心态鼓励我们冒险、追求目标。)”可知，本空应继续解释怀旧对大脑的影响，强调怀旧能让人们感觉年轻乐观。E选项“It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic.(它甚至能让我们感觉更年轻、更乐观。)”能承上启下，且句中“younger and more optimistic”与下文“This youthful optimism”相照应。故选E。 【40题详解】 由上文“But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present.(但太多的怀旧会有害吗？少量摄入是健康的。然而，如果我们过多地思考过去，它可能会阻碍我们前进。关键在于平衡——在不忽视当下的情况下享受回忆。)”及下文“It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are.(它帮助我们重新连接真实的自我，记住自己的本质。)”可知，本空需回归“怀旧的整体积极属性”，引出下文对其正面作用的补充。G选项“Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life.(不过，总的来说，怀旧是生活中自然且积极的一部分。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选G。 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。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____41____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____42____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____43____.

Many students rely on ChatGPT, Deepseek to solve math problems, practice languages, or organize study schedules. However, this convenience comes with challenges, such as over-dependence and ethical concerns about originality in work. In my daily study routine, I use AI tools wisely. I rely on apps to improve writing accuracy and brainstorm essay ideas. However, I avoid over-dependence by cross-checking AI suggestions with textbooks or teacher feedback. My advice? Embrace AI as a supporter, not a replacement. Balance technology with critical thinking, and always prioritize understanding over shortcuts. AI can lighten the load, but true learning still requires your effort and curiosity. Only by blending AI’s efficiency with human creativity can we unlock greater academic potential. Version2 分析现状（客观环境）+我的观点+建议 AI and Our Study As a high school student, I have noticed that AI is increasingly being used in our study. Many online learning platforms now incorporate AI to provide personalized study plans and real-time feedback. In my opinion, the use of AI in study has both advantages and challenges. On one hand, it can adapt to our individual learning styles and paces, making learning more efficient. It can also offer immediate help and explanations when we encounter difficulties. However, there are also concerns. For example, over-reliance on AI might reduce our ability to think independently. To make the best of AI in our study, we should use it as a tool to assist us, but not rely on it completely. We still need to develop our own critical thinking and problem-solving skills. I believe that with the right approach, AI can greatly enhance our learning experience and help us achieve better academic results. Version3 分析现状（大家还不怎么会用）+我的建议 AI And Our Study In our school, AI is not yet a part of our daily study. Although it’s widely discussed, most students, including me, haven’t used it in learning, mainly because we lack the know-how. However, I believe AI can bring huge benefits to our study. For instance, AI-powered language learning apps can offer instant translations and grammar checks, helping us improve language skills. Also, intelligent study planners can arrange personalized study schedules according to our weaknesses. To make the most of AI, I suggest the school organize training sessions to teach us how to use AI tools safely and effectively. This way, we can leverage AI to enhance our learning efficiency. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇英语文章投稿，说明AI用于学习的现状以及你的看法或建议。 【详解】（范文1） 1.词汇积累 依靠：rely on→depend on 替代物：replacement→alternative 解决：solve→address 明智地：wisely→advisably 2.句式拓展 合并句子 原句：Many students rely on ChatGPT, Deepseek to solve math problems, practice languages, or organize study schedules.

I was over the moon — I had only ever seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in books, and now I would actually get to walk through history! For weeks, I imagined the towering palaces, the red-and-gold gates, and the stories hidden in every corner. Finally, the day arrived, and there I was, standing in the heart of Beijing, staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen. The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life. The golden roofs shone under the sun, the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors, and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale. Every turn revealed something new — a dragon statue, a marble staircase, a hidden garden — and I couldn’t stop taking pictures, desperate to capture every detail. My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another, insisting on yet another photo. What struck me most were the colors. The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show. Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps. I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years. The place was packed with tourists, all murmuring in different languages, their faces filled with the same amazement as mine. Some pointed at the architecture, others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly, taking it all in. The energy was infectious — everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place. As the afternoon wore on, we followed the crowd toward the exit. The sea of people was overwhelming, and I, being small for my age, grasped my father's hand tightly, afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd. The noise, the heat, and the excitement made everything feel like a blur — until suddenly, I looked down at the large hand I was holding — the wrong watch, the wrong-colored ring. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My blood turned to ice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There he was, just three people away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My blood turned to ice. My heart pounded violently when I realized I was holding a stranger’s hand. I looked up at the man — he had kind eyes and a gentle smile. “Are you lost?” he asked, crouching down to my height. I nodded, fighting back tears. Without hesitation, he asked a nearby guard for help, describing my parents and keeping me calm. Though he was a stranger, his patience and warmth made the terrifying moment feel a little safer. Then I heard Dad’s voice calling my name. There he was, just three people away. He came rushing toward me through the crowd, his face pale with worry. The second he saw me, his shoulders relaxed, and he pulled me into a tight hug. He thanked the kind stranger again and again, his voice shaking. As we walked away, I glanced back at the man, already lost in the crowd. That day, I learned something — Beijing’s beauty wasn’t just in its golden rooftops or ancient walls, but in people like him, who stopped to help a scared little child. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者十岁时，父母告知要去中国度暑假，作者满心期待。终于来到北京，在参观故宫时被其宏伟壮丽深深震撼，然而在下午随人群往出口走时，因人群拥挤作者错牵了陌生人的手而与父母走散的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我的血液都凝固了。”可知，第一段可描写作者意识到牵错手后内心的恐惧，以及陌生男子如何帮助作者寻找父母，比如男子询问作者情况，向附近警卫求助等。 ②由第二段首句内容 “他就在那儿，仅隔着三个人。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到父亲后的激动心情，父亲焦急的样子，以及父子团聚后对陌生男子的感谢，最后升华主题，表达这次经历让作者对故宫有了不一样的感悟。 2.续写线索：恐惧——求助——焦急寻找——团聚——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①怦怦地跳：pound/throb/beat rapidly ②求助：ask for help/seek assistance ③冲：rush/hurry/dash 情绪类： ①恐惧：scared/frightened/terrified ②担心：worry/anxiety/concern 【点睛】[高分句型1] I nodded, fighting back tears.（运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语） [高分句型2] He came rushing toward me through the crowd, his face pale with worry.（运用了独立主格结构作伴随状语） [高分句型3] That day, I learned something — Beijing’s beauty wasn’t just in its golden rooftops or ancient walls, but in people like him, who stopped to help a scared little child.（运用了who引导的非限定性定语从句） 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。I started working here as a factory worker as I left school, but now IT is closing down.

Key Findings: After analyzing data from more than 160,000 adults globally, researchers discovered that compared to just 2,000 steps per day, achieving 7,000 steps leads to: •25% lower risk of heart disease •6% reduced chance of cancer •38% decreased dementia risk •22% lower likelihood of depression Lead researcher Dr. Melody Ding clarifies that the 10,000-step target traces back to a 1960s Japanese pedometer (计步器) marketing strategy rather than medical evidence. Health Expert Opinions: Dr. Daniel Bailey (Brunel University London) recommends 7,000 steps as a “realistic and regular” daily goal, rather than occasional intense efforts. Dr. Andrew Scott (University of Portsmouth) advises that while “more movement is better”, consistency matters most. Prof. Azeem Majeed (Imperial College London) highlights that routine daily activities like gardening or cleaning also contribute meaningfully in the long run. Practical Advice: Make it social: Walk with friends/family to stay motivated and enjoy quality time. Start small: Even 4,000 daily steps show measurable health improvements over inactivity. Focus on feeling good: Regular walker Jon Stride emphasizes that mental well-being benefits outweigh strict step counts. While official guidelines recommend 150 weekly exercise minutes, this study shows regular 7,000-step walking provides major health benefits. The key is consistent movement — whether through walking, daily tasks, or other activities — without overemphasizing perfect numbers. Small, sustainable efforts make the real difference. 21. How many steps per day can significantly lower disease risks according to the study? A. 2,000 steps. B. 4,000 steps. C. 7,000 steps. D. 10,000 steps. 22. What do health experts emphasize in walking advice? A. Impressive records. B. Official guidance. C. Intensive movement. D. Sustainable habits. 23. What is recommended to make walking more enjoyable? A. Sharing walks with friends. B. Starting with small goals. C. Focusing on step counts. D. Setting MUST-DO daily tasks. B My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were introduced to the ancient Hawaiian concept of mālama (to care for) which encourages visitors to give back to the environment and local communities through activities like habitat restoration, beach cleanups or food provision. But mālama goes beyond eco-tourism — it’s about leaving a place better than you found it. And after seeking out these experiences during a three-week stay, we found mālama not only improves Hawaii, but it also made our time there much more meaningful. Mālama volunteer experiences are found across the islands. For example, on Maui, you can help restore native forests and volunteer at a nursery; while on O’ahu, visitors can clear invasive algae from Maunalua Bay. In some cases, travelers booking with partnering hotels and participating in designated activities will qualify for a discounted — or even free — night at dozens of hotels and resorts. “Mālama today is more vital than ever,” our guide Rogers said. “Too many tourists walk carelessly on our land, ignoring restrictions and damaging sensitive ecosystems... don’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared responsibility.” As Rogers explained, mālama isn’t just about seeing or appreciating a landscape; it invites visitors to connect and contribute to it, with the idea that caring for a place fosters a stronger relationship with it. After eight days, we ventured to Molokai, Hawaii’s least developed island. No resorts or chain stores spoiled its wild beauty — just dramatic cliffs meeting rough seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Solatario, whose family has taken care of this land for generations. His simple off-grid life perfectly embodied mālama. Greg welcomed us warmly before leading us through jungle-covered ruins of ancestral villages. As we approached, his son Devak blew a conch shell — a traditional request to enter. “The land remembers,” Greg explained, showing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spots. His parting words stayed with me: “Mālama shouldn’t be just Hawaiian — the whole world needs this way of caring.” 24. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By giving examples. C. By explaining a concept. D. By providing statistics. 25. What can Mālama volunteers experience in Hawaii? A. Developing Maunalua Bay. B. Reviving local forests. C. Asking for hotel discounts. D. Organizing big activities. 26. What do we know about Greg Solatario’s family? A. They built new resorts in the wild. B. They have long protected the land. C. They offered guided tours to locals. D. They fixed up the old village ruins. 27. Which of the following best describes the author’s trip in Hawaii? A. The wise improve what they enjoy. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. God helps those who help themselves. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C Experts have long known that reading skills develop before kindergarten, but new research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education suggests they may begin as early as infancy (幼儿期). The study, led by Nadine Gaab, found that developmental trajectories (轨迹) between children with and without reading disabilities start to differ around 18 months of age. It stresses the need for early identification, early intervention, and improved early literacy courses in preschools. Gaab explained some children enter kindergarten with a less-developed brain for learning to read, and that these differences appear in toddlerhood. “We’re currently waiting until second or third grade to find kids who are struggling readers,” she said. “We should intervene way earlier because we know the younger a brain is, the more plastic it is for language input.” Gaab and her co-authors worked with 130 participants starting as early as 3 months old. For over a decade, they used MRI scans to track brain development from infancy to childhood and its relation to literacy skills. Their sample included children from Boston and Canada, combined with data from the Calgary Preschool MRI Dataset. While other studies track brain development, this is the only longitudinal (纵向的) study that follows brain development from infancy with comprehensive literacy outcomes. “Those other studies had bigger sample sizes, but they were more focused on typical maturation,” said co-author Ted Turesky. “We didn’t see other studies that started in infancy, tracked brain maturation in the same set of kids for as long, and included academic outcome measures.” The findings suggest that children who struggle with reading may begin school already showing brain differences that affect literacy learning. Gaab emphasized that understanding when and how these differences arise could help improve early screening and support. She believes such basic research can inform education policy and help more children succeed in reading from the start. 28. What does the new study find about reading disabilities? A. They emerge after kindergarten. B. They change a person’s character. C. They are tough to identify early. D. They appear much earlier than assumed. 29. What does the underlined word “plastic” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Difficult to damage. B. Easily influenced or changed. C. Capable of remembering things quickly. D. Especially suitable for acquiring new skills. 30. What about the study does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its scientific bases. B. Its technology limitations. C. Its significance. D. Its process. 31. What can be inferred from Turesky’s words? A. Large sample sizes guarantee reliable findings. B The findings may help shape courses in preschools. C. The longitudinal research method adopted is pioneering. D. Typical maturation should be involved in following studies. D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine leaning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 32. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 33. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 34. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 35. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Nostalgia — the warm feeling of longing for the past— is everywhere in today’s culture. Movies like Barbie, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun are drawing huge crowds by bringing back old favorites. ____36____ On the surface, nostalgia simply makes us feel good. ____37____ According to Professor Ziyan Yang from the Institute of Psychology, CAS, nostalgia creates feelings of warmth, belonging, and even a mental escape to the past. During tough times — whether personal struggles or global crises — nostalgia acts like an emotional safety net. Movies and music are powerful triggers because they recreate familiar emotions and experiences. ____38____ First, it gives us a sense of control. Even when life feels unpredictable, reflecting on our past helps us feel more grounded and secure. Second, nostalgia strengthens social bonds. Though it seems like a personal experience, nostalgic memories often remind us of family, friends, and shared moments. What does nostalgia do to our brains? Mostly good things! Studies show it boosts happiness, creativity, and energy by activating positive emotions. ____39____ This youthful optimism encourages us to take risks and chase our goals. Some researchers suggest nostalgia acts like a “psychological immune system”, helping us cope with stress. But can too much nostalgia be harmful? In small amounts, it’s healthy. However, if we think about the past too much, it can keep us from moving forward. The key is balance — enjoying memories without losing sight of the present. ____40____ It helps us reconnect with our true selves and remember who we really are. In short, nostalgia isn’t just about reliving the past — it’s a tool that helps us navigate the present and future with hope. A. But why do we love nostalgia so much? B. This is why reunions feel so meaningful to us. C. Nostalgia also serves key psychological needs. D. However, psychology experts say there’s more to it. E. It can even make us feel younger and more optimistic. F. Remembering happy memories brings comfort and joy. G. Still, in general, nostalgia is a natural and positive part of life. 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。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____41____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____42____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____43____.

I was over the moon — I had only ever seen the Great Wall and the Forbidden City in books, and now I would actually get to walk through history! For weeks, I imagined the towering palaces, the red-and-gold gates, and the stories hidden in every corner. Finally, the day arrived, and there I was, standing in the heart of Beijing, staring up at the most magnificent buildings I had ever seen. The Forbidden City was even more incredible in real life. The golden roofs shone under the sun, the delicate carvings told silent tales of emperors and warriors, and the vast courtyards made me feel like I had stepped into a fairy tale. Every turn revealed something new — a dragon statue, a marble staircase, a hidden garden — and I couldn’t stop taking pictures, desperate to capture every detail. My parents laughed as I dragged them from one spot to another, insisting on yet another photo. What struck me most were the colors. The imperial yellow of the rooftops against the deep red walls looked brighter than any picture could show. Even the stone pathways seemed to glow with centuries of footsteps. I remembered running my fingers along a carved marble railing, wondering how many hands had touched that same spot over six hundred years. The place was packed with tourists, all murmuring in different languages, their faces filled with the same amazement as mine. Some pointed at the architecture, others posed for pictures, and a few just stood quietly, taking it all in. The energy was infectious — everyone seemed to feel the magic of this ancient place. As the afternoon wore on, we followed the crowd toward the exit. The sea of people was overwhelming, and I, being small for my age, grasped my father's hand tightly, afraid to get lost in the rushing crowd. The noise, the heat, and the excitement made everything feel like a blur — until suddenly, I looked down at the large hand I was holding — the wrong watch, the wrong-colored ring. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My blood turned to ice ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ There he was, just three people away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
