【答案】17. A 18. B 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】M: Right, so here we are in Fairhaven. And we’re visiting Fairhaven because of its historical links with a man called Manjiro Nakahama. So I’ll begin by giving you a brief introduction to his life, and then you can take your time to explore the town. Manjiro Nakahama was born in 1827 in a village by the sea in Tosashimizu, Japan. And like many people in that town, he became a fisherman when he was young. One day in 1841, he and some others were fishing far off the coast of Japan when they were caught in a storm. He was rescued by an American whale ship. And Manjiro became friends with the captain William Whitfield, who came from the town of Fairhaven. That is where we are now. He chose to remain aboard, and to come with the boat to the U.S.A. So Manjiro became the first Japanese to set foot on American soil. He studied mathematics and geography as well as shipbuilding in Fairhaven. But he missed his mother, and his own country. Eventually in 1851 he went back to Japan where he had a responsible position as a university teacher. He also served an invaluable role as an interpreter to build up and improve the relationship between Japan and the United States. Tosashimizu and Fairhaven now have the official status of sister cities. In Fairhaven there have been a number of visits by the people of Tosashimizu, in particular at the time of the festival, which is held every two years to celebrate the life and achievements of Manjiro. It takes place in the fall, and there’s an ever-growing program including drumming, singing, and small open shops selling Japanese and American food. So, if you're going to be in the area around then, it’s really worth a visit.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Poem A:
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth I knew not where;
For who has the sight so keen and strong,
That can follow the flight of a song?
Long, long afterwards, in an oak,
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Poem B:
I love three things in this world,
The sun, the moon and you.
The sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you forever.
For the world you are somebody,
But for somebody you are the world.
I drop a tear in the ocean
And the day you find it is the day I will stop loving you!
People laugh and people cry,
Some say hi while some bye,
Some give up and some always try,
Others may forget you but never will I.
Poem C (excerpt):
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should even come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Poem D:
I don’t know what your dream is.
I don’t care how disappointing it might have been,
As you’ve been working toward that dream.
Some of you already know that is hard.
It’s not easy.
In the process of working on your dreams,
You’re going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain.
For those of you that never experience some hardships,
Don’t give up on your dream.
There are right times on the way to have come.
But they have not come to be seen, they have come to be past.
21. What does “a tear in the ocean” in Poem B imply?
A. I feel sad for your love. B. You mean everything to me.
C. I won’t stop loving you all my life. D. My love for you is as wide as the ocean.
22. Which poem is a suitable choice to encourage a frustrated friend?
A. Poem A. B. Poem B. C. Poem C. D. Poem D.
23. Which of the following themes is NOT covered in the four poems?
A. Friendship. B. Freedom. C. Choices. D. Perseverance.

B
Rosamund Pike delivered one of the most accomplished performances of the past few years in 2018’s A Private War, in which she played journalist Marie Colvin. In Radioactive, Pike brings the same level of stable commitment to an alternately fascinating and disappointing biopic (传记片) about French scientist Marie Curie.
Based on Lauren Redniss’s graphic novel (图像小说), Radioactive covers the well-known achievements of Marie Curie: her Nobel Prize for discovering radium and polonium, and her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. For those unfamiliar with her personal life, the film reveals lesser-known aspects, including her passionate partnership with her husband Pierre, a disgraceful affair that damaged her reputation, and her Polish roots, which made her an outsider in Paris. Though not an activist, Curie’s determination to be respected in a male-dominated scientific world aligns with women’s rights advocacy.
Directed by Marjane Satrapi, Radioactive attempts to translate the bold visuals and narrative style of a graphic novel into a vivid movie with mixed results. The film is visually striking, thanks to Anthony Dod Mantle’s filming skills — the glowing green radium is both stunning and tragic. Yet the storytelling lacks fluency when Satrapi inserts surreal time jumps, showing how Curie’s discoveries later influenced both medicine and warfare.
Pike delivers a strong performance, portraying Curie as brilliant but difficult; admirable yet not always likable. However, the film struggles with its uneven structure, shifting between biography and symbolic scenes that feel out of place. The irony of Curie’s story is that she hated suffering, yet her work led to both life-saving treatments and destructive weapons.
Ultimately, Radioactive’s biggest flaw may be its source material. The fragmented (碎片化的) style of the graphic novel doesn’t fully translate to film, leaving the story feeling uneven. While Pike’s performance and Curie’s legendary life make the movie worth watching, the execution (执行) falls short of its potential.
24. What is the primary subject of the film Radioactive?
A. The life story of journalist Marie Colvin. B. The history of radium and nuclear warfare.
C. A fictional story about a Polish scientist in Paris. D. Marie Curie’s achievements and personal struggle.
25. What does the underlined words aligns with in paragraph 2 likely mean?
A. weighs up. B. shrinks from. C. harmonizes with. D. interferes with.
26. What criticism does the passage highlight about Radioactive?
A. The actress’ performance is unconvincing.
B. Curie’s scientific discoveries are inaccurate.
C. The film is a flawed translation from page to screen.
D. The film fails to address Curie’s influence on equal rights.
27. Which section of a newspaper is this passage possibly from?
A. Health & Wealth. B. Opinions & Thoughts.
C. Agendas & Events. D. Technology & Gadgets.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是电影《放射性物质》的影评,主要讲述了电影《放射性物质》的优缺点,包括其主题、视觉效果、叙事结构以及对原著的改编等方面。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Based on Lauren Redniss’s graphic novel (图像小说), Radioactive covers the well-known achievements of Marie Curie: her Nobel Prize for discovering radium and polonium, and her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. For those unfamiliar with her personal life, the film reveals lesser-known aspects, including her passionate partnership with her husband Pierre, a disgraceful affair that damaged her reputation, and her Polish roots, which made her an outsider in Paris.(电影《放射性物质》根据劳伦·雷德尼斯的图像小说改编,讲述了玛丽·居里众所周知的成就:她因发现镭和钋而获得诺贝尔奖,以及她在放射性方面的开创性研究。对于那些不熟悉她个人生活的人来说,这部电影揭示了她鲜为人知的一面,包括她与丈夫皮埃尔的热情合作,一场损害她名誉的不光彩的婚外情,以及她的波兰血统,这使她在巴黎成为一个局外人。)”可知,电影《放射性物质》的主要主题是玛丽·居里的成就和个人挣扎。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Though not an activist, Curie’s determination to be respected in a male-dominated scientific world aligns with women’s rights advocacy.(尽管居里不是一位活动家,但她决心在男性主导的科学世界中受到尊重,这aligns with女性权利的倡导。)”可知,居里夫人决心在一个男性主导的科学世界中获得尊重,这与女权倡导相一致。故aligns with意思是“与……一致”。A. weighs up权衡;B. shrinks from退缩;C. harmonizes with与……一致;D. interferes with干涉。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, Radioactive’s biggest flaw may be its source material. The fragmented (碎片化的) style of the graphic novel doesn’t fully translate to film, leaving the story feeling uneven.(最终,《放射性物质》最大的缺陷可能是它的素材来源。图像小说的碎片化风格并不能完全转化为电影,使得故事感觉参差不齐。)”可知,这篇文章强调了《放射性物质》这部电影从书到电影的改编存在缺陷。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据文章第二段中“Based on Lauren Redniss’s graphic novel (图像小说), Radioactive covers the well-known achievements of Marie Curie: her Nobel Prize for discovering radium and polonium, and her groundbreaking research on radioactivity.(电影《放射性物质》根据劳伦·雷德尼斯的图像小说改编,讲述了玛丽·居里众所周知的成就:她因发现镭和钋而获得诺贝尔奖,以及她在放射性方面的开创性研究。)”可知,文章主要讲述了电影《放射性物质》的优缺点,包括其主题、视觉效果、叙事结构以及对原著的改编等方面,可推知,文章可能出自报纸的“观点与想法”部分。故选B。
C
Remember when concerts were just about singing along and maybe buying a T-shirt? Well, those days are over. Nowadays, concerts have grown into massive money-makers, turning cities into buzzing spots full of tourists, shoppers, and excited fans ready to spend.
Take Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in 2023. It wasn’t just a big show — it poured over $5 billion into the U.S. economy. Hotels were booked months ahead, ride-share drivers worked nonstop, and local restaurants couldn’t keep up with hungry fans. China has seen similar effects, with stars like Jay Chou filling arenas and boosting local economies during their tours. Through concerts, cities weren’t just hoping for a good time — they were chasing real cash, showing that a great concert can bring in more money than many ads and campaigns combined.
Some critics argue that this surge in economic activity is just a temporary spike that disappears once the last note fades, overlooking the fact that music’s impact goes far beyond immediate spending; it shapes identity, community, and memories that keep fans returning time after time, while social media can increase this effect greatly, as a single viral concert clip can inspire thousands more to join future events. This complex interplay of emotional connection and digital reach means the concert economy is about much more than money.
Governments are quick to recognize this potential. Shanghai now combines major concerts with tourism packages, Seoul has built immersive K-pop experience centers, and smaller cities are investing in upgraded venues to attract big-name acts, understanding that live music can be a vital part of urban development strategies that combine cultural appeal with economic growth.
So, is the concert economy simply a passing trend, or does it signal the future of how cities grow and thrive? As more places try to catch this rhythm, maybe it’s time to ask — how much of our economic future will be written on the music stage?
28. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Jay Chou’s tours?
A. To show only superstars boost the concert economy.
B. To compare Western and Asian music markets' impacts.
C. To illustrate concerts drive big economic growth globally.
D. To prove concerts are more popular than other entertainments.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 about the concert economy’s impact?
A. It is mostly temporary, tied to the concert period.
B. It utterly depends on cultural bonds from concerts.
C. It relies barely on social media for long-term benefits.
D. It clearly goes beyond short-term spending to cultural aspects.
30 What does the passage suggest about the concert economy’s role in urban development?
A. Limits to music-focused cities.
B. Fits into city growth strategies.
C. Ranks below traditional industries.
D. Demands heavy funding, low return.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the concert economy?
A. Pessimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic. D. Neutral.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了现代音乐会已演变为推动城市经济发展的重要力量,并探讨其未来潜力。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Take Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in 2023. It wasn’t just a big show — it poured over $5 billion into the U.S. economy.(以2023年泰勒·斯威夫特的巡演为例,它不仅是一场大型演出,还为美国经济注入了超过50亿美元)”及“China has seen similar effects, with stars like Jay Chou filling arenas and boosting local economies during their tours.(中国也出现了类似效应,如周杰伦等明星的巡演填满了场馆,带动了当地经济)”可知,作者通过具体案例说明音乐会推动全球经济增长。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Some critics argue that this surge in economic activity is just a temporary spike that disappears once the last note fades, overlooking the fact that music’s impact goes far beyond immediate spending; it shapes identity, community, and memories that keep fans returning time after time, while social media can increase this effect greatly, as a single viral concert clip can inspire thousands more to join future events.(一些批评者认为,这种经济活动的激增只是演唱会结束时音符消散后的短暂高峰,却忽视了音乐的影响远不止于即时消费——它塑造身份认同、社群归属感和让粉丝一次次回归的记忆,而社交媒体能极大增强这种效应,比如一段爆红的演唱会片段就能吸引数千人参与未来活动)”可知,音乐会经济的影响明显超越短期消费,延伸至文化层面。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Governments are quick to recognize this potential. Shanghai now combines major concerts with tourism packages, Seoul has built immersive K-pop experience centers, and smaller cities are investing in upgraded venues to attract big-name acts, understanding that live music can be a vital part of urban development strategies that combine cultural appeal with economic growth.(政府迅速认识到这一潜力。上海现在将大型音乐会与旅游套餐相结合,首尔建立了沉浸式K-pop体验中心,而较小的城市也在投资升级场馆以吸引知名艺人,他们明白现场音乐可以成为城市发展战略中至关重要的一部分,这一战略将文化吸引力与经济增长相结合)”可知,音乐会经济契合城市发展策略。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So, is the concert economy simply a passing trend, or does it signal the future of how cities grow and thrive? As more places try to catch this rhythm, maybe it’s time to ask — how much of our economic future will be written on the music stage?(那么,音乐会经济仅仅是一个短暂的趋势,还是预示着城市将如何发展和繁荣的未来?随着越来越多的地方试图跟上这一节奏,也许是时候问问——我们的经济未来有多少将由音乐舞台来书写?)”可知,作者通过提问暗示对音乐会经济未来的乐观态度。故选C。
D
After astonishing breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, many people worry that they will be replaced by AI. Global Google searches for “is my job safe?” have doubled in recent months, as people fear that they will be replaced with large language models (LLMs). In a recent paper Tyna Eloundou of OpenAI and colleagues say that “around 80% of the US workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of LLMs”.
Economists, however, tend to enjoy making predictions about automation more than they enjoy testing them. In the early 2010s many of them loudly predicted that robots would kill jobs by the millions, only to fall silent when employment rates across the rich world rose to all-time highs.
Few of the doom-mongers (末日论者) have a good explanation for why countries with the highest rates of tech usage around the globe, such as Japan, Singapore and the Republic of Korea, consistently have among the lowest rates of unemployment.
Here we introduce our first attempt at tracking AI’s impact on jobs. Using American data on employment by occupation, we single out white-collar workers.
White-collar roles are thought to be especially sensitive to generative AI, which is becoming ever better at logical reasoning and creativity. However, there is as yet little evidence of an AI hit to employment. In the spring of 2020 white-collar jobs rose, as many people in service occupations lost their job at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. And in the past year the white-collar share of employment in professions thought to be at risk from generative AI has risen by 0.5%.
Of course, it’s still early days for generative AI. Few firms yet use generative Al tools at large scale, so the impact on jobs could merely be delayed.
Another possibility, however, is that these new technologies will end up destroying only a small number of roles. While Al may be efficient at some tasks, it may be less good at others, such as management and working out what others need.
AI could even have a positive effect on jobs. If workers using it become more efficient, profits at their company could rise which would then allow bosses to ramp up hiring.
A recent survey by Experis, an IT-recruitment firm, points to this possibility. More than half of Britain’s employers expect AI technologies to have a positive impact on the number of their staff over the next two years, it finds.
To see how it all shakes out, we will publish updates to this analysis every few months. But for now, a job apocalypse seems a long way off.
32. In terms of artificial intelligence, people worry about ______.
A. how to avoid being replaced by machines
B. how to keep up with the trend of technology
C. how to master new technological skills
D. how to earn higher wages by using technology
33. Economists’ predictions about automation show that ______.
A. machines prove to deal a blow to employment
B. technological breakthroughs bring an economic boom
C. economic theories don’t work well in practice
D. it is difficult to clarify the impact of machines on jobs
34. According to the text, since the spring of 2020, white-collar jobs ______.
A. have become more diverse B. have decreased in number
C. have been threatened by service jobs D. have not suffered noticeable losses
35. How may artificial intelligence influence employment?
A It may cause mass unemployment. B. It may create new jobs for people.
C. It may enable employers to hire more. D. It may decrease people’s salaries.
36. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Boy Cries Wolf: Generative Al is not yet killing jobs
B. Batten Down the Hatches: Generative AI will replace most of human jobs
C. Generative AI: The greatest threat to white-collar workers.
D. Generative AI: The greatest invention of the 20th century
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. C 36. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了人工智能对就业的影响。

In a recent paper Tyna Eloundou of OpenAI and colleagues say that “around 80% of the US workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of LLMs”.(在人工智能取得惊人突破之后,许多人担心他们将被人工智能取代。谷歌搜索“我的工作安全吗?”的数量在最近几个月翻了一番,因为人们担心它们将被大型语言模型(LLMs)所取代。在最近的一篇论文中,OpenAI的Tyna Eloundou和他的同事说,“大约80%的美国劳动力至少有10%的工作任务可能会受到引入人工智能的影响。”)”可知,许多人担心他们会被AI取代,因此他们担心如何避免被机器取代。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Economists, however, tend to enjoy making predictions about automation more than they enjoy testing them. In the early 2010s many of them loudly predicted that robots would kill jobs by the millions, only to fall silent when employment rates across the rich world rose to all-time highs.(然而,经济学家更喜欢预测自动化,而不是测试自动化。在2010年代初,他们中的许多人大声预测机器人将夺走数百万人的工作,但当发达国家的就业率升至历史最高水平时,他们却沉默了)”可知,经济学家喜欢预测自动化但不喜欢测试,之前预测机器人会消灭数百万工作机会,但实际上就业率却上升了,这表明机器对工作岗位的影响很难明确。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“White-collar roles are thought to be especially sensitive to generative AI, which is becoming ever better at logical reasoning and creativity. However, there is as yet little evidence of an AI hit to employment. In the spring of 2020 white-collar jobs rose, as many people in service occupations lost their job at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. And in the past year the white-collar share of employment in professions thought to be at risk from generative AI has risen by 0.5%.(白领角色被认为对生成式人工智能特别敏感,因为生成式人工智能在逻辑推理和创造力方面正变得越来越好。然而,目前几乎没有证据表明人工智能对就业造成了冲击。2020年春季,白领岗位增加,因为许多服务行业的人在covid -19大流行开始时失去了工作。在过去的一年里,被认为受到人工智能威胁的职业中,白领所占的比例上升了0.5%)”可知,尽管有人预测生成式人工智能将对白领工作产生影响,但实际上在2020年春季以来,白领工作并没有受到明显的冲击,甚至在被认为受到生成式人工智能威胁的职业中,白领工作的比例还上升了0.5%。因此,可以得出结论,白领工作自2020年春季以来并未遭受明显损失。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“AI could even have a positive effect on jobs. If workers using it become more efficient, profits at their company could rise which would then allow bosses to ram p up hiring.(人工智能甚至可能对就业产生积极影响。如果使用它的员工变得更有效率,公司的利润就会上升,这将使老板们能够加快招聘)”以及倒数第二段“A recent survey by Experis, an IT-recruitment firm, points to this possibility. More than half of Britain’s employers expect AI technologies to have a positive impact on the number of their staff over the next two years, it finds.(Experis是一家 IT 招聘公司,其最近的一项重新认证调查显示,有这种可能性。调查显示,超过半数的英国雇主预计人工智能技术在未来两年内会对员工数量产生积极影响)”可知,如果工人使用AI后效率提高,公司利润可能上升,这将使老板能够增加招聘,因此人工智能可能会促使雇主雇佣更多的人。故选C项。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“After astonishing breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, many people worry that they will be replaced by AI. Global Google searches for “is my job safe?” have doubled in recent months, as people fear that they will be replaced with large language models (LLMs). In a recent paper Tyna Eloundou of OpenAI and colleagues say that “around 80% of the US workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of LLMs”.(在人工智能取得惊人突破之后,许多人担心他们将被人工智能取代。谷歌搜索“我的工作安全吗?”的数量在最近几个月翻了一番,因为人们担心它们将被大型语言模型(LLMs)所取代。在最近的一篇论文中,OpenAI的Tyna Eloundou和他的同事说,“大约80%的美国劳动力至少有10%的工作任务可能会受到引入人工智能的影响。”)”以及最后一段“To see how it all shakes out, we will publish updates to this analysis every few months. But for now, a job apocalypse seems a long way off.(为了了解结果如何,我们将每隔几个月更新一次分析。但就目前而言,就业末日似乎还很遥远)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讨论了生成式人工智能对工作岗位的影响,但目前还没有明确的证据表明它会大规模取代人类工作,因此最好的标题应该是A项“Boy Cries Wolf: Generative Al is not yet killing jobs(狼来了:生成式人工智能尚未扼杀工作岗位)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了荷兰学者库文霍芬多年研究中国西北民歌“花儿”的经历与愿景。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这种口头艺术形式用各种方言表达,起源于将女性比作花朵的歌词,六百多年来一直受到九个不同民族的珍视。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词lyrics,且在从句中作主语,指物,所以应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:2009年,联合国教科文组织将“花儿”列为人类非物质文化遗产。recognize...as...为固定短语,意为“将……认定为……”,所以空处应用介词as。故填as。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:库文霍芬不仅将花儿描述为一种鲜活的艺术,还将其描述为与妻子共同的爱好。空处修饰名词passion,应用形容词作定语,share的形容词形式为shared,表示“共同的,共有的”。故填shared。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这对夫妇在20世纪90年代发现了“花儿”,然后便踏上了在中国西北寻找这一瑰宝的旅程。in the 1990s为固定用法,意为“在20世纪90年代”,所以空处应用定冠词the。故填the。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:就在这对夫妇对“花儿”的研究即将取得成果时,库文霍芬的妻子于2012年因癌症去世,让他心碎不已。结合语境,“研究出成果”是“妻子去世”前即将发生的事,用过去进行时(was/were + doing)可表过去即将达成的状态,主语research为单数名词,所以be动词应用was。故填was bearing。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:“花儿”项目随后被搁置,成为他不愿面对的情感负担。空处修饰动词短语put on hold,应用副词subsequently作状语,意为“随后”。故填subsequently。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2017年,库文霍芬回到甘肃,意识到纪念已故妻子的最好方式是继续他们对“花儿”的联合研究。空处作表语,且主语为way,所以应用动词不定式短语to continue their joint research on Hua’er作表语,说明the best way的具体内容。故填to continue。
【64题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:我们有许多共同的愿望,比如我们渴望征服最高的山峰,沉浸在最具活力的“花儿”中。wish意为“愿望”,为可数名词,根据空前numerous“许多的”可知,此处应用其复数形式。故填wishes。
【65题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:我们有许多共同的愿望,比如我们渴望征服最高的山峰,沉浸在最具活力的“花儿”中。空处作bury的宾语,且与主语指代同一对象,所以应用反身代词ourselves作宾语,bury oneself in为固定短语,意为“沉浸于……”。故填ourselves。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:谈到未来,库文霍芬希望在海外推广“花儿”。speak of为固定短语,意为“谈到”,且空处在句中作状语,与主语Kouwenhoven之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填Speaking。

68. 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。
Eight-year-old Faris had to get on a ship to go to his new school. What would it be like at his new school? He worried about this for the whole journey. He was also anxious that the other pupils might make fun of his teeth as he had two extra teeth in his upper jaw. Would anybody want to be his friend?
Faris didn’t realise that many of the other boys felt just as lonely as he did. He eventually gathered the courage to start chatting with the other pupils, covering his teeth with his hand. He soon made some new friends.
His teachers believed that the best way to help students who were homesick was to cheer them up with sports and activities. Then there was music! The students had to take part in choir (合唱) practice, and that was when the music teacher noticed that Faris had an extraordinary voice. He hit every note perfectly!
When Faris was twelve, his friends told him about a new kind of music from Britain and America.

This sounded exciting to Faris — the shy boy liked the idea of people going crazy for him, too.
He and four of his friends slipped into the teachers’office one night. They gathered around the radio and switched it on… There was a rolling beat, a loud guitar. and a bouncing piano rhythm (旋律) that made Faris want to get up and dance. It was the most exciting thing in the world!
He and his friends listened to several rock ‘n’ roll songs before slipping back to the dormitory. They were too excited to sleep.

【答案】
“We should form a band.” Bruce whispered. Everyone’s eyes lit up with excitement as they nodded in agreement. They all thought it was a brilliant idea. Faris, though still a bit shy, was also eager to try. They decided to practice secretly in an abandoned classroom at the back of the school, where no one would disturb them. They searched everywhere for old instruments that they could use. It took them weeks to gather enough, but finally they had a guitar, a piano, and some drums. As they practiced, Faris realized that this was what he truly loved, and he hoped that one day they could show everyone their music. Finally, the school announced a talent show, and the boys saw their chance to shine.
Stepping onto the stage, Faris took the microphone and began to sing. His voice, which had been praised by the music teacher years ago, now soared through the air. The audience, who had come to the school concert with low expectations, were instantly captivated. The song they had chosen, which was a classic rock ‘n’ roll piece, had everyone on their feet, clapping and dancing. Faris knew that this was the moment he had been waiting for. What he had once worried about, like his extra teeth and being lonely, no longer mattered. All that counted was the music that he and his friends were creating, and the joy it brought to everyone.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
Poem A:
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth I knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth I knew not where;
For who has the sight so keen and strong,
That can follow the flight of a song?
Long, long afterwards, in an oak,
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Poem B:
I love three things in this world,
The sun, the moon and you.
The sun for the day, the moon for the night, and you forever.
For the world you are somebody,
But for somebody you are the world.
I drop a tear in the ocean
And the day you find it is the day I will stop loving you!
People laugh and people cry,
Some say hi while some bye,
Some give up and some always try,
Others may forget you but never will I.
Poem C (excerpt):
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should even come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Poem D:
I don’t know what your dream is.
I don’t care how disappointing it might have been,
As you’ve been working toward that dream.
Some of you already know that is hard.
It’s not easy
In the process of working on your dreams,
You’re going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain.
For those of you that never experience some hardships,
Don’t give up on your dream.
There are right times on the way to have come.
But they have not come to be seen, they have come to be past.
21. What does “a tear in the ocean” in Poem B imply?
A. I feel sad for your love. B. You mean everything to me.
C. I won’t stop loving you all my life. D. My love for you is as wide as the ocean.
22. Which poem is a suitable choice to encourage a frustrated friend?
A. Poem A. B. Poem B. C. Poem C. D. Poem D.
23. Which of the following themes is NOT covered in the four poems?
A. Friendship. B. Freedom. C. Choices. D. Perseverance.
B
Rosamund Pike delivered one of the most accomplished performances of the past few years in 2018’s A Private War, in which she played journalist Marie Colvin. In Radioactive, Pike brings the same level of stable commitment to an alternately fascinating and disappointing biopic (传记片) about French scientist Marie Curie.
Based on Lauren Redniss’s graphic novel (图像小说), Radioactive covers the well-known achievements of Marie Curie: her Nobel Prize for discovering radium and polonium, and her groundbreaking research on radioactivity. For those unfamiliar with her personal life, the film reveals lesser-known aspects, including her passionate partnership with her husband Pierre, a disgraceful affair that damaged her reputation, and her Polish roots, which made her an outsider in Paris. Though not an activist, Curie’s determination to be respected in a male-dominated scientific world aligns with women’s rights advocacy.
Directed by Marjane Satrapi, Radioactive attempts to translate the bold visuals and narrative style of a graphic novel into a vivid movie with mixed results. The film is visually striking, thanks to Anthony Dod Mantle’s filming skills — the glowing green radium is both stunning and tragic. Yet the storytelling lacks fluency when Satrapi inserts surreal time jumps, showing how Curie’s discoveries later influenced both medicine and warfare.
Pike delivers a strong performance, portraying Curie as brilliant but difficult; admirable yet not always likable. However, the film struggles with its uneven structure, shifting between biography and symbolic scenes that feel out of place. The irony of Curie’s story is that she hated suffering, yet her work led to both life-saving treatments and destructive weapons.
Ultimately, Radioactive’s biggest flaw may be its source material. The fragmented (碎片化的) style of the graphic novel doesn’t fully translate to film, leaving the story feeling uneven. While Pike’s performance and Curie’s legendary life make the movie worth watching, the execution (执行) falls short of its potential.
24. What is the primary subject of the film Radioactive?
A. The life story of journalist Marie Colvin. B. The history of radium and nuclear warfare.
C. A fictional story about a Polish scientist in Paris. D. Marie Curie’s achievements and personal struggle.
25. What does the underlined words aligns with in paragraph 2 likely mean?
A. weighs up. B. shrinks from. C. harmonizes with. D. interferes with.
26. What criticism does the passage highlight about Radioactive?
A. The actress’ performance is unconvincing.
B. Curie’s scientific discoveries are inaccurate.
C. The film is a flawed translation from page to screen.
D. The film fails to address Curie’s influence on equal rights.
27. Which section of a newspaper is this passage possibly from?
A. Health & Wealth. B. Opinions & Thoughts.
C. Agendas & Events. D. Technology & Gadgets.
C
Remember when concerts were just about singing along and maybe buying a T-shirt? Well, those days are over. Nowadays, concerts have grown into massive money-makers, turning cities into buzzing spots full of tourists, shoppers, and excited fans ready to spend.
Take Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in 2023. It wasn’t just a big show — it poured over $5 billion into the U.S. economy. Hotels were booked months ahead, ride-share drivers worked nonstop, and local restaurants couldn’t keep up with hungry fans. China has seen similar effects, with stars like Jay Chou filling arenas and boosting local economies during their tours. Through concerts, cities weren’t just hoping for a good time — they were chasing real cash, showing that a great concert can bring in more money than many ads and campaigns combined.
Some critics argue that this surge in economic activity is just a temporary spike that disappears once the last note fades, overlooking the fact that music’s impact goes far beyond immediate spending; it shapes identity, community, and memories that keep fans returning time after time, while social media can increase this effect greatly, as a single viral concert clip can inspire thousands more to join future events. This complex interplay of emotional connection and digital reach means the concert economy is about much more than money.
Governments are quick to recognize this potential. Shanghai now combines major concerts with tourism packages, Seoul has built immersive K-pop experience centers, and smaller cities are investing in upgraded venues to attract big-name acts, understanding that live music can be a vital part of urban development strategies that combine cultural appeal with economic growth.
So, is the concert economy simply a passing trend, or does it signal the future of how cities grow and thrive? As more places try to catch this rhythm, maybe it’s time to ask — how much of our economic future will be written on the music stage?
28. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Jay Chou’s tours?
A. To show only superstars boost the concert economy.
B. To compare Western and Asian music markets' impacts.
C. To illustrate concerts drive big economic growth globally.
D. To prove concerts are more popular than other entertainments.
29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 about the concert economy’s impact?
A. It is mostly temporary, tied to the concert period.
B. It utterly depends on cultural bonds from concerts.
C. It relies barely on social media for long-term benefits.
D. It clearly goes beyond short-term spending to cultural aspects.
30. What does the passage suggest about the concert economy’s role in urban development?
A. Limits to music-focused cities.
B. Fits into city growth strategies.
C. Ranks below traditional industries.
D. Demands heavy funding, low return.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the concert economy?
A. Pessimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic. D. Neutral.
D
After astonishing breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, many people worry that they will be replaced by AI. Global Google searches for “is my job safe?” have doubled in recent months, as people fear that they will be replaced with large language models (LLMs). In a recent paper Tyna Eloundou of OpenAI and colleagues say that “around 80% of the US workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks affected by the introduction of LLMs”.
Economists, however, tend to enjoy making predictions about automation more than they enjoy testing them. In the early 2010s many of them loudly predicted that robots would kill jobs by the millions, only to fall silent when employment rates across the rich world rose to all-time highs.
Few of the doom-mongers (末日论者) have a good explanation for why countries with the highest rates of tech usage around the globe, such as Japan, Singapore and the Republic of Korea, consistently have among the lowest rates of unemployment.
Here we introduce our first attempt at tracking AI’s impact on jobs. Using American data on employment by occupation, we single out white-collar workers.
White-collar roles are thought to be especially sensitive to generative AI, which is becoming ever better at logical reasoning and creativity. However, there is as yet little evidence of an AI hit to employment. In the spring of 2020 white-collar jobs rose, as many people in service occupations lost their job at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. And in the past year the white-collar share of employment in professions thought to be at risk from generative AI has risen by 0.5%.
Of course, it’s still early days for generative AI. Few firms yet use generative Al tools at large scale, so the impact on jobs could merely be delayed.
Another possibility, however, is that these new technologies will end up destroying only a small number of roles. While Al may be efficient at some tasks, it may be less good at others, such as management and working out what others need.
AI could even have a positive effect on jobs. If workers using it become more efficient, profits at their company could rise which would then allow bosses to ramp up hiring.
A recent survey by Experis, an IT-recruitment firm, points to this possibility. More than half of Britain’s employers expect AI technologies to have a positive impact on the number of their staff over the next two years, it finds.
To see how it all shakes out, we will publish updates to this analysis every few months. But for now, a job apocalypse seems a long way off.
32. In terms of artificial intelligence, people worry about ______.
A. how to avoid being replaced by machines
B. how to keep up with the trend of technology
C. how to master new technological skills
D. how to earn higher wages by using technology
33. Economists’ predictions about automation show that ______.
A. machines prove to deal a blow to employment
B. technological breakthroughs bring an economic boom
C. economic theories don’t work well in practice
D. it is difficult to clarify the impact of machines on jobs
34. According to the text, since the spring of 2020, white-collar jobs ______.
A. have become more diverse B. have decreased in number
C. have been threatened by service jobs D. have not suffered noticeable losses
35. How may artificial intelligence influence employment?
A. It may cause mass unemployment. B. It may create new jobs for people.
C. It may enable employers to hire more. D. It may decrease people’s salaries.
36. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Boy Cries Wolf: Generative Al is not yet killing jobs
B. Batten Down the Hatches: Generative AI will replace most of human jobs
C. Generative AI: The greatest threat to white-collar workers.
D. Generative AI: The greatest invention of the 20th century

Eight-year-old Faris had to get on a ship to go to his new school. What would it be like at his new school? He worried about this for the whole journey. He was also anxious that the other pupils might make fun of his teeth as he had two extra teeth in his upper jaw. Would anybody want to be his friend?
Faris didn’t realise that many of the other boys felt just as lonely as he did. He eventually gathered the courage to start chatting with the other pupils, covering his teeth with his hand. He soon made some new friends.
His teachers believed that the best way to help students who were homesick was to cheer them up with sports and activities. Then there was music! The students had to take part in choir (合唱) practice, and that was when the music teacher noticed that Faris had an extraordinary voice. He hit every note perfectly!
When Faris was twelve, his friends told him about a new kind of music from Britain and America.
“It’s called rock ‘n’ roll! ” whispered David. “The headmaster says it’s a bad influence and we shouldn’t listen to it…” Bruce showed Faris a black-and-white picture cut out of a magazine. It was of a handsome man with an impossibly cool haircut standing on his toes (脚趾) as he sang with his eyes closed. That guy’s called Elvis! The government wants to ban him because he makes his fans go crazy. He’s the greatest music star in the world! This sounded exciting to Faris — the shy boy liked the idea of people going crazy for him, too.
He and four of his friends slipped into the teachers’office one night. They gathered around the radio and switched it on… There was a rolling beat, a loud guitar. and a bouncing piano rhythm (旋律) that made Faris want to get up and dance. It was the most exciting thing in the world!
