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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Sound is measured in decibels (dB) (分贝) . There are many sounds in the environment, from rustling leaves (20 dB) to a normal conversation (60 dB) , from a screaming baby (80dB) to a subway train (100 dB) . Sounds that reach 85 dB or higher can harm a person's ears.
Permissible Exposure Time
How long can a person be exposed to a certain sound before risking hearing damage? According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, for every 3 dB sound Pressure level over 85 dB, the permissible exposure time is cut in half — before damage to Our hearing can occur.

Four Commonest Types of Noise Pollution
● Road vehicles are one major source of noise pollution This is more concentrated in urban areas where there is a much higher number of vehicles.
● Fireworks, used generally for celebrations, are beautiful. However, they can be very loud, and scary! There is no real way of dealing with it, as fireworks are used so briefly.
● Construction work cause loud and disturbing noises which can make it hard to concentrate. Most countries have laws in place preventing construction work from taking place between certain times.
● Animals also cause noise pollution. For example, if you live on a road where somebody keeps their dog outside for hours on end while it barks constantly, that's really annoying.
Obviously, noise pollution is a widespread issue. But the consequences of this pollution are often underestimated. According to WHO estimates, at least 1 million healthy life-years are lost annually from traffic-related environmental noise alone in western Europe. It is time that the effects of noise pollution on public health receive more attention.
1. What is the permissible exposure time to the noise of a subway train?
A. 8 hours. B. 1 hour. C. 30 minutes. D. 15 minutes.
2. Which type of noise pollution already has legal restrictions in most countries?
A. Road vehicles. B. Fireworks. C. Construction work. D. Animals.
3. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. There is a lack of attention to public health.
B Noise pollution is most serious in western Europe.
C. Noise pollution has become the deadliest pollution.
D. There is insufficient awareness of the harm of noise pollution.
B
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather
5. How did the bench get its various names?
A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions.
C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas.
6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
7. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end?
A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem.
C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order.
C
On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 quake — Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years — shook the island’s eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides.
When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. “But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.
Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies — including satellites that can see through clouds and at night — the researchers hope to enhance AI’s landslide detection capabilities.
Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images — visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed.
By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确度) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度).
He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. “Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法),” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.”
8. What is the key value of Nava’s AI method?
A. Ability to predict earthquakes.
B. Low cost compared to new satellites.
C. Potential to replace human responders.
D. Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A detailed description of how satellites operate.
B The advantages of visual images over radar data.
C. The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data.
D. The history of using satellites for landslide detection.
10. What can we know about Nava’s AI-powered model from paragraph 5?
A. It is still in development. B. It has been used just once.
C. It is an alternative of satellite images. D. Its significance has been underestimated.
11. What do Nava’s words imply?
A. The model’s performance is not satisfactory.
B. Developers should have more trust in the model.
C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s internal logic.
D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged.
D
For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries?
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers?
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries?
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Life! It’s a lot of fun but it can also be challenging. ____16____ Life can let us down and can sometimes fail to deliver what we were hoping for. That’s just the way it is . But sometimes the problems that trouble us are the ones that we create in our own minds so maybe it’s time to stop blaming others, bad luck, or whatever, and look to ourselves. Here are a few simple tips to change the way we live for the better.
“My life’s a mess. I just wish I could disappear”; “Why do these things always happen to me?” Thoughts like these help no one. Overdramatising (过分夸大) a situation only makes it worse. Try and put things into perspective a little, take a step back, sleep on it, or ask a friend for help. ____17____
So your teacher didn’t give you the part in the school play that you really wanted. Well, that’s a shame. ____18____ Maybe there were other students who were more suited to the role. Similarly, when your football team loses, they don’t lose just to upset you. Things go wrong for a million and one different reasons. It’s not all about you.
No one gets it right all of the time, and that includes you! So don’t expect life to always work out the way you think it should. ____19____ If you’re not living up to your own expectations, be kind to yourself.
____20____ And next time life doesn’t go exactly the way you want it to, try and use one or two. It’s time to take control of your life.
A. So keep these tips in mind.
B. Things don’t always go our way.
C. Things are never as bad as they seem.
D. Open your mind to other possibilities.
E. If others let you down, be kind to them.
F. There’s nothing you can do to change the past.
G. But it doesn’t mean your teacher doesn’t like you.

I scan the water in Australia’s Kakadu National Park, in search of an ancient ___21___: a saltwater crocodile (鳄鱼). No ripples (涟漪), no sound. But I know it’s there. ___22___, just beneath the surface. It could even be ___23___ me right now.

With explosive tail power and the ability to stay underwater for hours, their ___25___ has remained unchanged for 95 million years. ___26___: these animals are built for the kill.
As I continue to scan the water, I see ___27___: a soft ripple. Then, just a few metres away, two eyes break the surface as a huge head rises ever so slightly out of the water. The silent beast ___28___ me. I feel my heart racing. I take a few steps to the left; the crocodile silently follows. Then a few to the right; and again, it ___29___ me. I’m a dot on its radar. A possibility. A chance. I can’t help but feel awe for this ancient hunter as it remains motionless, waiting for me to make a ____30____, to take one step too many. It has almost endless ____31____.
In a world of constant change, where we’re always seeking innovation and ____32____, it’s easy to forget that some things are ____33____ just the way they are. When the foundation is strong, there’s no need to ____34____ much at all. Just look at crocodiles (but not too ____35____, please).

第四部分 写作(满分25分)
61. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.

● Road vehicles are one major source of noise pollution. This is more concentrated in urban areas where there is a much higher number of vehicles.
● Fireworks, used generally for celebrations, are beautiful. However, they can be very loud, and scary! There is no real way of dealing with it, as fireworks are used so briefly.
● Construction work cause loud and disturbing noises which can make it hard to concentrate. Most countries have laws in place preventing construction work from taking place between certain times.
● Animals also cause noise pollution. For example, if you live on a road where somebody keeps their dog outside for hours on end while it barks constantly, that's really annoying.
Obviously, noise pollution is a widespread issue. But the consequences of this pollution are often underestimated. According to WHO estimates, at least 1 million healthy life-years are lost annually from traffic-related environmental noise alone in western Europe. It is time that the effects of noise pollution on public health receive more attention.
1. What is the permissible exposure time to the noise of a subway train?
A. 8 hours. B. 1 hour. C. 30 minutes. D. 15 minutes.
2. Which type of noise pollution already has legal restrictions in most countries?
A. Road vehicles. B. Fireworks. C. Construction work. D. Animals.
3. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. There is a lack of attention to public health.
B. Noise pollution is most serious in western Europe.
C. Noise pollution has become the deadliest pollution.
D. There is insufficient awareness of the harm of noise pollution.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. D

Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage (车库), and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket (桶). It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想) ”, adding yet another name.
Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one dilemma-what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to _________.
A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for chats D. adapt to warmer weather
5. How did the bench get its various names?
A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions.
C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas.
6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose.
C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage.
7. What does “The Bench” represent by the story’s end?
A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A solution to the aging problem.
C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. A

On 3 April 2024, a magnitude 7.4 quake — Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years — shook the island’s eastern coast. Most buildings were undamaged due to strict construction standards, but mountainous and remote villages were destroyed by landslides.
When disasters affect large and inaccessible areas, responders often turn to satellite images to locate affected areas and prioritize relief efforts. “But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.
Since the earthquake, Nava has been developing his AI method alongside an international team. By employing a set of satellite technologies — including satellites that can see through clouds and at night — the researchers hope to enhance AI’s landslide detection capabilities.
Nava is training AI to identify landslides in two types of satellite images — visual images of the ground surface and radar (雷达) data, the latter of which can see through cloud cover and even acquire images at night. Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed.
By combining the cloud-penetrating capabilities of radar with the fidelity (准确度) of visual images, Nava hopes to build an AI-powered model that can accurately spot landslides even in poor weather conditions. His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (透明度).
He wants to build trust in the model and ensure its outputs are interpretable and actionable by decision-makers. “Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm (算法),” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.”
8. What is the key value of Nava’s AI method?
A. Ability to predict earthquakes.
B. Low cost compared to new satellites.
C. Potential to replace human responders.
D. Efficiency in processing vast amounts of data.
9 What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. A detailed description of how satellites operate.
B. The advantages of visual images over radar data.
C. The reasons why AI is needed to interpret radar data.
D. The history of using satellites for landslide detection.
10. What can we know about Nava’s AI-powered model from paragraph 5?
A. It is still in development. B. It has been used just once.
C. It is an alternative of satellite images. D. Its significance has been underestimated.
11. What do Nava’s words imply?
A. The model’s performance is not satisfactory.
B. Developers should have more trust in the model.
C. Decision-makers refuse to understand AI’s internal logic.
D. The gap between developers and users needs to be bridged.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Nava团队开发的AI方法在台湾地震后探测滑坡的应用、优势及待改进方向。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““But mapping landslides from satellite imagery by eye can be time-intensive,” said Lorenzo Nava, who is jointly based at Cambridge’s Departments of Earth Sciences and Geography. “In the aftermath of a disaster, time really matters,” he said. Using AI, he identified 7,000 landslides after the Taiwan earthquake, within three hours of the satellite imagery being acquired.(剑桥大学地球科学系和地理系的Lorenzo Nava说:“但是用肉眼从卫星图像中绘制滑坡地图可能会耗费大量时间。”“灾难过后,时间真的很重要,”他说。利用人工智能,他在获得卫星图像后的三个小时内识别出了台湾地震后的7000处山体滑坡)”可知,Nava的AI方法的核心价值是处理大量数据时效率高。故选D项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Radar images can, however, be difficult to interpret, as they use greyscale to illustrate contrasting surface properties and landscape features can also appear strange. These challenges make radar data well-suited for AI-assisted analysis, helping identify features that may otherwise go unnoticed. (然而,雷达图像很难解释,因为它们使用灰度来说明对比的表面特性和景观特征也可能看起来很奇怪。这些挑战使得雷达数据非常适合人工智能辅助分析,有助于识别那些否则可能会被忽略的特征)”可知,该段主要说明需要AI解读雷达数据的原因。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“His trial following the 2024 Taiwan earthquake showed promise, detecting thousands of landslides that would otherwise go unnoticed beneath cloud cover. But Nava acknowledges that there is still more work needed, both to improve the model’s accuracy and its transparency (清晰度).(他在2024年台湾地震后的试验显示出了希望,发现了数千次山体滑坡,否则这些山体滑坡在云层下会被忽视。但Nava承认,要提高模型的准确性和透明度,还需要做更多的工作)”可知,Nava的AI驱动模型仍在开发中。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Very often, the decision-makers are not the ones who developed the algorithm,” said Nava. “AI can feel like a black box. Its internal logic is not always transparent, and that can make people hesitant to act on its outputs.” (“通常,决策者并不是开发算法的人,”Nava说。“人工智能可能感觉像一个黑盒子。它的内部逻辑并不总是透明的,这可能会让人们在根据其输出采取行动时犹豫不决。”)”可知,Nava的话暗示开发者和使用者(决策者)之间存在认知差距,需要弥合。故选D项。
D
For some readers, a dictionary opens up a world. Dictionaries contain multiple pleasures, such as settling word-game wars by turning actual pages. For the rest, a dictionary is either outdated or strictly online. In 2012, Encyclopaedia Britannica stopped printing new editions, going digital-only.
In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”
When I was a child, I loved dictionaries, and so did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If your child was literate, one of the 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary or an illustratedCollins was the surest way to keep them happily occupied, setting them off on hunts for lost or forgotten words.
Fatsis sees dictionary-making as “a human endeavor (努力) stretching back to the third millennium BCE”. From the Akkadians to Sanskrit scholars, what dictionary makers hoped to do went far beyond the already tricky task of writing definitions: their job was to explain and track “the endless shifts in language”.
Change is inevitable, though Fatsis also asks what we lose in the name of convenience. He writes, “the job of the dictionary was firmly established… By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language. Between traditional search engines and AI-enhanced search through LLMs (large language models), the way we look up words, and find meaning in language itself, has changed.”
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.
12. What has reduced people’s reliance on physical dictionaries?
A. The decline of the print media.
B. The convenience of online lookup.
C. People’s indifference to accuracy.
D. Publishers’ insistence on going digital.
13. What can we infer about the future of real-life lexicographers?
A. Their workload will double.
B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened.
D. They need to upgrade their skills.
14. Why does the author stick to physical dictionaries?
A. They boost long-term memory.
B. They last longer than digital files.
C. They offer an escape from screens.
D. They give more authoritative definitions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Word in Favor of Dictionaries
B. My Love for Looking up Words
C. A Best-seller on the Theme of Change
D. Human Endeavors in Dictionary-making

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象,分析了其原因,探讨了词典编纂者的未来,并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In his book, Unabridged: The Thrill of (and Threat to) the Modern Dictionary, American journalist Stefan Fatsis writes of the shift brought about by our decade-old dependence on search engines: “Definitions, good and bad, were a click away, and most people didn’t care or couldn’t tell which was which: expert research, scraped data, zombie (僵尸) websites, whatever popped up in a search.”(美国记者斯蒂芬·法特西斯在其著作《未删节本:现代词典的诱惑与威胁》中,记述了人类对搜索引擎长达十年的依赖所带来的变革:“无论是精良的释义还是粗劣的诠释,皆可一键获取。绝大多数人对此毫不在意,抑或无力辨别——专业研究、抓取数据、僵尸网站,凡是搜索所得皆照单全收。”)”可知,网络搜索的便捷性使人们只需点击一下就能获取定义,从而减少了对纸质词典的依赖。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“By the time I finished this book, it wasn’t clear how much longer flesh-bone-and-blood lexicographers would be needed to document the march of the English language.(等我写完这本书时,已无法确定,人们还需要有血有肉的词典编纂者多久,来记录英语语言的发展进程)”可知,作者不确定现实中的词典编纂者还能被需要多久,由此可推知,现实生活中的词典编纂者的生存受到了威胁。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊,也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知,作者坚持使用纸质词典是因为它们提供了从屏幕中解脱出来的机会,是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容的天堂。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictionaries. Like encyclopedias and atlases, the best of them have long moved online. Indeed, the starting points of most search engines were the encyclopedias and dictionaries compiled (编纂) by experts. But I plan to hold on to my beloved, dog-eared physical dictionaries — such priceless time capsules, one of the last paradises of freedom from the endless scroll of digital content.(我们无法断言人类仍需要实体词典。正如百科全书与地图册,其中最优秀的早已迁移至线上。事实上,多数搜索引擎的起点正是专家编纂的词典与百科全书。但我仍打算保留我那本心爱的、书页卷角的纸质词典——它就像无比珍贵的时光胶囊,也是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一)”可知,文章主要讨论了数字时代纸质词典的使用减少现象,并表达了作者对纸质词典的珍视,认为它们是无比珍贵的时光胶囊,是摆脱无休无止滚动的数字内容后,仅存的自由天堂之一,A项“A Word in Favor of Dictionaries(为纸质词典正名)”概括了文章的主旨,适合作为标题。故选A项。

第四部分 写作(满分25分)
61. 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。
The last lesson of the day was PE class. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White.
That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. Every time he jumped, he would stumble a little, but he never stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his posture, then tried again. Mary thought about how Tom was willing to take on something he wasn’t good at just to help his class. She felt a little ashamed of herself—she was scared of showing her bad handwriting, but what if she could try her best like Tom? Maybe the bulletin board wouldn’t be perfect, but she could put her heart into it. The nervous feeling in her stomach slowly faded, and a new sense of determination took its place. She turned around and headed straight for the teachers’ office, her steps no longer hesitant.
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Ms. White was sitting at her desk, grading papers. When she saw Mary, she looked up and smiled, “Have you made your decision?” Mary took a deep breath and nodded firmly, “Yes, Ms. White. I’d like to take charge of the class bulletin board.” She then added, “My handwriting isn’t good, but I’ll practice and do my best to make it nice. I want to help our class, just like Tom is helping his.” Ms. White’s eyes lit up with pride. She stood up and patted Mary’s shoulder, “That’s what I wanted to hear, Mary. Bravery to try is more important than being perfect. I’ll be right here to help you.” Mary left the office with a big smile on her face, already looking forward to starting her new task.
