The musical is based on the true story of Anna Edson Taylor, who in 1901 set out to be the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel (桶) of her own design.( Elizabeth Margolius导演的《迷雾女王》将在查令十字剧院首演。这部音乐剧是根据Anna Edson Taylor的真实故事改编的。1901年，Anna Edson Taylor打算成为乘坐自己设计的木桶穿越尼亚加拉大瀑布的第一人。)”可知，Queen of the Mist这部剧是由Elizabeth Margolius导演的，这部剧是根据Anna Edson Taylor的真实故事改编的，讲述的是Anna的冒险之旅。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“The Fishermen”部分的“In a small town in Nigeria, Ben and his three older brothers go to fish at a magical river. Unnoticed and carefree, they continued until the predictions of a mad man change the course of their lives forever. The Fishermen is based on the Man Booker Prize novel by Chigozie Obioma, who appears as an original new voice of west African literature. The play is directed by Jack McNamara.(在尼日利亚的一个小镇上，Ben和他的三个哥哥去一条神奇的河边钓鱼。他们不被人注意，无忧无虑地继续着，直到一个疯子的预言永远地改变了他们的生活。《渔民》改编自奇戈齐·奥比奥马的布克奖小说，他是西非文学的原创新声。该剧由Jack McNamara执导。)”可知，这部剧是以尼日利亚为背景，由Jack McNamara执导。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward, Groan Ups is a completely new play which looks at how people grow up and develop. Are we the same at 30 as we were 13?(由Kirsty Patrick Ward执导的《呻吟》是一部全新的戏剧，讲述了人们是如何成长和发展的。30岁的我们和13岁的我们还一样吗？)”可知，这部剧讲述的是个人成长和发展。根据这部剧的上演时间“Previews from Sunday, 20 September. Opening Saturday, 10 October.(9月20日(星期日)开始预演。开幕，10月10日星期六。)”可知，选项D是正确的。故选D。 B A year ago I moved from Saskatoon to Montreal, stepping into a different world. After all, Montreal has more people in it than the entire province where I grew up. I spent the first months getting lost going everywhere. Even the weather confused me; I didn’t know whether to leave the house with a raincoat, sweater, or a hat. And I’d never felt more alone. I knew no one in the city where I’d come for grad school (研究生院). I badly wanted to have a sense of familiarity. I wondered at first if I’d ever truly fit into this new city. However, over time, I began to adapt. Above all, I made friends, newcomers like myself. We have started to build a community of our own. I’ve realized that finding my place is a never-ending process — one that requires depending on old comforts, like food from home, and discovering new ones, like picnicking in the park. It also requires a supportive network of people willing to help each other out. This year showed me what a difference our community of guiding can make. Recently, at Sherbrooke station, a lady asked for directions to St-Denis Street. To my joy, I knew the way. In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线). After she left, I laughed at how things had changed. From getting lost on simple walks to confidently guiding others, this year will forever be a reminder that despite the ups and downs, it is possible to find a place for myself in a big city. 4. Why did the author feel especially lonely after moving to Montreal? A. Because the weather was always bad. B. Because he had no friends or family there. C. Because he couldn’t understand the language. D. Because the city was too crowded. 5. What helped the author most in adapting to life in Montreal? A. Making friends with other newcomers. B. Buying a detailed map of the city. C. Learning the local language quickly. D. Finding a part-time job. 6. Why did the author laugh after giving directions at Sherbrooke station? A. The lady told a funny joke. B. The lady thanked him in a humorous way. C. He realized how much he had grown. D. He gave the wrong directions on purpose. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Weather Confusion in a New City B. A Guide to Montreal's Streets C. The Challenges of Grad School D. Finding My Place in Montreal 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在陌生的大城市蒙特利尔，从最初的孤独、迷茫和不适应，通过结交朋友、建立社群，逐渐适应并最终找到归属感和自我定位的历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And I’d never felt more alone. I knew no one in the city where I’d come for grad school (研究生院). I badly wanted to have a sense of familiarity.(我从未感到如此孤独。在我来读研究生的城市里，我一个人也不认识。我非常想有一种熟悉的感觉。)”可知，作者搬到蒙特利尔后感到特别孤独是因为在那儿他既没有朋友也没有家人，一个人也不认识。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, over time, I began to adapt. Above all, I made friends, newcomers like myself. We have started to build a community of our own. (然而，随着时间的推移，我开始适应。最重要的是，我结交了像我一样的新朋友。我们已经开始建立自己的社群。)”可知，结交新朋友对作者适应蒙特利尔的生活帮助最大。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线). After she left, I laughed at how things had changed. From getting lost on simple walks to confidently guiding others, this year will forever be a reminder that despite the ups and downs, it is possible to find a place for myself in a big city.(我兴奋不已，于是给了她三条不同的路线。她离开后，我暗自庆幸事情竟然发生了如此大的转变。从在简单的步行中迷路，到能够自信地为他人指路，今年无疑将永远提醒着我，即便经历起起落落，在大城市里找到属于自己的位置也是完全有可能的。)”可知，作者从之前简单出门都会迷路，到现在能自信地给别人指路，这体现了作者这一年的巨大成长和转变；由此可知，作者在舍布鲁克车站指路后发笑是因为他意识到了自己的成长有多大，这个瞬间让他清晰地看到了自己的进步。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段“Recently, at Sherbrooke station, a lady asked for directions to St-Denis Street. To my joy, I knew the way. In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线). After she left, I laughed at how things had changed. From getting lost on simple walks to confidently guiding others, this year will forever be a reminder that despite the ups and downs, it is possible to find a place for myself in a big city.(最近，在舍布鲁克火车站，一位女士向我询问去圣德尼街的路线。令我高兴的是，我清楚这条路线。我兴奋不已，于是给了她三条不同的路线。她离开后，我暗自庆幸事情竟然发生了如此大的转变。从在简单的步行中迷路，到能够自信地为他人指路，今年无疑将永远提醒着我，即便经历起起落落，在大城市里找到属于自己的位置也是完全有可能的。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在一个全新的大城市蒙特利尔，从最初的孤独、困惑和不适应，通过结交朋友、建立社群，最终找到归属感和自我定位的历程。D选项“Finding My Place in Montreal(在蒙特利尔找到我的位置)”能够概括文章主旨，且与文章最后一句中“find a place for myself in a big city”相呼应，为最佳标题，故选D。 C Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today. With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly. Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose. Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently. By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots. Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off. 8. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene? A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness. B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling. C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods. D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids. 9. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths? A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size. C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules. 10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic. 11. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding? A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure. C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities. 【答案】8 D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章对比了过去与现在儿童骑行情况的差异，分析了如今儿童骑行减少的原因（交通风险、家长担忧等），并提出政府完善骑行基础设施、家长寻找安全练习场地等鼓励儿童重新骑行的建议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.(几十年前走在街上，你很可能会看到一个斯皮尔伯格式场景：一群学龄儿童骑着自行车沿着街区冲去，目标明确，而且没有佩戴防护头盔。如今，你不太可能看到这样的场景了)”可推知，作者提及该场景是为了通过过去常见的儿童骑行画面与现在的少见形成对比，体现过去儿童骑行的受欢迎程度。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership.(每年儿童骑行死亡人数实际上有所下降，但这很可能是因为骑行人数减少了)”可知，儿童骑行死亡人数下降的原因是骑行频率的降低，而非街道变安全等其他因素。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier.(现在孩子们很少出门。但他们渴望机动性，而具有威胁性的交通和父母的担忧经常阻碍他们。这种担忧是有根据的。道路上车速更快，交通也更繁忙了)”及第四段“Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with.(在过去的几十年里，孩子们可能没有明确的自行车道或其他保护性道路设施。但他们有更多的空间可以漫游，而且要对付的车辆更少，速度也更慢)”可知，现在家长因交通风险高而需要时刻担忧（即保持警惕）孩子骑行安全，与过去无需如此担忧形成对比，因此vigilant应表示“警惕的、留意的”。结合选项，Watchful(警惕的)符合语境。故选B。 11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.(与此同时，教授交通规则的任务主要落在了看护者身上。找到足够安全的练习场地可能很难，但只要稍加变通，家长们就能找到死胡同或废弃的停车场)”可推知，文章建议家长为孩子寻找安全的骑行练习空间。故选A。 D Poetry is maybe the most human of all human endeavors, which is thought least likely to be taken over by AI. But according to a recent study, this is not so, as non-experts rate AI poetry higher than poetry written by humans. The researchers chose 10 famous poets: Samuel Butler, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare... They then asked ChatGTP 3.5 to write poems in the style of each poet. And they asked the participants, who were not experts, to rate the work on 14 scales, like profundity, rhythm, originality, imagery, beauty, emotion, and overall quality. What was surprising indeed is that most of these non-experts, when they were not told whether a poem was composed by AI or by a human systematically, ranked the ones that were actually written by AI higher than the ones written by humans. What does this experiment show exactly? The researchers are very clear that these findings were limited to non-experts. The research team’s own explanation has to do with participants’ lack of expertise, concluding that these non-experts preferred the AI poetry because it was less complicated, and more straightforward This must be part of the story, but it’s not the whole story. Take another deeply human endeavor, wine-tasting, as an example. It was first reported that non-experts are very bad at making the simplest distinctions about wine, but shortly afterwards it was found that experts make the same kind of mistakes and sometimes they in fact made more mistakes. Plus, it is usually tricky to do experiments on aesthetic (美学) appreciation. This experiment was about the participants’ self-report about their experiences and, as we know from literally thousands of studies, self-reports can be misleading in most contexts. So this experiment was not about the real aesthetic experience of poetry, which is what really maters. It was about what participants thought about their aesthetic experience. The study is important and creative. But it doesn’t show that promising poets should abandon their passion. Not yet, anyway. 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The process of the experiment. B. The principle of the experiment. C. The subject of the experiment. D. The result of the experiment. 13. Why does the author mention “wine-tasting” in paragraph 5? A. To compare poetry with wine. B. To show non-experts’ preferences. C. To prove the research findings. D. To argue against the team’s explanation. 14. What can be inferred about the non-experts according to the text? A. They showed good aesthetic appreciation skills. B. They had prior experience in evaluating poetic quality. C. They rated the poems based on their aesthetic experience. D. They were expert in distinguishing AI poetry from human poetry. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of human poetry? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨AI诗歌在非专家评价中得分高于人类诗歌的现象及背后的争议。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The researchers chose 10 famous poets: Samuel Butler, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare... They then asked ChatGTP 3.5 to write poems in the style of each poet. And they asked the participants, who were not experts, to rate the work on 14 scales, like profundity, rhythm, originality, imagery, beauty, emotion, and overall quality.(研究人员选择了10位著名诗人：塞缪尔·巴特勒、杰弗里·乔叟、威廉·莎士比亚……然后他们让ChatGTP 3.5模仿每位诗人的风格写诗。他们还让非专家参与者从14个维度对这些作品进行评分，如深刻性、韵律、独创性、意象、美感、情感和整体质量)”可知，该段详细描述了实验的具体操作步骤，即实验过程。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“This must be part of the story, but it’s not the whole story. Take another deeply human endeavor, wine-tasting, as an example. It was first reported that non-experts are very bad at making the simplest distinctions about wine, but shortly afterwards it was found that experts make the same kind of mistakes and sometimes they in fact made more mistakes.(这一定是部分原因，但并非全部。以另一项极具人类特色的活动——品酒为例。最初有报道称，非专家在对葡萄酒进行最简单的区分时表现很差，但不久之后发现，专家也会犯同样的错误，有时甚至犯更多的错误)”可推知，作者提到品酒是为了反驳研究团队关于“非专家因缺乏专业知识而更偏好AI诗歌”的解释，说明专家也可能犯错，不能仅将原因归结于非专家的专业性不足。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“This experiment was about the participants’ self-report about their experiences and, as we know from literally thousands of studies, self-reports can be misleading in most contexts. So this experiment was not about the real aesthetic experience of poetry, which is what really maters. It was about what participants thought about their aesthetic experience.(这个实验是关于参与者对自己体验的自我报告，正如我们从成千上万的研究中所知道的，在大多数情况下，自我报告可能会产生误导。所以这个实验并不是关于诗歌真正的审美体验，而这才是真正重要的。它是关于参与者对自己审美体验的看法)”可推断，非专家是根据自己的审美体验来给诗歌评分的，只是这种自我报告可能存在误导性。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The study is important and creative. But it doesn’t show that promising poets should abandon their passion. Not yet, anyway.(这项研究既重要又有创意。但这并不意味着有前途的诗人应该放弃他们的热情。至少现在还不是)”可知，作者认为该研究虽有意义，但并不能说明人类诗歌会被AI取代，对人类诗歌的未来持乐观态度。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. How to Feel Better About the Way You Look If you feel insecure about the way you look, you aren’t alone. ____16____ They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. If you would like to become more confident about your body and looks, there are steps you can take to change how you think about your body. Accept what you dislike about your body. ____17____ It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. Learn to accept what you do not like without focusing on it. Be able to compartmentalize (隔开) to a degree by loving your body overall, even when you know it’s imperfect. Practice positive self-talk. If you feel bad about yourself, you may find yourself putting yourself down a lot. You may engage in negative self-talk, which means you find yourself saying things to yourself like, “I can’t believe how fat you are” throughout the day. Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. ____18____ Provide your body with nourishment (营养). Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. ____19____ Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. ____20____ If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. Seek out friends and family members who are positive. Try to spend time with people who feel good about their bodies and are generally positive. A. Turn to people around you for help. B. Surround yourself with supportive people. C. People have things about their bodies they dislike. D. Eating aims to give you a good mood instead of making you look good. E. People read a huge number of messages about beauty standards every year. F. Eating right can help you feel better about yourself, but do so with the right attitude. G. You may feel unnatural at first, but it raises your sense of self worth in the long run. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“如何改善对自己外表的看法”这一主题展开，通过五个方法帮助读者建立身体自信。 【16题详解】 后文“They can easily contribute to feelings of insecurity. (它们很容易导致不安全感)”主语为代词They，说明空处需要填入的话中有明确的被They指代的对象，且应为可数名词复数，即空处需要说明是什么导致了不安全感。E选项“人们每年都会接触到大量关于美的标准的信息”中的“关于美的标准的信息”恰好说明普遍焦虑的成因，是They指代的对象，符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文“Accept what you dislike about your body. (接受你对自己身体不满意的地方)”为第二段的总起句，是建立身体自信的第一个方法。空处开始展开说明为何要这样做，且后文“It is not realistic to expect yourself to love everything about your body at all times. (期望自己始终喜欢身体的每个部位是不现实的)”指出人不可能总喜欢身体每个部位的结论。空处既承接前文说明为何要接受对身体的不满，又为后文的结论提供前提。C选项“人们总有些身体部位令自己不满”满足此要求，衔接前后文。故选C。 【18题详解】 前文“Try to replace negative self talk with positive self talk. (尝试用积极的自我对话取代消极的自我对话)”指出练习积极的自我对话的方法。设空处是对前文的总结，需补充积极心理暗示的效果。G选项“最初可能感到不自然，但长期会提升自我价值感”既承接前文说明这种方法最初的感受，又点明长期的实施效果，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 前文“Many people with low self-esteem (自尊) try dieting or healthy eating as a means to change their bodies. (许多低自尊者通过节食或健康饮食来改变身体)”说明低自尊者的做法，后文“Think of healthy eating as a way of nourishing your body instead of a way of forcing your body to change. (要想着将健康饮食视为滋养身体而非强迫改变的方式)”提到在思想上要如何看待这种做法。这表明空处需要一句能承接前文，既表明正确饮食的作用，又能引出后文的过渡性文字。F选项“正确饮食能提升自我感觉，但需保持正确态度”，既承认饮食的作用，又强调思想态度上的转变。故选F。 【20题详解】 后文“If you’re feeling poorly about yourself, support is important. (若自我感觉糟糕，支持很重要)”提到支持的重要性，且最后一段整段都围绕寻求周围人积极的支持展开，说明处于本段首句的设空处应谈及关于支持的内容。B选项“让自己置身于支持性人群中”，与后文核心词“support”直接对应，且后文“Seek out friends and family members who are positive. (寻找积极的朋友和家人)”正是该建议的实施方式。故选B。 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。 It was an ordinary day. I took my dog for her usual walk around the block, ____21____on the solution for the writing class I was to teach that evening.

I had already tried several strategies for bringing the students together, but so far nothing had ____24____. In those days, I was always ____25____something: my teaching, the essay I was writing... It didn’t take much to turn on the tap (水龙头) of anxiety, and once ____26____, it could pull most areas of my life into its ____27____. About halfway around the block that afternoon, I suddenly ____28____ a dried sycamore (梧桐) leaf curled gracefully on the pavement. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen one since giant sycamores were ____29____ in our neighborhood. But that afternoon, instead of just gazing, I stopped to ____30____. The leaf looked so beautiful, poised in its balletic position. Then I continued my walk around the block. When I arrived home 10 minutes later, I realized that the ____31____ brought by gazing at the sycamore leaf was still with me.

His father, Alex, noticed how spoiled(宠坏的) his son was, so he decided to set things right. One day, Ryan was running late for school, but he was still busy playing video games. He was so distracted that he had no time to put on his socks and shoes, so the housekeeper did it for him. “Dad, I’m ready. Let’s go!” he finally shouted, taking his school bag. Alex had always driven him to his school even though it was just a seven-minute walk from their home. For Ryan, that would seem like a hundred tiring miles. That morning, to Ryan’s surprise, Alex asked him to walk to school instead. “What? No! I can’t carry this heavy bag to school on foot. Please drop me off, Dad,” Ryan said. But Alex turned a deaf ear. “You’re a grown-up boy now, Ryan! Just walk. Get used to it,” he said. Ryan had no choice but to walk along the road. He was out of breath when he got to the school gate. He came into his classroom and sat on the chair quickly. He was tired. He wasn’t used to walking, even for a few minutes. What a lazy and weak boy Ryan was! When Ryan was still resting, he found a boy he didn’t know entering the classroom in a wheelchair. The boy was Mike, who was new to Ryan’s neighborhood and lived very close to Ryan’s house. He moved in with his grandparents recently after he lost his ability to walk in a car crash that killed his parents. Regardless of his extremely bad luck, Mike decided to be strong, optimistic, confident, brave and independent. Although Mike was new in class, all classmates welcomed him warmly. Ryan never made a single friend all these years. Nobody liked him because he was lazy. The attention Mike got that day made him more upset. The next day, Ryan begged his dad to drive him to his school again. But Alex just shook his head. Quite disappointed, Ryan had to walk to school, 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just as he left home, he saw Mike alone on the road, pushing his wheelchair. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Encouraged by Mike’s words, Ryan decided to try to be independent. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Just as he left home, he saw Mike alone on the road, pushing his wheelchair. Curious, Ryan slowed down and approached him. And he helped push his wheelchair forward and asked, “Don’t you have any family members to help you?” Mike stopped and turned around. “Thank you! I don’t want to depend on others to do things for me,” he smiled. While continuing walking, Mike talked about his family.Then he explained his determination to be strong and brave. “I can’t walk, but that doesn’t make me weak,” he ended. Paragraph 2: Encouraged by Mike’s words, Ryan decided to try to be independent. When he informed Mike of his decision, Mike supported him. Together, they happily headed towards their school. The next morning, to Alex’s surprise, Ryan waved goodbye to him and walked with Mike to the school, without requiring Alex to drive him. With time going by, Ryan and Mike were inseparable and became best friends. And motivated by Mike, Ryan quit wasting time on video games and took on many duties without relying on other people. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了13岁的瑞恩是一个懒惰的电子游戏迷，他总是要求管家帮助他做任何事情。他的父亲亚历克斯注意到他的儿子被宠坏了，所以他决定纠正错误让瑞恩走路去上学。瑞恩在上学路上遇到了迈克，两人成为了朋友，瑞恩也改掉了坏习惯。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在他离开家的时候，他看见迈克一个人推着轮椅走在路上”可知，第一段可描写迈克和瑞恩开始彼此了解认识。 ②由第二段首句内容“在迈克的话的鼓舞下，瑞恩决定尝试独立”可知，第二段可描写瑞恩尝试独立的经过以及改掉坏习惯。 2.续写线索：看见迈克——推轮椅——询问情况——受到鼓励——尝试独立——步行上学——改掉恶习 3.词汇激活 行为类 靠近：approach/get close to 解释：explain/illustrate 依靠：depend on /rely on/count on 情绪类 勇敢：brave /courageous 惊讶：surprise /astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] While continuing walking, Mike talked about his family.

On Saturday, 10 October. B A year ago, I moved from Saskatoon to Montreal, stepping into a different world. After all, Montreal has more people in it than the entire province where I grew up. I spent the first months getting lost going everywhere. Even the weather confused me; I didn’t know whether to leave the house with a raincoat, sweater, or a hat. And I’d never felt more alone. I knew no one in the city where I’d come for grad school (研究生院). I badly wanted to have a sense of familiarity. I wondered at first if I’d ever truly fit into this new city. However, over time, I began to adapt. Above all, I made friends, newcomers like myself. We have started to build a community of our own. I’ve realized that finding my place is a never-ending process — one that requires depending on old comforts, like food from home, and discovering new ones, like picnicking in the park. It also requires a supportive network of people willing to help each other out. This year showed me what a difference our community of guiding can make. Recently, at Sherbrooke station, a lady asked for directions to St-Denis Street. To my joy, I knew the way. In my excitement, I gave her not one, but three different routes (路线). After she left, I laughed at how things had changed. From getting lost on simple walks to confidently guiding others, this year will forever be a reminder that despite the ups and downs, it is possible to find a place for myself in a big city. 4. Why did the author feel especially lonely after moving to Montreal? A. Because the weather was always bad. B. Because he had no friends or family there. C. Because he couldn’t understand the language. D. Because the city was too crowded. 5. What helped the author most in adapting to life in Montreal? A. Making friends with other newcomers. B. Buying a detailed map of the city. C. Learning the local language quickly. D. Finding a part-time job. 6. Why did the author laugh after giving directions at Sherbrooke station? A. The lady told a funny joke. B. The lady thanked him in a humorous way. C. He realized how much he had grown. D. He gave the wrong directions on purpose. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Weather Confusion in a New City B. A Guide to Montreal's Streets C. The Challenges of Grad School D. Finding My Place in Montreal C Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today. With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly. Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose. Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently. By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots. Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off. 8. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene? A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness. B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling. C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods. D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids. 9. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths? A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size. C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules. 10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic. 11. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding? A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure. C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities. D Poetry is maybe the most human of all human endeavors, which is thought least likely to be taken over by AI. But according to a recent study, this is not so, as non-experts rate AI poetry higher than poetry written by humans. The researchers chose 10 famous poets: Samuel Butler, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare... They then asked ChatGTP 3.5 to write poems in the style of each poet. And they asked the participants, who were not experts, to rate the work on 14 scales, like profundity, rhythm, originality, imagery, beauty, emotion, and overall quality. What was surprising indeed is that most of these non-experts, when they were not told whether a poem was composed by AI or by a human systematically, ranked the ones that were actually written by AI higher than the ones written by humans. What does this experiment show exactly? The researchers are very clear that these findings were limited to non-experts. The research team’s own explanation has to do with participants’ lack of expertise, concluding that these non-experts preferred the AI poetry because it was less complicated, and more straightforward This must be part of the story, but it’s not the whole story. Take another deeply human endeavor, wine-tasting, as an example. It was first reported that non-experts are very bad at making the simplest distinctions about wine, but shortly afterwards it was found that experts make the same kind of mistakes and sometimes they in fact made more mistakes. Plus, it is usually tricky to do experiments on aesthetic (美学) appreciation. This experiment was about the participants’ self-report about their experiences and, as we know from literally thousands of studies, self-reports can be misleading in most contexts. So this experiment was not about the real aesthetic experience of poetry, which is what really maters. It was about what participants thought about their aesthetic experience. The study is important and creative. But it doesn’t show that promising poets should abandon their passion. Not yet, anyway. 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The process of the experiment. B. The principle of the experiment. C. The subject of the experiment. D. The result of the experiment. 13. Why does the author mention “wine-tasting” in paragraph 5? A. To compare poetry with wine. B. To show non-experts’ preferences. C. To prove the research findings. D. To argue against the team’s explanation. 14. What can be inferred about the non-experts according to the text? A. They showed good aesthetic appreciation skills. B. They had prior experience in evaluating poetic quality. C. They rated the poems based on their aesthetic experience. D. They were expert in distinguishing AI poetry from human poetry. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of human poetry? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Critical. D. Doubtful. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.

His father, Alex, noticed how spoiled(宠坏) his son was, so he decided to set things right. One day, Ryan was running late for school, but he was still busy playing video games. He was so distracted that he had no time to put on his socks and shoes, so the housekeeper did it for him. “Dad, I’m ready. Let’s go!” he finally shouted, taking his school bag. Alex had always driven him to his school even though it was just a seven-minute walk from their home. For Ryan, that would seem like a hundred tiring miles. That morning, to Ryan’s surprise, Alex asked him to walk to school instead. “What? No! I can’t carry this heavy bag to school on foot. Please drop me off, Dad,” Ryan said. But Alex turned a deaf ear. “You’re a grown-up boy now, Ryan! Just walk. Get used to it,” he said. Ryan had no choice but to walk along the road. He was out of breath when he got to the school gate. He came into his classroom and sat on the chair quickly. He was tired. He wasn’t used to walking even for a few minutes. What a lazy and weak boy Ryan was! When Ryan was still resting, he found a boy he didn’t know entering the classroom in a wheelchair. The boy was Mike, who was new to Ryan’s neighborhood and lived very close to Ryan’s house. He moved in with his grandparents recently after he lost his ability to walk in a car crash that killed his parents. Regardless of his extremely bad luck, Mike decided to be strong, optimistic, confident, brave and independent. Although Mike was new in class, all classmates welcomed him warmly. Ryan never made a single friend all these years. Nobody liked him because he was lazy. The attention Mike got that day made him more upset. The next day, Ryan begged his dad to drive him to his school again. But Alex just shook his head. Quite disappointed, Ryan had to walk to school, 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just as he left home, he saw Mike alone on the road, pushing his wheelchair. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Encouraged by Mike’s words, Ryan decided to try to be independent. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
