B "The only constant is change."British architect Norman Foster says this is his family's motto ()Now in his early 90s,Foster still remains true to many of the principles that guided him at the start of a career that began more than half a century ago.When he started as an architect,he believed that simply giving people a nice view to look at would make them happier.Now,he says 英语试题第3页（共8页） that's a scientific fact-and he's still providing those views today. Many of his most famous buildings are huge and glassy.It's a style we're now used to,but Foster was designing these light-filled creations at a time when Western cities were still dominated by thick blocks of concrete(混癡土).It is not because Foster has any problem with concrete-一he used lots of it in Apple Park,the technology giant's California headquarters.But that huge ring is also typical of Foster in that it brings the outside in,with vast windows and shared spaces looking out onto greenery. Perhaps his most famous building-the London building known as the "Gherkin"because of its similarity in shape to the fruit-has views that are slightly less green.But it itself can be seen from far and wide.Completed in 2004,it has become one of London's most recognizable buildings. Although some feel the Gherkin is out of place,it is in keeping with Foster's previous creations:the City Hall beside the Thames in London,his glassy reconstruction of the German Reichstag,and his 1980s design for the HSBC building in Hong Kong. Despite some health problems later in life,Foster continues to work."There is never enough time to do everything I would like,"he said in 2011.Since then,he has designed Apple Park, museums,an airport,and developed the concept for the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.If the only constant is change,Foster has been a force of it in the world of architecture-and he's not done yet. 24.What is Foster's initial principle for architectural design? A.Buildings should be highly cost-effective. B.Design styles should keep pace with the times. C.Arehitecture should be based on scientifie theory. D.Nice views should come first in creating buildings. 25.What is a feature of Foster's most creations? A.Fancy lighting decoration. B.Vast glass-equipped looks. C.Long architectural patterns. D.Massive concrete structural forms. 26.What is the author's purpose in referring to the Gherkin in paragraph 3? A.To display Foster's design principles. B.To contrast it with Foster's usual style. C.To show Foster's global fame. D.To explain Foster's family motto. 27.What can be learned about Foster's career? A.He prefers historical styles to modern trends. B.His career life contradicts the principles he sticks to. C.His early beliefs are challenged by new architectural concepts. D.His consistency contributes to his lifelong creative work. C Deep in the forests of a remote South Pacific island,a New Caledonian crow()carefully removes a branch,tears off unwanted leaves and fashions a hook()from the wood.The crow is a perfectionist:if it makes an error,it will throw away the whole thing and start over.When it's satisfied,the bird places the finished"hook"into a gap in the tree and fishes out a worm. The crow is one of the few birds known to make tools,a skill once thought to be unique to humans.Christian Rutz,a behavioral ecologist at the University of St Andrews,has spent much of his career studying the crow's capabilities.The remarkable ingenuity in how crows create and use tools that Rutz observed changed his understanding of what birds can do.He started wondering if there might be other outstanding animal capacities.The crows live in complex social groups and may pass tool-making techniques on to their young.Experiments have also shown that different crow groups around the island have distinct vocalizations ()Rutz wanted to know whether these dialects could help explain cultural differences in tool-making among the groups. New technology powered by Al is ready to provide exactly these kinds of insights.Whether 英语试题第4页（共8页） animals communicate with one another in ways we might be able to understand is a question of lasting fascination.But with recent breakthroughs in AI,"people realize that we are at the point of fairly major advances in regard to understanding animals'communicative behavior,"Rutz says. Al may soon make it possible to reveal things like crow calls.Scientists,biologists and conservation experts are collecting a wide range of data from a variety of species and building machine learning models to analyze them.Some groups like the Project Cetacean Translation Initiative are trying to understand a particular species,in this case the sperm whale. Decoding animal vocalizations could aid conservation and welfare efforts.It could also have a surprising impact on us.The power of AI to reshape our understanding of animals will have a similar effect.These tools are going to change the way that we see ourselves in relation to everything. 28.Why does the author mention a crow in paragraph 1? A.To demonstrate a crow's daily routine.B.To detail the hunting process of a crow. C.To describe the social structure of crows.D.To highlight crows'tool-making skills 29.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word "ingenuity"in paragraph 2? A.Challenge.B.Similarity. C.Brilliance. D.Adaptability. 30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The working principles of AI. B.Potential prospects for the animal protection. C.How AI helps to study animal communication. D.How crows'tool-making skill inspires new research. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Social Behavior of Tool-Making Crows B.AI Reshapes Animal Communication Studies C.AIs Role in Further Study of Crow Behavior D.Efforts Are Made to Improve Machine Learning D Skibidi,tradwife and delulu are among new words that have made it into the Camoridge Dictionary this year,confirming the increasing influence of the TikTok generation on the English language. For those hoping that such new words would be a passing Internet craze,the compilers( of the dictionary say they are here to stay."Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,"said its lexical programme manager,Colin McIntosh."We only add words where we think they'll have staying power." Older generations and those not on TikTok will just have to get used to words such as skibidi, which became popular thanks to The Skibidi Toilet,a viral animated video that began on YouTube featuring human heads sticking out from lavatories().Children now often use the word to add emphasis to statements.The Cambridge Dictionary defines skibidi as "a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool'or 'bad'or can be used with no real meaning as a joke.An example of its use is:What the skibidi are you doing?" People older than Gen Alpha (born after 2010)have to greet the use of the word with discouragement.The US writer and artist Lee Escobedo is one of them,and he wrote in the Guardian this year:"Skibidi brain-rot sums up a generation fluent in irony()but starved for meaning.This kind of chaotic media serves as both entertainment and a background worldview for young men raised online.Their minds normalise tricks as expression." The tradwife phenomenon refers to socially conservative influencers who celebrate looking after their husbands,children and homes.Delulu,the short form of delusional(),has become associated with a post truth world where personal beliefs are more important than reality. 英语试题第5页（共8页） "Brarchy",a term for tech industry leaders on whose tech platforms many of such new words are spreading,also makes il into the dictionary.Other new entries inelude "work spouse"for workplace relationships where iwo pcople help and trust each other. 32.What is the major function of paragraph 3? A.To prove the popularity of TikTok. B.To present an illustration. C.To offer an opposite point of view. D.To list ehnllenges of learning new words 33.What is Escobedo's attitude lowards skibidi eulture? A.Opposed.B.Unearing. C.Favorable. D.Mixed. 34.Who does the word "tradwife"refer to? A.Leaders of tech platforms. B.Those who value eooperation at work. C.Those who help manage family life. D.Advoentes for social equality 35.What does the inclusion of new words refleet? A.Language keeps pace with times. B.Sei-tech has ehanged social media a lot. C.New words are accepted by all ages. D.Old vocabulary takes on new meanings. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When it comes to Franee,Paris might be the first choice.Japan?Tokyo.Egypt?Cairo.Of course.these are all capital cities and the besl-known places in those countries.But according to travel experts,more people are choosing to skip capital cities.36 While Paris.Tokyo and Cairo are great places to visit with lots to see,they can also be busy and expensive.You might find a bit more space in one of the country's smaller,and perhaps less well-known cities.37 In fact,this idea is often referred to as "second-city travel",which is used to talk about visiting the second most popular city in a region.For example,you might choose Cambridge instead of London. Travel expert Roth shared that he took a trip to Venice in Italy,but instead of staying in the tourist hotspot,he visited the nearby city of Verona.38 He said he found a quieter place with "incredible food,landmarks and hidden gems." Others say you may feel more of a connection to a smaller city and get the chance to really interact with and learn about the local people.If you attempt a great second city,you might have to do a bit of research and make more efforts.39 All you need to do is make extra planning. 40 Therefore,you may need to take a bus or train,which could cost you a little more. That's why it may be a good idea to choose a place that's not too far from a big airport. A.The key is avoiding tourist crowds entirely. B.It might take some time,but rewards await you. C.Its unique charm struck his heart immediately. D.Normally,smaller cities are not easy to fly to. E."Second-city travel"gains their favor instead. F.Smaller cities may lack good tourism facilities. G.A few cheap items might also be available there. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最 佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Thirty-seven-year-old Logan suffered from a sudden and unexpected stroke (X).

Suddenly,Bob burst into the room,his face lit up with excitement."Dad,Dad,teach me how to catch the ball!"he shouted,his eyes wide with anticipation.Without taking my eyes off the screen,I casually replied,"In a bit,Bob.Let me finish this round.Come back in five minutes. Bob agreed and ran out of the room joyfully. Five minutes later,Bob returned."Dad,let's go!Let's play catch now!"he shouted,his enthusiasm visible.But the game was still in full swing,and I was absorbed in the action."Wait, son.The game isn't over yet.Come back in another five minutes,"I said.

When Bob came back a third time,I just opened another beer with no intention of moving.I glanced at a magazine on the coffee table.Its cover featured a large map of the world with a portrait of a famous person on the back.In a moment of frustration,I tore the cover into several pieces and threw them on the table."Put this world map back together,and then we'll play catch.Don't bother me until you're done,"I said,hoping this would keep him occupied for a long time Bob looked at me,his eyes filled with tears.He picked up the pieces and walked into another oom,saying,"Okay,Dad.I won't bother you until it's done." 生意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Surprisingly,Bob returned soon with the complete map A wave of shame washed over me before I made a quick decision. 英语试题第8页（共8页）
