B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，说明和介绍申请路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）的入学要求和申请流程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由Academic Record部分中的“A high school GPA of at least 3.0 based on 19 core units. If you have a 3.77GPA or above, you have a very good chance of being admitted.(基于19个核心单元，高中平均成绩至少为3.0。如果你的平均成绩为3.77分或以上，你很有可能被录取。)”可知，影响路易斯安那州立大学录取的关键因素是选项A.High school GPA(高中平均成绩)。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由“Application Submission”的最后一项“The application fee is $50.(申请费为50美元。)”可知，在入学申请过程中必须提供的是选项A(申请费)。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章标题“Application Requirements for LSU(路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）)申请要求”以及第一段“To apply for admission to Louisiana State University (LSU), you’ll need to consider the following requirements:(申请路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）的录取，您需要考虑以下要求)”可知，文章描述的是申请易斯安那州立大学的要求，属于申请指南，选项B符合。故选B项。 B One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 4. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions. C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response. 5. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A. Excited and eager to try them out. B. Annoyed and not interested in them. C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions. D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 6. What would happen to kids with the automation of language? A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase. C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历，表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you.(我思考了不断要求“别的东西”意味着什么。这不仅仅是有一个真正的人可以交谈。这同样关系到我们沟通的质量。它是关于思考一些事情，然后说出来，然后让另一个人思考并回答你一些事情)”可知，思考的过程有助于高质量的沟通。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good.(一开始，我告诉自己不要用那些预先准备好的回答。但很快，我急切发现它们很不错)”可知，作者不愿意使用预先准备好的回答，但最终意识到它们的方便。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.(如果我们的语言在整体上被自动化了会发生什么？如果我们不是生成回应，而是指向和点击会怎样？选择回应是一种思考方式，但它的准确性远不如生成内容所需的思考方式。它更多地与识别“足够好”的回应有关。而不是从空白的画布开始，我们是在评价事物。这并非毫无用处，但它无法替代以创造性方式进行思考。如果孩子们只进行评价，他们就不会有原创的想法。他们可能会成为出色的编辑，但很可能无法以全新的方式创造想法)”可知，语言自动化的孩子创造力会受到影响。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule.(没有简单的解决方案，当然也没有办法让自动对话时光倒流。然而，在我们前进的过程中，我们需要仔细考虑沟通方面的简单改变会产生怎样严重的影响。如果我们想帮助我们的孩子，我们寻找的“其他东西”——真实的人类对话——不应该是例外，而应该是规则)”结合文章通过作者女儿对于自动对话的自身经历，表达了对于自动对话的一些看法和观点。可知，A选项“我对自动对话的看法”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C A groundbreaking announcement for the recovery of lost ancient literature was recently made. Using a method powered by machine learning, an international team of scholars recovered the ancient Greek text on papyrus scrolls (纸莎草卷轴) from Herculaneum, a seaside Roman town in Italy. Herculaneum was covered by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Much of the ancient town remains underground. But in 1752, people discovered hundreds of papyrus scrolls in an ancient library. The papyri are so weak that many were destroyed by early attempts to access their texts. More recently, special photography has greatly improved their legibility. But until now, a method that would leave the scrolls complete without causing damage remained out of reach. Its development marks a significant breakthrough. The scholars’ achievement earned them a grand prize of $700,000 from the Vesuvius Challenge. The challenge is a machine learning and computer vision competition that uncovers the secrets of the scrolls. The competition drives technological development in the research by encouraging data sharing for smaller goals to benefit all competitors. Scholars gathered to share ideas and approaches to improve the results. So technology can become much more efficient in uncovering the entire scrolls. After 5 percent of one scroll was read in 2023, the challenge set a 2024 grand prize goal of reading 90 percent of four scrolls. But high-quality images requires special equipment that isn’t commonly available. Access to the right equipment is costly. The process of digitally opening and straightening a scroll, known as segmentation (分割), is slow. By current techniques which involve a significant amount of hands-on work, fully segmenting one scroll would cost $1-5 million. Papyrology is not only exciting, but also challenging and painstaking work. The role of an international team of scholars is to study and understand the ancient Greek text produced by the model and determine which approaches are the most effective. It requires mastery of ancient languages and ideas as well as the puzzle-solver’s ability to fill in the gaps. Perhaps there’s a fair part of new ancient thoughts that need to be pieced together into a text — letter by letter, word by word, sentence by sentence — before they can be studied more widely. That’s going to rely on scholars. 8. What does the underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Correctness. B. Flexibility. C. Readability. D. Difference. 9. What is the primary purpose of the Vesuvius Challenge? A. To support modern literature studies. B. To promote innovation in ancient text recovery. C. To encourage partnerships between science lovers. D. To raise public awareness of information openness. 10. What is the main difficulty in reading the scrolls? A. The absence of storage methods. B. The trouble of translating old writings. C. The shortage of historical written records. D. The lack of advanced affordable technology. 11. What is the key message expressed in the last paragraph? A. The challenge of training talents for papyrology. B. The need for skilled experts for ancient text studies. C. The value of protecting old items for educational purposes. D. The possibility of exploring ancient language development. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了国际学者团队借助机器学习技术复原意大利赫库兰尼姆古城纸莎草卷轴上古希腊文本的突破性成果，阐述了卷轴的历史背景、复原技术发展、维苏威挑战赛的作用，以及当前复原面临的困难和学者的关键作用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“The papyri are so weak that many were destroyed by early attempts to access their texts. More recently, special photography has greatly improved their legibility. But until now, a method that would leave the scrolls complete without causing damage remained out of reach. (这些纸莎草非常脆弱，早期为获取文本的尝试导致许多卷轴被毁。近年来，特殊摄影技术极大地提高了它们的legibility。但到目前为止，一种能在不造成损坏的情况下完整获取卷轴内容的方法仍未实现。)”可知，前文提到早期难以获取文本，后文说特殊摄影技术有改善，结合“获取文本”的语境可推知，“legibility”意为“可读性”。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The challenge is a machine learning and computer vision competition that uncovers the secrets of the scrolls. The competition drives technological development in the research by encouraging data sharing for smaller goals to benefit all competitors. (该挑战赛是一项机器学习和计算机视觉竞赛，旨在揭开卷轴的秘密。通过鼓励为实现小目标而共享数据，使所有参赛者受益，从而推动该研究领域的技术发展。)”可知，维苏威挑战赛的主要目的是推动古文本复原领域的创新。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“But high-quality images requires special equipment that isn’t commonly available. Access to the right equipment is costly. The process of digitally opening and straightening a scroll, known as segmentation (分割), is slow. By current techniques which involve a significant amount of hands-on work, fully segmenting one scroll would cost $1-5 million. (但高质量的图像需要特殊设备，而这种设备并不常见。获取合适的设备成本很高。数字打开并展平卷轴的过程（称为分割）非常缓慢。通过目前涉及大量手工操作的技术，完整分割一个卷轴的成本将达到100万至500万美元。)”可知，阅读卷轴的主要困难是缺乏先进且负担得起的技术。故选D。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The role of an international team of scholars is to study and understand the ancient Greek text produced by the model and determine which approaches are the most effective. It requires mastery of ancient languages and ideas as well as the puzzle-solver’s ability to fill in the gaps... That’s going to rely on scholars. (国际学者团队的作用是研究和理解模型生成的古希腊文本，并确定哪种方法最有效。这需要掌握古代语言和思想，以及解谜者填补空白的能力……这将依赖于学者们。)”可知，该段核心信息是古文本研究需要熟练的专家。故选B。 D In an era dominated by keyboards and screens, the decline of handwriting has sparked debates about its relevance. Yet research consistently highlights unique cognitive (认知的) advantages of writing by hand that digital tools cannot imitate. Numerous studies reveal that manual writing strengthens memory maintenance more effectively than typing. Naomi Susan Baron a linguistics professor, notes that people across Japan, Norway, and the U.S. recall information better when jotting it down (草草记下) manually. For instance, adults learning Arabic letters via handwriting outperformed typists in recognition and pronunciation speed. Similarly, students who take handwritten notes during lectures demonstrate deeper comprehension compared to those typing, as handwriting forces the brain to actively map sounds to letter shapes — a process critical for literacy development. Neurological evidence supports these findings. Using EEG scans, Norwegian researchers observed that handwriting activates broader brain networks, including regions linked to memory, attention, and motor skills, while typing only stimulates localized areas. Theta (4-7Hz) and alpha (8-12.5Hz) brainwaves, associated with learning and focus, were notably stronger during manual writing. This multi-sensory engagement — combining touch, vision, and movement — enhances neural connectivity and information encoding. Experts argue that handwriting’s tactile (触觉的) nature fosters deeper cognitive processing. Unlike typing, which allows for quick corrections and auto-completions, writing by hand requires deliberate planning of each stroke, promoting mindfulness and reducing mental shortcuts. Such “neural maintenance”, as Van der Meer terms it, not only sharpens memory but also delays cognitive decline. Educators are re-evaluating handwriting’s role. While some countries have dropped cursive (手写体的) instruction, others like Norway and parts of the U. S. are reintegrating it into curricula to support brain development. For adults, maintaining handwriting practice serves as a low-cost cognitive exercise, similar to physical workouts for the mind. In conclusion, handwriting remains a vital tool for optimizing brain function. Though digital tools excel in efficiency, the sensory and motor demands of writing by hand cultivate richer learning experiences, fostering creativity, focus, and long-term maintenance. As Baron emphasizes, preserving this skill safeguards not just tradition, but the fundamental ways we process and retain knowledge. 12. According to the passage, what is one significant advantage of handwriting over typing in terms of cognitive development? A. Handwriting improves typing speed. B. Handwriting enhances memory preservation. C. Handwriting increases reliance on technology. D. Handwriting reduces the need for literacy development. 13. What can be inferred about the impact of the activation on learning in paragraph 3? A. It enhances learning and focus. B. It makes learning more difficult. C. It only benefits children, not adults. D. It has a significant impact on learning. 14. What is the likely reason for the reintroduction of cursive handwriting in some educational curricula? A. To improve students’ typing skills. B. To preserve traditional calligraphy techniques. C. To increase the efficiency of note-taking in lectures. D. To support brain development through multi-sensory engagement. 15. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To highlight the cognitive benefits of handwriting over typing. B. To provide a history of handwriting and its cultural significance. C. To argue that digital tools should replace handwriting in education. D. To describe the neurological differences between typing and handwriting. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出在数字时代，手写能力虽下降，但研究表明其在认知方面有独特优势，强调手写对大脑功能及知识学习的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Numerous studies reveal that manual writing strengthens memory maintenance more effectively than typing.(大量研究表明，手写比打字更能有效地增强记忆的保持。)”以及“Naomi Susan Baron, a linguistics professor, notes that people across Japan, Norway, and the U.S. recall information better when jotting it down manually.(语言学教授娜奥米・苏珊・巴伦指出，日本、挪威和美国的人们在手写记录信息时，对信息的回忆效果更好。)”可知，在认知发展方面，手写相较于打字的一个重要优势是增强记忆的保持。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Neurological evidence supports these findings. Using EEG scans, Norwegian researchers observed that handwriting activates broader brain networks, including regions linked to memory, attention, and motor skills, while typing only stimulates localized areas. Theta (4-7Hz) and alpha (8-12.5Hz) brainwaves, associated with learning and focus, were notably stronger during manual writing. This multi-sensory engagement — combining touch, vision, and movement — enhances neural connectivity and information encoding.(神经学证据支持这些发现。挪威研究人员通过脑电图扫描观察到，手写激活了更广泛的大脑网络，包括与记忆、注意力和运动技能相关的区域，而打字只刺激局部区域。与学习和注意力相关的 θ（4-7Hz）和 α（8-12.5Hz）脑电波在手写过程中明显更强。这种结合了触觉、视觉和运动的多感官参与增强了神经连接和信息编码。)”可推知，这种激活对学习和注意力有积极作用，能增强学习和注意力。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Educators are re-evaluating handwriting’s role. While some countries have dropped cursive instruction, others like Norway and parts of the U.S. are reintegrating it into curricula to support brain development.(教育工作者正在重新评估手写的作用。虽然一些国家已经取消了手写体教学，但像挪威和美国部分地区等其他国家正在将其重新纳入课程，以支持大脑发育。)”以及第三段中提到手写能激活更广泛的大脑网络，结合多感官参与等内容“This multi-sensory engagement — combining touch, vision, and movement — enhances neural connectivity and information encoding.(这种结合了触觉、视觉和运动的多感官参与增强了神经连接和信息编码。)”可推知，一些教育课程重新引入手写体可能的原因是通过多感官参与来支持大脑发育。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet research consistently highlights unique cognitive advantages of writing by hand that digital tools cannot imitate.(然而，研究一直强调手写具有数字工具无法模仿的独特认知优势。)”以及后文通过众多研究和例子阐述手写在增强记忆、激活大脑网络、促进认知处理等方面相较于打字的优势，如第二段中“Numerous studies reveal that manual writing strengthens memory maintenance more effectively than typing.(大量研究表明，手写比打字更能有效地增强记忆的保持。)”和第三段中“Neurological evidence supports these findings. Using EEG scans, Norwegian researchers observed that handwriting activates broader brain networks, including regions linked to memory, attention, and motor skills, while typing only stimulates localized areas.(神经学证据支持这些发现。挪威研究人员通过脑电图扫描观察到，手写激活了更广泛的大脑网络，包括与记忆、注意力和运动技能相关的区域，而打字只刺激局部区域。)”等可推知，文章的主要目的是强调手写相较于打字在认知方面的益处。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。 Human behaviors are often interconnected. For example, consider the case of a woman named Jennifer Dukes Lee. For ten years, she never made her bed except when her guests dropped by the house. Occasionally, she managed to make her bed four days in a row. On the morning of that fourth day, when she finished making the bed, she also folded a few clothes lying around the bedroom. Next, she found herself washing dirty dishes. ____16____ She was experiencing the Domino Effect (多米诺骨牌效应). What is the Domino Effect? The Domino Effect states that when you change one behavior, it will activate a chain reaction and cause a shift in related behaviors too. In the words of Stanford professor BJ Fogg, “You can never change just one behavior. ____17____ When you change one behavior, other behaviors also shift.” The Domino Effect is not merely a phenomenon that happens to you. It is something you can create. ____18____ Here are three keys to making this work in real life: Start with the thing you are most motivated to do. Start with a small behavior and do it consistently. This will not only make you feel satisfied, but also open your eyes to the type of person you can become. ____19____ Maintain momentum (动力) and immediately move to the next task you are motivated to finish. Let the momentum of finishing one task carry you directly into the next behavior. With each repetition, you will become more committed to your new self-image. ____20____ As you try new habits, focus on keeping them small and manageable. The Domino Effect is about progress, not results. Simply keep up the momentum. Let the process repeat as one domino automatically knocks down the next. A. Celebrate your little progress. B. Human behaviors are often tied to one another. C. Break things down into smaller tasks when in doubt. D. It doesn’t matter which domino falls first, as long as one falls. E. This proves the role that creativity plays in the Domino Effect. F. Her act of bed-making had set off a chain of small household tasks. G. It is within your power to make a chain reaction of good habits happen. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. G 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何利用多米诺效应培养习惯。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Human behaviors are often interconnected. For example, consider the case of a woman named Jennifer Dukes Lee. For ten years, she never made her bed except when her guests dropped by the house. Occasionally, she managed to make her bed four days in a row. On the morning of that fourth day, when she finished making the bed, she also folded a few clothes lying around the bedroom. Next, she found herself washing dirty dishes.(人类的行为通常是相互关联的。例如，考虑一位名叫Jennifer Dukes Lee的女士。十年来，除了客人来访，她从不整理床铺。偶尔，她能连续四天整理床铺。第四天的早晨，当她整理好床铺后，她还叠了几件躺在卧室里的衣服。接着，她发现自己在洗脏盘子)”可知，本句总结上文，说明Jennifer Dukes Lee女士整理床铺然后引发了其他家务。故F选项“她铺床的行为引发了一连串的家务琐事”符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“You can never change just one behavior.(你永远不可能仅仅改变一种行为)”可知，此处讲述的是不可能仅仅只改变一种行为，结合下文的“When you change one behavior, other behaviors also shift.(当你改变一种行为时，其他行为也会随之改变。)，说明行为之间是相互联系的，所以B选项“人类的行为常常是相互联系的”讲述的内容符合语境。故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The Domino Effect is not merely a phenomenon that happens to you. It is something you can create.(多米诺效应不仅仅是一种发生在你身上的现象。这是你可以创造的东西)”以及后文“Here are three keys to making this work in real life(以下是在现实生活中实现这一目标的三个关键)”可知，本句主要说明了多米诺效应可以用于创造哪种东西，后文给出三个关键。故G选项“你有能力使好习惯产生连锁反应”符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Start with the thing you are most motivated to do. Start with a small behavior and do it consistently. This will not only make you feel satisfied, but also open your eyes to the type of person you can become.(从你最有动力去做的事情开始。从一个小的行为开始，并坚持下去。这不仅会让你感到满足，还会让你看到你可以成为什么样的人)”可知，上文提到从小的行为开始，并且坚持下去，说明开始的行为最重要，而不是具体哪一个行为重要，故D选项“哪个多米诺骨牌先倒下并不重要，只要有一个倒下就行”符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据后文“As you try new habits, focus on keeping them small and manageable. The Domino Effect is about progress, not results. Simply keep up the momentum. Let the process repeat as one domino automatically knocks down the next.(当你尝试新的习惯时，注意保持它们小而易管理。多米诺骨牌效应关乎的是进展，而不是结果。只要保持这种势头就可以了。让这个过程重复，因为一个多米诺骨牌会自动击倒下一个)”可知，后文提到保持习惯小而易管理，即把事情拆分成小的任务，更好完成。故C选项“当你有疑问的时候，把事情分解成更小的任务”符合语境。故选C。 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Young Jayce Crowder felt different in kindergarten because he had only one hand. At first, this didn’t bother him, but everything changed when a classmate began to ____21____ him daily. The boy’s cruel ____22____ left Jayce feeling withdrawn and alone, refusing to talk to anyone. “Why was I born like this?” he asked his mother, who felt ____23____ to provide answers. The answer came unexpectedly one afternoon. While watching the local news, they saw a(n) ____24____ about Trashaun Willis, a high school basketball star.

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. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述放学后，擅长跳绳的玛丽本打算拒绝怀特老师让她接手班级板报的请求，因她担心自己字迹差。途中，她看到不擅长跳远的汤姆为给班级争分，正主动练习跳远，汤姆认为重要的是尝试和为班级出力。这让玛丽面临与汤姆相似的是否承担任务的问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛丽站在那里，看着汤姆耐心又努力地练习。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛丽见汤姆虽不擅长跳远仍努力练习，羞愧自身胆怯，决心接办板报，走向教师办公室。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽满怀决心地走进教师办公室。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛丽决心走进教师办公室，答应负责板报并说明会努力，获怀特老师的肯定与支持，满心期待新任务。 2.续写线索：见汤姆努力练习——自我感到羞愧——决心接办板报—— 答应负责板报——获老师肯定与支持——满怀期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.尝试：try/attempt ②.帮助：help/assist/aid ③.擅长：be good at/do well in 情绪类 ①.害怕的：scared/afraid/frightened ②.焦虑的： nervous/anxious/uneasy 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B One day, my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on Amazon. “You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person,” I told her. She followed my word, and after a bit of clicking, she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned. In the process, I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter. I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”. It’s not only about having a real person to talk with. It’s equally about the quality of our communication. It’s about thinking something, then saying it, and then having another person think and say something back to you. It seems simple and yet it may become the exception, not the rule. In many cases, it already has. With the “quick responses” at the bottom of Gmail, potential responses often appear right in front of us. “Yes, sure.” “Of course!” or “I got it.” The responses, I’ve noticed, are mostly okay. Sometimes, they’re exactly what I want to say. Occasionally, they’re wildly wrong. At first, I told myself I wouldn’t use those pre-made responses. Soon enough, though, I got in a rush and found they were good. What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way? What if, instead of generating responses, we simply pointed and clicked? Choosing a response is a kind of thinking, but it’s far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content. It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response. Instead of starting with a blank board, we critique (评判) things. That’s not useless, but it doesn’t replace thinking in a generative way. If kids only critique something, they won’t have original thoughts. They may become great editors, but they’ll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways. There’s no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on automated talk. Yet, as we move forward, we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects. If we want to help our kids, the “something else” we searched for — authentic human conversation — should not be the exception, but the rule. 4. What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2? A. The clear goals. B. The exact expressions. C. The process of thinking. D. The immediate response. 5. How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses? A. Excited and eager to try them out. B. Annoyed and not interested in them. C. Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions. D. Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience. 6. What would happen to kids with the automation of language? A. Their creativity will suffer. B. Their critical thinking ability will increase. C. Their editing skills will hardly improve. D. Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. My Reflections on Automated Talk B. My Unforgettable Online Return Experience C. The Art of Guiding Children’s Creativity D. The Benefits of Using Automation in Communication C A groundbreaking announcement for the recovery of lost ancient literature was recently made. Using a method powered by machine learning an international team of scholars recovered the ancient Greek text on papyrus scrolls (纸莎草卷轴) from Herculaneum, a seaside Roman town in Italy. Herculaneum was covered by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Much of the ancient town remains underground. But in 1752, people discovered hundreds of papyrus scrolls in an ancient library. The papyri are so weak that many were destroyed by early attempts to access their texts. More recently, special photography has greatly improved their legibility. But until now, a method that would leave the scrolls complete without causing damage remained out of reach. Its development marks a significant breakthrough. The scholars’ achievement earned them a grand prize of $700,000 from the Vesuvius Challenge. The challenge is a machine learning and computer vision competition that uncovers the secrets of the scrolls. The competition drives technological development in the research by encouraging data sharing for smaller goals to benefit all competitors. Scholars gathered to share ideas and approaches to improve the results. So technology can become much more efficient in uncovering the entire scrolls. After 5 percent of one scroll was read in 2023, the challenge set a 2024 grand prize goal of reading 90 percent of four scrolls. But high-quality images requires special equipment that isn’t commonly available. Access to the right equipment is costly. The process of digitally opening and straightening a scroll, known as segmentation (分割), is slow. By current techniques which involve a significant amount of hands-on work, fully segmenting one scroll would cost $1-5 million. Papyrology is not only exciting, but also challenging and painstaking work. The role of an international team of scholars is to study and understand the ancient Greek text produced by the model and determine which approaches are the most effective. It requires mastery of ancient languages and ideas as well as the puzzle-solver’s ability to fill in the gaps. Perhaps there’s a fair part of new ancient thoughts that need to be pieced together into a text — letter by letter, word by word, sentence by sentence — before they can be studied more widely. That’s going to rely on scholars. 8. What does the underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Correctness. B. Flexibility. C. Readability. D. Difference. 9. What is the primary purpose of the Vesuvius Challenge? A. To support modern literature studies. B. To promote innovation in ancient text recovery. C. To encourage partnerships between science lovers.

Yet research consistently highlights unique cognitive (认知的) advantages of writing by hand that digital tools cannot imitate. Numerous studies reveal that manual writing strengthens memory maintenance more effectively than typing. Naomi Susan Baron, a linguistics professor, notes that people across Japan, Norway, and the U.S. recall information better when jotting it down (草草记下) manually. For instance, adults learning Arabic letters via handwriting outperformed typists in recognition and pronunciation speed. Similarly, students who take handwritten notes during lectures demonstrate deeper comprehension compared to those typing, as handwriting forces the brain to actively map sounds to letter shapes — a process critical for literacy development. Neurological evidence supports these findings. Using EEG scans, Norwegian researchers observed that handwriting activates broader brain networks, including regions linked to memory, attention, and motor skills, while typing only stimulates localized areas. Theta (4-7Hz) and alpha (8-12.5Hz) brainwaves, associated with learning and focus, were notably stronger during manual writing. This multi-sensory engagement — combining touch, vision, and movement — enhances neural connectivity and information encoding. Experts argue that handwriting’s tactile (触觉的) nature fosters deeper cognitive processing. Unlike typing, which allows for quick corrections and auto-completions, writing by hand requires deliberate planning of each stroke, promoting mindfulness and reducing mental shortcuts. Such “neural maintenance”, as Van der Meer terms it, not only sharpens memory but also delays cognitive decline. Educators are re-evaluating handwriting’s role. While some countries have dropped cursive (手写体的) instruction, others like Norway and parts of the U. S. are reintegrating it into curricula to support brain development. For adults, maintaining handwriting practice serves as a low-cost cognitive exercise, similar to physical workouts for the mind. In conclusion, handwriting remains a vital tool for optimizing brain function. Though digital tools excel in efficiency, the sensory and motor demands of writing by hand cultivate richer learning experiences, fostering creativity, focus, and long-term maintenance. As Baron emphasizes, preserving this skill safeguards not just tradition, but the fundamental ways we process and retain knowledge. 12. According to the passage, what is one significant advantage of handwriting over typing in terms of cognitive development? A. Handwriting improves typing speed. B. Handwriting enhances memory preservation. C. Handwriting increases reliance on technology. D. Handwriting reduces the need for literacy development. 13. What can be inferred about the impact of the activation on learning in paragraph 3? A. It enhances learning and focus. B. It makes learning more difficult. C. It only benefits children, not adults. D. It has a significant impact on learning. 14. What is the likely reason for the reintroduction of cursive handwriting in some educational curricula? A. To improve students’ typing skills. B. To preserve traditional calligraphy techniques. C. To increase the efficiency of note-taking in lectures. D. To support brain development through multi-sensory engagement. 15. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To highlight the cognitive benefits of handwriting over typing. B. To provide a history of handwriting and its cultural significance. C. To argue that digital tools should replace handwriting in education. D. To describe the neurological differences between typing and handwriting. 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。 Human behaviors are often interconnected. For example, consider the case of a woman named Jennifer Dukes Lee. For ten years, she never made her bed except when her guests dropped by the house. Occasionally, she managed to make her bed four days in a row. On the morning of that fourth day, when she finished making the bed, she also folded a few clothes lying around the bedroom. Next, she found herself washing dirty dishes. ____16____ She was experiencing the Domino Effect (多米诺骨牌效应). What is the Domino Effect? The Domino Effect states that when you change one behavior, it will activate a chain reaction and cause a shift in related behaviors too. In the words of Stanford professor BJ Fogg, “You can never change just one behavior. ____17____ When you change one behavior, other behaviors also shift.” The Domino Effect is not merely a phenomenon that happens to you. It is something you can create. ____18____ Here are three keys to making this work in real life: Start with the thing you are most motivated to do. Start with a small behavior and do it consistently. This will not only make you feel satisfied, but also open your eyes to the type of person you can become. ____19____ Maintain momentum (动力) and immediately move to the next task you are motivated to finish. Let the momentum of finishing one task carry you directly into the next behavior. With each repetition, you will become more committed to your new self-image. ____20____ As you try new habits, focus on keeping them small and manageable. The Domino Effect is about progress, not results. Simply keep up the momentum. Let the process repeat as one domino automatically knocks down the next. A. Celebrate your little progress. B. Human behaviors are often tied to one another. C. Break things down into smaller tasks when in doubt. D. It doesn’t matter which domino falls first, as long as one falls. E. This proves the role that creativity plays in the Domino Effect. F. Her act of bed-making had set off a chain of small household tasks. G. It is within your power to make a chain reaction of good habits happen. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Young Jayce Crowder felt different in kindergarten because he had only one hand.

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
