I spent years avoiding activities that I was sure would end in misfortune. I became a helicopter mom, checking the backyard for anything dangerous before letting David out to play — under my strict supervision (监督). Without my husband Don’s insistence, our son would never have learned to throw a ball. He argued I couldn’t keep watching over our four-year-old boy all the time and preventing him from doing sports and activities. Unwilling as I was, I knew he was right and left the “boy stuff” to Daddy. One day, David was carefully wrapping his Superman figure in a piece of bubble wrap (气泡膜). My first reaction was to take it away from him so he wouldn’t accidentally choke — until he spoke. “There! Now you’re safe when flying into pointy buildings,” he told his childhood hero. Suddenly, unpleasant realities struck me. I regularly refused all the different crowd outings because of panic over emergency. Though we went camping occasionally, I dampened their joy by wondering how many bears would kill us in our sleep. But seeing my son repeat my previous behavior by wrapping a superhero woke me up. That night, I suggested going to a concert downtown. “Aren’t you worried there might be a fire or something?” my husband asked, genuinely astonished. I knew I deserved that, but I let it go. “Always...But we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it.” That would become my new belief, no matter how difficult it was to say that first time. I regret the roads not taken because of my imagined assumptions, but my determination to change grows. I will always be grateful to my son and Superman, who made my increasingly smaller world become bigger, brighter, more positive, and happier. 4. Which picture best illustrates a helicopter mother according to the text? A. B. C. D. 5. What prevented the author from taking the bubble wrap away from David? A. David’s awareness of his own safety. B. Don’s criticism of her strict supervision. C. Undivided attention David paid to his toy. D. Overprotective nature mirrored in David’s act. 6. What do the author’s words in paragraph 6 suggest? A. Her strategy to avoid conflict. B. Her change in response pattern. C. Her transformation in parenting style. D. Her tendency to imagine the worst situation. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share her personal growth journey. B. To describe expectation for future life. C. To express regret for past imagined assumptions. D. To emphasize the impact of Superman on her son. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者曾是过度焦虑的“直升机妈妈”，总预想最坏结果、过度保护儿子，直到看到儿子模仿自己的过度保护行为，才幡然醒悟，决心改变心态，尝试接纳风险，让生活变得更开阔。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I became a helicopter mom, checking the backyard for anything dangerous before letting David out to play — under my strict supervision (监督).(我成了个“直升机妈妈”，每次让大卫去后院玩耍前，都要先仔细检查一番，确保没有危险，而且玩耍时我也得严格监督。)”可知，“直升机妈妈”表示一种过度担忧焦虑孩子状况的母亲，图片B“Tom has been out for 10 minutes. I’m wondering where he is now.(汤姆已经出去了10分钟了。我正想知道他现在在哪里。)”属于直升机妈妈。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One day, David was carefully wrapping his Superman figure in a piece of bubble wrap (气泡膜). My first reaction was to take it away from him so he wouldn’t accidentally choke — until he spoke. “There! Now you’re safe when flying into pointy buildings,” he told his childhood hero.(有一天，大卫正小心翼翼地用气泡膜包裹他的超人玩偶。我的第一反应是把它从他手里拿走，生怕他不小心呛到——直到他开口说话。“好啦！现在你飞进尖顶建筑时就不会受伤啦。”他对他儿时的英雄说道。)”以及第五段“Suddenly, unpleasant realities struck me.(突然，一些不愉快的事实向我袭来。)”可知，反映在大卫的行为中的过度保护的天性阻止了作者从大卫手中拿走气泡膜，故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““Aren’t you worried there might be a fire or something?” my husband asked, genuinely astonished. I knew I deserved that, but I let it go. “Always...But we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it.” That would become my new belief, no matter how difficult it was to say that first time.(“你不担心会发生火灾之类的吗？”丈夫惊讶地问道。我知道自己理应被这样问，但我没有多说什么。“总是会有担心……但真遇到问题我们再想办法解决。”这将成为我的新信念，尽管第一次说出这句话时是多么艰难。)”可知，第六段中作者的表述暗示了她在育儿方式上的转变。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I regret the roads not taken because of my imagined assumptions, but my determination to change grows. I will always be grateful to my son and Superman, who made my increasingly smaller world become bigger, brighter, more positive, and happier.(我后悔因为自己的臆想而错过了许多机会，但我改变的决心也愈发坚定。我将永远感激我的儿子和超人，是他们让我那日益狭小的世界变得宽广、明亮、积极且充满欢乐。)”以及文章围绕作者“从过度焦虑、预想最坏结果、过度保护孩子，到被儿子的行为点醒，决心改变、尝试接纳风险”的过程展开。可知，作者撰写这篇文章的目的是与大家分享她的个人成长历程。故选A。 C AI Morality (Oxford University Press 2024), edited by British philosopher David Edmonds, is a collection of essays exploring how AI will completely change our lives and the moral dilemmas it will set off, painting a picture of the reasons to be cheerful and to worry. In this excerpt (节选), Muriel Leuenberger, a postdoctoral researcher in the ethics (道德) of technology and AI at the University of Zurich, focuses on this very modern identity crisis. An AI that tells you who you are and what you should do is based on the idea that your identity is something you can discover — information you or an AI may access. But this view misses an important point: we also choose who we are. Constantly relying on AI recommendation systems might calcify your identity. By recommending products and other contents, you become more likely to consume, think, and act in the way the AI system initially considered suitable for you, gradually influencing you so much that you develop into who it took you to originally be. This is, however, not a necessary feature of recommendation systems. In theory, they could be designed to broaden the user’s horizon, instead of maximizing involvement by showing customers what they already like. In practice, that’s not how they function. Besides, by giving decisions to AI, you may fail to meet the moral demand to take responsibility for who you are. This concern weighs particularly heavy when making the most substantial decisions. But even in ordinary cases like selecting movies, music, books, or news, it would be good to put recommendation systems aside from time to time, which in turn, calls for research, risk, and self-reflection. An AI might state a lot of facts about you, but it is your job to find out what they mean to you and how you let them define you. The same holds for actions. Your actions are not just a way of seeking well-being. Through your actions, you choose what kind of person you are. 8. What does the collection of essays focus on? A. Potential benefits and risks of AI. B. Various dominant roles of AI. C. Recent policies on AI development. D. Individual estimates of AI’s future. 9. What does the underlined word “calcify” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Admit. B. Weaken. C. Remember. D. Reject. 10. What is the recommendation system designed for? A. Developing users’ broader vision. B. Prioritizing the most ideal choice. C. Highlighting existing preferences. D. Attracting consumers’ engagement. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A To prove the uniqueness of AI. B. To stress the huge influence of AI. C. To present the confusion brought by AI. D. To advocate independent thinking in AI era. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了《人工智能道德》这本书中的节选内容，探讨了人工智能对我们生活的改变以及引发的道德困境，重点阐述了人工智能推荐系统对用户身份的影响，呼吁人们在人工智能时代保持独立思考。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“AI Morality (Oxford University Press, 2024), edited by British philosopher David Edmonds, is a collection of essays exploring how AI will completely change our lives and the moral dilemmas it will set off, painting a picture of the reasons to be cheerful and to worry(英国哲学家大卫・埃德蒙兹编辑的《人工智能道德》（牛津大学出版社，2024年）是一本论文集，探讨了人工智能将如何彻底改变我们的生活以及它将引发的道德困境，描绘了我们应该感到高兴和担忧的原因)”可知，这本论文集关注的是人工智能带来的潜在好处和风险。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“By recommending products and other contents, you become more likely to consume, think, and act in the way the AI system initially considered suitable for you, gradually influencing you so much that you develop into who it took you to originally be(通过推荐产品和其他内容，你更有可能按照人工智能系统最初认为适合你的方式去消费、思考和行动，逐渐对你产生很大影响，以至于你变成了它最初认为你应该成为的样子)”可知，不断依赖人工智能推荐系统会让你逐渐变成它所认为的样子，而不是自己主动去选择和发展，这意味着你的身份会受到限制，逐渐“弱化”。所以“calcify”在这里的意思是“弱化”，与weaken含义接近，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This is, however, not a necessary feature of recommendation systems. In theory, they could be designed to broaden the user's horizon, instead of maximizing involvement by showing customers what they already like(然而，这并不是推荐系统的必要特征。从理论上讲，它们可以被设计成拓宽用户的视野，而不是通过向客户展示他们已经喜欢的东西来最大化参与度)”可知，推荐系统理论上的设计目的是拓宽用户的视野，故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“An AI might state a lot of facts about you, but it is your job to find out what they mean to you and how you let them define you. The same holds for actions. Your actions are not just a way of seeking well-being. Through your actions, you choose what kind of person you are(人工智能可能会陈述很多关于你的事实，但弄清楚这些事实对你意味着什么以及你如何让它们定义你是你的工作。行动也是如此。你的行动不仅仅是一种追求幸福的方式。通过你的行动，你选择了你想成为什么样的人)”可知，作者强调在人工智能时代，人们要自己去思考人工智能所提供的信息的意义，以及自己要成为什么样的人，而不是完全依赖人工智能。可推理出作者写这篇文章的目的是倡导在人工智能时代进行独立思考，故选D项。 D It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage restorers at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The team is committed to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and chipping (裂痕), as well as erosion (侵蚀) that is caused by changes in temperature and moisture of the caves. To restore a mural requires a multi-talented individual, and restorers should know painting, master the skills of craft and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the current situation of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.” Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetime,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the current look of the murals for as long as possible. 12. Why does the Dunhuang Academy restore the murals? A. To promote cultural exchanges. B. To help study the ancient Silk Road. C. To spread the spirit of Dunhuang globally. D. To keep it on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. 13. How does the author feel the restoration work? A. Creative. B. Traditional. C. Risky. D. Demanding. 14. What does Su suggest about restoring mural? A. It is advised to keep its current state. B. It is supposed to pursue a perfect look. C. Its missing parts should be restored in time. D. It can be repainted to fix its appearance. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Significance of Mural Preservation. B. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. C. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. D. The Experiments on Cave Conservation. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了敦煌研究院的文化遗产保护者对莫高窟文物的修复工作。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The team is committed to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy.(该团队致力于保护该遗址735个洞穴的45,000平方米壁画和2,400多个彩绘雕塑。这些文物是几个世纪以来古丝绸之路上文化交流的产物。“我们的工作，修复壁画和彩雕，是为了更好地保护洞穴，这向世界弘扬了伟大的敦煌包容精神，激励了现代人，”敦煌研究院院长苏伯民说)”可知，敦煌研究院修复这些壁画的目的是向世界传播敦煌精神。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To restore a mural requires a multi-talented individual, and restorers should know painting, master the skills of craft and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward.(修复壁画需要一个多面手，修复人员应该懂得绘画，掌握手工技能，并具备一定的化学和物理知识，能够识别问题及其相应的原因，并提供解决方案。他们还必须选择合适的材料和工具，并进行实验，然后才正式进行修复和评估效果)”可推知，修复工作的要求是非常高的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the current situation of the murals rather than repainting them.(修复应尊重原作，以保持壁画的现状为目标，而不是重新粉刷)”和““Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.”(“文物是历史的见证者，”苏解释说，“当你出于艺术的原因而追求所谓的完整外观时，你就会失去它们的关键意义。”)”可知，修复文物时应当保持其现状，而不是重新粉刷，追求完美。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage restorers at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.(这是一场与时间的赛跑，因为敦煌研究院的几代文化遗产修复人员都在努力保护莫高窟的艺术魅力，莫高窟被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产)”以及后文对修复工作的目的、要求等的介绍可知，文章主要讲述的是莫高窟的文物修复工作，所以C项“莫高窟的壁画修复”最适合作本文标题。故选C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。 Have you ever thought that taking short breaks during a walk could actually help you burn more calories? Scientists have discovered that short bursts of activity can burn more energy than continuous exercise. For example, several groups of quick walks or stair climbs for just 10 to 30 seconds use 20% to 60% more energy than walking nonstop for the same distance.____16____Similar to a car using more fuel when starting a journey, our body works harder at the beginning of any movement. This is because it needs to warm up our muscles and get into a rhythm. These short bursts of activity might not last long, but they require a lot of energy. ____17____As someone who sits most of the day, I used to think exercise meant hours at the gym. But when I tried replacing my afternoon coffee breaks with three 90-second stair climbs, something surprising happened.____18____My body adjusted to the activity, and what once felt like a struggle gradually turned into a manageable routine. As this happened, I unexpectedly felt more focused and energized throughout the day. These “exercise snacks” fit well into my busy schedule, proving that working out doesn’t require large blocks of time. ____19____Every stair climb or short walk wakes up the body. Health isn’t built in a day at the gym—it’s made through small, consistent actions. Simply replace one of your usual sitting breaks with just a single minute of walking, and you’ll be amazed at how small actions can reshape your physical vitality.____20____ A. Now I see fitness differently. B. Every step counts, no matter how short it is! C. This finding matches perfectly with my own experience. D. This happens because the body needs extra energy to start moving. E. Actually, short exercise breaks can increase your energy consumption. F. At first, even 20 seconds left me breathless, but over time, it became easier. G. The more time and effort you put into exercise, the more calories you will burn. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家发现短时间的间歇运动比持续运动消耗更多热量，并通过作者自身的经历来证明这一观点，同时倡导人们通过一些小的、持续的行动来塑造健康。 【16题详解】 根据上文“For example, several groups of quick walks or stair climbs for just 10 to 30 seconds use 20% to 60% more energy than walking nonstop for the same distance.(例如，几组仅持续 10 到 30 秒的快走或爬楼梯比不间断地走相同距离多消耗 20% 到 60% 的能量)”以及下文“Similar to a car using more fuel when starting a journey, our body works harder at the beginning of any movement. This is because it needs to warm up our muscles and get into a rhythm.(就像汽车在开始行驶时会消耗更多燃料一样，我们的身体在任何运动开始时都需要更努力地工作。这是因为它需要热身我们的肌肉并进入节奏)”可知，设空处是在解释为什么短时间的活动会消耗更多能量。D选项”这是因为身体开始移动需要额外的能量”符合语境，能够承接上文并解释原因。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据下文“As someone who sits most of the day, I used to think exercise meant hours at the gym. But when I tried replacing my afternoon coffee breaks with three 90-second stair climbs, something surprising happened.(作为一个大部分时间都坐着的人，我过去认为锻炼意味着在健身房里待上几个小时。但当我试着用三次 90 秒的爬楼梯来代替下午的咖啡休息时间时，令人惊讶的事情发生了)”可知，作者要讲述自己的经历来验证前面提到的发现，且引起下文作者的经历。C 选项 “这一发现与我自己的经历完美契合”符合语境，起到了引出作者经历的作用。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文 “My body adjusted to the activity, and what once felt like a struggle gradually turned into a manageable routine.(我的身体适应了这种活动，曾经感觉很艰难的事情逐渐变成了一种可管理的日常活动)”可知，设空处应该是描述作者一开始进行这种短时间活动时的困难情况。F 选项 “一开始，即使是 20 秒也让我气喘吁吁，但随着时间的推移，这变得更容易了”符合语境，与后文身体适应的描述相呼应。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Every stair climb or short walk wakes up the body. Health isn’t built in a day at the gym—it’s made through small, consistent actions.(每次爬楼梯或短距离散步都会唤醒身体。健康不是在健身房一天就能练就的 —— 它是通过微小而持续的行动实现的)”可知，作者对健身有了新的认识和看法。A 选项 “现在我对健身有不同的看法”符合语境，能够引出后文对健身的新理解。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Simply replace one of your usual sitting breaks with just a single minute of walking, and you’ll be amazed at how small actions can reshape your physical vitality.(只需用一分钟的步行代替你通常的一次坐着休息，你就会惊讶地发现，小小的行动就能重塑你的身体活力)”可推知，设空处是对这种微小行动重要性的进一步强调。B 选项 “每一步都很重要，无论它有多短！”符合语境，能够总结上文强调微小行动的作用。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共2节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I have always been intrigued by archaeology since I was little. The fact that archaeologists ____21____ history with their bare hands never fails to ____22____ me.

With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero. One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site (工地). “I think I can work here,” she thought and walked close to the manager. “Hi, are you hiring (雇佣)? ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe.“Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract (合同) to work a 12-hour shift (轮班). However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site. Every morning, after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks (砖块) on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming competition in school that required mothers to join. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear. “Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 para.1 A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. In the distance, he saw a familiar figure in worn-out clothes, covered in dust and sweat, lifted heavy bricks with her weathered hands at the construction site. As he drew closer, he realized it was his mother, Catherine. Catherine tirelessly moved heavy bricks with her ugly and rough hands under the scorching sun. Her face was covered in sweat, and she didn't even have time to wipe it off as she rushed back and forth, working tirelessly. Peter stood there in shock, unable to utter a single word. Meanwhile, a wave of guilt and regret flooded over him. He shouldn’t have said those hurtful words. On his way back home he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. Peter couldn't shake off the guilt and regret for his hurtful words towards his mother. He knew he had to make things right and apologize to her. The moment Catherine stepped into the house from work, Peter rushed up to her, gently took her hands in his and held them tightly. “Mom, I’m sorry” he murmured, tears welling up in his eyes, “I didn’t understand then, but now I see how hard you work for us. Your hands may be rough, but they are the most beautiful hands in the world because they care for us.” Tears welled up in Catherine’s eyes as she embraced her son, a wave of happiness washing over her. From that day on, Peter not only attended the school event with his mother but also stood by her side, holding her hands with pride. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了凯瑟琳一直呆在家里照顾她的三个孩子，但现在，她的丈夫在一场车祸中丧生，她不得不出去挣钱养家糊口。由于没有工作经验，也没有专业学位，她找到高薪工作的机会几乎为零。最后她不得不去建筑工地干活，而她的儿子彼得却嫌弃母亲的工作。直到某天彼得看到母亲辛苦工作，感到内疚和悔恨，向母亲道了歉。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，彼得走在回家的路上，一件意想不到的事情引起了他的注意”可知，第一段可描写彼得看到母亲辛苦工作，感到内疚和悔恨。 ②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，他一直在想该如何向母亲道歉”可知，第二段可描写彼得和母亲道歉，母子俩和好。 2.续写线索：看到母亲工作——理解母亲辛苦——感到内疚——道歉——取得原谅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看到：see/catch sight of ②意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①不知疲倦：tirelessly/indefatigably ②震惊：shock/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] As he drew closer, he realized it was his mother, Catherine.

B I always expected the worst in any scenes — focusing on the 2% death rate of a 98% successful surgery and visualizing my son’s mild cough as a rare condition. I spent years avoiding activities that I was sure would end in misfortune. I became a helicopter mom, checking the backyard for anything dangerous before letting David out to play — under my strict supervision (监督). Without my husband Don’s insistence, our son would never have learned to throw a ball. He argued I couldn’t keep watching over our four-year-old boy all the time and preventing him from doing sports and activities. Unwilling as I was, I knew he was right and left the “boy stuff” to Daddy. One day, David was carefully wrapping his Superman figure in a piece of bubble wrap (气泡膜). My first reaction was to take it away from him so he wouldn’t accidentally choke — until he spoke. “There! Now you’re safe when flying into pointy buildings,” he told his childhood hero. Suddenly, unpleasant realities struck me. I regularly refused all the different crowd outings because of panic over emergency. Though we went camping occasionally, I dampened their joy by wondering how many bears would kill us in our sleep. But seeing my son repeat my previous behavior by wrapping a superhero woke me up. That night, I suggested going to a concert downtown. “Aren’t you worried there might be a fire or something?” my husband asked, genuinely astonished. I knew I deserved that, but I let it go. “Always...But we’ll cross that bridge if we come to it.” That would become my new belief, no matter how difficult it was to say that first time. I regret the roads not taken because of my imagined assumptions, but my determination to change grows. I will always be grateful to my son and Superman, who made my increasingly smaller world become bigger, brighter, more positive, and happier. 4. Which picture best illustrates a helicopter mother according to the text? A. B. C. D. 5. What prevented the author from taking the bubble wrap away from David? A. David’s awareness of his own safety. B. Don’s criticism of her strict supervision. C. Undivided attention David paid to his toy. D. Overprotective nature mirrored in David’s act. 6. What do the author’s words in paragraph 6 suggest? A Her strategy to avoid conflict. B. Her change in response pattern. C. Her transformation in parenting style. D. Her tendency to imagine the worst situation. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To share her personal growth journey. B. To describe expectation for future life. C. To express regret for past imagined assumptions. D. To emphasize the impact of Superman on her son. C AI Morality (Oxford University Press, 2024), edited by British philosopher David Edmonds, is a collection of essays exploring how AI will completely change our lives and the moral dilemmas it will set off, painting a picture of the reasons to be cheerful and to worry. In this excerpt (节选), Muriel Leuenberger, a postdoctoral researcher in the ethics (道德) of technology and AI at the University of Zurich, focuses on this very modern identity crisis. An AI that tells you who you are and what you should do is based on the idea that your identity is something you can discover — information you or an AI may access. But this view misses an important point: we also choose who we are. Constantly relying on AI recommendation systems might calcify your identity. By recommending products and other contents, you become more likely to consume, think, and act in the way the AI system initially considered suitable for you, gradually influencing you so much that you develop into who it took you to originally be. This is, however, not a necessary feature of recommendation systems. In theory, they could be designed to broaden the user’s horizon, instead of maximizing involvement by showing customers what they already like. In practice, that’s not how they function. Besides, by giving decisions to AI, you may fail to meet the moral demand to take responsibility for who you are. This concern weighs particularly heavy when making the most substantial decisions. But even in ordinary cases like selecting movies, music, books, or news, it would be good to put recommendation systems aside from time to time, which in turn, calls for research, risk, and self-reflection. An AI might state a lot of facts about you, but it is your job to find out what they mean to you and how you let them define you. The same holds for actions. Your actions are not just a way of seeking well-being. Through your actions, you choose what kind of person you are. 8. What does the collection of essays focus on? A. Potential benefits and risks of AI. B. Various dominant roles of AI. C. Recent policies on AI development. D. Individual estimates of AI’s future. 9. What does the underlined word “calcify” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Admit. B. Weaken. C. Remember. D. Reject. 10. What is the recommendation system designed for? A. Developing users’ broader vision. B. Prioritizing the most ideal choice. C. Highlighting existing preferences. D. Attracting consumers’ engagement. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To prove the uniqueness of AI.

D It’s a race against time, as generations of cultural heritage restorers at the Dunhuang Academy make a great effort to protect the artistic charm of the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The team is committed to protecting the 45,000 square meters of murals (壁画) and more than 2,400 painted sculptures of the 735 caves of the site. The cultural relics are the product of the cultural exchanges that took place over centuries on the ancient Silk Road. “Our work, repairing murals and painted sculptures, is to better preserve the caves, which promotes the great Dunhuang spirit of inclusiveness to the world and inspires modern people,” says Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy. Commonly seen “diseases” affecting the murals include cracking and chipping (裂痕), as well as erosion (侵蚀) that is caused by changes in temperature and moisture of the caves. To restore a mural requires a multi-talented individual, and restorers should know painting, master the skills of craft and have some knowledge of chemistry and physics, to be able to recognize the problems and their corresponding causes and deliver a solution. They must also select proper materials and tools, and conduct experiments, before formally carrying out the restoration and evaluating the effect afterward. The restoration should respect the original work and aim to maintain the current situation of the murals rather than repainting them. When the restorers find some parts of murals missing or fading away, they never repaint them to create a “perfect” appearance in restoration. “Cultural relics are witnesses of history,” explains Su. “When you pursue the so-called intact (完好的) look for artistic reasons, you will lose their key meaning.” Cave conservation is about continuously solving problems. “It needs a long-term research to better preserve the caves, over a much wider time span that goes beyond our lifetime,” Su says. But at least, they can keep the current look of the murals for as long as possible. 12. Why does the Dunhuang Academy restore the murals? A. To promote cultural exchanges. B. To help study the ancient Silk Road. C. To spread the spirit of Dunhuang globally. D. To keep it on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Site. 13. How does the author feel the restoration work? A. Creative. B. Traditional. C. Risky. D. Demanding. 14. What does Su suggest about restoring mural? A. It is advised to keep its current state. B. It is supposed to pursue a perfect look. C. Its missing parts should be restored in time. D. It can be repainted to fix its appearance. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Significance of Mural Preservation. B. The Artistic Charm of Mural Paintings. C. The Mural Restoration in the Mogao Caves. D. The Experiments on Cave Conservation. 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。 Have you ever thought that taking short breaks during a walk could actually help you burn more calories?

With zero work experience and no professional degree, her chances of getting hired for a well-paid job were next to zero. One day, after dropping her children at school, Catherine spotted a construction site (工地). “I think I can work here,” she thought and walked close to the manager. “Hi, are you hiring (雇佣)? ” she asked. “Yes, we are,” the manager looked at Catherine from head to toe.“Are you sure you can work here? This job requires a lot of hard work.” “I’m ready for it,” she told the manager and signed a contract (合同) to work a 12-hour shift (轮班). However, Catherine kept her new job a secret from her children. She thought they would feel embarrassed after learning their mother worked at a construction site. Every morning after dropping her children to school, she would go to the construction site and work until her shift ended. She would pick up heavy bricks (砖块) on her shoulder to transport them from one part of the site to the other. One evening, Catherine’s son, Peter, told her about an upcoming competition in school that required mothers to join. In the competition, students would wear blindfolds (眼罩) and have to recognize their mothers without looking at them. “That sounds like such a cool event, Peter!” Catherine said excitedly. “I can’t wait for it!” “I won’t go there with you, mom,” Peter replied. “But why?” What her son said next was something Catherine wasn’t prepared to hear. “Mom, I would have to touch your hands to recognize you, and everyone would look at them,” Peter explained. “Your hands are so ugly. They’re so hard and rough,” he added. “I will feel so embarrassed when my classmates look at your hands,” the boy said. “I won’t attend the event.” Catherine felt terrible but couldn’t say anything in her defense. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 para.1 A few weeks later, Peter was walking home when something unexpected caught his attention. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 On his way back home, he kept thinking about how he would apologize to his mother. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
