Here are the four best train journeys in the country. Mahachai Line Start: Thonburi; End: Samut Songkhram Start at Thonburi’s Wongwian Yai train station, just across the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Samut Sakhon. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ll reach a harbor (港口). Death Railway Start: Thonburi; End: Nam Tok Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route (路线). The trains that run the Death Railway are 3rd-class, meaning they have no air-conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’re stops for short visits to historical sites and a cave. Beach Train Start: Bangkok; End: Hua Hin This route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Hua Hin, is Thailand’s original beach resort (旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Hua Hin’s wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride. Train to Laos Start: Bangkok; End: Thanaleng Starting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos. In the morning, with warm sunlight streaming into your bed, you’ll pass by the tiny villages and seemingly endless rice fields. After a stop in Nong Khai, you’ll cross the so-called Friendship Bridge to Laos. 1. What can be learned about Mahachai Line? A. Its destination is a busy fresh market. B. It is the shortest tourist line in Thailand. C. It provides you with good views along the line. D. Its starting station is a popular tourist attraction. 2. What do Death Railway and Beach Train have in common? A. They allow you to enjoy sea views. B. They can give you a sense of history. C. They make you experience the local life. D. They stop for a few moments at historical sites. 3. Which is the destination for Train to Laos? A. Bangkok. B. Nong Khai. C. Hua Hin. D. Thanaleng. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了泰国的四条火车旅行路线。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mahachai Line部分“From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, trees and rice fields(从窗户，你可以看到家园、寺庙、商店、树木和稻田)”可知，透过车窗，你可以看到Mahachai Line沿线的人家、寺庙、商店、树木和稻田等各种各样的景色。由此可知， Mahachai Line会让你在沿途将各种美景尽收眼底。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Death Railway部分“Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line(建于20世纪40年代的死亡铁路是泰国最著名的历史火车线路)”和“there’re stops for short visits to historical sites(沿途有多个站点可以短暂停留参观历史遗迹)”以及Beach Train部分中的“The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926(路线的中心景点是华欣的红白火车站，该站建于1926年)”可知， Death Railway是泰国最具有历史意义的铁路线，而Beach Train这条路线的最重要的景点是一座历史悠久的火车站。由此可知，这两条路线都可以让你感受历史文化。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Train to Laos部分中的“End: Thanaleng(终点站：塔纳楞)”可知，Train to Laos这条路线的终点站是Thanaleng。故选B。 B On September 9, the Ronald McDonald House in Beijing celebrated its third anniversary (纪念日), filled with joy and laughter. Children, their parents, and many volunteers gathered to mark the occasion. Ronald McDonald brought joy to the kids with gifts, while volunteers organized fun games. Everyone shared delicious cakes in a warm atmosphere. The children, mostly aged 5 to 10, showed great strength though they suffered from serious illnesses. Some wore hospital gowns, with needles (针) still in their arms, but their smiles lit up the room. September 9 is also the “99 Giving Day”, a national charity event started by Tencent Foundation to encourage kindness across the country. McDonald’s supports this day through the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing a free living place for families traveling long distances for their children’s medical treatment. This program helps with their money problems and raises their spirits. In China, three Ronald McDonald Houses have been built — in Changsha, Shanghai, and Beijing — serving over 1,438 families. At a recent charity meeting, Jiang Zongyu from Beijing Normal University stressed the important role community plays in charity, especially for children with illnesses. The Beijing Ronald McDonald House, near Beijing Children’s Hospital, covers 860 square meters and features family rooms, a kitchen, a playroom, and more. Regular activities like holiday parties and art classes help enrich the lives of children and families during treatment. Xie Qiong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, noted that community-based charity is important for China’s charitable landscape. Eric Wang from McDonald’s Beijing emphasized that the company’s social responsibility is key to sustainable (可持续的) growth. Inside the Ronald McDonald House, children’s drawings and thank-you notes decorate the walls, showing the great impact of the program. Families form supportive bonds, sharing experiences and meals during challenging times. Volunteers, too, find joy in helping these children, often inspired by their willpower. This community-driven method encourages a spirit of giving and connection, ensuring that help reaches those in need while creating lasting relationships. 4. What can be learned about the children in the Ronald McDonald House? A. They were intelligent. B. They were hard-working. C. They were in high spirits. D. They were ready to help others. 5. How does the program benefit the families? A. By providing them with jobs. B. By raising money for them. C. By offering medical treatment. D. By putting them up for free. 6. What did Xie Qiong mention at the charity meeting? A. The need for more volunteers. B. The necessity of community-based charity. C. The role of art classes in enriching children’s lives. D. The importance of the company’s responsibility. 7. What’s the style of the text? A. A news report. B. A research paper. C. A children’s story. D. A literary review. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了北京麦当劳叔叔之家三周年活动，及其为患病儿童家庭提供的帮扶，凸显社区慈善的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some wore hospital gowns, with needles still in their arms, but their smiles lit up the room.(有些孩子穿着病号服，胳膊上还扎着针，但他们的笑容照亮了整个房间)”可知，麦当劳叔叔之家的孩子们精神状态很好。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“McDonald’s supports this day through the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing a free living place for families traveling long distances for their children’s medical treatment.(麦当劳通过麦当劳之家慈善机构支持这一天，为长途跋涉带孩子就医的家庭提供免费住宿)”可知，该项目为家庭提供免费住宿。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Xie Qiong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, noted that community-based charity is important for China’s charitable landscape.(北京师范大学谢琼（音译）教授指出，社区慈善对中国的慈善格局至关重要)”可知，谢琼提到了社区慈善的必要性。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“On September 9, the Ronald McDonald House in Beijing celebrated its third anniversary (纪念日), filled with joy and laughter. Children, their parents, and many volunteers gathered to mark the occasion.(9月9日，北京麦当劳之家庆祝开业三周年，充满了欢乐和笑声。孩子们、他们的父母和许多志愿者聚集在一起纪念这一时刻)”可知，文章围绕北京麦当劳叔叔之家三周年活动、帮扶内容及相关人士观点展开，客观报道事件及相关信息，符合新闻报道的风格。故选A项。 C When Hurricane Ian made landfall on the southwest Florida coast as a Category 4 storm, it brought strong winds and heavy rain. It was a deadly hurricane, attacking more than four million people, and causing serious flooding and at least 150 deaths. However, during the disaster, there was one innovative community that weathered the storm well: Babcock Ranch, the brainchild of Syd Kitson. Located 30 miles inland, Babcock Ranch is an environmentally friendly and fully sustainable town that Syd Kitson and his partners hoped would be hurricane proof. Its homes are built to go through severe weather without losing essential services like electricity, water, or the Internet. A significant factor in its design is that power and. Internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. Additionally, large ponds surround the development to protect houses from flooding. As a backup, streets are designed to absorb floodwaters and spare the houses. Central to Babcock Ranch’s sustainability is its extensive use of solar energy. The community possesses an 870-acre solar farm with 700,000 individual panels operated by Florida Power & Light, capable of powering 30,000 homes — far more than the 5,000 residents currently living there. At night and on cloudy days, a natural gas generator kicks in to fill the gap. Hurricane Ian served as a true test for the community. While the surrounding regions suffered, Babcock Ranch’s minimum damage and quick recovery showcased its effective design against natural disasters. Residents even opened their community center, doubling as a storm shelter, to the victims from other hard-hit communities. Kitson’s vision for Babcock Ranch is not just about creating a sustainable and resilient (适应性强的) community but also about learning and improving. He hopes that the lessons learned from Babcock Ranch can be applied to other developments, contributing to more climate-resilient communities across the United States. This approach reflects a growing awareness of the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning in the face of increasing climate challenges. 8. What does the underlined word “weathered” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Predicted. B. Changed. C. Ignored. D. Survived. 9. What do we know about Babcock Ranch from the text? A. Its streets allow houses the capability to take in floodwaters. B. Its design guarantees availability of power in the hurricane. C. Its solar farm lacks the ability of producing sufficient power. D. Its main source of electricity supply is provided by natural gas. 10. What is the central theme of the fourth paragraph? A. Babcock Ranch’s community and social life. B. Babcock Ranch’s future expansion strategies. C. Babcock Ranch’s resistance to natural disasters. D. Babcock Ranch’s novel technological innovations. 11. How does Kitson find the future of Babcock Ranch? A. Promising. B. Pessimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了一个经受住飓风考验的牧场——巴布科克牧场。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“It was a deadly hurricane, attacking more than four million people, and causing serious flooding and at least 150 deaths.(这是一场致命的飓风，袭击了400多万人，造成了严重的洪水，至少150人死亡。)”可知，这场飓风造成了严重的破坏，由However可知，前后文是转折关系，因此推断画线句“during the disaster, there was one innovative community that weathered the storm well: Babcock Ranch, the brainchild of Syd Kitson.(在这场灾难中，有一个创新社区很好地weathered了风暴的考验：巴布科克牧场，它是西德·基特森的创意产物。)”中的画线词与survived意思相近，说明这个社区幸存下来，没有受到破坏。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Its homes are built to go through severe weather without losing essential services like electricity, water, or the Internet.(他们建造的房屋可以经受恶劣天气，而不会失去电力、水或互联网等基本服务。)”可知，它的设计保证了飓风中电力的可用性。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Hurricane Ian served as a true test for the community. While the surrounding regions suffered, Babcock Ranch's minimum damage and quick recovery showcased its effective design against natural disasters. Residents even opened their community center, doubling as a storm shelter, to the victims from other hard-hit communities.(飓风伊恩对社区来说是一次真正的考验。当周边地区遭受损失时，巴布科克牧场的最小损失和快速恢复显示了其抵御自然灾害的有效设计。居民们甚至向其他受灾严重的社区的受害者开放了他们的社区中心，兼作风暴避难所。)”可知，本段讲述了巴布科克牧场经受住了这场飓风的考验，并帮助其他社区，因此推断本段主要讲述巴布科克牧场对自然灾害的抵抗力。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Kitson’s vision for Babcock Ranch is not just about creating a sustainable and resilient (适应性强的) community but also about learning and improving. He hopes that the lessons learned from Babcock Ranch can be applied to other developments, contributing to more climate-resilient communities across the United States. This approach reflects a growing awareness of the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning in the face of increasing climate challenges.(基特森对巴布科克牧场的愿景不仅仅是创造一个可持续和适应性强的社区，还包括学习和改进。他希望从巴布科克牧场学到的经验可以应用到其他发展中，为美国各地更多的气候适应社区做出贡献。)”可知，基特森对巴布科克牧场的未来充满希望。故选A。 D Can an AI chatbot enhance personal creativity? Supporters of artificial intelligence see it as an inspiration, but critics doubt it, saying it does little more than remix(重新合成) existing work. To gather data on this question, Oliver Hauser, an economist at the University of Exeter, and Anil Doshi at University College London’s School of Management invited 300 non-professional writers to write an eight-sentence story. One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others receive starter ideas from Chat GPT 4.0. The assisted group was divided into two: one received a single AI-generated idea and the other could choose from up to five. Most importantly, both the human-only and AI-assisted groups had to rewrite the stories themselves. Assessed by 600 evaluators(评价者), each story was graded on “novelty” and “usefulness”. Novelty reflect originality, while usefulness showed if the story was of publishable quality, According to the results, AI-assisted stories scored higher in both categories. Writers with access to one AI idea performed better, but those with five ideas saw the most improvement — about 8% more novel and 9% more useful than independent stories. But there’s a plot twist: When Hauser and Doshi looked at all the stories, they found a different effect. “Generally speaking there was a smaller diversity of novelty in the group that had AI, ” Hauser says. In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the AI-assisted group. Hauser describes this as a “‘classic social dilemma’ where individuals benefit, but the group suffers. We do worry that, at large scale, if many people are using this... overall the diversity and creativity in the population will go down, ” he says. Annalee Newitz, a science fiction author and journalist, pointed out that she wouldn’t blame anyone who tried using AI to write a story. However, she thinks these tools miss the point of writing. Creative writing is “human communicating with other humans” Newitz says, “Even if something is badly written — even if not very creative — if it’s written by a human, then it’s fulfilling its purpose”. 12. What can we learn about Hauser and Doshi’s study? A. Each participant’s story was graded by professionals. B. Not all the participants needed to generate ideas independently. C. Each participant’s story was evaluated on three different aspects. D. Human-only stories were as novel and useful as AI-assisted stories. 13. According to the study results, which group performed best in “novelty” and “usefulness”? A. Writers who generated ideas independently. B. Writers who received one AI-generated idea. C. Writers who chose from up to five AI ideas. D. Writers who combined human and AI ideas. 14. Which of the following would Annalee Newitz probably agree with? A. AI should be avoided in creating stories. B. Creative writing loses its value when assisted by AI. C. AI is important for improving the quality of creative works. D. The point of creative writing lies in human-to-human communication. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Nature of Creative Writing B. The Future of Human Creativity C. AI Boosts Creativity, but at a Cost D. Human Battles Against AI in Writing 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项研究探讨了AI聊天机器人对个人创造力的影响，研究发现AI能提升个体创造力，但可能降低整体创作的多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others receive starter ideas from Chat GPT 4.0.(三分之一的参与者需要独立构思，而其他参与者则从ChatGPT 4.0获取初始想法)”可知，并非所有参与者都需要独立构思。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Writers with access to one Al idea performed better, but those with five ideas saw the most improvement — about 8% more novel and 9% more useful than independent stories.(获得一个人工智能想法的作者表现更好，但拥有五个想法的作者进步最大——相比独立创作的故事，其新颖性提升约8%，实用性提升约9%)”可知，可从最多五个人工智能想法中选择的作者在“新颖性”和“实用性”上表现最佳。故选C。 【14题详解】  推理判断题。根据第五段中“However, she thinks these tools miss the point of writing. Creative writing is ‘human communicating with other humans’(然而，她认为这些工具偏离了写作的意义。创意写作是‘人类与人类之间的交流’)”可知，Annalee Newitz可能认同创意写作的意义在于人与人之间的交流这一观点。故选D。 【15题详解】  主旨大意题。文章开篇直接提出问题“Can an AI chatbot enhance personal creativity?(AI聊天机器人能提升个人创造力吗？)”，紧接着三、四段围绕这个问题进行了实验，再到第四段得出结论“In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the Al-assisted group.(换句话说，虽然聊天机器人提升了个体的创造力，但却降低了人工智能辅助组的整体创造力)”，由此可知，文章核心是AI提升个体创造力的同时存在群体创造力降低的代价。“Al激发创造力，但也要付出代价”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。 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正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Brief and pleasant small talk can promote learning, expand your horizons, and contribute to a sense of belonging. ___16___ We asked experts to share their favorite strategies for getting better at small talk. Take advantage of “free information”. Find help from your surroundings, says Debra Fine, an expert on communication skills. If you’re standing next to someone at a baby shower, for example, the fact that you’re both there is what she calls “free information” — so ask the person how they know the mum-to-be. ___17___ Skip sensitive questions. Avoid controversial (有争议的) topics and potentially sensitive matters (such as religion, relationship status, kids and work). ___18___ You might ask a high school senior to fill you in on their college search, for example, rather than asking if they will get into a famous college. Respond generously. Think of conversation as a game — and aim to be an active player, which requires investing energy in it. If someone asks how you are and you simply respond “Good”, you’re being a “lazy conversationalist”. ___19___ That gives the person you’re talking to plenty to work with if they’d like to continue to chat. ___20___ Some conversations may drag on because people can’t figure out how to end them. Consider introducing the person to someone else, suggests Diane Windingland, and leaving time for them to know each other. Besides, Windingland recommends completing conversations like this: “Please excuse me, I have to talk to so-and-so.” A. Exit the chat gracefully. B. Focus on meaningful topics. C. You can maximize (使最大化) these benefits by mastering some techniques. D. Rather than a single-word response, offer a full sentence in return. E. Your shared reality is a wonderful entry point for deeper conversation. F. Instead, questions like “What keeps you busy outside of work?” are suggested. G. One key to changing that is to first accept that these casual chats are impossible to avoid. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何顺利开展简短而愉快的闲聊提供了一些方法和策略。 【16题详解】 空前“Brief and pleasant small talk can promote learning, expand your horizons, and contribute to a sense of belonging.(简短而愉快的闲聊可以促进学习，扩大视野，并有助于建立归属感)”提到了简短而愉快的闲聊能给人们带来的好处，结合下文提到了开展这种闲聊的方法。因此空处应与闲聊的好处以及开展闲聊的方法相关，C项“你可以通过掌握一些技巧来最大化这些好处”符合语境。C项中的“these benefits”与空前的“promote learning ... and contribute to a sense of belonging”相照应，“some techniques”与空后的“strategies”相照应。故选C。 【17题详解】 空前“Find help from your surroundings, says Debra Fine, an expert on communication skills. If you’re standing next to someone at a baby shower, for example, the fact that you’re both there is what she calls “free information” — so ask the person how they know the mum-to-be.(沟通技巧专家黛布拉·法恩说，从周围环境中寻求帮助。例如，如果你在迎婴派对上站在某人旁边，你俩都在场的事实就是她所说的“免费信息”——所以问问那个人他们是怎么认识这位准妈妈的)”主要提到如果你在迎婴派对上站在某人旁边，你们都在场的事实就是“免费信息”，要学会利用这种信息开展闲聊。因此空处应和利用两人的共同点开展闲聊有关。E项“你们共同的现实是进行更深入对话的绝佳切入点”承接上文内容，与本段主旨相呼应。E项中的“Your shared reality”和上文中提到的“the fact that you’re both there”相呼应。后半部分中的“for deeper conversation”也与进一步开展闲聊相关。故选E。 【18题详解】 空前“Avoid controversial (有争议的) topics and potentially sensitive matters (such as religion, relationship status, kids and work).(避免有争议的话题和潜在的敏感问题（比如宗教、感情状况、孩子和工作）)”提到避开有争议的话题和潜在的敏感问题，空后“You might ask a high school senior to fill you in on their college search, for example, rather than asking if they will get into a famous college.(例如，你可以让一个高三学生告诉你他们找大学的情况，而不是问他们是否能进入一所著名的大学)”举例说明了进行闲聊时应该怎么询问。因此空处应与应该询问什么样的问题相关。F项“相反，你应该问这样的问题：“工作之余是什么让你这么忙？”的建议。”提到了应该询问的问题，符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 空前“If someone asks how you are and you simply respond “Good”, you’re being a “lazy conversationalist”.( 如果有人问你怎么样，而你只是简单地回答“很好”，那你就是一个“懒惰的健谈者”)”讲到如果有人问你过得怎么样，而你只是简单地回答“很好”，那你就是一个“懒于交谈的人”。空后指出如果对方愿意继续聊天，这就给了你们足够的聊天空间。由此可推断空处应与不要回答得太简单，要多说一些内容相关，D项“与其用一个词来回应，不如用一个完整的句子来回应”符合语境。D项中的“Rather than a single-word response”与空前内容相照应，“offer a full sentence in return”与空后内容衔接。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Some conversations may drag on because people can’t figure out how to end them. Consider introducing the person to someone else, suggests Diane Windingland, and leaving time for them to know each other. Besides, Windingland recommends completing conversations like this: “Please excuse me, I have to talk to so-and-so.(有些对话可能会拖延下去，因为人们不知道如何结束。Diane Windingland建议，考虑把这个人介绍给其他人，并留出时间让他们相互了解。此外，Windingland建议这样结束对话：“请原谅，我得和某某谈谈。”)”可知，该段主要讲述了如何退出一场闲聊。A项“优雅地退出闲聊”与下文内容联系紧密，符合语境。且A项语言比较简练，符合段落小标题的特征。故选A。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45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入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always considered myself an extrovert (外向者).

Short videos of young Chinese doing traditional fitness Qigong have flooded video websites among ____37____ a video of Baduanjin has been played more than 10 million times and received over 6,000 comments on a video sharing platform targeting young people. Baduanjin is one of the oldest fitness ____38____(method) to stay healthy in China, originally created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The name refers ____39____how the eight individual movements provide a soft quality for the movement of the body. Compared with more ____40____(physical) demanding sports such as ball games or swimming, Baduanjin is slow and usually accompanied by restful music, so it used to be considered as the sport ____41____(design) for the elderly. However, not ____42____(require) much space, equipment or time, it’s perfect for office workers, as they often suffer from back and neck pain. “I’ve been doing Baduanjin for a couple of months, which makes ____43____(I) sleep well and get strong,”____44____young netizen commented below the video. “I owe big thanks to Baduanjin as it offers a much better lifestyle, _____45_____(do) it?” 【答案】36. has become 37. which 38. methods 39. to 40. physically 41. designed 42. requiring 43. me 44. a 45. doesn’t 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了八段锦的起源、特点、在当下中国年轻人中的火热程度及原因。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：在过去几年里，没人能料到缓慢的气功会在中国年轻人中流行起来。根据时间状语“in the past several years（在过去几年里）”可知，从句应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has +过去分词”，主语slow-moving Qigong是第三人称单数，所以用has become。故填has become。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：中国传统健身气功练习者已经“占领”了各大视频网站，其中一段八段锦的视频在一个面向年轻人的视频分享平台上播放量超过1000万次，评论超过6000条。“among ____2____ a video of Baduanjin has been played more than 10 million times and received over 6,000 comments on a video sharing platform targeting young people”为非限制性定语从句，先行词为Short videos，指物，在从句中作介词among的宾语，所以用关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。 【38题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：八段锦是中国最古老的养生健身方法之一，最初创建于800多年前的宋朝。“one of + the +形容词最高级+可数名词复数”表示“最……之一”，所以此处用method的复数形式methods。故填methods。 【39题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：这个名字指的是八个单独的动作如何为身体的运动提供一种柔和的特质。refer to为固定短语，意为“指的是；涉及；参考”，符合语境。故填to。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：与球类运动或游泳等对体力要求更高的运动相比，八段锦动作缓慢，通常伴有宁静的音乐，所以它过去常被认为是为老年人设计的运动。此处修饰形容词demanding，应用副词physically，意为“身体上地”，physically demanding表示“对体力要求高的”。故填physically。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：与球类运动或游泳等对体力要求更高的运动相比，八段锦动作缓慢，通常伴有宁静的音乐，所以它过去常被认为是为老年人设计的运动。句中已有谓语动词is considered，此处应用非谓语动词，the sport与design之间是被动关系，即这项运动被设计，所以用过去分词designed作后置定语，修饰the sport。故填designed。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，由于不需要太多空间、设备或时间，它非常适合上班族，因为他们经常遭受背部和颈部疼痛。此处应用非谓语动词，it（指代Baduanjin）与require之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词requiring作原因状语。故填requiring。 【43题详解】 考查代词。句意：“我练八段锦已经几个月了，这让我睡得好，身体也强壮了，”一位年轻网友在视频下方评论道。make sb. do sth.表示“让某人做某事”，此处应用宾格形式me作make的宾语。故填me。 44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：“我练八段锦已经几个月了，这让我睡得好，身体也强壮了，”一位年轻网友在视频下方评论道。此处表示泛指“一位年轻网友”，且young是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 【45题详解】 考查反意疑问句。句意：“我非常感谢八段锦，因为它提供了一种更好的生活方式，不是吗？”反意疑问句遵循“前肯后否，前否后肯”的原则，前面主句为肯定句，所以后面的疑问部分用否定形式；句子时态为一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，谓语动词是offers，所以借助助动词doesn’t构成反意疑问句。故填doesn’t。 第三节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 从方框中选择正确的单词或词组（有三项多余），用其正确的形式完成句子。 compare… to… apply for rather than percent breath rescue character damage lie in ruins unite classic sweep away native equal pretend editor crash into advance 46.

Here are the four best train journeys in the country. Mahachai Line Start: Thonburi; End: Samut Songkhram Start at Thonburi’s Wongwian Yai train station, just across the Chao Phraya River from Bangkok. From the window, you can see homes, temples, shops, palm trees and rice fields. The farmland disappears as you enter Samut Sakhon. After getting off and walking through a busy fresh market, you’ll reach a harbor (港口). Death Railway Start: Thonburi; End: Nam Tok Built in the 1940s, the Death Railway is Thailand’s most famous and historic train line. A total of 688 bridges were built along the route (路线). The trains that run the Death Railway are 3rd-class, meaning they have no air-conditioners and mostly wooden benches. It’s a tourist line, so there’re stops for short visits to historical sites and a cave. Beach Train Start: Bangkok; End: Hua Hin This route skirts around the Gulf of Thailand. Your destination, Hua Hin, is Thailand’s original beach resort (旅游胜地). The central attraction of the route is Hua Hin’s red-and-white train station, which was built in 1926. The train is largely responsible for Hua Hin’s wealth; therefore, the station is a major source of pride. Train to Laos Start: Bangkok; End: Thanaleng Starting from Bangkok in the afternoon, this route crosses the Mekong River into Laos. In the morning, with warm sunlight streaming into your bed, you’ll pass by the tiny villages and seemingly endless rice fields. After a stop in Nong Khai, you’ll cross the so-called Friendship Bridge to Laos. 1. What can be learned about Mahachai Line? A. Its destination is a busy fresh market. B. It is the shortest tourist line in Thailand. C. It provides you with good views along the line. D. Its starting station is a popular tourist attraction. 2. What do Death Railway and Beach Train have in common? A. They allow you to enjoy sea views. B. They can give you a sense of history. C. They make you experience the local life. D. They stop for a few moments at historical sites. 3. Which is the destination for Train to Laos? A. Bangkok. B. Nong Khai. C. Hua Hin. D. Thanaleng. B On September 9, the Ronald McDonald House in Beijing celebrated its third anniversary (纪念日), filled with joy and laughter. Children, their parents, and many volunteers gathered to mark the occasion. Ronald McDonald brought joy to the kids with gifts, while volunteers organized fun games. Everyone shared delicious cakes in a warm atmosphere. The children, mostly aged 5 to 10, showed great strength though they suffered from serious illnesses. Some wore hospital gowns, with needles (针) still in their arms, but their smiles lit up the room. September 9 is also the “99 Giving Day”, a national charity event started by Tencent Foundation to encourage kindness across the country. McDonald’s supports this day through the Ronald McDonald House Charities, providing a free living place for families traveling long distances for their children’s medical treatment. This program helps with their money problems and raises their spirits. In China, three Ronald McDonald Houses have been built — in Changsha, Shanghai, and Beijing — serving over 1,438 families. At a recent charity meeting, Jiang Zongyu from Beijing Normal University stressed the important role community plays in charity, especially for children with illnesses. The Beijing Ronald McDonald House, near Beijing Children’s Hospital, covers 860 square meters and features family rooms, a kitchen, a playroom, and more. Regular activities like holiday parties and art classes help enrich the lives of children and families during treatment. Xie Qiong, a professor at Beijing Normal University, noted that community-based charity is important for China’s charitable landscape. Eric Wang from McDonald’s Beijing emphasized that the company’s social responsibility is key to sustainable (可持续的) growth. Inside the Ronald McDonald House, children’s drawings and thank-you notes decorate the walls, showing the great impact of the program. Families form supportive bonds, sharing experiences and meals during challenging times. Volunteers, too, find joy in helping these children, often inspired by their willpower. This community-driven method encourages a spirit of giving and connection, ensuring that help reaches those in need while creating lasting relationships. 4. What can be learned about the children in the Ronald McDonald House? A They were intelligent. B. They were hard-working. C. They were in high spirits. D. They were ready to help others. 5. How does the program benefit the families? A. By providing them with jobs. B. By raising money for them. C. By offering medical treatment. D. By putting them up for free. 6. What did Xie Qiong mention at the charity meeting? A. The need for more volunteers. B. The necessity of community-based charity. C. The role of art classes in enriching children’s lives. D The importance of the company’s responsibility. 7. What’s the style of the text? A. A news report. B. A research paper. C. A children’s story. D. A literary review. C When Hurricane Ian made landfall on the southwest Florida coast as a Category 4 storm, it brought strong winds and heavy rain. It was a deadly hurricane, attacking more than four million people, and causing serious flooding and at least 150 deaths. However, during the disaster, there was one innovative community that weathered the storm well: Babcock Ranch, the brainchild of Syd Kitson. Located 30 miles inland, Babcock Ranch is an environmentally friendly and fully sustainable town that Syd Kitson and his partners hoped would be hurricane proof. Its homes are built to go through severe weather without losing essential services like electricity, water, or the Internet. A significant factor in its design is that power and. Internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. Additionally, large ponds surround the development to protect houses from flooding. As a backup, streets are designed to absorb floodwaters and spare the houses. Central to Babcock Ranch’s sustainability is its extensive use of solar energy. The community possesses an 870-acre solar farm with 700,000 individual panels operated by Florida Power & Light, capable of powering 30,000 homes — far more than the 5,000 residents currently living there. At night and on cloudy days, a natural gas generator kicks in to fill the gap. Hurricane Ian served as a true test for the community. While the surrounding regions suffered, Babcock Ranch’s minimum damage and quick recovery showcased its effective design against natural disasters. Residents even opened their community center, doubling as a storm shelter, to the victims from other hard-hit communities. Kitson’s vision for Babcock Ranch is not just about creating a sustainable and resilient (适应性强的) community but also about learning and improving. He hopes that the lessons learned from Babcock Ranch can be applied to other developments, contributing to more climate-resilient communities across the United States. This approach reflects a growing awareness of the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning in the face of increasing climate challenges. 8. What does the underlined word “weathered” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Predicted. B. Changed. C. Ignored. D. Survived. 9. What do we know about Babcock Ranch from the text? A. Its streets allow houses the capability to take in floodwaters. B. Its design guarantees availability of power in the hurricane. C. Its solar farm lacks the ability of producing sufficient power. D. Its main source of electricity supply is provided by natural gas. 10. What is the central theme of the fourth paragraph? A. Babcock Ranch’s community and social life. B. Babcock Ranch’s future expansion strategies. C. Babcock Ranch’s resistance to natural disasters. D. Babcock Ranch’s novel technological innovations. 11. How does Kitson find the future of Babcock Ranch? A. Promising. B. Pessimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful. D Can an AI chatbot enhance personal creativity? Supporters of artificial intelligence see it as an inspiration, but critics doubt it, saying it does little more than remix(重新合成) existing work. To gather data on this question, Oliver Hauser, an economist at the University of Exeter, and Anil Doshi at University College London’s School of Management invited 300 non-professional writers to write an eight-sentence story. One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others receive starter ideas from Chat GPT 4.0. The assisted group was divided into two: one received a single AI-generated idea and the other could choose from up to five. Most importantly, both the human-only and AI-assisted groups had to rewrite the stories themselves. Assessed by 600 evaluators(评价者), each story was graded on “novelty” and “usefulness”. Novelty reflect originality, while usefulness showed if the story was of publishable quality, According to the results, AI-assisted stories scored higher in both categories. Writers with access to one AI idea performed better, but those with five ideas saw the most improvement — about 8% more novel and 9% more useful than independent stories. But there’s a plot twist: When Hauser and Doshi looked at all the stories, they found a different effect. “Generally speaking there was a smaller diversity of novelty in the group that had AI, ” Hauser says. In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the AI-assisted group. Hauser describes this as a “‘classic social dilemma’ where individuals benefit, but the group suffers. We do worry that, at large scale, if many people are using this... overall the diversity and creativity in the population will go down, ” he says. Annalee Newitz, a science fiction author and journalist, pointed out that she wouldn’t blame anyone who tried using AI to write a story. However, she thinks these tools miss the point of writing. Creative writing is “human communicating with other humans” Newitz says, “Even if something is badly written — even if not very creative — if it’s written by a human, then it’s fulfilling its purpose”. 12. What can we learn about Hauser and Doshi’s study? A. Each participant’s story was graded by professionals. B. Not all the participants needed to generate ideas independently. C. Each participant’s story was evaluated on three different aspects. D. Human-only stories were as novel and useful as AI-assisted stories. 13. According to the study results, which group performed best in “novelty” and “usefulness”? A. Writers who generated ideas independently. B. Writers who received one AI-generated idea. C. Writers who chose from up to five AI ideas. D. Writers who combined human and AI ideas. 14. Which of the following would Annalee Newitz probably agree with? A. AI should be avoided in creating stories. B. Creative writing loses its value when assisted by AI. C. AI is important for improving the quality of creative works. D. The point of creative writing lies in human-to-human communication. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Nature of Creative Writing B. The Future of Human Creativity C. AI Boosts Creativity, but at a Cost D. Human Battles Against AI in Writing 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正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Brief and pleasant small talk can promote learning, expand your horizons, and contribute to a sense of belonging. ___16___ We asked experts to share their favorite strategies for getting better at small talk. Take advantage of “free information”. Find help from your surroundings, says Debra Fine, an expert on communication skills. If you’re standing next to someone at a baby shower, for example, the fact that you’re both there is what she calls “free information” — so ask the person how they know the mum-to-be. ___17___ Skip sensitive questions Avoid controversial (有争议的) topics and potentially sensitive matters (such as religion, relationship status, kids and work). ___18___ You might ask a high school senior to fill you in on their college search, for example, rather than asking if they will get into a famous college. Respond generously. Think of conversation as a game — and aim to be an active player, which requires investing energy in it. If someone asks how you are and you simply respond “Good”, you’re being a “lazy conversationalist”. ___19___ That gives the person you’re talking to plenty to work with if they’d like to continue to chat. ___20___ Some conversations may drag on because people can’t figure out how to end them. Consider introducing the person to someone else, suggests Diane Windingland, and leaving time for them to know each other. Besides, Windingland recommends completing conversations like this: “Please excuse me, I have to talk to so-and-so.” A. Exit the chat gracefully. B. Focus on meaningful topics. C. You can maximize (使最大化) these benefits by mastering some techniques. D. Rather than a single-word response, offer a full sentence in return. E. Your shared reality is a wonderful entry point for deeper conversation. F. Instead, questions like “What keeps you busy outside of work?” are suggested. G. One key to changing that is to first accept that these casual chats are impossible to avoid. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45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入空白处的最佳选项。 I’ve always considered myself an extrovert (外向者).
