At these popular beaches, you’ll feel as if you're in paradise. Here are four of the best beaches there. Tanjong Beach The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds, or go for a swim in the ocean. Especially, the Tanjong Beach Club is a top nightlife spot for drinking cocktails (鸡尾酒) and enjoying water sports like surfing. Pulau Hantu This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. The island consists of two small islands that join at low tide. There’s soft white sand and clear blue-green water here, teeming with colorful corals and marine life. People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat. St. John's Island Beach You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. This pretty place has a beach that’s great for sunbathing, swimming in clear water, and having picnics away from the city. Visitors can also spot unique marine life, go fishing, and even rent cabins or bungalows to stay on the island. Make sure to bring everything you need — there are no shops on the island. Coney Island Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. This hidden destination offers a couple of sandy spots to relax — whether you’re walking or cycling around Coney Island. It is definitely one of the best beaches to visit alone for a therapeutic (治愈的) experience. Enjoyed this? Click here: The Best Island Getaways In and Around Singapore. 1.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了新加坡四个各具特色的美丽海滩，包括它们的位置、特点及适合的活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat. (人们经常在岛上露营过夜，因为只能乘船抵达。)”可知，Pulau Hantu 岛交通不便，需乘船前往，且常需过夜，因此一天内难以往返。故选D。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一个海滩中“The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds (这座白色的沙滩是人工建造的，是沐浴阳光、远离喧嚣安静读书的绝佳去处)”；第二个海滩中“This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. (这座岛屿拥有一处远离繁忙旅游景点的宁静海滩。)”；第三个海滩中“You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. (您可以在圣约翰岛上享受一片宁静的海滩。)”；第四个海滩“ Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. (科尼岛海滩是远离人群、放松身心的绝佳去处。)”可知，四个海滩强调其宁静、远离喧嚣的氛围；而其他选项如夜生活、渔网租赁、骑行热门等均只适用于个别海滩，并非共同点。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章结尾“Enjoyed this? Click here: The Best Island Getaways In and Around Singapore. (喜欢这篇文章吗？点击此处查看：《新加坡及周边最佳岛屿度假指南》。)”可推知，文本结尾带有互动引导和超链接提示，符合网页文章的常见特征。故选C。 B Yesterday, my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. It might sound surprising, but he taught me a powerful lesson. A few weeks ago, I had to travel for work, and I couldn’t spend much time with my son. Even though he is a bit stubborn (固执的), he’s growing up fast. That’s when the lesson happened. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.” I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing (泼) water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down! Dad.” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to use his hands to clean his eyes while blinking (眨眼). It worked, and he felt better. I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better. In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. 4. What happened to the author’s son yesterday? A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom. C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He felt something in his eyes. 5. Why did the author worsen the situation at first? A. He missed an important step. B. He told his son to keep quiet. C. His hands were covered with soap. D. His son disagreed with his advice. 6. How can we solve problems according to the author? A. By putting forward many ideas. B. By getting our thoughts straight. C. By turning to friends for assistance. D. By finding out causes behind them. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Knowledge is power. B. Still waters run deep. C. Parenting is learning. D. Actions speak louder. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者儿子在洗澡时洗发水进入眼睛，作者起初处理不当，后来儿子让作者冷静下来，作者采取正确方法解决了问题，进而引发作者对于面对问题应保持冷静思考。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.” (当我吃晚饭时，他正在洗澡，突然他开始哭了起来。我问他怎么了，他说：“洗发水进了我的眼睛。”)”可知，作者的儿子昨天感觉眼睛里有东西。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing (泼) water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. (我真的很担心，冲进浴室。我试着往他眼睛里泼水来帮忙，但当他用沾满肥皂的手揉眼睛时，情况变得更糟了。我很紧张，告诉他不要用手。)”和第四段中“Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down! Dad.” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to use his hands to clean his eyes while blinking (眨眼). (突然，他说：“冷静点！爸爸。”这让我很惊讶。我意识到我把事情弄得更糟了。我停止泼水，洗了他的手，平静地告诉他一边眨眼一边用手清洁眼睛。)”可推知，作者一开始让情况变得更糟是因为他错过了一个重要步骤，即应该先洗干净儿子的手，再让他用手清洁眼睛。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. (我儿子的教训提醒我，保持冷静，花点时间放松一下，可以帮助我们以清晰的思维、更多的精力和更好的解决方案来面对挑战。)”可推知，作者认为我们可以保持冷静，通过理清思路来解决问题。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yesterday, my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. (昨天，我6岁的儿子给我上了宝贵的一课，让我好几个小时都难以忘怀。)”和最后一段中“My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. (我儿子的教训提醒我，保持冷静，花点时间放松一下，可以帮助我们以清晰的思维、更多的精力和更好的解决方案来面对挑战。)”可推知，作者在解决洗发水进入儿子眼睛这一问题的过程中学到了面对问题要冷静思考，这体现了育儿也是学习的过程。故选C项。 C Google Translate has improved significantly over the years. Initially, it relied on statistical machine translation (SMT), which analyzed many translated texts to predict the most likely translations. However, in recent years, Google has switched to neural (神经的) machine translation (NMT), which uses deep learning models to improve accuracy by understanding context rather than just individual words. The system works by translating entire sentences instead of translating word by word. This produces more natural-sounding results, especially for European languages, which share similar structures. However, for more complex language pairs, particularly those with major grammatical differences, the accuracy is lower. Several studies have been conducted to measure the accuracy of Google Translate, including research from the UCLA Medical Center. The results show that while the tool works well with commonly spoken languages, it has difficulty with complex sentence structures and less commonly translated texts. A study by Slator found that Google Translate’s accuracy largely depends on the specific language pairs. For example, translations between English and Spanish are often better than translations involving Asian or African languages, where grammatical structures and cultural differences are very different. Moreover, research from Smartling indicates that Google Translate is most suitable for basic communication rather than professional or legal translations. While it can provide a general idea of a text’s meaning, it often falls short of delivering correct translations for specialized fields like medicine, law, or marketing. Despite improvements, Google Translate is not free from errors. First, the tool sometimes translates phrases word-for-word, resulting in unnatural or incorrect meanings. Second, sentence structures may be incorrect, especially in non-European languages. Additionally, Google Translate has trouble with ambiguous (含糊的) words or cultural differences that require deeper understanding. AI translations often lose the meaning of phrases that are unique to a specific culture. 8. How does NMT differ from SMT? A. It takes advantage of big data. B. It focuses on structural changes. C. It gives diverse translation results. D. It stresses relations between lines. 9. What can be inferred from Google Translate-related studies? A. It works poorly for all non-European languages. B. Some language pairs produce better results than others. C. Its translations in legal fields are fully reliable. D. Cultural differences have little effect on translation. 10. What does the underlined phrase “falls short of” mean in paragraph 4? A. Try one’s best. B. Make a quick decision. C. Fail to meet the standard. D. Fall a very short distance. 11. What is an improvement direction for Google Translate? A. Fewer grammar mistakes. B. Unique user experiences. C. Quicker responses. D. Offline translation. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌翻译从统计机器翻译到神经机器翻译的发展，分析了其工作方式、不同语言对的翻译表现、适用场景及现存问题（如语法错误、文化差异处理不足等）。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Initially, it relied on statistical machine translation (SMT), which analyzed many translated texts to predict the most likely translations. However, in recent years, Google has switched to neural (神经的) machine translation (NMT), which uses deep learning models to improve accuracy by understanding context rather than just individual words.(最初，它依赖统计机器翻译（SMT），这种翻译方式会分析大量已翻译文本以预测最可能的译文。然而，近年来，谷歌转向了神经机器翻译（NMT），它使用深度学习模型，通过理解语境而非仅关注单个单词来提高准确性。)”可知，NMT与SMT的区别在于NMT注重理解语境，而非SMT仅依赖文本分析。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A study by Slator found that Google Translate’s accuracy largely depends on the specific language pairs. For example, translations between English and Spanish are often better than translations involving Asian or African languages, where grammatical structures and cultural differences are very different.(Slator的一项研究发现，谷歌翻译的准确性在很大程度上取决于特定的语言组合。例如，英语和西班牙语之间的翻译通常比涉及亚洲或非洲语言的翻译效果更好，因为这些语言的语法结构和文化差异非常大。)”可知，不同语言组合的翻译效果存在差异，部分语言组合的翻译结果优于其他组合。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Moreover, research from Smartling indicates that Google Translate is most suitable for basic communication rather than professional or legal translations. While it can provide a general idea of a text’s meaning, it often falls short of delivering correct translations for specialized fields like medicine, law, or marketing.(此外，来自Smartling的研究表明，谷歌翻译最适合基础交流，而非专业或法律领域的翻译。虽然它能让人了解文本的大致意思，但在医学、法律或营销等专业领域，它往往______提供准确的译文。)”可知，前文明确谷歌翻译不适合专业领域，且“while”表转折，强调其在基础交流中能发挥作用，但在专业领域无法达到“提供准确译文”的要求，结合语境可推断，“falls short of”表达“无法达到某种标准或要求”的含义。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Despite improvements, Google Translate is not free from errors. First, the tool sometimes translates phrases word-for-word, resulting in unnatural or incorrect meanings. Second, sentence structures may be incorrect, especially in non-European languages. Additionally, Google Translate has trouble with ambiguous (含糊的) words or cultural differences that require deeper understanding.(尽管有所改进，谷歌翻译仍存在错误。首先，该工具有时会逐字翻译短语，导致意思不自然或不正确。其次，句子结构可能不正确，尤其是在非欧洲语言的翻译中。此外，谷歌翻译在处理需要深入理解的含糊单词或文化差异时存在困难。)”可知，谷歌翻译当前存在句子结构错误（语法错误）等问题，因此减少语法错误是其重要的改进方向，选项中“Fewer grammar mistakes”（更少的语法错误）与原文中“sentence structures may be incorrect”（句子结构可能不正确）的问题直接对应。故选A项。 D Some universities in China and around the world are making changes to the ways in which they deliver liberal arts (文科) subjects, with some subjects being removed. These changes have caused a lot of discussion in China with some questioning the value of these subjects and others saying their removal is leading to a global reduction in the liberal arts. Universities have the right and the responsibility to ensure their courses best equip their students to gain more opportunities in the job market. Education resources tend to be concentrated on science and engineering subjects that lead to better jobs, and this tendency is becoming increasingly clear, driven by market demand. Liberal arts subjects aim to improve life and society. In this sense, the more developed a society is, the more liberal arts are needed. Human development requires liberal arts that keep up with the times. Today, what we need is the kind of humanities (人文科学) and social sciences that can adapt to modern society, which is advancing in science and technology. Liberal arts must welcome the Internet, big data, AI, cloud computing, and so on. The change of liberal arts subjects in universities is unavoidable. In modern university education, the humanities are increasingly serving as general education. Future-centered humanities education should not, and cannot, promise a clear path from specialization to a specific career as natural sciences might. Instead, it should focus on offering a liberal arts education that equips future scientists, technicians, and professionals with humanistic qualities. This education doesn’t provide specific job skills, but aims to cultivate (培养) citizens with critical thinking, cross-cultural awareness, and the ability to construct meaning independently. Liberal arts should have the ability to provide effective “public products” for society. They are not material or technological products, but thoughts, discourses (话语), and theories. 12. Why are some liberal arts subjects removed? A. They are difficult to master. B. Their benefits show slowly. C. They need more resources. D. Their views are imaginary. 13. How can liberal arts subjects keep up with the times? A. By providing hands-on chances. B. By focusing on practical topics. C. By using popular academic terms. D. By opening doors to technologies. 14. What do liberal arts aim to cultivate? A. Sense of cooperation. B. Self-reflection ability. C. Global perspectives (视角). D. Self-learning ability. 15. What is the suitable title for the text? A. Are humanities losing ground? B. Humanities: basis for sciences C. Will liberal arts make changes? D. Liberal arts: searching for truth 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了大学文科课程调整，指出为适应就业市场需求及科技发展，文科需与时俱进，注重培养人文素养与批判性思维。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Education resources tend to be concentrated on science and engineering subjects that lead to better jobs, and this tendency is becoming increasingly clear, driven by market demand.(教育资源往往集中在能带来更好工作的理工科上，在市场需求的驱动下，这一趋势正变得越来越明显。)”和最后一段“Future-centered humanities education should not, and cannot, promise a clear path from specialization to a specific career as natural sciences might.(以未来为中心的人文学科教育不应、也无法像自然科学那样，承诺一条从专业学习到特定职业的明确道路。)”可知，在今天的就业市场上，文科课程无法像理科那样快速体现职业价值，其益处显现较慢。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Liberal arts must welcome the Internet, big data, AI, cloud computing, and so on. The change of liberal arts subjects in universities is unavoidable.(文科必须欢迎互联网、大数据、人工智能、云计算等等。高校文科的变革势在必行。)”可知，文科要想与时俱进，必须开启科技之门。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This education doesn’t provide specific job skills, but aims to cultivate (培养) citizens with critical thinking, cross-cultural awareness, and the ability to construct meaning independently.(这种教育并不提供特定的工作技能，而是旨在培养具备批判性思维、跨文化意识以及独立构建意义能力的公民。)”可知，文科旨在培养具有跨文化意识，即全球视角的公民。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“These changes have caused a lot of discussion in China with some questioning the value of these subjects and others saying their removal is leading to a global reduction in the liberal arts.(这些变化在中国引发了大量讨论，有人质疑这些科目的价值，也有人认为取消这些科目正导致全球范围内文科教育的缩减。)”和全文内容可知，本文主要围绕文科科目缩减、地位下降的话题展开了分析和讨论，即讨论了“人文学科正在失去优势吗？”这一主题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cats are known for their independent and aloof (冷漠的) nature. ___16___ While every cat is unique, there are some signs you can look for to determine if your cat will get along with other cats. ___17___ If your cat curves its back upward, it’s a clear sign that they are not comfortable with the new companion. On the other hand, if your cat approaches the other cat with curiosity, it’s a good sign that they may be open to interacting. Cats are playful creatures by nature. ___18___ If your cat and the new cat are chasing each other, it’s a positive indicator that they are getting along well. On the other hand, if one cat is constantly hiding or avoiding the other, it may be a sign of tension. Cats can be territorial (领地的) animals, so how they react to sharing can be a good indicator of their acceptance. If your cat is comfortable sharing food, water, and litter boxes with the new cat, it suggests that they are willing to coexist peacefully. ___19___ However, if your cat shows guarding behavior around resources, it may indicate a potential for fights. Finally, it’s important to give your cats time to adapt to each other. Building a relationship between cats takes patience and understanding, so don’t expect them to become best friends overnight. Allow your cats to interact at their own speed and provide plenty of opportunities for positive experiences together. ___20___ A. They desire to make friends with other cats. B. Playing with another cat can be a sign of acceptance. C. Your cat’s body language might be a useful indicator. D. That doesn’t mean they can’t get along with other animals. E. With time and proper care, many cats can coexist peacefully. F. Your cat may not allow other cats to use something it owns. G. Some cats are even willing to share the same sleeping area. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，短文介绍了如何判断猫咪是否能与其他猫咪相处。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Cats are known for their independent and aloof nature.(猫咪以独立和冷漠的天性著称)”，以及后文“While every cat is unique, there are some signs you can look for to determine if your cat will get along with other cats.(虽然每只猫都独一无二，但仍有一些迹象能帮你判断它是否能与其他猫咪相处)”可知，此空需转折衔接“猫咪天性”与“能否和同类相处”，打破“冷漠就无法共处”的固有认知。D选项“That doesn’t mean they can’t get along with other animals.(但这并不意味着它们无法与其他动物相处)”符合语境。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“If your cat curves its back upward, it’s a clear sign that they are not comfortable with the new companion. On the other hand, if your cat approaches the other cat with curiosity, it’s a good sign that they may be open to interacting.(如果你的猫弓起背部，这是个明显的信号，说明它对新来的同伴感到不安。相反，如果你的猫带着好奇心靠近另一只猫，那就是个好迹象 —— 这表明它可能愿意与之互动)”可知，此空需总起“通过猫咪肢体动作判断相处可能性”的主题，作为段落主旨。C选项“Your cat’s body language might be a useful indicator.(你家猫咪的肢体语言可能是个有用的判断依据)”符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Cats are playful creatures by nature.(猫咪天生爱玩耍)”，以及后文“If your cat and the new cat are chasing each other, it’s a positive indicator that they are getting along well. (如果你的猫和新来的猫互相追逐，这是它们相处融洽的积极信号)”可知，此空需衔接“猫咪爱玩耍”与“通过玩耍判断相处情况”，建立“玩耍行为”与“接受同类”的关联。B选项“Playing with another cat can be a sign of acceptance.(和另一只猫玩耍可能是接受对方的信号)”符合语境。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“If your cat is comfortable sharing food, water, and litter boxes with the new cat, it suggests that they are willing to coexist peacefully.(如果你的猫愿意和新来的猫分享食物、水和猫砂盆，这表明它愿意和平共处)”，以及后文“However, if your cat shows guarding behavior around resources, it may indicate a potential for fights.(但如果你的猫在资源周围表现出守护行为，可能意味着有争斗风险)”可知，此空需进一步举例“猫咪愿意共享资源”的表现，强化“和平共处”的信号。G选项“Some cats are even willing to share the same sleeping area.(有些猫甚至愿意共享同一个睡觉区域)”符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Finally, it’s important to give your cats time to adapt to each other... Allow your cats to interact at their own speed and provide plenty of opportunities for positive experiences together.(最后，给猫咪时间互相适应很重要……让它们按自己的节奏互动，为它们创造更多积极共处的机会)”可知，此空需总结“耐心引导”的最终结果，收束全文。E选项“With time and proper care, many cats can coexist peacefully.(只要有时间和适当的照顾，很多猫咪都能和平共处)符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was in a primary school in Brooklyn when I first noticed my freckles (雀斑).

As a child, I played school with my little cousins and friends just so I could practice for my future career. But what I didn’t realize as a child was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet. My dream of attending the University of Connecticut seemed so out of reach, but I wasn’t willing to settle for anything less. In the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to colleges, but in my heart I had already made my decision. The University of Connecticut was the one. But a huge hurdle stood between me and my dream—lack of financial resources. I had been working a part-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. Yet I was ready to give up. I mean, who was going to give me, the average high-school girl, that kind of money? I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either. Luckily my parents are incredible people; they taught me never to give up on my dreams, and never to lose sight of what I truly want out of life. My parents were right, and I continued to believe in both myself and my dreams. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Months went by, but I heard nothing from the financial aid office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, an envelope arrived. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Months went by, but I heard nothing from the financial aid office. I constantly checked the mailbox, my heart pounding with anticipation every time I opened it. I questioned if all my efforts had been in vain. The fear of not being able to attend the University of Connecticut due to financial constraints loomed large. Yet, I tried to stay positive, recalling my childhood dream, my parents’ encouragement and the determination that had kept me going this far. I continued to work hard, saving whatever I could, and all the while praying for a favorable outcome from the financial aid office. Finally, an envelope arrived. My heart skipped a beat as I grasped it. With trembling hands, I tore it open, my eyes scanning the contents frantically. And there it was—the news I had been longing for. I had been granted the financial aid! Overwhelmed with joy, I let out a cry of relief. Tears of happiness streamed down my face. I rushed to my parents, hugging them tightly and sharing this moment of triumph. Now, I could finally look forward to starting my academic journey at the University of Connecticut. I was one step closer to realizing my dream of becoming a teacher, knowing that all my perseverance had paid off. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位来自中产阶级家庭的女孩从小梦想成为一名教师，尽管面临经济困难，但她坚持不懈地追求自己的梦想，申请奖学金和财务援助，最终在父母的支持和鼓励下，没有放弃对梦想的追求。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个月过去了，但我没有收到助学金办公室的任何消息。”可知，第一段可描写作者在等待财务援助消息期间的焦虑、疑虑以及她如何保持积极态度并继续努力的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，来了一个信封。”可知，第二段可描写收到财务援助批准通知后的激动心情和与家人分享喜悦的场景。 2.续写线索：查看邮箱——怀疑努力白费了——保持乐观——努力工作——获得资助——拥抱父母——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①怀疑：question/doubt ②保持乐观：stay positive/keep optimistic ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②幸福：happiness/felicity 【点睛】[高分句型1] Yet, I tried to stay positive, recalling my childhood dream, my parents’ encouragement and the determination that had kept me going this far.

At these popular beaches, you’ll feel as if you're in paradise. Here are four of the best beaches there. Tanjong Beach The white-sandy beach is man-made and it’s the perfect place to relax in the sun, read a book away from the crowds, or go for a swim in the ocean. Especially, the Tanjong Beach Club is a top nightlife spot for drinking cocktails (鸡尾酒) and enjoying water sports like surfing. Pulau Hantu This island has a quiet beach far from busy tourist spots. The island consists of two small islands that join at low tide. There’s soft white sand and clear blue-green water here, teeming with colorful corals and marine life. People often camp overnight on the island, as it is only accessible by boat. St. John's Island Beach You can enjoy a quiet beach on St. John’s Island. This pretty place has a beach that’s great for sunbathing, swimming in clear water, and having picnics away from the city. Visitors can also spot unique marine life, go fishing, and even rent cabins or bungalows to stay on the island. Make sure to bring everything you need — there are no shops on the island. Coney Island Coney Island beach is the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. This hidden destination offers a couple of sandy spots to relax — whether you’re walking or cycling around Coney Island. It is definitely one of the best beaches to visit alone for a therapeutic (治愈的) experience. Enjoyed this? Click here: The Best Island Getaways In and Around Singapore. 1. Which place is hard to return from in one day? A. St. John’s Island. B. Tanjong Beach. C. Coney Island. D. Pulau Hantu. 2. What does the four beaches have in common? A. They are famous for the nightlife. B. They provide a quiet atmosphere. C. They have fishing nets for rent. D. They are popular with cyclists. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A magazine. B. A textbook. C. A website. D. A report. B Yesterday my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. It might sound surprising, but he taught me a powerful lesson. A few weeks ago, I had to travel for work, and I couldn’t spend much time with my son. Even though he is a bit stubborn (固执), he’s growing up fast. That’s when the lesson happened. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.” I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing (泼) water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down! Dad.” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to use his hands to clean his eyes while blinking (眨眼). It worked, and he felt better. I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better. In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. 4. What happened to the author’s son yesterday? A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom. C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He felt something in his eyes. 5. Why did the author worsen the situation at first? A. He missed an important step. B. He told his son to keep quiet. C. His hands were covered with soap. D. His son disagreed with his advice. 6. How can we solve problems according to the author? A. By putting forward many ideas. B. By getting our thoughts straight. C. By turning to friends for assistance. D. By finding out causes behind them. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Knowledge is power. B. Still waters run deep. C. Parenting is learning. D. Actions speak louder. C Google Translate has improved significantly over the years. Initially, it relied on statistical machine translation (SMT), which analyzed many translated texts to predict the most likely translations. However, in recent years, Google has switched to neural (神经的) machine translation (NMT), which uses deep learning models to improve accuracy by understanding context rather than just individual words. The system works by translating entire sentences instead of translating word by word. This produces more natural-sounding results, especially for European languages, which share similar structures. However, for more complex language pairs, particularly those with major grammatical differences, the accuracy is lower. Several studies have been conducted to measure the accuracy of Google Translate, including research from the UCLA Medical Center. The results show that while the tool works well with commonly spoken languages, it has difficulty with complex sentence structures and less commonly translated texts. A study by Slator found that Google Translate’s accuracy largely depends on the specific language pairs. For example, translations between English and Spanish are often better than translations involving Asian or African languages, where grammatical structures and cultural differences are very different. Moreover, research from Smartling indicates that Google Translate is most suitable for basic communication rather than professional or legal translations. While it can provide a general idea of a text’s meaning, it often falls short of delivering correct translations for specialized fields like medicine, law, or marketing. Despite improvements, Google Translate is not free from errors. First, the tool sometimes translates phrases word-for-word, resulting in unnatural or incorrect meanings. Second, sentence structures may be incorrect, especially in non-European languages. Additionally, Google Translate has trouble with ambiguous (含糊的) words or cultural differences that require deeper understanding. AI translations often lose the meaning of phrases that are unique to a specific culture. 8. How does NMT differ from SMT? A. It takes advantage of big data. B. It focuses on structural changes. C. It gives diverse translation results. D. It stresses relations between lines. 9. What can be inferred from Google Translate-related studies? A. It works poorly for all non-European languages. B. Some language pairs produce better results than others. C. Its translations in legal fields are fully reliable. D. Cultural differences have little effect on translation. 10. What does the underlined phrase “falls short of” mean in paragraph 4? A. Try one’s best. B. Make a quick decision. C. Fail to meet the standard. D. Fall a very short distance. 11. What is an improvement direction for Google Translate? A. Fewer grammar mistakes. B. Unique user experiences. C. Quicker responses. D. Offline translation. D Some universities in China and around the world are making changes to the ways in which they deliver liberal arts (文科) subjects, with some subjects being removed. These changes have caused a lot of discussion in China with some questioning the value of these subjects and others saying their removal is leading to a global reduction in the liberal arts. Universities have the right and the responsibility to ensure their courses best equip their students to gain more opportunities in the job market. Education resources tend to be concentrated on science and engineering subjects that lead to better jobs, and this tendency is becoming increasingly clear, driven by market demand. Liberal arts subjects aim to improve life and society. In this sense, the more developed a society is, the more liberal arts are needed. Human development requires liberal arts that keep up with the times. Today, what we need is the kind of humanities (人文科学) and social sciences that can adapt to modern society, which is advancing in science and technology. Liberal arts must welcome the Internet, big data, AI, cloud computing, and so on. The change of liberal arts subjects in universities is unavoidable. In modern university education, the humanities are increasingly serving as general education. Future-centered humanities education should not, and cannot, promise a clear path from specialization to a specific career as natural sciences might. Instead, it should focus on offering a liberal arts education that equips future scientists, technicians, and professionals with humanistic qualities. This education doesn’t provide specific job skills, but aims to cultivate (培养) citizens with critical thinking, cross-cultural awareness, and the ability to construct meaning independently. Liberal arts should have the ability to provide effective “public products” for society. They are not material or technological products, but thoughts, discourses (话语), and theories. 12.

As a child, I played school with my little cousins and friends just so I could practice for my future career. But what I didn’t realize as a child was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet. My dream of attending the University of Connecticut seemed so out of reach, but I wasn’t willing to settle for anything less. In the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to colleges, but in my heart I had already made my decision. The University of Connecticut was the one. But a huge hurdle stood between me and my dream—lack of financial resources. I had been working a part-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. Yet I was ready to give up. I mean, who was going to give me, the average high-school girl, that kind of money? I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either. Luckily my parents are incredible people; they taught me never to give up on my dreams, and never to lose sight of what I truly want out of life. My parents were right, and I continued to believe in both myself and my dreams. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Months went by, but I heard nothing from the financial aid office. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, an envelope arrived. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
