Section B Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the short passages and the longer conversation. The short passages and the longer conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard. Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage 11.A.The film is made up of world classics. B.Mamma Mia has moved from the stage to the screen. C.Mamma Mia tells Sufi’s search for her mother. D.The story of Mamma Mia has a lot to do with the band. 12.A.In Sweden. B.In Shanghai. C.In London. D.In America. 13.A.The mature cast. B.The story with ABBA music. C.The European Song Contest 1984 champion. D.The Chinese version of Mamma of 2011. 【答案】11.B 12.C 13.A 【原文】 The ever so-beloved West End musical Mamma Mia has finally been taken from the stage to the screen. The film is a musical based on the legendary Swedish pop band ABBA’S songs and it is the film adaptation of the musical of the same name. Mamma Mia uses the music of ABBA to tell the story of Sophie Sheridan, a 21-year-old American bride-to-be, trying to find out the identity of her real father so that he can give her away at the wedding. Since the first performance of the musical in London in 1999, over 30 million people have seen Mamma Mia around the world. Although the name of the musical is taken from ABBA’s 1975 chart-topper Mamma Mia, neither the musical’s nor the film’s plot has anything to do with the story of the group itself. The band ABBA was the winner of the 1974 Song Contest of Europe and following that success their songs topped the charts worldwide until the early 1980s. The name ABBA is short for the first letters of the group member’s first names. Some people say maybe it is the mature A-list cast that makes the film work so well. Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgard star as the three potential dads with the Oscar winner Meryl Streep starring as the mum of the bride-to-be. In 2011, the Chinese version first appeared in Shanghai, becoming the first Chinese-language musical adaptation to hit the market.Questions: 11. What can be learned about the film Mamma Mia from the passage? 12. Where was Mamma Mia first put on the stage? 13. What made the film so successful according to the passage? Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. 14.A.Leisure activities. B.Popular TV stars. C.Outdoor sports. D.Family time. 15.A.Driving. B.Gardening. C.Eating out. D.Surfing. 16.A.Going to the bars. B.Playing online games. C.Watching TV. D.Reading novels. 【答案】14.A 15.C 16.B 【原文】 A recent survey of leisure time finds that many Americans work an average of 50 hours a week. With the time spent eating, sleeping and taking care of the household duties, there’s little time left for leisure activities for many Americans. However, having free time to relax and pursue hobbies is important. People need time away from the pressures of study or work to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. In different countries free time is spent in different ways. The results of the survey showed that reading was the most popular spare time activity in the U.S, followed by watching TV. In a UK survey on leisure time activities, watching TV and videos was the most popular. Listening to the radio came second. In a similar survey conducted in Japan, the most popular free time activity was eating out. The second most popular activity was driving. There were also differences in the most popular outdoor pursuits between the three countries. The most popular outdoor activity for Americans was gardening. In the UK, it was going to the pub. In Japan, going to bars ranked eighth in popularity and gardening ranked ninth. Although people around the world may enjoy doing similar things in their free time, there’s evidence to suggest that these interests are changing. In the US, for example, the popularity of computer activities is increasing. Many more people in the States are spending their free time surfing the web, emailing friends or playing games online.Questions: 14. What is the recent survey about? 15. What is the most popular free-time activity in Japan? 16. What interest has been growing in America these years according to the passage? Questions 17 through 20 are bused on the following conversation. 17.A.At a travel agency. B.At a local restaurant. C.At a hotel reception. D.At an Australian airport. 18.A.Free wine is offered. B.The price is reasonable. C.She carries a lot of luggage. D.She travels with her family. 19.A.One week. B.Two weeks. C.Four nights. D.Five nights. 20.A.She can come back for Christmas. B.She can drink the best wine of Australia. C.She can choose the activities she likes. D.She can book a holiday anywhere. 【答案】17.A 18.D 19.B 20.C 【原文】M: Good afternoon. Sorry to have kept you waiting. How can I help you? W: Oh, no problem. I’m interested in booking a holiday to Australia and wonder if you could tell me what deals you have. M: Sure. Are you only looking for flights or a package holiday with everything included? W: When you say “everything”, what do you mean? M: Well, a package holiday would include your flights, hotels, meals, day trips to different places of interest and transport to and from the airport. W: Yeah, that sounds pretty good. I’m going with my family, so it would be nice to have everything taken care of. M: So what sort of deals do you have for package holidays, then? W: All sorts, really. M: How long do you want to go for? And on what dates? W: Two weeks around Christmas time would be great. M: OK, let me check that for you. Here’s one, 14 nights in southeastern Australia, 5 nights in Sydney and 5 nights in Melbourne. And then for the other 4 nights, you can choose from a list of trips to other places nearby. You could visit Canberra, for example, or the Blue Mountains. Or you could go for a drive down the Great Ocean Road. Also, if you’re interested in wine, you could go on a tour of the places where they grow grapes and make wine. W: That sounds great. It’s good we can choose some activities ourselves. Questions: 17. Where is the conversation taking place? 18. Why is the woman interested in the package holiday? 19. How long does the woman want to go for the holiday? 20. What can we learn about the holiday the woman chooses? II.Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1分;共20分) Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The power of the pen Numerous studies highlight the psychological benefits of writing. For example, researchers found that participants who engaged in a six-week program of expressive writing improved their mental toughness. In another study, researchers analyzed brain scans to see how writing about negative events affected the way such events 21 (process) and handled. They concluded that expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions and 22 writing about a past failure could improve learning. Last year, brain researchers demonstrated that writing by hand 23 typing with a keyboard promoted more complex brain connectivity, which was crucial for memory formation. These findings suggest that the process of writing allows you 24 (clarify) thoughts and “internalize” them, thus increasing the benefits. To cultivate the habit of writing, try the two tips.    Write to people you love. When you write with your audience in mind, you relate to them. Most importantly, you share something precious with loved ones. Think of how you felt the last time someone you cared about 25 (take) time to write you a heartfelt message. You can even use this as an opportunity to save relationships that need 26 (heal) or just to get an extra smile out of someone.    Write appreciation notes at work. When Doug Conant took over as CEO at Campbell’s, he transformed the company culture from unpleasant to award-winning. “Most cultures don’t do a good job of celebrating contributions, so I made 27 a practice to write thank-you notes to our employees.” Conant said, “Over 10 years, it amounted to more than 30,000 notes, 28 we had only 20,000 employees. Wherever I’d go in the world, you’d find my handwritten notes 29 (display) on employees’ bulletin boards(公告栏).” In today’s digital world 30 most communication is electronic, writing heartfelt thank-you notes enhances emotional intelligence and strengthens relationships. It makes your workplace or home better. 【答案】 21.were processed 22.that 23.instead of/rather than 24.to clarify 25.took 26.healing/to be healed 27.it 28.though/although 29.displayed 30.where 【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了写作的力量,包括写作对心理的益处、对大脑的影响,以及培养写作习惯的方法。 21.考查时态和语态。句意:在另一项研究中,研究人员分析了脑部扫描,以了解写下负面事件如何影响此类事件被处理和应对的方式。“such events”是定语从句的主语,与“process”是被动关系,即事件被处理,根据上下文时态为一般过去时,故填 were processed。 22.考查宾语从句。句意:他们得出结论,表达性写作可能是处理负面情绪的有效工具,并且写下过去的失败可以促进学习。前文“that”引导的第一个宾语从句是“expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions”,第二个宾语从句,从句结构和句意完整,连接词为that。故填 that。 23.考查介词短语。句意:去年,大脑研究人员证明,手写而不是用键盘打字能促进更复杂的大脑连接,这对记忆形成至关重要。这里是在对比手写和打字对大脑连接的不同作用,强调手写的优势,所以用 “instead of” 或 “rather than” 连接,故填 instead of/rather than。 24.考查不定式。句意:这些发现表明,写作的过程能让你理清思绪并将其 “内化”,从而增加益处。“allow sb. to do sth.”允许某人做某事。故填 to clarify。 25.考查时态。句意:想想上次你在乎的人花时间给你写了一封真心的信时你是什么感受。the last time引导的时间状语从句,描述过去的动作,所以用一般过去时。故填 took。 26.考查非谓语动词。句意:你甚至可以利用这个机会来挽救需要修复的关系,或者只是让某人开心一下。need作实义动词时,且物做主语时,后面接动词的-ing 形式或不定式的被动形式,表示 “需要被……”。故填 healing/to be healed。 27.考查形式宾语。句意:康纳特说:“大多数公司文化在表彰贡献方面做得不好,所以我把给员工写感谢信作为一种惯例”“make it a practice to do sth.” 是固定结构,“it” 作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的 “to write thank-you notes to our employees”。故填 it。 28.考查连词。句意:在 10 多年的时间里,(感谢信)总数超过了 3 万封,尽管我们只有 2 万名员工。“though” 或 “although” 引导让步状语从句,表示 “尽管,虽然”,在这里连接两个有转折关系的句子。故填 though/although。 29.考查非谓语动词。句意:无论我走到世界的哪里,你都会发现我手写的便条被展示在员工的公告栏上。my handwritten notes与display 为被动关系,用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填 displayed。 30.考查定语从句。句意:在当今大多数交流都是电子形式的数字世界里,写衷心的感谢信能提高情商并加强人际关系。修饰先行词 “digital world”,在从句中作地点状语,表示 “在这个数字世界里”。用关系副词where。故填 where。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context (新情境)Ever wondered why you reach for a snack after hitting the gym? Research shows that physical exercise often leads to 41 food consumption. With countless sports events 42 , a new question arises: Can watching sports on a screen also influence how much we eat? The answer is yes. Our research reveals that watching sports videos can increase candy consumption. But there is more to the story: the 43 of the sports you are watching plays a crucial role in these effects. We first invited 112 students to the lab to watch a video and test some candies. The students who saw the sports video ate more candies than those who saw the one without physical activity. To learn more, we invited just the female students to watch videos 44 either easy or difficult-to-perform sports. Students who watched the easy sports video ate much more. We can thus conclude that the ease of the exercise shown 45 impacts candy consumption. To explain our findings, we looked at research on goal 46 . When people feel they are not meeting a goal, they push harder; but once they see 47 , they tend to relax. For example, after a workout, those aiming to stay fit might feel they have achieved advancement and then ease up on their efforts. This can lead to a 48 in the drive to pursue related goals, like healthy eating. Research shows that achieving smaller goals (like exercising) can make people feel they have earned a(n) 49 , which results in overeating. So completing a workout might make you more likely to 50 yourself with extra food than if you had not finished your session.   So what is the 51 for us? Be mindful of how watching sports can affect our eating habits. If you are aiming to stay on track with your diet, watch more 52 sports. Moreover, when setting dieting goals, remind yourself that real progress comes from 53 effort, not just imagining yourself doing a workout. Engage in activities that genuinely challenge you, and pair them with healthy eating habits. This way, you can avoid the trap of feeling the fitness goal to be 54 accomplished and then overeating. In conclusion, should you watch the Olympic Games if you want to 55 your diet?

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School. When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.” The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.” Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.” 56.The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______. A.the origin of BallMatics B.the challenges facing BallMatics C.the start of a lifelong friendship D.the dedication of the young teachers 57.What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”? A.The students’ progress in their mathematic skills. B.The students’ changed attitude towards math. C.The data collected about the students’ goal percentage. D.The efficiency in determining the winning team. 58.What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas? A.They will be forbidden to leave any training session. B.They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C.They will have to attend classes at a private school. D.They will be banned from playing in the game. 59.The best title for the article is ______. A.The Basics of Math B.The Road to Success C.A Sports Principle D.A Numbers Game 【答案】56.A 57.B 58.D 59.D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了Dave McNee和Claudia Mandekic将篮球和数学结合起来,创立了BallMatics课程,让学生在享受篮球的同时提高数学能力,并介绍了该课程的发展历程和影响。 56.推理判断题。根据第一段中“The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School.(将篮球和数学相结合的想法在 2011 年首次得到尝试,当时这两位如今的同事——他们已经创办了一个非营利性的辅导机构——受邀为在乔治中学九年级数学不及格的孩子们举办一个暑期学校项目)”以及第二段中“When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math.(当学生们第一天出现时,他们并不兴奋。在接下来的几个小时里,Mandekic和McNee给孩子们传授了提高投篮水平的技巧,同时也帮助他们计算了投篮命中率——这反过来又教会了他们分数和小数。游戏结束时,根据哪一组的总百分比最高并做了最有效的数学计算来决定获胜的队伍)”可知,前两段主要介绍了BallMatics课程的起源,它源于2011 年Mandekic和McNee的一次暑期教学尝试。故选A项。 57.细节理解题。根据第二段中“When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited.(当学生们第一天来的时候,他们并不怎么兴奋)”和“‘When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,’ says Mandekic. ‘I realized we might be onto something.’(‘当铃声响起时,他们全神贯注于收集数据和计算哪支球队获胜,以至于他们都没有离开,’Mandekic说。‘我意识到我们可能找到了某种方法。’)”可知,是学生们对数学态度的改变让Mandekic和McNee意识到他们“可能找到了某种方法(might be onto something)”。故选B项。 58.细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,’ he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class.(‘如果我们不做作业,我们就不能参加比赛,’他说,并补充说教练会让跟不上课堂的孩子坐冷板凳)”可知,根据Douglas的说法,在课堂上表现不好的孩子将被禁止参加比赛。故选D项。 59.主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011(将篮球和数学结合起来的想法在2011年首次得到尝试)”以及后文关于BallMatics课程的介绍可知,本文主要讲述了Dave McNee和Claudia Mandekic将篮球和数学结合起来,让学生在享受篮球的同时提高数学能力。D项“A Numbers Game (数字比赛)”既体现了文章中的数学元素,又暗示了篮球比赛中的计分和数据分析,与文章主题紧密相关,是最佳标题。故选D项。 B Chapter 1 What is critical thinking? Learning outcomes This chapter gives you opportunities to: √ understand what critical thinking is √ find out about the early roots and later developments of critical thinking √ recognize some of the benefits associated with critical thinking skills √ recognize the personal qualities connected to critical thinking √ recognize barriers to the development of good critical thinking skills √ assess your current understanding of critical thinking and identify your priorities for improvement Introduction This chapter provides a general introduction to critical thinking. It examines what is meant by “critical thinking”, the skills associated with it, and the barriers that can slow down effective development of critical approaches. Many people can find it difficult to order their thoughts in a logical, consistent and reasoned way. This book starts from the idea that skills in reasoning can be developed through a better understanding of what critical thinking involves, and by practice. Critical thinking is a cognitive activity connected to using the mind. Learning to think in critically analytical and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention (concentrating on specific details and information), categorization (the process of organizing information into categories based on shared characteristics), selection (selecting relevant information), and judgement (the ability to assess and form well- reasoned conclusions or opinions based on available evidence). However, many people who have the potential to develop more effective critical thinking can be prevented from doing so for a variety of reasons apart from a lack of ability. In particular, personal and emotional, or “affective”, reasons can create barriers. You are invited to consider, in this chapter, how far such barriers could be affecting your own thinking abilities and how you will manage them. 60.According to the learning outcomes, which of the following topics is most likely to be included in Chapter 1? A.Significant works in critical thinking B.Teaching strategies for critical thinking C.Critical thinking: individual or collective? D.Critical thinking: Where does it come from? 61.What can a reader learn in this chapter? A.How a mental process works and what role it plays in making logical reasoning. B.What defines cognitive activity and how emotions can shape critical thinking skills. C.Why individuals possess varying abilities to think critically and how to assess them. D.What is critical thinking and how it can be developed through understanding and practice. 62.Which of the following examples best illustrates the mental process of categorization? A.A student chooses articles that are related to his topic from a large database. B.A student focuses on the main points the teacher emphasizes in a physics class. C.A student sorts notes by grouping them according to different historical periods. D.A student decides which arguments to include in his essay after weighing the evidence. 【答案】60.D 61.D 62.C 【导语】本文是一本书的节选。文章主要介绍了本章主题为批判性思维,以及在本章中可能会了解的内容。 60.推理判断题。根据文章“Learning outcomes”部分中的“find out about the early roots and later developments of critical thinking (了解批判性思维的早期起源及后期发展)”可知,在本章中,读者将会了解批判性思维的早期起源及后期发展。故选D。 61.细节理解题。根据文章“Introduction”部分中的“This chapter provides a general introduction to critical thinking. (本章对批判性思维进行了总体介绍。)”以及“This book starts from the idea that skills in reasoning can be developed through a better understanding of what critical thinking involves, and by practice. (本书基于这样一个观点:通过更好地理解批判性思维所涉及的内容,并通过实践,可以培养推理能力。)”可知,读者可以在本章中了解何为批判性思维以及通过实践培养批判性思维。故选D。 62.推理判断题。根据文章“Introduction”部分中的“Learning to think in critically analytical and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention (concentrating on specific details and information), categorization (the process of organizing information into categories based on shared characteristics), selection (selecting relevant information), and judgement (the ability to assess and form well- reasoned conclusions or opinions based on available evidence).(学会以批判分析和评估的方式进行思考,意味着运用诸如注意力(专注于特定细节和信息)、分类(根据共同特征将信息组织成类别的过程)、选择(选择相关信息)和判断(基于可用证据评估和形成合理结论或意见的能力)等心理过程。)”可知,分类是将信息或对象根据共同特征或属性组织成类别的过程。这个过程涉及到识别信息的相似性和差异性,并将其分组以便于理解和处理。选项C“A student sorts notes by grouping them according to different historical periods. (一个学生根据不同的历史时期对笔记进行分类)”符合分类的定义。学生将笔记根据历史时期这一共同特征进行分组,以便于理解和回顾。故选C。 C (热点话题)In today’s data-driven world, the value of data has been likened to that of oil, but unlike oil, data is not a finite resource — it grows continuously as new information is created. Businesses, particularly those employing AI algorithms, rely on data more than ever to drive success. However, a challenge that has arisen is ensuring the data used is reliable, objective, and ethically sourced. Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and “black-box” collection methods, where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, raising ethical and legal issues. Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules, businesses should balance their needs with individuals’ rights. This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data, building customer trust and reducing legal risks. They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias. Synthetic data, generated by AI, offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals’ privacy. Although synthetic data isn’t linked to real people, businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies. A notable tool in this space is MIT’s Synthetic Data Vault, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases. Despite its usefulness, there remain concerns about the accuracy of such data when used for critical AI training. Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed. As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 63.What does the phrase “echoes this sentiment” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B.Disapproves of the views on data collection. C.Questions the use of open data collection methods. D.Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 64.What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A.There are tools to ensure data accuracy. B.Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain. C.Ethical data practices lack clear definitions. D.Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 65.Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A.Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B.Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C.Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. D.Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 66.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with AI. B.Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C.Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D.Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training. 【答案】63.A 64.B 65.C 66.C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了在当今数据驱动的世界中,企业需确保数据收集的伦理性和准确性以实现人工智能的负责任应用。 63.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment.(数据与营销协会(DMA)的雷切尔·阿尔迪吉里强调,数据收集中的道德实践至关重要,尤其是在企业越来越多地使用人工智能来自动化决策过程的情况下。不恰当的数据使用会导致人工智能模型不准确和结果带有偏见。Paragon公司的首席技术官斯蒂芬·莱斯特echoes this sentiment,他指出,公司应采用公开的方法来收集数据,确保参与者知道他们的数据将如何被使用,并确保他们获得适当的报酬)”可知,斯蒂芬·莱斯特表达了同雷切尔·阿尔迪吉里相同的看法,echoes this sentiment意思是“同意清晰和道德的数据实践”。故选A。 64.推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias.(然而,获取可靠数据并不总是那么简单。开源数据集虽然可用,但往往缺乏质量控制和防止偏见的保障措施)”可知,获取可靠数据不简单,开源数据集有缺陷,表明可靠数据极难获得。故选B。 65.推理判断题。根据第五段“Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed.(来自Sagacity公司的克里斯·斯蒂芬森强调了使用错误检查机制训练人工智能模型的重要性。他指出,虽然合成数据可能有用,但企业必须对算法的训练方式保持谨慎,密切关注错误或偏见可能悄然溜过而未被察觉的潜在风险)”可知,克里斯·斯蒂芬森最可能同意的是在人工智能模型的训练过程中,错误可能仍未被发现。故选C。 66.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据最后一段“As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair.

Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The power of placebo (安慰剂) Have you ever taken a pill for a headache and felt instant relief even though there’s no way the medicine could have taken effect so quickly? If so, you’ve personally experienced a medical phenomenon known as the placebo effect. 67 In the above situation regarding your headache, the active ingredient (成分) couldn’t have been responsible for your reduced pain. So why did the symptoms improve? Scientists don’t completely understand the mechanisms behind the effect, but they have determined that an individual’s conditioning and expectations likely play a major role. With your headache, for example, you expected the painkiller to work because pills have relieved your headaches in the past. 68 In fact, the latter means a placebo can still work even when someone knows it’s not real medicine! Other factors that can influence how well a treatment works include being told it’s effective by a doctor, your doctor’s body language or tone of voice, and the knowledge that you’ re taking action to solve the problem. 69 If you believe a drug will be ineffective at relieving your symptoms, for instance, it is less likely to work. Even worse, if you expect to suffer side effects from your medication, you probably will. This puts doctors in a tricky position — they’ re required by law to inform patients of risks, yet doing so could negatively affect recovery. The best way to avoid this undesirable effect, according to some experts, is for doctors to phrase dangers in the most encouraging way possible or ask people if they’ re willing to remain unaware of minor side effects. The power of the placebo effect opens up an exciting opportunity to explore new avenues. Though we may not fully grasp how the placebo effects work, one thing is clear: our minds have an amazing ability to shape not only our thoughts but also our physical health. 70 A.Unfortunately, our expectations can also work against us. B.Believe it or not, there are limits to even the strongest placebo effect. C.This effect occurs when a patient is given a treatment that is able to improve their symptoms even though it lacks an active ingredient. D.Additionally, you probably associate pills in general with recovering from illness. E.If we can learn to make use of the power of positive thinking, perhaps one day we can even move beyond using traditional drugs to treat minor symptoms! F.And in routine medical practice, placebos are rarely used on purpose. 【答案】67.C 68.D 69.A 70.E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了安慰剂效应及其影响因素,强调积极思考对身体健康的潜在帮助。 67.上文“If so, you’ve personally experienced a medical phenomenon known as the placebo effect.(如果是这样,你就亲自体验了一种被称为安慰剂效应的医疗现象。)”引出了安慰剂效应的概念,空处应承接上文详细解释这种效应。C选项“这种效应指的是,当患者接受一种治疗时,即使这种治疗不含有效成分,也能改善他们的症状。”与上文形成递进关系,符合解释安慰剂效应的定义。故选C。 68.根据上文“With your headache, for example, you expected the painkiller to work because pills have relieved your headaches in the past.(以头痛为例,你期望止痛药起效,因为之前药片已经缓解过你的头痛。)”以及下文“In fact, the latter means a placebo can still work even when someone knows it’s not real medicine!(事实上,后者意味着即使某人知道这不是真正的药物,安慰剂仍然可以起作用!)”可知,个体的条件反射与预期可能影响安慰剂效应,空处承上启下,需要补充患者为何相信药片有效。D选项“此外,你可能会将药片与疾病康复联系在一起。”符合题意。故选D。 69.根据下文“If you believe a drug will be ineffective at relieving your symptoms, for instance, it is less likely to work.Even worse, if you expect to suffer side effects from your medication, you probably will.(例如,如果你认为某种药物对缓解你的症状无效,那么它的效果就更不可能显现。更糟糕的是,如果你预期会因为药物而出现副作用,那么你很可能会确实出现这些副作用。)”可知,本段主要内容是关于这种效应的不利影响,A选项“不幸的是,我们的期望有时也可能会对我们产生不利影响。”与之前后呼应,符合题意。故选A。 70.根据上文“Though we may not fully grasp how the placebo effects work, one thing is clear: our minds have an amazing ability to shape not only our thoughts but also our physical health.(尽管我们可能无法完全理解安慰剂效应的工作原理,但有一点是清楚的:我们的思想具有惊人的能力,不仅能塑造我们的想法,还能影响我们的身体健康。)”可知,空处将进一步讨论安慰剂效应未来的利用,E选项“如果我们能学会利用积极思维的力量,或许有一天我们甚至能超越使用传统药物治疗轻微症状”恰恰承接了上文并展望未来。故选E。 IV.Summary Writing (共10分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Most humans have some physical characteristics that they wish they could change, such as a facial feature or extra fat. Many people can comfortably live with these characteristics, but for some, their negative body image significantly affects their daily lives. The latter group are said to have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). They find some common aspects, including the face or stomach, impossible to accept. People with BDD often try to alter these features by exercising, changing their hairstyle, using skin care products or even getting plastic surgery. Or they may try to hide the features under clothing or makeup. They may look at mirrors constantly or avoid them altogether. They may ask others for reassurance (安慰) that they look OK but not believe that reassurance when it comes. People with BDD sometimes pick at their skin or constantly comb (梳) their hair; at its worst, BDD can lead people to consider or attempt suicide. BDD is often not diagnosed until 10 to 15 years after it develops, largely because it takes time for people to realize their feelings are not normal. But early detection makes a significant difference in quality of life as it allows people to take measures to prevent BDD from getting worse. The primary treatment for BDD is therapy, which often involves teaching the patient to challenge negative thoughts as they come. Some doctors may also prescribe antidepressants (开抗抑郁药). Plastic surgery is not effective at making people with BDD feel better. In fact, the changes in appearance brought about by surgery often compound the problem. If someone you know has BDD, assuring them that they look good will probably not help. Instead, listen patiently and encourage them to seek treatment. And if you think you have BDD, consult a doctor or a trusted friend. The earlier the problem is addressed, the better. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】BDD is a condition where people can’t accept their negative physical features. It can lead to extreme behaviors and affect their life. However, BDD is hard to diagnose, but early detection and treatment is crucial, involving therapy and medication, rather than plastic surgery. Therefore, anyone with BDD is advised to seek treatment as early as possible. (56 words) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,BDD是一种人们无法接受自己负面身体特征的状态。它会导致极端的行为,影响他们的生活。然而,BDD很难诊断,但早期发现和治疗至关重要,包括治疗和药物治疗,而不是整形手术。因此,建议任何患有BDD的人尽早寻求治疗。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Many people can comfortably live with these characteristics, but for some, their negative body image significantly affects their daily lives. The latter group are said to have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). ②People with BDD often try to alter these features by exercising, changing their hairstyle, using skin care products or even getting plastic surgery. People with BDD sometimes pick at their skin or constantly comb (梳) their hair; at its worst, BDD can lead people to consider or attempt suicide. ③BDD is often not diagnosed until 10 to 15 years after it develops, largely because it takes time for people to realize their feelings are not normal. But early detection makes a significant difference in quality of life as it allows people to take measures to prevent BDD from getting worse. ④And if you think you have BDD, consult a doctor or a trusted friend. The earlier the problem is addressed, the better. 2.缜密构思 将第1个要点进行总说,将第2、3、4三个要点进行分说。 3.遣词造句 BDD is a condition where people can’t accept their negative physical features.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1分;共20分) Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The power of the pen Numerous studies highlight the psychological benefits of writing. For example, researchers found that participants who engaged in a six-week program of expressive writing improved their mental toughness. In another study, researchers analyzed brain scans to see how writing about negative events affected the way such events 21 (process) and handled. They concluded that expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions and 22 writing about a past failure could improve learning. Last year, brain researchers demonstrated that writing by hand 23 typing with a keyboard promoted more complex brain connectivity, which was crucial for memory formation. These findings suggest that the process of writing allows you 24 (clarify) thoughts and “internalize” them, thus increasing the benefits. To cultivate the habit of writing, try the two tips.    Write to people you love. When you write with your audience in mind, you relate to them. Most importantly, you share something precious with loved ones. Think of how you felt the last time someone you cared about 25 (take) time to write you a heartfelt message. You can even use this as an opportunity to save relationships that need 26 (heal) or just to get an extra smile out of someone.    Write appreciation notes at work. When Doug Conant took over as CEO at Campbell’s, he transformed the company culture from unpleasant to award-winning. “Most cultures don’t do a good job of celebrating contributions, so I made 27 a practice to write thank-you notes to our employees.” Conant said, “Over 10 years, it amounted to more than 30,000 notes, 28 we had only 20,000 employees. Wherever I’d go in the world, you’d find my handwritten notes 29 (display) on employees’ bulletin boards(公告栏).” In today’s digital world 30 most communication is electronic, writing heartfelt thank-you notes enhances emotional intelligence and strengthens relationships. It makes your workplace or home better. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A.accents     B.acquire       C. boundaries    D.fulfill      E. guidelines     F. liberally G. precisely    H. priority       I. prospect      J. schedule     K. suspect (新题材)Find Your Life’s Work Everyone has their own life values. You wonder what your vocation is and where you could successfully 31 your potential? Here are some tips. ● Turn Passion into Profit Do not 32 this statement: find something you like and you won’t have to work a day. There is no better 33 than getting good money for your hobby. So, think about what you really like to do even for free. Even if you only love to play online games and taste delicious food, you can go for cooking or tasting, game development or go into e-sports, start a thematic blog—as you can see, there are a lot of options. ● Imagine an Ideal World Another way to understand what is most important to you is to reflect on what an ideal world should look like. Perhaps your purpose is 34 to bring the real world closer to this ideal image. Don’t limit yourself to 35 . Let go of fantasy and let yourself just dream. Write down any thoughts that come to mind. Pay attention to all the details and 36 , and then think about how to translate them into reality. ● Recall Your Best Moments To determine your top 37 , think about the moments in which you experienced the greatest joy. What has given you the most satisfaction in the past? Take a little time and remember all the times when you were sincerely glad. So, you will understand what your main 38 are at this stage of life. ● Create a Roadmap You’ve identified your goals. Now, develop a detailed plan, like drawing a map from your current life to your desired future. Find the best route from point A to point B.Think about what skills you need to 39 and what daily habits are worth adding to your life. The more specific points you put on the map, the easier it will be to 40 them and start moving towards your goal. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分;56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context (新情境)Ever wondered why you reach for a snack after hitting the gym? Research shows that physical exercise often leads to 41 food consumption. With countless sports events 42 , a new question arises: Can watching sports on a screen also influence how much we eat? The answer is yes. Our research reveals that watching sports videos can increase candy consumption. But there is more to the story: the 43 of the sports you are watching plays a crucial role in these effects. We first invited 112 students to the lab to watch a video and test some candies. The students who saw the sports video ate more candies than those who saw the one without physical activity. To learn more, we invited just the female students to watch videos 44 either easy or difficult-to-perform sports. Students who watched the easy sports video ate much more. We can thus conclude that the ease of the exercise shown 45 impacts candy consumption. To explain our findings, we looked at research on goal 46 . When people feel they are not meeting a goal, they push harder; but once they see 47 , they tend to relax. For example, after a workout, those aiming to stay fit might feel they have achieved advancement and then ease up on their efforts. This can lead to a 48 in the drive to pursue related goals, like healthy eating. Research shows that achieving smaller goals (like exercising) can make people feel they have earned a(n) 49 , which results in overeating. So completing a workout might make you more likely to 50 yourself with extra food than if you had not finished your session.   So what is the 51 for us? Be mindful of how watching sports can affect our eating habits. If you are aiming to stay on track with your diet, watch more 52 sports. Moreover, when setting dieting goals, remind yourself that real progress comes from 53 effort, not just imagining yourself doing a workout. Engage in activities that genuinely challenge you, and pair them with healthy eating habits. This way, you can avoid the trap of feeling the fitness goal to be 54 accomplished and then overeating. In conclusion, should you watch the Olympic Games if you want to 55 your diet? Of course, but it might be better to choose the physical activities you find the most difficult to perform — and watch them without moderation. 41.A.wasteful B.increased C.processed D.healthy 42.A.airing B.happening C.celebrating D.unfolding 43.A.category B.length C.difficulty D.audience 44.A.testing B.promoting C.capturing D.explaining 45.A.misleadingly B.frequently C.rarely D.significantly 46.A.feasibility B.motivation C.visualization D.clarity 47.A.hope B.videos C.treats D.progress 48.A.delay B.drop C.doubt D.confidence 49.A.break B.honor C.diet D.title 50.A.sustain B.prepare C.cheat D.reward 51.A.transition B.stimulation C.implication D.intervention 52.A.instructive B.relaxing C.influential D.challenging 53.A.consistent B.prospective C.ultimate D.individual 54.A.overly B.barely C.prematurely D.remarkably 55.A.put up with B.keep up with C.make up for D.set up for Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School. When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.” The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.” Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.” 56.The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______. A.the origin of BallMatics B.the challenges facing BallMatics C.the start of a lifelong friendship D.the dedication of the young teachers 57.What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”? A.The students’ progress in their mathematic skills. B.The students’ changed attitude towards math. C.The data collected about the students’ goal percentage. D.The efficiency in determining the winning team. 58.What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas? A.They will be forbidden to leave any training session. B.They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C.They will have to attend classes at a private school. D.They will be banned from playing in the game. 59.The best title for the article is ______. A.The Basics of Math B.The Road to Success C.A Sports Principle D.A Numbers Game B Chapter 1 What is critical thinking? Learning outcomes This chapter gives you opportunities to: √ understand what critical thinking is √ find out about the early roots and later developments of critical thinking √ recognize some of the benefits associated with critical thinking skills √ recognize the personal qualities connected to critical thinking √ recognize barriers to the development of good critical thinking skills √ assess your current understanding of critical thinking and identify your priorities for improvement Introduction This chapter provides a general introduction to critical thinking. It examines what is meant by “critical thinking”, the skills associated with it, and the barriers that can slow down effective development of critical approaches. Many people can find it difficult to order their thoughts in a logical, consistent and reasoned way. This book starts from the idea that skills in reasoning can be developed through a better understanding of what critical thinking involves, and by practice. Critical thinking is a cognitive activity connected to using the mind. Learning to think in critically analytical and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention (concentrating on specific details and information), categorization (the process of organizing information into categories based on shared characteristics), selection (selecting relevant information), and judgement (the ability to assess and form well- reasoned conclusions or opinions based on available evidence). However, many people who have the potential to develop more effective critical thinking can be prevented from doing so for a variety of reasons apart from a lack of ability. In particular, personal and emotional, or “affective”, reasons can create barriers. You are invited to consider, in this chapter, how far such barriers could be affecting your own thinking abilities and how you will manage them. 60.According to the learning outcomes, which of the following topics is most likely to be included in Chapter 1? A.Significant works in critical thinking B.Teaching strategies for critical thinking C.Critical thinking: individual or collective? D.Critical thinking: Where does it come from? 61.What can a reader learn in this chapter? A.How a mental process works and what role it plays in making logical reasoning. B.What defines cognitive activity and how emotions can shape critical thinking skills. C.Why individuals possess varying abilities to think critically and how to assess them. D.What is critical thinking and how it can be developed through understanding and practice. 62.Which of the following examples best illustrates the mental process of categorization? A.A student chooses articles that are related to his topic from a large database. B.A student focuses on the main points the teacher emphasizes in a physics class. C.A student sorts notes by grouping them according to different historical periods. D.A student decides which arguments to include in his essay after weighing the evidence. C (热点话题)In today’s data-driven world, the value of data has been likened to that of oil, but unlike oil, data is not a finite resource — it grows continuously as new information is created. Businesses, particularly those employing AI algorithms, rely on data more than ever to drive success. However, a challenge that has arisen is ensuring the data used is reliable, objective, and ethically sourced. Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and “black-box” collection methods, where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, raising ethical and legal issues. Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules, businesses should balance their needs with individuals’ rights. This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data, building customer trust and reducing legal risks. They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias. Synthetic data, generated by AI, offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals’ privacy. Although synthetic data isn’t linked to real people, businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies. A notable tool in this space is MIT’s Synthetic Data Vault, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases. Despite its usefulness, there remain concerns about the accuracy of such data when used for critical AI training. Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed. As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 63.What does the phrase “echoes this sentiment” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B.Disapproves of the views on data collection. C.Questions the use of open data collection methods. D.Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 64.What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A.There are tools to ensure data accuracy. B.Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain. C.Ethical data practices lack clear definitions. D.Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 65.Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A.Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B.Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C.Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. D.Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 66.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with AI. B.Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C.Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D.Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The power of placebo (安慰剂) Have you ever taken a pill for a headache and felt instant relief even though there’s no way the medicine could have taken effect so quickly? If so, you’ve personally experienced a medical phenomenon known as the placebo effect. 67 In the above situation regarding your headache, the active ingredient (成分) couldn’t have been responsible for your reduced pain. So why did the symptoms improve? Scientists don’t completely understand the mechanisms behind the effect, but they have determined that an individual’s conditioning and expectations likely play a major role. With your headache, for example, you expected the painkiller to work because pills have relieved your headaches in the past. 68 In fact, the latter means a placebo can still work even when someone knows it’s not real medicine! Other factors that can influence how well a treatment works include being told it’s effective by a doctor, your doctor’s body language or tone of voice, and the knowledge that you’ re taking action to solve the problem. 69 If you believe a drug will be ineffective at relieving your symptoms, for instance, it is less likely to work. Even worse, if you expect to suffer side effects from your medication, you probably will. This puts doctors in a tricky position — they’ re required by law to inform patients of risks, yet doing so could negatively affect recovery. The best way to avoid this undesirable effect, according to some experts, is for doctors to phrase dangers in the most encouraging way possible or ask people if they’ re willing to remain unaware of minor side effects. The power of the placebo effect opens up an exciting opportunity to explore new avenues. Though we may not fully grasp how the placebo effects work, one thing is clear: our minds have an amazing ability to shape not only our thoughts but also our physical health. 70 A.Unfortunately, our expectations can also work against us. B.Believe it or not, there are limits to even the strongest placebo effect. C.This effect occurs when a patient is given a treatment that is able to improve their symptoms even though it lacks an active ingredient. D.Additionally, you probably associate pills in general with recovering from illness. E.If we can learn to make use of the power of positive thinking, perhaps one day we can even move beyond using traditional drugs to treat minor symptoms! F.And in routine medical practice, placebos are rarely used on purpose. IV.Summary Writing (共10分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Most humans have some physical characteristics that they wish they could change, such as a facial feature or extra fat. Many people can comfortably live with these characteristics, but for some, their negative body image significantly affects their daily lives. The latter group are said to have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). They find some common aspects, including the face or stomach, impossible to accept. People with BDD often try to alter these features by exercising, changing their hairstyle, using skin care products or even getting plastic surgery. Or they may try to hide the features under clothing or makeup. They may look at mirrors constantly or avoid them altogether. They may ask others for reassurance (安慰) that they look OK but not believe that reassurance when it comes. People with BDD sometimes pick at their skin or constantly comb (梳) their hair; at its worst, BDD can lead people to consider or attempt suicide. BDD is often not diagnosed until 10 to 15 years after it develops, largely because it takes time for people to realize their feelings are not normal. But early detection makes a significant difference in quality of life as it allows people to take measures to prevent BDD from getting worse. The primary treatment for BDD is therapy, which often involves teaching the patient to challenge negative thoughts as they come. Some doctors may also prescribe antidepressants (开抗抑郁药). Plastic surgery is not effective at making people with BDD feel better. In fact, the changes in appearance brought about by surgery often compound the problem. If someone you know has BDD, assuring them that they look good will probably not help. Instead, listen patiently and encourage them to seek treatment. And if you think you have BDD, consult a doctor or a trusted friend. The earlier the problem is addressed, the better. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72.此时此刻,每个人的决定都很关键,因为时间已经不多了。(critical) (汉译英) 73.你觉得我们中学生有必要那么关注网红吗?(it) (汉译英) 74.请记住:面对困难和挑战,恒心和耐心可以帮助我们攻坚克难,走向成功。(overcome) (汉译英) 75.他这几天在网上老是收到陌生人的红包。幸亏他没打开,才没有上当受骗。实际上都是陷阱啊!(avoid) (汉译英) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76.Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是高三学生李华,你校这学期邀请外教Tim做系列的英语讲座,上周Tim做了关于英语词汇学习的讲座,同学们感觉很有收获。请你给Tim写一封邮件,内容包括: 1.表达感谢并说明原因; 2. 建议下周讲座的内容。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校:______________姓名:_____________班级:_______________考号:______________________ 2026年高考第一次模拟考试(上海卷) 英语 (考试时间:120分钟 试卷满分:140分) 注意事项: 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 I.Listening Comprehension (第1-10题, 每题1分;第11-20题,每题1.5分;共25分) Section A Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.

II.Grammar and Vocabulary (每题1分;共20分) Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The power of the pen Numerous studies highlight the psychological benefits of writing. For example, researchers found that participants who engaged in a six-week program of expressive writing improved their mental toughness. In another study, researchers analyzed brain scans to see how writing about negative events affected the way such events 21 (process) and handled. They concluded that expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions and 22 writing about a past failure could improve learning. Last year, brain researchers demonstrated that writing by hand 23 typing with a keyboard promoted more complex brain connectivity, which was crucial for memory formation. These findings suggest that the process of writing allows you 24 (clarify) thoughts and “internalize” them, thus increasing the benefits. To cultivate the habit of writing, try the two tips.    Write to people you love. When you write with your audience in mind, you relate to them. Most importantly, you share something precious with loved ones. Think of how you felt the last time someone you cared about 25 (take) time to write you a heartfelt message. You can even use this as an opportunity to save relationships that need 26 (heal) or just to get an extra smile out of someone.    Write appreciation notes at work. When Doug Conant took over as CEO at Campbell’s, he transformed the company culture from unpleasant to award-winning. “Most cultures don’t do a good job of celebrating contributions, so I made 27 a practice to write thank-you notes to our employees.” Conant said, “Over 10 years, it amounted to more than 30,000 notes, 28 we had only 20,000 employees. Wherever I’d go in the world, you’d find my handwritten notes 29 (display) on employees’ bulletin boards(公告栏).” In today’s digital world 30 most communication is electronic, writing heartfelt thank-you notes enhances emotional intelligence and strengthens relationships. It makes your workplace or home better. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A.accents     B.acquire       C. boundaries    D.fulfill      E. guidelines     F. liberally G. precisely    H. priority       I. prospect      J. schedule     K. suspect (新题材)Find Your Life’s Work Everyone has their own life values. You wonder what your vocation is and where you could successfully 31 your potential? Here are some tips. ● Turn Passion into Profit Do not 32 this statement: find something you like and you won’t have to work a day. There is no better 33 than getting good money for your hobby. So, think about what you really like to do even for free. Even if you only love to play online games and taste delicious food, you can go for cooking or tasting, game development or go into e-sports, start a thematic blog—as you can see, there are a lot of options. ● Imagine an Ideal World Another way to understand what is most important to you is to reflect on what an ideal world should look like. Perhaps your purpose is 34 to bring the real world closer to this ideal image. Don’t limit yourself to 35 . Let go of fantasy and let yourself just dream. Write down any thoughts that come to mind. Pay attention to all the details and 36 , and then think about how to translate them into reality. ● Recall Your Best Moments To determine your top 37 , think about the moments in which you experienced the greatest joy. What has given you the most satisfaction in the past? Take a little time and remember all the times when you were sincerely glad. So, you will understand what your main 38 are at this stage of life. ● Create a Roadmap You’ve identified your goals. Now, develop a detailed plan, like drawing a map from your current life to your desired future. Find the best route from point A to point B.Think about what skills you need to 39 and what daily habits are worth adding to your life. The more specific points you put on the map, the easier it will be to 40 them and start moving towards your goal. III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分;56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context (新情境)Ever wondered why you reach for a snack after hitting the gym? Research shows that physical exercise often leads to 41 food consumption. With countless sports events 42 , a new question arises: Can watching sports on a screen also influence how much we eat? The answer is yes. Our research reveals that watching sports videos can increase candy consumption. But there is more to the story: the 43 of the sports you are watching plays a crucial role in these effects. We first invited 112 students to the lab to watch a video and test some candies. The students who saw the sports video ate more candies than those who saw the one without physical activity. To learn more, we invited just the female students to watch videos 44 either easy or difficult-to-perform sports. Students who watched the easy sports video ate much more. We can thus conclude that the ease of the exercise shown 45 impacts candy consumption. To explain our findings, we looked at research on goal 46 . When people feel they are not meeting a goal, they push harder; but once they see 47 , they tend to relax. For example, after a workout, those aiming to stay fit might feel they have achieved advancement and then ease up on their efforts. This can lead to a 48 in the drive to pursue related goals, like healthy eating. Research shows that achieving smaller goals (like exercising) can make people feel they have earned a(n) 49 , which results in overeating. So completing a workout might make you more likely to 50 yourself with extra food than if you had not finished your session.   So what is the 51 for us? Be mindful of how watching sports can affect our eating habits. If you are aiming to stay on track with your diet, watch more 52 sports. Moreover, when setting dieting goals, remind yourself that real progress comes from 53 effort, not just imagining yourself doing a workout. Engage in activities that genuinely challenge you, and pair them with healthy eating habits. This way, you can avoid the trap of feeling the fitness goal to be 54 accomplished and then overeating. In conclusion, should you watch the Olympic Games if you want to 55 your diet? Of course, but it might be better to choose the physical activities you find the most difficult to perform — and watch them without moderation. 41.A.wasteful B.increased C.processed D.healthy 42.A.airing B.happening C.celebrating D.unfolding 43.A.category B.length C.difficulty D.audience 44.A.testing B.promoting C.capturing D.explaining 45.A.misleadingly B.frequently C.rarely D.significantly 46.A.feasibility B.motivation C.visualization D.clarity 47.A.hope B.videos C.treats D.progress 48.A.delay B.drop C.doubt D.confidence 49.A.break B.honor C.diet D.title 50.A.sustain B.prepare C.cheat D.reward 51.A.transition B.stimulation C.implication D.intervention 52.A.instructive B.relaxing C.influential D.challenging 53.A.consistent B.prospective C.ultimate D.individual 54.A.overly B.barely C.prematurely D.remarkably 55.A.put up with B.keep up with C.make up for D.set up for Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Dave McNee met Claudia Mandekic 14 years ago. When she told McNee how hard it could be to get students excited about math, her favourite discipline, he made a surprising suggestion: “Why not throw in something they enjoy, like sports?” The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first shot in 2011, when the now colleagues — who had launched a tutoring non-profit — were invited to run a summer-school program for kids who’d failed Grade 9 math at Georges Secondary School. When the students showed up for their first day, they weren’t exactly excited. Over the next few hours, Mandekic and McNee gave the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage — which, in turn, taught them about fractions and decimal (分数和小数) points. At the end of the game, the winning team was determined based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most efficient math. “When the bell rang, they were so fixated on collecting their data and figuring out which team won that they didn’t leave,” says Mandekic. “I realized we might be onto something.” The classes, later named BallMatics, soon spread to other schools. “I was terrible at math,” says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program. “But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math, it made me a lot better at it. Every time I played basketball, I was thinking about math.” Almost any math problem, McNee and Mandekic realized, can be taught on the court. Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball. In 2019, McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy. At the school, kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects, train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas, now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school’s commitment to academics is the key reason it’s been a winner. “If we didn’t do our work, we weren’t playing at the game,” he says, adding that coaches would bench kids who didn’t keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, not athlete students.” 56.The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers ______. A.the origin of BallMatics B.the challenges facing BallMatics C.the start of a lifelong friendship D.the dedication of the young teachers 57.What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they “might be onto something”? A.The students’ progress in their mathematic skills. B.The students’ changed attitude towards math. C.The data collected about the students’ goal percentage. D.The efficiency in determining the winning team. 58.What will happen to the kids who don’t do well in class according to Douglas? A.They will be forbidden to leave any training session. B.They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C.They will have to attend classes at a private school. D.They will be banned from playing in the game. 59.The best title for the article is ______. A.The Basics of Math B.The Road to Success C.A Sports Principle D.A Numbers Game B Chapter 1 What is critical thinking? Learning outcomes This chapter gives you opportunities to: √ understand what critical thinking is √ find out about the early roots and later developments of critical thinking √ recognize some of the benefits associated with critical thinking skills √ recognize the personal qualities connected to critical thinking √ recognize barriers to the development of good critical thinking skills √ assess your current understanding of critical thinking and identify your priorities for improvement Introduction This chapter provides a general introduction to critical thinking. It examines what is meant by “critical thinking”, the skills associated with it, and the barriers that can slow down effective development of critical approaches. Many people can find it difficult to order their thoughts in a logical, consistent and reasoned way. This book starts from the idea that skills in reasoning can be developed through a better understanding of what critical thinking involves, and by practice. Critical thinking is a cognitive activity connected to using the mind. Learning to think in critically analytical and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention (concentrating on specific details and information), categorization (the process of organizing information into categories based on shared characteristics), selection (selecting relevant information), and judgement (the ability to assess and form well- reasoned conclusions or opinions based on available evidence). However, many people who have the potential to develop more effective critical thinking can be prevented from doing so for a variety of reasons apart from a lack of ability. In particular, personal and emotional, or “affective”, reasons can create barriers. You are invited to consider, in this chapter, how far such barriers could be affecting your own thinking abilities and how you will manage them. 60.According to the learning outcomes, which of the following topics is most likely to be included in Chapter 1? A.Significant works in critical thinking B.Teaching strategies for critical thinking C.Critical thinking: individual or collective? D.Critical thinking: Where does it come from? 61.What can a reader learn in this chapter? A.How a mental process works and what role it plays in making logical reasoning. B.What defines cognitive activity and how emotions can shape critical thinking skills. C.Why individuals possess varying abilities to think critically and how to assess them. D.What is critical thinking and how it can be developed through understanding and practice. 62.Which of the following examples best illustrates the mental process of categorization? A.A student chooses articles that are related to his topic from a large database. B.A student focuses on the main points the teacher emphasizes in a physics class. C.A student sorts notes by grouping them according to different historical periods. D.A student decides which arguments to include in his essay after weighing the evidence. C (热点话题)In today’s data-driven world, the value of data has been likened to that of oil, but unlike oil, data is not a finite resource — it grows continuously as new information is created. Businesses, particularly those employing AI algorithms, rely on data more than ever to drive success. However, a challenge that has arisen is ensuring the data used is reliable, objective, and ethically sourced. Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and “black-box” collection methods, where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, raising ethical and legal issues. Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules, businesses should balance their needs with individuals’ rights. This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data, building customer trust and reducing legal risks. They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias. Synthetic data, generated by AI, offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals’ privacy. Although synthetic data isn’t linked to real people, businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies. A notable tool in this space is MIT’s Synthetic Data Vault, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases.

They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 63.What does the phrase “echoes this sentiment” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B.Disapproves of the views on data collection. C.Questions the use of open data collection methods. D.Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 64.What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A.There are tools to ensure data accuracy. B.Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain. C.Ethical data practices lack clear definitions. D.Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 65.Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A.Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B.Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C.Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. D.Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 66.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with AI. B.Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C.Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D.Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training.

Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Most humans have some physical characteristics that they wish they could change, such as a facial feature or extra fat. Many people can comfortably live with these characteristics, but for some, their negative body image significantly affects their daily lives. The latter group are said to have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). They find some common aspects, including the face or stomach, impossible to accept. People with BDD often try to alter these features by exercising, changing their hairstyle, using skin care products or even getting plastic surgery. Or they may try to hide the features under clothing or makeup. They may look at mirrors constantly or avoid them altogether. They may ask others for reassurance (安慰) that they look OK but not believe that reassurance when it comes. People with BDD sometimes pick at their skin or constantly comb (梳) their hair; at its worst, BDD can lead people to consider or attempt suicide. BDD is often not diagnosed until 10 to 15 years after it develops, largely because it takes time for people to realize their feelings are not normal. But early detection makes a significant difference in quality of life as it allows people to take measures to prevent BDD from getting worse. The primary treatment for BDD is therapy, which often involves teaching the patient to challenge negative thoughts as they come. Some doctors may also prescribe antidepressants (开抗抑郁药). Plastic surgery is not effective at making people with BDD feel better. In fact, the changes in appearance brought about by surgery often compound the problem. If someone you know has BDD, assuring them that they look good will probably not help. Instead, listen patiently and encourage them to seek treatment. And if you think you have BDD, consult a doctor or a trusted friend. The earlier the problem is addressed, the better. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 72.此时此刻,每个人的决定都很关键,因为时间已经不多了。(critical) (汉译英) 73.你觉得我们中学生有必要那么关注网红吗?(it) (汉译英) 74.请记住:面对困难和挑战,恒心和耐心可以帮助我们攻坚克难,走向成功。(overcome) (汉译英) 75.他这几天在网上老是收到陌生人的红包。幸亏他没打开,才没有上当受骗。实际上都是陷阱啊!(avoid) (汉译英) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) 76.Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是高三学生李华,你校这学期邀请外教Tim做系列的英语讲座,上周Tim做了关于英语词汇学习的讲座,同学们感觉很有收获。请你给Tim写一封邮件,内容包括: 1.表达感谢并说明原因; 2. 建议下周讲座的内容。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页(共8页) 试题 第8页(共8页) 试题 第1页(共8页) 试题 第2页(共8页) 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $: 2026年高考第一次模拟考试(上海卷) 英语 (考试时间:120分钟试卷满分:140分) 注意事项: : : 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 . 2.回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡 : 皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 : 3.考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 : I.Listening Comprehension(第1-10题,每题1分;第11-20题,每题1.5分;共25分) : 0 Section A 水 : Directions:In Section A,you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers.At the end of each 尽 conversation,a question will be asked about what was said The conversations and the questions will be spoken : only once.After you hear a conversation ad the question about it,read the four possible aswers on your paper : and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

The power of the pen Numerous studies highlight the psychological benefits of writing.For example,researchers found that participants who engaged in a six-week program of expressive writing improved their mental toughness. 试题第3页(共14页) In another study,researchers analyzed brain scans to see how writing about negative events affected the O way such events 21 (process)and handled.They concluded that expressive writing might be an effective tool to address negative emotions and 22 writing about a past failure could improve learning. Last year,brain researchers demonstrated that writing by hand 23 typing with a keyboard promoted more complex brain connectivity,which was crucial for memory formation. 成 These findings suggest that the process of writing allows you 24 (clarify)thoughts and "internalize"them,thus increasing the benefits. To cultivate the habit of writing,try the two tips.Write to people you love. 张 When you write with your audience in mind,you relate to them.Most importantly,you share something precious with loved ones.Think of how you felt the last time someone you cared about25(take)time to write you a heartfelt message.You can even use this as an opportunity to save relationships that need 26 (heal)or just to get an extra smile out of someone.Write appreciation notes at work. 游 擗 When Doug Conant took over as CEO at Campbell's,he transformed the company culture from unpleasant 游 to award-winning."Most cultures don't do a good job of celebrating contributions,so I made 27 a practice to write thank-you notes to our employees."Conant said,"Over 10 years,it amounted to more than O 30,000 notes,28 we had only 20,000 employees.Wherever I'd go in the world,you'd find my handwritten notes 29(display)on employees'bulletin boards(公告栏).” In today's digital world 30 most communication is electronic,writing heartfelt thank-you 0 notes enhances emotional intelligence and strengthens relationships.It makes your workplace or home better.

To explain our findings,we looked at research on goal 46.When people feel they are not meeting a goal,they push harder;but once they see 47,they tend to relax.For example,after a workout,those aiming to stay fit might feel they have achieved advancement and then ease up on their efforts.This can lead to a 48 in the drive to pursue related goals,like healthy eating.Research shows that achieving smaller goals (like exercising)can make people feel they have earned a(n)49,which results in overeating.So completing a workout might make you more likely to 50 yourself with extra food than if you had not finished your session So what is the 51 for us?Be mindful of how watching sports can affect our eating habits.If you are aiming to stay on track with your diet,watch more 52 sports.Moreover,when setting dieting goals, remind yourself that real progress comes from 53 effort,not just imagining yourself doing a workout. Engage in activities that genuinely challenge you,and pair them with healthy eating habits.This way,you can avoid the trap of feeling the fitness goal to be 54 accomplished and then overeating.

The classes,later named BallMatics,soon spread to other schools."I was terrible at math,"says Douglas, who enrolled in a fast-track summer program."But once I started BallMatics and realized the sport I loved was directly tied to math,it made me a lot better at it.Every time I played basketball,I was thinking about math." Almost any math problem,McNee and Mandekic realized,can be taught on the court.Kids can learn how to navigate an X-Y grid to find their next shooting spot or absorb the basic principles of trigonometry based on the angle at which they release the ball.In 2019,McNec and Mandekic established a private high school called Uchenna Academy.At the school,kids with top basketball skills can study all subjects,train at their sport and work part-time helping out with the BallMatics afterschool programs. Douglas,now 20 and earning a degree in education believes the school's commitment to academics is the key reason it's been a winner."If we didn't do our work,we weren't playing at the game,"he says,adding that coaches would bench kids who didn't keep up in class."At Uchenna,we were student athletes,not athlete students.” 56.The first two paragraphs are intended to tell the readers A.the origin of BallMatics B.the challenges facing BallMatics 试题第7页(共14页) C.the start of a lifelong friendship D.the dedication of the young teachers 57.What made Mandekic and McNee realize that they "might be onto something"? A.The students'progress in their mathematic skills. B.The students'changed attitude towards math. C.The data collected about the students'goal percentage. D.The efficiency in determining the winning team. 58.What will happen to the kids who don't do well in class according to Douglas? A.They will be forbidden to leave any training session 张 B.They will be obliged to earn a training degree first. C.They will have to attend classes at a private school. D.They will be banned from play ing in the game 江加 59.The best title for the article is 数 擗 A.The Basics of Math B.The Road to Success 游 C.A Sports Principle D.ANumbers Game B Chapter 1 What is critical thinking? Learning outcomes This chapter gives you opportunities to: understand what critical thinking is find out about the early roots and later developments of critical thinking 些 recognize some of the benefits associated with critical thinking skills ·: recognize the personal qualities connected to critical thinking V recognize barriers to the development of good critical thinking skills assess your current understanding of critical thinking and identify your priorities for improvement Introduction 焙 This chapter provides a general introduction to critical thinking.It examines what is meant by"critical thinking",the skills associated with it,and the barriers that can slow down effective development of critical approaches.Many people can find it difficult to order their thoughts in a logical,consistent and reasoned way.This book starts from the idea that skills in reasoning can be developed through a better understanding of what critical thinking involves,and by practice. 试题第8页(共14页) : Critical thinking is a cognitive activity connected to using the mind.Learning to think in critically : analytical and evaluative ways means using mental processes such as attention (concentrating on specific details : and information),categorization (the process of organizing information into categories based on shared : : characteristics),selection (selecting relevant information),and judgement (the ability to assess and form well- reasoned conclusions or opinions based on available evidence).However,many people who have the potential to : develop more effective critical thinking can be prevented from doing so for a variety of reasons apart from a lack of ability.In particular,personal and emotional,or"affective,reasons can create barriers. You are invited to consider,in this chapter,how far such barriers could be affecting your own thinking : abilities and how you will manage them. 60.According to the learning outcomes,which of the following topics is most likely to be included in Chapter 1? : A.Significant works in critical thinking B.Teaching strategies for critical thinking C.Critical thinking:individual or collective?D.Critical thinking:Where does it come from? : 尽 61.What can a reader learn in this chapter? A.How a mental process works and what role it plays in making logical reasoning B.What defines cognitive activity and how emotions can shape critical thinking skills C.Why individuals possess varying abilities to think critically and how to assess them. O D.What is critical thinking and how it can be developed through understanding and practice. : 62.Which of the following examples best illustrates the mental process of categorization? A.A student chooses articles that are related to his topic from a large database. B.A student focuses on the main points the teacher emphasizes in a physics class. C.A student sorts notes by grouping them according to different historical periods. .: D.A student decides which arguments to include in his essay after weighing the evidence. : : (In today's data-driven world,the value of data has been likened to that of oil,but unlike oil, data is not a finite resource-it grows continuously as new information is created.Businesses,particularly those 区 employing aI algorithms,rely on data more than ever to drive success.However,a challenge that has arisen is : ensuring the data used is reliable,objective,and ethically sourced.Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and "black-box"collection methods,where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, : raising ethical and legal issues. O Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA)stresses that ethical practices in data 试题第9页(共14页) : : 可学科网·学易金卷德就想品 collection are essential,especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes.Stephen Lester,CTO at Paragon,echoes this sentiment,noting that companies should use open methods to collect data,ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules,businesses should balance their needs with individuals'rights.This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data,building customer trust and reducing legal risks.They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However,obtaining reliable data isn't always straightforward.Open-source datasets are available,but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias.Synthetic data,generated by Al,offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals'privacy.Although synthetic data isn't linked to real people,businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies.A notable tool in this space is MIT's Synthetic Data Vault,which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases.Despite its usefulness,there remain concerns about the accuracy of such data when used for critical AI training. Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms.He notes that while synthetic data can be useful,businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained,paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed. As ethical concerns rise,businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices.They should know where their data comes from,avoid unreliable sources,and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair.Ultimately,organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 63.What does the phrase"echoes this sentiment"in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A.Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B.Disapproves of the views on data collection. C.Questions the use of open data collection methods. D.Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 64.What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A.There are tools to ensure data accuracy.B.Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain C.Ethical data practices lack clear definitions.D.Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 65.Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A.Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B.Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C.Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. 试题第10页(共14页) 学科网·学易金卷做既燕限家是语 D.Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 66.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with Al. B.Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C.Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D.Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training. Section C Directions:Conplete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once.Note that there are two sentences nore than you need The power of placebo(安慰剂) Have you ever taken a pill for a headache and felt instant relief even though there's no way the medicine could have taken effect so quickly?If so,you've personally experienced a medical phenomenon known as the placebo effect.67 In the above situation regarding your headache,the active ingredient (couldn't have been responsible for your reduced pain.So why did the symptoms improve? Scientists don't completely understand the mechanisms behind the effect,but they have determined that an individual's conditioning and expectations likely play a major role.With your headache,for example,you expected the painkiller to work because pills have relieved your headaches in the past.68 In fact,the latter means a placebo can still work even when someone knows it's not real medicine!Other factors that can influence how well a treatment works include being told it's effective by a doctor,your doctor's body language or tone of voice,and the knowledge that you're taking action to solve the problem. 69 If you believe a drug will be ineffective at relieving your symptoms,for instance,it is less likely to work.Even worse,if you expect to suffer side effects from your medication,you probably will.This puts doctors in a tricky position-they're required by law to inform patients of risks,yet doing so could negatively affect recovery.The best way to avoid this undesirable effect,according to some experts,is for doctors to phrase dangers in the most encouraging way possible or ask people if they're willing to remain unaware of minor side effects. The power of the placebo effect opens up an exciting opportunity to explore new avenues.Though we may not fully grasp how the placebo effects work,one thing is clear:our minds have an amazing ability to shape not only our thoughts but also our physical health.70 A.Unfortunately,our expectations can also work against us. 试题第11页(共14页) B.Believe it or not,there are limits to even the strongest placebo effect. C.This effect occurs when a patient is given a treatment that is able to improve their symptoms even though it lacks an active ingredient. D.Additionally,you probably associate pills in general with recovering from illness. E.If we can learn to make use of the power of positive thinking,perhaps one day we can even move beyond using traditional drugs to treat minor symptoms! F.And in routine medical practice,placebos are rarely used on purpose. 张 IV.Summary Writing(共10分) Directions:Read the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible. 0 Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) 数 擗 Most humans have some physical characteristics that they wish they could change,such as a facial feature 游 or extra fat.Many people can comfortably live with these characteristics,but for some,their negative body image significantly affects their daily lives.The latter group are said to have body dysmorphic disorder(BDD).They find O some common aspects,including the face or stomach,impossible to accept. People with BDD often try to alter these features by exercising,changing their hairstyle,using skin care products or even getting plastic surgery.Or they may try to hide the features under clothing or makeup.They may 0 look at mirrors constantly or avoid them altogether.They may ask others for reassurace (that they look OK but not believe that reassurance when it comes.People with BDD sometimes pick at their skin or constantly comb ()their hair;at its worst,BDD can lead people to consider or attempt suicide. 些 BDD is often not diagnosed until 10 to 15 years after it develops,largely because it takes time for people : to realize their feelings are not normal.But early detection makes a significant difference in quality of life as it allows people to take measures to prevent BDD from getting worse.The primary treatment for BDD is therapy, which often involves teaching the patient to challenge negative thoughts as they come.Some doctors may also prescribe antidepressants(开抗抑郁药).Plastic surgery is not effective at making people with BDD feel better.n 烯 fact,the changes in appearance brought about by surgery often compound the problem. If someone you know has BDD,assuring them that they look good will probably not help.Instead,listen patiently and encourage them to seek treatment.And if you think you have BDD,consult a doctor or a trusted friend.The earlier the problem is addressed,the better. 试题第12页(共14页) O : V.Translation(共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分:第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English,using the words given in the brackets 72.此时此刻,每个人的决定都很关键,因为时间已经不多了。(critica)(汉译英) 73.你觉得我们中学生有必要那么关注网红吗?()(汉译英) 74.请记住:面对困难和挑战,恒心和耐心可以帮助我们攻坚克难,走向成功。(overcome)(汉译英) 尽 75.他这几天在网上老是收到陌生人的红包。幸亏他没打开,才没有上当受骗。实际上都是陷阱啊!(void) : (汉译英) : I.Guided Writing(共25分) O 76.Directions:Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 假如你是高三学生李华,你校这学期邀请外教Tim做系列的英语讲座,上周Tim做了关于英语词汇学习的 婆 讲座,同学们感觉很有收获。请你给Tim写一封邮件,内容包括: 1表达感谢并说明原因: 2.建议下周讲座的内容。 .… ..0 : 试题第13页(共14页) : 学科网·学易金卷慨树落界家语 试题第14页(共14页) 2026年高考第一次模拟考试(上海卷) 参考答案 (考试时间:120分钟 试卷满分:140分) I.
