So when my grandma asked me to learn paper-cutting with her last summer, I agreed only out of politeness. Grandma had been a paper-cutting artist for over 50 years. Her works, featuring lions, peonies and folk stories, decorated every corner of our house. But my first attempt was frustrating. The scissors slipped constantly, and the paper-cut rabbit I made looked more like a funny-looking cat. “Why bother with this when modern printing can do it better and faster?” I complained. Grandma didn’t argue. She just handed me an old album full of her works from different years. In the album, I saw a paper-cut of a family reunion she made for my parents’ wedding, and another of a little girl chasing butterflies-drawn for me when I was born. “Paper-cutting isn’t just about patterns,” she said gently. “Every cut carries memories and emotions that machines can’t copy.” That night, I stayed up watching her work. Her gnarled (粗糙的) fingers moved quickly, and a vivid dragon took shape on the red paper in minutes. Inspired, I tried again. This time, I decided to combine tradition with technology. I used computer software to design a draft of a paper-cut themed on “lunar new year’s reunion”, then followed grandma’s teachings to refine every detail by hand. When I showed her the final work — a mix of classic patterns and modern composition — her eyes lit up. Later, we submitted it to a cultural heritage competition and won the second prize. Now, I run a small online account sharing our collaborative works. Many young people comment that they’ve started to appreciate traditional crafts again. Modern technology is powerful, but grandma taught me that the warmth of human hands and the emotions in handcrafted works are irreplaceable. This experience didn’t just make me love paper-cutting; it made me understand how to protect traditions in a fast-paced, industrialized world. 4. Why did the author agree to learn paper-cutting at first? A. She was eager to inherit the traditional craft. B. She wanted to combine it with digital technology. C. She didn’t want to make her grandma unhappy. D. She needed it for her digital media courses. 5. What did grandma do when the author complained about paper-cutting? A. She criticized the author’s impatience directly. B. She showed the author her collection of works. C. She taught the author advanced cutting skills. D. She argued with the author about modern technology’s limitations. 6. How did the author improve her paper-cutting? A. She learned from mass-produced patterns entirely. B. She copied grandma’s old works repeatedly. C. She combined computer design with hand-refining. D. She attended a professional paper-cutting training. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards grandma? A. Admiring and thankful. B. Indifferent and unconcerned. C. Critical and dissatisfied. D. Doubtful and dismissive. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了数字媒体专业的作者从认为传统剪纸过时，到在奶奶的引导下学习剪纸，并结合现代技术创新创作，最终领悟传统手工艺价值的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“So when my grandma asked me to learn paper-cutting with her last summer, I agreed only out of politeness.(所以去年夏天奶奶让我跟她学剪纸时，我只是出于礼貌才答应的)”可知，作者答应学剪纸是不想让奶奶不高兴。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Why bother with this when modern printing can do it better and faster?” I complained. Grandma didn’t argue. She just handed me an old album full of her works from different years.(“现代印刷技术能更快更好地完成，何苦还要费这个劲？”我抱怨道。奶奶没有争辩，只是递给我一本旧相册，里面全是她这些年的作品)”可知，作者抱怨时奶奶拿出了自己的作品集给她看。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This time, I decided to combine tradition with technology. I used computer software to design a draft of a paper-cut themed on “lunar new year’s reunion”, then followed grandma’s teachings to refine every detail by hand.(这一次，我决定将传统与技术结合起来。我用电脑软件设计了一幅以“春节团圆”为主题的剪纸草稿，然后遵照奶奶的教导，手工打磨每一处细节)”可知，作者通过结合电脑设计和手工精修的方式提升了自己的剪纸水平。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“When I showed her the final work — a mix of classic patterns and modern composition — her eyes lit up. Later, we submitted it to a cultural heritage competition and won the second prize.(当我给她看最后的作品——经典图案和现代构图的融合——她的眼睛亮了起来。后来我们把这幅作品送去参加一个文化遗产比赛，还得了二等奖)”以及第五段中“Modern technology is powerful, but grandma taught me that the warmth of human hands and the emotions in handcrafted works are irreplaceable.(现代技术固然强大，但奶奶让我明白了，手工的温度和手工艺品里蕴含的情感是无可替代的)”可知，作者对奶奶是钦佩且心怀感激的。故选A。 C When it comes to embracing artificial intelligence, men seem to be all in, but women are more cautious in their usage. Women are adopting AI tools at a 25% lower rate than men on average. When it comes to AI usage on phones, the gender divide is even more striking; between May 2023 and November 2024, a mere 27.2% of total ChatGPT application downloads were estimated to have come from women. The researchers found that in many cases, women worried that their skills and knowledge would be questioned if they used AI. “A female software engineer may be worried that if she uses AI, her manager might view her as less competent,” said Rembrand Koning, one of the coauthors of the study. It’s possible that high-performing women may place self-restrictions on AI use, said Catalina Franco, another co-author of the study. “For example, top-performing female students may be more cautious about using tools that have not been clearly approved by their professors or may worry that reliance on AI could signal a lack of competence,” she said. On the contrary, men are less worried about potential penalties (不利的后果) for using AI and more willing to try it out. Beyond being less cautious, men are also more likely to have an interest and enroll in science-related fields, which translates to having a general interest in emerging technology like AI. “The disparities (差异) in the adoption of generative AI is a design problem — it is developed by a mostly white male workforce and trained on the questions and preferences of men — not a gender problem,” said Catalina Franco. “Women may not be jumping on the AI bandwagon for the simple reason that the tech isn’t built with them in mind.” If AI’s workforce impact is inevitable, women must now strategically upskill and experiment. Otherwise, disparities in AI use could widen gender gaps in pay and job opportunities. What matters currently is not merely who are more willing to adopt AI, but how they use it, noted MIT researcher Dishita Turakhia. 8. Why do some women avoid using AI tools? A. It fails to improve their skills. B. It brings about unkind judgment. C. It is forbidden by their professors. D. It leads to job losses for them. 9. What contributes to men’s embracing AI? A. They are drawn by science-related fields B. They seek more opportunities in their careers. C. They desire to develop new technologies. D. They are unaware of the potential risks of AI. 10. What do the underlined words “jumping on the AI bandwagon” in Para. 6 mean? A. Criticizing AI technology seriously B. Showing little interest in AI products C. Joining the trend of using AI actively D. Working on AI research and development 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Risks of AI Tools Faced by Women. B. AI Widens Gaps Between Men and Women. C. Women Are More Careful than Men with AI D. Overcome Skepticism to Adopt New Technology. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。分析了男女在人工智能使用上的差异，探讨了女性对AI更谨慎的原因及这一差异的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers found that in many cases, women worried that their skills and knowledge would be questioned if they used AI. (研究人员发现，在许多情况下，女性担心如果她们使用人工智能，她们的技能和知识会受到质疑)”以及“A female software engineer may be worried that if she uses AI, her manager might view her as less competent (一名女性软件工程师可能会担心，如果她使用人工智能，她的经理可能会认为她的能力较差)”可知，女性避免使用AI工具是因为担心会得到负面评价和不友善的判断。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“men are less worried about potential penalties for using AI and more willing to try it out (男性不太担心使用AI的不利后果，他们更愿意去尝试)”以及“Beyond being less cautious, men are also more likely to have an interest and enroll in science-related fields (除了更不谨慎，男性也更可能对科学相关领域感兴趣并参与其中)”可知，男性投身科学相关领域的兴趣促成了他们对AI的接纳。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“The disparities in the adoption of generative AI is a design problem — it is developed by a mostly white male workforce and trained on the questions and preferences of men (在采用生成式人工智能方面的差异是一个设计问题，它是由大部分白人男性劳动力开发的，并根据男性的问题和偏好进行培训)”以及“Women may not be jumping on the AI bandwagon for the simple reason that the tech isn’t built with them in mind. (女性可能不会_____，原因很简单，这项技术并没有考虑到她们)”的前后因果关系可知，jumping on the AI bandwagon指的是像大多数男性那样，积极地加入使用AI这一新兴技术的趋势。bandwagon原指游行中的乐队花车，引申为“潮流、热潮”。jump on the bandwagon是固定习语，意为“赶浪头、加入潮流”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段“When it comes to embracing artificial intelligence, men seem to be all in, but women are more cautious in their usage. (在接纳人工智能方面，男性似乎全身心投入，而女性使用时更为谨慎)”点明了全文的核心论点——男女在对待AI的谨慎程度上存在差异，后续段落分别用数据(第二段)、心理原因(第三、四段)、男性视角对比(第五段)、设计根源(第六段)和社会影响(第七段)来详细阐述和支撑这一核心观点。选项C“女性比男性对AI更谨慎”精准地抓住了全文论述的焦点和主线。故选C。 D A little over 20 percent of India’s households own an air conditioner or cooler, and fewer than a third have refrigerators — leaving hundreds of millions of people to face rising temperatures without artificial cooling. But an innovation that’s at least 3,000 years old terracotta (赤陶) is emerging as a low-cost, low-energy alternative. Once used by the Bronze Age Harappan civilization to store water this earthenware still stands on the shelves of rural Indian homes as pots that cool water without electricity and cost as little as a dollar each. “Terracotta’s porous (多孔的) surface allows water to slowly evaporate (蒸发), carrying heat away and cooling the space around it,” says Adithya Pradyumna, an environmental health researcher at Azim Premji University in Bengaluru. Drawing on this principle, architects in India are turning to terracotta for new, passive cooling solutions that range from clay refrigerators to tiles and outer walls with holes that allow natural air to flow and help heat and moisture transfer between indoor and outdoor environments. Passive cooling uses building design to regulate indoor temperatures with natural materials, strategic airflow and well-controlled shading. This approach works particularly well in dry places — like parts of the Pacific Northwest, where it can reduce air-conditioning loads by up to 70 percent. A pioneer in this field is Delhi-based design company Ant Studio, whose CoolAnt project uses terracotta as a second skin on concrete buildings. “We’ve taken advantage of its water absorbing quality and observed average temperature drops of six to eight degrees Celsius across more than 30 sites” in India, says studio founder Monish Siripurapu. Meanwhile Gujarat-based company MittiCool has created clay “refrigerators” that purportedly keep food fresh for three to five days without power — invaluable in homes without reliable electricity. Niyati Gupta, a senior program associate at research institute WRI India, says terracotta “can work with existing cooling systems and reduce our dependence on the fossil fuel power. That alone could be a game changer for both the energy and construction sectors.” 12. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 1? A. To compare different cooling methods. B. To stress the seriousness of the problem. C. To show the popularity of air conditioners. D. To explain the cost of artificial cooling. 13. What is the advantage of terracotta? A. It works perfectly in all areas. B. It uses less electricity to make. C. It’s inexpensive and energy-saving. D. It shows the beauty of ancient wisdom. 14. What is the primary function of the holes in the terracotta tiles and walls? A. To trap heat and moisture. B. To store water for cooling. C. To allow air to pass through. D. To make water cool faster. 15. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. Terracotta’s modern applications. B. Temperature drops due to terracotta. C. Achievements of two Indian companies. D. The advantages of terracotta over electricity. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种应对印度高温问题的创新性低成本方案——古老的赤陶技术，这种被动式制冷技术不仅能有效降低温度，还能减少对化石燃料的依赖，具有重要的能源和环保意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A little over 20 percent of India’s households own an air conditioner or cooler, and fewer than a third have refrigerators — leaving hundreds of millions of people to face rising temperatures without artificial cooling.(印度仅有略超20%的家庭拥有空调或冷风机，拥有冰箱的家庭不足三分之一——这意味着数亿人在气温不断攀升时，无法依靠人工制冷设备避暑。)”可知，这些具体的数字直观地揭示了有数亿印度人在气温上升时缺乏人工冷却手段的严峻现实，为下文引入赤陶解决方案做了充分的铺垫。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But an innovation that’s at least 3,000 years old terracotta (赤陶) is emerging as a low-cost, low-energy alternative. Once used by the Bronze Age Harappan civilization to store water this earthenware still stands on the shelves of rural Indian homes as pots that cool water without electricity and cost as little as a dollar each.(但一项有着至少3000年历史的创新产物——赤陶，正逐渐成为一种低成本、低能耗的替代品。这种陶器曾被青铜时代的哈拉帕文明用于储水，如今在印度农村家庭的储物架上依然可见：它们无需用电就能冷却水源，每个售价仅约1美元。)”可知，赤陶技术成本极低，且具备节能的特点。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Drawing on this principle, architects in India are turning to terracotta for new, passive cooling solutions that range from clay refrigerators to tiles and outer walls with holes that allow natural air to flow and help heat and moisture transfer between indoor and outdoor environments.(基于这一原理，印度的建筑师们正将赤陶应用于新型被动式制冷方案中，涵盖陶土冰箱、带孔瓷砖及外墙等形态：这些设计能让自然空气流通，助力室内外热量与湿气的交换。)”可知，孔洞的核心功能是形成空气通道。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段中“A pioneer in this field is Delhi-based design company Ant Studio, whose CoolAnt project uses terracotta as a second skin on concrete buildings. “We’ve taken advantage of its water absorbing quality and observed average temperature drops of six to eight degrees Celsius across more than 30 sites” in India, says studio founder Monish Siripurapu.(德里的设计公司Ant Studio是该领域的先行者，其CoolAnt项目将赤陶作为混凝土建筑的第二层皮肤。工作室创始人Monish Siripurapu表示：“我们利用了赤陶的吸水特性，在印度30多个项目地点中，观测到温度平均下降了6至8摄氏度。”)”以及“Meanwhile Gujarat-based company MittiCool has created clay “refrigerators” that purportedly keep food fresh for three to five days without power-invaluable in homes without reliable electricity.(与此同时，总部位于古吉拉特邦的MittiCool公司打造出了陶土“冰箱”，据称无需电力就能让食物保鲜3至5天——这对于供电不稳定的家庭而言，无疑具有不可估量的价值。)”可知，这些例子共同说明了古老的材料正如何被创新地应用于解决当代问题。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 They say a dog is man’s best friend, but sometimes the two just don’t connect. When this connection fails to form, daily coexistence becomes challenging for both the owner and the pet. Giving up a family pet can be heartbreaking. ___16___ Their work has confirmed a common suspicion: dogs really look like their owners. More importantly, for a lasting friendship, they often have similar personalities. How do these similarities show? One area is physical appearance. ___17___ Some sources of similarity are clear — women with short hair often own dogs with floppy ears, while those with long hair prefer long-eared breeds. ___18___ Introverted (内向的) owners often have dogs that are more nervous around strangers. On the other hand, conscientious (认真的) people own dogs that are more motivated and easier to train. Why does this happen? Psychologists say that humans naturally value relationships with those who look and behave like them. ___19___ However, the matching of personalities is more complex than the matching of looks. It’s not just about choice. ___20___ For example, being around less confident people could make a dog more nervous. Similar influences have been found in human relationships, like married couples who grow to resemble each other over time. So, for the best results, finding a dog that looks and thinks like you might be important. Alternatively, you could consider a cat. A. Another similar mirroring effect happens with personality. B. Adopting a dog from a shelter can be a rewarding experience C. Training a dog to be friendly requires a lot of patience and time. D. Dogs often physically resemble their owners in noticeable ways. E. So researchers in Germany are studying what makes a perfect match. F. This idea also seems to apply to the bonds between humans and dogs. G. The owner’s behavior can actually shape the dog’s personality over time. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了狗狗与主人之间在外貌和性格上的相似性，以及这种相似性对双方关系的影响。 【16题详解】 上文“Giving up a family pet can be heartbreaking.(放弃一只家庭宠物可能会令人心碎。)”暗示了问题的存在，以及下文“Their work has confirmed a common suspicion: dogs really look like their owners.(他们的研究证实了一个普遍的猜测：狗狗和主人长得很像。)”可知，这里的“Their work”指代的是前文提到的研究。因此，空格处应该是一个承上启下的句子，引出这项研究。E选项“So researchers in Germany are studying what makes a perfect match.(因此德国的研究人员正在研究什么能促成完美的匹配。)”解释了为什么会有这项研究，能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“what makes a perfect match”与下文的“dogs really look like their owners”相呼应，表示研究的内容。故选E。 【17题详解】 由上文“One area is physical appearance.(其中一个方面是外貌。)”以及下文“Some sources of similarity are clear-women with short hair often own dogs with floppy ears, while those with long hair prefer long-eared breeds.(一些相似性的来源很明显——短发女性通常养耳朵耷拉着的狗，而长发女性更喜欢长耳朵品种的狗。)”可知，这是在具体举例说明狗与主人在外貌上的相似性。因此，空格处应该是一个总起句，概括这种相似性。D选项“Dogs often physically resemble their owners in noticeable ways.(狗狗通常在外形上与主人有着明显的相似之处。)”能承接上下文，符合题意，该选项中的“physically resemble”与上文的“physical appearance”相呼应，且与下文的具体例子相匹配。故选D。 【18题详解】 由下文“Introverted (内向的) owners often have dogs that are more nervous around strangers. On the other hand, conscientious(认真的) people own dogs that are more motivated and easier to train.(内向的主人养的狗在陌生人面前往往更紧张。另一方面，认真的人养的狗更积极，也更容易训练。)”可知，这是在讨论主人的性格与狗的性格之间的相似性。因此，空格处应该是一个过渡句，引出性格方面的相似性。A选项“Another similar mirroring effect happens with personality.(另一种类似的镜像效应发生在性格方面。)”能引出下文，符合题意，该选项中的“personality”与下文的“Introverted”及“conscientious”相呼应，表示性格上的匹配。故选A。 【19题详解】 由上文“Psychologists say that humans naturally value relationships with those who look and behave like them.(心理学家表示，人类天生重视与自己外貌和行为相似的人建立关系。)”可知，这是在解释一种普遍的心理现象。空格后说“However, the matching of personalities is more complex than the matching of looks. (然而，性格的匹配比外貌的匹配更复杂)”，这是一个转折，开始讨论性格匹配的复杂性。因此，空格处应该是一个总结句，将前文提到的心理现象与人类和狗之间的关系联系起来。F选项“This idea also seems to apply to the bonds between humans and dogs.(这个观点似乎也适用于人类和狗之间的关系。)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项中的“This idea”指代上文的“humans naturally value relationships with those who look and behave like them”，且“apply to the bonds between humans and dogs”与文章主题相呼应。故选F。 【20题详解】 由上文“It’s not just about choice.(这不仅仅是选择的问题。)”以及下文“For example, being around less confident people could make a dog more nervous.(例如，和不那么自信的人在一起可能会让狗更紧张。)”可知，这是在举例说明主人的行为如何影响狗的性格。因此，空格处应该是一个概括性的句子，指出主人的行为对狗性格的影响。G选项“The owner’s behavior can actually shape the dog’s personality over time.(主人的行为实际上会随着时间的推移塑造狗狗的性格。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“shape the dog’s personality”与下文的例子相呼应，表示主人行为的影响。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When my wife and I started “Little Acorns”, a self-esteem program for children, we learned about an important educational conference to be held in San Diego.

To prepare for Diwali, one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in my home country, I was busy enjoying the task of cleaning along with my younger sister in the shop of my family. Suddenly, the door bell rang. I opened the door only to find myself attracted by the beauty of a lady in a red cotton dress with a black border. She had extremely good features. Without a second thought I complimented her by saying, “You are a very beautiful lady.” I welcomed her and asked what her name was. She replied, “I am Bindu.” After a happy conversation between two girls, Bindu shared her contact details and address and left. The Diwali day had finally arrived. I told my mom that I was going to meet Bindu at her place that afternoon. My mother agreed but told me to go home early. I was given a warm welcome at Bindu’s place. The welcome smile especially made me feel at home. Bindu said it was for the first time that “normal people” other than government community people (they helped the poor) came to their society to visit a friend. Our endless talk continued. I noticed, throughout our conversation, Bindu hadn’t said a single negative word. She didn’t discuss her sorrow, struggle and problems. Through the visit, I felt a positive atmosphere. Then I realized words could make a powerful impact on a person’s life. After that moment I would avoid negative words while interacting with people. Days passed by and our companionship grew stronger. Whenever I felt stressed at work, I called Bindu. Her powerful words motivated me. Those days I was staying in Udaipur, searching for a new room. Finally, I selected two rooms, but because of my divorce (离婚) (In my home country, women, especially divorced women, are always looked down upon), landowners refused to provide the room. I was totally frustrated. 注意： （1） 续写词数应为150左右； （2） 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I decided to call my friend Bindu and share my experience with her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding back doubts, I bravely continued my search. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I decided to call my friend Bindu and share my experience with her. My voice cracked as I poured out the two rejections — each “no” replaying in my head. She sighed softly, then said firmly: “Frustrated over two? Rejection is now a part of my life. Don’t lose hope. Believe in yourself. Be patient. It will all work out.” Her warm, steady tone wrapped around me like a hug. Like always, her powerful words not only healed my pain, but also kindled the flame of hope in my heart. Holding back doubts, I bravely continued my search. After months of endless calls and disappointing viewings, I finally found a sunlit room with a small balcony. The landlady, a kind old lady, never cared about my marital status. I grabbed my phone right away to call Bindu with the good news — I had settled down at last. I sank into the chair on the balcony, bathed in the sunshine of relief and joy. Bindu’s words echoed in my ears — softly but steadily: “Believe in yourself. It will all work out.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在2016年与Bindu结识，从初见被其吸引，到迪瓦利节去她家做客，受其积极影响改变说话方式，二人友谊加深，之后作者在乌代布尔租房，却因离婚遭房东拒绝而倍感沮丧的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我决定给朋友宾杜打电话，和她说说我的遭遇。”可知，第一段可描写作者向Bindu倾诉租房被拒的委屈，以及她给予的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“压下心头的疑虑，我鼓起勇气继续寻找。”可知，第二段可描写作者坚持寻找后成功租到房间，并向Bindu报喜的过程。 2. 续写线索： 租房被拒—— 向Bindu倾诉—— 得到鼓励—— 继续寻找—— 成功租房—— 告知Bindu 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 倾诉：pour out/ open up ② 鼓励：kindle hope/ cheer up ③ 拥抱： hug/ embrace 情绪类 ① 沮丧的：frustrated/ disappointed ② 喜悦：joy/ delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】My voice cracked as I poured out the two rejections — each “no” replaying in my head.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】I sank into the chair on the balcony, bathed in the sunshine of relief and joy.(运用了过去分词短语作伴随状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 三台中学2023级高三上第四次月考 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答题前，务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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.考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B As a college student majoring in digital media, I once thought traditional paper-cutting was outdated — especially in the age of modern printing technology that could mass-produce fancy patterns in seconds. So when my grandma asked me to learn paper-cutting with her last summer, I agreed only out of politeness. Grandma had been a paper-cutting artist for over 50 years. Her works, featuring lions, peonies and folk stories, decorated every corner of our house. But my first attempt was frustrating. The scissors slipped constantly, and the paper-cut rabbit I made looked more like a funny-looking cat. “Why bother with this when modern printing can do it better and faster?” I complained. Grandma didn’t argue. She just handed me an old album full of her works from different years. In the album, I saw a paper-cut of a family reunion she made for my parents’ wedding, and another of a little girl chasing butterflies-drawn for me when I was born. “Paper-cutting isn’t just about patterns,” she said gently. “Every cut carries memories and emotions that machines can’t copy.” That night, I stayed up watching her work. Her gnarled (粗糙的) fingers moved quickly, and a vivid dragon took shape on the red paper in minutes. Inspired, I tried again. This time, I decided to combine tradition with technology. I used computer software to design a draft of a paper-cut themed on “lunar new year’s reunion”, then followed grandma’s teachings to refine every detail by hand. When I showed her the final work — a mix of classic patterns and modern composition — her eyes lit up. Later, we submitted it to a cultural heritage competition and won the second prize. Now, I run a small online account sharing our collaborative works. Many young people comment that they’ve started to appreciate traditional crafts again. Modern technology is powerful, but grandma taught me that the warmth of human hands and the emotions in handcrafted works are irreplaceable. This experience didn’t just make me love paper-cutting; it made me understand how to protect traditions in a fast-paced, industrialized world. 4. Why did the author agree to learn paper-cutting at first? A. She was eager to inherit the traditional craft. B. She wanted to combine it with digital technology. C. She didn’t want to make her grandma unhappy. D. She needed it for her digital media courses. 5. What did grandma do when the author complained about paper-cutting? A. She criticized the author’s impatience directly. B. She showed the author her collection of works. C. She taught the author advanced cutting skills. D. She argued with the author about modern technology’s limitations. 6. How did the author improve her paper-cutting? A. She learned from mass-produced patterns entirely. B. She copied grandma’s old works repeatedly. C. She combined computer design with hand-refining. D. She attended a professional paper-cutting training. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards grandma? A. Admiring and thankful. B. Indifferent and unconcerned. C. Critical and dissatisfied. D. Doubtful and dismissive. C When it comes to embracing artificial intelligence, men seem to be all in, but women are more cautious in their usage. Women are adopting AI tools at a 25% lower rate than men on average. When it comes to AI usage on phones, the gender divide is even more striking; between May 2023 and November 2024, a mere 27.2% of total ChatGPT application downloads were estimated to have come from women. The researchers found that in many cases, women worried that their skills and knowledge would be questioned if they used AI. “A female software engineer may be worried that if she uses AI, her manager might view her as less competent,” said Rembrand Koning, one of the coauthors of the study. It’s possible that high-performing women may place self-restrictions on AI use, said Catalina Franco, another co-author of the study. “For example, top-performing female students may be more cautious about using tools that have not been clearly approved by their professors or may worry that reliance on AI could signal a lack of competence,” she said. On the contrary, men are less worried about potential penalties (不利的后果) for using AI and more willing to try it out. Beyond being less cautious, men are also more likely to have an interest and enroll in science-related fields, which translates to having a general interest in emerging technology like AI. “The disparities (差异) in the adoption of generative AI is a design problem — it is developed by a mostly white male workforce and trained on the questions and preferences of men — not a gender problem,” said Catalina Franco. “Women may not be jumping on the AI bandwagon for the simple reason that the tech isn’t built with them in mind.” If AI’s workforce impact is inevitable, women must now strategically upskill and experiment. Otherwise, disparities in AI use could widen gender gaps in pay and job opportunities. What matters currently is not merely who are more willing to adopt AI, but how they use it, noted MIT researcher Dishita Turakhia. 8. Why do some women avoid using AI tools? A. It fails to improve their skills. B. It brings about unkind judgment. C. It is forbidden by their professors. D. It leads to job losses for them. 9. What contributes to men’s embracing AI? A. They are drawn by science-related fields B. They seek more opportunities in their careers. C. They desire to develop new technologies. D. They are unaware of the potential risks of AI. 10. What do the underlined words “jumping on the AI bandwagon” in Para. 6 mean? A. Criticizing AI technology seriously B. Showing little interest in AI products C. Joining the trend of using AI actively D. Working on AI research and development 11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Risks of AI Tools Faced by Women. B. AI Widens Gaps Between Men and Women. C. Women Are More Careful than Men with AI D. Overcome Skepticism to Adopt New Technology. D A little over 20 percent of India’s households own an air conditioner or cooler, and fewer than a third have refrigerators — leaving hundreds of millions of people to face rising temperatures without artificial cooling. But an innovation that’s at least 3,000 years old terracotta (赤陶) is emerging as a low-cost, low-energy alternative. Once used by the Bronze Age Harappan civilization to store water this earthenware still stands on the shelves of rural Indian homes as pots that cool water without electricity and cost as little as a dollar each. “Terracotta’s porous (多孔的) surface allows water to slowly evaporate (蒸发), carrying heat away and cooling the space around it,” says Adithya Pradyumna, an environmental health researcher at Azim Premji University in Bengaluru. Drawing on this principle, architects in India are turning to terracotta for new, passive cooling solutions that range from clay refrigerators to tiles and outer walls with holes that allow natural air to flow and help heat and moisture transfer between indoor and outdoor environments. Passive cooling uses building design to regulate indoor temperatures with natural materials, strategic airflow and well-controlled shading. This approach works particularly well in dry places — like parts of the Pacific Northwest, where it can reduce air-conditioning loads by up to 70 percent. A pioneer in this field is Delhi-based design company Ant Studio, whose CoolAnt project uses terracotta as a second skin on concrete buildings. “We’ve taken advantage of its water absorbing quality and observed average temperature drops of six to eight degrees Celsius across more than 30 sites” in India, says studio founder Monish Siripurapu. Meanwhile Gujarat-based company MittiCool has created clay “refrigerators” that purportedly keep food fresh for three to five days without power — invaluable in homes without reliable electricity. Niyati Gupta, a senior program associate at research institute WRI India, says terracotta “can work with existing cooling systems and reduce our dependence on the fossil fuel power. That alone could be a game changer for both the energy and construction sectors.” 12. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 1? A. To compare different cooling methods. B. To stress the seriousness of the problem. C. To show the popularity of air conditioners. D. To explain the cost of artificial cooling. 13. What is the advantage of terracotta? A. It works perfectly in all areas. B. It uses less electricity to make. C. It’s inexpensive and energy-saving. D. It shows the beauty of ancient wisdom. 14. What is the primary function of the holes in the terracotta tiles and walls? A. To trap heat and moisture. B. To store water for cooling. C. To allow air to pass through. D. To make water cool faster. 15. What is the main idea of Paragraph 6? A. Terracotta’s modern applications. B. Temperature drops due to terracotta. C. Achievements of two Indian companies. D. The advantages of terracotta over electricity. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 They say a dog is man’s best friend, but sometimes the two just don’t connect.

To prepare for Diwali, one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in my home country, I was busy enjoying the task of cleaning along with my younger sister in the shop of my family. Suddenly, the door bell rang. I opened the door only to find myself attracted by the beauty of a lady in a red cotton dress with a black border. She had extremely good features. Without a second thought I complimented her by saying, “You are a very beautiful lady.” I welcomed her and asked what her name was. She replied, “I am Bindu.” After a happy conversation between two girls, Bindu shared her contact details and address and left. The Diwali day had finally arrived. I told my mom that I was going to meet Bindu at her place that afternoon. My mother agreed but told me to go home early. I was given a warm welcome at Bindu’s place. The welcome smile especially made me feel at home. Bindu said it was for the first time that “normal people” other than government community people (they helped the poor) came to their society to visit a friend. Our endless talk continued. I noticed, throughout our conversation, Bindu hadn’t said a single negative word. She didn’t discuss her sorrow, struggle and problems. Through the visit, I felt a positive atmosphere. Then I realized words could make a powerful impact on a person’s life. After that moment I would avoid negative words while interacting with people. Days passed by and our companionship grew stronger. Whenever I felt stressed at work, I called Bindu. Her powerful words motivated me. Those days I was staying in Udaipur, searching for a new room. Finally, I selected two rooms, but because of my divorce (离婚) (In my home country, women, especially divorced women, are always looked down upon), landowners refused to provide the room. I was totally frustrated. 注意： （1） 续写词数应为150左右； （2） 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I decided to call my friend Bindu and share my experience with her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding back doubts, I bravely continued my search. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
