【原文】W: Yesterday, I went to a place called Sidelli with my family. It was really interesting. In the morning, we visited a theater. It was built 2,000 years ago beside the sea and people used to watch plays there in the open air. There used to be an old fishing village nearby. After that, we had a guided tour. Rather than go to the old palace, which is full of tourists, our guide took us up a hill and showed us around what’s left of a library. Most of it had fallen down, but it still had a fantastic atmosphere. We then took a bus into the countryside for lunch, and we ate next to a waterfall. Afterwards, we took a walk from there to a lake. In the afternoon, we chose to go on one of two different factory tours. One factory made pots and plates, which sounded dull to me, and one produced carpets. That was the one we went on. There were lots of traditional designs, all made by local people. It was amazing. That was the last thing we did that day.

Four Best Beach Spots in South Carolina
Morris Island
What was once a war fort (堡垒) is now an island without residents in the Charleston Harbor marked by the state’s tallest lighthouse. Today, this island is only accessible by boat. While boat rentals are available, it is highly recommended that visitors book one of the tours that will take you to the island with a local expert who can tell you all about the area’s history and marine life.
Huntington Beach State Park
Located between Myrtle Beach and Georgetown, Huntington Beach State Park offers historic sites, fishing, hiking, guided walks, and, of course, a three-mile beach. There are over 300 species of birds here, making the park a wonderland for birders. Visitors can also spot deer, sea turtles, and more. Plus, camping is available at the park for those who want to spend more time enjoying its natural beauty.
Surfside Beach
Also known as “The Family Beach”, Surfside Beach’s focus on families goes beyond its nickname—it identified itself as the first autism-friendly (自闭症友好) travel destination in the world in January 2016. Visitors can approach the sandy beach from 36 different entry points, some of which provide wheel chair access. There are also mini-golf courses and plenty of restaurants to choose from.
Fripp Island
Head for this small region for kayaking, golfing, and breathtaking natural views. Watch some of the 175 species of birds that live along the ocean and salt marsh(沼泽), or other local animals such as alligators, dolphins, and loggerhead turtles. Book a place with a marsh view at Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort to enjoy pools, on-site dining, and the busy activity center.

Many travelers have toyed with the idea of visiting each national park, but the Goldsteins from Charlotte, North Carolina, made it a reality before their two kids, Luke and Winston, turned 18. They spent six years completing their journey. Dad Bill explained that every school break, they would try to visit another park. Along the way, the family made some sacrifices (牺牲): from eating bread out of a cooler in the back of the car to staying in economical accommodations.
Bill credits his wife, Alisa, with managing the budget (预算) and keeping costs down. Her advice for others starting their own national park adventures is to begin with parks that are nearby and gradually explore farther. The Goldsteins often visited several parks on one trip, including 11 parks during the summer after their first visit to Yosemite.
The family didn’t need fancy equipment— just the basics like sun protection, first aid, and plenty of water. One of the most dangerous things they faced was dehydration (脱水). Luke remembered running out of water 10 miles from the end of a hike at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. They had to depend on patience, faith, and determination to make it back.
A key part of their experience was the Junior ranger program, which is available at nearly every national park. Kids are invited to complete a list of educational activities to earn a Junior ranger badge (护林员徽章), which helps them connect with and understand the park.
Initially (起初), Luke thought being without phone service and away from friends was the worst part. He often complained about tough hikes. But looking back, he realized how the journey shaped him, making him more responsible and appreciative of both his family and nature.
Today, the Goldsteins continue visiting national parks, which continue to teach them the value of determination, family connections, and appreciation of the natural world.
24. What advice does Alisa Goldstein offer about national park visits?
A. Plan one park at a time.
B. Prepare ready-to-eat food.
C. Seek expert financial advice.
D. Start from nearby to distant parks.
25. What is the aim of the Junior ranger program?
A. To help kids build character.
B. To teach kids about the park.
C. To train kids to be park rangers.
D. To help kids map hiking routes.
26. How did Luke’s attitude to the trips change over time?
A. From being excited to bored.
B. From being anxious to angry.
C. From being resistant to grateful.
D. From being stressed to confident.
27. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Park by Park: A Family’s Big Adventure
B. Just Made It: Surviving the Great Outdoors
C. Junior Rangers: Earning Badges and Memories
D. The Toughest Challenge: A Hiker’s Willpower
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Her advice for others starting their own national park adventures is to begin with parks that are nearby and gradually explore farther.(她给那些开始自己的国家公园冒险之旅的人的建议是,从附近的公园开始,然后逐渐探索更远的地方。)”可知,Alisa Goldstein建议从附近的公园开始,然后逐渐探索更远的公园。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Kids are invited to complete a list of educational activities to earn a Junior ranger badge (护林员徽章), which helps them connect with and understand the park.(孩子们被邀请完成一系列教育活动以获得初级护林员徽章,这有助于他们与公园建立联系并了解公园。)”可知,初级护林员项目的目的是教孩子们了解公园。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Initially (起初), Luke thought being without phone service and away from friends was the worst part. He often complained about tough hikes. But looking back, he realized how the journey shaped him, making him more responsible and appreciative of both his family and nature.(起初,卢克认为没有手机服务、远离朋友是最糟糕的部分。他经常抱怨徒步旅行很艰难。但回想起来,他意识到这段旅程如何塑造了他,让他对自己的家庭和大自然更加负责和感激。)”可知,卢克一开始对旅行是抵触的,后来变得感激。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Many travelers have toyed with the idea of visiting each national park, but the Goldsteins from Charlotte, North Carolina, made it a reality before their two kids, Luke and Winston, turned 18. They spent six years completing their journey.(许多旅行者都曾有过游览每个国家公园的想法,但来自北卡罗来纳州夏洛特的Goldstein一家在他们的两个孩子卢克和温斯顿18岁之前实现了这一梦想。他们花了六年时间完成了他们的旅程。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了Goldstein一家逐个游览国家公园的冒险之旅。A选项“Park by Park: A Family’s Big Adventure(一个公园接一个公园:一个家庭的大冒险)”能概括文章主旨,可作为标题。故选A。
C
Imagine a bustling city square captured by a drone (无人机) — thousands of people moving, interacting, and making decisions in real time. Now, picture artificial intelligence (AI) analyzing this scene, not just counting faces, but inferring social patterns, emotional states, and even predicting crowd behavior. This vivid image illustrates how AI is transforming the social sciences, offering unprecedented tools to understand human complexity.
Take sociology, for example. Researchers at Stanford University used machine learning to analyze millions of historical newspaper articles, revealing shifts in public sentiment during economic crises. Similarly, linguistic experts have employed natural language processing to screen thousands of lawmaking speeches, identifying hidden ideological (意识形态的) trends that traditional methods might miss. In anthropology (人类学), AI-driven facial recognition has helped decode non-verbal communication trans-culturally, enriching cross-cultural studies.
AI may also play a role beyond Earth. In China’s ambitious space-based solar power project — a plan to collect solar energy in orbit and beam it to Earth — AI optimizes the positioning of solar panels, predicts energy transmission efficiency, and screens out signal interference from cosmic noise. This shows how AI can support not only social understanding but also the technological infrastructure that shapes future societies.
While comparative research highlights AI’s unique edge, critics warn of ethical pitfalls. “AI doesn’t eliminate bias — it often makes it worse,” cautions Dr. Elena Martinez, a sociologist at the London School of Economics. Algorithms (算法) trained on biased data may reinforce stereotypes or misrepresent groups that are often left out. Moreover, AI can ignore crucial subtle differences — like sarcasm (讽刺) or cultural expressions — leading to inaccurate interpretations. On the other hand, when properly designed, AI can also screen harmful misinformation from research inputs, improving data integrity.
Public opinion remains divided. While institutions like UNESCO advocate for “human-centered AI” in social research, many citizens fear being watched too closely. A 2025 Eurobarometer survey showed that 58% of Europeans support AI in academic research but oppose its use in monitoring public behavior without permission.
Looking ahead, the combined effect of AI and social sciences promises deeper insights into global challenges — from climate migration to mental health epidemics. As MIT’s Media Lab suggests, the future lies not in replacing human judgment, but in supporting it. With transparent algorithms, fair data practices, and strong collaboration, AI could become the most powerful lens yet for understanding society — not by replacing the human element, but by revealing its hidden dimensions.
28. What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs about the role of AI in social science research?
A. AI helps find hidden patterns traditional methods may miss.
B. AI takes the place of old ways altogether in anthropology studies.
C. Linguistic experts use AI only for modern lawmaking speeches.
D. AI has supported technological infrastructure in China’s space project.
29. The word “screen” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______.
A. Observe. B. Block. C. Ignore. D. Display.
30. According to the passage, what is one reason AI might produce biased results in social studies?
A. It uses too little data. B. It cannot work outside labs.
C. Governments control it secretly. D. It often misses subtle meanings like sarcasm.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI in social sciences?
A. Skeptical and critical. B. Indifferent and neutral.
C. Optimistic but cautious. D. Overly enthusiastic.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人工智能在社会科学研究中的应用、优势与潜在伦理隐患,探讨其未来发展方向与人类的协作模式。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Researchers at Stanford University used machine learning to analyze millions of historical newspaper articles, revealing shifts in public sentiment during economic crises. Similarly, linguistic experts have employed natural language processing to screen thousands of lawmaking speeches, identifying hidden ideological (意识形态的) trends that traditional methods might miss. In anthropology (人类学), AI-driven facial recognition has helped decode non-verbal communication trans-culturally, enriching cross-cultural studies. (斯坦福大学的研究人员利用机器学习分析了数百万篇历史报纸文章,揭示了经济危机期间公众情绪的变化。同样,语言专家利用自然语言处理技术筛选了数千篇立法演讲,发现了传统方法可能忽略的潜在意识形态趋势。在人类学领域,人工智能驱动的面部识别技术帮助解码了跨文化的非语言交流,丰富了跨文化研究。)”可知,人工智能能够帮助发现传统方法可能遗漏的隐藏规律。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“On the other hand, when properly designed, AI can also screen harmful misinformation from research inputs, improving data integrity. (另一方面,如果设计合理,人工智能也可以从研究输入中screen有害的错误信息,提高数据的完整性。)”可知,要提高数据的完整性,应该是“屏蔽”有害的错误信息,由此可推测,此处“screen”的意思是“屏蔽、阻挡”,与“block”含义相近。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Moreover, AI can ignore crucial subtle differences — like sarcasm (讽刺) or cultural expressions — leading to inaccurate interpretations. (此外,人工智能会忽略关键的细微差异——比如讽刺或文化表达——从而导致不准确的解读。)”可知,人工智能在社会研究中产生偏见性结果的原因之一是它会遗漏讽刺等细微含义。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Looking ahead, the combined effect of AI and social sciences promises deeper insights into global challenges — from climate migration to mental health epidemics. As MIT’s Media Lab suggests, the future lies not in replacing human judgment, but in supporting it. With transparent algorithms, fair data practices, and strong collaboration, AI could become the most powerful lens yet for understanding society — not by replacing the human element, but by revealing its hidden dimensions. (展望未来,人工智能与社会科学的结合有望更深入地洞察全球挑战——从气候移民到心理健康流行病。正如麻省理工学院媒体实验室所指出的,未来不在于取代人类的判断,而在于支持人类的判断。凭借透明的算法、公平的数据实践和紧密的合作,人工智能有望成为理解社会的最强大工具——不是通过取代人的因素,而是通过揭示其隐藏的层面。)”可知,作者既认可人工智能的潜力,又强调需要规范其使用,态度是乐观且谨慎的。故选C项。
D
It is a common practice to check review sites before settling on a new restaurant for a meal. But in recent years, many customers have grown disappointed by the quality of highly-rated restaurants. As a result, more and more people are now turning to modest eateries (饭馆) — those with 3 to 4-star ratings — hoping to discover unexpectedly delightful dishes that fly under the radar.
Amy Wang from Shandong Province is no stranger to finding these “hidden gems”. As a part-time food blogger who shares her culinary journeys on social media, she has visited over 200 restaurants in just six months, often skipping the top-rated listings to explore local mom-and-pop shops. According to Wang, this trend of favoring lower-rated restaurants stems from a growing distrust in the rating system, especially among young diners. Ultra-high scores are rarely reliable, she explains, as they can be artificially inflated; some restaurants offer free appetizers or 10% discounts for positive reviews, while others even train staff to leave fake comments in customers’ names or pay third-party services to boost their ratings.
“The years a restaurant has been operating also matter a lot,” Wang noted. “Most new dining places struggle to survive beyond six months, so an older establishment — say, one that’s been around for 3 to 5 years — must be doing something right, like consistent taste or friendly service, to thrive in such a competitive industry.”
Her most memorable find? A tiny 3.5-star restaurant in a small town in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. “It had only two reviews online, and the appearance looked plain,” she recalled. “But when I tried their signature remipi (rice slices), it was the best I’ve ever had. That experience really showed me: there are so many undiscovered culinary (食物的) delights out there, just waiting to be found, even if the rating system hasn’t acknowledged them yet.”
32. Why are more customers turning to modest eateries recently?
A. They want to save money on meals.
B. They are disappointed with highly-rated restaurants.
C. Modest eateries often offer more dish choices.
D. Review sites highly recommend modest eateries.
33. According to Amy Wang, why are ultra-high restaurant scores untrustworthy?
A. Young diners don’t like to give high scores.
B. The rating system has technical problems.
C. Reviewers don’t visit the restaurants in person.
D. Restaurants use unfair ways to raise their scores.
34. What does the underlined word “establishment” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Foundation. B. Area. C. Business. D. Management.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. 3.5-star restaurants are the best choices.
B. Older restaurants’ scores on review sites are low.
C. Restaurants in small towns are better than those in big cities.
D. Some great eateries haven’t been recognized by the rating system.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了因高分餐厅品质堪忧,人们转而青睐3-4 星普通饭馆;博主认为这源于评分造假,老店更靠谱,且存在诸多未被评分认可的美食。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But in recent years, many customers have grown disappointed by the quality of highly-rated restaurants. As a result, more and more people are now turning to modest eateries (饭馆) — those with 3 to 4-star ratings — hoping to discover unexpectedly delightful dishes that fly under the radar.( 但近年来,许多顾客对高评级餐厅的质量感到失望。因此,越来越多的人现在转向一般的餐馆——那些有3到4星评级的餐馆——希望发现意想不到的美味菜肴。)”可知,最近越来越多的顾客转向普通餐厅是因为他们对高评价的餐馆感到失望。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ultra-high scores are rarely reliable, she explains, as they can be artificially inflated; some restaurants offer free appetizers or 10% discounts for positive reviews, while others even train staff to leave fake comments in customers’ names or pay third-party services to boost their ratings.(她解释说,超高的分数很少是可靠的,因为它们可能被人为夸大;一些餐馆为好评提供免费开胃菜或10%的折扣,而另一些餐馆甚至培训员工以顾客的名义留下虚假评论或付费给第三方服务来提高他们的评分。)”可知,超高的餐厅评分不值得信任是因为餐馆用不正当的方法来提高他们的评分。故选D项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“Most new dining places struggle to survive beyond six months, so an older … — say, one that’s been around for 3 to 5 years — must be doing something right, like consistent taste or friendly service, to thrive in such a competitive industry.( 大多数新开的餐厅都很难撑过六个月,所以一家老牌……——比如一家开了3到5年的餐厅——必须做对一些事情,比如始终如一的口味或友好的服务,才能在竞争如此激烈的行业中茁壮成长。)”可知,划线单词establishment指代前文的 dining places(餐饮场所),破折号后举例 “一家经营了3-5 年的老店”,结合语境可推断该词意为“商铺、生意”,与 C选项business“生意”含义一致。故选C项。

That experience really showed me: there are so many undiscovered culinary (食物的) delights out there, just waiting to be found, even if the rating system hasn’t acknowledged them yet.”(陕西汉中小镇上一家小小的3.5星级餐厅。“它在网上只有两条评论,外观看起来很普通,”她回忆说。“但当我品尝他们的招牌米皮时,这是我吃过的最好吃的。那次经历真的让我明白:有那么多未被发现的美食,只是在等着被发现,即使评级系统还没有承认它们。”)”可推知,一些优质饭馆尚未被评分系统肯定。故选D项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与父母一起做熏肉的过程。
【36题详解】
文章第一句“Earlier last month, my parents and I had a free day—a rare event for us.(上个月早些时候,我的父母和我有一个自由活动日,这对我们来说是一件罕见的事情)”介绍了故事的主人公:作者和作者的父母,结合标题“Cook in the kitchen(在厨房做饭)”可知,作者和父母在自由日那天一起在厨房做饭。故选C。
【37题详解】
前文说“The process would take a long time.(这个过程需要很长时间)”,所以需要提前准备,因而E项“So, Mom started working on it early the night before.(所以,妈妈前一天晚上很早就开始做了)”符合故事逻辑。故选E。
【38题详解】
F项“Two days later, the pork was ready for the next steps.(两天后,猪肉准备好了可以进行下一步了)”承接上一段的“refrigerated it for two days(冷藏两天)”。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据后文“After more than ten minutes of smoking and a few minutes of frying, the smoked pork was complete.(经过十多分钟的熏制和几分钟的煎炸,熏肉就完成了)”可知,设空处是制作这道菜的最后一步,即D项“Finally, I put the pork on the smoking shelf.(最后,我把猪肉放在烟熏架上)”符合此处语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据后文“When combined with an apple vinegar sauce, the meat was even more delicious. (加上苹果醋酱,肉就更美味了)”可知,作者在讲述熏肉的美味,G项“The pork was very delicious and contained the special smell of black tea.(猪肉非常美味,并含有红茶的特殊气味)”也在讲熏肉的味道,且句中的“delicious”与后文呼应。故选G。

【64题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:Hughes女士将获得约38,500美元的奖金。空格处应填谓语动词,根据语境可知,此处表示将来发生的动作,时态应用一般将来时,且主语Ms. Hughes与award之间为被动关系。故填be awarded。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my 10-year-old son, Ryan, announced he would be the host at his grade school concert, I did my best to sound thrilled. “I can’t wait to see it,” I said. The theme was Songs From Every Continent, with the kids dressed up in animal costumes to go with their presentations. Ryan told me it was a real event, with 200 people expected to show.
“I’m going to have my own microphone and everything!” Ryan was a popular and outgoing kid, a bit fond of the spotlight. The part seemed perfect for him. I smiled. Thankfully, Ryan couldn’t read my mind. I loved my son and applauded his accomplishments, but their school concerts were long, the chairs were uncomfortable, and I knew Ryan didn’t need me there for mental support. I’d seen my son’s talents onstage. Still, it was my motherly duty to attend.
“Hope I can get through this,” I thought as we filed into the school cafeteria. The children, first through fifth grades, packed the front seats, waiting for their turn to fill the stage when Ryan introduced them.
The lights dimmed (变暗). Ryan took the stage, wearing what looked like an Australian Outback hat and khaki shorts and shirt. He held a toy. He picked up his microphone and with a perfect accent said, “Evening, mates.” He was in his element. Between performances Ryan swung the toy or put his hat on it for comedic effect. He kept up a steady chat with the toy, commenting on the songs and performances without a hint (迹象) of nerves. He was funny, just as I knew he would be. No surprise there.
“Let’s welcome another group,” he said loudly.
A class of younger students walked up to the stage. It was clear that for many of the youngsters, a school concert was a new experience, and this was the kind of thing that made these concerts longer than they needed to be. One student, wearing monkey ears, shyly made his way to the standing microphone. I saw his lips move, but whatever he said had come out as barely a whisper. The boy looked confused. He tried again, but it was no use.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Obviously, the microphone had something wrong with it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then a familiar voice rang out, “It’s okay, Michael!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Obviously, the microphone had something wrong with it. The boy, Michael, stood frozen in front of the microphone, his monkey ears trembling slightly. He lowered his head, and I could see his shoulders shaking a little, probably about to cry. The whole audience fell silent, and the atmosphere became tense. The teacher in the back tried to rush to the stage, but it was crowded with children, and she couldn’t get through quickly. Everyone felt sorry for Michael, but no one knew what to do at that moment.
Then a familiar voice rang out, “It’s okay, Michael!” It was Ryan. He walked quickly to Michael with a warm smile. “Don’t worry, friend. You can use my microphone,” he said and held out his mic to Michael. Michael looked up in surprise, his eyes full of gratitude. Ryan nodded encouragingly, and Michael took a deep breath and began to sing. His voice was clear and beautiful. When he finished, the audience burst into spontaneous and thunderous applause. I looked at Ryan proudly. He wasn’t just shining on the stage; he was also spreading kindness and courage. At that moment, I was really glad I came.

Four Best Beach Spots in South Carolina
Morris Island
What was once a war fort (堡垒) is now an island without residents in the Charleston Harbor marked by the state’s tallest lighthouse. Today, this island is only accessible by boat. While boat rentals are available, it is highly recommended that visitors book one of the tours that will take you to the island with a local expert who can tell you all about the area’s history and marine life.
Huntington Beach State Park
Located between Myrtle Beach and Georgetown, Huntington Beach State Park offers historic sites, fishing, hiking, guided walks, and, of course, a three-mile beach. There are over 300 species of birds here, making the park a wonderland for birders. Visitors can also spot deer, sea turtles, and more. Plus, camping is available at the park for those who want to spend more time enjoying its natural beauty.
Surfside Beach
Also known as “The Family Beach”, Surfside Beach’s focus on families goes beyond its nickname—it identified itself as the first autism-friendly (自闭症友好) travel destination in the world in January 2016. Visitors can approach the sandy beach from 36 different entry points, some of which provide wheel chair access. There are also mini-golf courses and plenty of restaurants to choose from.
Fripp Island
Head for this small region for kayaking, golfing, and breathtaking natural views. Watch some of the 175 species of birds that live along the ocean and salt marsh(沼泽), or other local animals such as alligators, dolphins, and loggerhead turtles. Book a place with a marsh view at Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort to enjoy pools, on-site dining, and the busy activity center.

Many travelers have toyed with the idea of visiting each national park, but the Goldsteins from Charlotte, North Carolina, made it a reality before their two kids, Luke and Winston, turned 18. They spent six years completing their journey. Dad Bill explained that every school break, they would try to visit another park. Along the way, the family made some sacrifices (牺牲): from eating bread out of a cooler in the back of the car to staying in economical accommodations.
Bill credits his wife, Alisa, with managing the budget (预算) and keeping costs down. Her advice for others starting their own national park adventures is to begin with parks that are nearby and gradually explore farther. The Goldsteins often visited several parks on one trip, including 11 parks during the summer after their first visit to Yosemite.
The family didn’t need fancy equipment— just the basics like sun protection, first aid, and plenty of water. One of the most dangerous things they faced was dehydration (脱水). Luke remembered running out of water 10 miles from the end of a hike at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. They had to depend on patience, faith, and determination to make it back.
A key part of their experience was the Junior ranger program, which is available at nearly every national park. Kids are invited to complete a list of educational activities to earn a Junior ranger badge (护林员徽章), which helps them connect with and understand the park.
Initially (起初) Luke thought being without phone service and away from friends was the worst part. He often complained about tough hikes. But looking back, he realized how the journey shaped him, making him more responsible and appreciative of both his family and nature.
Today, the Goldsteins continue visiting national parks, which continue to teach them the value of determination, family connections, and appreciation of the natural world.
24. What advice does Alisa Goldstein offer about national park visits?
A. Plan one park at a time.
B. Prepare ready-to-eat food.
C. Seek expert financial advice.
D. Start from nearby to distant parks.
25. What is the aim of the Junior ranger program?
A. To help kids build character.
B. To teach kids about the park.
C. To train kids to be park rangers.
D. To help kids map hiking routes.
26. How did Luke’s attitude to the trips change over time?
A. From being excited to bored.
B. From being anxious to angry.
C From being resistant to grateful.
D. From being stressed to confident.
27. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A Park by Park: A Family’s Big Adventure
B. Just Made It: Surviving the Great Outdoors
C. Junior Rangers: Earning Badges and Memories
D. The Toughest Challenge: A Hiker’s Willpower
C
Imagine a bustling city square captured by a drone (无人机) — thousands of people moving, interacting, and making decisions in real time. Now, picture artificial intelligence (AI) analyzing this scene, not just counting faces, but inferring social patterns, emotional states, and even predicting crowd behavior. This vivid image illustrates how AI is transforming the social sciences, offering unprecedented tools to understand human complexity.
Take sociology, for example. Researchers at Stanford University used machine learning to analyze millions of historical newspaper articles, revealing shifts in public sentiment during economic crises. Similarly, linguistic experts have employed natural language processing to screen thousands of lawmaking speeches, identifying hidden ideological (意识形态的) trends that traditional methods might miss. In anthropology (人类学), AI-driven facial recognition has helped decode non-verbal communication trans-culturally, enriching cross-cultural studies.
AI may also play a role beyond Earth. In China’s ambitious space-based solar power project — a plan to collect solar energy in orbit and beam it to Earth — AI optimizes the positioning of solar panels, predicts energy transmission efficiency, and screens out signal interference from cosmic noise. This shows how AI can support not only social understanding but also the technological infrastructure that shapes future societies.
While comparative research highlights AI’s unique edge, critics warn of ethical pitfalls. “AI doesn’t eliminate bias — it often makes it worse,” cautions Dr. Elena Martinez, a sociologist at the London School of Economics. Algorithms (算法) trained on biased data may reinforce stereotypes or misrepresent groups that are often left out. Moreover, AI can ignore crucial subtle differences — like sarcasm (讽刺) or cultural expressions — leading to inaccurate interpretations. On the other hand, when properly designed, AI can also screen harmful misinformation from research inputs, improving data integrity.
Public opinion remains divided. While institutions like UNESCO advocate for “human-centered AI” in social research, many citizens fear being watched too closely. A 2025 Eurobarometer survey showed that 58% of Europeans support AI in academic research but oppose its use in monitoring public behavior without permission.
Looking ahead, the combined effect of AI and social sciences promises deeper insights into global challenges — from climate migration to mental health epidemics. As MIT’s Media Lab suggests, the future lies not in replacing human judgment, but in supporting it. With transparent algorithms, fair data practices, and strong collaboration, AI could become the most powerful lens yet for understanding society — not by replacing the human element, but by revealing its hidden dimensions.
28. What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs about the role of AI in social science research?
A. AI helps find hidden patterns traditional methods may miss.
B. AI takes the place of old ways altogether in anthropology studies.
C. Linguistic experts use AI only for modern lawmaking speeches.
D. AI has supported technological infrastructure in China’s space project.
29. The word “screen” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______.
A. Observe. B. Block. C. Ignore. D. Display.
30. According to the passage, what is one reason AI might produce biased results in social studies?
A. It uses too little data. B. It cannot work outside labs.
C. Governments control it secretly. D. It often misses subtle meanings like sarcasm.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of AI in social sciences?
A. Skeptical and critical. B. Indifferent and neutral.
C. Optimistic but cautious. D. Overly enthusiastic.
D
It is a common practice to check review sites before settling on a new restaurant for a meal. But in recent years, many customers have grown disappointed by the quality of highly-rated restaurants. As a result, more and more people are now turning to modest eateries (饭馆) — those with 3 to 4-star ratings — hoping to discover unexpectedly delightful dishes that fly under the radar.
Amy Wang from Shandong Province is no stranger to finding these “hidden gems”. As a part-time food blogger who shares her culinary journeys on social media, she has visited over 200 restaurants in just six months, often skipping the top-rated listings to explore local mom-and-pop shops. According to Wang, this trend of favoring lower-rated restaurants stems from a growing distrust in the rating system, especially among young diners. Ultra-high scores are rarely reliable, she explains, as they can be artificially inflated; some restaurants offer free appetizers or 10% discounts for positive reviews, while others even train staff to leave fake comments in customers’ names or pay third-party services to boost their ratings.
“The years a restaurant has been operating also matter a lot,” Wang noted. “Most new dining places struggle to survive beyond six months, so an older establishment — say, one that’s been around for 3 to 5 years — must be doing something right, like consistent taste or friendly service, to thrive in such a competitive industry.”
Her most memorable find? A tiny 3.5-star restaurant in a small town in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. “It had only two reviews online, and the appearance looked plain,” she recalled. “But when I tried their signature remipi (rice slices), it was the best I’ve ever had. That experience really showed me: there are so many undiscovered culinary (食物的) delights out there, just waiting to be found, even if the rating system hasn’t acknowledged them yet.”
32 Why are more customers turning to modest eateries recently?
A. They want to save money on meals.
B. They are disappointed with highly-rated restaurants.
C. Modest eateries often offer more dish choices.
D. Review sites highly recommend modest eateries.
33. According to Amy Wang, why are ultra-high restaurant scores untrustworthy?
A. Young diners don’t like to give high scores.
B. The rating system has technical problems.
C. Reviewers don’t visit the restaurants in person.
D. Restaurants use unfair ways to raise their scores.
34. What does the underlined word “establishment” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Foundation. B. Area. C. Business. D. Management.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. 3.5-star restaurants are the best choices.
B. Older restaurants’ scores on review sites are low.
C. Restaurants in small towns are better than those in big cities.
D. Some great eateries haven’t been recognized by the rating system.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When my 10-year-old son, Ryan, announced he would be the host at his grade school concert, I did my best to sound thrilled. “I can’t wait to see it,” I said. The theme was Songs From Every Continent, with the kids dressed up in animal costumes to go with their presentations. Ryan told me it was a real event, with 200 people expected to show.
“I’m going to have my own microphone and everything!” Ryan was a popular and outgoing kid, a bit fond of the spotlight. The part seemed perfect for him. I smiled. Thankfully, Ryan couldn’t read my mind. I loved my son and applauded his accomplishments, but their school concerts were long, the chairs were uncomfortable, and I knew Ryan didn’t need me there for mental support. I’d seen my son’s talents onstage. Still, it was my motherly duty to attend.
“Hope I can get through this,” I thought as we filed into the school cafeteria. The children, first through fifth grades, packed the front seats, waiting for their turn to fill the stage when Ryan introduced them.
The lights dimmed (变暗). Ryan took the stage, wearing what looked like an Australian Outback hat and khaki shorts and shirt. He held a toy. He picked up his microphone and with a perfect accent said, “Evening, mates.” He was in his element. Between performances Ryan swung the toy or put his hat on it for comedic effect. He kept up a steady chat with the toy, commenting on the songs and performances without a hint (迹象) of nerves. He was funny, just as I knew he would be. No surprise there.
“Let’s welcome another group,” he said loudly.
A class of younger students walked up to the stage. It was clear that for many of the youngsters, a school concert was a new experience, and this was the kind of thing that made these concerts longer than they needed to be. One student, wearing monkey ears, shyly made his way to the standing microphone. I saw his lips move, but whatever he said had come out as barely a whisper. The boy looked confused. He tried again, but it was no use.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Obviously, the microphone had something wrong with it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then a familiar voice rang out, “It’s okay, Michael!”

Rather than go to the old palace, which is full of tourists, our guide took us upper hill and shown us around what's left of a library. Most of IT had fAllen down, but IT still had a fantastic atmosphere. We then took a bus into the countryside for lunch, and we ate next to a waterfall. Afterwards, we took a walk from there to a lake. In the afternoon, we chose to go on one of two different factory tours. One factory made pots and plates, which sounded dull to me. And one produced carpets, that was the one we went on. There were lots of traditional designs, all made by local people. IT was amazing. That was the last thing we did that day.
