(A) I hurried into Lehman’s grocery store to buy hearing aid batteries for my grandma. But more importantly, it was my chance to visit Artie, the love of my life. I ran to the shelf where he always was, and there he was: a little grey dolphin with a big mouth that fit perfectly over my shoulder when I hugged him tightly. I loved that stuffed dolphin. As I held Artie, Mrs. Lehman passed by and smiled, saying, “Hugging that dolphin again, huh?” But Rick, my brother, noticed I took too long in the store. He said, “Alice, you’re thirteen now. You should be quicker. Next time, I’ll go with you.” Oh, great! Rick always laughed at me. I wasn’t going to give up. So, I suggested Rick get the batteries since he was older, then I headed straight for Artie. There he was, waiting for me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Just then, Rick asked, “What in the world are you doing?” “This is Artie,” I said. “I hug him every time I come here. I can’t afford him, so I hope he doesn’t get sold. I just love this little guy.” Rick’s expression was unreadable, but I knew deep down he wouldn’t make fun of me. In fact, when he came with me to Lehman’s before, he’d say, “Go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.” One day, Rick wasn’t at home, so I went to Lehman’s alone. I went straight to Artie’s shelf. But he was gone. I searched every shelf but couldn’t find him. Just then, Mrs. Lehman’s gentle voice interrupted my search. “I guess you’re looking for the dolphin. I’m sorry, it was sold earlier today.” My heart dropped. I froze, unable to believe her words. I had hoped so much he would still be there. Slowly, I walked home, trying to hold back tears. When I got inside, I couldn’t contain my sadness any longer and rushed to my room, tears rolling down my cheeks. To my surprise, I found a box on my bed. I opened it, and inside was Artie! I hugged him in disbelief. At that moment, I heard Rick’s voice: “I couldn’t let him slip away,” he said, smiling. “So, I bought Artie for you.” I felt a wave of warmth as I realized what my dear brother had done. In his quiet way, he gave me the greatest gift. 48. Why did Alice often go to Lehman’s grocery store? A. To buy gifts for her brother. B. To visit her favorite toy dolphin. C. To help Mrs. Lehman with shopping. D. To spend her pocket money on batteries. 49. The word “contain”(para.7)is closest in meaning to “_______”. A. describe B. share C. arouse D. control 50.

This practice, first introduced in Germany during World WarⅠin 1916 to conserve electricity, is now followed by over 70 countries in an effort to extend daylight hours. However, some states in the U.S. are launching movements to end DST, dismissing it as one of the most unpleasant days of the spring season. Losing an hour of sleep overnight — what could be worse? Liz Brown, founder of Sleeping Lucid, claims that the sleepy morning afterward is often connected to risky situations. Companies bear considerable financial burdens from DST, since business hours and operations need to adjust every spring. In fact, experts estimate the time change costs the U.S. around $430 million every year. The increase in heart attacks and workplace injuries, plus lowered productivity, are all accounted for in the total cost. Brown states that the spring DST changes are associated with a 24% increase in heart attack cases on the Monday following the change. The two days following the DST change also see an increase in hospitalizations for brain attacks, with the overall rate of those caused by reduced blood supply being 8% higher during these days than at any other time of the year. The changing of the clocks is also related to an increase in auto accidents, particularly on the Monday following the spring shift. Experts theorize that these auto accidents occur because drivers are tired from losing the hour of sleep after the spring change. So far, only two states — Hawaii and Arizona — have opted out of DST, a decision made back in the 1960s. For those who still observe it, biochemist Anna Persaud has something to say. “Eating your three meals 15 to 30 minutes progressively earlier can help get the body used to its new routine,” says Persaud. “Leaving a 4-hour to 5-hour gap between your last meal of the day and bedtime increases sleep duration and decreases awakening after sleep. Gradually changing your sleep schedule for several days leading up to DST promotes a smoother transition.” She also recommends calming activities, such as reading or taking a warm bath, for those who struggle with sleep to ease the transition. 56. According to the passage, DST was initially adopted to _______. A. reduce energy consumption B. improve sleep quality C. lengthen daylight hours D. ensure victory in the war 57. According to the passage, which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of the DST change? A. More environmental burdens. B. More mental sufferings. C. Change of transportation route. D. Risks of physical health issues. 58. What can be inferred from Persaud’s advice on how to cope with DST? A. People can keep their original lifestyle without making any changes. B. People should adjust to DST gradually rather than make sudden changes. C. People should be encouraged to observe DST despite its negative impact. D. People need useful tips based on individual differences in body response. 59. What’s the writing purpose of the passage? A. To highlight the negative effects of DST and tips for adapting to it. B. To appeal to the public to vote for skipping the DST change. C. To explain the historical context and evolving trend of DST. D. To compare two experts’ different perspectives on DST. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom, speaking in a warm and cheerful tone. Perhaps due to the man’s age, the robot starts to ask about his memories of the Second World War. The man then talks about his father’s service in the army and how they were separated for many years. ____60____ The behavior is the product of the Caresses project, which seeks to develop robots capable of considering the cultural background of the people they interact with. Since the man is British, the robot thinks he will find such a topic engaging, without taking his individual emotions into account. Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive. ____61____ For example, much of the Internet is in English, so large language models are primarily trained on English text, which can carry cultural bias. Similarly, although making robots more culturally sensitive is meant to be helpful, people are worried about where it could lead, considering the diverse cultural preferences across different social groups. People from different cultures react differently to robots. For instance, cultures vary in their expectations of personal space, which affects how far they prefer robots to stand from them. ____62____ People can understand a robot more easily when it uses expressions they are familiar with. Culture is a complex concept, open to various explanations. ____63____ To avoid designing robots based on fixed ideas, we will need to be more thoughtful. A. Does this topic really hold a person’s interest? B. However, concerns about this have been raised. C. This practice is widely recognized across cultures. D. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical. E. Why does a robot mention a potentially painful topic? F. Facial expressions are also interpreted differently across cultures. Ⅳ.

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) I hurried into Lehman’s grocery store to buy hearing aid batteries for my grandma. But more importantly, it was my chance to visit Artie, the love of my life. I ran to the shelf where he always was, and there he was: a little grey dolphin with a big mouth that fit perfectly over my shoulder when I hugged him tightly. I loved that stuffed dolphin. As I held Artie, Mrs. Lehman passed by and smiled, saying, “Hugging that dolphin again, huh?” But Rick, my brother, noticed I took too long in the store. He said, “Alice, you’re thirteen now. You should be quicker. Next time, I’ll go with you.” Oh, great! Rick always laughed at me. I wasn’t going to give up. So, I suggested Rick get the batteries since he was older, then I headed straight for Artie. There he was, waiting for me. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Just then, Rick asked, “What in the world are you doing?” “This is Artie,” I said. “I hug him every time I come here. I can’t afford him, so I hope he doesn’t get sold. I just love this little guy.” Rick’s expression was unreadable, but I knew deep down he wouldn’t make fun of me. In fact, when he came with me to Lehman’s before, he’d say, “Go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.” One day, Rick wasn’t at home, so I went to Lehman’s alone. I went straight to Artie’s shelf. But he was gone. I searched every shelf but couldn’t find him. Just then, Mrs. Lehman’s gentle voice interrupted my search. “I guess you’re looking for the dolphin. I’m sorry, it was sold earlier today.” My heart dropped. I froze, unable to believe her words. I had hoped so much he would still be there. Slowly, I walked home, trying to hold back tears. When I got inside, I couldn’t contain my sadness any longer and rushed to my room, tears rolling down my cheeks. To my surprise, I found a box on my bed. I opened it, and inside was Artie! I hugged him in disbelief. At that moment, I heard Rick’s voice: “I couldn’t let him slip away,” he said, smiling. “So, I bought Artie for you.” I felt a wave of warmth as I realized what my dear brother had done. In his quiet way, he gave me the greatest gift. 48. Why did Alice often go to Lehman’s grocery store? A. To buy gifts for her brother. B. To visit her favorite toy dolphin. C. To help Mrs. Lehman with shopping. D. To spend her pocket money on batteries. 49. The word “contain”(para.7)is closest in meaning to “_______”. A. describe B. share C. arouse D. control 50. What can be inferred about Rick? A. He cared about his sister in his own way B. He didn’t understand his sister’s feelings. C. He always looked down on his sister. D. He always hid his own true emotion. 51. What message does the story mainly convey? A. We should save money for what really matters. B. Childhood toys are valuable reminders of happiness. C. Love can be expressed in small and quiet ways. D. Helping others is the key to personal growth. 【答案】48. B 49. D 50. A 51.

I loved that stuffed dolphin.(我一溜烟跑到Artie总待着的货架旁，它果然在那儿：一只小小的灰色海豚毛绒玩偶，嘴巴大大的，我紧紧抱住它时，它刚好能贴在我的肩膀上。我特别喜欢这只玩偶。)”可知，Alice去杂货店的主要原因是看望自己最喜欢的海豚玩偶。故选B。 【49题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“My heart dropped. I froze, unable to believe her words. I had hoped so much he would still be there. Slowly, I walked home, trying to hold back tears. When I got inside, I couldn’t contain my sadness any longer and rushed to my room, tears rolling down my cheeks.(我的心一下子沉了下去，整个人僵在原地，不敢相信她的话。我曾满心期待，它还会在那里等着我。我缓缓走回家，拼命忍着眼泪。一踏进家门，我再也……心底的难过，冲进房间，眼泪止不住地往下流。)”可知，作者发现玩偶被卖掉后，回家便再也无法抑制悲伤，哭着跑进房间，此处“contain”结合语境表示“抑制、控制”，与选项D“control”词义最接近。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Oh, great! Rick always laughed at me.(唉，真糟！Rick总爱取笑我。)”、第五段“In fact, when he came with me to Lehman’s before, he’d say, “Go on and hug your dolphin, if it’s still there.”(其实以前他跟我一起来莱曼杂货店时，还会说：“去吧，去抱你的海豚，要是它还在的话。”)”以及最后一段“At that moment, I heard Rick’s voice: “I couldn’t let him slip away,” he said, smiling. “So, I bought Artie for you.” I felt a wave of warmth as I realized what my dear brother had done. In his quiet way, he gave me the greatest gift.(就在这时，我听到了Rick的声音，他笑着说：“我可不能让它就这么溜走。所以，我把Artie买下来送给你了。”意识到亲爱的哥哥所做的一切，一股暖流涌上心头。他以这种默默的方式，送给了我最珍贵的礼物。)”可知，Rick看似打趣作者，却曾默许她去抱海豚，还默默买下玩偶，作为礼物送给满心失落的作者，用沉默的方式表达了对妹妹的在意。故选A。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要围绕哥哥Rick的行为展开，他虽看似爱打趣妹妹、言语不多，却默默记挂着妹妹对海豚玩偶的喜爱，最终悄悄买下玩偶送给失落的妹妹，以此传递了爱可以通过细微、沉默的方式来表达这一核心主旨。故选C。 (B) Smithsonian Libraries Programs The Smithsonian Libraries offers a variety of programs to bring learning to life.

This practice, first introduced in Germany during World WarⅠin 1916 to conserve electricity, is now followed by over 70 countries in an effort to extend daylight hours. However, some states in the U.S. are launching movements to end DST, dismissing it as one of the most unpleasant days of the spring season. Losing an hour of sleep overnight — what could be worse? Liz Brown, founder of Sleeping Lucid, claims that the sleepy morning afterward is often connected to risky situations. Companies bear considerable financial burdens from DST, since business hours and operations need to adjust every spring. In fact, experts estimate the time change costs the U.S. around $430 million every year. The increase in heart attacks and workplace injuries, plus lowered productivity, are all accounted for in the total cost. Brown states that the spring DST changes are associated with a 24% increase in heart attack cases on the Monday following the change. The two days following the DST change also see an increase in hospitalizations for brain attacks, with the overall rate of those caused by reduced blood supply being 8% higher during these days than at any other time of the year. The changing of the clocks is also related to an increase in auto accidents, particularly on the Monday following the spring shift. Experts theorize that these auto accidents occur because drivers are tired from losing the hour of sleep after the spring change. So far, only two states — Hawaii and Arizona — have opted out of DST, a decision made back in the 1960s. For those who still observe it, biochemist Anna Persaud has something to say. “Eating your three meals 15 to 30 minutes progressively earlier can help get the body used to its new routine,” says Persaud. “Leaving a 4-hour to 5-hour gap between your last meal of the day and bedtime increases sleep duration and decreases awakening after sleep. Gradually changing your sleep schedule for several days leading up to DST promotes a smoother transition.” She also recommends calming activities, such as reading or taking a warm bath, for those who struggle with sleep to ease the transition. 56. According to the passage, DST was initially adopted to _______. A. reduce energy consumption B. improve sleep quality C. lengthen daylight hours D. ensure victory in the war 57. According to the passage, which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of the DST change? A. More environmental burdens. B. More mental sufferings. C. Change of transportation route. D. Risks of physical health issues. 58. What can be inferred from Persaud’s advice on how to cope with DST? A. People can keep their original lifestyle without making any changes. B. People should adjust to DST gradually rather than make sudden changes. C. People should be encouraged to observe DST despite its negative impact. D. People need useful tips based on individual differences in body response. 59. What’s the writing purpose of the passage? A. To highlight the negative effects of DST and tips for adapting to it. B. To appeal to the public to vote for skipping the DST change. C. To explain the historical context and evolving trend of DST. D. To compare two experts’ different perspectives on DST. 【答案】56. A 57. D 58. B 59. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍夏令时的起源、推行现状，以及它带来的负面影响和应对建议。 56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This practice, first introduced in Germany during World WarⅠin 1916 to conserve electricity, is now followed by over 70 countries in an effort to extend daylight hours. (这种做法于 1916 年第一次世界大战期间首创于德国，初衷是节约电力，如今已有 70 多个国家采用，以此来延长白昼时长)”可知，夏令时最初被采用是为了减少能源消耗。故选A项。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Brown states that the spring DST changes are associated with a 24% increase in heart attack cases on the Monday following the change.(布朗指出，春季夏令时切换后，紧随调整的那个周一，心脏病发作病例会增加 24%。)”和“The two days following the DST change also see an increase in hospitalizations for brain attacks, with the overall rate of those caused by reduced blood supply being 8% higher during these days than at any other time of the year.(夏令时切换后的两天，中风住院病例也有所增加，其中因供血不足引发的中风病例整体发生率，要比一年中其他任何时段高出 8%。”，以及第五段的“The changing of the clocks is also related to an increase in auto accidents, particularly on the Monday following the spring shift. (交调整时钟的做法同样与交通事故数量的增加有关，尤其是在春季夏令时切换后的那个周一)”可知，夏令时切换会带来身体健康方面的风险。故选D项。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段Persaud的建议“Eating your three meals 15 to 30 minutes progressively earlier can help get the body used to its new routine,” says Persaud. 珀绍德表示：“每天三餐的用餐时间逐步提前15至30分钟，有助于让身体适应新的作息规律。”)”和“Gradually changing your sleep schedule for several days leading up to DST promotes a smoother transition. (在夏令时来临前的几天里，逐步调整你的睡眠作息，有助于实现更平稳的过渡)”可知，应对夏令时的关键是循序渐进地调整，而非突然改变。故选B项。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章前半部分介绍夏令时的起源，随后重点阐述它带来的睡眠不足、健康风险、经济损失等负面影响，最后给出专家提出的适应建议。短文的目的是强调夏令时的负面影响及适应技巧。故选A项。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A robot is chatting to an elderly British man in his bedroom, speaking in a warm and cheerful tone. Perhaps due to the man’s age, the robot starts to ask about his memories of the Second World War. The man then talks about his father’s service in the army and how they were separated for many years. ____60____ The behavior is the product of the Caresses project, which seeks to develop robots capable of considering the cultural background of the people they interact with. Since the man is British, the robot thinks he will find such a topic engaging, without taking his individual emotions into account. Cultural robotics is part of a wider movement to make robotics more culturally inclusive. ____61____ For example, much of the Internet is in English, so large language models are primarily trained on English text, which can carry cultural bias. Similarly, although making robots more culturally sensitive is meant to be helpful, people are worried about where it could lead, considering the diverse cultural preferences across different social groups. People from different cultures react differently to robots. For instance, cultures vary in their expectations of personal space, which affects how far they prefer robots to stand from them. ____62____ People can understand a robot more easily when it uses expressions they are familiar with. Culture is a complex concept, open to various explanations. ____63____ To avoid designing robots based on fixed ideas, we will need to be more thoughtful. A. Does this topic really hold a person’s interest? B. However, concerns about this have been raised. C. This practice is widely recognized across cultures. D. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all approach is impractical. E. Why does a robot mention a potentially painful topic? F. Facial expressions are also interpreted differently across cultures. 【答案】60. E 61.
