Best Reads in 2025
Unequal by Eugenia Cheng
You might think things are either equal or they aren’t, but for mathematician Eugenia Cheng, some things are more equal than others — in maths and in life. Her clever exploration of the meaning of “equals” helps us grasp mathematical complexities — and the everyday dangers of assuming, for example, two people who score the same on an IQ test are equally intelligent.
Tree Hunting by Paul Wood
What is Barney? How old is ancient? The answers lie in a truly ambitious, glorious book of trees, complete with maps, photographs and travel notes. It is built round the unusual idea of setting out in search of the 1,000 best individual trees that grow in the towns and cities of Britain and Ireland. The idea from Paul Wood’s field trip offers a way to honour trees that can live up to 3,000 years and shape, or are shaped by, their surroundings.
The Lost Girls of Autism (自闭症) by Gina Rippon
Discovering the true state of affairs about women, girls and autism — that this group has been underestimated in the prevalence (流行) of autism in this group — can only be good. But for neuroscientist Gina Rippon, it is also bittersweet. In this excellent, state-of-the-art account of autism in girls, she admits that by accepting the belief that autism was much more common in boys, “I have been part of the problem I’m hoping this book will solve”.
A Short History of Stupidity by Stuart Jeffries
What could be more stupid than writing a history of stupidity, asks author of, er, just such a book, Stuart Jeffries. Luckily for him and for us, there is a lot to like in this clever exploration. After all, what do we really mean by stupidity? Ignorance? Foolishness? Inability to learn? As Jeffries says, stupid is a judgement, not a fact — science can’t measure it, except perhaps negatively, by measuring low IQ scores.
21. Which book will attract readers interested in exploring nature?
A. Tree Hunting. B. Unequal.
C. The Lost Girls of Autism. D. A Short History of Stupidity.
22. What is the main focus of The Lost Girls of Autism?
A. The ways to help boys with autism get treatment.
B. The relationship between autism and mental health.
C. The misunderstanding of autism in women and girls.
D. The difference between autistic boys and autistic girls.
23. What do Unequal and A Short History of Stupidity have in common?
A. Both talk about the importance of IQ tests.
B. Both are written by the same mathematician.
C. Both mainly discuss social problems in modern life.
D. Both challenge fixed definitions of abstract concepts.
B
In an age where house calls are becoming a relic of the past, one West Michigan doctor is bringing them back — with a twist (转折). His patients do not have heartstrings, but they do have 88 keys and a different kind of string altogether. Meet Josiah Jackson, known across social media as “The Piano Doctor.” At just 21 years old, he is already booked months in advance, with a waiting area that stretches across West Michigan. His specialty is giving voice back to instruments that have been silent for years.
Josiah has everything needed to treat his patients: steady hands and a good pair of ears. But when you call for a tune-up, you hardly expect someone so young to arrive. “I get that a lot,” he admits. Yet age matters little when the instruments he works on are often older than their owners. He explains that pianos are far more complex than they appear, with many moving parts that require careful attention and deep understanding.
Some might say Josiah was born for this work. Some of his earliest memories involve sitting at a piano. Although he once dreamed of becoming a performer, he later realized that life on stage was not what he truly wanted. At 17, he discovered piano tuning. He contacted a local tuner, followed him for a day, and soon entered a supportive community eager to welcome younger members.
What began as curiosity quickly became a profession. Josiah started his business while still in high school, building his own website and handling all the scheduling himself. Now, he works long hours and is booked far in advance. He is even preparing to hire an apprentice (学徒), hoping to pass on skills that are becoming increasingly rare.
Social media has helped him reach a wider audience, but his values remain traditional. He believes many modern products are made to be thrown away, while pianos are built to last.
24. What is special about Josiah Jackson’s work?
A. He repairs very old pianos found in museums. B. He treats instruments instead of human patients.
C. He teaches how to repair pianos on social media. D. He travels worldwide to give piano performances.
25. We can infer from paragraph 2 that Josiah Jackson ________.
A thinks age is an advantage for his work B. has professional competence for his job
C. is looked down upon for being too young D. finds piano repairing easier than expected
26. Why did Josiah Jackson give up his dream of becoming a performer?
A. He found being a performer didn’t match his real desire.
B. He was attracted by the well-paid work of piano tuning.
C. He failed to get professional training for stage performance.
D. He had to focus on his piano repair business in high school.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Young Musician Finds Fame Online B. Social Media Helps a Young Man Succeed
C. The Challenges of Starting a Business Young D. Bringing Music Back Through Craftsmanship
C
As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators.” When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away.” When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together.” When describing how the market demand “is going up and down,” you could visually show a wave shape with your hands.
To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product.
The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive.
What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency.” And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive.
But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting (坐立不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose.
28. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1?
A To compare different types of gestures. B. To explain why gestures attract attention.
C. To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas. D. To list common mistakes in public speaking.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By attending many live TED talks. B. By judging the overall quality of talks.
C By collecting online likes for some talks. D. By reviewing talks and testing audiences.
30. What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures?
A. They give priority to visual meaning. B. They judge the speaker more favorably.
C. They notice more gestures than content. D. They show less interest in abstract ideas.
31. What is the author’s suggestion to speakers?
A. Designing some gestures in advance. B. Focusing on the frequency of gestures.
C. Reducing gestures to avoid distraction. D. Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant.
D
In 2019 alone, the US generated 66 million tons of food waste. 60 percent of that waste ended up in landfills. According to one report, the carbon dioxide generated from food waste is equal to the emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.
To address this issue, a pair of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed an AI-assisted 3D printer capable of converting food waste into everyday kitchen items like cups. They hope their invention, called the Foodres-Ai Printer, can repurpose waste before it reaches trash cans, helping to develop “hyper-local circular (循环的) economies.”
The printer operates with a mobile app. Users take a photo of the waste, and then the app’s object detection AI model analyzes the image. Once the object is identified, the app suggests possible “recipes” for items it could be converted into. Users can choose from pre-made models, such as glasses, or create their own custom objects. After an object is selected, the device automatically adds natural additives and converts them into a bioplastic paste. This paste is then fed into a system with automated heating, which shapes the mixture into the final product. Users can open a panel to get their item.
“The entire process, after loading the material, requires just a single button press and is designed to be accessible even to people with no prior experience using a 3D printer.” Biru Cao writes on her website.
By turning everyday food waste into useful objects, the Foodres-Ai Printer shows how technology can reshape daily habits. Instead of throwing waste away, households are given a practical way to reuse it. If such devices become more common, they could reduce pressure on landfills while encouraging people to take part in more sustainable and responsible living.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By telling a personal story about food waste.
B. By describing the harmful effects of food waste.
C. By presenting data on the severity of food waste.
D. By exploring the underlying causes of food waste.
33. What does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Clarifying. B. Releasing. C. Separating. D. Transforming.
34. What aspect of the new printer does paragraph 3 focus on?
A. Its design process. B. Its working principles.
C. Its potential effect. D. Its critical components.
35. Which of the following can best describe the Foodres-AI Printer?
A. Time-saving but weighty. B. Single-purpose and costly.
C. User-friendly and innovative. D. Energy-efficient but complex.

72. 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。
I made an appointment with Jack to go to Ice Lake Park over the weekend. We planned to take photos of the winter scenery for a photo competition organized by our school. Both of us enjoyed photography, and we believed the frozen lake would offer a perfect subject for the contest.
Excitement filled me as I prepared that morning. Layers of thick clothes were put on one by one, and my camera was carefully checked before being placed into my bag. Everything felt just right, and I was in a cheerful mood when I met Jack at the park entrance. We talked about angles, light, and the kind of photos that might stand out.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful. As we walked deeper into the park, the number of visitors slowly decreased. The further we went, the more impressive the scenery became. Tall trees stood still in the cold air, and I hung my camera bag on a branch nearby, thinking it would keep it out of the way while we took photos. The frozen lake looked smooth and clear under the winter sun. The silence made the place feel special, and we decided to stay in this area to take photos, unaware of the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack moved around trying to find the best position, while I focused on adjusting my camera. He suggested stepping closer to the lake to capture its reflection. A slight sense of unease crossed my mind, but the beauty of the scene made me hesitate to stop him. Everything seemed calm and harmless.
Without warning, a sharp cracking sound broke the silence. I looked up just in time to see the ice under Jack’s feet break apart. In the next second, he fell straight into the freezing water. My heart raced as Jack struggled in the lake, broken ice floating around him. His face was filled with fear, and his desperate shouts echoed across the empty area. Realizing that no one else was nearby made the situation even more frightening.
注意:(1)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。
I froze for a second before coming to my senses.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking.

【原文】W: Today on Difficult Discussions, we are going to talk with Dr James Armstrong on the subject of art. Welcome, Dr Armstrong!
M: Hi. It’s great to be here.
W: To begin with, many people are a little confused about the purpose of art. It seems to serve no real use. It is not like a car or food. Why do we need art anyway?
M: Well. First, art can make our world beautiful and makes us feel good. Some paintings may not seem beautiful when we first look at them. But when we take a second look, they engage our minds. We are able to see a beauty that we did not see at first.
W: We can get that same feeling by looking at nature.
M: True, but art makes our lives better in ways that nature can never do. In contrast to nature, art must be interpreted and understood. When we try to understand an artwork, it is as though we entered into a conversation with the artist. The artist’s creative genius inspires us. It makes our lives more interesting.
W: Thank you, Dr Armstrong.
M: The pleasure was all mine.

【答案】18. A 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: Last summer I attended a two-week summer program on environmental protection organized by my university. At first, I signed up only because a few of my friends were going. But the experience turned out to be much more meaningful than I had expected. Each day, we took part in hands-on activities together. For example, we went to a nearby beach to pick up trash, planted trees in a local park, and visited a recycling center to learn how waste is sorted and reused. The most memorable moment was meeting an ocean scientist who had studied sea turtles for over 20 years. Her passion for ocean life really inspired me. I began to realize how our small actions can make a big difference. After the program, I’ve stopped buying bottled water and developed the habit of carrying a reusable bottle with me. Next year, I hope to volunteer for a long-term environmental project, maybe even abroad.

Best Reads in 2025
Unequal by Eugenia Cheng
You might think things are either equal or they aren’t, but for mathematician Eugenia Cheng, some things are more equal than others — in maths and in life. Her clever exploration of the meaning of “equals” helps us grasp mathematical complexities — and the everyday dangers of assuming, for example, two people who score the same on an IQ test are equally intelligent.
Tree Hunting by Paul Wood
What is Barney? How old is ancient? The answers lie in a truly ambitious, glorious book of trees, complete with maps, photographs and travel notes. It is built round the unusual idea of setting out in search of the 1,000 best individual trees that grow in the towns and cities of Britain and Ireland. The idea from Paul Wood’s field trip offers a way to honour trees that can live up to 3,000 years and shape, or are shaped by, their surroundings.
The Lost Girls of Autism (自闭症) by Gina Rippon
Discovering the true state of affairs about women, girls and autism — that this group has been underestimated in the prevalence (流行) of autism in this group — can only be good. But for neuroscientist Gina Rippon, it is also bittersweet. In this excellent, state-of-the-art account of autism in girls, she admits that by accepting the belief that autism was much more common in boys, “I have been part of the problem I’m hoping this book will solve”.
A Short History of Stupidity by Stuart Jeffries
What could be more stupid than writing a history of stupidity, asks author of, er, just such a book, Stuart Jeffries. Luckily for him and for us, there is a lot to like in this clever exploration. After all, what do we really mean by stupidity? Ignorance? Foolishness? Inability to learn? As Jeffries says, stupid is a judgement, not a fact — science can’t measure it, except perhaps negatively, by measuring low IQ scores.
21. Which book will attract readers interested in exploring nature?
A. Tree Hunting. B. Unequal.
C. The Lost Girls of Autism. D. A Short History of Stupidity.
22. What is the main focus of The Lost Girls of Autism?
A. The ways to help boys with autism get treatment.
B. The relationship between autism and mental health.
C. The misunderstanding of autism in women and girls.
D. The difference between autistic boys and autistic girls.
23. What do Unequal and A Short History of Stupidity have in common?
A. Both talk about the importance of IQ tests.
B. Both are written by the same mathematician.
C. Both mainly discuss social problems in modern life.
D. Both challenge fixed definitions of abstract concepts.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Tree Hunting部分“It is built round the unusual idea of setting out in search of the 1,000 best individual trees that grow in the towns and cities of Britain and Ireland.(它基于这样一个独特的理念而建立:即要前往英国和爱尔兰的各个城镇,寻找那1000棵最出色的树木)”可知,这本书围绕寻找英国和爱尔兰城镇里的优质树木展开,会吸引对探索自然感兴趣的读者。故选A。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Lost Girls of Autism部分“Discovering the true state of affairs about women, girls and autism — that this group has been underestimated in the prevalence (流行) of autism in this group — can only be good.(了解有关女性、女孩以及自闭症的真实情况——即这一群体在自闭症的患病率方面一直被低估了——这肯定是件好事)”可知,这本书聚焦女性和女孩群体的自闭症患病率被低估的真相,核心是纠正对女性和女孩自闭症的误解。故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Unequal部分“Her clever exploration of the meaning of “equals” helps us grasp mathematical complexities — and the everyday dangers of assuming, for example, two people who score the same on an IQ test are equally intelligent.(她对“相等”这一概念的巧妙阐释帮助我们理解了数学的复杂性——比如,我们也要明白,例如在智商测试中得分相同的两个人,并不能因此就被认为是同样聪明的)”以及A Short History of Stupidity部分“After all, what do we really mean by stupidity? Ignorance? Foolishness? Inability to learn? As Jeffries says, stupid is a judgement, not a fact — science can’t measure it, except perhaps negatively, by measuring low IQ scores.(毕竟,我们所说的“愚蠢”到底指的是什么呢?是无知?是愚蠢行为?是缺乏学习能力?正如杰弗里斯所说,愚蠢是一种判断,而非事实——科学无法对其进行衡量,除非是以负面的方式,即通过衡量低智商分数来体现)”可知,两本书分别探讨了“平等”和“愚蠢”的深层含义,都挑战了抽象概念的固定定义。故选D。
B
In an age where house calls are becoming a relic of the past, one West Michigan doctor is bringing them back — with a twist (转折). His patients do not have heartstrings, but they do have 88 keys and a different kind of string altogether. Meet Josiah Jackson, known across social media as “The Piano Doctor.” At just 21 years old, he is already booked months in advance, with a waiting area that stretches across West Michigan. His specialty is giving voice back to instruments that have been silent for years.
Josiah has everything needed to treat his patients: steady hands and a good pair of ears. But when you call for a tune-up, you hardly expect someone so young to arrive. “I get that a lot,” he admits. Yet age matters little when the instruments he works on are often older than their owners. He explains that pianos are far more complex than they appear, with many moving parts that require careful attention and deep understanding.
Some might say Josiah was born for this work. Some of his earliest memories involve sitting at a piano. Although he once dreamed of becoming a performer he later realized that life on stage was not what he truly wanted. At 17, he discovered piano tuning. He contacted a local tuner, followed him for a day, and soon entered a supportive community eager to welcome younger members.
What began as curiosity quickly became a profession. Josiah started his business while still in high school, building his own website and handling all the scheduling himself. Now, he works long hours and is booked far in advance. He is even preparing to hire an apprentice (学徒), hoping to pass on skills that are becoming increasingly rare.
Social media has helped him reach a wider audience, but his values remain traditional. He believes many modern products are made to be thrown away, while pianos are built to last.
24. What is special about Josiah Jackson’s work?
A. He repairs very old pianos found in museums. B. He treats instruments instead of human patients.
C. He teaches how to repair pianos on social media. D. He travels worldwide to give piano performances.
25. We can infer from paragraph 2 that Josiah Jackson ________.
A. thinks age is an advantage for his work B. has professional competence for his job
C. is looked down upon for being too young D. finds piano repairing easier than expected
26. Why did Josiah Jackson give up his dream of becoming a performer?
A. He found being a performer didn’t match his real desire.
B. He was attracted by the well-paid work of piano tuning.
C. He failed to get professional training for stage performance.
D. He had to focus on his piano repair business in high school.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A Young Musician Finds Fame Online B. Social Media Helps a Young Man Succeed
C. The Challenges of Starting a Business Young D. Bringing Music Back Through Craftsmanship
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了21岁的Josiah Jackson放弃成为钢琴演奏家的梦想,转而从事钢琴调音工作,凭借专业的技能和认真的态度,让众多沉寂多年的乐器重新发声,传承手艺并为人们带回音乐的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“His patients do not have heartstrings, but they do have 88 keys and a different kind of string altogether. Meet Josiah Jackson, known across social media as “The Piano Doctor.” At just 21 years old, he is already booked months in advance, with a waiting area that stretches across West Michigan. His specialty is giving voice back to instruments that have been silent for years.(他的病人没有情感之弦,但他们却拥有88根琴键和一种完全不同的“弦”。来认识一下乔西亚·杰克逊吧,他在社交媒体上被称为“钢琴医生”。年仅21岁的他就已经提前好几个月就预约满了,其等候区甚至延伸到了西密歇根州的各地。他的专长在于让那些沉寂多年、无法发声的乐器重新发出声音)”可知,Josiah的“病人”不是人类,而是沉寂多年的乐器,这是他工作的特别之处。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Josiah has everything needed to treat his patients: steady hands and a good pair of ears. But when you call for a tune-up, you hardly expect someone so young to arrive. “I get that a lot,” he admits. Yet age matters little when the instruments he works on are often older than their owners. He explains that pianos are far more complex than they appear, with many moving parts that require careful attention and deep understanding.(约西亚具备治疗病人的所有必备条件:他手法娴熟,听力也很好。但当你需要进行预约调音时,你很难想到会有这么年轻的一个人前来。他承认:“这种情况经常发生。”然而,即便他年纪轻轻,但当他所维修的乐器往往比其主人还要老旧时,年龄也就变得无关紧要了。他解释说,钢琴远比其外表看起来要复杂得多,里面有许多活动部件,需要细致的关注和深入的理解)”可知,Josiah具备稳定的双手、敏锐的听力,还能深刻理解钢琴的复杂构造,由此可推断他拥有这份工作所需的专业能力。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Although he once dreamed of becoming a performer, he later realized that life on stage was not what he truly wanted.(尽管他曾经梦想成为一名表演者,但后来他意识到在舞台上生活并非他真正想要的)”可知,Josiah后来意识到舞台生活并非自己真正想要的,所以放弃了成为演奏家的梦想。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In an age where house calls are becoming a relic of the past, one West Michigan doctor is bringing them back — with a twist (转折).(在上门问诊正逐渐成为历史遗迹的时代,密歇根州西部的一位医生却正在让它回归——只不过带着一种全新的形式)”结合文章讲述了Josiah通过钢琴调音的手艺,让沉寂的乐器重新发声,把音乐带回人们的生活。D选项“通过精湛工艺将音乐重现于世”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators.” When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away.” When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together.” When describing how the market demand “is going up and down,” you could visually show a wave shape with your hands.
To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product.
The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive.
What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency.” And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive.
But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting (坐立不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose.
28. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To compare different types of gestures. B. To explain why gestures attract attention.
C. To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas. D. To list common mistakes in public speaking.
29. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. By attending many live TED talks. B. By judging the overall quality of talks.
C. By collecting online likes for some talks. D. By reviewing talks and testing audiences.
30. What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures?
A. They give priority to visual meaning. B. They judge the speaker more favorably.
C. They notice more gestures than content. D. They show less interest in abstract ideas.
31. What is the author’s suggestion to speakers?
A. Designing some gestures in advance. B. Focusing on the frequency of gestures.
C. Reducing gestures to avoid distraction. D. Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者以自身观察为切入点,通过分析TED演讲视频和开展受众测试的研究方式,揭示了阐释性手势能提升沟通效率的原理,同时指出无关手势会造成干扰,并给出了演讲时的手势使用建议。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators.” When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away.” When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together.” When describing how the market demand “is going up and down,” you could visually show a wave shape with your hands.(这让我不禁思考:手势真的能让交流者更有效率吗?简短的回答是:能,但前提是这些手势要能直观地表达出你正在谈论的内容。研究人员将这类动作称为“阐释动作”。在谈论距离时,你可以说“更远”时可以张开双手;在解释两个概念之间的关系时,你可以说“这些想法相互契合”时可以将双手合拢;在描述市场需求“时而上升时而下降”的情况时,你可以用双手做出波浪状的动作来表示)”可知,作者列举这些手势的例子,是为了说明手势如何在视觉上体现口头表达的内容。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product.(为了对大规模的手势行为进行研究,我和我的团队使用能够逐帧检测和分类手部动作的AI工具,对来自超过2000场TED演讲的20万个视频片段进行了分析。同时,我们还配合了对照实验,实验中我们的研究参与者对展示产品的创业者进行了评估)”可知,研究团队一方面用人工智能分析TED演讲视频片段,另一方面开展对照实验让参与者评价演讲者,是通过复盘各类演讲并开展受众测试来研究的。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive.(在经过人工智能分析的TED演讲数据中,具有说明性动作的演讲者所获得的观众评价更高,这体现在超过3300万次的视频在线点赞中。而在我们的实验中,1600名参与者认为使用说明性动作的演讲者更清晰、更专业、更有说服力)”可知,使用阐释性手势的演讲者会得到听众更高的评价,听众会更认可这类演讲者。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose.(一个实用的启示:注重表达的清晰度而非刻意的肢体动作。思考一下你的双手在何种情况下能自然地传达出你想要表达的意思——比如强调大小、方向或情感,并让它们有目的性地移动)”可知,作者建议演讲者让手势自然阐释所说内容,保持手势的目的性和相关性。故选D。
D
In 2019 alone, the US generated 66 million tons of food waste. 60 percent of that waste ended up in landfills. According to one report, the carbon dioxide generated from food waste is equal to the emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.
To address this issue, a pair of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed an AI-assisted 3D printer capable of converting food waste into everyday kitchen items like cups. They hope their invention, called the Foodres-Ai Printer, can repurpose waste before it reaches trash cans, helping to develop “hyper-local circular (循环的) economies.”
The printer operates with a mobile app. Users take a photo of the waste, and then the app’s object detection AI model analyzes the image. Once the object is identified, the app suggests possible “recipes” for items it could be converted into. Users can choose from pre-made models, such as glasses, or create their own custom objects. After an object is selected, the device automatically adds natural additives and converts them into a bioplastic paste. This paste is then fed into a system with automated heating, which shapes the mixture into the final product. Users can open a panel to get their item.
“The entire process, after loading the material, requires just a single button press and is designed to be accessible even to people with no prior experience using a 3D printer.” Biru Cao writes on her website.
By turning everyday food waste into useful objects, the Foodres-Ai Printer shows how technology can reshape daily habits. Instead of throwing waste away, households are given a practical way to reuse it. If such devices become more common, they could reduce pressure on landfills while encouraging people to take part in more sustainable and responsible living.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By telling a personal story about food waste.
B. By describing the harmful effects of food waste.
C. By presenting data on the severity of food waste.
D. By exploring the underlying causes of food waste.
33. What does the underlined word “converting” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Clarifying. B. Releasing. C. Separating. D. Transforming.
34. What aspect of the new printer does paragraph 3 focus on?
A. Its design process. B. Its working principles.
C. Its potential effect. D. Its critical components.
35. Which of the following can best describe the Foodres-AI Printer?
A. Time-saving but weighty. B. Single-purpose and costly.
C. User-friendly and innovative. D. Energy-efficient but complex.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。伊玛堪是赫哲族的一种口头说唱艺术,由诗歌和故事构成,被誉为民族文化的珍贵记录,曾因现代化进程濒临失传。近年来,政府采取一系列保护措施,让这一非遗艺术重焕生机,还入选了联合国教科文组织急需保护的文化遗产名录。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:伊玛堪是一种由诗歌和故事构成的口头艺术,它是赫哲族历史的珍贵记录。数百年来,这一艺术形式一直由“伊玛堪奇玛法”——那些拥有非凡语言能力的说书高手所传承,他们讲述着英雄战胜怪物、捍卫部落荣誉的故事。句子已有谓语动词stands,此处应用非谓语动词;an oral art和compose是被动关系,意为“由诗歌和故事组成的口头艺术”,故填composed。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。空处引导定语从句,先行词是storytellers,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,因此用who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:其独特之处在于,它通过多种旋律来展现不同的角色,而且没有伴奏乐器,这一特点使其与其他叙事艺术有所区别。set apart from…是固定搭配,意为“使……区别于……”,此处指无乐器伴奏的特点让伊玛堪区别于其他艺术形式。故填from。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于赫哲族没有文字,他们的文化完全依赖于这种口头传承的方式。此处修饰动词短语 relies on,应用副词形式,entire的副词是entirely,意为“完全地”。故填entirely。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:然而,现代化进程导致了这一现象的急剧恶化:到了21世纪,能够完整演绎这些长篇故事的仅剩下五位大师了。a sharp decline是固定表达,意为“急剧衰落”,decline在此处是可数名词,且sharp以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【66题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:政府所优先考虑的是收集那些濒临消失的珍贵文化资料。空格处引导主语从句,从句中prioritized缺少宾语,指“政府优先考虑的事情”,应用what引导,注意首字母大写。故填What。
【67题详解】
考查形容词。句意:专家们走访各个村庄,寻找具有代表性的表演者,记录了超过1000小时的表演内容,并收集了相关文本,以建立一个数字档案。此处修饰名词practitioners,应用形容词形式,represent的形容词是representative,意为“有代表性的”。故填representative。
【68题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:目前,黑龙江已有7个研究机构在运作,从业人数已超过100人。此处是“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,宾语the number of practitioners和grow是主动关系,应用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填growing。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在线课程的时长达150小时,旨在教授相关曲目;而各类音乐节则会举办演出活动,以激发公众的兴趣。句子已有谓语动词host,此处应用非谓语动词;举办表演的目的是激发公众兴趣,应用不定式作目的状语。故填to stimulate。
【70题详解】
考查名词。句意:如今,伊玛堪已获得国际认可,并被列入联合国教科文组织急需保护的遗产名录。形容词international后应接名词,作gained的宾语,recognize的名词是recognition,意为“认可”,且为不可数名词。故填recognition。

72. 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。
I made an appointment with Jack to go to Ice Lake Park over the weekend. We planned to take photos of the winter scenery for a photo competition organized by our school. Both of us enjoyed photography, and we believed the frozen lake would offer a perfect subject for the contest.
Excitement filled me as I prepared that morning. Layers of thick clothes were put on one by one, and my camera was carefully checked before being placed into my bag. Everything felt just right, and I was in a cheerful mood when I met Jack at the park entrance. We talked about angles, light, and the kind of photos that might stand out.
Ice Lake Park was quiet and beautiful. As we walked deeper into the park, the number of visitors slowly decreased. The further we went, the more impressive the scenery became. Tall trees stood still in the cold air, and I hung my camera bag on a branch nearby, thinking it would keep it out of the way while we took photos. The frozen lake looked smooth and clear under the winter sun. The silence made the place feel special, and we decided to stay in this area to take photos, unaware of the danger hidden beneath the ice.
Jack moved around, trying to find the best position, while I focused on adjusting my camera. He suggested stepping closer to the lake to capture its reflection. A slight sense of unease crossed my mind, but the beauty of the scene made me hesitate to stop him. Everything seemed calm and harmless.
Without warning, a sharp cracking sound broke the silence. I looked up just in time to see the ice under Jack’s feet break apart. In the next second, he fell straight into the freezing water. My heart raced as Jack struggled in the lake, broken ice floating around him. His face was filled with fear, and his desperate shouts echoed across the empty area. Realizing that no one else was nearby made the situation even more frightening.
注意:(1)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。
I froze for a second before coming to my senses.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I froze for a second before coming to my senses. Fear turned to sudden urgency. I looked around quickly and spotted the thick branch I’d hung my camera bag on earlier. I ran over at once, pulling it off the tree with all my strength. Rushing to the lake edge, I stretched the branch out to Jack and shouted loudly for him to grab it. His shaking fingers finally grabbed the branch. I pulled with all my energy, trying my best to drag him out of the freezing water.
When Jack was finally pulled onto the ground, he could not stop shaking. His wet clothes stuck to his body, making him shake heavily and his lips turn pale with cold. I took off my warm coat to wrap him up, and then brushed off the broken ice on his hair and clothes. I patted his back gently to calm him down, while my own legs still shook with fear. We stared at the lake, knowing we were lucky to be safe. That common branch, once for my camera bag, became our life-saving tool in the end.

Why did you choose that restaurant? I saw a video from a food blogger called emma. SHE said that restaurant was wonderful, the place looked nice, and the staff were really friendly, but honestly, the food wasn't as good as IT looked. In emma's video, IT tasted just okay. We have to admit, this kind of video helps some small restaurants get noticed. Still, we should take such videos with a grain of salt. You can take a look at the real reviews from customers. First.

Welcome, doctor armstrong. hi. It's great to be here. To begin with. many people are a little confused about the purpose of art. IT seems to serve no real use. IT is not like a car or food. Why do we need art anyway? Well, first, art can make our world beautiful and makes us feel good. Some paintings may not seem beautiful when we first look at them, but when we take a second look, they engage our minds. We are able to see a beauty that we did not see at first. We can get that same feeling by looking at nature. True, but art makes our lives Better in ways that nature can never do. In contrast to nature, art must be interpreted and understood when we try to understand an artwork. IT is as so we entered into a conversation with the artist. The artist creative genius inspires us. IT makes our lives more interesting. Thank you. Doctor armstrong. the pleasure was all . mine today. On difficult discussions, we are going to talk with doctor James armstrong on the subject of art.

At first, I signed up only because a few of my friends were going, but the experience turned out to be much more meaningful than I had expected each day, we took part in hands on activities together. For example, we went to a nearby beach to pick up trash, planted trees in a local park and visited a recycling centre to learn how waste is sorted and reused. The most memorable moment was meeting in ocean scientists who had studied sea turtle for over twenty years. Her passion for ocean life really inspired me. I began to realize how our small actions can make a big difference. After the program, i've stopped buying bottled water and developed the habit of Carrying a reusable bottle with me. Next year, I hope to volunteer for a long term environmental project, maybe even abroad. Last summer, I attended a two week summer program on environmental protection organized by my university.
