She started self-study exams at 72 and spent 16 years finishing 97 exams. So far, she has obtained three undergraduate degrees from famous universities in Jiangsu Province. Feng’s connection with self-study exams dates back over 30 years. During the early days of China’s reform and opening-up, the self-study examination system calling for self-learning grew Feeling the call of the times and quite lacking in knowledge, Feng prepared to face the mental challenge and applied for a self-study examination. However, she had to put her studies on hold due to a busy daily life. As a mother of two daughters, her busy work and family life consumed all her time, and her dream of advancement could only remain a seed in her mind. After retiring, with a peaceful life, she determined to get self-study certificates (证书). But studying was not easy for Feng. As she grew older, her physical abilities declined, and the updating of knowledge also brought her difficulties. However, she was strict with herself and cut off almost all events for fun. Unwilling to put off her daily study, she always ignored physical pain to persist in her studies. Even after recovering from a stroke (中风), she went back to study as soon as possible. When encountering words she couldn’t understand, she not only looked up explanations in dictionaries but also called her grandchildren to ask for guidance. In 16 years, she passed 44 subjects through unwavering determination. Recently, Feng received her graduation certificate and was praised by the university and education authority. Although she stops taking self-study exams due to health problems, she still keeps learning, such as playing the piano. She hopes that her experience of pursuing self-study exams at an advanced age will inspire more young people to cultivate a lifelong habit of learning. 4.

The shift from traditional to digital technology started in the 1960s, and people who lived through this historical change are now entering their 80s. A new study explores what we can learn from them about technology’s impact on the aging brain. German scientist Manfred Spitzer put forward the “digital dementia” theory in 2012, claiming that over-reliance on digital devices weakens cognitive abilities. This is linked to passive screen time, handing over thinking tasks to technology (like not memorizing phone numbers), and increased daily distraction. However, a meta-analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour challenges this idea. Led by neuropsychologists Jared Benge and Michael Scullin, the study combined data from 57 research projects involving over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. It found no evidence for “digital dementia” — instead, more frequent technology use was linked to a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline. This significant benefit remained even after accounting for key factors like socioeconomic status and health conditions. Notably, technology’s protective effect is similar to or stronger than physical activity (35% risk reduction) and healthy blood pressure (13% risk reduction). Though more research is needed — especially on low- and middle-income country groups — the findings suggest technology use may actively promote the brain, like reading or learning a new language. Adapting to updates or devices could build “technological reserve” and help older adults stay connected and independent. In today’s fast-paced digital world, avoiding technology is impractical. Instead of worrying about its harms, we should focus on how to use it wisely. While AI’s long-term impact on aging brains is unknown, our ability to adapt to past technological changes offers reason for optimism. 8. Why does the author mention “digital dementia” theory in paragraph 2? A To clarify a concept. B. To challenge a theory. C. To lead in a new study. D. To support an opinion. 9. What is the main finding of the study led by Jared Benge and Michael Scullin? A. Technology overuse causes brain disorders. B. Technology use lowers cognitive decline risk. C. Exercise proves more effective than technology. D. Mental abilities are impacted by health conditions. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the long-term impact of AI on aging brains? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. AI updates can boost the function of aging brains. B. Technology use matters more than physical activities. C. Benge and Scullin’s study ignored age differences in the elderly. D. Current research may need more data from low-income groups. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了数字技术尤其是生成式人工智能对生活产生重大影响，有研究提出 “数字痴呆症” 理论认为过度依赖数字设备会削弱认知能力，而一项新的荟萃分析则挑战了该理论，发现频繁使用技术能降低认知衰退风险，且技术的保护作用显著，作者还指出应明智使用技术，对人工智能对衰老大脑的长期影响持乐观态度。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“German scientist Manfred Spitzer put forward the “digital dementia” theory in 2012, claiming that over-reliance on digital devices weakens cognitive abilities. This is linked to passive screen time, handing over thinking tasks to technology (like not memorizing phone numbers), and increased daily distraction. However, a meta-analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour challenges this idea.（德国科学家曼弗雷德·施皮策于 2012 年提出了“数字痴呆”理论，称过度依赖数字设备会削弱认知能力。这与被动的屏幕时间、将思考任务交给技术（比如不再记忆电话号码）以及日常分心增多有关。然而，发表在《自然・人类行为》上的一项荟萃分析对这一观点提出了质疑。）” 以及下文随即介绍相关新研究的内容可推知，作者提及 “数字痴呆症” 理论是为了引入一项新的研究。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It found no evidence for “digital dementia” — instead, more frequent technology use was linked to a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline.(该研究没有发现 “数字痴呆症”的证据 —— 相反，更频繁地使用技术与认知衰退风险降低 58% 有关。)”可推知，该研究的主要发现是使用技术能降低认知衰退的风险。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While AI’s long-term impact on aging brains is unknown, our ability to adapt to past technological changes offers reason for optimism. (虽然人工智能对衰老大脑的长期影响尚不清楚，但我们适应过去技术变革的能力给了我们乐观的理由。)”可推知，作者对人工智能对衰老大脑的长期影响持积极的态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据文章第四段 “Though more research is needed — especially on low- and middle-income country groups — the findings suggest technology use may actively promote the brain.(尽管还需要更多的研究 —— 尤其是针对中低收入国家群体的研究 —— 但研究结果表明，使用技术可能会积极地促进大脑健康。)” 可推知，目前的研究可能需要更多来自低收入群体的数据。故选D。 D On winter evenings in Europe and North America, thousands of starlings (椋鸟) gather an hour before sunset to perform dazzling air shows. They move as one — surging, waving, and wheeling like a single shape-shifting creature — before settling in nighttime habitats. How these birds cooperate so tightly has puzzled researchers for over a century. In 1931, biologist Edmund Selous suggested the “murmuration” (群飞) came from telepathy (心灵感应), arguing that the birds “think collectively, and all act at the same time”. Also, computer models showed their simple rules could create synchronized group movement. A breakthrough came in 2005, when physicists Andrea Cavagna and Irene Giardina’s team spent three years photographing Rome’s murmurations with cameras, reconstructing 3D positions of over 4,000 birds. Their finding is shocking — each starling only interacts with seven nearby neighbors. Following three simple rules — fly in the same direction, stay close, but not too close — these interactions create the complex display. Dutch researcher Charlotte Hemelrijk confirmed this with a computer model that matched the Rome data, proving no leader or telepathy is needed. Surprisingly, the flock has “scale-free correlations” (无标度相关性): a bird’s turn spreads across the group, totally correct, like a perfect game of telephone. Each starling’s senses effectively cover the whole flock, letting it respond to distant events. Today, researchers use tools like a bird-shaped robot to study avoidant strategies, and cameras to track flocks. But starling numbers are dropping — British populations halved in 60 years. Europe and North America have lost billions of birds due to habitat loss and human activity. Starlings have taught us that Earth’s most beautiful phenomena, like murmurations, need species to thrive in large numbers. As photographer Søren Solkær says, witnessing a murmuration reflects our deep bond with nature. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a scene. B. By giving an example. C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison. 13. What does the underlined word “synchronized” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Rapid. B. Silent. C. Uniform. D. Separate. 14. How do starlings achieve their group movement according to paragraph 3? A. They use telepathy to “think collectively”. B. They follow instructions from a single leader. C. Each bird interacts with only seven neighbors. D. They receive signals from distant birds directly. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. The rejection of telepathy theory. B. The sharp fall of starling populations in certain areas. C. The evolution of starlings’ flying. D. The mystery and protection of starling murmurations. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍椋鸟群飞壮观景象，揭秘每只鸟靠与七只同伴互动、遵循简单规则实现群飞，同时指出其数量锐减，呼吁保护。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“On winter evenings in Europe and North America, thousands of starlings (椋鸟) gather an hour before sunset to perform dazzling air shows. They move as one — surging, waving, and wheeling like a single shape-shifting creature — before settling in nighttime habitats. How these birds cooperate so tightly has puzzled researchers for over a century.(在欧洲和北美的冬日夜晚，成千上万只椋鸟会在日落前一小时聚集在一起，进行一场令人眼花缭乱的空中表演。它们齐心协力地行动——起伏、摆动、盘旋，仿佛是一个形态变幻的单一生物——然后栖息在夜间栖息地。这些鸟儿为何能如此紧密地协作，这个问题已经困扰研究人员一个多世纪了)”可知，作者通过描述一个场景引入文章话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In 1931, biologist Edmund Selous suggested the “murmuration” (群飞) came from telepathy (心灵感应), arguing that the birds “think collectively, and all act at the same time”.(1931年，生物学家埃德蒙·塞洛斯提出“鸟群聚集现象”是由心灵感应造成的，他认为这些鸟“共同思考，所有鸟同时行动”)”可知，椋鸟群体动作协同一致，故划线词意思是“一致的”。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Their finding is shocking — each starling only interacts with seven nearby neighbors.(他们的发现令人震惊——每只椋鸟只会与附近的七只同伴进行交流互动)”可知，每只椋鸟仅和周围七只同伴互动，实现群体移动。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In 1931, biologist Edmund Selous suggested the “murmuration” (群飞) came from telepathy (心灵感应), arguing that the birds “think collectively, and all act at the same time”.(1931年，生物学家埃德蒙·塞洛斯提出“鸟群聚集现象”是由心灵感应造成的，他认为这些鸟“共同思考，所有鸟同时行动”)”结合文章介绍椋鸟群飞的壮观景象，揭秘每只鸟靠与七只同伴互动、遵循简单规则实现群飞，同时指出其数量锐减，呼吁保护。可知，这篇文章的主要观点是椋鸟群聚现象的神秘之处及其保护措施。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Common Tips of Personal Financial Management Building savings is essential for everyone. ____16____ By learning financial management strategies, you can make informed decisions starting today. Treat loans as a costly responsibility. If you need money, your instinct might be to borrow from a lender. Lenders charge interest to make a profit, and those interest rates are so high that the amount you’re paying back is significantly more than the amount you borrow. ____17____ Avoid guaranteeing someone else’s debt. ____18____ Acting as a loan guarantor makes you fully responsible for their debt if they fail to make payments. This commitment can damage your credit, leading to higher costs or denial of future loans. You can offer other forms of support. For example, helping them review their credit report. ____19____ Some people who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year find themselves living paycheck to paycheck. That can happen when people think a higher income means they have to live a lifestyle that matches it. This is called “lifestyle inflation (膨胀)”. You’d better make sure to increase the amount you save regularly. A helpful method is to set up automatic transfers to a separate savings account. Build stable investments. Some people invest in what’s trendy right now, like shares of individual stocks (股票). When you pick stocks, you are trying to predict the future. As a matter of fact, some of those guesses end up being right. ____20____ Try to use a percentage rule. Invest 80% of your money in tried-and-true investments, and the other 20% of your money can go into things that are hot and cool. With these approaches, at least a majority of your money isn’t going to be completely risked. A. It can trap you in a cycle of debt. B. Control spending as your income grows. C. This is a key step to avoid financial stress. D. Put your money in a high-interest savings account. E. But why leave your entire wealth-building strategy to chance? F. If your friend asks you to share a loan, it’s generally safer to decline. G. However, many people make poor choices without good financial advice. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文给出个人理财的常用技巧，包括重视储蓄、谨慎对待贷款与担保、控制支出、理性投资，帮助人们规避财务风险，做好财富管理。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Building savings is essential for everyone.(储蓄对于每个人来说都是至关重要的)”以及后文“By learning financial management strategies, you can make informed decisions starting today.(通过学习财务管理策略，从今天起你就能做出明智的决策了)”可知，前文强调储蓄很重要，后文指出通过学习理财策略能做出明智决定，G项“然而，很多人在没有好的理财建议的情况下做出糟糕的选择”，承上启下，引出理财学习的必要性。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据上文“If you need money, your instinct might be to borrow from a lender. Lenders charge interest to make a profit, and those interest rates are so high that the amount you’re paying back is significantly more than the amount you borrow.(如果你需要钱，你的第一反应可能会是向贷款人借款。贷款人会收取利息以获取利润，而这些利率非常高，以至于你偿还的金额远远超过了你所借的金额)”可知，前文说明贷款利息高，还款额远高于借款额，A项“它会让你陷入债务循环”，承接上文，点明高息贷款的严重后果。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Acting as a loan guarantor makes you fully responsible for their debt if they fail to make payments. This commitment can damage your credit, leading to higher costs or denial of future loans. You can offer other forms of support. For example, helping them review their credit report.(作为贷款担保人，如果借款人未能按时还款，你将承担全部还款责任。这种承诺可能会损害你的信用记录，导致更高的还款成本或未来贷款申请被拒绝。你还可以提供其他形式的支持。例如，帮助他们查看自己的信用报告)”可知，本段主旨是避免为他人债务担保，F项“如果你的朋友让你共同承担贷款，通常拒绝会更安全”，贴合段落主题，是对主旨的具体阐释。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Some people who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year find themselves living paycheck to paycheck. That can happen when people think a higher income means they have to live a lifestyle that matches it. This is called “lifestyle inflation (膨胀)”. You’d better make sure to increase the amount you save regularly. A helpful method is to set up automatic transfers to a separate savings account.(有些年收入高达数十万美元的人却发现自己只能靠月收入来维持生活。这种情况往往是因为人们认为更高的收入就意味着他们必须过上与之相匹配的生活方式。这就是所谓的“生活方式膨胀”。你最好确保定期增加储蓄金额。一个有效的方法是设置自动转账到一个单独的储蓄账户)”可知，本段核心是批判收入提高就提升生活档次的“生活方式膨胀”，建议增加储蓄，B项“随着收入增长，控制支出”，精准概括本段主旨，适合作为小标题。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Some people invest in what’s trendy right now, like shares of individual stocks (股票). When you pick stocks, you are trying to predict the future. As a matter of fact, some of those guesses end up being right.(有些人会投资当下热门的项目，比如个别股票。当你选择股票时，你就是在试图预测未来。实际上，其中一些预测最终是正确的)”以及后文“Try to use a percentage rule. Invest 80% of your money in tried-and-true investments, and the other 20% of your money can go into things that are hot and cool.(尽量采用一个百分比法则。将你资金的80%投资于经过验证且可靠的投资项目，而另外20%的资金则可以投入到那些热门和新兴的投资项目中)”可知，前文提到有人跟风投资个股，部分预测是对的，E项“但为什么要把整个财富积累策略都交给运气呢？”，转折指出盲目跟风投资的弊端，引出后文合理的投资比例建议。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Living with trees for years makes them part of you.

Ms. Katie, George’s favorite teacher, patiently teaches him various painting techniques and offers inspiring encouragement when he encounters difficulties. In this classroom, students are allowed to freely express their creativity. The art studio, carefully decorated by Ms. Katie, is filled with an artistic atmosphere. On the bookshelf in the classroom, there lies a valuable treasure — a painting titled “Sunflowers”. Ms. Katie often shares the story behind this artwork. It is a precious gift created through the joint efforts of her first graduating class. The frame (画框) is decorated with names of students pursuing their artistic dreams, including some who have become famous artists. Ms. Katie treasures this painting deeply, carefully wiping (擦拭) the surface every day to ensure it remains in its best condition. This passion and respect for art have deeply inspired George and other students, making him cherish every moment spent in art classes even more. On Thursday afternoon, George was practicing painting alone in the classroom. He carefully held various colored paints and brushes in his arms, with his eyes filled with focus and expectations that he planned to create a wonderful artwork. Just as he was fully involved in his artistic world, an unexpected accident happened. He accidentally tripped over (绊倒) a chair in the classroom, losing his balance instantly. As he fell, the paints in his hands spilled all over the floor. To make matters worse, the paints landed on his beautiful “Sunflowers” painting, leaving several obvious spots. The sudden incident sent George into a panic, his eyes filled with tears as he nearly burst out crying. In the mess, a quick thought crossed his mind — to quickly hide the spotted painting in the storage box, perhaps Ms. Katie wouldn’t realize he was the one who messed the painting. But this thought was short-lived, because the image of Ms. Katie’s sad face in his mind made his throat tight. Following a great struggle, he remained upset, unsure what to do. Feeling deeply lost, he finally made his decision. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, he dragged his heavy feet to Ms. Katie’s office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Perhaps we can transform those spots into tiny bees on sunflowers!” Ms. Katie answered with a smile. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 After school, he dragged his heavy feet to Ms. Katie’s office. His hands trembled slightly, and he lowered his head, too ashamed to meet her eyes. With a choked voice, he poured out the whole accident, admitting he had ruined her beloved Sunflowers painting. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he apologized repeatedly, ready to face any punishment. Instead of anger, Ms. Katie gently patted his shoulder, her eyes full of understanding and warmth. She told him that honesty was far more precious than any perfect painting, and asked him to bring the painting to her the next day. “Perhaps we can transform those spots into tiny bees on sunflowers!” Ms. Katie answered with a smile. She handed George fine brushes and paint, guiding him to turn the messy spots into lively, buzzing bees. Under her patient instruction, George carefully painted, his panic fading away. The once-flawed painting now became more vivid, with bees dancing among golden sunflowers. Ms. Katie praised his creativity, hanging the renewed work back in its place. That day, George learned not only an artistic trick, but also that honesty and creativity can turn mistakes into beautiful surprises. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了乔治非常喜欢每周四和凯蒂老师一起上的美术课，凯蒂老师格外珍视一幅由首届毕业生共同创作的《向日葵》画作。乔治独自练习时，不慎将颜料洒在这幅画上，一番挣扎后，他没有选择隐瞒，而是主动向老师坦白。凯蒂老师没有责怪他，反而引导他把污渍改成向日葵上的蜜蜂，让画作更具生机。乔治由此懂得了诚实的可贵，也明白错误可以化作美好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学后，他拖着沉重的脚步来到凯蒂女士的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写乔治独自练习时，不慎将颜料洒在这幅画上，一番挣扎后，他没有选择隐瞒，而是主动向老师坦白。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘或许我们可以把这些斑点变成向日葵上小小的蜜蜂！’凯蒂女士微笑着回答道”可知，第二段可描写凯蒂老师没有责怪他，反而引导他把污渍改成向日葵上的蜜蜂，让画作更具生机。乔治由此懂得了诚实的可贵，也明白错误可以化作美好。 2.续写线索：乔治选择坦白——乔治道歉——凯蒂表示理解——提议补救措施——画作更具生机——乔治感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：tremble/shake ②承认：admit/acknowledge/confess ③道歉：apologize/make an apology to 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②宝贵的：precious/valuable 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tears rolled down his cheeks as he apologized repeatedly, ready to face any punishment.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] That day, George learned not only an artistic trick, but also that honesty and creativity can turn mistakes into beautiful surprises.（运用了not only... but also...句型、that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第一学期学科素养练习 高二年级英语 （本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 考试开始前，请用黑色签字笔将答题卡上的姓名，班级，考号填写清楚，并在相应位置粘贴条形码。 2. 所有题目答案均写在答题卡上，填写在试卷、草稿纸上无效。 3. 选择题、判断题用2B铅笔涂黑，其他试题用黑色签字笔或黑色墨水笔答题；在规定区域以外的答题不给分。 4. 考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B In dozens of examination rooms, 88-year-old Feng Yinan stood out among young examinees. She started self-study exams at 72 and spent 16 years finishing 97 exams. So far, she has obtained three undergraduate degrees from famous universities in Jiangsu Province. Feng’s connection with self-study exams dates back over 30 years. During the early days of China’s reform and opening-up the self-study examination system calling for self-learning grew Feeling the call of the times and quite lacking in knowledge, Feng prepared to face the mental challenge and applied for a self-study examination. However, she had to put her studies on hold due to a busy daily life. As a mother of two daughters, her busy work and family life consumed all her time, and her dream of advancement could only remain a seed in her mind. After retiring, with a peaceful life, she determined to get self-study certificates (证书). But studying was not easy for Feng. As she grew older, her physical abilities declined, and the updating of knowledge also brought her difficulties. However, she was strict with herself and cut off almost all events for fun. Unwilling to put off her daily study, she always ignored physical pain to persist in her studies. Even after recovering from a stroke (中风), she went back to study as soon as possible. When encountering words she couldn’t understand, she not only looked up explanations in dictionaries but also called her grandchildren to ask for guidance. In 16 years, she passed 44 subjects through unwavering determination. Recently, Feng received her graduation certificate and was praised by the university and education authority. Although she stops taking self-study exams due to health problems, she still keeps learning, such as playing the piano. She hopes that her experience of pursuing self-study exams at an advanced age will inspire more young people to cultivate a lifelong habit of learning. 4. What put off Feng Yinan’s dream when she was young? A. The mental challenge. B. The busy schedule. C. The call of the times. D. The lack of knowledge. 5. What did Feng Yinan do to get self-study certificates? A. She ignored her health. B. She sought her school’s guidance. C. She memorized new words. D. She gave up some entertainments. 6. Which of the following best describe Feng Yinan? A. Determined and inspiring. B. Creative and independent. C. Encouraging and energetic. D. Hardworking and considerate. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. A Unique Self-study Exam experience B. An Unusual Lifelong Self-study Journey C. A Pioneer in Reforming Self-study Examination D. An Example of Obtaining Self-study Certificates C In the 21st century, digital technology, especially generative AI, has reshaped our daily lives greatly. The shift from traditional to digital technology started in the 1960s, and people who lived through this historical change are now entering their 80s. A new study explores what we can learn from them about technology’s impact on the aging brain. German scientist Manfred Spitzer put forward the “digital dementia” theory in 2012, claiming that over-reliance on digital devices weakens cognitive abilities. This is linked to passive screen time, handing over thinking tasks to technology (like not memorizing phone numbers), and increased daily distraction. However, a meta-analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour challenges this idea. Led by neuropsychologists Jared Benge and Michael Scullin, the study combined data from 57 research projects involving over 411,000 adults aged 50 and above. It found no evidence for “digital dementia” — instead, more frequent technology use was linked to a 58% lower risk of cognitive decline. This significant benefit remained even after accounting for key factors like socioeconomic status and health conditions. Notably, technology’s protective effect is similar to or stronger than physical activity (35% risk reduction) and healthy blood pressure (13% risk reduction). Though more research is needed — especially on low- and middle-income country groups — the findings suggest technology use may actively promote the brain, like reading or learning a new language. Adapting to updates or devices could build “technological reserve” and help older adults stay connected and independent. In today’s fast-paced digital world, avoiding technology is impractical. Instead of worrying about its harms, we should focus on how to use it wisely. While AI’s long-term impact on aging brains is unknown, our ability to adapt to past technological changes offers reason for optimism. 8. Why does the author mention “digital dementia” theory in paragraph 2? A. To clarify a concept. B. To challenge a theory. C. To lead in a new study. D. To support an opinion. 9. What is the main finding of the study led by Jared Benge and Michael Scullin? A. Technology overuse causes brain disorders. B. Technology use lowers cognitive decline risk. C. Exercise proves more effective than technology. D. Mental abilities are impacted by health conditions. 10. What is the author’s attitude towards the long-term impact of AI on aging brains? A. Positive. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. AI updates can boost the function of aging brains. B. Technology use matters more than physical activities. C. Benge and Scullin’s study ignored age differences in the elderly. D. Current research may need more data from low-income groups. D On winter evenings in Europe and North America, thousands of starlings (椋鸟) gather an hour before sunset to perform dazzling air shows. They move as one — surging, waving, and wheeling like a single shape-shifting creature — before settling in nighttime habitats. How these birds cooperate so tightly has puzzled researchers for over a century. In 1931, biologist Edmund Selous suggested the “murmuration” (群飞) came from telepathy (心灵感应), arguing that the birds “think collectively, and all act at the same time”. Also, computer models showed their simple rules could create synchronized group movement. A breakthrough came in 2005, when physicists Andrea Cavagna and Irene Giardina’s team spent three years photographing Rome’s murmurations with cameras, reconstructing 3D positions of over 4,000 birds. Their finding is shocking — each starling only interacts with seven nearby neighbors. Following three simple rules — fly in the same direction, stay close, but not too close — these interactions create the complex display. Dutch researcher Charlotte Hemelrijk confirmed this with a computer model that matched the Rome data, proving no leader or telepathy is needed. Surprisingly, the flock has “scale-free correlations” (无标度相关性): a bird’s turn spreads across the group, totally correct, like a perfect game of telephone. Each starling’s senses effectively cover the whole flock, letting it respond to distant events. Today, researchers use tools like a bird-shaped robot to study avoidant strategies, and cameras to track flocks. But starling numbers are dropping — British populations halved in 60 years. Europe and North America have lost billions of birds due to habitat loss and human activity. Starlings have taught us that Earth’s most beautiful phenomena, like murmurations, need species to thrive in large numbers. As photographer Søren Solkær says, witnessing a murmuration reflects our deep bond with nature. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By describing a scene. B. By giving an example. C.

Treat loans as a costly responsibility. If you need money, your instinct might be to borrow from a lender. Lenders charge interest to make a profit, and those interest rates are so high that the amount you’re paying back is significantly more than the amount you borrow. ____17____ Avoid guaranteeing someone else’s debt. ____18____ Acting as a loan guarantor makes you fully responsible for their debt if they fail to make payments. This commitment can damage your credit, leading to higher costs or denial of future loans. You can offer other forms of support. For example, helping them review their credit report. ____19____ Some people who earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year find themselves living paycheck to paycheck. That can happen when people think a higher income means they have to live a lifestyle that matches it. This is called “lifestyle inflation (膨胀)”. You’d better make sure to increase the amount you save regularly. A helpful method is to set up automatic transfers to a separate savings account. Build stable investments. Some people invest in what’s trendy right now, like shares of individual stocks (股票). When you pick stocks, you are trying to predict the future. As a matter of fact, some of those guesses end up being right. ____20____ Try to use a percentage rule. Invest 80% of your money in tried-and-true investments, and the other 20% of your money can go into things that are hot and cool. With these approaches, at least a majority of your money isn’t going to be completely risked. A. It can trap you in a cycle of debt. B. Control spending as your income grows. C This is a key step to avoid financial stress. D. Put your money in a high-interest savings account. E. But why leave your entire wealth-building strategy to chance? F. If your friend asks you to share a loan, it’s generally safer to decline. G. However, many people make poor choices without good financial advice. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Living with trees for years makes them part of you.

Ms. Katie, George’s favorite teacher, patiently teaches him various painting techniques and offers inspiring encouragement when he encounters difficulties. In this classroom, students are allowed to freely express their creativity. The art studio, carefully decorated by Ms. Katie, is filled with an artistic atmosphere. On the bookshelf in the classroom, there lies a valuable treasure — a painting titled “Sunflowers”. Ms. Katie often shares the story behind this artwork. It is a precious gift created through the joint efforts of her first graduating class. The frame (画框) is decorated with names of students pursuing their artistic dreams, including some who have become famous artists. Ms. Katie treasures this painting deeply, carefully wiping (擦拭) the surface every day to ensure it remains in its best condition. This passion and respect for art have deeply inspired George and other students, making him cherish every moment spent in art classes even more. On Thursday afternoon, George was practicing painting alone in the classroom. He carefully held various colored paints and brushes in his arms, with his eyes filled with focus and expectations that he planned to create a wonderful artwork. Just as he was fully involved in his artistic world, an unexpected accident happened. He accidentally tripped over (绊倒) a chair in the classroom, losing his balance instantly. As he fell, the paints in his hands spilled all over the floor. To make matters worse, the paints landed on his beautiful “Sunflowers” painting, leaving several obvious spots. The sudden incident sent George into a panic, his eyes filled with tears as he nearly burst out crying. In the mess, a quick thought crossed his mind — to quickly hide the spotted painting in the storage box, perhaps Ms. Katie wouldn’t realize he was the one who messed the painting. But this thought was short-lived, because the image of Ms. Katie’s sad face in his mind made his throat tight. Following a great struggle, he remained upset, unsure what to do. Feeling deeply lost, he finally made his decision. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school he dragged his heavy feet to Ms. Katie’s office. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Perhaps we can transform those spots into tiny bees on sunflowers!” Ms. Katie answered with a smile. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
