In 2025, these chosen words are quite special. They cover topics like AI and popular but meaningless online content. Here are some 2025 Words of the Year from different dictionaries. · Oxford word of the year: Rage bait If you’ve spent the year being fooled into feeling angry by a headline, video, or image that is designed on purpose to ruin your mood, congratulations — you’ve been rage baited. Oxford’s pick reflects the rise of content designed to annoy or divide people. In other words: the Internet’s favourite thing. · Macquarie Dictionary word of the year: AI slop Slightly more abstract, but still perfect-fitting, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary chose a term that only could have been created in 2025. “AI slop” describes generative-AI output that feels lazy, empty, or just wrong. If you clicked on that video of cats dancing, you’ve been a victim of AI slop. · Cambridge Dictionary word of the year: Parasocial Cambridge went with a word that’s been slowly building up for years: “parasocial.” Originally an academic term, it now broadly describes the one-sided relationships we form with creators, celebrities, and influencers. It’s the perfect description for an era where you know your favourite YouTuber’s morning routine, or the personal details of a TikToker’s breakup, but they don’t know you exist. · Dictionary. com word of the year: 67 Honestly, we still don’t know what this means, but Dictionary. com did something different this year with “67,” a number that took on new meaning in 2025. While its specific meaning is context-dependent — originally coming from TikTok — this choice shows that language has developed far beyond just letters. 1. Which of the following is an example of “rage bait”? A. A video of cute cats dancing online. B. A headline designed to make readers angry. C. An AI-written story with no real meaning. D. A number that becomes popular on TikTok. 2. Which Word of the Year has an uncertain but context-based meaning? A. Rage bait B. AI slop C. Parasocial D. 67 3. What is unusual about the 2025 Words of the Year? A. They focus on traditional culture. B. They are all from daily communication. C. They connect with AI and online content. D. They are created by major dictionaries. B It’s not quite often when we see architects devoted to creating buildings as more than art, expression, or technological creation. Shigeru Ban is one of the most clever architects (建筑师) who knows how to recognize pressing problems and come up with the best solutions for them. Shigeru Ban is a Japanese architect born in Tokyo in 1957, he founded Shigeru Ban Architects in 1985 and has since then proliferated branches from Tokyo to New York and Paris. His career has spanned over various architectural fields from commercial spaces to museums, but his disaster relief (救灾) work shines the most. He set a new standard for socially-aware and emergent (紧急的) architecture and paved the way for teaching the whole world how building skills can help in times of crises. His unique method earned him the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2014, where he was honored for his devotion to designing shelters for disaster-stricken areas (灾区). He is highly praised for showing how architecture can be a tool for positive social change, particularly in his attention to using materials and attending to social needs. In a 2017 interview, Shigeru Ban was asked about what guided him towards being involved with disaster relief architecture. His replies detailed that there seemed to be a lack of social responsibility among architects in Japan regarding this matter, so he felt the desire to take action. After the Kobe earthquake in 1995, Ban saw the poor living conditions related to evacuation (撤离) centers and wanted to make a change with architecture. Following this event, he established the Voluntary Architects’ Network (VAN) to provide support to disaster-affected areas worldwide. When asked whether his initiatives were inspired by Japan’s continuous risk for earthquakes and volcano eruptions, he explained that his motivation (动力) comes from an urge to improve living conditions for disaster victims rather than Japan’s geographic risks. He’s a man with a skill for identifying problems and finding solutions. 4. What does the underlined word “proliferated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Organized. B. Strengthened. C. Expanded. D. Tracked. 5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The new standard Ban set for architecture. B. The achievements of Ban’s disaster relief work. C. The creative use of materials in Ban’s design. D. The reasons Ban designed shelters for the homeless. 6. What was Ban’s drive for disaster relief work? A. His skills in dealing with natural disaster. B. His terrible suffering in a natural disaster. C. His longing to enhance the lives of those in need. D. His concern about Japan’s geographic risks. 7. Which of the following can best describe Shigeru Ban? A. Responsible but impolite. B. Caring and creative. C. Selfless but carefree. D. Talented and outgoing. C Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means. Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spikes (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spikes than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach. Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal’s teeth. Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger that sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine, the higher levels of which ultimately (最终) discourage the caterpillar. Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future. 8. The holly plant has more spikes on the lower leaves because most animals ______. A. can get the lower leaves easily B. are not tall enough C. are not clever enough D. like the lower leaves only 9. To defend themselves, oak trees use ______ A. chemical means B. bitter chemicals C. physical means D. sandy materials 10. How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar? A. Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked. B. Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means. C. Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar. D. Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away. 11. How does the author explain the ways plants defend themselves? A. By listing numbers. B. By asking questions. C. By telling stories. D. By giving examples. D Move over protein, there’s a new hot nutrient-fiber (纤维)! The social media trend of fibermaxxing focuses on eating more fiber at meals and snacks. Like all trends, it can be done correctly. Yet many on social media are doing it incorrectly — and even dangerously. The idea of fibermaxxing is to meet and even go beyond your daily fiber goals. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, women should aim for about 25 grams of fiber per day, while men should aim for about 38 grams. To calculate more exact numbers, the recommendation is 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. Americans consume on average only 15 grams of fiber per day, so upping fiber is certainly a smart idea. As many people think more is better, some influencers are going all out on fibermaxxing with not only foods like vegetables, fruit, beans, peas, nuts and seeds at meals and snacks, but also by adding various fiber supplements (补充剂), which gets them above the recommended daily fiber amount. “Like so many TikTok trends, this one has the potential for harm if not approached properly,” says dietitian Rosanne Rust, co-author of the forthcoming cookbook “The GLP-1Kitchen”. Rust explains that many of the trending videos propose “fibermaxxing” to help treat bloating (腹胀), however most people aren’t aware of how much fiber they are eating before they adopt this trend and then add 20 grams of fiber (or more) to their diet overnight. According to dietitian Liz Weiss, founder of Liz’s Healthy Table, balance matters. “People with certain medical conditions often need to limit their fiber intake,” says Weiss. This is because high amounts of fiber can be difficult for their systems to manage and may worsen symptoms. “If you’re not sure how much fiber is right for you, a registered dietitian nutritionist can help guide you,” says Weiss. “Trends may come and go, but a well-balanced, whole-food diet will always stand the test of time.” 12. What can we learn from the figures in paragraph 2? A. Americans are falling short on fiber intake. B. Males have done better in fiber consumption. C. The more fiber we have, the better our health is. D. Average Americans consume fiber as recommended. 13. What is the problem with fibermaxxing according to Rust? A. It spreads fast on social media. B. People overdo it unknowingly. C. Americans lack fiber because of it. D. Influencers lie about its benefits. 14. What is Weiss’s suggestion for people about a balanced diet? A. To follow the latest trend. B. To register as a nutritionist. C. To seek advice from experts. D. To replace fiber with whole food. 15. What can be a suitable best title for the text? A. Fiber: The Hidden Threat to Wellbeing B. Fiber: The Vital Nutrient for Your Health C. Fibermaxxing: The Latest Nutrition Trend D. Fibermaxxing: The Best Dietary Approach 第二节 (共5个小题，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。 Strategies to boost your memory Forgetting things is a common experience, but it can make life difficult. From losing your keys to preparing for an exam, a strong memory is a valuable advantage in daily life and study. While it is normal for our brains to forget, we can train them to boost your memory. ____16____ Making new information meaningful is a powerful method. Our brains seem designed to remember things that are personally relevant. Therefore, connect new details to what you already know or to your own experiences. For example, if you are learning a new English word, use it in a sentence that describes your own life. ____17____ Another proven method is to space out your study sessions (时段). Instead of studying everything at once, reviewing material at different times is far more effective. ____18____ Moreover, doing this helps the memory become less tied to a single context, making it easier to recall whenever you need it. A surprisingly simple way is reading important information out loud. Research shows this action helps you remember things better than reading silently. ____19____ This creates a stronger memory, making the information easier to recall later. ____20____ To make a moment more memorable, pay close attention to the unique sights and sounds around you. For example, when you put down your keys, notice the surface they are on and the sound they make. These details create a richer memory in your brain. That makes the moment stand out from many others. A. It is important to review material many times. B. Here are some practical ways you can try. C. It is better to connect it to your own life. D. Engaging your senses also plays a key role in forming strong memories. E. This practice helps the information to stick because it creates a personal link. F. This approach allows your brain to process and store information for a long time. G. When you speak the words, more areas of your brain work, including those for speech and hearing. 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 “Last Wednesday, as we were diving into life’s deeper questions in class, one of my students, Bill, put his hand up”. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____21____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the answer through experience rather than simply ____22____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____23____.

Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily excited to see each other again after the long holidays. When the door slid open, all of us stopped talking and turned to look. In came our teacher Ms. Sullivan, followed by an ordinary-looking boy, “This boy’s name is Rafael.” Ms. Sullivan announced. “He’s a transfer student (转校生), and he’s going to be in our class starting from today. Make sure all of you welcome him warmly.” The class clapped. But I didn't want to have a second look at the newcomer, for he had no outstanding qualities considering his small figure and casual T-shirt. “Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.” Ms. Sullivan spoke up. “Rafael actually has hearing problems. Normally he would have hearing aids on, but his old ones have just been broken. His doctor suggested that he stay at home until he got his new ones. However, Rafael insisted on attending his first day of school. So if you want to communicate with him, you have to write it on a piece of paper.” This single speech sent the whole class up into an uproar (嘈杂). Some students looked at each other with expressions of surprise. Others voiced cries of concern out of pity. Ms. Sullivan calmed everyone down. “I’d like someone to personally help him out throughout the day. Do I have any volunteers?” “How can a disabled person be intelligent?” I thought to myself. I refused to raise my hand, expecting someone else would. But nobody did or said anything. Dead silence spread across the classroom. It was by total bad luck that my eyes happened to meet Ms. Sullivan's. “How about you, James?” She asked me. “Is it okay for you to take care of Rafael just for today?” It is difficult to refuse a request by someone, especially if that person is a teacher. I sighed and nodded slightly. Ms. Sullivan gestured for Rafael to sit beside me and then asked us to share our holiday stories with the class. Paragraph 1: Immediately, the class became excited. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 衡阳市一中2025年下学期高一期末考试 英语试题 第一部分 听力 (共两节；每小题1.5分，共30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

I’d like to recommend Hi, Mom to you. It’s a heartwarming comedy which focuses on the deep mother-daughter bond. The story mixes humor and sincere emotions perfectly, making you laugh and cry at the same time. Besides, it vividly shows ordinary Chinese life in the 1980s, offering you a great chance to learn about Chinese culture. Different from the fantasy or sci-fi movies you’ve watched, it’s full of down-to-earth warmth. Hope you’ll enjoy it and share your thoughts with me soon! Best wishes, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】Paragraph 1: Immediately, the class became excited. Some could hardly wait to tell their seatmates about their holiday trips, eyes shining and faces glowing with joy. Those who hadn’t been anywhere bombarded them with inquiring questions. Enormous joy welled up in every corner of the classroom. Obviously confused at the sudden noisy situation, Rafael turned to me for reasons in written words. Surprisingly, my explanation put a smile on his face. “Any volunteer to share your story?” asked Ms. Sullivan, whose words I set down on paper for Rafael. Paragraph 2: Then Rafael rose and walked onto the platform. Greeting us with a confident smile, Rafael shared his story in a magnetic voice, which left me stunned. I felt more ashamed to learn that he ran a website to help children with hearing problems than guilty about stupidly thinking disabled people couldn’t be intelligent. Then his voice was lost in a thunderous outburst of applause. Feeling a lump in the throat, I clapped my hands even more loudly, determined never to judge a book by its cover. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
