11. Why does the man describe Hanfu as meaningful?
A. It’s popular for weddings.
B. It makes history feel closer.
C. It’s comfortable to wear every day.
12. What does the woman suggest is special about music?
A. It tells stories about performers.
B. It makes an impression without words.
C. It depends on language understanding.
13. Which belief do the speakers share?
A. Some traditions are no longer useful.
B. All traditions should be taught in school.
C. Traditions connect with people differently.
【答案】11. B 12. B 13. C
【解析】
【原文】W: Which do you think is most meaningful: Hanfu, classical Chinese music, or ancient poetry?
M: Hmm, that’s a difficult question. I think Hanfu is amazing. Just wearing it feels like stepping into the past. The style is so different from modern clothes. We all wore it to my sister’s wedding.
W: Yeah, it’s beautiful and comfortable to wear. And it’s not just clothing, it shows the fashion from ancient dynasties. But I still think classical music connects us more. There are some very famous performers too. You don’t have to understand the language to feel something.
M: True. When someone plays instruments like the guzheng, it really makes you stop to listen. But also, poetry is magical. Some of those old lines say a lot in just a few words.
W: I know what you mean. So I guess Hanfu shows tradition through fashion, music through sound, and poetry through writing. I think they are all studied in schools now.
M: Right, that makes sense. They are all ways of keeping culture alive.
W: Yeah, they remind us where we come from and what matters.

C. He’s worried about potential problems.
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. A
【解析】
【原文】M: I didn’t expect to see you here, Miss Smith. I thought you were busy running that team-building event this weekend.
W: I was, and it went really well. We had a stress relief session using pets.
M: I’ve heard of it. It’s the use of an animal to provide comfort to people with health problems, right?
W: Yes. We brought in trained therapy dogs during the team-building event to help with stress relief. Employees could spend time with them in special areas.
M: That sounds wonderful. But wasn’t there a risk that some people would find the dogs too noisy?
W: At first, some were unsure, especially those who don’t usually spend time with pets. I guess they were maybe a little bit afraid of the dogs but didn’t actually say that. However, once they saw how calm and relaxed the dogs made everyone feel, they were more open to it. Some employees even mentioned how much more comfortable they felt during group activities.
M: I never thought about how much of a positive impact pet comfort could have.
W: It’s incredible. Animals help people feel more at ease and connected, which really improves teamwork and communication.
M: Well, you never say never. Now that we’ve spoken, I wouldn’t rule out doing something similar.
听下面一段独白,回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频,请去附件查看】
17. What changed the speaker’s view on effort?
A. Practicing harder every day.
B. Failing language exams.
C. Learning a new theory.
18. What’s the reason some schools focus on effort?
A. To improve students’ results.
B. To encourage smarter strategies.
C. To teach students about fixed talent.
19. What concerns researchers about the growth mindset?
A. It can be misunderstood as a complete solution.
B. It encourages students to work alone.
C. It makes people afraid to take risks.
20. Why does the speaker talk about his son?
A. To prove the importance of learning languages.
B. To show the effect of the growth mindset.
C. To explain how to improve exam grades.
【答案】17. C 18. A 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】 I used to think talent was everything. If you were naturally good at something, you’d succeed; if not, you wouldn’t. I thought I wasn’t good at languages, so I could never get better. Then I learned about the growth mindset, and it changed my mind. The theory comes from psychologist Carol Dweck. She says people with a growth mindset believe they can improve through practice, while those with a fixed mindset think talent is fixed. Some schools now encourage students to focus on effort and improvement, believing that a growth mindset eventually leads to better results. And in sports or business, the same idea applies. You can learn from failure, keep going, and your brain grows through challenges. But not everyone agrees. Some researchers say the idea is too simple. If someone lacks support or resources, effort alone might not be enough. Others argue that praising effort too much could make people ignore smart strategies. Still, I’ve seen it work. When my son stopped saying “I can’t learn languages” and started saying “I can’t do verbs yet, but I will improve,” things changed. He ended up doing much better in those important exams. After all, the mind, like a muscle, grows with use, but only if you believe it can.

Deema Assaf walked slowly through Birgish, one of only a few forests in Jordan, careful not to step on one of the delicate wild orchids. “We once had thick forests,” she said. “There were elephants, rhinos and the Asiatic lion, animals which used to live together with people here.” She looked up at the top of an old oak tree and said, “Discovering that made me see the landscape from a different perspective. It is fascinating to see the potential if human intervention were not affecting ecosystem negatively.”
Assaf is an architect and urban forester. After working as a full-time architect for more than ten years, Assaf left her job to look for something more meaningful. She was inspired by a video about a 2,000-year-old forest in Morocco. In the film, she saw a man-made forest in a dry country, with a high ceiling of foliage and walls of fruit trees. She decided that this was what she wanted to do in her native Jordan.
Her research led her to the Miyawaki method, which creates highly biodiverse, multi-layered native forests ten times faster than nature itself does. Her approach goes beyond planting individual trees. It is about establishing a complex and dynamic plant “community”, reconnecting native species that co-evolved together for thousands of years.
Jordan is one of the driest countries in the world, with 75 percent desert and little rainfall. Despite the challenge, Assaf believes it is crucial to act. “It is not drought that causes bare ground, it is bare ground that causes drought,” Assaf said. She claims that “the more we work on greening, the more we give nature the ability to restore itself.”
Assaf started small. Her first site was only 107 square meters. She has gradually built a database for native forest creation in Jordan. So far, she has planted four forests with more than 2,700 native plant seedlings. She also collects seeds for others, including those of endangered species in Jordan.
Assaf always emphasizes it is important to have people participate in growing forests. She often works in collaboration with schools, universities, cities, and companies. “I see it as a kind of citizen-led species recovery intervention, doing what we believe is right and being part of the solution,” Assaf explains.
24. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The old oak tree. B. The preservation of forests.
C. The effects of human intervention. D. The co-existence between man and wildlife.
25. What did the video motivate Assaf to do?
A. Rejuvenate local ecology. B. Quit her job as an architect.
C. Facilitate landscape connectivity. D. Monitor biodiversity conservation.
26. What does Assaf highlight in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of greening. B. The causes of desertification.
C. The urgency to conserve nature. D. The difficulty in fighting drought.
27. What does Assaf think is crucial to her mission?
A. Site selection. B. Database creation.
C. Business expansion. D. Community engagement.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. A 27. D
【解析】

【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“She was inspired by a video about a 2,000-year-old forest in Morocco. In the film, she saw a man-made forest in a dry country, with a high ceiling of foliage and walls of fruit trees. She decided that this was what she wanted to do in her native Jordan.(她受到了一段有关摩洛哥一座拥有2000年历史的森林的视频的启发。在视频中,她看到了一个在干旱地区人工营造的森林,有着高高的树冠层和由果树构成的围墙。她决定,这就是她想在自己的祖国约旦所要做的事情)”可知,这段视频促使阿萨夫重振当地生态环境。故选A。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Jordan is one of the driest countries in the world, with 75 percent desert and little rainfall. Despite the challenge, Assaf believes it is crucial to act. “It is not drought that causes bare ground, it is bare ground that causes drought,” Assaf said. She claims that “the more we work on greening, the more we give nature the ability to restore itself.”(约旦是世界上最干旱的国家之一,75%的面积为沙漠,降雨量极少。尽管面临重重挑战,阿萨夫仍坚信采取行动至关重要。她表示:“并非干旱导致土地裸露,而是裸露的土地才引发了干旱。”她还声称:“我们越是致力于绿化工作,就越能赋予大自然恢复自身的能力。”)”可知,阿萨夫在第4段中强调了绿化的意义。故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Assaf always emphasizes it is important to have people participate in growing forests.(阿萨夫总是强调,让民众参与到森林的营造过程中来是非常重要的)”可知,阿萨夫认为对她而言,完成使命的关键因素是社区参与。故选D。
C
As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言), filled with abbreviations like “hru?”(how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations?
A. They make senders seem insincere.
B. They have evolved over a long time.
C. They reshape digital communication.
D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations?
A. They could become trendy.
B. They would not bother others.
C. They could ruin communication.
D. They would damage social connections.
30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ______.
A. the evolution of language
B. a lower effort from the sender
C. an improved conversational quality
D. the preference for a shorter conversation
31. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations?
A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学方大卫及其团队关于短信缩写在人际交流中影响的研究发现,揭示了其可能导致沟通效率降低、给他人留下负面印象,并强调缩写的使用需依具体情境而定。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?” (尽管几乎所有发短信的人都使用这些快捷方式,但研究结果表明,匆忙发出一个快速的“hru?”可能不如花时间完整拼写出“How are you?”显得真诚)”可知,研究结果表明,使用短信缩写会让发送者显得不够真诚。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. (虽然99%的人使用缩写,84%的人认为别人不介意,但研究表明,缩写信息总是会给人留下负面印象)”可知,短信发送者通常认为使用缩写不会给他人带来困扰。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Fang的话“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness.(我们的研究表明,短信缩写通过减少感知努力对人际交往产生负面影响,从而导致感知诚意和响应性降低)”可知,Fang的研究揭示,使用缩写会被认为是发送者付出较低的努力。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. (但他并不认为人们应该完全停止使用缩写)”和倒数第一段Fang的话“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver (我们通常会根据关系的重要性来调整我们在对话中付出的努力。在某些情况下,付出较少的努力是合理的,比如与送货司机快速发短信)”可推知,方大卫认为是否使用缩写取决于具体情境和关系。故选C项。
D
Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles (类似) Doctor Who. And if you ask OpenAI’s technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI chiefs face as their era-defining technology becomes ever more widespread in our lives.
Google and OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence is supposed to be just that — generative, meaning it develops novel answers to our questions. But how much of that output is original? The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions. One firm, however, claims to be able to shine a light on the issue.
TraceID by Vermillio can detect the percentage to which AI-generated content is based on copyrighted materials. One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints for brands, characters or other IP. These fingerprints act as digital identifiers that map the unique characteristics of a given piece of content. By comparing this fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original, offering a percentage-based match.
The research showcases this process in action, using well-known films such as Doctor Who and James Bond as case studies. The findings? Sora matched up to 62% with James Bond fingerprint, Google’s Veo 3 matched 80% to Doctor Who fingerprint, implying that they have leaned heavily on copyright-protected work to produce its output.
Many creative professionals demand compensation and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that undercut their industries.
Kathleen Grace, head of Vermillio, said: “We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content. This would encourage copyright holders to release more data to AI companies and would give AI companies access to more interesting sets of data. Instead of giving all the money to AI companies, there would be this amazing ecosystem.”
32. What issue is presented at the beginning of the passage?
A. Generative AI reinvents film production.
B. The capabilities of generative AI are expanding.
C. Generative AI is becoming increasingly widespread.
D. Copyrighted materials are used in AI-generated content.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Who uses TraceID. B. How TraceID works.
C. Why Trace ID is developed. D. Where TraceID is used.
34. What does the underline word “remuneration” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Delay. B. Pay. C. Effort. D. Warning.
35. What message does Kathleen Grace want to convey?
A. Limiting data hurts scientific progress.
B. Copyright holders should release more data.
C. A fair data-sharing ecosystem benefits all.
D. AI firms must disclose copyrighted content use.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. B 35. C
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles (类似) Doctor Who. And if you ask OpenAI’s technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI chiefs face as their era-defining technology becomes ever more widespread in our lives.(让谷歌的人工智能视频工具创作一部关于一位乘坐蓝色英国电话亭穿梭时空的医生的电影,结果不出所料,和《神秘博士》十分相似。如果让OpenAI的技术做同样的事,也会出现类似的情况。你可能会想:这有什么问题呢?答案或许就是,随着这项定义时代的技术在我们的生活中愈发普及,人工智能行业高管们面临的一大难题)”以及第二段中“The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions.(问题在于,像Sora 2和Veo 3这样的AI工具在进行创作时,有多依赖他人的作品)”可知,文章开头提出的问题是生成式AI在创作中使用了版权素材。故选D项。

By comparing this fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original, offering a percentage-based match.(Vermillio公司的TraceID能够检测出AI生成内容基于版权素材的比例。该平台的一项功能是为品牌、角色或其他知识产权创建神经指纹。这些指纹作为数字标识符,记录某一特定内容的独特特征。通过将该指纹与AI生成内容进行比对,它可以确定新内容与原作的重合程度,并给出基于百分比的匹配结果)”可知,该段主要介绍了TraceID工具的工作原理,即TraceID是如何工作的。故选B项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Many creative professionals demand compensation and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that undercut their industries.(许多创意从业者要求获得赔偿,并要求在获得许可前停止未经授权使用他们的作品。他们认为,AI工具在没有remuneration的情况下以他们的作品为基础进行创作,生成具有竞争力的作品,削弱了他们所在的行业)”可知,remuneration与前文的compensation(赔偿、报酬)语义相近,结合语境,创意从业者认为AI使用他们的作品却没有给予相应报酬,由此猜测remuneration意为“报酬、付款”,与Pay含义一致。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Kathleen Grace, head of Vermillio, said: “We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content. This would encourage copyright holders to release more data to AI companies and would give AI companies access to more interesting sets of data. Instead of giving all the money to AI companies, there would be this amazing ecosystem.”(Vermillio公司的负责人凯瑟琳·格雷丝说:“如果我们稍作停顿,找到一种共享和追踪内容的方式,我们所有人都能共赢。这将鼓励版权所有者向AI公司开放更多数据,也能让AI公司获得更有趣的数据集。资金不会全部流入AI公司,而是会形成一个很棒的生态系统。”)”可知,凯瑟琳·格雷丝想传达的信息是公平的数据共享生态系统对所有人都有利。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sharing is an essential part of our daily lives. When you share your experiences with your peers, they are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their own. ____36____ If the thought of sharing your experiences holds you back because you believe that you don’t have big experiences to share, then, you should get over it right away because all experiences are equally valuable. Here are the tips to make your sharing experience more effective.
____37____ Make sure that you go into as much detail as possible. Try to picturise your experience for others so that they can just feel like you do. Share with them what you feel and why you feel that way. Start by sharing when you had the idea for what you are sharing. Then share what happened or what you thought. After that, share why it is important to you or why you think the way you do.
Explain the words. ____38____ Would you understand every word of your dialogue if you were from another community? If not, consider defining the jargon (术语). As an alternative to saying to your global peers, “I love Kathakali and you should definitely watch it someday.” Say something like: “I love Kathakali, which is a form of folk dance, in which the dancers present a drama wearing unique masks. You should watch it someday.”
Be fearless. While sharing an experience, you do not have to be embarrassed, afraid to open up. ____39____ For example, suppose you are discussing gender equality, and some of your peers support the idea that women can only work in certain professions, and you disagree with them. Then, instead of fearing what people would think if you said something unconventional, just say it.
Now that you have read my tips for sharing, go share your own experiences, ideas, and thoughts with the rest of the world. Remember that no experience is too big or too small. ____40____ Whatever you share would be unique and new to someone who has had different experiences or has different perspectives from you. So, continue to share.
A. Share the details.
B. Because it surely does!
C. Make sense of your experiences.
D. All experiences matter in their own way.
E. You have every right to be brave and frank out.
F. Think about this from another person’s perspective.
G. There are no restrictions on sharing what matters to you.
【答案】36. G 37. A 38. F 39. E 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍分享是日常生活的重要部分,所有经历都有价值,并给出让分享更有效的几条实用建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“When you share your experiences with your peers, they are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their own.(当你和同龄人分享你的经历时,他们更有可能安心地分享自己的经历)”以及下文“If the thought of sharing your experiences holds you back because you believe that you don’t have big experiences to share, then, you should get over it right away because all experiences are equally valuable.(如果你因为觉得自己没有重大经历可分享而犹豫不敢分享,那么你应该立刻克服这种想法,因为所有经历都是同样有价值的)”可知,此处应衔接经历无大小,分享无限制,G选项“There are no restrictions on sharing what matters to you.(分享对你重要的事情是没有限制的)”既承接上文分享的积极影响,又为下文强调经历的价值做铺垫,符合语境。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Make sure that you go into as much detail as possible. Try to picturise your experience for others so that they can just feel like you do.(确保你尽可能多地深入细节。试着为别人描绘你的经历,让他们能有和你一样的感受)”可知,该段核心是建议分享时注重细节,空处应是该段主旨句,A选项“Share the details.(分享细节)”直接点明段落核心,与下文的go into as much detail as possible完美呼应,符合语境。故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Explain the words.(解释清楚词汇)”以及下文“Would you understand every word of your dialogue if you were from another community? If not, consider defining the jargon (术语).(如果你来自另一个群体,你能理解你对话中的每一个词吗?如果不能,考虑定义这些术语)”可知,此处应建议从他人角度考虑词汇理解问题,F选项“Think about this from another person’s perspective.(从别人的角度考虑这个问题)”中的another person’s perspective与下文if you were from another community相呼应,符合语境。故选F项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Be fearless. While sharing an experience, you do not have to be embarrassed, afraid to open up.(要勇敢。分享经历时,你不必感到尴尬,不必害怕敞开心扉)”以及下文“Then, instead of fearing what people would think if you said something unconventional, just say it.(那么,不要害怕说一些非传统的话会被别人怎么看,尽管说出来)”可知,此处应强调勇敢坦率分享的权利,E选项“You have every right to be brave and frank out.(你完全有权利勇敢坦率地表达)”中的brave与上文Be fearless、下文instead of fearing相呼应,符合语境。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Remember that no experience is too big or too small.(记住,没有经历是太大或太小的)”以及下文“Whatever you share would be unique and new to someone who has had different experiences or has different perspectives from you.(无论你分享什么,对于那些有不同经历或不同观点的人来说,都是独特而新鲜的)”此处应衔接分享的意义,呼应下文“所有经历都是独特而新鲜的”,D选项“All experiences matter in their own way.(所有经历都有其自身的意义)”既呼应上文“无大小之分”,又为下文“分享皆独特”做铺垫,符合语境。故选D项。

The transition from sharing images to ____43____ memories for myself wasn’t immediate. It began with a simple ____44____: flipping (翻) through family photo albums. I was attracted by the images from my family’s ____45____. They weren’t polished, but they held stories that words often couldn’t ____46____ — of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits. In those photographs, I saw ____47____. I realized that every image was a piece of something ____48____: a history that had been passed down.
It was this ____49____ that led me to pick up my film camera. With just 36 exposures per roll, each photo required ____50____, a slowing down to see the world around me.

The ____51____ became part of the story. They weren’t meant for ____52____ or comments — they were meant for me, for family and friends.
There’s a sense of ____53____ when I finally open an envelope of developed prints. I’m ____54____ back to those moments. And in that sense, my ____55____ to film photography feels like a desire to regain the permanence and closeness that comes with holding a memory in your hands.

【解析】
【导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者从依赖手机拍摄用于社交媒体分享的快照,到受家庭老照片启发,转而使用胶片相机,致力于为自己和家人朋友捕捉真实而有意义的生活片段,从而重新发现摄影本质的心路历程。
【41题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:就像大多数在数字时代长大的青少年一样,我依靠手机拍照——这些快照被分享出去,但很少被再次翻看。A. copied复制;B. printed打印;C. shared分享;D. downloaded下载。根据后文“My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos”可知,这些快照被上传到社交媒体Instagram上,因此是被“分享”出去的。故选C项。
【42题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我在Instagram上的个人主页就是这些精心挑选的照片集,旨在给同龄人留下深刻印象。A. change改变;B. impress给……留下深刻印象;C. support支持;D. instruct指导。根据前文“polished collection(精心修饰的合集)”以及社交媒体上分享照片的常见动机可知,目的是为了“打动”或“给别人留下印象”。故选B项。
【43题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:从为分享而拍图到为自己捕捉记忆的转变,并非一蹴而就。A. capturing捕捉,记录;B. recalling回忆;C. organizing组织;D. sharpening使尖锐,磨砺。根据前文作者在Instagram上“polished collection of such photos”是为了给同龄人留下深刻印象,以及后文他后来使用胶片相机拍摄“the things that matter most”可知,这里描述的是从一种拍摄目的(分享)到另一种拍摄目的(捕捉记忆)的转变;capture memory“记录/留存记忆”,直接对应后文“I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy.”故选A项。
【44题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:它始于一个简单的举动:翻阅家庭相册。A. fact事实;B. act行为,举动;C. task任务;D. rule规则。根据后文“flipping through family photo albums”,这是一个具体的“举动”,触发了作者的转变。故选B项。
【45题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:我被来自我家过去的那些影像所吸引。A. duty责任;B. business生意;C. past过去;D. goal目标。根据前文“family photo albums”以及后文“a history that had been passed down”可知,这些影像是关于家庭“过去”的历史。故选C项。
【46题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:它们并非完美无瑕,但承载着言语常常无法传达的故事——关于生日、仪式和家庭合影。A. prove证明;B. convey传达,表达;C. mask掩盖;D. continue继续。根据后文列举的“of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits”可推知,这些照片承载了具体的故事,能够“传达”言语有时难以尽述的情感和叙事。故选B项。
【47题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:在这些照片中,我看到了连接。A. hope希望;B. trust信任;C. ambition抱负;D. connection连接,联系。通过观看家庭老照片,作者感受到了与家族历史和个人根源的“联系”,后文“a history that had been passed down”也体现了这种代际传承的连接感。故选D项。
【48题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我意识到每一张影像都是一个更宏大事物的一部分:一段被传承下来的历史。A. larger更大的;B. stranger更奇怪的;C. simpler更简单的;D. fresher更新的。根据后文“a history that had been passed down”,每一张独立的照片都是家族漫长历史(一个“更大”的整体叙事)中的一小块拼图。故选A项。
【49题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:正是这种领悟促使我拿起了胶片相机。A. appreciation欣赏;B. observation观察;C. realization领悟,认识;D. prediction预测。根据前文“I realized that every image was a piece of something : a history that had been passed down.”,这是作者经过思考后得到的“领悟”,正是这个认知导致了他行为的改变。故选C项。
【50题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:每卷胶卷只有36次曝光,每一张照片都需要意图,需要慢下来观察周围的世界。A. improvement改进;B. intention意图,目的;C. background背景;D. teamwork团队合作。根据前文“With just 36 exposures per roll”的限制,以及后文“a slowing down to see the world”可知,拍摄者不能随意按下快门,而必须在拍摄前有更明确的思考和“意图”。这与手机随意拍摄的快照形成对比。故选B项。
【51题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:那些不完美之处成为了故事的一部分。A. colors颜色;B. inconveniences不便;C. patterns模式;D. imperfections不完美之处。根据前文“If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped”,照片效果不如预期,即存在技术或艺术上的“不完美”,而这些在作者看来也是有价值的。故选D项。
【52题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:它们不是为了点赞或评论——它们是为我自己、为家人和朋友拍的。A. likes点赞;B. jokes玩笑;C. deals交易;D. games游戏。根据前文提到社交媒体Instagram和“polished collection of such photos intended to my peers”可知,之前的照片追求的是“点赞”等社交媒体反馈。此处与过去形成对比,强调新拍摄目的不同。故选A项。
【53题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:当我最终打开装着冲印好的照片的信封时,有一种重新发现的感觉。A. safety安全;B. emptiness空虚;C. relief宽慰;D. rediscovery重新发现。根据后文“when I finally open an envelope of developed prints”和“I’m back to those moments.”可知,打开实体照片让作者仿佛身临其境,这是一种对过去瞬间的“重新发现”和体验;与数字照片的易被遗忘形成对比。故选D项。
【54题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:我仿佛被带回到了那些时刻。A. transported运送,使身临其境;B. forced强迫;C. withdrawn撤回;D. kicked踢。根据后文“back to those moments”和“holding a memory in your hands”可推知,观看实体照片能将人的思绪“传送/带回”回拍摄的那个瞬间。故选A项。
【55题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:从这个意义上说,我转向胶片摄影,感觉像是渴望重新获得那种将记忆握在手中所带来的永久性和亲密感。A. claim声称;B. response回应;C. shift转变;D. shortcut捷径。根据前文“The transition from sharing images to memories for myself wasn’t immediate.”和“It was this that led me to pick up my film camera.”可知,作者的理念和拍摄媒介与方式发生了根本“转变”。故选C项。
第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

Maijishan Grottoes is one of the four greatest grottoes in China. Different from the other three, Maijishan Grottoes are ____56____ series of caves, excavated (开凿) into the side of the mountain Maijishan. The caves are ____57____ (undoubted) a large sculpture museum.
Inside the 194 caves are 7,200 statues, ____58____ heights vary from 20 centimeters to 15 meters. The rock here is too soft, so the figures are, instead, clay models.

The grottoes ____61____ (carve) over a period of 1,500 years, starting in 384 AD, right up to the beginning of the twentieth century.

The sculptures represent the phased development of Chinese sculpture and architecture.

【答案】56. a 57. undoubtedly
58. whose 59. created
60. Judging
61. were carved
62. destruction
63. for 64. are dedicated
65. but
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了中国四大石窟之一的麦积山石窟:它由一系列山体洞窟构成,藏有大量泥塑和少量石雕作品;石窟开凿历时1500年,因地处偏远免遭破坏;其雕塑风格融合了中印特色,既体现了中国雕塑艺术的发展,也反映了佛教在中国的传播历史。
【56题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:与其他三个石窟不同,麦积山石窟是由一系列洞穴构成的,这些洞穴开凿于麦积山的山体表面。此处为固定短语 a series of 意为“一系列;一连串”,用来修饰可数名词复数 caves。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些洞穴无疑是一座大型的雕塑博物馆。副词修饰形容词 large;形容词 undoubted的副词形式是undoubtedly。故填undoubtedly。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在这 194 个洞穴中,有 7200 尊雕像,它们的高度从 20 厘米到 15 米不等。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词为7,200 statues,在从句中作定语,修饰 heights,表示“雕像的高度”,所以为关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:只有极少数的雕像是由岩石雕刻而成的,它们是从其他地方运来的。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰 The few sculptures;sculptures 和 create 是被动关系(雕塑被创作),因此用过去分词created。故填created。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从雕像的人物和服饰上看,大多体现了汉族的特点。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,judge和逻辑主语most of them为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填Judging。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:这些石窟是在 1500 年的时间里逐步开凿而成的,始于公元 384 年,一直持续到 20 世纪初。主语 The grottoes 和 carve 是被动关系(石窟被开凿);时间状语 over a period of 1,500 years, starting in 384 AD 提示动作发生在过去,主语为复数,所以填 were carved。故填were carved。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些洞穴位置不易到达,因此在历史上的动荡时期免受了大部分破坏。定冠词 the 后接名词;动词 destroy 的名词形式是 destruction(不可数名词)。故填destruction。
【63题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:通往石窟的楼梯最初是用木头建造的,但出于安全考虑,这些楼梯已逐渐被金属支撑结构所取代。此处为固定短语 for safety reasons 意为“出于安全考虑”,介词 for 表原因。故填for。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语和时态。句意:所有设计都致力于追求佛教理念。此处为固定短语be dedicated to 意为“致力于;献身于”;句子描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语All designs 为复数,因此填 are dedicated。故填are dedicated。
【65题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:这些雕塑不仅帮助考古学家追踪了中国雕塑的发展历程和进步,还揭示了佛教在中国的历史演变和传播情况。此处为固定句型 not only...but also... 意为“不仅…… 而且……”,用来连接两个并列的宾语成分。故填but。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For our long-service leave, my husband and I decided to travel around Tasmania with our camper trailer (野营拖车). We were coming all the way across Western Australia to get there — not exactly a “lap of the map”, but still a big trip. We’d packed our bikes, surfboards and our dog.
It was all going beautifully until we got to St Helens in Tasmania. We were looking forward to hitting the bike trails and the beach. But what was meant to be a fun day of mountain biking quickly turned into a stressful, late-night rescue when my husband broke his leg on the trail.
Thanks to the incredible local emergency services, he was located, rescued and airlifted to hospital. As I watched him being flown off the mountain by helicopter, relief flooded through me — and then reality hit. I was now solely responsible for the dog, the vehicle and the camper trailer still set up back at the campsite. Packing up the trailer was a two-person job. My family and friends were 4,000 km away in Western Australia. And my dog needed a walk!
The next day, new neighbours arrived at the campsite. Exhausted and worried, I managed a small smile as a man named Sam said hello and began setting up with his wife. I wondered what they thought — a solo woman with a dog, no partner in sight, and a camper trailer full of gear (齿轮).
Eventually, Sam’s curiosity got the better of him. He asked a few gentle questions and, after two days of silent stress, the whole story poured out.
Sam listened patiently, kindly. He nodded, said little, and returned to his own camp. That evening, he and his wife, Hillary, did something extraordinary. With no hesitation, they told me they’d pack everything up for me. “Tasmania has given us a warm hug, “they said. “Now we want to pass that hug on.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

The next morning, true to their word, they arrived ready to help.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But their kindness didn’t stop there.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
The next morning, true to their word, they arrived ready to help. And what followed was no small task. My husband, still in a hospital bed, talked us through the process over the phone. It was complex and physically demanding. Piece by piece, with calm and methodical care, Sam worked it all out, while Hillary offered encouragement, guidance and good humour. After two hours, the camper was ready to go. It would have taken me days on my own and, even then, I’m not sure I could have done it.
But their kindness didn’t stop there. They invited me to join them for dinner and a seat at their campfire, sharing their food, their warmth and their company. I hadn’t realized how much I needed that simple kindness. It felt like the first deep breath I’d taken in days. I will never forget that holiday. Not just because of the accident, or the brilliance of the emergency services, but because of Sam and Hillary. They gave me a warm Tasmanian hug — just when I needed it most.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,作者和丈夫在塔斯马尼亚州度长期服务假,本打算进行山地骑行和海滩活动,结果丈夫在骑行途中摔断腿,被直升机送往医院。作者独自面对收拾野营拖车等难题,此时新邻居山姆和希拉里到来,作者向他们倾诉了遭遇,山姆和希拉里决定帮助作者。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上,他们果然信守诺言,赶来准备帮忙。”可知,第一段续写围绕山姆和希拉里如何帮助作者收拾野营拖车展开。描述收拾过程复杂且费力,在丈夫电话指导下,山姆有条不紊地操作,希拉里给予鼓励和引导,两小时后成功收拾好,若作者独自完成可能需要数天且不一定能做到。

Deema Assaf walked slowly through Birgish, one of only a few forests in Jordan, careful not to step on one of the delicate wild orchids. “We once had thick forests,” she said. “There were elephants, rhinos and the Asiatic lion, animals which used to live together with people here.” She looked up at the top of an old oak tree and said, “Discovering that made me see the landscape from a different perspective. It is fascinating to see the potential if human intervention were not affecting ecosystem negatively.”
Assaf is an architect and urban forester. After working as a full-time architect for more than ten years, Assaf left her job to look for something more meaningful. She was inspired by a video about a 2,000-year-old forest in Morocco. In the film, she saw a man-made forest in a dry country, with a high ceiling of foliage and walls of fruit trees. She decided that this was what she wanted to do in her native Jordan.
Her research led her to the Miyawaki method, which creates highly biodiverse, multi-layered native forests ten times faster than nature itself does. Her approach goes beyond planting individual trees. It is about establishing a complex and dynamic plant “community”, reconnecting native species that co-evolved together for thousands of years.
Jordan is one of the driest countries in the world, with 75 percent desert and little rainfall. Despite the challenge, Assaf believes it is crucial to act. “It is not drought that causes bare ground, it is bare ground that causes drought,” Assaf said. She claims that “the more we work on greening, the more we give nature the ability to restore itself.”
Assaf started small. Her first site was only 107 square meters. She has gradually built a database for native forest creation in Jordan. So far, she has planted four forests with more than 2,700 native plant seedlings. She also collects seeds for others, including those of endangered species in Jordan.
Assaf always emphasizes it is important to have people participate in growing forests. She often works in collaboration with schools, universities, cities, and companies. “I see it as a kind of citizen-led species recovery intervention, doing what we believe is right and being part of the solution,” Assaf explains.
24. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The old oak tree. B. The preservation of forests.
C. The effects of human intervention. D. The co-existence between man and wildlife.
25. What did the video motivate Assaf to do?
A. Rejuvenate local ecology. B. Quit her job as an architect.
C. Facilitate landscape connectivity. D. Monitor biodiversity conservation.
26. What does Assaf highlight in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of greening. B. The causes of desertification.
C. The urgency to conserve nature. D. The difficulty in fighting drought.
27. What does Assaf think is crucial to her mission?
A. Site selection. B. Database creation.
C. Business expansion. D. Community engagement.

As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言), filled with abbreviations like “hru?”(how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?”
“While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology.
The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations.
David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster.
“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded.
Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether.
“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.”
28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations?
A. They make senders seem insincere.
B. They have evolved over a long time.
C. They reshape digital communication.
D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects.
29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations?
A. They could become trendy.
B. They would not bother others.
C. They could ruin communication.
D. They would damage social connections.
30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ______.
A. the evolution of language
B. a lower effort from the sender
C. an improved conversational quality
D. the preference for a shorter conversation
31. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations?
A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned.
C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content.
D
Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time-travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles (类似) Doctor Who. And if you ask OpenAI’s technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI chiefs face as their era-defining technology becomes ever more widespread in our lives.
Google and OpenAI’s generative artificial intelligence is supposed to be just that — generative, meaning it develops novel answers to our questions. But how much of that output is original? The problem is working out how much AI tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions. One firm, however, claims to be able to shine a light on the issue.
TraceID by Vermillio can detect the percentage to which AI-generated content is based on copyrighted materials. One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints for brands, characters or other IP. These fingerprints act as digital identifiers that map the unique characteristics of a given piece of content. By comparing this fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original, offering a percentage-based match.
The research showcases this process in action, using well-known films such as Doctor Who and James Bond as case studies. The findings? Sora matched up to 62% with James Bond fingerprint, Google’s Veo 3 matched 80% to Doctor Who fingerprint, implying that they have leaned heavily on copyright-protected work to produce its output.
Many creative professionals demand compensation and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that undercut their industries.
Kathleen Grace, head of Vermillio, said: “We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content. This would encourage copyright holders to release more data to AI companies and would give AI companies access to more interesting sets of data. Instead of giving all the money to AI companies, there would be this amazing ecosystem.”
32. What issue is presented at the beginning of the passage?
A. Generative AI reinvents film production.
B. The capabilities of generative AI are expanding.
C. Generative AI is becoming increasingly widespread.
D. Copyrighted materials are used in AI-generated content.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Who uses TraceID. B. How TraceID works.
C. Why Trace ID is developed. D. Where TraceID is used.
34. What does the underline word “remuneration” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Delay. B. Pay. C. Effort. D. Warning.
35. What message does Kathleen Grace want to convey?
A. Limiting data hurts scientific progress.
B. Copyright holders should release more data.
C. A fair data-sharing ecosystem benefits all.
D. AI firms must disclose copyrighted content use.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sharing is an essential part of our daily lives. When you share your experiences with your peers, they are more likely to feel comfortable sharing their own. ____36____ If the thought of sharing your experiences holds you back because you believe that you don’t have big experiences to share, then, you should get over it right away because all experiences are equally valuable. Here are the tips to make your sharing experience more effective.
____37____ Make sure that you go into as much detail as possible. Try to picturise your experience for others so that they can just feel like you do. Share with them what you feel and why you feel that way. Start by sharing when you had the idea for what you are sharing. Then share what happened or what you thought. After that, share why it is important to you or why you think the way you do.
Explain the words. ____38____ Would you understand every word of your dialogue if you were from another community? If not, consider defining the jargon (术语). As an alternative to saying to your global peers, “I love Kathakali and you should definitely watch it someday.” Say something like: “I love Kathakali, which is a form of folk dance, in which the dancers present a drama wearing unique masks. You should watch it someday.”
Be fearless. While sharing an experience, you do not have to be embarrassed, afraid to open up. ____39____ For example, suppose you are discussing gender equality, and some of your peers support the idea that women can only work in certain professions, and you disagree with them. Then, instead of fearing what people would think if you said something unconventional, just say it.
Now that you have read my tips for sharing, go share your own experiences, ideas, and thoughts with the rest of the world. Remember that no experience is too big or too small. ____40____ Whatever you share would be unique and new to someone who has had different experiences or has different perspectives from you. So, continue to share.
A. Share the details.
B. Because it surely does!
C. Make sense of your experiences.
D. All experiences matter in their own way.
E. You have every right to be brave and frank out.
F. Think about this from another person’s perspective.
G. There are no restrictions on sharing what matters to you.

The transition from sharing images to ____43____ memories for myself wasn’t immediate. It began with a simple ____44____: flipping (翻) through family photo albums.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
For our long-service leave, my husband and I decided to travel around Tasmania with our camper trailer (野营拖车). We were coming all the way across Western Australia to get there — not exactly a “lap of the map”, but still a big trip. We’d packed our bikes, surfboards and our dog.
It was all going beautifully until we got to St Helens in Tasmania. We were looking forward to hitting the bike trails and the beach. But what was meant to be a fun day of mountain biking quickly turned into a stressful, late-night rescue when my husband broke his leg on the trail.
Thanks to the incredible local emergency services, he was located, rescued and airlifted to hospital. As I watched him being flown off the mountain by helicopter, relief flooded through me — and then reality hit. I was now solely responsible for the dog, the vehicle and the camper trailer still set up back at the campsite. Packing up the trailer was a two-person job. My family and friends were 4,000 km away in Western Australia. And my dog needed a walk!
The next day, new neighbours arrived at the campsite. Exhausted and worried, I managed a small smile as a man named Sam said hello and began setting up with his wife. I wondered what they thought — a solo woman with a dog, no partner in sight, and a camper trailer full of gear (齿轮).
Eventually, Sam’s curiosity got the better of him. He asked a few gentle questions and, after two days of silent stress, the whole story poured out.
Sam listened patiently, kindly. He nodded, said little, and returned to his own camp. That evening, he and his wife, Hillary, did something extraordinary. With no hesitation, they told me they’d pack everything up for me. “Tasmania has given us a warm hug, “they said. “Now we want to pass that hug on.”
