AI consumes large amounts of energy: a single ChatGPT response uses around 10 times the electricity of a Google search, and its more than 400 million weekly active users increase demand. DeepSeek claimed higher energy efficiency but also faced doubts, keeping AI’s energy use a persistent concern. Here is the daily energy comparison between ChatGPT and Google search.
Operation Type

Daily Energy Use

621.4 MWh

Given the energy consumption, AI adoption won’t slow as firms view it as essential, so a smart strategy is needed to employ AI’s benefits while meeting sustainable goals. Luckily, industry experts are developing various solutions to address this challenge.
The AI-related energy risks have gained visibility, triggering public awareness and action. Yet focusing on energy alone cannot break the cycle of increasing environmental and operational pressures. “To address AI-energy risks and unlock long-term value, companies and investors must move beyond their narrow roles in the AI value chain. They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment,” notes Lauren Smart in World Economic Forum.
1. How much more daily energy does ChatGPT consume than Google Search?
A. 632.2 MWh. B. 621.4 MWh. C. 610.6 MWh. D. 10.8 MWh.
2. Which of the following is an effective measure to cut AI energy use?

For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed.
Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present.
Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.
It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.
4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account?
A. A loss of connections.
B. A sense of personal burnout.
C. A near miss of an accident.
D A decline of online followers.
5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2?
A. Absorbed in new hobbies.
B. Stuck in digital withdrawal.
C. Focused on quality moments.
D. Built on health and productivity.
6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone?
A. He has to rely on computers.
B. Real-time contact is much needed.
C. Close relationships are hard to maintain.
D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized.
7 What does the author’s experience show?
A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health.
B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility.
C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence.
D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency.
C
Mo Wilde’s fascinating book Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them, makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago, the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building, gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper. Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries — reminding us who’s boss. I thought it was fantastic, but the householder did not. A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas. In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley, a plant used as a herb in cooking. This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen, such as supermarkets and grocery shops, have placed between us and the natural world. “We are nature,” Wilde writes. “And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration, not complete replacement. For instance, try using leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing. Tables, like the “Wild Spice Conversion Chart” make wild garlic look downright basic. Do you know sneezewort produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper? Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items. Wilde’s tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her, and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes. Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app, though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are. The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature, one plant at a time.
8. Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon?
A. To remove the elder branches. B. To repair the blinds.
C. To get another elder tree planted. D. To replace the wallpaper.
9. Where does Mo Wilde see a gap?
A. Between elder leaves and parsley. B. Between our diet and nature gifts.
C. Between wild food and our awareness. D. Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
10. What can the underlined word “sneezewort” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. A health-care tea. B. A big leaf used as a package.
C. A household cleaning article. D. A wild plant with a hot flavor.
11. What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food?
A. Falling in love with cooking. B. Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C. Coming into closer contact with nature. D. Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.
D
In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught.
Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy.
Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.
In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.
Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing.
12. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding?
A. He who hesitates is lost.
B. More speed, less effect.
C. Strike while the iron is hot.
D. No pains, no gains.
13. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To support a viewpoint.
B. To correct a misconception.
C. To introduce a practice.
D. To promote a phenomenon.
14. What plays a key role in settlers’ success based on Golder’s findings?
A. Doing effective marketing.
B. Mastering strategic timing.
C. Employing high technology.
D. Breaking existing rules.
15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?
A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle!
B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Settlers.
C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment.
D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying?
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。
Whether you are a couch potato or fitness enthusiast, the start of a new year is a great time to set an exercise goal. ____16____ A study of more than 1000 people found that only about half of them sustained resolutions for a year. I, for one, have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list. If we want this year to be different, how to set yourself up for success?
Well, to start, you may need to re-evaluate your resolution. Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals. The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome. These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day, or, in my case, running a half-marathon. ____17____
That’s why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones. _____18_____ So, instead of aiming to walk 10,000 steps a day, you would find three new walking routes to enjoy.
____19____ A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so. The first was enjoyment. People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn’t. Try different types of workouts until you find one that you look forward to. ____20____Participants who firmly believed they would still exercise even when tired, working late or going through a stressful life event were 73 per cent more likely to regularly attend the gym. Making exercise a priority is crucial.
In summary, setting yourself up for successful fitness resolutions means choosing the right goal for you, making exercise fun and devising a plan to stick with it.
A. Commitment was also key.
B. Sports safety came the second.
C. The challenge, of course, is getting it through.
D. There are other things to consider when creating a fitness goal.
E. What should be emphasized more is to accomplish a specific result.
F. However, outcome-based goals may actually hold back fitness ambitions.
G. The focus is on developing strategies involved in performing a certain task.

I moved to Stockholm in October. By December, the Scandinavian winter had fully set in — days were short, and everything felt gray and ____21____. Coming from a lively and crowded Mediterranean city, I found the silence and the ____22____ nature of people overwhelming. I felt lonely, a feeling that ____23____ with the growing darkness.
One afternoon, as I was walking home, the first snow began. It wasn’t the ____24____ storm I had feared, but a gentle, almost shy. Astonishingly, the city transformed around me. The grayness was ____25____ under a soft, white blanket. But more remarkable ____26____ was in the people.
On the street, a woman, who usually walked with her head down, ____27____, made eye contact and gave me a small smile. Many children burst out of a building, their joyful shouts breaking the ____28____ as they tried to catch snowflakes (雪花) on their tongues. A stranger next to me at the traffic light said, ____29____, “Vacker, eller hur?” (Beautiful, isn’t it?)
____30____, I understood something deeper. The reserve I had mistaken for ____31____ was a different kind of warmth waiting for the right moment to ____32____ itself. The people here didn’t offer their friendliness on demand; it was earned through shared ____33____, like this first snow.
I didn’t feel alone anymore. No longer ____34____ the cold, I walked slowly, feeling the snow melt on my cheeks. It was my first winter, and perhaps, my first real step into ____35____ this new home.

In the fast-changing global snack landscape, a standout delight has emerged: milk skin tanghulu. This ____36____ (innovate) treat combines Inner Mongolia’s age-old naipizi tradition with tanghulu, ____37____ extraordinarily beloved candied fruit snack. Its soaring popularity speaks volumes about its vivid flavor and the charm of weaving time-honored practices with modern creativity.
Naipizi, a silky milk skin ____38____ (craft) by slow-boiling milk, has deep rural roots. For generations, it has ____39____ (unique) represented the essence of nomadic grassland life. Today, though, it ____40____ (wrap) around shiny fruits covered with sugar, ____41____ strikes a delightful balance between creamy softness and satisfying crunch (嘎嘣脆).
The trend has swept through major cities, ____42____ enthusiasts queuing for hours to try it. International food bloggers share their ____43____ (admire) online, praising it as “a perfect mix of old and new.” Its significance lies not just in its taste, but in its role as a cultural link that honors tradition while ____44____(embrace) innovation.
Perhaps one day, much like the Silk Road that previously ____45____ (deliver) flavors across continents, this modern treat will keep fostering cultural connections — proving that ancient cooking wisdom can flourish in a globalized world.

47. 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。
Mustafa stood nervously in front of his sixth-grade class on his first day in America. His teacher introduced him as a new student from Turkey. Before he could sit down, a big boy named Bob pressed his fist to his mouth and made a strange sound — “Gobble-gobble!” Laughter broke out. Mustafa had no idea what it meant, but he knew it wasn’t friendly.
Later, Sam, a quiet boy who sat in front of him, explained, “Bob is making fun of you. ‘Gobble’ is the sound of a turkey — the bird Americans eat on Thanksgiving.” Mustafa forced a smile, but the teasing only grew worse. In the following days, Bob gobbled in the hallway, at the water fountain, even during break. Though Mustafa tried to ignore him, the sound followed him everywhere. Mustafa, who was much shorter than Bob, was running out of patience.
The turning point came when a soccer game was announced before Thanksgiving celebration. Mustafa’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news that they would be divided into two teams to play, because he grew up playing soccer, or “futbol” as he called it, Turkey’s national sport. But when captains chose teams, he was picked last. Apparently, they doubted his skills because of his short and slim figure. Captain Oliver even sent him to the bench, saying he’d put him in after they took the lead.
Heartbroken yet determined, Mustafa practiced alone on the bench. His skills were impressive — dribbling(带球), kneeing, and heading the ball with precision. The entire class watched in amazement. “Come on in,” Oliver, finally said. On the field, Oliver passed him the ball. “We’re down 3-2 — hurry!” Mustafa’s talent shone when he finally played. Two defenders rushed him, but Mustafa skillfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal. The goalkeeper was Bob, who mocked, “Gobble-gobble!” Mustafa tricked him easily and scored, tying the game.
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。
With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly.

细节理解题。根据表格中ChatGPT Response行Daily Energy Use列“621.4 MWh (621.4兆瓦时)”以及Google Search行Daily Energy Use列“10.8 MWh (10.8兆瓦时)”可知,两者的能耗差值为621.4-10.8 = 610.6 MWh。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中Potential Solutions部分左上角“Hardware Upgrades: Use power-limited, carbon-efficient hardware (e.g. IBM’s 2025 new chips) to cut energy use.(硬件升级:采用功率消耗低、碳排放量小的硬件设备(例如,IBM的2025年新芯片)以降低能源消耗)”可知,采用节能芯片可以直接减少AI运行时的能源消耗。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Lauren Smart的表述“They should pursue strategies that create shared value by advancing business goals while benefiting society and the environment.(他们应该采取既能推进商业目标又能造福社会和环境的策略,以创造共享价值)”可知,AI公司应该采取的使命是创造共享价值。故选A项。

Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present.
Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there? or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.
It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾因沉迷Instagram而焦虑疲惫,于是停用账号,使用老式手机。他发现摆脱数字干扰后,生活更有条理,能享受闲暇时光,并重新发现生活的乐趣。作者感悟到,减少屏幕使用、提升专注度是改善生活质量的关键。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A constant panic over lost connections, the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia.(对失去联系的持续恐慌、无休止的滚动带来的空虚感,以及险些遭遇的车祸,都让我感到筋疲力尽。不堪重负,我停用了我的账户,买了一部老诺基亚手机。)”可知,作者因为感到个人疲惫不堪,包括对失去联系的恐慌、无休止刷屏的空虚感以及差点发生车祸的经历,所以决定停用Instagram账号。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano.(没有了无休止的滚动,时间又回到了我身边。我可以利用原本用于刷屏的时间来保持健康或提高效率,但我也可以用它来欣赏已经失传的闲暇艺术。我一天中的大部分时间都花在翻阅杂志、喝茶、笨拙地弹钢琴上。)”可知,作者现在的生活更注重质量时刻,比如翻阅杂志、喝茶、弹钢琴等,享受闲暇时光,而不是被数字设备所占据。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.(一些互动,比如群聊、给国外朋友和家人信息,可能会让人觉得很紧急,但一旦我远离它们,我就会意识到这种紧迫感是软件工程、我自己的焦虑,或者两者的结合所造成的。)”可知,作者在换用非智能手机后意识到,许多原本感觉紧急的互动其实是被过度强调了紧迫感,这种紧迫感可能源于软件设计或个人焦虑。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time? I was hardly even there.(我现在带的是胶片相机而不是智能手机,刻意拍照的行为给我带来了真正的快乐。当人们问我是否想念我的智能手机时,我会回想起我上瘾最严重的时候。我一直在网上,但很少出现在现场。我怎么会想念那段时光呢?我几乎都不在那里。)”可知,作者通过降低设备等级(从智能手机到非智能手机、胶片相机),提升了在现实生活中的存在感和体验质量,享受到了真正的快乐。因此,作者的经历表明降低设备等级可以提升现实生活的体验。故选C项。
C
Mo Wilde’s fascinating book, Free Food: Wild Plants and How to Eat Them, makes the case for connecting with nature by finding your cuisine beyond supermarket shelves.
A couple of years ago, the thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building, gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper. Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries — reminding us who’s boss. I thought it was fantastic, but the householder did not. A tree surgeon was called in.
Mo Wilde would have had other ideas. In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley, a plant used as a herb in cooking. This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen, such as supermarkets and grocery shops, have placed between us and the natural world. “We are nature,” Wilde writes. “And making good use of more wild food into our diets will make us more conscious of that.”
Free Food advocates for integration, not complete replacement. For instance, try using leaves instead of tin foil for wrapping delicate food when barbecuing. Tables, like the “Wild Spice Conversion Chart” make wild garlic look downright basic. Do you know sneezewort produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper? Her suggestions even involve using plants for medicinal teas and household items. Wilde’s tone is encouraging and her expertise and experience make you trust her, and her enthusiasm makes you turn the page.
Readers whose home is their kitchen will notice that Wilde provides more ideas than recipes. Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app, though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are. The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature, one plant at a time.
8. Why did the householder call in a tree surgeon?
A. To remove the elder branches. B. To repair the blinds.
C. To get another elder tree planted. D. To replace the wallpaper.
9. Where does Mo Wilde see a gap?
A. Between elder leaves and parsley. B. Between our diet and nature gifts.
C. Between wild food and our awareness. D. Between supermarkets and grocery shops.
10. What can the underlined word “sneezewort” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. A health-care tea. B. A big leaf used as a package.
C. A household cleaning article. D. A wild plant with a hot flavor.
11. What change has the author undergone after reading Free Food?
A. Falling in love with cooking. B. Starting to collect leaves for recipes.
C. Coming into closer contact with nature. D. Learning to draw on apps to explore plants.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要通过Mo Wilde的著作介绍了寻觅野外食物,与大自然建立联系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A couple of years ago, the: thin branches of an elder (接骨木) bush inched through the open blinds of my apartment building, gradually forming what I can only describe as a piece of living wallpaper. Mother Nature was breaking into our boundaries-reminding us who’s boss. I thought it was fantastic, but the householder did not. A tree surgeon was called in.(几年前,一棵接骨木的细枝从我公寓的百叶窗里慢慢地伸了进来,逐渐形成了我只能用“活墙纸”来形容的东西。大自然母亲正在突破我们的界限,提醒我们谁才是老板。我觉得这太棒了,但房主不这么认为。一位树木修整专家被叫来了)”可知,一棵接骨木的细枝伸进了房间,作者把它看作是“活墙纸”,但是房主不这么认为,叫来了树木修整专家,由此推知叫来树木修整专家是为了移除接骨木的细枝,故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In Free Food, she suggests using elder leaves when cooking potatoes: they have a similar taste to parsley, a plant used as a herb in cooking. This simple way bridges the gap that middlemen, such as supermarkets and grocery shops, have placed between us and the natural world.(在Free Food一书中,她建议在烹饪土豆时使用接骨木叶:它们味道与烹饪中用作药草的欧芹相似。这种简单的方式弥合了中间商,如超市和杂货店,在我们和自然世界之间架起的鸿沟)”可知,Mo Wilde建议使用接骨木叶子替代欧芹,这样就弥合了我们和自然之间的鸿沟,所以他看到了在我们的饮食和自然界的礼物之间的鸿沟,故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Wild Spice Conversion Chart(野生香料转换图)”和后文“produces a similar taste to Sichuan pepper(味道和四川花椒差不多)”可知,sneezewort味道和四川花椒差不多,由此推知sneezewort指的是“一种有辣味的野生植物”,故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Since reading Free Food, I’ve found myself picking leaves and seeing whether I can identify them without an app, though there is always an app that would instantly tell me what they are. The appeal of collecting is that it forces you to pay attention to your surroundings and build a relationship with nature, one plant at a time.(自从阅读了Free Food之后,我发现自己会摘树叶,看看自己是否可以在没有应用程序的情况下识别它们,尽管总有一个应用程序可以立即告诉我它们是什么。收集的吸引力在于,它迫使你关注周围的环境,并与自然建立关系,一次一株植物)”可知,读完Free Food作者与大自然有了更亲密的接触,故选C。
D
In work and in life, we are constantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years of studying originals, I have found that the advantages of acting quickly are often outweighed by the downsides. It’s true the early bird gets the worm, but we can’t forget the early worm gets caught.
Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an unconventional idea: procrastination (拖延) might boost originality.Shin asked participants to propose business for a college empty lot left by a convenience store. When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas,like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent (发散的)thinking rather than“seizing and freezing” on one particular strategy.
Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.
In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.
Settlers are often labelled as copycats, but this stereotype misses the mark. Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new. They’re often slow to enter because they’re working on revolutionary products, services, or technologies within the category. In home video-game handles, the pioneer was Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, which mostly featured basic sports games. A settler, Nintendo, acquired the Odyssey’s distribution rights for Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavox out of the water in the following decade by creating an original Nintendo Entertainment System. It transformed gaming with a user-friendly controller, advanced characters, and interactive role-playing.
12. Which of the following best shows Shin’s finding?
A. He who hesitates is lost.
B. More speed, less effect.
C. Strike while the iron is hot.
D. No pains, no gains.
13. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To support a viewpoint.
B. To correct a misconception.
C. To introduce a practice.
D. To promote a phenomenon.
14. What plays a key role in settlers’ success based on Golder’s findings?
A. Doing effective marketing.
B. Mastering strategic timing.
C. Employing high technology.
D. Breaking existing rules.
15. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?
A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle!
B. The War of Innovation: Pioneers VS. Settlers.
C. Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment.
D. The Secret to Success: Delaying or Not Delaying?
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出,与快速行动相比,拖延可能更有利于原创性。研究显示,拖延能为发散性思维提供时间。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“When they started the task immediately, they tended to propose conventional ideas-like another convenience store. When Shin randomly assigned some participants to delay the task to play computer games, they generated more novel ideas, like a tutoring center or a storage facility. Further experiments showed neither playing games nor taking a break boosted creativity. Shin concluded that when you procrastinate a task, you buy yourself time for divergent thinking rather than ‘seizing and freezing’ on one particular strategy.(当他们立即开始任务时,他们倾向于提出传统的想法,比如再开一家便利店。当Shin随机分配一些参与者推迟任务去玩电脑游戏时,他们产生了更多新颖的想法,比如辅导中心或存储设施。进一步的实验表明,玩游戏或休息都不能提高创造力。Shin总结说,当你拖延一项任务时,你为自己赢得了进行发散性思维的时间,而不是‘抓住并固定’在某一个特定的策略上。)”可知,Shin的研究发现,拖延任务可以为发散性思维赢得时间,从而产生更多新颖的想法,而不是急于行动导致效果不佳。因此,选项B“More speed, less effect.(欲速则不达)”最能体现Shin的发现。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Procrastination may be the enemy of productivity, but it can be a resource for creativity. Ancient civilizations recognized this long before the Industrial Revolution’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were two different verbs for procrastination: one meant laziness; the other meant waiting for the right time.(拖延可能是生产力的敌人,但它也可以成为创造力的资源。早在工业革命的效率热潮之前,古代文明就已经认识到了这一点。在古埃及,拖延有两个不同的动词:一个表示懒惰;另一个表示等待合适的时机。)”可知,本段通过引用古埃及对拖延的不同理解,来支持拖延可以是创造力的资源这一观点,与第二段中Shin的研究发现相呼应。因此,本段的目的是支持一个观点,即拖延可以是创造力的资源。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Golder analyzed hundreds of brands, comparing pioneering companies to slower settlers entering after pioneers created markets. The result was striking: pioneers failed at six times the rate of settlers.(在一项经典研究中,市场研究人员Peter Golder分析了数百个品牌,比较了先驱公司和先驱公司创造市场后进入的较慢的定居者。结果令人震惊:先驱者的失败率是定居者的六倍。)”以及第五段中“Instead of meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready to introduce something new.(他们不是满足现有的需求,而是等到准备好推出新东西的时候。)”可知,根据Golder的研究发现,定居者之所以成功,关键在于他们掌握了战略时机,即等待合适的时机推出新产品或服务,而不是急于满足现有需求。因此,选项B“Mastering strategic timing.(掌握战略时机)”是定居者成功的关键因素。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了拖延对创造力的积极作用,以及先驱者和定居者在市场进入时机上的不同策略。文章通过Shin的研究和Golder的研究发现,强调了拖延在激发创造力和掌握战略时机方面的重要性。因此,文章最可能选自一本关于如何激发创造力的书籍,选项C“Unlocking Originality: Please Wait a Moment.( 释放创意:请稍等片刻。)”与文章主题相符。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。
Whether you are a couch potato or fitness enthusiast, the start of a new year is a great time to set an exercise goal. ____16____ A study of more than 1000 people found that only about half of them sustained resolutions for a year. I, for one, have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list. If we want this year to be different, how to set yourself up for success?
Well, to start, you may need to re-evaluate your resolution. Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals. The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome. These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day, or, in my case, running a half-marathon. ____17____
That’s why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones. _____18_____ So, instead of aiming to walk 10,000 steps a day, you would find three new walking routes to enjoy.
____19____ A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so. The first was enjoyment. People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn’t. Try different types of workouts until you find one that you look forward to. ____20____Participants who firmly believed they would still exercise even when tired, working late or going through a stressful life event were 73 per cent more likely to regularly attend the gym. Making exercise a priority is crucial.
In summary, setting yourself up for successful fitness resolutions means choosing the right goal for you, making exercise fun and devising a plan to stick with it.
A. Commitment was also key.
B. Sports safety came the second.
C. The challenge, of course, is getting it through.
D. There are other things to consider when creating a fitness goal.
E. What should be emphasized more is to accomplish a specific result.
F. However, outcome-based goals may actually hold back fitness ambitions.
G. The focus is on developing strategies involved in performing a certain task.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. G 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明新年适合定运动目标,但坚持难度大;建议新手选学习型目标而非结果型,还需兼顾运动乐趣与坚持投入,才能实现健身决心。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Whether you are a couch potato or fitness enthusiast, the start of a new year is a great time to set an exercise goal.(无论你是喜欢窝在沙发上看电视的人,还是热衷于健身的人,新年伊始都是设定健身目标的绝佳时机)”以及后文“A study of more than 1000 people found that only about half of them sustained resolutions for a year. I, for one, have tried and failed for years to tick running a half-marathon off my bucket list. If we want this year to be different, how to set yourself up for success?(一项针对 1000 多人的研究发现,只有约半数人能将新年决心坚持一整年。就我自己而言,多年来我一直尝试在人生清单上划掉 “跑半程马拉松” 这一项,却屡屡失败。要是想让今年有所不同,该如何为成功的目标设定做好准备呢?)”可知,前文提到新年适合设定运动目标,后文则指出研究显示仅约半数人能将决心坚持一年,且作者自身也多年未能完成半马目标,空格处需起到承上启下的过渡作用。C选项“当然,挑战在于将其坚持到底”既衔接了前文的目标设定,又引出了后文的坚持难题,符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Well, to start, you may need to re-evaluate your resolution. Most guidance suggests establishing physical activity goals. The ones focused on achieving a certain outcome. These can include aims like walking 10,000 steps a day, or, in my case, running a half-marathon.(首先,你可能需要重新审视自己的目标设定。大多数建议都主张设定具体的体育锻炼目标。这些目标旨在达成某种特定的结果。比如每天走10000步,或者像我这样,参加半程马拉松比赛)”可知,前文介绍了常见的结果导向型运动目标(如每天走1万步、跑半马),后文则转折提出新手应选择学习型目标而非表现型目标,说明结果导向型目标存在不足。F选项“然而,基于结果的目标实际上可能会阻碍健身抱负”能实现前后逻辑的转折,引出后文的新观点。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“That’s why Christian Swann at Southern Cross University in Australia suggests that those new to working out should choose learning goals rather than performance ones.(这就是为什么澳大利亚南十字星大学的克里斯蒂安·斯旺建议,对于刚开始锻炼的人而言,应当设定学习目标而非成绩目标)”可知,前文提出新手应选学习型目标,空格处需对学习型目标进行具体解释。G选项“其重点是掌握完成某项任务所需的策略”,明确了学习型目标的核心,与后文“找三条新步行路线”的例子相呼应,符合文意。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据后文“A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so. The first was enjoyment. People who found exercise fulfilling or pleasurable were 84 per cent more likely to work out regularly than those who didn’t. Try different types of workouts until you find one that you look forward to.( 2021年的一项研究对250名初次开始锻炼的人进行了跟踪调查。一年后,仅有约17%的人每周至少锻炼两次。有三个因素显著提高了他们坚持锻炼的可能性。第一个因素是乐趣。那些觉得锻炼既有意义又令人愉悦的人,比那些不这么认为的人定期锻炼的可能性高出84%。尝试不同的锻炼方式,直到找到一种你期待参与的运动)”可知,后文通过研究指出坚持运动的三个关键因素(乐趣、信念等),说明设定健身目标还需考虑其他方面。D选项“制定健身目标时还需考虑其他因素”能起到总起后文的作用,衔接自然。故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“A 2021 study monitored 250 people new to exercise. After one year, only about 17 per cent worked out at least twice a week. Three factors significantly increased their likelihood of doing so.

Making exercise a priority is crucial.(那些坚信即便在疲惫不堪、工作到很晚或者遭遇压力性生活事件的情况下仍会坚持锻炼的参与者,定期去健身房的几率要高出73%。将锻炼列为优先事项至关重要)”可知,前文提到“乐趣”是坚持运动的关键因素之一,后文则指出坚信自己在疲惫、忙碌等情况下仍会运动的人更易规律健身,强调了坚持的重要性。A选项“投入度也很关键”能衔接前后文,引出后文对“坚持信念”的论述,符合逻辑。故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
Mustafa stood nervously in front of his sixth-grade class on his first day in America. His teacher introduced him as a new student from Turkey. Before he could sit down, a big boy named Bob pressed his fist to his mouth and made a strange sound — “Gobble-gobble!” Laughter broke out. Mustafa had no idea what it meant, but he knew it wasn’t friendly.
Later, Sam, a quiet boy who sat in front of him, explained, “Bob is making fun of you. ‘Gobble’ is the sound of a turkey — the bird Americans eat on Thanksgiving.” Mustafa forced a smile, but the teasing only grew worse. In the following days, Bob gobbled in the hallway, at the water fountain, even during break. Though Mustafa tried to ignore him, the sound followed him everywhere. Mustafa, who was much shorter than Bob, was running out of patience.
The turning point came when a soccer game was announced before Thanksgiving celebration. Mustafa’s eyes lit up upon hearing the news that they would be divided into two teams to play, because he grew up playing soccer, or “futbol” as he called it, Turkey’s national sport. But when captains chose teams, he was picked last. Apparently, they doubted his skills because of his short and slim figure. Captain Oliver even sent him to the bench, saying he’d put him in after they took the lead.
Heartbroken yet determined, Mustafa practiced alone on the bench. His skills were impressive — dribbling(带球), kneeing, and heading the ball with precision. The entire class watched in amazement. “Come on in,” Oliver, finally said. On the field, Oliver passed him the ball. “We’re down 3-2 — hurry!” Mustafa’s talent shone when he finally played. Two defenders rushed him, but Mustafa skillfully dribbled past them and ran to the goal. The goalkeeper was Bob, who mocked, “Gobble-gobble!” Mustafa tricked him easily and scored, tying the game.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With two minutes left, Mustafa got the ball again. His heart pounded with excitement and determination. He dribbled the ball with incredible speed, weaving through the remaining defenders as if they were mere obstacles in his path. The crowd, both his teammates and opponents, watched in awe. As he approached the goal, he could see Bob standing there, his eyes wide with anticipation. Mustafa didn’t hesitate; he took a powerful shot, sending the ball flying past Bob’s outstretched hands and into the net. The final whistle blew, and Mustafa’s team had won, 4-3.
Bob hung his head in embarrassment as Mustafa’s team cheered loudly. He couldn’t believe how wrong he had been about Mustafa. The new boy wasn’t just good at soccer; he was amazing. Bob walked over to Mustafa, his face red with shame. “I’m sorry,” he muttered, “I was wrong about you. You’re really talented.” Mustafa smiled, accepting the apology. From that day on, Bob stopped teasing Mustafa and even became one of his biggest fans. They became friends, and Mustafa finally felt like he belonged in his new school.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,文章讲述了来自土耳其的六年级新生Mustafa初到美国遭Bob取笑,在感恩节前的足球赛中,他起初被轻视坐冷板凳,后上场凭借出色球技帮助球队逆转获胜,Bob羞愧道歉,二人成为朋友,Mustafa终融入新学校。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“还剩两分钟,Mustafa再次拿到了球。”可知,第一段可描写Mustafa在比赛最后时刻再次拿到球后的表现,他凭借出色球技突破防守,射门得分,带领球队赢得比赛。
②由第二段首句内容“当Mustafa的队友们大声欢呼时,Bob尴尬地低下了头。”可知,第二段可描写Bob对Mustafa态度的转变,从之前的嘲笑到现在的道歉和认可,两人最终成为朋友,Mustafa也融入了新学校。
2. 续写线索:拿到球——突破防守——射门得分——赢得比赛——Bob道歉——成为朋友——融入学校
3. 词汇激活
