Quick-thinking, she landed on her knee, injuring herself but protecting his head. “He was fine,” she said, “I didn’t want him to have a concussion (脑震荡).” It also makes sense why she learned CPR in Girl Scouts. Vada’s parents, Clint and Amanda, are separated but remain close friends. One day, Vada went to visit Clint, who was gardening. When he went inside, his left arm and chest began hurting. “These are signs of a heart attack,” he told Vada. He knew because he’d looked them up. Then he went to take a shower. “Maybe that’ll help.” Even after his hot shower, Clint felt freezing cold. He lay on the sofa and Vada brought him the covers. Soon, he began sweating. Vada knew this sudden body temperature swing was a bad sign. Having left her phone at her mom’s, she put her dad’s in her pocket in case she needed to call for help. When Clint went to the bathroom, Vada followed and waited outside. Suddenly, she heard a heavy crash. Vada became nervous at once. When she rushed in and saw him struggling to breathe on the floor, she forced herself to remain calm and called 911. She told the 911 operator she knew CPR and started performing it on her father under guidance. Vada remembered where to place her hands and how deep to push, hoping she was doing it right. Some time later, the medical team arrived and took over. Vada called Amanda, and she just couldn’t hold back her feelings anymore and cried out loud. When Amanda arrived, one of the rescuers said, “Vada has already done the life-saving part and we’re taking it from there to do everything we can to help him.” Finally, Clint woke up. Amanda shared the news on Facebook, and a Girl Scouts leader presented 11-year-old Vada with the Medal of Honor, one of the organization’s highest honors. 4. Why did Vada go to learn CPR in Girl Scouts? A. She wanted to help others. B. She hoped to get an honor there. C. She was into medical knowledge. D. She was sent there by her parents. 5. What did Vada do after finding Clint feeling unwell? A. She called her mom for help. B. She helped to keep him warm. C. She told him to take a shower. D. She took his body temperature. 6. Which of the following can best describe Vada? A. Skilled but careless. B. Creative and heroic. C. Organized but impatient. D. Caring and cool-headed. 7. What did the rescuer’s words show in paragraph 5? A. Vada did a great job with CPR. B. Clint would wake up soon. C. Clint required another follow-up visit. D. Vada needed to learn more about first aid. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述11岁的瓦达凭借童子军所学的心肺复苏术，冷静救助突发心脏病的父亲，最终使其脱离危险并获荣誉的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Vada has always enjoyed taking care of others since she was very young.(瓦达从小就喜欢照顾别人。)”以及“It also makes sense why she learned CPR in Girl Scouts.(这也解释了为什么她在女童子军学习了心肺复苏术。)”可知，瓦达学习心肺复苏术的原因是她本身喜欢照顾、帮助他人，这份心意让她有了学习急救技能的举动。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Even after his hot shower, Clint felt freezing cold. He lay on the sofa and Vada brought him the covers.(克林特即使洗了热水澡，还是觉得冷得刺骨。他躺在沙发上，瓦达给他拿来了被子。)”可知，发现父亲身体不适后，瓦达为他拿来被子，帮他保暖。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Vada has always enjoyed taking care of others since she was very young.(瓦达从小就喜欢照顾别人。)”以及第四段中的“When she rushed in and saw him struggling to breathe on the floor, she forced herself to remain calm and called 911.(当她冲进去看到他躺在地上呼吸困难时，她强迫自己保持冷静并拨打了911。)”可知，瓦达生性关爱他人，且在父亲突发意外时能保持镇定、采取急救措施，是一个有爱心且头脑冷静的人。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When Amanda arrived, one of the rescuers said, “Vada has already done the life-saving part and we’re taking it from there to do everything we can to help him.” Finally, Clint woke up.

A few years ago, several elderly farmers visited my house on Ireland’s windswept Atlantic coast. As midnight approached and the outside turned dark and freezing, one of the farmers suddenly began to sing. His voice echoed (回响) through the silence, high and sharp, singing a folk song about Banna Strand. At such moments, singing becomes the soundtrack of our lives. Everything starts with the first music we ever hear — the voice of our mother. It is people opening their mouths to sing that lend seriousness and ritual (仪式) to occasions like birthdays and weddings. Once the human voice is put into music, no matter whether your preference is Callas, Adele, or Queen, musical instruments are reduced to supporting roles. Like a fingerprint, the voice stamps music with a personal mark and can produce endless variations. Borrowing sounds and tones from spoken language, the human voice endows music with a feeling, an emotion, or a story — maybe a tale of a heartless lover, or of a ship that never made it to Banna Strand. Nearly all forms of music bear signs of the human voice. When you listen to Chopin’s gentle pieces, what you hear is a piano imitating the human voice. When my violin teacher, Clarence Myerscough, wanted me to understand how to phrase a melody, he never showed it with his 17th-century Maggini violin. Instead, he sang with his plain 20th-century voice. Singing does us a world of good. Concentrating on singing loudly refreshes both the mind and the body. The breathing in singing clears our airways, helping to prevent coughs and colds. Belting out a song can also relieve frustrations. Why not test if this works? If you don’t have the confidence to join a local choir (合唱团), you can at least lock yourself safely in the bathroom while taking a shower, open your mouth, take a deep breath, and let out your own voice — even if it is not perfect. Music lies within you. You just need to find it. 8. Why does the author mention the elderly Irish farmer in the text? A. To show the wide spread of folk songs. B. To stress the unique charm of the voice. C. To prove farmers enjoy singing folk songs. D. To share an unforgettable personal experience. 9. What does the underlined word “endows” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Records. B. represents. C. Provides. D. Exchanges. 10. How does the author support his opinion in paragraph 5? A. By listing some famous musicians and their works. B. By displaying the historical development of music forms. C. By giving specific examples in different musical situations. D. By making a comparison between different musical instruments. 11. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A. Singing is beneficial to our health both physically and mentally. B. People sing on weddings to express their wishes for a better life. C. Only professional singers can bring music to life with their voices. D. The human voice is less expressive than other musical instruments. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人声是最棒的乐器，阐释其在音乐中的核心地位与独特魅力，还说明歌唱对身心的益处，并鼓励人们放声歌唱。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As midnight approached and the outside turned dark and freezing, one of the farmers suddenly began to sing. His voice echoed (回响) through the silence, high and sharp, singing a folk song about Banna Strand. (随着午夜的临近，外面变得又黑又冷，其中一位农夫突然唱起歌来，他的歌声高亢清脆，在寂静中回荡，唱的是一首关于班纳滩的民谣。)”及第三段“At such moments, singing becomes the soundtrack of our lives.(在这样的时刻，歌唱成了我们生活的原声。)”可知，作者提及此事是为了强调人声的独特魅力。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Borrowing sounds and tones from spoken language, the human voice endows music with a feeling, an emotion, or a story — maybe a tale of a heartless lover, or of a ship that never made it to Banna Strand. (人声从口语中借鉴各种音调和音色，为音乐endows情感、情绪或故事——或许是一个薄情恋人的故事，又或是一艘从未抵达班纳滩的船的故事。)”可知，人声为音乐赋予了情感、情绪或故事，endows意为“提供；赋予”，与Provides意义相近。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“When you listen to Chopin’s gentle pieces, what you hear is a piano imitating the human voice.(当你聆听肖邦舒缓的乐曲时，你听到的是钢琴在模仿人声。)”及“Instead, he sang with his plain 20th-century voice.(相反，他用自己普通的现代嗓音唱了出来。)”可知，作者通过不同音乐场景的具体例子支撑观点。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Singing does us a world of good. Concentrating on singing loudly refreshes both the mind and the body.(歌唱对我们大有裨益。专心放声歌唱能让身心都恢复活力。)”可知，作者认为歌唱对人的身体和心理都有益处。故选A项。 D The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has become deeply part of our daily lives,raising a curious yet thought-provoking question: should we extend human politeness to machines? Beneath this simple question lies a tense conflict between societal politeness and the practical realities of our growing digital interactions. Recently,Sam Altman,CEO of OpenAI,brought public attention to the economic costs hidden in these polite gestures. When a user on the social media wondered about the economic burden of users adding “please” and “thank you” in their interactions with OpenAI’s AI models, Altman confirmed that the costs had reached tens of millions of dollars. This fact cast light on the fact that these seemingly harmless acts of politeness are not as cost-free as people might think. Every interaction with chatbots such as ChatGPT relies on computer power,which in turn consumes electricity. This process involves running algorithms (算法) that are highly energy-intensive. Neil Johnson,a physics professor at George Washington University,compared these extra polite words to product packaging. They do not contribute to the user’s needs, yet the AI must still process them,increasing overall energy use. The environmental impact of this cannot be ignored. As the world struggles with climate change,even small unnecessary waste can contribute to big problems. The energy wasted on processing these polite extra words indirectly adds to carbon footprints,making this a matter that extends beyond individual habits to environmental responsibility. However,there is another side to the argument. Many argue that maintaining politeness in interactions with AI is essential for preserving our humanity. Saying “please” or “thank you” to a machine may seem pointless,but it strengthens these polite behaviors in our interactions with other people. So,where do we draw the line? Perhaps the solution lies in finding a balance. We can be brief in our requests while keeping basic politeness,or AI developers could run algorithms to identify and remove extra polite phrases without sacrificing the user’s desire to be polite. Finally,this problem forces us to reflect on what we value as technology becomes more deeply integrated into our lives. 12. What misunderstanding do people have about politeness with AI? A. It is useless to communicate with AI politely. B. AI will appreciate polite words like humans. C. AI developers can pick out polite phrases easily. D. Polite words to AI cause no extra economic cost. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The ways to reduce energy consumption in AI data processing. B. The severe results of global climate change and carbon emissions. C. The environmental harm caused by polite words in AI interactions. D. The relationship between AI development and environmental protection. 14. According to the author, what is a suitable way to interact with AI? A. To keep basic politeness and make core requests brief. B. To use more polite expressions to keep our humanity fully. C. To ask AI developers to delete all polite phrases in algorithms. D. To avoid using any polite words to cut down all costs completely. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Defending Politeness in Daily Interactions with AI B. Balancing Politeness to AI and Environmental Impacts C. Maintaining Personalities in the Age of Artificial Intelligence D. Reducing Economic Costs in the Age of Artificial Intelligence 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了在人工智能日益融入日常生活的背景下，人们与人工智能交流时是否应保持礼貌这一问题。文章从经济成本和环境影响等方面分析了对人工智能使用礼貌用语带来的弊端，同时也提及保持礼貌对维护人类特性的重要性，最终指出需在两者间找到平衡。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This fact cast light on the fact that these seemingly harmless acts of politeness are not as cost - free as people might think.(这一事实表明，这些看似无害的礼貌行为并不像人们想象的那样无需付出代价)”可知，人们对与人工智能交流时使用礼貌用语存在的误解是认为对人工智能说礼貌用语不会产生额外的经济成本。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段“The environmental impact of this cannot be ignored. As the world struggles with climate change, even small unnecessary waste can contribute to big problems. The energy wasted on processing these polite extra words indirectly adds to carbon footprints, making this a matter that extends beyond individual habits to environmental responsibility.(情况对环境的影响不容忽视。在世界应对气候变化之际，即使是微小的不必要浪费也可能引发大问题。处理这些多余礼貌用语所浪费的能源间接增加了碳足迹，这使得此事超越了个人习惯范畴，上升到环境责任层面)”主要讲述了在与人工智能交流中使用礼貌用语对环境造成的危害。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Perhaps the solution lies in finding a balance. We can be brief in our requests while keeping basic politeness, or AI developers could run algorithms to identify and remove extra polite phrases without sacrificing the user’s desire to be polite.(也许解决方案在于找到一种平衡。我们可以在保持基本礼貌的同时，使请求简洁明了，或者人工智能开发者可以运行算法，在不牺牲用户礼貌意愿的前提下识别并去除多余的礼貌短语)”可知，作者认为与人工智能交流合适的方式是保持基本礼貌并使核心请求简洁。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕与人工智能交流时是否应保持礼貌展开讨论，分析了礼貌用语带来的经济成本和环境影响，同时提及保持礼貌对维护人类特性的作用，强调要在对人工智能保持礼貌和环境影响之间找到平衡，B选项“平衡对人工智能的礼貌与环境影响”能准确概括文章内容，为最佳标题。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Research shows that students who follow structured learning routines can achieve up to 30% higher grades. However, mastering effective study methods is not about working longer — it’s about working smarter. Here are three science-backed strategies designed to help you study more efficiently and improve your academic performance. ____16____ Before starting a study session, it is important to define specific objectives. For example, instead of vaguely (模糊地) aiming to “study English,” you could target “learning 30 new words” or “understanding the main themes of a short story.” This kind of clarity not only helps you maintain focus but also makes it easier to track your progress. Review regularly Human brains tend to forget information over time without reinforcement. ____17____ Spending just 10 minutes each day reviewing notes or key concepts can greatly strengthen long-term memory. Many students find tools like flashcards especially useful for this type of regular review. Schedule breaks ____18____ Studies show that working in 25-minute focused intervals (间隔) followed by 5-minute breaks can significantly boost productivity. During these short breaks, it’s helpful to stretch, drink water, or simply rest your eyes — try to avoid scrolling through your phone, as this can distract your mind and reduce concentration. Organize your space A clean and organized study environment supports clearer thinking. ____19____ Keep only the necessary materials on your desk and silence notifications on your devices to create a calm, distraction-free zone. By applying these methods consistently, you can gradually turn studying from a stressful task into a manageable and even enjoyable routine. ____20____ Keep in mind that small daily improvements often lead to meaningful, long-term results. A. Set clear goals. B. Study step by step. C. For example, color-code subjects in your planner. D. This can be done effectively using timed intervals. E. Always prioritize quality over quantity in learning. F. Physical exercise also enhances mental performance. G. However, spaced repetition helps with this tendency. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. D 19. C 20.

It was from Leo, my childhood best friend who had moved to Argentina three years ago. We had promised to write to each other, but as my high school life got busier with homework and exams, my replies grew slower and fewer, until they stopped altogether without explanation. Yet Leo had never stopped writing, his last letter arriving six months ago, left unanswered on my desk for weeks. Now, holding his new letter gently, I felt a sharp wave of shame welling up in my chest. Carefully opening the envelope, I found no word of blame inside, but a delicate dried butterfly pressed between two transparent sheets of paper. “Finding this beautiful butterfly near my window this morning,” Leo wrote neatly. “It reminded me of the summer we chased butterflies in the old wild field nearby. I hope life is treating you kindly, my dearest friend.” That quiet afternoon, I took the butterfly and walked to the abandoned field, redesigned to be a parking lot soon. Our secret spot under the big oak (橡树) tree was still there, just as we left it. I sat down slowly on the cool grass, the silence broken only by faint distant city sounds. How could I explain my long silence? Heavy exam pressure? Distraction of new friends? All felt like weak excuses for my carelessness. I closed my eyes and memories flooded in: Leo patiently teaching me simple Spanish phrases, his warm laughter when I clumsily spoiled the pronunciation; the cardboard spaceship we built together, sitting side by side and dreaming of exploring distant galaxies hand in hand. The fragile (脆弱的) butterfly in my palm felt light yet heavy, a precious connection to a friendship and a past I had carelessly let slip away. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as I was lost in thought, a shadow fell over me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the butterfly held firmly, I knew exactly what to do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Just as I was lost in thought, a shadow fell over me. I looked up and saw the old field keeper, who had often watched Leo and me play here. He smiled, nodded at the butterfly in my palm, and said true friendship like ours never fades with time. His words touched me deeply, turning my guilt into a strong desire to make amends. I thanked him, my eyes tearful, and the weight in my chest lightened. With the butterfly held firmly, I knew exactly what to do next. I rushed home, took a clean notebook, and wrote to Leo. I poured out our precious memories, apologized sincerely for my long silence, and told him how much our friendship meant to me. I pressed a clover from the oak tree into the letter, sealed it carefully, and sent it that afternoon. No excuse could undo the past, but I hoped my sincerity would mend our bond. As I dropped the envelope into the mailbox, I smiled, confident our friendship would fly again, just like the butterfly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者收到了移居阿根廷三年的童年好友Leo的来信，信中无责备，只有一只干蝴蝶和回忆，作者因此前忙于学业未回信而愧疚，前往作者们儿时的旧地，在守园老人的点拨下，作者写信向Leo真诚道歉、诉说思念，希望修复他们的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在我陷入沉思之时，一片阴影突然笼罩了我”可知，第一段可描写在守园老人的点拨下，作者受到触动，感到内心沉重。 ②由第二段首句内容“紧紧地握住那只蝴蝶后，我清楚地知道接下来该怎么做”可知，第二段可描写作者写信向Leo真诚道歉、诉说思念，希望修复他们的友谊。 2.续写线索：陷入沉思——遇到老人——老人点拨——受到触动——写信道歉——诉说思念 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①急忙：rush/hurry ②看到：see/catch sight of ③触动：touch/move 情绪类 感谢：thank/show gratitude to 真诚：sincerity/genuineness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I looked up and saw the old field keeper, who had often watched Leo and me play here.

Once, while carrying her baby brother, she tripped and fell. Quick-thinking, she landed on her knee, injuring herself but protecting his head. “He was fine,” she said, “I didn’t want him to have a concussion (脑震荡).” It also makes sense why she learned CPR in Girl Scouts. Vada’s parents, Clint and Amanda, are separated but remain close friends. One day, Vada went to visit Clint, who was gardening. When he went inside, his left arm and chest began hurting. “These are signs of a heart attack,” he told Vada. He knew because he’d looked them up. Then he went to take a shower. “Maybe that’ll help.” Even after his hot shower, Clint felt freezing cold. He lay on the sofa and Vada brought him the covers. Soon, he began sweating. Vada knew this sudden body temperature swing was a bad sign. Having left her phone at her mom’s, she put her dad’s in her pocket in case she needed to call for help. When Clint went to the bathroom, Vada followed and waited outside. Suddenly, she heard a heavy crash. Vada became nervous at once. When she rushed in and saw him struggling to breathe on the floor, she forced herself to remain calm and called 911. She told the 911 operator she knew CPR and started performing it on her father under guidance. Vada remembered where to place her hands and how deep to push, hoping she was doing it right. Some time later, the medical team arrived and took over. Vada called Amanda, and she just couldn’t hold back her feelings anymore and cried out loud. When Amanda arrived, one of the rescuers said, “Vada has already done the life-saving part and we’re taking it from there to do everything we can to help him.” Finally, Clint woke up. Amanda shared the news on Facebook, and a Girl Scouts leader presented 11-year-old Vada with the Medal of Honor, one of the organization’s highest honors. 4. Why did Vada go to learn CPR in Girl Scouts? A. She wanted to help others. B. She hoped to get an honor there. C. She was into medical knowledge. D. She was sent there by her parents. 5. What did Vada do after finding Clint feeling unwell? A. She called her mom for help. B. She helped to keep him warm. C. She told him to take a shower. D. She took his body temperature. 6. Which of the following can best describe Vada? A. Skilled but careless. B. Creative and heroic. C. Organized but impatient. D. Caring and cool-headed. 7. What did the rescuer’s words show in paragraph 5? A. Vada did a great job with CPR. B. Clint would wake up soon. C. Clint required another follow-up visit. D. Vada needed to learn more about first aid. C The finest musical instrument is the one we all own and carry with us always: the human voice. A few years ago, several elderly farmers visited my house on Ireland’s windswept Atlantic coast. As midnight approached and the outside turned dark and freezing, one of the farmers suddenly began to sing. His voice echoed (回响) through the silence, high and sharp, singing a folk song about Banna Strand. At such moments, singing becomes the soundtrack of our lives. Everything starts with the first music we ever hear — the voice of our mother. It is people opening their mouths to sing that lend seriousness and ritual (仪式) to occasions like birthdays and weddings. Once the human voice is put into music, no matter whether your preference is Callas, Adele, or Queen, musical instruments are reduced to supporting roles. Like a fingerprint, the voice stamps music with a personal mark and can produce endless variations. Borrowing sounds and tones from spoken language, the human voice endows music with a feeling, an emotion, or a story — maybe a tale of a heartless lover, or of a ship that never made it to Banna Strand. Nearly all forms of music bear signs of the human voice. When you listen to Chopin’s gentle pieces, what you hear is a piano imitating the human voice. When my violin teacher, Clarence Myerscough, wanted me to understand how to phrase a melody, he never showed it with his 17th-century Maggini violin. Instead, he sang with his plain 20th-century voice. Singing does us a world of good. Concentrating on singing loudly refreshes both the mind and the body. The breathing in singing clears our airways, helping to prevent coughs and colds. Belting out a song can also relieve frustrations. Why not test if this works? If you don’t have the confidence to join a local choir (合唱团), you can at least lock yourself safely in the bathroom while taking a shower, open your mouth, take a deep breath, and let out your own voice — even if it is not perfect. Music lies within you. You just need to find it. 8. Why does the author mention the elderly Irish farmer in the text? A. To show the wide spread of folk songs. B. To stress the unique charm of the voice. C. To prove farmers enjoy singing folk songs. D. To share an unforgettable personal experience. 9. What does the underlined word “endows” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Records. B. represents. C. Provides. D. Exchanges. 10. How does the author support his opinion in paragraph 5? A. By listing some famous musicians and their works. B. By displaying the historical development of music forms. C. By giving specific examples in different musical situations. D. By making a comparison between different musical instruments. 11. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A. Singing is beneficial to our health both physically and mentally. B. People sing on weddings to express their wishes for a better life. C. Only professional singers can bring music to life with their voices. D. The human voice is less expressive than other musical instruments. D The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has become deeply part of our daily lives,raising a curious yet thought-provoking question: should we extend human politeness to machines? Beneath this simple question lies a tense conflict between societal politeness and the practical realities of our growing digital interactions. Recently,Sam Altman,CEO of OpenAI,brought public attention to the economic costs hidden in these polite gestures. When a user on the social media wondered about the economic burden of users adding “please” and “thank you” in their interactions with OpenAI’s AI models, Altman confirmed that the costs had reached tens of millions of dollars. This fact cast light on the fact that these seemingly harmless acts of politeness are not as cost-free as people might think. Every interaction with chatbots such as ChatGPT relies on computer power,which in turn consumes electricity. This process involves running algorithms (算法) that are highly energy-intensive. Neil Johnson,a physics professor at George Washington University,compared these extra polite words to product packaging. They do not contribute to the user’s needs, yet the AI must still process them,increasing overall energy use. The environmental impact of this cannot be ignored. As the world struggles with climate change,even small unnecessary waste can contribute to big problems. The energy wasted on processing these polite extra words indirectly adds to carbon footprints,making this a matter that extends beyond individual habits to environmental responsibility. However,there is another side to the argument. Many argue that maintaining politeness in interactions with AI is essential for preserving our humanity. Saying “please” or “thank you” to a machine may seem pointless,but it strengthens these polite behaviors in our interactions with other people. So,where do we draw the line? Perhaps the solution lies in finding a balance. We can be brief in our requests while keeping basic politeness,or AI developers could run algorithms to identify and remove extra polite phrases without sacrificing the user’s desire to be polite. Finally,this problem forces us to reflect on what we value as technology becomes more deeply integrated into our lives. 12. What misunderstanding do people have about politeness with AI? A. It is useless to communicate with AI politely. B. AI will appreciate polite words like humans. C. AI developers can pick out polite phrases easily. D. Polite words to AI cause no extra economic cost. 13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The ways to reduce energy consumption in AI data processing. B. The severe results of global climate change and carbon emissions. C. The environmental harm caused by polite words in AI interactions. D. The relationship between AI development and environmental protection. 14. According to the author, what is a suitable way to interact with AI? A. To keep basic politeness and make core requests brief. B. To use more polite expressions to keep our humanity fully. C. To ask AI developers to delete all polite phrases in algorithms. D. To avoid using any polite words to cut down all costs completely. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Defending Politeness in Daily Interactions with AI B. Balancing Politeness to AI and Environmental Impacts C. Maintaining Personalities in the Age of Artificial Intelligence D.

However, mastering effective study methods is not about working longer — it’s about working smarter. Here are three science-backed strategies designed to help you study more efficiently and improve your academic performance. ____16____ Before starting a study session, it is important to define specific objectives. For example, instead of vaguely (模糊地) aiming to “study English,” you could target “learning 30 new words” or “understanding the main themes of a short story.” This kind of clarity not only helps you maintain focus but also makes it easier to track your progress. Review regularly Human brains tend to forget information over time without reinforcement. ____17____ Spending just 10 minutes each day reviewing notes or key concepts can greatly strengthen long-term memory. Many students find tools like flashcards especially useful for this type of regular review. Schedule breaks ____18____ Studies show that working in 25-minute focused intervals (间隔) followed by 5-minute breaks can significantly boost productivity. During these short breaks, it’s helpful to stretch, drink water, or simply rest your eyes — try to avoid scrolling through your phone, as this can distract your mind and reduce concentration. Organize your space A clean and organized study environment supports clearer thinking. ____19____ Keep only the necessary materials on your desk and silence notifications on your devices to create a calm, distraction-free zone. By applying these methods consistently, you can gradually turn studying from a stressful task into a manageable and even enjoyable routine. ____20____ Keep in mind that small daily improvements often lead to meaningful, long-term results. A. Set clear goals. B. Study step by step. C. For example, color-code subjects in your planner. D. This can be done effectively using timed intervals. E. Always prioritize quality over quantity in learning. F. Physical exercise also enhances mental performance. G. However, spaced repetition helps with this tendency. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’d been fascinated by fishing since I was young, when my older brother would take me to the Sorgue and the other wild rivers.

It was from Leo, my childhood best friend who had moved to Argentina three years ago. We had promised to write to each other, but as my high school life got busier with homework and exams, my replies grew slower and fewer, until they stopped altogether without explanation. Yet Leo had never stopped writing, his last letter arriving six months ago, left unanswered on my desk for weeks. Now, holding his new letter gently, I felt a sharp wave of shame welling up in my chest. Carefully opening the envelope, I found no word of blame inside, but a delicate dried butterfly pressed between two transparent sheets of paper. “Finding this beautiful butterfly near my window this morning,” Leo wrote neatly. “It reminded me of the summer we chased butterflies in the old wild field nearby. I hope life is treating you kindly, my dearest friend.” That quiet afternoon, I took the butterfly and walked to the abandoned field, redesigned to be a parking lot soon. Our secret spot under the big oak (橡树) tree was still there, just as we left it. I sat down slowly on the cool grass, the silence broken only by faint distant city sounds. How could I explain my long silence? Heavy exam pressure? Distraction of new friends? All felt like weak excuses for my carelessness. I closed my eyes and memories flooded in: Leo patiently teaching me simple Spanish phrases, his warm laughter when I clumsily spoiled the pronunciation; the cardboard spaceship we built together, sitting side by side and dreaming of exploring distant galaxies hand in hand. The fragile (脆弱的) butterfly in my palm felt light yet heavy, a precious connection to a friendship and a past I had carelessly let slip away. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just as I was lost in thought, a shadow fell over me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the butterfly held firmly, I knew exactly what to do next. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
