Human Compatible In Human Compatible, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that we can rebuild AI on a new foundation, according to which machines are designed to satisfy humans’ requirements. Such machines would be humble, altruistic (利他的), and committed to pursuing our objectives, not theirs. The Future We Choose Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two possible scenarios (情况) for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2030 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for fighting against the climate crisis with determination and feel confident about the future. Blueprint For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of our biological heritage. But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Beneath all our inventions, we humans naturally desire to create a good society. In Blueprint, Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the idea that despite a human history filled with violence, we cannot escape our social blueprint for goodness. The Precipice In The Precipice, the author argues that humanity’s future is at risk. We face existential disasters like climate change, nuclear war, and more. If we do not act fast to reach a place of safety, it will soon be too late. Drawing on over a decade of research, The Precipice offers a detailed account of the risks we face. 21. What does the new foundation mean according to Stuart Russell? A. AI’s replacing humans. B. AI’s faster development. C. AI’s serving human beings. D. AI’s doing harm to humans. 22. What do Christiana Figueres and Nicholas Christakis have in common? A. They lack confidence in our environment. B. They devote themselves to AI research. C. They reveal the dark side of human nature. D. They are optimistic about the future. 23. What is the purpose of The Precipice? A. To offer a solution. B. To issue a warning. C. To make a prediction. D. To provide a suggestion. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍四本探讨未来的书籍，分别阐述各书核心观点与探讨的未来议题。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Human Compatible”部分中的“In Human Compatible, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that we can rebuild AI on a new foundation, according to which machines are designed to satisfy humans’ requirements.(著名人工智能研究者斯图尔特·拉塞尔认为，我们可以在新的基础上重建人工智能，在这一基础上，机器的设计初衷是满足人类的需求。)”可知，斯图尔特·拉塞尔所说的新基础指的是人工智能为人类服务、满足人类需求。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Future We Choose”部分中的“They argue for fighting against the climate crisis with determination and feel confident about the future.(他们主张坚定地应对气候危机，并对未来充满信心。)”以及“Blueprint”部分中的“Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the idea that despite a human history filled with violence, we cannot escape our social blueprint for goodness.(尼古拉斯·A·克里斯塔基斯提出，尽管人类历史充满暴力，但我们无法摆脱追求美好的社会蓝图。)”可知，克里斯蒂安娜·菲格雷斯和尼古拉斯·A·克里斯塔基斯的共同点是都对未来持乐观态度。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Precipice”部分中的“the author argues that humanity’s future is at risk. We face existential disasters like climate change, nuclear war, and more. If we do not act fast to reach a place of safety, it will soon be too late. Drawing on over a decade of research, The Precipice offers a detailed account of the risks we face.(作者认为人类的未来正处于危险之中。我们面临着气候变化、核战争等生存灾难。如果我们不迅速采取行动抵达安全之地，一切都将为时已晚。《The Precipice基于十多年的研究，详细阐述了我们面临的种种风险。)”可知，The Precipice这本书详细介绍人类面临的生存风险，警示人类未来处境危急，其写作目的是发出警告。故选B项。 B Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won the Tour de France Femmes on August 3, 2025, becoming the first French winner of cycling’s biggest race since 1989. Not since Bernard Hinault last won the men’s Tour de France in 1985 and Jeannie Longo won the women’s edition in 1989 has a French cyclist taken home the yellow jersey, a long, long wait for a nation whose summers have been entwined (缠绕) with the race for more than a century. After retiring from a successful mountain bike career, in which she became the Olympic champion in Paris in 2024, Ferrand-Prévot returned to the road this season with the goal of winning the Tour de France Femmes within three years. In the end, she only needed one. This year’s women’s Tour lasted nine days and covered 1,169 kilometers. 33-year-old Ferrand-Prévot won with a time of 29 hours, 54 minutes, and 24 seconds. In the general classification, she finished three minutes and 42 seconds ahead of 2023 winner Demi Vollering in second and four minutes and nine seconds ahead of defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney. Instead of these former winners, Ferrand-Prévot’s closest challenge on the final day came from Sarah Gigante, who attacked early on the Col de la Madeleine. Gigante was caught and passed by the Frenchwoman but limited her losses to finish second, one minute and 45 seconds back. But even with such a big lead, that last stage was not easy for Ferrand-Prévot. She fell behind her competitors on the valley roads before the first climb of the day, forcing her team to chase and protect her overall lead. Sometimes one biker will go in front to protect her from the wind; sometimes a biker will go as fast as he can to tire out the bikers on the other teams. Finally she recovered, launched a solo (个人的) attack and crossed the line alone. 24. What is special about Ferrand-Prévot’s success? A. It has been awaited for a long time. B. It was first achieved by a French person. C. It was won before the Paris Olympics. D. It took her two years to reach the goal. 25. What is the defending champion’s time in the race? A. 29 hours, 54 minutes, and 24 seconds. B. 29 hours, 58 minutes, and 6 seconds. C. 29 hours, 58 minutes, and 33 seconds. D. 29 hours, 50 minutes, and 15 seconds. 26. What can we learn about Sarah Gigante? A. She once led the race. B. She crossed the line first. C. She launched several solo attacks. D. She finished third last year. 27. What factor is stressed in Ferrand-Prévot’s last stage? A. Powerful leadership. B. Close collaboration. C. Personal strength. D. Intense competition. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述宝琳·费朗-普雷沃2025年夺得环法女子自行车赛冠军，成为1989年后法国首位该赛事冠军，还介绍了赛事过程和她夺冠的关键细节。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Not since Bernard Hinault last won the men’s Tour de France in 1985 and Jeannie Longo won the women’s edition in 1989 has a French cyclist taken home the yellow jersey, a long, long wait for a nation whose summers have been entwined (缠绕) with the race for more than a century. (自贝尔纳·希诺尔1985年最后一次夺得环法男子自行车赛冠军、珍妮·隆戈1989年夺得女子自行车赛冠军以来，再也没有法国自行车选手捧回黄衫，对于这个一个多世纪来夏日都与这项赛事紧密相连的国家来说，这是一段漫长的等待)”可知，费朗-普雷沃的胜利的特别之处在于，法国时隔许久才再次有选手夺得该赛事冠军，这份胜利让法国等待了很久。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“33-year-old Ferrand-Prévot won with a time of 29 hours, 54 minutes, and 24 seconds. In the general classification, she finished three minutes and 42 seconds ahead of 2023 winner Demi Vollering in second and four minutes and nine seconds ahead of defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney.(33岁的费朗-普雷沃以29小时54分24秒的成绩夺冠。在总成绩排名中，她比第二名、2023年冠军黛米·沃勒林领先3分42秒，比卫冕冠军卡西亚·涅维亚多马-菲尼领先4分9秒)”可知，卫冕冠军的成绩是费朗-普雷沃的夺冠成绩加上4分9秒，即29小时58分33秒。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Instead of these former winners, Ferrand-Prévot’s closest challenge on the final day came from Sarah Gigante, who attacked early on the Col de la Madeleine. Gigante was caught and passed by the Frenchwoman but limited her losses to finish second, one minute and 45 seconds back.(在最后一个比赛日，对费朗-普雷沃最接近的挑战并非来自这些往届冠军，而是来自萨拉·吉甘特，她在马德琳山口早早发起进攻。吉甘特被这位法国选手追上并超越，但她将差距控制在最小，最终以1分45秒的差距获得第二名)”可知，萨拉·吉甘特在比赛中早早发起进攻，说明她曾在比赛中处于领先位置。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“She fell behind her competitors on the valley roads before the first climb of the day, forcing her team to chase and protect her overall lead. Sometimes one biker will go in front to protect her from the wind; sometimes a biker will go as fast as he can to tire out the bikers on the other teams.(在当天的第一次爬坡前，她在山谷路段落后于对手，这迫使她的车队奋力追赶，维护她的总成绩领先优势。有时一名队员会冲到前面为她挡风；有时一名队员会拼尽全力骑行，让其他车队的选手筋疲力尽)”可知，在最后一个赛段费朗-普雷沃落后时，她的车队通过各种方式为她保驾护航，文章着重强调了车队成员之间紧密的协作这一因素。故选B项。 C A team of scientists from the University of Plymouth in the UK placed radishes (a type of vegetable) into a water-based system containing nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒). After five days, almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots. A quarter of those were in the safe-to-eat, fleshy roots, while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots, despite built-in features within the plants that typically screen harmful material from the soil. Plants have a layer within their roots called the Casparian strip (凯氏带), which should act as a form of filter (过滤) against particles, many of which can be harmful. This is the first time that a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that protective barrier, with the potential for them to build up within plants and be passed on to anything that consumes them. The findings suggest even fresh, healthy food products can contain millions of tiny plastic pieces per bite, many as small as a millionth of a centimeter. There are some limitations to the study, as it didn’t use a real-world farming setup. The amount of plastics in the liquid is higher than that in soil, and only one type of plastic and one kind of vegetable were tested. Nevertheless, the basic principle stands: The smallest plastic nanoparticles can apparently pass through protective barriers in plants, and from there into the food we eat. Given the rapid spread of plastic pollution, this could be happening globally on the largest possible scale. There is no reason to believe this is unique to this vegetable, with the clear possibility that nanoplastics are being absorbed into various types of produce being grown all over the world. “This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables,” says marine biologist Richard Thompson. “Moreover, this work contributes to our understanding of build-up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health.” 28. What is the function of the Casparian strip? A. It stores water for plants during dry periods. B. It serves as a barrier against harmful particles. C. It produces chemicals to fight against diseases. D. It helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently. 29. What limitation of the study is mentioned in the text? A. The researchers used unrealistic plastic amount. B. The scientists tested too many types of vegetables. C. The plastic particles were too small to detect easily. D. The experiment lasted for an insufficient time period. 30. What is Richard Thompson’s attitude towards the research? A. Dismissive. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Favorable. 31. Which would be the most suitable title for the text? A. The Severity of Food Safety Issues B. A Breakthrough in Agricultural Technology C. How Plastic Particles Enter Our Food Chain D. What the Most Plastic-Resistant Vegetable Is 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国普利茅斯大学的一项研究，发现纳米塑料微粒能够突破植物根部的凯氏带屏障进入食用部分，并通过食物链传递，进而探讨了其对全球食品安全和人类健康的潜在影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“Plants have a layer within their roots called the Casparian strip, which should act as a form of filter against particles, many of which can be harmful.(植物的根部有一层名为凯氏带的结构，它本应充当抵御微粒的过滤器，其中许多微粒都具有危害性。)”可知，凯氏带的作用是作为抵御有害微粒的屏障。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第3段中“There are some limitations to the study, as it didn’t use a real-world farming setup. The amount of plastics in the liquid is higher than that in soil(这项研究存在一些局限性，因为它并未采用现实中的农业种植环境，实验液体中的塑料含量高于土壤中的含量)”可知，该研究的局限性之一是研究人员使用了不切实际的塑料含量。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第5段中“‘This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables,’ says marine biologist Richard Thompson. ‘Moreover, this work contributes to our understanding of build-up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health.’(海洋生物学家理查德·汤普森说：‘这项研究提供了明确的证据，证明环境中的微粒不仅会在海产品中累积，也会在蔬菜中累积。此外，这项研究有助于我们了解微塑料和纳米塑料的累积情况，以及它们对人类健康可能产生的有害影响。’)”可知，理查德·汤普森对这项研究持认可、支持的态度。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第1段中“After five days, almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots. A quarter of those were in the safe-to-eat, fleshy roots, while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots(五天后，近5%的纳米塑料进入了萝卜根。其中四分之一是在可以安全食用的肉质根部，而十分之一是在更高的叶芽上)”实验发现纳米塑料微粒进入萝卜根部、可食用部分和茎叶，第4段中“the smallest plastic nanoparticles can apparently pass through protective barriers in plants, and from there into the food we eat(最小的塑料纳米微粒显然能穿过植物的保护屏障，并由此进入我们所食用的食物)”以及全文围绕纳米塑料微粒如何进入植物、进而进入人类食物展开介绍可知，“塑料微粒如何进入我们的食物链”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 D Engineers at the University of Massachusetts have developed an artificial neuron (神经元) like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological neuron in a remarkably lifelike, quiet way. The cell-to-cell flow of electrical information involves the same voltage (电压) and energy consumption as natural neuron communication. The breakthrough is a first in the field, somewhat reducing the distance between our brains and our computers. Scientists have been developing artificial brain cells and connecting them to complex machines for years now, but their simple functions pale in comparison to those in our brains. This newest creation is closer than ever to imitating the real thing. “Previous versions of artificial neurons used10 times more voltage — and 100 times more power — than the one we have created,” says engineer Jun Yao. That’s like an artificial neuron “screaming” at the top of its lungs to a typical human neuron. All that hollering takes a lot of energy, and if it’s too loud, the receiver may be overwhelmed and miss the key of the message. What Yao has created is an artificial neuron that essentially can “whisper” to a natural one. “Ours registers only 0.1 volts, which is about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao. Other scientists have gotten artificial neurons to communicate with real brain cells in less natural ways — for example, through the use of light. But this new breakthrough copies a more conventional system. The key in this case was to use protein nanowires (纳米线) grown by bacteria. Because these structures are naturally obtained, they can survive in wet environments like real neurons. Models like these advance the potential for neuromorphic integration. We currently have all kinds of wearable electronic sensing systems, but they are comparatively awkward and inefficient. Every time they sense a signal from our body, they have to electrically strengthen it so that a computer can analyze it. That intermediate step of strengthening increases both power consumption and the circuit’s complexity, but sensors built with the low-voltage neurons could do without any strengthening at all. 32. How does the new artificial neuron compare with natural ones? A. It’s less likely to collapse. B. It’s more complex. C. It consumes more energy. D. It shows equal efficiency. 33. What does the underlined word “hollering” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Whispering. B. Shouting. C. Speeding. D. Waiting. 34. Which is a crucial factor in the breakthrough? A. The use of protein nanowires grown by bacteria. B. The development of new computer programming methods. C. The discovery of how to use light for neuron communication. D. The invention of special strengthening equipment for signals. 35. What future application is suggested for the new neurons? A. Faster computer games. B. Smaller smartphones. C. Better wearable devices. D. Brighter screens. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了马萨诸塞大学工程师开发出的一种新型人工神经元，其电压与能耗均与生物神经元相当，实现了更自然、高效的“细胞间”通信，并展望了其在可穿戴设备等领域的应用潜力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The cell-to-cell flow of electrical information involves the same voltage and energy consumption as natural neuron communication.(细胞间的电流信息传输涉及与自然神经元通信相同的电压和能量消耗。)”可知，新型人工神经元与自然神经元在电压和能耗上一致，体现出同等的效率。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“That’s like an artificial neuron ‘screaming’ at the top of its lungs to a typical human neuron. All that hollering takes a lot of energy.(这就像一个人工神经元对着人类普通神经元‘大声尖叫’。所有这些……需要大量能量)”可知，hollering与前文的screaming表意一致，意为“叫嚷、大喊”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The key in this case was to use protein nanowires grown by bacteria.(此次突破的关键在于使用了由细菌培育的蛋白质纳米线。)”可知，该突破的核心关键因素是细菌培育的蛋白质纳米线的使用。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“We currently have all kinds of wearable electronic sensing systems, but they are comparatively awkward and inefficient(我们目前有各类可穿戴电子传感系统，但这些系统相对笨重且低效)”和“sensors built with the low-voltage neurons could do without any strengthening at all.(用这种低压神经元制造的传感器则完全无需信号增强。)”可知，新神经元未来可应用于改进可穿戴设备。故选C。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As teachers, we all say our job is to prepare kids for the real world. But too often, we mean the world of our parents or grandparents. The truth is that our students are stepping into a future where AI is everywhere. At its core, AI is built on pattern recognition and replication (复制). ____36____: How much of the world runs on patterns that can be automated? And how much of school is training kids to master predictable patterns — worksheets, formulas, five-paragraph essays — that AI can now do in seconds? ____37____. Instead of training kids to reproduce what’s already been done, we should challenge them to imagine new solutions to real problems — and then decide where, or if, AI belongs in the process. Does AI use in schools mean cheating? That depends on how we define cheating. Cheating is only breaking the rules we set, and our rules were built for an education system designed to produce factory workers. For over a century, schools trained kids to read large amounts of information, memorize it, and reproduce it in predictable formats. ____38____. In that sense, yes — it “breaks” the old system. But the real question isn’t whether students are cheating. The question is: ____39____? If a task can be completed convincingly by AI, maybe the problem isn’t the student — it’s the assignment. Instead of banning the technology, we should encourage students to use it creatively, to solve problems in their communities, and to think bigger than a five-paragraph essay. ____40____ — but it will expose whether we’re preparing kids for the past or empowering them to imagine the future. A. AI won’t replace teachers or students B. That should force us to ask two questions C. Will AI provide us with accurate information D. Do we have the courage to design a better system E. The opportunity lies in reshaping the existing model F. Now we have a tool that can do all of that faster and better G. With AI, a student can analyze solutions and brainstorm new ones 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. F 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。探讨人工智能时代的教育变革，指出应摒弃旧有模式，引导学生创新思考，合理运用AI，为未来而非过去培养孩子。 【36题详解】 根据前文“At its core, AI is built on pattern recognition and replication (复制). (人工智能的核心是建立在模式识别和复制的基础上的。)”以及后文“How much of the world runs on patterns that can be automated? And how much of school is training kids to master predictable patterns — worksheets, formulas, five- paragraph essays — that AI can now do in seconds? (世界上有多少事物是依靠可自动化的模式运行的？学校又在多大程度上训练孩子们掌握那些可预测的模式——比如作业单、公式、五段式作文，而这些现在人工智能几秒钟就能完成？)”可知，前文点明人工智能的核心特点，后文接连提出两个相关问题，此空应衔接二者，说明人工智能的这一特点促使我们提出两个问题，B选项“That should force us to ask two questions (这应该促使我们提出两个问题)”中的That指代前文人工智能基于模式识别和复制的核心特点，且引出后文的两个具体问题，符合语境。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Instead of training kids to reproduce what’s already been done, we should challenge them to imagine new solutions to real problems — and then decide where, or if, AI belongs in the process. (我们不应再训练孩子重复做已经做过的事，而应鼓励他们为实际问题设想新的解决方案，然后决定人工智能在这个过程中该发挥什么作用，或者是否该参与其中。)”可知，后文提出应摒弃让孩子重复已有内容的旧教育模式，转而培养其创新能力，此空应点明教育的机遇在于重塑现有的模式，E选项“The opportunity lies in reshaping the existing model (机遇在于重塑现有的模式)”引出后文对新教育模式的具体设想，符合语境。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“For over a century, schools trained kids to read large amounts of information, memorize it, and reproduce it in predictable formats. (一个多世纪以来，学校一直训练孩子们阅读大量信息、记住这些信息，并以可预测的形式将其复述出来。)”以及后文“In that sense, yes — it “breaks” the old system. (从这个意义上说，答案是肯定的——它打破了旧的体系。)”可知，前文说明旧教育体系的培养模式，后文指出某一事物打破了该体系，此空应说明人工智能这一工具能更快更好地完成旧模式要求的这些事，F选项“Now we have a tool that can do all of that faster and better (现在我们有了一个工具，能更快更好地完成所有这些事)”中的all of that指代前文阅读、记忆、复述大量信息的行为，且该工具即人工智能，承接前文并引出后文其打破旧体系的结论，符合语境。故选F项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“But the real question isn’t whether students are cheating. The question is: (但真正的问题不在于学生是否在作弊。问题在于：)”以及后文“If a task can be completed convincingly by AI, maybe the problem isn’t the student — it’s the assignment. (如果一项任务人工智能能出色地完成，那么问题可能不在于学生，而在于作业本身。)”可知，前文提出真正的问题并非学生作弊，后文指出若AI能完成任务则问题在作业，此空应提出真正的问题是我们是否有勇气设计更好的教育体系，D选项“Do we have the courage to design a better system (我们是否有勇气设计一个更好的体系)”承接前文的问题转折，且与后文对教育任务设计的反思相契合，符合语境。故选D项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Instead of banning the technology, we should encourage students to use it creatively, to solve problems in their communities, and to think bigger than a five-paragraph essay. (我们不应禁止这项技术，而应鼓励学生创造性地使用它，解决社区中的问题，进行超越五段式作文的更宏大的思考。)”以及后文“— but it will expose whether we’re preparing kids for the past or empowering them to imagine the future. (——但它会揭示我们是在为过去培养孩子，还是在赋予他们想象未来的能力。)”可知，前文提出应鼓励学生创新使用AI，后文以转折说明AI的存在能检验教育的方向，此空应先点明AI不会取代老师和学生这一观点，A选项“AI won’t replace teachers or students (人工智能不会取代老师和学生)”承接前文的AI使用建议，且与后文的转折内容形成衔接，符合语境。故选A项。 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 For many children, the idea of surgery is scary.

The celebration was to welcome a new member to our family, my nephew. My eldest sister gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy and he was the first grandchild of my parents. After seeing the newborn baby for the first time, my father declared that this was a really special occasion and that we must celebrate to welcome the newest member into our family. So we all got to work straight away, organizing and planning for the party: My parents set out to invite all the guests and did the necessary shopping while my grandmother and sister cooked a lot of delicious food. My younger brother and I were tasked with decorating the house — a job we embraced with perhaps too much enthusiasm. We dragged boxes of old party supplies from the attic (阁楼),blowing dust off faded paper lanterns and tangled strings of lights. In our rush, I accidentally knocked over a large vase that had been a wedding gift to my parents. It broke on the floor with a sound that seemed to echo (回荡) through the entire house. We froze, staring at each other in horror. My mother, hearing the crash, rushed into the room. For a moment, her face fell, and I was ready for blame. But then she simply sighed, a small smile touching her lips. “Well,” she said, “that old vase has seen enough quiet years. Perhaps it’s fitting that it makes way for new, louder joy.” Her forgiveness felt like a gift itself, and we cleaned up the mess with renewed care. Then the real crisis struck the morning of the party. A sudden summer storm rolled in, with thunder booming and rain beating against the windows. The garden, where we had planned to set up tables and chairs, was quickly turning into a muddy pond. My father was upset as he watched the weather report. 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。 The celebration we had worked so hard for seemed to be on the edge of ruin.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The guests arrived one after another, joining us in the indoor celebration._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The celebration we had worked so hard for seemed to be on the edge of ruin. Everyone stopped their work, staring at the pouring rain with disappointment. My father paced anxiously, muttering about the wasted preparations for the garden. But my mother quickly calmed us down, saying, “We just need to move everything indoors!” We all sprang into action at once: moving tables and chairs from the garden to the living room and dining room, hanging the lanterns on the walls, and placing the delicious food on every available surface. My brother and I even added some fairy lights around the stairs, making the house warm and bright. In no time, the messy rooms turned into a cozy party space. The guests arrived one after another, joining us in the indoor celebration. They all praised the warm decoration and the delicious food, not minding the last-minute change at all. We gathered around the newborn baby, taking turns to hold him gently and sending our best wishes. Laughter and talking filled every corner of the house, mixing with the sound of rain outside. My father raised his cup, saying, “This storm can’t stop our joy for the new life!” Everyone cheered. That day, I learned that the best celebrations aren’t about perfect plans, but about the love and togetherness that make every moment special. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者儿时为迎接家中第一个孙辈——外甥举办庆祝派对，作者和弟弟装饰时打碎父母的结婚花瓶，母亲选择原谅。派对当天突遇暴雨，原定的花园场地被毁，一家人迅速将布置移至室内。宾客到来后欢聚一堂，这场充满小意外的庆祝，让作者懂得爱与团聚才是庆祝的核心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们精心筹备的这场庆祝活动似乎即将失败。”可知，第一段可描写派对当天突遇暴雨，原定的花园场地被毁，一家人迅速将布置移至室内。 ②由第二段首句内容“客人一个接一个地到来，和我们一起在室内庆祝。”可知，第二段可描写宾客到来后欢聚一堂，这场充满小意外的庆祝，让作者懂得爱与团聚才是庆祝的核心。 2.续写线索：活动似乎即将失败——母亲迅速让我们平静下来——将布置移至室内——宾客的到来——笑声和交谈声充满了房子——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①变成：turned into/transformed into ②立刻行动起来：sprang into action /act immediately ③意识到：learn/ be aware of 情绪类 ①焦虑地：anxiously/ worriedly ②喜悦：joy /delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Human Compatible In Human Compatible, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that we can rebuild AI on a new foundation, according to which machines are designed to satisfy humans’ requirements. Such machines would be humble, altruistic (利他的), and committed to pursuing our objectives, not theirs. The Future We Choose Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two possible scenarios (情况) for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2030 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for fighting against the climate crisis with determination and feel confident about the future. Blueprint For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of our biological heritage. But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Beneath all our inventions, we humans naturally desire to create a good society. In Blueprint, Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the idea that despite a human history filled with violence, we cannot escape our social blueprint for goodness. The Precipice In The Precipice, the author argues that humanity’s future is at risk. We face existential disasters like climate change, nuclear war, and more. If we do not act fast to reach a place of safety, it will soon be too late. Drawing on over a decade of research, The Precipice offers a detailed account of the risks we face. 21. What does the new foundation mean according to Stuart Russell? A. AI’s replacing humans. B. AI’s faster development. C. AI’s serving human beings. D. AI’s doing harm to humans. 22. What do Christiana Figueres and Nicholas Christakis have in common? A. They lack confidence in our environment. B. They devote themselves to AI research. C. They reveal the dark side of human nature. D. They are optimistic about the future. 23. What is the purpose of The Precipice? A. To offer a solution. B. To issue a warning. C. To make a prediction. D. To provide a suggestion. B Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won the Tour de France Femmes on August 3, 2025, becoming the first French winner of cycling’s biggest race since 1989. Not since Bernard Hinault last won the men’s Tour de France in 1985 and Jeannie Longo won the women’s edition in 1989 has a French cyclist taken home the yellow jersey, a long, long wait for a nation whose summers have been entwined (缠绕) with the race for more than a century. After retiring from a successful mountain bike career, in which she became the Olympic champion in Paris in 2024, Ferrand-Prévot returned to the road this season with the goal of winning the Tour de France Femmes within three years. In the end, she only needed one. This year’s women’s Tour lasted nine days and covered 1,169 kilometers. 33-year-old Ferrand-Prévot won with a time of 29 hours, 54 minutes, and 24 seconds. In the general classification, she finished three minutes and 42 seconds ahead of 2023 winner Demi Vollering in second and four minutes and nine seconds ahead of defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney. Instead of these former winners, Ferrand-Prévot’s closest challenge on the final day came from Sarah Gigante, who attacked early on the Col de la Madeleine. Gigante was caught and passed by the Frenchwoman but limited her losses to finish second, one minute and 45 seconds back. But even with such a big lead, that last stage was not easy for Ferrand-Prévot. She fell behind her competitors on the valley roads before the first climb of the day, forcing her team to chase and protect her overall lead. Sometimes one biker will go in front to protect her from the wind; sometimes a biker will go as fast as he can to tire out the bikers on the other teams. Finally she recovered, launched a solo (个人的) attack and crossed the line alone. 24. What is special about Ferrand-Prévot’s success? A. It has been awaited for a long time. B. It was first achieved by a French person. C. It was won before the Paris Olympics. D. It took her two years to reach the goal. 25. What is the defending champion’s time in the race? A. 29 hours, 54 minutes, and 24 seconds. B. 29 hours, 58 minutes, and 6 seconds. C. 29 hours, 58 minutes, and 33 seconds. D. 29 hours, 50 minutes, and 15 seconds. 26. What can we learn about Sarah Gigante? A. She once led the race. B. She crossed the line first. C. She launched several solo attacks. D. She finished third last year. 27. What factor is stressed in Ferrand-Prévot’s last stage? A. Powerful leadership. B. Close collaboration. C. Personal strength. D. Intense competition. C A team of scientists from the University of Plymouth in the UK placed radishes (a type of vegetable) into a water-based system containing nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒). After five days, almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots. A quarter of those were in the safe-to-eat, fleshy roots, while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots, despite built-in features within the plants that typically screen harmful material from the soil. Plants have a layer within their roots called the Casparian strip (凯氏带), which should act as a form of filter (过滤) against particles, many of which can be harmful. This is the first time that a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that protective barrier, with the potential for them to build up within plants and be passed on to anything that consumes them. The findings suggest even fresh, healthy food products can contain millions of tiny plastic pieces per bite, many as small as a millionth of a centimeter. There are some limitations to the study, as it didn’t use a real-world farming setup. The amount of plastics in the liquid is higher than that in soil, and only one type of plastic and one kind of vegetable were tested. Nevertheless, the basic principle stands: The smallest plastic nanoparticles can apparently pass through protective barriers in plants, and from there into the food we eat. Given the rapid spread of plastic pollution, this could be happening globally on the largest possible scale. There is no reason to believe this is unique to this vegetable, with the clear possibility that nanoplastics are being absorbed into various types of produce being grown all over the world. “This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables,” says marine biologist Richard Thompson. “Moreover, this work contributes to our understanding of build-up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health.” 28. What is the function of the Casparian strip? A. It stores water for plants during dry periods. B. It serves as a barrier against harmful particles. C. It produces chemicals to fight against diseases. D. It helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently. 29. What limitation of the study is mentioned in the text? A. The researchers used unrealistic plastic amount. B. The scientists tested too many types of vegetables. C. The plastic particles were too small to detect easily. D. The experiment lasted for an insufficient time period. 30. What is Richard Thompson’s attitude towards the research? A. Dismissive. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Favorable. 31. Which would be the most suitable title for the text? A. The Severity of Food Safety Issues B. A Breakthrough in Agricultural Technology C. How Plastic Particles Enter Our Food Chain D. What the Most Plastic-Resistant Vegetable Is D Engineers at the University of Massachusetts have developed an artificial neuron (神经元) like no other. In experiments, their newly created model was able to directly communicate with a biological neuron in a remarkably lifelike, quiet way. The cell-to-cell flow of electrical information involves the same voltage (电压) and energy consumption as natural neuron communication. The breakthrough is a first in the field, somewhat reducing the distance between our brains and our computers. Scientists have been developing artificial brain cells and connecting them to complex machines for years now, but their simple functions pale in comparison to those in our brains. This newest creation is closer than ever to imitating the real thing. “Previous versions of artificial neurons used10 times more voltage — and 100 times more power — than the one we have created,” says engineer Jun Yao. That’s like an artificial neuron “screaming” at the top of its lungs to a typical human neuron. All that hollering takes a lot of energy, and if it’s too loud, the receiver may be overwhelmed and miss the key of the message. What Yao has created is an artificial neuron that essentially can “whisper” to a natural one. “Ours registers only 0.1 volts, which is about the same as the neurons in our bodies,” says Yao. Other scientists have gotten artificial neurons to communicate with real brain cells in less natural ways — for example, through the use of light. But this new breakthrough copies a more conventional system. The key in this case was to use protein nanowires (纳米线) grown by bacteria. Because these structures are naturally obtained, they can survive in wet environments like real neurons. Models like these advance the potential for neuromorphic integration. We currently have all kinds of wearable electronic sensing systems, but they are comparatively awkward and inefficient. Every time they sense a signal from our body, they have to electrically strengthen it so that a computer can analyze it. That intermediate step of strengthening increases both power consumption and the circuit’s complexity, but sensors built with the low-voltage neurons could do without any strengthening at all. 32. How does the new artificial neuron compare with natural ones? A. It’s less likely to collapse. B. It’s more complex. C. It consumes more energy. D. It shows equal efficiency. 33. What does the underlined word “hollering” in paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Whispering. B. Shouting. C. Speeding. D. Waiting. 34. Which is a crucial factor in the breakthrough? A. The use of protein nanowires grown by bacteria. B. The development of new computer programming methods. C. The discovery of how to use light for neuron communication. D. The invention of special strengthening equipment for signals. 35. What future application is suggested for the new neurons? A. Faster computer games. B. Smaller smartphones. C. Better wearable devices. D. Brighter screens. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As teachers, we all say our job is to prepare kids for the real world. But too often, we mean the world of our parents or grandparents. The truth is that our students are stepping into a future where AI is everywhere. At its core, AI is built on pattern recognition and replication (复制). ____36____: How much of the world runs on patterns that can be automated? And how much of school is training kids to master predictable patterns — worksheets, formulas, five-paragraph essays — that AI can now do in seconds? ____37____. Instead of training kids to reproduce what’s already been done, we should challenge them to imagine new solutions to real problems — and then decide where, or if, AI belongs in the process. Does AI use in schools mean cheating? That depends on how we define cheating. Cheating is only breaking the rules we set, and our rules were built for an education system designed to produce factory workers. For over a century, schools trained kids to read large amounts of information, memorize it, and reproduce it in predictable formats. ____38____. In that sense, yes — it “breaks” the old system. But the real question isn’t whether students are cheating. The question is: ____39____? If a task can be completed convincingly by AI, maybe the problem isn’t the student — it’s the assignment. Instead of banning the technology, we should encourage students to use it creatively, to solve problems in their communities, and to think bigger than a five-paragraph essay. ____40____ — but it will expose whether we’re preparing kids for the past or empowering them to imagine the future. A. AI won’t replace teachers or students B. That should force us to ask two questions C. Will AI provide us with accurate information D. Do we have the courage to design a better system E. The opportunity lies in reshaping the existing model F. Now we have a tool that can do all of that faster and better G. With AI, a student can analyze solutions and brainstorm new ones 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和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 For many children, the idea of surgery is scary.

Superhero costumes. “I let the child choose which one they want to wear,” Guimarães explained. “I tell them we will go in ‘flying’ or running and that we are going to ___48___ their nose and ears. I enter the surgical room when they are ready and ___49___ the game.” Dr. Leandro even ___50___ parents to join if a child is still nervous. The goal is always the same — to make the experience more ___51___. Dr. Leandro ___52___ the joyful entrances, sometimes running alongside kids dressed as Batman, Spider-Man, or Wonder Woman, and shares the videos with parents. “They ___53___ it because they can show their children how brave they were!” he said. By turning ___54___ steps into superhero strides (大步), Dr. Guimarães shows that medicine is about more than procedures — it’s about humanity.

The celebration was to welcome a new member to our family, my nephew. My eldest sister gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy and he was the first grandchild of my parents. After seeing the newborn baby for the first time, my father declared that this was a really special occasion and that we must celebrate to welcome the newest member into our family. So we all got to work straight away, organizing and planning for the party: My parents set out to invite all the guests and did the necessary shopping while my grandmother and sister cooked a lot of delicious food. My younger brother and I were tasked with decorating the house — a job we embraced with perhaps too much enthusiasm. We dragged boxes of old party supplies from the attic (阁楼),blowing dust off faded paper lanterns and tangled strings of lights. In our rush, I accidentally knocked over a large vase that had been a wedding gift to my parents. It broke on the floor with a sound that seemed to echo (回荡) through the entire house. We froze, staring at each other in horror. My mother, hearing the crash, rushed into the room. For a moment, her face fell, and I was ready for blame. But then she simply sighed, a small smile touching her lips. “Well,” she said, “that old vase has seen enough quiet years. Perhaps it’s fitting that it makes way for new, louder joy.” Her forgiveness felt like a gift itself, and we cleaned up the mess with renewed care. Then the real crisis struck the morning of the party. A sudden summer storm rolled in, with thunder booming and rain beating against the windows. The garden, where we had planned to set up tables and chairs, was quickly turning into a muddy pond. My father was upset as he watched the weather report. 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。 The celebration we had worked so hard for seemed to be on the edge of ruin.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The guests arrived one after another, joining us in the indoor celebration._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
