I’ve felt an incredible change after taking part in volunteer work over the past three months. It’s such magic. I’ve met new people and learned valuable knowledge. What’s more, while helping others, I’ve also received a lot of appreciation from others, which gives me a sense of fulfillment. Many people want to do volunteer work but fail to take action for various reasons. Most people claim they are too busy to volunteer. I used to think so. However, when I started volunteering, such a barrier naturally disappeared. I could arrange my schedule and balance volunteer work and other issues quite well. Apart from that, people are also concerned about lacking the skills and experience to match with volunteer work. Actually, there are different kinds of volunteer work, and most of the work does not require special skills at all. What really matters is the time you give. Some people may also think it is difficult to find the groups that need help because they have no such connections with them. But the truth is that the right volunteer groups are rather easy to approach. So, if you have any interest in volunteering, just take action, and it will change your life. 第二部分 阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Water conservancy projects are key to human life. Below are four typical ones from different times and places. The Three Gorges Project The Three Gorges Project, the world’s biggest water conservancy project, lies on the Yangtze River. Completed in 2020, it consists of a concrete gravity dam, sluice gates, a hydropower station and navigation facilities. As the world’s largest hydropower station, it has greatly improved navigation conditions and supplies over 20 billion cubic meters of water to the Yangtze’s middle and lower reaches yearly. The Kerez System The Kerez, once called “well canals”, is an underground water conservancy project with a history of over 2,000 years. Created by people in little rain areas like Turpan and Hami in Xinjiang, it turns deserts into oases. Without being affected by evaporation in dry areas, the Kerez can realize gravity flow irrigation all year round. This ancient project fully shows the wisdom of ancient people in adapting to arid natural environments and utilizing water resources. The Hoover Dam The Hoover Dam, a landmark project on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona in the US, was built from 1931 to 1936. As a concrete arch gravity dam, it stands 221. 4 meters high, with a top width of 13. 6 meters and a bottom width of 202 meters. It also controls floods effectively and supplies irrigation water, which greatly promotes the agricultural development of the surrounding areas. Its construction applied advanced technologies at that time, setting an example for modern large- scale water conservancy projects. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a major inter- basin water diversion project in China, built to solve the uneven distribution of water resources between northern and southern China. The project has improved the water supply conditions for production and daily life in northern China, and also played a positive role in maintaining the ecological balance of the relevant river basins. 21. What sets The Kerez System apart from others? A. Its long history. B. Its fair landscape. C. Its navigation facilities. D. Its advanced technologies. 22. What can we learn about the Hoover Dam from the text? A. It attaches great significance to ecology. B. It demonstrates the intelligence of people. C. It greatly strengthens the local agriculture. D. It was completed more than a hundred years ago. 23. What role does the South-to-North Water Diversion Project play? A. To manage floods. B. To settle the water imbalance. C. To generate clean electricity. D. To improve navigation conditions. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了四个不同时期和地区具有代表性的水利工程及其特点与作用。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Kerez System部分中“The Kerez, once called “well canals”, is an underground water conservancy project with a history of over 2,000 years.(坎儿井，曾被称为‘井渠’，是一项有着2000多年历史的地下水利工程)”可知，坎儿井系统与其他水利工程不同的地方在于它悠久的历史。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Hoover Dam部分中“It also controls floods effectively and supplies irrigation water, which greatly promotes the agricultural development of the surrounding areas.(它还能有效控制洪水，提供灌溉用水，极大地促进了周边地区的农业发展)”可知，胡佛大坝极大地促进了当地农业的发展。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The South-to-North Water Diversion Project部分中“The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a major inter- basin water diversion project in China, built to solve the uneven distribution of water resources between northern and southern China. The project has improved the water supply conditions for production and daily life in northern China, and also played a positive role in maintaining the ecological balance of the relevant river basins.(南水北调工程是中国一项重大的跨流域调水工程，旨在解决中国南北水资源分布不均的问题。该工程改善了中国北方生产和生活用水供应条件，对维护相关流域的生态平衡也发挥了积极作用。)”可知，南水北调工程的作用是解决水资源不平衡问题。故选B。 B On the evening of August 16, 2024, doctoral student Pang Zhongwang from Tsinghua University was named a “Touching China” 2024 Awardee. His story, from a young man who overcame immense sufferings to an inspiring figure, has warmed and motivated countless hearts. Pang Zhongwang was born in February 1999. In his childhood, he helped take care of his family and his mother. Though life was tough, he never gave up and worked extremely hard. The walls of his house were covered with awards from primary school to high school. He wrote in his diary, “Since hardship chose you, you can leave it behind and embrace the sunshine.” With this faith, he achieved excellent academic results and scored 684 in the college entrance exam in 2017, which earned him a place at Tsinghua University. To relieve the family’s burden, Pang Zhongwang did some work in his spare time during college and took out loans to pay off family debts. After getting his bachelor’s degree in 2021, he continued his PhD studies at Tsinghua. While faced with financial struggles, Pang notably refused financial help from entrepreneurs. Now, he is doing well in his PhD program and has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. One night, when taking a shower, he suddenly solved a tough research problem, which led to his first SCI paper. Later, he also obtained his first invention patent and published many papers. The person who had the deepest impact on him was his mother, born with spina bifida (脊柱裂), who passed away in 2020 at the age of 48. “I found it hard to express my feelings to my mother when she was alive. I might have just told her, ‘Look, I’m doing pretty well’,” Pang recalled. His mother once told the media, “This child is my greatest hope. I never went to school, so I deeply admire educated people. I always urged him to study hard.” Pang attributes his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged me to look forward. She smiled every day, so why should I linger on sadness?” His recent speech remark — “Our generation’s mission is to serve the country through scientific research” — has gone viral on social media, with netizens praising him as an inspiration for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. 24. Why did Pang do part-time jobs during college? A. To assist other students in need. B. To save money for his PhD studies. C. To ease his family’s financial issues. D. To gain work experience for future jobs. 25. What could best reflect the influence of Pang’s mother on him? A. Her lack of education made him get into a top university. B. Her encouragement shaped his positive attitude towards life. C. Her disability drove him to pursue a career in medical research. D. Her expectation for him motivated him to decline others’ help. 26. What might be the reason why Pang was regarded as an example for youth? A. He took good care of his mother and paid off the family debts. B. He published several papers and even got an invention patent. C. He scored 684 in exam and was admitted to Tsinghua University. D. He overcame hardships and committed himself to serving the country. 27. What does Pang Zhongwang’s story mainly convey? A. The importance of family wealth for academic success. B. The difficulty for poor students to be admitted to top universities. C. The process to become a think-tank specialist at a very young age. D. The procedure to achieve goals through perseverance despite hardships. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了清华博士生庞众望克服重重困难、励志成才并激励无数人的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To relieve the family’s burden, Pang Zhongwang did some work in his spare time during college and took out loans to pay off family debts.(为了减轻家庭负担，庞众望在大学期间利用业余时间打工，还贷款偿还了家庭债务)”可知，庞众望在大学期间做兼职是为了减轻家庭的经济负担。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Pang attributes his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged me to look forward. She smiled every day, so why should I linger on sadness?”(庞众望将自己的乐观归功于母亲的教育。“她总是鼓励我向前看。她每天都面带微笑，所以我为什么要沉浸在悲伤中呢？”)”可知，庞众望母亲的鼓励塑造了他积极的生活态度。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“His story, from a young man who overcame immense sufferings to an inspiring figure, has warmed and motivated countless hearts.(他的故事，从一个克服了巨大痛苦的年轻人到一个鼓舞人心的人物，温暖并激励了无数人的心)”以及第四段“His recent speech remark — “Our generation’s mission is to serve the country through scientific research” — has gone viral on social media, with netizens praising him as an inspiration for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.(他最近在一次演讲中说：“科研报国是我们这代人的使命。”这句话在社交媒体上疯传，网友们称赞他是弱势背景年轻人的榜样)”以及全文内容可知，庞众望克服重重困难，励志成才，并致力于为国家服务，因此被视为年轻人的榜样。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，庞众望童年生活艰难，却始终刻苦求学，克服经济等诸多困难完成学业、深耕科研，最终成为榜样的内容可知，其故事主要传达了虽历经苦难但凭毅力实现目标的道理。故选D项。 C A slow beat vibrates through a person’s body as he listens to music with headphones. Wearing a vest that creates vibrations in time with the music, the cochlear (耳蜗的) implant user sways and closes his eyes to take it all in. Later, he describes having felt immersed in the music, a rare occurrence, and says that the vibrations made the listening experience more intense. Those who have cochlear implants are not new to feeling a lack of engagement in the media on a day-to-day basis. For instance, cochlear implant users are known to have difficulty interpreting the differences in the pitch, tone, and melody of music. Although plenty of research has focused on how cochlear implant users perceive music, fewer studies have examined what emotions these users feel during their listening experience. As Turchet put it, they did repeated trials on the patients, which consistently showed improved speech comprehension results. Participants of this study were divided into two groups, both of which completed the same set of surveys and audio tests before and after listening to music. The participants were tested on how well they could hear tones or understand speech in quiet and noisy conditions. Both groups listened to music samples, but only one of these groups wore the vibrating vest during listening. The vest translated the bass frequencies heard in the music into a signal that could be felt physically through vibrations created with motorized actuators (制动器) fixed in the vest, which converted the electrical signal from the digitized music into synchronized (同步的) mechanical motion. “I hope that this result, which to me seems so inspiring, brings a glimmer of hope to this category of users in some new forms of recovery therapies,” Turchet says. “These technologies lead to deeper immersion in musical experience, and also a higher level of arousal.” 28. What is the function of the vibration vest? A. To help cochlear implant users perceive music more vividly. B. To replace headphones as a new music-listening device. C. To cure the hearing loss of people with cochlear implants. D. To adjust the beat of music to match the user’s body rhythm. 29. How does the vibrating vest work according to the passage? A. It changes the pitch and melody of music to fit users’ needs. B. It shifts electrical signals from music into physical vibrations. C. It adjusts the bass frequencies of music to match users’ needs. D. It fixes motorized actuators to help users perceive the melody. 30. What is Turchet’s attitude towards the vibrating vest? A. Critical. B. Conservative. C. Promising. D. Pessimistic. 31. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Cochlear Implants: Glimmer for Hearing- Impaired People B. Vibrating Vests: Revolution from Motion to Emotion C. Vibrating Vests: Device for Hearing- Impaired People D. Cochlear Implants: Challenges in Music Perception 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工耳蜗使用者难以感受音乐。研究发现，振动背心可将音乐信号转为身体振动，帮助他们更沉浸体验音乐，Turchet认为该技术前景良好，能为听障人士带来希望。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Later, he describes having felt immersed in the music, a rare occurrence, and says that the vibrations made the listening experience more intense.(随后，他描述自己仿佛完全沉浸在音乐之中，这种感觉实属罕见。他还表示，这些振动使得聆听体验变得更加强烈)”可知，振动背心有助于人工耳蜗使用者更清晰地感知音乐。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The vest translated the bass frequencies heard in the music into a signal that could be felt physically through vibrations created with motorized actuators (制动器) fixed in the vest, which converted the electrical signal from the digitized music into synchronized (同步的) mechanical motion.(这款背心将音乐中的低音频率转化为可通过振动被身体感知的信号；振动由内置的电动制动器产生，这些制动器把数字化音乐的电信号转化为同步的机械运动)”可知，振动背心将音乐中的电信号转化为物理振动工作。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““I hope that this result, which to me seems so inspiring, brings a glimmer of hope to this category of users in some new forms of recovery therapies,” Turchet says. “These technologies lead to deeper immersion in musical experience, and also a higher level of arousal.”(图切特说：“我希望这一成果能让我觉得如此鼓舞人心的结果，能为这类用户带来一些新的康复疗法形式上的希望。这些技术能让人更深入地沉浸在音乐体验中，同时也能带来更高的兴奋感。”)”可知，图切特对这种振动背心持乐观态度。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A slow beat vibrates through a person’s body as he listens to music with headphones. Wearing a vest that creates vibrations in time with the music, the cochlear (耳蜗的) implant user sways and closes his eyes to take it all in. Later, he describes having felt immersed in the music, a rare occurrence, and says that the vibrations made the listening experience more intense.(当一个人戴着耳机聆听音乐时，一种缓慢的节奏会传遍他的全身。一位佩戴能与音乐同步产生振动的背心的耳蜗植入者随着音乐的节奏摇摆身体，并闭上眼睛全神贯注地享受音乐。随后，他描述自己仿佛完全沉浸在音乐之中，这种感觉实属罕见。他还表示，这些振动使得聆听体验变得更加强烈)”结合文章主要说明了人工耳蜗使用者难以感受音乐。研究发现，振动背心可将音乐信号转为身体振动，帮助他们更沉浸体验音乐，Turchet认为该技术前景良好，能为听障人士带来希望。可知，B选项“振动背心：从运动到情感的革命”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D The battle regarding classroom tech in America is raging in other rich countries. As poorer countries race to digitize, richer countries are restricting classroom tech even as they invest in more digital infrastructure. After initially going all-in on technology, in 2023 Sweden banned digital tools for young children and now emphasizes physical textbooks, handwriting and reading. Schools in Denmark and Finland are on the same page. The reason is not just ChatGPT and the mass cheating it makes possible. Cheating is nothing new — in a study ten years ago, 87% of high- school students admitted cheating at least once the month before, and the researchers found that percentage has actually come down since — but the “magnitude of cheating is substantially different” since advanced AI arrived, says Mr. Reich of MIT. “We have a zillion interviews with high school students. Every assignment they did used generative AI. The college level is no better. ” Precise studies have shown that classroom tech can help pupils learn algebra, but evidence of improved outcomes in other areas is thin. By contrast, the benefits handwriting offers for cognition are gaining new respect, even beyond the humanities. A computer science teacher at Hunter College High School recently reintroduced handwriting for coding assignments because it helps with memory as well as critical thinking. But not everyone who wants to go old-school can. All parents often can’t easily opt out of educational technology (edtech). Among them, it is the wealthy and educated who want less tech in the classroom. And Derek Vaillant, a professor of communication and media, says that while there is a consensus that teachers need to “get back to basics” by prioritizing original, in-person, pen-and-paper exams, large public universities are not providing resources adequate for the challenge by hiring enough teaching assistants. Administrators are “speaking out of both sides of their mouths”. The changes require rethinking the purpose of time in the classroom. At Hunter, an 11th-grade English teacher assigned five literature responses to be written by hand, each taking up a whole period. “Maybe the best thing we can do in the classroom is give young people the gift of quiet, undistracted time.” 32. What can be concluded from paragraph 1? A. Sweden is consistent in its attitude to digital tools. B. Denmark is now sparing no effort to promote edtech. C. America holds a controversial attitude towards edtech. D. Rich countries are reluctant to invest in digital equipment. 33. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the change? A. The scale of cheating is increasing dramatically. B. All parents are not willing to popularize edtech. C. Handwriting can contribute more to students’ cognition. D. Adequate assistants are employed for the original exams. 34. What does the “speaking out of both sides of their mouths” mean? A. Supportive. B. Committed. C. Inconsistent. D. Talkative. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI is reshaping American edtech. B. AI is accelerating a tech rejection. C. AI is being replaced by conventional classroom. D. AI is becoming a priority in American education. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了富裕国家对教育科技态度的转变及原因，并探讨了相关影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The battle regarding classroom tech in America is raging in other rich countries.(美国围绕课堂科技的争论也在其他富裕国家愈演愈烈)”可知，美国对教育科技的态度存在争议。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And Derek Vaillant, a professor of communication and media, says that while there is a consensus that teachers need to “get back to basics” by prioritizing original, in-person, pen-and-paper exams, large public universities are not providing resources adequate for the challenge by hiring enough teaching assistants.(通讯与媒体教授德里克·瓦扬特表示，尽管人们一致认为，教师需要“回归基础”，优先安排原创的、面对面的、纸笔考试，但大型公立大学没有通过雇佣足够的教学助理来提供足够的资源来应对这一挑战)”可知，D项“为原始考试配备了足够的助手”表述错误，不是变化的原因。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“And Derek Vaillant, a professor of communication and media, says that while there is a consensus that teachers need to “get back to basics” by prioritizing original, in-person, pen-and-paper exams, large public universities are not providing resources adequate for the challenge by hiring enough teaching assistants.(通讯与媒体教授德里克·瓦扬特表示，尽管人们一致认为，教师需要“回归基础”，优先安排原创的、面对面的、纸笔考试，但大型公立大学没有通过雇佣足够的教学助理来提供足够的资源来应对这一挑战)”可知，大型公立大学没有提供足够的资源来应对这一挑战，所以管理者们的言行是不一致的，故“speaking out of both sides of their mouths”意为“不一致的”。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“After initially going all-in on technology, in 2023 Sweden banned digital tools for young children and now emphasizes physical textbooks, handwriting and reading. Schools in Denmark and Finland are on the same page.(在最初全力投入科技之后，2023年，瑞典禁止了针对幼儿的数字工具，现在强调实体教科书、手写和阅读。丹麦和芬兰的学校也持相同观点)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了富裕国家对教育科技态度的转变，即从最初全力投入科技到后来限制科技的使用，这种转变是由人工智能带来的作弊问题、手写对学生认知的益处等多种因素共同推动的，即人工智能正在加速人们对科技的排斥。故选B。 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。 For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship.

Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. ____37____ Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.

When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. ____39____ (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words-not fists-to express how they feel. ____40____ Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.

Each morning, I’d sit by the window, staring at the bare branches outside and the gray sky, my laptop screen blinking blankly. Words felt like pieces of ice — cold, unyielding, impossible to grasp. Then, one day, a dove broke through that fog. It landed on the windowsill, tilting its head to study me. His ruby-red eyes sparkled with curiosity and its feathers were soft with gray neck band. I expected it to flutter away as soon as I moved, but it stayed, cooing (咕咕叫) softly, as if waiting for something. I searched in the kitchen, found a piece of bread and held it out. Tentatively, it hopped onto my palm and pecked, its beak moving in quick, delicate motions. I named it Pierre. Pierre became my daily companion. He’d arrive at dawn, tapping his beak against the window to wake me, then settle on the grass while I sipped coffee. When I sat down to write, he’d flutter onto the edge of my desk. I watched him fly off with his flock, circling once above the roof before disappearing into the blue. While observing it, I felt comforted and inspired. I would smile, opening my laptop — and the first sentence came easily: “Some gifts don’t come wrapped in paper. Sometimes they have feathers, and ruby eyes, and a skill for showing up when you need them most.” As spring came, it was getting warmer and farmers were busy spreading insect-killing chemicals on their olive trees. The village now felt alive — all because of a bird that had wandered into my life. My writing flourished too. Sentences that had felt blocked for weeks began to flow. 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。 Para 1: But then, disaster struck. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Days later, Pierre was back to his old self. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Para 1: But then, disaster struck. One evening, I found Pierre lying on the windowsill. His ruby-red eyes, which had always sparkled with curiosity, were now dim. Worse still, when I picked him up, he barely struggled. A wave of panic swept over me as I recalled the farmers’ insect-killing chemicals — he must have pecked at poisoned insects. Having realized the danger, I cupped him gently in my palms, wrapped him in a towel swiftly, grabbed my car keys, and raced to the nearest vet. The drive felt endless, with Pierre’s weak coos echoing in the car. Thanks to the vet’s timely help, he was rescued. And I stayed awake, accompanying him till dawn. Para 2: Days later, Pierre was back to his old self. He reappeared at my window, tapping lightly with his beak. When I sipped coffee, he would flutter onto my palm. As I typed the final sentence, he tilted his head, letting out a soft coo that seemed to go with the rhythm of my words. At that moment, I realized that the “disaster” actually deepened our bond. Pierre wasn’t just a bird — he was the gift that taught me the quiet magic of connection. Some of life’s most precious treasures arrive when we least expect them, wrapped in feathers and faith. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在法国南部的一个小村庄生活，遭遇写作瓶颈。一只名为皮埃尔的鸽子闯入作者的生活，成为作者的日常陪伴，给作者带来安慰与写作灵感。春天来临，农民在橄榄树上喷洒杀虫化学药剂后，皮埃尔遭遇了意外。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但随后，灾难降临了”可知，第一段可描写作者救助和照顾皮埃尔的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“几天后，皮埃尔恢复了往日的状态”可知，第二段可描写皮埃尔恢复后陪伴作者以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：皮埃尔遭遇灾难——我发现其状态异常——推测原因并送医——皮埃尔获救 ——作者陪伴——皮埃尔恢复如往常——陪伴作者完成写作——我感悟情感纽带及礼物意义。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：find/spot ②捧起：cup/hold gently ③包裹：wrap/envelop ④抓起：grab/seize 情绪类 ①恐慌：panic/fright ②温柔的：soft/gentle 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I sipped coffee, he would flutter onto my palm.

Below are four typical ones from different times and places. The Three Gorges Project The Three Gorges Project, the world’s biggest water conservancy project, lies on the Yangtze River. Completed in 2020, it consists of a concrete gravity dam, sluice gates, a hydropower station and navigation facilities. As the world’s largest hydropower station, it has greatly improved navigation conditions and supplies over 20 billion cubic meters of water to the Yangtze’s middle and lower reaches yearly. The Kerez System The Kerez, once called “well canals”, is an underground water conservancy project with a history of over 2,000 years. Created by people in little rain areas like Turpan and Hami in Xinjiang, it turns deserts into oases. Without being affected by evaporation in dry areas, the Kerez can realize gravity flow irrigation all year round. This ancient project fully shows the wisdom of ancient people in adapting to arid natural environments and utilizing water resources. The Hoover Dam The Hoover Dam, a landmark project on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona in the US, was built from 1931 to 1936. As a concrete arch gravity dam, it stands 221. 4 meters high, with a top width of 13. 6 meters and a bottom width of 202 meters. It also controls floods effectively and supplies irrigation water, which greatly promotes the agricultural development of the surrounding areas. Its construction applied advanced technologies at that time, setting an example for modern large- scale water conservancy projects. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a major inter- basin water diversion project in China, built to solve the uneven distribution of water resources between northern and southern China. The project has improved the water supply conditions for production and daily life in northern China, and also played a positive role in maintaining the ecological balance of the relevant river basins. 21. What sets The Kerez System apart from others? A. Its long history. B. Its fair landscape. C. Its navigation facilities. D. Its advanced technologies. 22. What can we learn about the Hoover Dam from the text? A. It attaches great significance to ecology. B. It demonstrates the intelligence of people. C. It greatly strengthens the local agriculture. D. It was completed more than a hundred years ago. 23. What role does the South-to-North Water Diversion Project play? A. To manage floods. B. To settle the water imbalance. C. To generate clean electricity. D. To improve navigation conditions. B On the evening of August 16, 2024, doctoral student Pang Zhongwang from Tsinghua University was named a “Touching China” 2024 Awardee. His story, from a young man who overcame immense sufferings to an inspiring figure, has warmed and motivated countless hearts. Pang Zhongwang was born in February 1999. In his childhood, he helped take care of his family and his mother. Though life was tough, he never gave up and worked extremely hard. The walls of his house were covered with awards from primary school to high school. He wrote in his diary, “Since hardship chose you, you can leave it behind and embrace the sunshine.” With this faith, he achieved excellent academic results and scored 684 in the college entrance exam in 2017, which earned him a place at Tsinghua University. To relieve the family’s burden, Pang Zhongwang did some work in his spare time during college and took out loans to pay off family debts. After getting his bachelor’s degree in 2021, he continued his PhD studies at Tsinghua. While faced with financial struggles, Pang notably refused financial help from entrepreneurs. Now, he is doing well in his PhD program and has published several papers in peer-reviewed journals. One night, when taking a shower, he suddenly solved a tough research problem, which led to his first SCI paper. Later, he also obtained his first invention patent and published many papers. The person who had the deepest impact on him was his mother, born with spina bifida (脊柱裂), who passed away in 2020 at the age of 48. “I found it hard to express my feelings to my mother when she was alive. I might have just told her, ‘Look, I’m doing pretty well’,” Pang recalled. His mother once told the media, “This child is my greatest hope. I never went to school, so I deeply admire educated people. I always urged him to study hard.” Pang attributes his optimism to his mother’s teachings. “She always encouraged me to look forward. She smiled every day, so why should I linger on sadness?” His recent speech remark — “Our generation’s mission is to serve the country through scientific research” — has gone viral on social media, with netizens praising him as an inspiration for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. 24. Why did Pang do part-time jobs during college? A. To assist other students in need. B. To save money for his PhD studies. C. To ease his family’s financial issues. D. To gain work experience for future jobs. 25. What could best reflect the influence of Pang’s mother on him? A. Her lack of education made him get into a top university. B. Her encouragement shaped his positive attitude towards life. C. Her disability drove him to pursue a career in medical research. D. Her expectation for him motivated him to decline others’ help. 26. What might be the reason why Pang was regarded as an example for youth? A. He took good care of his mother and paid off the family debts. B. He published several papers and even got an invention patent. C. He scored 684 in exam and was admitted to Tsinghua University. D. He overcame hardships and committed himself to serving the country. 27. What does Pang Zhongwang’s story mainly convey? A. The importance of family wealth for academic success. B. The difficulty for poor students to be admitted to top universities. C. The process to become a think-tank specialist at a very young age. D. The procedure to achieve goals through perseverance despite hardships. C A slow beat vibrates through a person’s body as he listens to music with headphones. Wearing a vest that creates vibrations in time with the music, the cochlear (耳蜗的) implant user sways and closes his eyes to take it all in. Later, he describes having felt immersed in the music, a rare occurrence, and says that the vibrations made the listening experience more intense. Those who have cochlear implants are not new to feeling a lack of engagement in the media on a day-to-day basis. For instance, cochlear implant users are known to have difficulty interpreting the differences in the pitch, tone, and melody of music. Although plenty of research has focused on how cochlear implant users perceive music, fewer studies have examined what emotions these users feel during their listening experience. As Turchet put it, they did repeated trials on the patients, which consistently showed improved speech comprehension results. Participants of this study were divided into two groups, both of which completed the same set of surveys and audio tests before and after listening to music. The participants were tested on how well they could hear tones or understand speech in quiet and noisy conditions. Both groups listened to music samples, but only one of these groups wore the vibrating vest during listening. The vest translated the bass frequencies heard in the music into a signal that could be felt physically through vibrations created with motorized actuators (制动器) fixed in the vest, which converted the electrical signal from the digitized music into synchronized (同步) mechanical motion. “I hope that this result, which to me seems so inspiring, brings a glimmer of hope to this category of users in some new forms of recovery therapies,” Turchet says. “These technologies lead to deeper immersion in musical experience, and also a higher level of arousal.” 28. What is the function of the vibration vest? A. To help cochlear implant users perceive music more vividly. B. To replace headphones as a new music-listening device. C. To cure the hearing loss of people with cochlear implants. D. To adjust the beat of music to match the user’s body rhythm. 29. How does the vibrating vest work according to the passage? A. It changes the pitch and melody of music to fit users’ needs. B. It shifts electrical signals from music into physical vibrations. C. It adjusts the bass frequencies of music to match users’ needs. D. It fixes motorized actuators to help users perceive the melody. 30. What is Turchet’s attitude towards the vibrating vest? A. Critical. B. Conservative. C. Promising. D. Pessimistic. 31. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Cochlear Implants: Glimmer for Hearing- Impaired People B. Vibrating Vests: Revolution from Motion to Emotion C. Vibrating Vests: Device for Hearing- Impaired People D. Cochlear Implants: Challenges in Music Perception D The battle regarding classroom tech in America is raging in other rich countries. As poorer countries race to digitize, richer countries are restricting classroom tech even as they invest in more digital infrastructure. After initially going all-in on technology, in 2023 Sweden banned digital tools for young children and now emphasizes physical textbooks, handwriting and reading. Schools in Denmark and Finland are on the same page. The reason is not just ChatGPT and the mass cheating it makes possible. Cheating is nothing new — in a study ten years ago, 87% of high- school students admitted cheating at least once the month before, and the researchers found that percentage has actually come down since — but the “magnitude of cheating is substantially different” since advanced AI arrived, says Mr. Reich of MIT. “We have a zillion interviews with high school students. Every assignment they did used generative AI. The college level is no better. ” Precise studies have shown that classroom tech can help pupils learn algebra, but evidence of improved outcomes in other areas is thin. By contrast, the benefits handwriting offers for cognition are gaining new respect, even beyond the humanities. A computer science teacher at Hunter College High School recently reintroduced handwriting for coding assignments because it helps with memory as well as critical thinking. But not everyone who wants to go old-school can. All parents often can’t easily opt out of educational technology (edtech). Among them, it is the wealthy and educated who want less tech in the classroom. And Derek Vaillant, a professor of communication and media, says that while there is a consensus that teachers need to “get back to basics” by prioritizing original, in-person, pen-and-paper exams, large public universities are not providing resources adequate for the challenge by hiring enough teaching assistants. Administrators are “speaking out of both sides of their mouths”. The changes require rethinking the purpose of time in the classroom. At Hunter an 11th-grade English teacher assigned five literature responses to be written by hand, each taking up a whole period. “Maybe the best thing we can do in the classroom is give young people the gift of quiet, undistracted time.” 32. What can be concluded from paragraph 1? A. Sweden is consistent in its attitude to digital tools. B. Denmark is now sparing no effort to promote edtech. C. America holds a controversial attitude towards edtech. D. Rich countries are reluctant to invest in digital equipment. 33. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the change? A. The scale of cheating is increasing dramatically. B. All parents are not willing to popularize edtech. C. Handwriting can contribute more to students’ cognition. D. Adequate assistants are employed for the original exams. 34. What does the “speaking out of both sides of their mouths” mean? A. Supportive. B. Committed. C. Inconsistent. D. Talkative. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI is reshaping American edtech. B. AI is accelerating a tech rejection. C AI is being replaced by conventional classroom. D. AI is becoming a priority in American education. 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。 For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. ____36____ Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament. Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. ____37____ Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior. This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. ____38____ But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them. ____39____ (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”). Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words-not fists-to express how they feel. ____40____ Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed. A. Begin by helping your child learn sympathy. B. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors. C. It’s also important to be mindful of how child’s personality affects playtime. D. Toddlers usually start to recognize colors and simple shapes around age of 2 to 3. E. In addition, the way toddlers demonstrate is different from what adults think about. F. To help toddlers make friends, parents should let them choose their playmates freely. G. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys and get bossy. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 If you had asked me about exercise, I would have rolled my eyes while holding my untouched gym membership card.

Each morning, I’d sit by the window, staring at the bare branches outside and the gray sky, my laptop screen blinking blankly. Words felt like pieces of ice — cold, unyielding, impossible to grasp. Then, one day, a dove broke through that fog. It landed on the windowsill, tilting its head to study me. His ruby-red eyes sparkled with curiosity and its feathers were soft with gray neck band. I expected it to flutter away as soon as I moved, but it stayed, cooing (咕咕叫) softly, as if waiting for something. I searched in the kitchen, found a piece of bread and held it out. Tentatively, it hopped onto my palm and pecked, its beak moving in quick, delicate motions. I named it Pierre. Pierre became my daily companion. He’d arrive at dawn, tapping his beak against the window to wake me, then settle on the grass while I sipped coffee. When I sat down to write, he’d flutter onto the edge of my desk. I watched him fly off with his flock, circling once above the roof before disappearing into the blue. While observing it, I felt comforted and inspired. I would smile, opening my laptop — and the first sentence came easily: “Some gifts don’t come wrapped in paper. Sometimes they have feathers, and ruby eyes, and a skill for showing up when you need them most.” As spring came, it was getting warmer and farmers were busy spreading insect-killing chemicals on their olive trees. The village now felt alive — all because of a bird that had wandered into my life. My writing flourished too. Sentences that had felt blocked for weeks began to flow. 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。 Para 1: But then, disaster struck. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: Days later, Pierre was back to his old self. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
