She believes that today’s society needs to find this connection again. The book includes different native stories linked to important places, from Japan’s mountains to New Zealand’s volcano-shaped lands and the Black Hills in North America. Although the book covers many cultures, its argument is not really new. Sometimes Khatwa’s writing sounds like she is teaching a moral lesson. It creates oversimplified comparison. Native peoples live harmoniously with nature while others only make use of nature. She worries that scientists may not accept views from non-Western cultures, but there is no need to worry. The best parts of the book are Khatwa’s personal stories. She bravely shares both happy and sad moments from her life. Studying rocks helped her see things clearly and find comfort. Her memory of visiting Kenya is especially touching. At that place, she first became interested in geology as a young girl. Khatwa sees human life stories in the changes of rocks. Some rocks go through great heat and pressure to become new and stronger, while other rocks are torn from their original places and left in foreign lands. However, reading this book made me think about my own different interest in geology. I am interested in history rather than human problems. I think the Earth’s history is very long, but human problems are very small. Khatwa’s method feels like teaching at times. But her central idea is very important. It is this: if we connect with the Earth and stay open to various ideas, we can better protect our world and ourselves. 4. How does Josh introduce the book’s content in paragraph one? A. By listing Khatwa’s academic achievements. B. By quoting positive reviews from readers. C. By stating its theme and giving examples. D. By comparing it with other geology books. 5. What is a shortcoming of the book according to the passage? A. Ignoring Western scientific views. B. Covering cultures of few places. C. Failing to include personal stories. D. Lacking creativity in argument. 6. How does the Josh’s view of geology differ from Khatwa’s? A. He thinks rocks ignore human life. B. He cares more about Earth’s history. C. He wants geology to save the planet. D. He feels geology is protecting nature. 7. What’s Josh’s attitude toward the book? A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Josh Trapani对《The Whispers of Rock》一书的书评。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the book The Whispers of Rock, geologist Anjana Khatwa writes about the strong ties between native cultures and the Earth’s rocks and landscapes. (在《The Whispers of Rock》一书中，地质学家安贾娜·卡特瓦(Anjana Khatwa)描述了本土文化与地球岩石和景观之间的紧密联系)”以及“The book includes different native stories linked to important places, from Japan’s mountains to New Zealand’s volcano-shaped lands and the Black Hills in North America. (这本书包含了与重要地点相关的不同本土故事，从日本的山脉到新西兰的火山地貌，再到北美的黑山)”可知，Josh通过陈述这本书的主题，即本土文化与地球岩石和景观之间的紧密联系，并举例日本的山脉、新西兰的火山地貌和北美的黑山等重要地点相关的本土故事来介绍书的内容。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Although the book covers many cultures, its argument is not really new. (虽然这本书涵盖了许多文化，但它的论点并不新鲜)”可知，这本书的缺点是论点并不新鲜，缺乏创新性。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Khatwa sees human life stories in the changes of rocks. (Khatwa从岩石的变化中看到了人类生活的故事)”和“However, reading this book made me think about my own different interest in geology. I am interested in history rather than human problems. I think the Earth’s history is very long, but human problems are very small.(然而，读这本书让我想到了我自己对地质学的不同兴趣。我对历史感兴趣，而不是人类的问题。我认为地球的历史很长，但人类的问题很小)”可知，作者Josh对地质学的兴趣在于地球的历史，而不是人类的问题，这与Khatwa的观点不同。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Khatwa’s method feels like teaching at times. But her central idea is very important. It is this: if we connect with the Earth and stay open to various ideas, we can better protect our world and ourselves. (Khatwa的方法有时给人的感觉像是在进行教导。但她的核心观点却非常重要。那就是：如果我们与大地建立联系，并保持对各种想法的开放态度，我们就能更好地保护我们的世界以及自己)”以及全文对书的内容、优缺点以及作者观点与书中观点差异的客观描述可知，Josh对这本书的态度是客观的。故选A项。 C If you’ve ever thought it would be great to walk into a room and know whether a harmful airborne virus is hanging around, scientists have a device for you. Researchers have created a new machine, a little bigger than a bread maker, which can quickly detect the airborne viruses. Rajan Chakrabarty, a scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, worked with his team nonstop for three years to create the detector. One of the main challenges when they sample the airborne viruses is collecting enough air to concentrate viral particles (颗粒) at detectable levels. This detector pulls in 1,000 cubic meters of air each minute, compared to previous detectors which breathed in 2 to 8 cubic meters of air per minute. “To trap the virus, we create an artificial cyclone (旋风) inside the sampler,” Chakrabarty says. “By moving liquid around at a high rate, viruses get trapped in the cyclone wall and concentrated for analysis. Any virus not captured in the liquid is filtered (过滤) out with a HEPA filter. After five minutes, the liquid is pumped to a biosensor. The biosensor consists of an electrode attached to a specialized immune system protein that fights infections much like antibodies but is smaller and tougher. The biosensor is based on a detector.” To test the detector, the researchers sent the device to the apartments of two people with viral infections. “The device detected amounts of virus shed by the patients,” Chakrabarty says. Air collected from an empty conference room showed little sign of the virus. This indicates that the patients eliminated the virus and released it into the air through actions like breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing, but only in very small amounts. There are still some challenges. For instance, the device is as noisy as a cleaner or a ringing phone. That’s probably too loud for continuous use in a classroom or office, but could be tolerated for 10 minutes. Such detectors cost much money to build in a research lab. Commercial versions may be too expensive for home use but could be used in hospitals, airports, and other public areas to survey for the virus. 8. What does the data in the first paragraph show about the new machine? A. The small size. B. The speedy virus detection. C. The sampling time. D. The limited detectable level. 9. What does Chakrabarty mainly say about the new machine in paragraph 2? A. Its working process. B. Its maximum volume. C. Its logical ability to analyse viruses. D. Its special system to concentrate air. 10. What does the underlined word “shed” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Discovered. B. Indicated. C. Controlled. D. Removed. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Scientists’ efforts to invent a virus sampler. B. A breakthrough in virus detection technology. C. Introducing a new airborne virus detector. D. A device’s application in public virus monitoring. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家研发出的一种新型空气传播病毒检测器，以及该检测器的工作原理、测试效果及当前存在的局限和应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers have created a new machine, a little bigger than a bread maker, which can quickly detect the airborne viruses. (研究人员发明了一种新机器，体积比面包机稍大，能够快速检测空气中的病毒。)”以及“This detector pulls in 1,000 cubic meters of air each minute, compared to previous detectors which breathed in 2 to 8 cubic meters of air per minute. (这款探测器每分钟吸入1000立方米的空气，而之前的探测器每分钟仅吸入2到8立方米的空气。)”可知，研究人员发明了一种比面包机稍大一点的新机器，可以快速检测空气中的病毒。并且新探测器的空气吸入量远高于旧款探测器，能更快收集足够空气浓缩病毒颗粒，更加体现了其病毒检测的高效性。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““To trap the virus, we create an artificial cyclone inside the sampler,” Chakrabarty says. (“为了捕捉病毒，我们在采样器内制造一个人造旋风，”Chakrabarty说到。)”以及“After five minutes, the liquid is pumped to a biosensor. (五分钟后，液体被泵送到生物传感器。)”可知，Chakrabarty主要描述了该设备从空气采样、病毒捕捉、液体传输到生物传感器检测的完整工作流程。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““The device detected amounts of virus shed by the patients,”Chakrabarty says.(“该设备检测到了患者________的病毒量,”Chakrabarty说到。 ) ”和“This indicates that the patients eliminated the virus and released it into the air through actions like breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing but only in very small amounts. (这表明患者呼气、说话、咳嗽、或打喷嚏等行为将病毒排出并释放到空气中，但量非常少)”可知，该设备检测到了患者排出的病毒量。因此，shed在此处的意思是“排出”。故选D项。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了科学家研发出的一种新型空气传播病毒检测器，包括其工作原理、测试结果以及应用前景等。因此，文章的主旨是介绍这种新型空气传播病毒检测器。故选C项。 D In a new study, Iowa Psychologist Ed Wasserman gave the pigeons complex categorization tests that high-level thinking would not aid in solving. Instead, the pigeons, by trial and error, eventually were able to memorize enough situations in the test. This basic process of making associations — considered a lower-level thinking technique — is the same between the test-taking pigeons and the latest AI advances. The researchers sought to figure out two types of learning: one declarative learning, is based on exercising reason according to a set of rules or strategies — a so-called higher level of learning owned mostly by people. The other, associative learning, centers on recognizing and making connections between objects or patterns, such as “sky-blue” and “water-wet.” Wasserman’s team designed a difficult test to find out whether the pigeons use declarative or associative learning. Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus (刺激) and had to decide, by pecking (啄) a button on the right or on the left, to which category that stimulus belonged. What made the test so demanding was that no rules or logic would help finish the task. They have to memorize the individual stimuli or regions from where the stimuli occur. Over hundreds of tests, the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right. “The pigeons are like AI masters” Wasserman says. “Both of them employ associative learning, and yet that base-level thinking is what allowed the pigeons to ultimately score successfully.” If people were to take the same test, they’d score poorly and would probably give up because they rely so heavily on rules or strategies. Those rules would get in the way of learning. The pigeon doesn’t have that high-level thinking process. But it doesn’t get in the way of their learning. In fact, in some ways it facilitates it. “People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm (算法) much like the pigeon,” Wasserman says, “yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals, it is discounted as inflexible and uncomplicated. ” 12. Which of the following is a typical example of associative learning? A. Dolphins detect obstacles using sound waves. B. Chimpanzees use physical gesture strategies. C. A dog wags its tail when hearing its food bowl. D. Emily figures out math problems with logic. 13. How did the pigeons improve their performance in the test? A. By pecking the stimuli. B. By finding rule or logic. C. By competing with each other. D. By making numerous attempts. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI and man use the same learning pattern. B. Associative learning is underestimated. C. People think highly of declarative learning. D. Pigeons finish tasks with AI algorithms. 15. Which can be a suitable title of the text? A. Pigeon’s Learning Largely Extends High Tech. B. AI Adopts Pigeons’ Learning Approach. C. Pigeon’s Peck Can Mirror High Tech. D. AI Learning Experience Reshapes Cognition. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究发现鸽子和最新AI都使用联想学习，这种低级思维能帮助它们完成复杂测试，却常被人们低估。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The other, associative learning, centers on recognizing and making connections between objects or patterns, such as “sky-blue” and “water-wet.”(另一种是联想学习，重点在于识别并建立事物或模式之间的联系，比如“天空——蓝色”和“水——湿润”。)”可知，联想学习是建立联系，狗听到食盆响就摇尾巴是典型的联想学习，因为狗将食盆的声音和食物建立了联系。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, the pigeons, by trial and error, eventually were able to memorize enough situations in the test. (相反，鸽子通过反复试错，最终记住了测试中的足够多的场景。)”以及第三段“Over hundreds of tests, the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right.(在数百次测试中，四只测试鸽的得分最终从50%提高到平均68%)”可知，鸽子通过不断尝试提高成绩。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm (算法) much like the pigeon,” Wasserman says, “yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals, it is discounted as inflexible and uncomplicated. ”(Wasserman说：“人们对人工智能使用像鸽子一样学习算法（计算方法）做惊人的事情感到震惊，但当人们谈论人类和动物的联想学习时，它被认为是不灵活和不复杂的。”)”可知，联想学习被低估了。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要围绕鸽子通过关联学习完成复杂测试，且这种学习方式和人工智能类似展开，介绍了鸽子在测试中的表现以及关联学习被低估等情况，所以“鸽子的啄食能反映高科技”能很好地概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Most people care about the environment. But when it comes to taking action, many don’t know where to start. This phenomenon is called the intention-action gap. Studies show that although more than three-quarters of Americans are worried about plastic pollution, many feel unsure about how to help effectively. ____16____ New research suggests that taking action — not just talking — is key to building trust and a sense of community. When people work together to solve problems, they feel more capable and connected. ____17____ Hands-on activities, for instance, like cleaning up natural areas, have been shown to increase environmental awareness more effectively than passive learning alone. One good example is the Clean Earth Challenge, designed to encourage people to pick up litter and record what they collect. The initiative quickly grew through partnerships with major environmental groups and other companies. ____18____ That’s equal to keeping about 1.2 million pounds of waste out of waterways and ecosystems. Among those who took part, most of them said they felt more hopeful that they could make a difference, and over 90 percent felt proud to work there. ____19____ It aims to reach more people and create a culture of care. By offering clear, achievable actions, it turns big environmental worries into manageable tasks. For those who want to start a similar project, patterns and ideas are available online. This approach is especially useful for companies who want to involve employees in real sustainability work. In a world where many feel tired or anxious about the planet, the lesson is clear: start small, act together, and focus on what counts. ____20____ Instead, it’s about changing habits, one piece of litter at a time. A. The program continues to expand. B. How can they turn concern into action? C. In other words, participation really builds belief. D. What measures should be taken to handle the problem? E. Moving from caring to doing isn’t about changing minds. F. The challenge effectively transformed eco-anxiety into development. G. So far, volunteers have removed 11 million pieces of trash from nature. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了如何将环保关切转化为行动，通过集体活动减少生态焦虑。 【16题详解】 上文“But when it comes to taking action, many don’t know where to start. (但当涉及到采取行动时，许多人不知道从哪里开始)”和“many feel unsure about how to help effectively. (许多人不确定如何有效地提供帮助)”提到人们关心环境但不知如何行动，B选项“他们如何将关切转化为行动？”提出问题，承接上文人们的困扰，引出下文的解决方法，符合语境。故选B项。 【17题详解】 上文“When people work together to solve problems, they feel more capable and connected. (当人们共同解决问题时，会感觉更有能力、更有联结感)”说明行动的作用，下文“increase environmental awareness more effectively than passive learning alone (比被动学习更有效地提高环境意识)”进一步补充实践的效果。C选项“换句话说，参与确实能建立信念”是对上文“共同行动带来积极感受”的同义解释，衔接上下文，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 下文“That’s equal to keeping about 1.2 million pounds of waste out of waterways and ecosystems. (这相当于避免约120万磅垃圾进入水道和生态系统)”是对垃圾清理量的换算，G选项“到目前为止，志愿者已从自然中清理了1100万件垃圾”提供了具体的清理数据支撑，与下文的换算内容呼应，符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 下文“It aims to reach more people and create a culture of care. (它旨在覆盖更多人，创造关爱文化)”指出项目的拓展目标，A 选项“这个项目持续拓展”引出下文关于项目拓展的描述，符合语境。故选A。 【20题详解】 下文“Instead, it’s about changing habits, one piece of litter at a time. (相反，它是改变习惯，一次清理一件垃圾)”强调行动的核心是改变习惯而非其他，E选项“从关切到行动不是要改变想法”与下文的Instead形成转折，说明行动的核心不是改变想法而是改变习惯。此外，E选项里的“isn’t about”与空后的“Instead, it’s about”是关联性结构。故选E。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (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。 One morning I was running late for a meeting, and I passed a friend in the hallway.

They had been friends since the first day of school, sharing laughter, secrets, and countless adventures together. However, a heated argument during a class project nearly broke their friendship. The project was about creating a presentation on environmental protection. Tom and Jack, both passionate about the topic, had different ideas on how to organize the presentation. Tom believed in a more data-driven approach, while Jack wanted to focus on touching stories. As the discussion went on, their voices grew louder and eventually they lost their tempers. They said some mean things to each other without thinking. Before they realized it, they had a huge fight. Jack left the classroom angrily, leaving Tom feeling mad and sorry for his inappropriate remarks. Days passed, and there was a lot of tension between them. They avoided each other in the hallways, and their once-friendly talks during breaks had turned into awkward silence. Their classmates noticed the change and were concerned, but attempts to help them make up seemed to be in vain. It seemed like nothing could bring them back together. One day, their teacher, Mr. Smith, noticed the strained relationship. He decided to intervene (干预). After class, he pulled Tom and Jack aside and said, “I know you two had a disagreement, but you can’t let this ruin your friendship. You both have great ideas, and this project is a chance to combine them. I want you to work it out. ” Paragraph 1: Tom and Jack looked at each other, a look of awkwardness in their eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Sitting down together, Tom and Jack began to talk about the project. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Tom and Jack looked at each other, a look of awkwardness in their eyes. With Mr. Smith’s words echoing in his mind, Tom was acutely aware that their teacher was right. His head hung low in shame, and from the corner of his eye, he could tell that Jack was equally consumed by a sense of guilt. Memories of the wonderful years they had spent as close friends rushed back. They knew that such a treasured friendship was too valuable to be destroyed by a single, ill-timed argument. With a long deep breath, Tom gathered the courage and broke the heavy silence. His voice with genuine sincerity, he said softly, “Jack, I am truly sorry for what I said. Hurting you was the last thing from my intention.” Paragraph 2: Sitting down together, Tom and Jack began to talk about the project. Tom, with a serious look, said, “It’s your stories that can truly make our presentation stand out and capture the audience’s attention.” Jack nodded in agreement, replying, “And it’s your data that gives our work solid credibility.” As they worked together, the tension gradually was swept away by a feeling of unity. They not only found common ground but also made their bond stronger. At that moment, they came to know that their friendship was much stronger than any small argument. Genuine friendships can thrive through mutual understanding and teamwork, empowering people to face future challenges together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以友谊为线索展开，讲述了Tom和Jack因项目意见不合大吵一架，关系紧张，老师发现后希望他们化解矛盾、继续合作完成项目。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tom和Jack彼此对视，眼中满是尴尬。”可知，第一段可描写在老师话语的影响下，两人回忆起过往友谊，意识到不该因争吵破坏感情，Tom主动道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“坐在一起后，Tom和Jack开始讨论这个项目。”可知，第二段可描写两人在讨论中相互认可对方的想法，化解了之前的紧张关系，友谊更加牢固。 2. 续写线索：老师劝说——Tom道歉——共同讨论项目——相互认可——友谊加固 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①意识到：be aware that/realize that ②毁掉：destroy/ruin ③回答：reply/answer 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/shame/remorse ②真诚：sincerity/genuineness 【点睛】【高分句型1】With Mr. Smith’s words echoing in his mind, Tom was acutely aware that their teacher was right.

B The Whispers of Rock: A Geologist’s Personal and Cultural Thoughts Reviewed by Josh Trapani In the book The Whispers of Rock, geologist Anjana Khatwa writes about the strong ties between native cultures and the Earth’s rocks and landscapes. She believes that today’s society needs to find this connection again. The book includes different native stories linked to important places, from Japan’s mountains to New Zealand’s volcano-shaped lands and the Black Hills in North America. Although the book covers many cultures, its argument is not really new. Sometimes Khatwa’s writing sounds like she is teaching a moral lesson. It creates oversimplified comparison. Native peoples live harmoniously with nature while others only make use of nature. She worries that scientists may not accept views from non-Western cultures, but there is no need to worry. The best parts of the book are Khatwa’s personal stories. She bravely shares both happy and sad moments from her life. Studying rocks helped her see things clearly and find comfort. Her memory of visiting Kenya is especially touching. At that place, she first became interested in geology as a young girl. Khatwa sees human life stories in the changes of rocks. Some rocks go through great heat and pressure to become new and stronger, while other rocks are torn from their original places and left in foreign lands. However, reading this book made me think about my own different interest in geology. I am interested in history rather than human problems. I think the Earth’s history is very long, but human problems are very small. Khatwa’s method feels like teaching at times. But her central idea is very important. It is this: if we connect with the Earth and stay open to various ideas, we can better protect our world and ourselves. 4. How does Josh introduce the book’s content in paragraph one? A. By listing Khatwa’s academic achievements. B. By quoting positive reviews from readers. C. By stating its theme and giving examples. D. By comparing it with other geology books. 5. What is a shortcoming of the book according to the passage? A. Ignoring Western scientific views. B. Covering cultures of few places. C. Failing to include personal stories. D. Lacking creativity in argument. 6. How does the Josh’s view of geology differ from Khatwa’s? A. He thinks rocks ignore human life. B. He cares more about Earth’s history. C. He wants geology to save the planet. D. He feels geology is protecting nature. 7. What’s Josh’s attitude toward the book? A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Approving. C If you’ve ever thought it would be great to walk into a room and know whether a harmful airborne virus is hanging around, scientists have a device for you. Researchers have created a new machine, a little bigger than a bread maker, which can quickly detect the airborne viruses. Rajan Chakrabarty, a scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, worked with his team nonstop for three years to create the detector. One of the main challenges when they sample the airborne viruses is collecting enough air to concentrate viral particles (颗粒) at detectable levels. This detector pulls in 1,000 cubic meters of air each minute, compared to previous detectors which breathed in 2 to 8 cubic meters of air per minute. “To trap the virus, we create an artificial cyclone (旋风) inside the sampler,” Chakrabarty says. “By moving liquid around at a high rate, viruses get trapped in the cyclone wall and concentrated for analysis. Any virus not captured in the liquid is filtered (过滤) out with a HEPA filter. After five minutes, the liquid is pumped to a biosensor. The biosensor consists of an electrode attached to a specialized immune system protein that fights infections much like antibodies but is smaller and tougher. The biosensor is based on a detector.” To test the detector, the researchers sent the device to the apartments of two people with viral infections. “The device detected amounts of virus shed by the patients,” Chakrabarty says. Air collected from an empty conference room showed little sign of the virus. This indicates that the patients eliminated the virus and released it into the air through actions like breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing, but only in very small amounts. There are still some challenges. For instance, the device is as noisy as a cleaner or a ringing phone. That’s probably too loud for continuous use in a classroom or office, but could be tolerated for 10 minutes. Such detectors cost much money to build in a research lab. Commercial versions may be too expensive for home use but could be used in hospitals, airports, and other public areas to survey for the virus. 8. What does the data in the first paragraph show about the new machine? A. The small size. B. The speedy virus detection. C. The sampling time. D. The limited detectable level. 9. What does Chakrabarty mainly say about the new machine in paragraph 2? A. Its working process. B. Its maximum volume. C. Its logical ability to analyse viruses. D. Its special system to concentrate air. 10. What does the underlined word “shed” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Discovered. B. Indicated. C. Controlled. D. Removed. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. Scientists’ efforts to invent a virus sampler. B. A breakthrough in virus detection technology. C. Introducing a new airborne virus detector. D. A device’s application in public virus monitoring. D In a new study, Iowa Psychologist Ed Wasserman gave the pigeons complex categorization tests that high-level thinking would not aid in solving. Instead, the pigeons, by trial and error, eventually were able to memorize enough situations in the test. This basic process of making associations — considered a lower-level thinking technique — is the same between the test-taking pigeons and the latest AI advances. The researchers sought to figure out two types of learning: one declarative learning is based on exercising reason according to a set of rules or strategies — a so-called higher level of learning owned mostly by people. The other, associative learning, centers on recognizing and making connections between objects or patterns, such as “sky-blue” and “water-wet.” Wasserman’s team designed a difficult test to find out whether the pigeons use declarative or associative learning. Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus (刺激) and had to decide, by pecking (啄) a button on the right or on the left, to which category that stimulus belonged. What made the test so demanding was that no rules or logic would help finish the task. They have to memorize the individual stimuli or regions from where the stimuli occur. Over hundreds of tests, the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right. “The pigeons are like AI masters” Wasserman says. “Both of them employ associative learning, and yet that base-level thinking is what allowed the pigeons to ultimately score successfully.” If people were to take the same test, they’d score poorly and would probably give up because they rely so heavily on rules or strategies. Those rules would get in the way of learning. The pigeon doesn’t have that high-level thinking process. But it doesn’t get in the way of their learning. In fact, in some ways it facilitates it. “People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm (算法) much like the pigeon,” Wasserman says, “yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals, it is discounted as inflexible and uncomplicated. ” 12. Which of the following is a typical example of associative learning? A. Dolphins detect obstacles using sound waves. B. Chimpanzees use physical gesture strategies. C. A dog wags its tail when hearing its food bowl. D. Emily figures out math problems with logic. 13. How did the pigeons improve their performance in the test? A. By pecking the stimuli. B. By finding rule or logic. C. By competing with each other. D. By making numerous attempts. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI and man use the same learning pattern. B. Associative learning is underestimated. C. People think highly of declarative learning. D. Pigeons finish tasks with AI algorithms. 15. Which can be a suitable title of the text? A. Pigeon’s Learning Largely Extends High Tech. B. AI Adopts Pigeons’ Learning Approach. C. Pigeon’s Peck Can Mirror High Tech. D. AI Learning Experience Reshapes Cognition. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Most people care about the environment. But when it comes to taking action, many don’t know where to start. This phenomenon is called the intention-action gap. Studies show that although more than three-quarters of Americans are worried about plastic pollution, many feel unsure about how to help effectively. ____16____ New research suggests that taking action — not just talking — is key to building trust and a sense of community. When people work together to solve problems, they feel more capable and connected. ____17____ Hands-on activities, for instance, like cleaning up natural areas, have been shown to increase environmental awareness more effectively than passive learning alone.

They had been friends since the first day of school, sharing laughter, secrets, and countless adventures together. However, a heated argument during a class project nearly broke their friendship. The project was about creating a presentation on environmental protection. Tom and Jack, both passionate about the topic, had different ideas on how to organize the presentation. Tom believed in a more data-driven approach, while Jack wanted to focus on touching stories. As the discussion went on, their voices grew louder and eventually they lost their tempers. They said some mean things to each other without thinking. Before they realized it, they had a huge fight. Jack left the classroom angrily, leaving Tom feeling mad and sorry for his inappropriate remarks. Days passed, and there was a lot of tension between them. They avoided each other in the hallways, and their once-friendly talks during breaks had turned into awkward silence. Their classmates noticed the change and were concerned, but attempts to help them make up seemed to be in vain. It seemed like nothing could bring them back together. One day, their teacher, Mr. Smith, noticed the strained relationship. He decided to intervene (干预). After class, he pulled Tom and Jack aside and said, “I know you two had a disagreement, but you can’t let this ruin your friendship.
