On this platform, teachers can create online collaborative groups provide educational materials, measure students’ performance, and communicate with parents, among other functions.(Edmodo是一款连接师生的教育工具，功能类似社交网络。在该平台上，教师可以创建线上协作小组、提供教学资料、测评学生表现以及与家长沟通交流等)”可知，Edmodo的核心功能之一是促进师生、家校之间的联系沟通。故选C项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据TED-Ed标题下的“TED-Ed is an educational website that lets teachers, students, or anyone with useful knowledge work together to create lessons.(TED-Ed 是一个教育网站，允许教师、学生或任何具备实用知识的人合作制作课程)”以及Storybird标题下的“Storybird is a platform where teachers can create interactive books online through a simple, easy-to-use interface, aiming to promote students’ writing and reading skills through storytelling.(Storybird 是一个平台，教师可通过简洁易用的界面在线创作互动书籍，旨在借助故事创作提升学生的读写能力)”可知，两款工具的共同特点是支持用户自主创作教育相关内容。故选D项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段“In the new era of learning, technology plays a fundamental role in the process of teaching children and teenagers. Here are some tools that help teachers and students.(在学习的新时代，科技在青少年儿童的教学过程中发挥着基础性作用。以下为大家介绍几款助力师生开展教学活动的实用工具)”可知，文章客观介绍了四款教育科技工具的功能和用途，内容具有很强的实用性和指导性，面向的读者群体应为教师、教育工作者等。因此本文最有可能出自教学指南。故选A项。 B For those of us living in the countryside, a good pair of wellington boots is more than just footwear — it’s an essential tool for daily life. They must handle heavy winter rains, cross streams without leaking, and walk slowly through thick mud. Even in summer, they’re handy for early-morning walks through wet grass. By my back door, five well-worn pairs stand ready for action, having served my family faithfully over the years. These rain boots have developed from children’s shiny, colorful pairs to the durable, practical adult versions that see us through every season. My favorite brand is known for durability and style — perfect for country life. It emphasizes that rain boots are a “must-have” for people living in regions with frequent rain. But if you live in the city, do you really need a pair? Let’s be clear: A rubber ankle boot — which doesn’t allow for playing in small pools or jumping through water in winter — isn’t a boot. And I’m not against a pair of colorful boots at the beach or camping but in the countryside, they clearly say, “just visiting”. Similarly, durable country rain boots look out of place in a supermarket after a walk. Wellington boots became popular in the 1800s thanks to Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. Originally called Hessians, these tall boots with decorative strings were worn by fashionable gentlemen. The Duke adapted them for practicality while keeping them smart for casual events. Since then, they’ve undergone remarkable transformations, in the 1980s, green boots symbolized British upper-class style. In the actual greener 1990s, I had Dunlop boots made from recycled rubber, which lasted ages. Today, most are made from non-recyclable plastic, but eco-conscious options like natural rubber boots lined with organic cotton are gaining popularity. In the end, you want a pair of boots that you don’t have to struggle to get on or off, and that you can rely on. They become old friends and you miss them when they go. I’ll never be without them. 24. Why does the author mention the development of wellington boots in the first paragraph? A. To show their popularity among children. B. To highlight their changing styles over time. C. To suggest that they are more suitable for adults. D. To emphasize their importance in the countryside. 25. What can we infer about colorful boots in the countryside? A. They are preferred by locals. B. They indicate the wearer is not local. C. They are more practical than plain boots. D. They are suitable for shopping in supermarkets. 26. The author develops Paragraph 3 primarily by _________. A. listing materials used over time B. focusing on upper-class fashion C. tracing changes through time D. noting environmental shifts 27. What is the author’s attitude towards Wellington boots? A. Critical. B. Affectionate. C. Objective. D. Dismissive. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了威灵顿靴子在乡村生活中的重要性、其发展历程及作者对它的喜爱。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“For those of us living in the countryside, a good pair of wellington boots is more than just footwear — it’s an essential tool for daily life. (对于我们这些生活在农村的人来说，一双好的威灵顿靴子不仅仅是鞋子，更是日常生活中必不可少的工具。)”可知，作者在第一段提到威灵顿靴子的发展是为了强调它们在乡村生活中的重要性。故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“And I’m not against a pair of colorful boots at the beach or camping but in the countryside, they clearly say, “just visiting”. (我并不反对在海滩或露营时穿一双色彩鲜艳的靴子，但在乡村，它们显然在说，“只是来做客而已”。)”可知，在乡村，色彩鲜艳的靴子表明穿靴子的人不是当地人。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Wellington boots became popular in the 1800s thanks to Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. Originally called Hessians, these tall boots with decorative strings were worn by fashionable gentlemen. The Duke adapted them for practicality while keeping them smart for casual events. Since then, they’ve undergone remarkable transformations, in the 1980s, green boots symbolized British upper-class style. In the actual greener 1990s, I had Dunlop boots made from recycled rubber, which lasted ages. Today, most are made from non-recyclable plastic, but eco-conscious options like natural rubber boots lined with organic cotton are gaining popularity. (威灵顿雨靴在19世纪因阿瑟・韦尔斯利（威灵顿公爵）而流行起来。它们最初被称为“Hessians”，是带有装饰性鞋带的高筒靴，为时尚绅士所青睐。公爵对其进行了实用性改造，同时保留了其在休闲场合的精致感。从那以后，它们经历了显著的变革：20世纪 80 年代，绿色雨靴象征着英国上层阶级的风格；在真正更环保的90年代，我有一双邓禄普品牌的雨靴，由回收橡胶制成，穿了很久。如今，大多数雨靴由不可回收的塑料制成，但注重环保的选择——如内衬有机棉的天然橡胶靴——正日益流行。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了威灵顿靴子随着时间的推移而发生的变化，即作者主要是通过追溯时间上的变化来展开第三段的。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the end, you want a pair of boots that you don’t have to struggle to get on or off, and that you can rely on. They become old friends and you miss them when they go. I’ll never be without them. (最后，你想要一双不需要费力穿上或脱下的靴子，一双你可以信赖的靴子。它们会成为你的老朋友，当它们不在的时候，你会想念它们。我永远不会没有它们。)”可推知，作者对威灵顿靴子的态度是深情的。故选B。 C Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology. This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits. The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers. The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies. A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own. Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them. 28. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2? A. Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI. B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems. C. Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users. D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people. 29. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______. A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored B. users’ participation matters in designing technologies C. users’ advice hinders the development of technologies D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies 30. What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitation. B. Creation. C. Adaptation. D. Communication. 31. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______. A. technology can independently interact with disabled people B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality C. technology can help people communicate effectively D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了生成式人工智能驱动的人形机器人在助力残障人士生活方面的潜力，分析了当前技术与实际需求之间存在的差距及成因，并提出将包容性融入设计流程、让残障群体参与技术开发的解决方案，还以Euphonia项目为例佐证该方案的有效性，最终指出技术设计应从“为残障人士设计”转向“与他们共同设计”。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A 2023 study by the ‘AI for Accessibility’ Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users.(‘无障碍人工智能’研究所2023年的一项研究显示，39%的残障用户因技术无法理解他们而感到恼火，而非残障用户的这一比例为28%。)”以及“Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs.(近一半的残障用户还表示，他们必须改变自身行为才能使用设备，而非让设备适应自己的需求。)”可知，生成式人工智能对残障用户而言不够人性化。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, ‘Nothing about us without us,’ must become a guiding principle for developers.(许多人工智能技术的设计没有其目标服务群体的直接参与。为纠正这一点，残障群体的口号‘没有我们的参与，就没有关于我们的决策’必须成为开发者的指导原则。)”可知，作者引用该口号是为了强调用户参与在技术设计中的重要性。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification.(这种方法从一开始就将无障碍性视为核心要求，而非事后的modification。)”可知，modification译为“修改、调整”，与adaptation含义相近。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies.(在实践中，这就要求在开发和测试新技术时，让残障人士参与进来，分享他们的经历和见解。)”以及第五段“A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands.(名为Euphonia的项目就是一个清晰的例子。它旨在改善有语言障碍用户的语音识别效果。由于该人工智能接受了大量非典型语音模式人群的数据训练，因此能准确解读他们的指令。)”可知，作者举该例子是为了说明技术能够为残障人士实现包容性设计。故选D。 D Artificial intelligence now allows for the cloning of a person’s voice with frightening accuracy (准确). This technology, once just a thing of science fiction, is now being used by criminals in a new form called “voicejacking.” Using just a short audio clip (音频片段) — sometimes from a social media video or a recorded phone call — scammers (骗子) can clone a person’s voice and use it to trick family members, friends, or colleagues. Voice cloning works by training an AI model on samples of someone’s speech. The system learns unique characteristics like pitch, rhythm, and accent. Once the model is built, it can make new sentences in that person’s voice, even if they never said them. This has led to a rise in “grandparent scams,” where a scammer clones a grandchild’s voice and calls an elderly person claiming to be in trouble and needing money urgently. In one recent case in Canada, an elderly woman received a call from someone sounding exactly like her grandson. He said he had been in a car accident and needed $3,500 for repairs. The woman, trusting the familiar voice, sent the money before realizing it was a scam. Police later explained that the scammer had used a video from the grandson’s Instagram account to clone his voice. Experts suggest several ways to protect against voicejacking. One key step is to be careful about what you share online. Avoid posting voice recordings or videos that could be used to clone your voice. Another is to establish a “safe word” or a personal question that only your family members know, to check identity during unexpected calls. Finally, if you receive a suspicious call, hang up and call the person back on a known number to confirm their story. While voice cloning technology also has positive uses — such as helping people who have lost their voice to speak again — its misuse causes serious risks. Public awareness and careful online behavior are the first lines of defense. 32. What is “voicejacking” according to this text? A. Running a special scam using clone voices. B. Recording personal voices for clone research. C. Sharing audio clips on social media illegally. D. Stealing audio files from personal accounts. 33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. How criminals employ cloned voices for scams. B. How AI models make everyone’s voice unique. C. How voice cloning influences grandparents. D. How people make new sentences in their voices. 34. How does the author develop this text? A. By analyzing causes and effects. B. By describing a process step by step. C. By stating a problem and giving solutions. D. By comparing advantages and disadvantages. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards voice cloning? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了AI声音克隆技术可精准复刻人声，被骗子用于新型语音诈骗并已有真实案例，文中给出了防范该诈骗的具体方法，同时也指出该技术兼具正面用途，需理性看待。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Using just a short audio clip (音频片段) — sometimes from a social media video or a recorded phone call — scammers (骗子) can clone a person’s voice and use it to trick family members, friends, or colleagues.(仅通过一段简短的音频片段（有时来自社交媒体视频或录音电话）就能让诈骗者模仿出某人的声音，从而以此来欺骗家人、朋友或同事)”可知，voicejacking指的是利用克隆声音实施的一种特殊骗局。故选A。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Voice cloning works by training an AI model on samples of someone’s speech. The system learns unique characteristics like pitch, rhythm, and accent. Once the model is built, it can make new sentences in that person’s voice, even if they never said them. This has led to a rise in “grandparent scams,” where a scammer clones a grandchild’s voice and calls an elderly person claiming to be in trouble and needing money urgently.(语音克隆技术是通过让人工智能模型对某人的语音样本进行训练来实现的。该系统会学习诸如音调、节奏和口音等独特的特征。一旦模型构建完成，它就能用那个人的声音说出新的句子，即便那个人从未说过这些话。这导致了“祖父母诈骗”的现象增多，即诈骗者克隆孩子的声音，然后打电话给老年人，声称自己遇到了紧急困难，急需钱)”可知，第二段主要谈论的是骗子如何利用克隆声音来进行诈骗。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段提出 AI 声音克隆被用于“voicejacking”这一问题，第二段讲诈骗原理及具体形式，第三段举真实案例佐证，第四段给出防范该诈骗的具体解决办法，最后一段补充技术的正面用途并强调防范的重要性，可知，作者通过提出问题并给出解决方案展开这篇文章。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While voice cloning technology also has positive uses — such as helping people who have lost their voice to speak again — its misuse causes serious risks. Public awareness and careful online behavior are the first lines of defense.(虽然语音克隆技术也有其积极的应用领域——比如能够帮助那些失去声音的人重新开口说话——但其不当使用会带来严重的风险。提高公众意识以及保持谨慎的网络行为是第一道防线)”可知，作者既提及技术存在被滥用的严重风险，也肯定其帮助失声者重新说话的正面用途，即，对语音克隆持谨慎态度。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。 While compliments (赞扬) may seem simple, they can have a large impact on you and the people around you, creating a ripple of positivity. However, giving compliments requires skills and knowledge. Most compliments in our culture follow a very predictable pattern. ___36___ About two-thirds of compliments in the US are made using just five adjectives: nice, good, beautiful, pretty, and great. In addition, about 80% of compliments follow three formats. So if I liked a book you wrote and wanted to say something positive about it, my compliment would probably follow one of these basic patterns: “Your book is great,” “I love your book,” or “That is a terrific book.” ___37___ . For example, in 2011 a scholar showed that women in unstructured settings both give and receive far more compliments than men. About three-quarters of women’s compliments to other women in an unstructured, informal setting involve appearance. In a goal-oriented, formal setting, 68% of praise statements are about performance. ___38___ Whether the compliment is effective depends on whether it is believable, appropriate, and unqualified. ___39___ If you tell me my hair looks good, I will dismiss it and suspect your motives, because I have little hair. More generally, people with low self-esteem don’t usually receive compliments well. As researchers have shown, in people with high self-esteem, a compliment stimulates parts of the brain responsible for self-referential thinking. This occurs significantly less for people who have low self-esteem. Even if a compliment agrees with one’s self-conception, scholars concluded, it must meet three criteria to be accepted by its object. ___40___ It must be sincere. And it must occur in the appropriate context. A. It must follow the basic patterns. B. The praise must come from a person with credibility to give it. C. What we choose to compliment depends on gender differences. D. A good compliment must not conflict with its recipient’s self-conception. E. If people have negative view of a person, they would resist his compliments. F. In contrast, men are more likely to compliment one another on performance in all settings. G. They are generally directed toward another person’s appearance, performance, or possessions. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. F 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了赞美虽然看似简单，但对人和周围的人都有很大的影响，能激起一连串积极的反应，同时指出赞美也需要技巧和知识。 【36题详解】 上文“Most compliments in our culture follow a very predictable pattern.(在我们文化中，大多数的赞美都遵循一种非常可预测的模式)”说明大多数赞美都有固定模式。G选项“They are generally directed toward another person’s appearance, performance, or possessions.(它们通常针对另一个人的外表、表现或财产)”承接上文，具体说明这种固定模式是什么，即“针对另一个人的外表、表现或财产”进行赞美。故选G项。 【37题详解】 下文“For example, in 2011 a scholar showed that women in unstructured settings both give and receive far more compliments than men.(例如，2011年，一位学者发现，在非结构化的环境中，女性给予和接受的赞美远比男性多)”通过举例说明了男性和女性在给予和接受赞美上的差异。C选项“What we choose to compliment depends on gender differences.(我们选择赞美什么取决于性别差异)”引出下文，说明选择赞美的内容与性别差异有关。故选C项。 【38题详解】 上文“About three-quarters of women’s compliments to other women in an unstructured, informal setting involve appearance. In a goal-oriented, formal setting, 68% of praise statements are about performance.(在非结构化、非正式的环境中，女性对其他女性的赞美中，约有四分之三与外表有关。在目标导向的正式场合中，68%的赞美陈述是关于表现的)”分别说明了女性在不同场合下赞美的内容倾向。F选项“In contrast, men are more likely to compliment one another on performance in all settings.(相比之下，男性在所有场合下都更有可能对彼此的表现表示赞美)”与上文形成对比，说明了男性在赞美内容上的倾向。故选F项。 【39题详解】 下文“If you tell me my hair looks good, I will dismiss it and suspect your motives, because I have little hair.(如果你告诉我我的头发看起来很好，我会不屑一顾，并怀疑你的动机，因为我头发很少)”通过举例说明了赞美需要与被赞美者的自我认知相符，否则会被怀疑动机。D选项“A good compliment must not conflict with its recipient’s self-conception.(一个好的赞美必须不与其接受者的自我认知相冲突)”引出下文，说明了有效赞美的一个重要条件是必须与被赞美者的自我认知相符。故选D项。 【40题详解】 上文“Even if a compliment agrees with one’s self-conception, scholars concluded, it must meet three criteria to be accepted by its object.(学者们得出结论，即使赞美与一个人的自我认知相符，它也必须满足三个标准才能被其对象所接受)”说明了一个好的赞美需要满足三个标准。下文“It must be sincere. And it must occur in the appropriate context.(它必须是真诚的。而且它必须在适当的情境下发生)”列出了其中的两个标准。B选项“The praise must come from a person with credibility to give it.(赞美必须来自一个有可信度的人)”承上启下，列出了满足条件的第三个标准，即赞美必须来自一个有可信度的人。故选B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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I started law school in 1976.

I’m Li Hua, and it’s a great honor to speak on the topic “Healthy Living, Happy Learning.” There’s no doubt that a healthy lifestyle is the foundation of effective learning. It boosts our energy, improves concentration, and helps us manage stress, directly contributing to academic success. Here are my two suggestions. First, prioritize sufficient sleep. Staying up late cramming often backfires. A well-rested brain absorbs information much more efficiently. Second, incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. A brisk walk, some stretching between study sessions, or playing a sport can work wonders in refreshing your mind and boosting your mood. Let’s make a commitment today! Let’s not sacrifice our health for temporary academic gains. Remember, a healthy body houses a productive mind. Let’s embrace healthy habits and enjoy the journey of learning! Thank you!

But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one. A new bike was just a dream, so I asked my parents for a nightstand (床头柜). I figured that at least I would have a safe place to keep my private stuff away from the reach of my annoying younger brothers. We went to the secondhand furniture store and found an old dark brown nightstand. After we took it home, I decided to paint it and glue some stickers on it to make it look better. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck to the back of the lowest drawer, and guess what I found? A Ziploc (带拉链封口的) bag with some papers in it. When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were some kind of official-looking documents. And, wrapped in the papers were a bunch of ten-dollar and twenty-dollar bills. “This must be a joke!” I exclaimed. The papers turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren. My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Maybe I, could even buy a car for my parents. “Finders keepers, losers weepers,” I started singing as I began counting the money. It was more than a thousand dollars in total. Yet I didn’t feel good about it. How come? “Finders keepers...” the saying goes. But that money wasn’t really meant for me, was it? The lady had been saving it for her family. She must have died and nobody knew about the money hidden in the nightstand. Her family donated it to the secondhand store, and now it was in my hands. What a dilemma! I could keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family. Or I could give it all back. Tell the truth. No new bicycle. No car. “Somebody helps me with this!” I prayed. 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。 But I didn’t need others to tell me; I already knew right from wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking through the donation records, the store owner found the family’s telephone number. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But I didn’t need others to tell me; I already knew right from wrong. The money, though tempting, wasn’t mine to keep. I thought about the old lady who had saved it for her loved ones, and how disappointed they would be if they never found it. I couldn’t be the one to take away their hope. So, I decided to return the money, even though it meant giving up my dream bicycle and the chance to surprise my parents with a car. It was the right thing to do, and I knew it deep down. Looking through the donation records, the store owner found the family’s telephone number. I called them, my heart pounding with nervousness, and explained what had happened. They were shocked and grateful, and invited me to come over to return the money in person. When I handed them the bag, they hugged me tightly, thanking me for my honesty. I felt a warmth spread through me, knowing that I had made the right choice. Though I didn’t get the bicycle I wanted, I gained something far more valuable — the knowledge that doing what’s right always brings its own rewards. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者12岁生日时因家庭贫困无法得到心仪的自行车，便央求父母买了个二手床头柜。整理时作者意外发现柜中藏有超千元现金和遗嘱，这是位老妇人留给家人的积蓄，作者面临归还与私占的艰难抉择。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“但我无需他人指点，我早已明辨是非。”可知，第一段可描写作者明确是非对错的内心认知，联想到失主（老太太及其家人）的处境，最终坚定归还钱财的决心，即便要放弃梦想物品。 ②由第二段句首内容“店主翻查了捐赠记录，找到了那家人的电话号码。”可知，第二段可描写作者通过店主找到失主家人的过程，打电话说明情况时的紧张心情，亲自归还钱财时的场景，以及失主家人的反应，最后升华主旨：坚守诚信虽未得到物质回报，却收获了更珍贵的精神财富。 2.续写线索：明确是非对错 —— 内心挣扎（钱财诱惑与失主处境的权衡）—— 下定决心归还钱财 —— 借助店主找到失主家人 —— 打电话说明情况并约定归还 —— 当面归还钱财获感谢 —— 领悟坚守诚信的精神价值 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：decide to do sth./make up one’s mind to do sth./resolve to do sth. ②归还钱：return the money/give the money back/hand the money back ③给某人打电话：call sb./give sb. a call/make a phone call to sb. 情绪类： ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety ②震惊的：shocked/astonished/amazed 【点睛】【高分句型1】I thought about the old lady who had saved it for her loved ones, and how disappointed they would be if they never found it.(运用了who引导的定语从句、how引导的宾语从句、if引导的条件状语从句) 【高分句型2】I called them, my heart pounding with nervousness, and explained what had happened.(运用了what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。And you've been looking at your phone for an hour.

Here are some tools that help teachers and students. Edmodo Edmodo is an educational tool that connects teachers and students, similar to a social network. On this platform, teachers can create online collaborative groups provide educational materials, measure students’ performance, and communicate with parents, among other functions. TED-Ed TED-Ed is an educational website that lets teachers, students, or anyone with useful knowledge work together to create lessons. This site makes it easy for both teachers and students to find information. By making information easily accessible, it encourages all users to take an active part. Storybird Storybird is a platform where teachers can create interactive books online through a simple, easy-to-use interface (界面), aiming to promote students’ writing and reading skills through storytelling. Kahoot! Kahoot! is an educational platform that is based on games and questions. Questions are shown in class, and students answer while playing and learning at the same time. Kahoot! promotes game-based learning, which increases student engagement and creates a dynamic, social, and fun educational environment. 21. What is the main function of Edmodo in the text? A. Creating lessons. B. Promoting writing. C. Facilitating contact. D. Designing questions. 22. What is the key common feature of TED-Ed and Storybird? A. Easy access to information. B. Student performance assessment. C. Game-based learning engagement. D. User-generated educational content. 23. Where can the text be found? A. A teaching guide. B. A science journal. C. A student’s review. D. An academic report. B For those of us living in the countryside, a good pair of wellington boots is more than just footwear — it’s an essential tool for daily life. They must handle heavy winter rains, cross streams without leaking, and walk slowly through thick mud. Even in summer, they’re handy for early-morning walks through wet grass. By my back door, five well-worn pairs stand ready for action, having served my family faithfully over the years. These rain boots have developed from children’s shiny, colorful pairs to the durable, practical adult versions that see us through every season. My favorite brand is known for durability and style — perfect for country life. It emphasizes that rain boots are a “must-have” for people living in regions with frequent rain. But if you live in the city, do you really need a pair? Let’s be clear: A rubber ankle boot — which doesn’t allow for playing in small pools or jumping through water in winter — isn’t a boot. And I’m not against a pair of colorful boots at the beach or camping but in the countryside, they clearly say, “just visiting”. Similarly, durable country rain boots look out of place in a supermarket after a walk. Wellington boots became popular in the 1800s thanks to Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. Originally called Hessians, these tall boots with decorative strings were worn by fashionable gentlemen. The Duke adapted them for practicality while keeping them smart for casual events. Since then, they’ve undergone remarkable transformations, in the 1980s, green boots symbolized British upper-class style. In the actual greener 1990s, I had Dunlop boots made from recycled rubber, which lasted ages. Today, most are made from non-recyclable plastic, but eco-conscious options like natural rubber boots lined with organic cotton are gaining popularity. In the end, you want a pair of boots that you don’t have to struggle to get on or off, and that you can rely on. They become old friends and you miss them when they go. I’ll never be without them. 24. Why does the author mention the development of wellington boots in the first paragraph? A. To show their popularity among children. B. To highlight their changing styles over time. C. To suggest that they are more suitable for adults. D. To emphasize their importance in the countryside. 25. What can we infer about colorful boots in the countryside? A. They are preferred by locals. B. They indicate the wearer is not local. C. They are more practical than plain boots. D. They are suitable for shopping in supermarkets. 26. The author develops Paragraph 3 primarily by _________. A. listing materials used over time B. focusing on upper-class fashion C. tracing changes through time D. noting environmental shifts 27. What is the author’s attitude towards Wellington boots? A. Critical. B. Affectionate. C. Objective. D. Dismissive. C Humanoid robots, powered by generative AI (gen AI), hold significant potential to enhance daily life, especially in breaking down longstanding barriers for people with disabilities. However, a considerable gap exists between this exciting promise and the reality of today’s technology. This gap is reflected in user experience. A 2023 study by the “AI for Accessibility” Institute revealed that 39% of users with disabilities feel annoyed by technology’s failure to understand them, compared to 28% of non-disabled users. Nearly half of the disabled users also reported that they must change their behaviors to use a device rather than adapting the device to fit their needs. This is true even while they acknowledge AI’s various potential benefits. The primary reason for this issue is a lack of consideration for diverse user needs during the development process. Many AI technologies are designed without direct participation from the communities they aim to serve. To correct this, the disability community’s slogan, “Nothing about us without us,” must become a guiding principle for developers. The solution, therefore, is to build inclusivity into the design process itself. This means that developers should gather information from the widest possible range of people to create AI with user-adaptable features, allowing customization for diverse needs. This approach treats accessibility as a core requirement from the start rather than an after-the-fact modification. In practice, this requires involving people with disabilities to share their experiences and insights when developing and testing new technologies. A project named Euphonia offers a clear example. It aims to improve speech recognition for users with speech difficulties. Given that the AI is trained on vast amounts of data from people with non-typical speech patterns, it can accurately interpret their commands. For instance, it has helped former football player Tim Shaw communicate effectively again. The system not only understands his directions but can also speak for him in a voice remarkably similar to his own. Ultimately, the goal is to shift our perspective. We should see these technologies not merely as tools but as extensions of the person. This means that what truly matters is closing the gap between designing for people with disabilities and designing with them. 28. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2? A. Disabled people frequently avoid using gen AI. B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems. C. Gen AI seldom fails to meet the needs of disabled users. D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people. 29. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______. A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored B. users’ participation matters in designing technologies C. users’ advice hinders the development of technologies D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies 30. What does the word underlined “modification” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limitation. B. Creation. C. Adaptation. D. Communication. 31. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______. A. technology can independently interact with disabled people B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality C. technology can help people communicate effectively D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people D Artificial intelligence now allows for the cloning of a person’s voice with frightening accuracy (准确). This technology, once just a thing of science fiction, is now being used by criminals in a new form called “voicejacking.” Using just a short audio clip (音频片段) — sometimes from a social media video or a recorded phone call — scammers (骗子) can clone a person’s voice and use it to trick family members, friends, or colleagues. Voice cloning works by training an AI model on samples of someone’s speech. The system learns unique characteristics like pitch, rhythm, and accent. Once the model is built, it can make new sentences in that person’s voice, even if they never said them. This has led to a rise in “grandparent scams,” where a scammer clones a grandchild’s voice and calls an elderly person claiming to be in trouble and needing money urgently. In one recent case in Canada an elderly woman received a call from someone sounding exactly like her grandson. He said he had been in a car accident and needed $3,500 for repairs. The woman, trusting the familiar voice, sent the money before realizing it was a scam. Police later explained that the scammer had used a video from the grandson’s Instagram account to clone his voice. Experts suggest several ways to protect against voicejacking. One key step is to be careful about what you share online. Avoid posting voice recordings or videos that could be used to clone your voice. Another is to establish a “safe word” or a personal question that only your family members know, to check identity during unexpected calls. Finally, if you receive a suspicious call, hang up and call the person back on a known number to confirm their story. While voice cloning technology also has positive uses — such as helping people who have lost their voice to speak again — its misuse causes serious risks. Public awareness and careful online behavior are the first lines of defense. 32. What is “voicejacking” according to this text? A. Running a special scam using clone voices. B. Recording personal voices for clone research. C. Sharing audio clips on social media illegally. D. Stealing audio files from personal accounts. 33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2? A. How criminals employ cloned voices for scams. B. How AI models make everyone’s voice unique. C. How voice cloning influences grandparents. D. How people make new sentences in their voices. 34. How does the author develop this text? A. By analyzing causes and effects. B. By describing a process step by step. C. By stating a problem and giving solutions. D. By comparing advantages and disadvantages. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards voice cloning? A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 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。 While compliments (赞扬) may seem simple, they can have a large impact on you and the people around you, creating a ripple of positivity. However, giving compliments requires skills and knowledge. Most compliments in our culture follow a very predictable pattern. ___36___ About two-thirds of compliments in the US are made using just five adjectives: nice, good, beautiful, pretty, and great. In addition, about 80% of compliments follow three formats. So if I liked a book you wrote and wanted to say something positive about it, my compliment would probably follow one of these basic patterns: “Your book is great,” “I love your book,” or “That is a terrific book.” ___37___ . For example, in 2011 a scholar showed that women in unstructured settings both give and receive far more compliments than men. About three-quarters of women’s compliments to other women in an unstructured, informal setting involve appearance. In a goal-oriented, formal setting, 68% of praise statements are about performance. ___38___ Whether the compliment is effective depends on whether it is believable, appropriate, and unqualified. ___39___ If you tell me my hair looks good, I will dismiss it and suspect your motives, because I have little hair. More generally, people with low self-esteem don’t usually receive compliments well. As researchers have shown, in people with high self-esteem, a compliment stimulates parts of the brain responsible for self-referential thinking. This occurs significantly less for people who have low self-esteem. Even if a compliment agrees with one’s self-conception, scholars concluded, it must meet three criteria to be accepted by its object. ___40___ It must be sincere. And it must occur in the appropriate context. A. It must follow the basic patterns. B. The praise must come from a person with credibility to give it. C. What we choose to compliment depends on gender differences. D. A good compliment must not conflict with its recipient’s self-conception. E. If people have negative view of a person, they would resist his compliments. F. In contrast, men are more likely to compliment one another on performance in all settings. G. They are generally directed toward another person’s appearance, performance, or possessions. 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。 I started law school in 1976.

But I knew that my family couldn’t afford one. A new bike was just a dream, so I asked my parents for a nightstand (床头柜). I figured that at least I would have a safe place to keep my private stuff away from the reach of my annoying younger brothers. We went to the secondhand furniture store and found an old dark brown nightstand. After we took it home, I decided to paint it and glue some stickers on it to make it look better. When I pulled the drawers out, I felt something stuck to the back of the lowest drawer, and guess what I found? A Ziploc (带拉链封口) bag with some papers in it. When I opened the bag, I realized that the papers were some kind of official-looking documents. And, wrapped in the papers were a bunch of ten-dollar and twenty-dollar bills. “This must be a joke!” I exclaimed. The papers turned out to be a will. Some old lady was leaving her savings for her son and grandchildren. My mind was going crazy. Was I the luckiest twelve-year-old ever? With this money I could buy the coolest bicycle. Maybe I, could even buy a car for my parents. “Finders keepers, losers weepers,” I started singing as I began counting the money. It was more than a thousand dollars in total. Yet I didn’t feel good about it. How come? “Finders keepers...” the saying goes. But that money wasn’t really meant for me, was it? The lady had been saving it for her family. She must have died and nobody knew about the money hidden in the nightstand. Her family donated it to the secondhand store, and now it was in my hands. What a dilemma! I could keep it and get all kinds of stuff for me and my family. Or I could give it all back. Tell the truth. No new bicycle. No car. “Somebody helps me with this!” I prayed. 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。 But I didn’t need others to tell me; I already knew right from wrong. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking through the donation records, the store owner found the family’s telephone number. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
