For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Why AI has not taken your job Almost every week the world takes another step in the direction of artificial general intelligence. In cities such as London and San Francisco, “How long do you reckon you have left in your job?” is a common topic of conversation. But is ChatGPT actually putting anyone out of work? Lots of experts claim that it is. Many point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, both of the University of Oxford, ____21____ suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in interpretation, translation and the like ____22____(be) 7% higher than a year ago. ____23____ point to Klarna, a tech firm, which had boasted about using the tech to automate customer service. But the company is now undertaking an about-turn. “There will always be a human if you want,” its boss, has recently said. Others still search through economic data to find signs that AI ____24____ cause many people to lose their jobs in the future. One popular measure is the ratio of the unemployment rate between recent college graduates and the overall American average. Young graduates are now ____25____(likely) than the average worker to be jobless. The explanation runs that they typically do entry-level jobs in knowledge-intensive industries- ____26____ _____27_____making slides in a management consultancy. It is exactly this sort of task that AI can do well. So maybe the technology has eliminated these jobs? Well, no. The data simply do not line up ____28____ any possible mechanism. Young graduates’ “relative unemployment” started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate, at around 6%, remains low. We examine American data on employment by occupation, singling out workers that are believed to be vulnerable to AI, including people in back-office support, financial operations and much more besides. There is a similar pattern here: we find no evidence of an AI hit. There are two ____29____(compete) explanations for these trends. The first is that, ____30____ the endless announcements about how firms are integrating AI into their operations, few make much use of the technology for serious work. An official measure suggests that less than 10% of American companies employ it to produce goods and services. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go. AI may simply help workers do their jobs faster. ______31______ the explanation, for now there is no need to panic. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. value B. reliably C. barking D. likely E. mismatches F. characteristics G. aggressive H. bond I. suspect J. paired K. click Dogs really do look and act just like their owners For all the talk of dogs and humans being best friends, sometimes representatives of the two species just don’t ____32____ . Giving up an unsuitable family pet can be heartbreaking, but, if the animal is an expensive working dog, it can also be financially ruinous to the family. Guide dogs, for example, can cost up to $50,000 to train, but about a third are returned because they don’t ____33____ with their allocated owner. To cut down on the number of ____34____ , researchers in Germany are trying to develop more harmonious relationships. Their work towards that goal has now confirmed what many dog owners already ____35____, and what some may be reluctant to admit: dogs really do look like their humans. More relevant to the quest for lasting friendships, they have similar personalities too. Yana Bender and her colleagues have reviewed the available evidence to show how the similarities show through. One domain concerns physical appearance. Though it might sound____36____, numerous studies in recent decades have shown that people really can match pictures of dogs to their owners more often and more____37____than would be possible with guesswork alone. Some sources of similarity are clear: women with short hair tend to own dogs with short ears, for example, and those with long hair tend to favour long-eared breeds. Other connections are less obvious, as shown by research revealing dogs and owners can be correctly ____38____ from pictures in which only their eyes are visible. A similar bias may be at play for invisible ____39____ as well, with owners’ personality traits mirrored in the way their dogs behave. Introverted owners have dogs that are more nervous around strangers while neurotics are more likely to pair with ____40____ pets. What is going on? Psychologists have known for decades that humans place more _____41_____ on relationships with people who look and behave like them, and the same seems to apply to dogs. Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Self-driving cars are gradually transitioning from science fiction to reality. The benefits are clear: passengers can use their ____42____ to relax, work, or be entertained while reducing accidents caused by human error. Additionally, autonomous vehicles offer increased ____43____ for individuals unable to drive themselves. However, ____44____ control in the complex environment of road traffic requires highly advanced technology. Ongoing developments aim to bring fully autonomous vehicles to our roads, and one key area of focus is how these cars can ____45____ effectively — such as sharing updates on road conditions — to enhance safety and efficiency. Self-driving vehicles rely on sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) to make ____46____ decisions and navigate roads with minimal human input. The Society of Automotive Engineers classifies vehicle automation into six levels, from 0 (fully manual) to 5 (fully autonomous, meaning the vehicle can drive itself in all conditions without human ____47____). So far, no self-driving car has achieved full autonomy. The most advanced models, such as self-driving taxi services in California and Arizona, currently operate at Level 4. However, widespread adoption faces ____48____, including the potential for accidents and concerns over data privacy. AI enables autonomous vehicles to exchange knowledge when they interact directly, improving road navigation instantly. However, conventional model-sharing methods ____49____ immediate, one-on-one exchanges, which facilitate adaptation to new conditions. This is ____50____ how humans would struggle to spread information efficiently if they had to meet every recipient in person rather than passing messages through others. To overcome this limitation, researchers have introduced a new approach called Cached Decentralized Federated Learning (Cached-DFL). This method enhances how vehicles learn from one another, even if they ____51____ cross paths. Unlike traditional Federated Learning, which depends on a central server for updates, Cached-DFL allows vehicles to train AI models independently and exchange them directly. When two vehicles come within close range — about 100 meters — they use high-speed communication to share trained models rather than transmitting ____52____ data. This significantly accelerates adaptation and enhances learning efficiency compared to earlier decentralized approaches. Cached-DFL addresses the challenge of enabling autonomous vehicles to learn from one another while ____53____ data security. With this technology, self-driving cars can share crucial information about road conditions, signals, and obstacles — especially beneficial in urban areas where vehicles experience ____54____ conditions but seldom interact long enough for conventional learning methods to be effective. As AI shifts from centralized servers to edge devices, Cached-DFL offers a secure and efficient way for self-driving cars to evolve collectively, improving their intelligence and adaptability. Moreover, this technology extends beyond autonomous vehicles; it can be ____55____ other networked systems of smart mobile agents — such as drones, robots, and satellites — to achieve decentralized learning and swarm intelligence. With researchers making their code publicly available, these advancements have the potential to accelerate innovation across ____56____ industries. 42. A. commute B. freedom C. strength D. vehicle 43. A. flexibility B. accessibility C. capability D. mobility 44. A. sticking to B. giving up C. calling for D. passing over 45.

A. multiple B. particular C. major D. light Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Jameson Lobb, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was just one week into his new job on Wall Street. Over the past month, he’d been settling into the New York City apartment he was sharing with his college buddy, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri. On Oct. 4, 2023, the two were squeezing in a lunchtime workout on Pier 15, overlooking the East River, when Lobb froze. “Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Jafri could respond, Lobb climbed over the rail at the edge of the pier and leaped into the cold water without taking the time to remove his shoes. What Lobb had heard was an alarmed fisherman shouting nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a person floating, lifeless. Jafri didn’t need to see the victim. Maybe Lobb saw someone in the water who needs our help, he thought. Or maybe it’s Lobb who needs my help. Either way, I’m going in. He pulled off his shoes and swan-dived. Approaching the unconscious victim, Lobb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. The rescuer dove, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both resurfaced. The two friends floated the man on his back. As Jafri looped his arms around the man’s shoulders and Lobb supported the hips and knees, the pair took great pains back to Pier 15. Their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the freezing water. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How to get out? The pier’s decking stood an unreachable 10 feet above their heads. Suddenly the man stirred, breathing again, and beat Jafri confusedly in the face before fading back to near unconsciousness. On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the onlookers produced a rope and a life preserver, which they threw to Jafri and Lobb. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man’s body slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier. Both men, thoroughly exhausted from 15-plus minutes in the water and bleeding from numerous cuts, watched as rescue workers loaded the nearly drowned man into an ambulance and drove away. Lobb and Jafri never learned who he was, what became of him or how he’d fallen into the river. In place of that knowledge, they have a story they get to tell now, another experience that has further cemented their bond. Lots of people were on the piers that day, yet only the two of them jumped in the water - because, they say, they were the fittest people there and, so, had a moral responsibility. “If I know I’m capable,” Lobb says, “why wouldn’t I help?” Jafri adds, laughing, “People always say `If your friend jumps off a cliff, are you jumping?’ I think I answered that one.” 57. What’s the relationship between Lobb and Jafri? A. banker and client B. employer and employee C. workmates D. roommates 58. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Jafri rushed to be the first to rescue the victim, but he failed. B. The victim unintentionally gave Jafri a blow in the face. C. The rescue workers spent 15-plus minutes pulling the victim out. D. Lobb and Jafri were voted as the fittest to jump into the water. 59. When it comes to the difficulties in the rescue, Lobb and Jafri met with ________. (1) the cold and polluted water (2) the victim’s heavy weight (3) the unreachable deck (4) their muscle fatigue (5) onlookers’ indifference A. (1)(2)(3) B. (2)(3)(4) C. (1)(4)(5) D. (2)(4)(5) 60. The best title of this story might be ________. A. The fittest survives B. Friends in deed C. No pain, no gain D. More haste, less speed (B) The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 61. What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A. Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B. Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C. The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D. Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 62. It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A. among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B. the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C. the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D. McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 63. If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A. The Shimmering State B. Dark and Magical Places C. Secret Worlds D. Once There Were Wolves (C) When Scientist Dr. Randal Voss does outreach events with his laboratory, he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders (蝾螈) called axolotls. Take one look at an axolotl, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes, upturned mouths and light pink coloring, axolotls look cheerful and vaguely idiot-like. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery, exploitation of the natural world, and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature. Most amphibians, once they reach adulthood, are able to move to land. Since they breathe, in part, by absorbing oxygen through their moist skin, they tend to stay near water. Axolotls, however, never complete the transformation to a land-dwelling adult form and spend their whole lives in the water. A signature feature of the axolotls’ forever-young look is their wrinkled external gills, which help them breathe in their watery home — the only spot they’re found in the wild: Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City. It’s a bit of a scientific mystery why axolotls don’t transform into adult, land-dwelling versions of themselves. One hypothesis, according to Dr. Luis Zambrano, a professor of zoology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, is that the environment in Lake Xochimilco had enough resources for the salamanders that “it was by far better for them not to expend energy transforming and stay in the lake.” In 1864, a French army officer brought live axolotls back to Europe, where scientists were surprised to learn that the seemingly juvenile (幼年的) aquatic salamanders were capable of reproduction. Since then, scientists around the world have studied axolotls and their DNA to learn about the salamanders’ unusual transformation as well as their ability to regrow injured body parts. In addition to their role in labs, axolotls have become popular in the exotic pet trade. However, the axolotls you might find at a pet shop are different from their wild relatives in Lake Xochimilco. Most wild axolotls are a dark grayish brown. The famous pink axolotls, as well as other color variants such as white, blue, yellow and black, are genetic abnormal phenomenon that are rare in the wild but selectively bred for the pet trade. What’s more, “most of the animals in the pet trade have a very small genetic divide,” Zambrano said. Pet axolotls tend to be inbred and lack the wide flow of different genes that makes up a healthy population in the wild. That means that the axolotl extinction crisis can’t simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. The introduction of axolotls to Minecraft in 2021 neatly led to a slight increase in Google searches for the animals, and social media makes it easy for people to gain access to photos and videos of the salamanders. The axolotl pet trade probably doesn’t directly harm the wild populations since wild salamanders aren’t being poached or taken from Lake Xochimilco. However, axolotls’ popularity and pet stores might make people assume that because axolotls live in all the tanks around the world, they are not in danger. Getting people to recognize that their favorite, friendly faced salamander doesn’t just exist in the vacuum of the internet, but in the real world where it faces severe conservation challenges still has a long way to go. 64. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. If resources were scarce, axolotls would likely transform. B. The mystery of axolotl’s evolution has been uncovered by Luis. C. Axolotls can thrive in Lake Xochimilco with limited resources. D. Axolotls don’t have enough energy and resources to transform. 65. The author will most probably agree that _________. A. the popularity of pet axolotls has also made their wild relatives popular in pet trade B. the inbreeding of pet axolotls could cause health issues not present in wild populations C. pet axolotls are more likely to adapt to environmental changes than their wild counterparts D. colorful wild salamanders are so popular that they are overfished to the point of extinction 66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph? A. Social media could mislead the public into thinking that axolotls are not endangered. B. Social media has no significant effect on the perception of axolotls among pet owners. C. The popularity of axolotls in pop culture will directly enhance their survival in the wild. D. Increased online visibility of axolotls causes greater public support for conservation efforts. 67. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Axolotls: Cute Faces, Critical Futures B. Axolotls: Special Colors, Ultimate Pets C. Saving Axolotls: The Combined Efforts D. Studying Axolotls: From Land to Water Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Global business:China’s new brand ambassadors Ask a westerner for an example of a successful Chinese consumer goods brand, and until recently most would have struggled. Although China is the world’s premier manufacturing power, it has long lagged behind when it comes to imaginative home-grown retail brands and products. This is now changing. ____68____ From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, a retailer of ice-cream and cold drinks, has dethroned McDonald’s as the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027. And Pop Mart, a Chinese toymaker, has created a buzz worthy of Disney around its strange grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. Fans include Rihanna, a pop star, and Sir David Beckham, a footballer. Western shoppers have bought goods made in China for decades. But these were largely made for, and designed by, foreign firms. More recently, internet retailers such as Shein and Temu have won over customers with cheap, cheerful clothes and consumer goods, while downplaying their Chinese origins. ____69____ Scandals around food safety and labour standards did not help. New firms are now overturning those old assumptions. Many happily advertise their roots. The logo of Chagee shows a Peking Opera singer in full headdress. “Black Myth: Wukong”, one of the most successful video games ever, features the Monkey King from “Journey to the West”, a 16th century novel. Many brands now compete on quality as well as price. Chagee’s drinks can be as costly as Starbucks. ____70____ In the past, Chinese firms typically succeeded by learning to replicate Western products cheaply. Now they are accumulating valuable intellectual property of their own. ____71____ Within China, the premium that foreign brands command simply for being foreign is eroding. In the future they will need to try harder to understand Chinese customers’ particular tastes and do deals with inventive Chinese partners, to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China may eventually push Disney, Mattel and other Western mega-brands to new heights of creativity. Chinese brands’ westward journey, like the Monkey King’s, could bring significant rewards. A. Chinese brands were long seen as poor-quality, unimaginative and unfairly subsidised. B. Western firms have to wake up and smell the bubble tea. C. Pop Mart toys, once dismissed as cheap trinkets, now command premium prices among global collectors. D. Innovative Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. E. Chinese EVs offer dazzling entertainment systems as well as low prices. F. Western companies may try to imitate Chinese brands’ approaches to innovation. IV. Summary Writing (10’) 72. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Be Careful with an “I Don’t Care” Attitude In today’s world, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often used to express freedom and relief. While this attitude can be liberating, it also comes with potential risks. Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference. The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up. Lei Jun, for instance, faced multiple skepticism when founding Xiaomi, but he kept searching for a new approach in the smartphone market without worrying about criticism. It was his perseverance in producing cost-effective phones that enabled him to win favor with massive users. As you can see in Lei’s example, ignoring external doubts can actually help us stay focused on our own goals. However, the “I don’t care” mindset can also have negative consequences if it stems from stubbornness or blame-shifting. Many relationships suffer because one person becomes indifferent to the feelings of others, focusing solely on their own desires and ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. At times, refusing to care serves as a defense mechanism to avoid responsibility, which can lead to a disaster. In the case of the 2008 financial crisis, many financial institutions claimed that the risky lending and mortgage practices were none of their business, which eventually led to massive layoffs and bankruptcies. It’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges? Ultimately, the key is balance. There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. By carefully choosing when to embrace the “I don’t care” attitude, we can lead more fulfilling lives. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Welcome to our series on how urban spaces are changing. Today we're going to talk about the evolution of city parks and why they matter more than ever. Our story starts in mid eighteen. Hundreds cities were booming because of industrial zh. Streets were packed with people, horses and carriages. But even with all this activity, there was a strong desire for peace and nature. That's when city parks like new york central park and london's hide park came in. They were like calm oasis in the busy cities. These parks were made to be a getaway from the noise and pollution of city life. Families could have picnics, kids could play and couples could walk together. As time moved on, parks change to fit the needs of city people. In the nineteen hundreds, parks started to add things like playgrounds, sports facilities and places for concerts. This made them community centers where everyone could join in different activities. In recent years, the focus has been on sustainability and keeping the environment safe. Many city parks now use solar lights, collect rainwater and have plants that are native to the area. These actions help lessen the environmental impact of the parks and teach visitors why it's important to take care of nature. Today, city parks are still very important for relaxation and fun. They help clean the air, lower stress and build a sense of community. Whether it's jogging in the morning, picnicking in the afternoon or listening to a concert in the evening. These Green spaces are a crucial part of city life, and that's our look at how city parks have grown and shaped our cities.

Why AI has not taken your job Almost every week the world takes another step in the direction of artificial general intelligence. In cities such as London and San Francisco, “How long do you reckon you have left in your job?” is a common topic of conversation. But is ChatGPT actually putting anyone out of work? Lots of experts claim that it is. Many point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, both of the University of Oxford, ____21____ suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in interpretation, translation and the like ____22____(be) 7% higher than a year ago. ____23____ point to Klarna, a tech firm, which had boasted about using the tech to automate customer service. But the company is now undertaking an about-turn. “There will always be a human if you want,” its boss, has recently said. Others still search through economic data to find signs that AI ____24____ cause many people to lose their jobs in the future. One popular measure is the ratio of the unemployment rate between recent college graduates and the overall American average. Young graduates are now ____25____(likely) than the average worker to be jobless. The explanation runs that they typically do entry-level jobs in knowledge-intensive industries- ____26____ _____27_____making slides in a management consultancy. It is exactly this sort of task that AI can do well. So maybe the technology has eliminated these jobs? Well, no. The data simply do not line up ____28____ any possible mechanism. Young graduates’ “relative unemployment” started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate, at around 6%, remains low. We examine American data on employment by occupation, singling out workers that are believed to be vulnerable to AI, including people in back-office support, financial operations and much more besides. There is a similar pattern here: we find no evidence of an AI hit. There are two ____29____(compete) explanations for these trends. The first is that, ____30____ the endless announcements about how firms are integrating AI into their operations, few make much use of the technology for serious work. An official measure suggests that less than 10% of American companies employ it to produce goods and services. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go. AI may simply help workers do their jobs faster. ______31______ the explanation, for now there is no need to panic. 【答案】21. which 22. is 23.

Giving up an unsuitable family pet can be heartbreaking, but, if the animal is an expensive working dog, it can also be financially ruinous to the family. Guide dogs, for example, can cost up to $50,000 to train, but about a third are returned because they don’t ____33____ with their allocated owner. To cut down on the number of ____34____ , researchers in Germany are trying to develop more harmonious relationships. Their work towards that goal has now confirmed what many dog owners already ____35____, and what some may be reluctant to admit: dogs really do look like their humans. More relevant to the quest for lasting friendships, they have similar personalities too. Yana Bender and her colleagues have reviewed the available evidence to show how the similarities show through. One domain concerns physical appearance. Though it might sound____36____, numerous studies in recent decades have shown that people really can match pictures of dogs to their owners more often and more____37____than would be possible with guesswork alone. Some sources of similarity are clear: women with short hair tend to own dogs with short ears, for example, and those with long hair tend to favour long-eared breeds. Other connections are less obvious, as shown by research revealing dogs and owners can be correctly ____38____ from pictures in which only their eyes are visible. A similar bias may be at play for invisible ____39____ as well, with owners’ personality traits mirrored in the way their dogs behave. Introverted owners have dogs that are more nervous around strangers while neurotics are more likely to pair with ____40____ pets. What is going on? Psychologists have known for decades that humans place more _____41_____ on relationships with people who look and behave like them, and the same seems to apply to dogs. 【答案】32. K 33. H 34. E 35.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了狗与主人在外表和性格方面存在相似性这一现象，以及该现象对狗与主人关系的影响，同时分析了其背后可能存在的心理学原因。 【32题详解】 考查动词。句意：尽管人们常说狗和人类是最好的朋友，但有时这两个物种的代表就是合不来。“don’t”为助动词否定形式，后接动词原形，结合后文“Giving up an unsuitable family pet can be heartbreaking”提及不合适的宠物可能被放弃，可知此处表达狗和人有时无法和谐相处，“click”意思是“合得来；一拍即合”，符合语境。故填K。 【33题详解】 考查动词。句意：例如，导盲犬的训练成本可能高达5万美元，但大约三分之一的导盲犬会被退回，因为它们与分配给它们的主人建立不了联系。“don’t”后接动词原形，根据“but about a third are returned”可知，狗因不能与主人建立良好联系而被退回，“bond”意思是“建立联系；产生亲密关系”，符合语境，体现狗与主人之间关系建立的情况。故填H。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：为了减少不匹配的情况，德国的研究人员正在努力建立更和谐的关系。“the number of +名词复数”，前文“but about a third are returned because they don’t ____ with their allocated owner.”可知，提到狗和主人因不契合导致狗被退回，所以这里指减少这种不匹配的状况，“mismatches”意思是“不匹配；不协调”，符合语境，用于说明研究人员想要减少的情况。故填E。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：他们朝着这个目标所做的工作现在证实了许多狗主人已经猜想的事情，以及一些人可能不愿意承认的事情：狗真的长得像它们的主人。“what”引导宾语从句，从句缺少谓语动词，根据后文证实了某些事，可知狗主人之前就有类似猜想，“suspect”意思是“怀疑；猜想”，符合语境，描述狗主人之前的心理状态。故填I。 【36题详解】 考查形容词。句意：虽然这听起来很离谱，但近几十年来的大量研究表明，人们确实能够比单纯猜测更频繁、更可靠地将狗的照片与它们的主人匹配起来。“sound”为系动词，后接形容词作表语，结合语境，狗长得像主人这件事乍一听可能觉得不可思议，“barking”在这里意为“（想法等）荒唐的；离谱的”，符合语境，用于描述这一想法给人的初印象。故填C。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：虽然这听起来很离谱，但近几十年来的大量研究表明，人们确实能够比单纯猜测更频繁、更可靠地将狗的照片与它们的主人匹配起来。“more...than”结构中，“and”连接两个并列比较级修饰动词“match”，需用副词，此处表示比单纯猜测更可靠地进行匹配，“reliably”意思是“可靠地；可信地”，符合语境，体现匹配的可靠程度。故填B。 【38题详解】 考查动词。句意：其他联系不太明显，正如研究表明的那样，从只露出眼睛的照片中，狗和主人也能被正确地匹配起来。“be +过去分词”构成被动语态，根据“from pictures in which only their eyes are visible.”可知，这里表示狗和主人在照片中被进行匹配这一动作，“paired”是“pair”的过去分词，意思是“使配对；匹配”，符合语境，用于被动结构中表示匹配的动作。故填J。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：对于无形的特征，可能也存在类似的倾向，主人的个性特征会反映在他们的狗的行为方式上。“invisible”为形容词，修饰名词，根据“with owners’ personality traits”可知，这里指像性格等无形的特征，“characteristics”意思是“特征；特性”，符合语境。故填F。 【40题详解】 考查形容词。句意：内向的主人养的狗在陌生人面前更紧张，而神经质的主人则更有可能养有攻击性的宠物。“pets”为名词，用形容词修饰，根据前文“neurotics”主人性格与狗行为的对应关系，“aggressive”意思是“好斗的；有攻击性的”，符合语境。故填G。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：几十年来，心理学家们都知道，人类更重视与那些长相和行为与自己相似的人的关系，这一点似乎对狗也适用。“place more value on”为固定搭配，意为“更重视……”，“value”意思是“价值”，符合语境，用于该固定搭配中表达人类对特定关系的重视程度。故填A。 Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (45’) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Self-driving cars are gradually transitioning from science fiction to reality. The benefits are clear: passengers can use their ____42____ to relax, work, or be entertained while reducing accidents caused by human error. Additionally, autonomous vehicles offer increased ____43____ for individuals unable to drive themselves. However, ____44____ control in the complex environment of road traffic requires highly advanced technology. Ongoing developments aim to bring fully autonomous vehicles to our roads, and one key area of focus is how these cars can ____45____ effectively — such as sharing updates on road conditions — to enhance safety and efficiency. Self-driving vehicles rely on sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) to make ____46____ decisions and navigate roads with minimal human input. The Society of Automotive Engineers classifies vehicle automation into six levels, from 0 (fully manual) to 5 (fully autonomous, meaning the vehicle can drive itself in all conditions without human ____47____). So far, no self-driving car has achieved full autonomy. The most advanced models, such as self-driving taxi services in California and Arizona, currently operate at Level 4. However, widespread adoption faces ____48____, including the potential for accidents and concerns over data privacy. AI enables autonomous vehicles to exchange knowledge when they interact directly, improving road navigation instantly. However, conventional model-sharing methods ____49____ immediate, one-on-one exchanges, which facilitate adaptation to new conditions. This is ____50____ how humans would struggle to spread information efficiently if they had to meet every recipient in person rather than passing messages through others. To overcome this limitation, researchers have introduced a new approach called Cached Decentralized Federated Learning (Cached-DFL). This method enhances how vehicles learn from one another, even if they ____51____ cross paths. Unlike traditional Federated Learning, which depends on a central server for updates, Cached-DFL allows vehicles to train AI models independently and exchange them directly. When two vehicles come within close range — about 100 meters — they use high-speed communication to share trained models rather than transmitting ____52____ data. This significantly accelerates adaptation and enhances learning efficiency compared to earlier decentralized approaches. Cached-DFL addresses the challenge of enabling autonomous vehicles to learn from one another while ____53____ data security. With this technology, self-driving cars can share crucial information about road conditions, signals, and obstacles — especially beneficial in urban areas where vehicles experience ____54____ conditions but seldom interact long enough for conventional learning methods to be effective. As AI shifts from centralized servers to edge devices, Cached-DFL offers a secure and efficient way for self-driving cars to evolve collectively, improving their intelligence and adaptability. Moreover, this technology extends beyond autonomous vehicles; it can be ____55____ other networked systems of smart mobile agents — such as drones, robots, and satellites — to achieve decentralized learning and swarm intelligence. With researchers making their code publicly available, these advancements have the potential to accelerate innovation across ____56____ industries. 42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Jameson Lobb, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was just one week into his new job on Wall Street. Over the past month, he’d been settling into the New York City apartment he was sharing with his college buddy, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri. On Oct. 4, 2023, the two were squeezing in a lunchtime workout on Pier 15, overlooking the East River, when Lobb froze. “Somebody’s in the water,” he said. Before Jafri could respond, Lobb climbed over the rail at the edge of the pier and leaped into the cold water without taking the time to remove his shoes. What Lobb had heard was an alarmed fisherman shouting nearly 50 yards away, “Help! He’s in the water!” And what he’d seen was a person floating, lifeless. Jafri didn’t need to see the victim. Maybe Lobb saw someone in the water who needs our help, he thought. Or maybe it’s Lobb who needs my help. Either way, I’m going in. He pulled off his shoes and swan-dived. Approaching the unconscious victim, Lobb saw that it was a middle-aged man. He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. The rescuer dove, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both resurfaced. The two friends floated the man on his back. As Jafri looped his arms around the man’s shoulders and Lobb supported the hips and knees, the pair took great pains back to Pier 15. Their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the freezing water. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How to get out? The pier’s decking stood an unreachable 10 feet above their heads. Suddenly the man stirred, breathing again, and beat Jafri confusedly in the face before fading back to near unconsciousness. On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the onlookers produced a rope and a life preserver, which they threw to Jafri and Lobb. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man’s body slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier. Both men, thoroughly exhausted from 15-plus minutes in the water and bleeding from numerous cuts, watched as rescue workers loaded the nearly drowned man into an ambulance and drove away. Lobb and Jafri never learned who he was, what became of him or how he’d fallen into the river. In place of that knowledge, they have a story they get to tell now, another experience that has further cemented their bond. Lots of people were on the piers that day, yet only the two of them jumped in the water - because, they say, they were the fittest people there and, so, had a moral responsibility. “If I know I’m capable,” Lobb says, “why wouldn’t I help?” Jafri adds, laughing, “People always say `If your friend jumps off a cliff, are you jumping?’ I think I answered that one.” 57. What’s the relationship between Lobb and Jafri? A. banker and client B. employer and employee C. workmates D. roommates 58. Which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Jafri rushed to be the first to rescue the victim, but he failed. B. The victim unintentionally gave Jafri a blow in the face. C. The rescue workers spent 15-plus minutes pulling the victim out. D. Lobb and Jafri were voted as the fittest to jump into the water. 59. When it comes to the difficulties in the rescue, Lobb and Jafri met with ________. (1) the cold and polluted water (2) the victim’s heavy weight (3) the unreachable deck (4) their muscle fatigue (5) onlookers’ indifference A. (1)(2)(3) B. (2)(3)(4) C. (1)(4)(5) D. (2)(4)(5) 60. The best title of this story might be ________. A. The fittest survives B. Friends in deed C. No pain, no gain D. More haste, less speed 【答案】57. D 58. B 59. B 60. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Lobb和室友Jafri在纽约东河旁奋不顾身跳入冰冷河水，合力救起一名落水男子，虽不知其后续，但二人的友谊与责任感得以彰显。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Over the past month, he’d been settling into the New York City apartment he was sharing with his college buddy, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri.(过去一个月里，他一直都在慢慢适应这套和大学好友合住的纽约公寓，这位好友是名叫Raphael Jafri的人工智能工程师。)”可知，两人是室友关系。故选D项。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Suddenly the man stirred, breathing again, and beat Jafri confusedly in the face before fading back to near unconsciousness.(突然，这名男子动了起来，恢复了呼吸，在迷糊中打了Jafri的脸，之后又近乎失去意识。)”可知，受害者无意中打了Jafri的脸。故选B项。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“He was big, around 200 pounds, respectably dressed and sinking fast. The rescuer dove, grasped the man and kicked upward until they both resurfaced. The two friends floated the man on his back. As Jafri looped his arms around the man’s shoulders and Lobb supported the hips and knees, the pair took great pains back to Pier 15. Their muscles burned as they pushed and pulled the immobile figure through the freezing water.(他身形壮硕，体重约200磅，衣着体面，却在水中迅速下沉。救援者纵身跃入水中，抓住男子，蹬水向上，直至两人一同浮出水面。两位友人让男子仰躺着保持漂浮，贾弗里用胳膊环住他的肩膀，洛布托住他的髋部和膝盖，二人费尽气力将他拖向15号码头。他们在冰冷的水里推拽着这名无法动弹的男子，肌肉灼痛不已。)”以及第六段“The pier’s decking stood an unreachable 10 feet above their heads.(码头的甲板高出他们头顶10英尺，无法够到)”可知，他们遇到的困难有：受害者体重很重、甲板够不着、肌肉疲劳。故选B项。 【60题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第三段“In place of that knowledge, they have a story they get to tell now, another experience that has further cemented their bond.(虽然不知道落水者的后续，但他们拥有了可以讲述的故事，这段经历进一步巩固了他们的情谊。)”以及上文讲两人一同勇敢救人的行为可知，这故事体现了患难见真情。B项适合用作标题，故选B项。 (B) The Shimmering State by Meredith Westgate. Atria Books, 2021 ($27) Memoroxin, a personalized pill that replaces memories in people with Alzheimer’s, is being abused as a recreational drug. Disconnected from reality, Lucien and Sophie meet at a “Mem” health recovery center in Los Angeles, where personal psychological traumas, along with foreign memories, can be removed. They feel drawn to each other; have they met before? Like the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , The Shimmering State explores whether the joys and pains of love can ever be fully erased. Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness. —Jen Schwartz Dark and Magical Places: The Neuroscience of Navigation by Christopher Kemp. W.W. Norton, 2022 ($26.95) Navigation is one of the most complex cognitive tasks humans engage in daily. In this fascinating dive into the brain, neurobiology researcher Christopher Kemp explores how we orient where we’re going, why we lose our way, and what scientists know about how we do both these things. Kemp’s explanations of concepts such as grid cells are clear and engaging, but the book shines brightest in his entertaining descriptions of his own chronic lostness, as well as in surprisingly moving stories about people who have wandered dangerously off route. Some make it home, but others don’t. —Tess Joosse Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals by Martin Stevens. Oxford University Press, 2021 ($25.95) Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans. The book has a narrative and inquisitive style that will show examples of the amazing capabilities they allow, from nocturnal dung beetles that orientate by using the Milky Way to sea turtles that navigate currents by reading the earth’s magnetic fields. Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world. —Jen St.Jude Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. Flatiron Books, 2021 ($27.99) Australian writer Charlotte McConaghy (author of Migrations ) delivers a thrilling and touching novel about a woman named Inti Flynn and her team of biologists who reintroduce gray wolves into Scotland’s remote Highlands. At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves. Her story unfolds as a social and scientific meditation on the consequences of influencing ecosystems, while reminding us that humans and animals alike can break our hearts. —Amy Brady 61. What can we infer from the introduction of The Shimmering State? A. Memoroxin, which cures Alzheimer’s, is a recreational drug. B. Lucien and Sophie feel drawn to each other for foreign memories. C. The book suggests the joys and pains of love should be completely removed. D. Editing consciousness by a technology may bring about some moral problems. 62. It can be learned from the whole passage that__________. A. among the four books, only Dark and Magical Places touches upon the topic of navigation B. the heroine in Once There Were Wolves doesn’t believe the farmer is hurt by wolves C. the highlights of Dark and Magical Places are Kemp’s explanations of some concepts D. McConaghy’s novel merely focuses on the social and scientific impact on the ecosystems 63. If Bob is interested in science and wants to gain more insight into animals’ perception of the world, which of the books should be recommended? A. The Shimmering State B. Dark and Magical Places C. Secret Worlds D. Once There Were Wolves 【答案】61. D 62. B 63. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要以书籍推荐的形式，分别介绍了四本不同类型的书籍，包括科幻小说、神经生物学科普书、动物感官科普书和生态主题小说，简要说明了每本书的作者、出版社、定价及核心内容。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据《The Shimmering State》部分中的“Through interconnected relationships, the novel delves into some of the moral dilemmas of a technology that can catalog and edit consciousness.(这部小说通过人与人之间紧密相连的关系，深入探讨了一种能够记录并编辑人类意识的技术所引发的一些道德困境)”可推断，利用该技术编辑意识可能会带来一些道德层面的问题。故选D。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据《Once There Were Wolves》部分中的“At first, the wolves seem to thrive, but when a farmer gets hurt, she suspects the man she loves.(起初，这些狼似乎适应得很好，但当一位农夫遭遇意外受伤后，她却怀疑上了自己深爱的男人)”可知，农夫受伤后，女主角并未怀疑是狼造成的，反而怀疑自己爱的人，由此可推断她不相信农夫是被狼所伤。故选B。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据《Secret Worlds: The Extraordinary Senses of Animals》部分中的“Ecologist Martin Stevens catalogs animals’ sensory systems and how they exceed our own while informing and challenging our reality as humans.(生态学家马丁·史蒂文斯详细记载了动物的感官系统，以及这些系统如何超越人类的感官系统，同时为人类认知现实提供新的视角，也对人类既有的认知提出挑战)”和“Secret Worlds is filled with lessons on how different species evolved to perceive the world.(《神秘世界》一书详细阐述了不同物种如何进化出感知世界的能力)”可知，这两句话明确说明该书围绕动物的感官系统展开，讲解了不同动物感知世界的方式，恰好契合Bob想要了解动物对世界的感知这一需求。故选C。 (C) When Scientist Dr. Randal Voss does outreach events with his laboratory, he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders (蝾螈) called axolotls. Take one look at an axolotl, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes, upturned mouths and light pink coloring, axolotls look cheerful and vaguely idiot-like. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery, exploitation of the natural world, and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature. Most amphibians, once they reach adulthood, are able to move to land. Since they breathe, in part, by absorbing oxygen through their moist skin, they tend to stay near water. Axolotls, however, never complete the transformation to a land-dwelling adult form and spend their whole lives in the water. A signature feature of the axolotls’ forever-young look is their wrinkled external gills, which help them breathe in their watery home — the only spot they’re found in the wild: Lake Xochimilco in Mexico City. It’s a bit of a scientific mystery why axolotls don’t transform into adult, land-dwelling versions of themselves. One hypothesis, according to Dr. Luis Zambrano, a professor of zoology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, is that the environment in Lake Xochimilco had enough resources for the salamanders that “it was by far better for them not to expend energy transforming and stay in the lake.” In 1864, a French army officer brought live axolotls back to Europe, where scientists were surprised to learn that the seemingly juvenile (幼年的) aquatic salamanders were capable of reproduction. Since then, scientists around the world have studied axolotls and their DNA to learn about the salamanders’ unusual transformation as well as their ability to regrow injured body parts. In addition to their role in labs, axolotls have become popular in the exotic pet trade. However, the axolotls you might find at a pet shop are different from their wild relatives in Lake Xochimilco. Most wild axolotls are a dark grayish brown. The famous pink axolotls, as well as other color variants such as white, blue, yellow and black, are genetic abnormal phenomenon that are rare in the wild but selectively bred for the pet trade. What’s more, “most of the animals in the pet trade have a very small genetic divide,” Zambrano said. Pet axolotls tend to be inbred and lack the wide flow of different genes that makes up a healthy population in the wild. That means that the axolotl extinction crisis can’t simply be solved by dumping pet axolotls into Lake Xochimilco. The introduction of axolotls to Minecraft in 2021 neatly led to a slight increase in Google searches for the animals, and social media makes it easy for people to gain access to photos and videos of the salamanders. The axolotl pet trade probably doesn’t directly harm the wild populations since wild salamanders aren’t being poached or taken from Lake Xochimilco. However, axolotls’ popularity and pet stores might make people assume that because axolotls live in all the tanks around the world, they are not in danger. Getting people to recognize that their favorite, friendly faced salamander doesn’t just exist in the vacuum of the internet, but in the real world where it faces severe conservation challenges still has a long way to go. 64. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. If resources were scarce, axolotls would likely transform. B. The mystery of axolotl’s evolution has been uncovered by Luis. C. Axolotls can thrive in Lake Xochimilco with limited resources. D. Axolotls don’t have enough energy and resources to transform. 65. The author will most probably agree that _________. A. the popularity of pet axolotls has also made their wild relatives popular in pet trade B. the inbreeding of pet axolotls could cause health issues not present in wild populations C. pet axolotls are more likely to adapt to environmental changes than their wild counterparts D. colorful wild salamanders are so popular that they are overfished to the point of extinction 66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph? A. Social media could mislead the public into thinking that axolotls are not endangered. B. Social media has no significant effect on the perception of axolotls among pet owners. C. The popularity of axolotls in pop culture will directly enhance their survival in the wild. D. Increased online visibility of axolotls causes greater public support for conservation efforts. 67. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Axolotls: Cute Faces, Critical Futures B. Axolotls: Special Colors, Ultimate Pets C. Saving Axolotls: The Combined Efforts D. Studying Axolotls: From Land to Water 【答案】64. A 65. B 66. A 67. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍墨西哥蝾螈外形可爱、终生水生、具备再生能力，有重要科研价值。人工宠物螈与野生种群差异大，其走红易让人忽视野生个体正面临濒危的严峻现实。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s a bit of a scientific mystery why axolotls don’t transform into adult, land-dwelling versions of themselves. One hypothesis, according to Dr. Luis Zambrano, a professor of zoology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, is that the environment in Lake Xochimilco had enough resources for the salamanders that “it was by far better for them not to expend energy transforming and stay in the lake.”(至于蝾螈为何不会转变成成年陆生形态的自身版本，这在科学上仍是一个谜。据墨西哥国立自治大学动物学教授路易斯·赞布拉诺博士所述，有一种假设认为，锡科尔米科湖的环境为这些蝾螈提供了充足的资源，因此“它们不花费能量进行转变，而是在湖中保持原状，这种选择显然要好得多。”)”可推知，如果资源匮乏，蝾螈很可能会发生变形。故选A。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Pet axolotls tend to be inbred and lack the wide flow of different genes that makes up a healthy population in the wild.(宠物蝾螈往往存在近亲繁殖的情况，而且它们缺乏野生环境中健康种群所应有的各种基因的广泛流动)”可知，作者很可能会认同，宠物蝾螈的近亲繁殖可能会导致与野生种群不同的健康问题。故选B。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, axolotls’ popularity and pet stores might make people assume that because axolotls live in all the tanks around the world, they are not in danger.(然而，由于美西蝾螈受欢迎且有专门的宠物店出售，人们可能会认为由于美西蝾螈遍布全球各地的水族箱中，所以它们并不处于危险之中)”可知，A选项“社交媒体可能会误导公众，让他们误以为蝾螈并不处于濒危状态”正确。故选A。 【67题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When Scientist Dr. Randal Voss does outreach events with his laboratory, he encounters people who are keen to meet his research subjects: aquatic salamanders (蝾螈) called axolotls. Take one look at an axolotl, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. With their wide eyes, upturned mouths and light pink coloring, axolotls look cheerful and vaguely idiot-like. But there’s more to axolotls than meets the eye: Their story is one of scientific discovery, exploitation of the natural world, and the work to rebuild humans’ connection with nature.(当科学家拉尔登·沃斯博士和他的实验室开展科普活动时，总会遇到一些人，他们非常渴望见到他的研究对象——一种被称为“亚索托尔”的水生蝾螈。只要看一眼这种蝾螈，就不难理解它为何如此受欢迎。它们有着大大的眼睛、上翘的嘴巴和浅粉色的体色，看起来既欢快又有点傻乎乎的。但亚索托尔的内涵远不止于此：它们的故事是关于科学发现、对自然界的开发利用以及重建人类与自然的联系等方面的内容)”结合文章介绍墨西哥蝾螈外形可爱、终生水生、具备再生能力，有重要科研价值。人工宠物螈与野生种群差异大，其走红易让人忽视野生个体正面临濒危的严峻现实。可知，A选项“蝾螈：可爱的外表，危急的未来”最符合文章标题。故选A。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Global business:China’s new brand ambassadors Ask a westerner for an example of a successful Chinese consumer goods brand, and until recently most would have struggled. Although China is the world’s premier manufacturing power, it has long lagged behind when it comes to imaginative home-grown retail brands and products. This is now changing. ____68____ From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric car gliding silently by is increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, a retailer of ice-cream and cold drinks, has dethroned McDonald’s as the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027. And Pop Mart, a Chinese toymaker, has created a buzz worthy of Disney around its strange grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubus. Fans include Rihanna, a pop star, and Sir David Beckham, a footballer. Western shoppers have bought goods made in China for decades. But these were largely made for, and designed by, foreign firms. More recently, internet retailers such as Shein and Temu have won over customers with cheap, cheerful clothes and consumer goods, while downplaying their Chinese origins. ____69____ Scandals around food safety and labour standards did not help. New firms are now overturning those old assumptions. Many happily advertise their roots. The logo of Chagee shows a Peking Opera singer in full headdress. “Black Myth: Wukong”, one of the most successful video games ever, features the Monkey King from “Journey to the West”, a 16th century novel. Many brands now compete on quality as well as price. Chagee’s drinks can be as costly as Starbucks. ____70____ In the past, Chinese firms typically succeeded by learning to replicate Western products cheaply. Now they are accumulating valuable intellectual property of their own. ____71____ Within China, the premium that foreign brands command simply for being foreign is eroding. In the future they will need to try harder to understand Chinese customers’ particular tastes and do deals with inventive Chinese partners, to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China may eventually push Disney, Mattel and other Western mega-brands to new heights of creativity. Chinese brands’ westward journey, like the Monkey King’s, could bring significant rewards. A. Chinese brands were long seen as poor-quality, unimaginative and unfairly subsidised. B. Western firms have to wake up and smell the bubble tea. C. Pop Mart toys, once dismissed as cheap trinkets, now command premium prices among global collectors. D. Innovative Chinese brands are popping up everywhere. E. Chinese EVs offer dazzling entertainment systems as well as low prices. F. Western companies may try to imitate Chinese brands’ approaches to innovation. 【答案】68. D 69. A 70. E 71.

Summary Writing (10’) 72. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. Be Careful with an “I Don’t Care” Attitude In today’s world, the “I don’t care” attitude is becoming increasingly popular. Phrases like “I don’t care what anybody thinks” are often used to express freedom and relief. While this attitude can be liberating, it also comes with potential risks. Understanding when to adopt this mindset can make a great difference. The “I don’t care” attitude can be quite beneficial when it motivates us to persevere, especially when others have given up. Lei Jun, for instance, faced multiple skepticism when founding Xiaomi, but he kept searching for a new approach in the smartphone market without worrying about criticism. It was his perseverance in producing cost-effective phones that enabled him to win favor with massive users. As you can see in Lei’s example, ignoring external doubts can actually help us stay focused on our own goals. However, the “I don’t care” mindset can also have negative consequences if it stems from stubbornness or blame-shifting. Many relationships suffer because one person becomes indifferent to the feelings of others, focusing solely on their own desires and ignoring how interconnected people’s needs are. At times, refusing to care serves as a defense mechanism to avoid responsibility, which can lead to a disaster. In the case of the 2008 financial crisis, many financial institutions claimed that the risky lending and mortgage practices were none of their business, which eventually led to massive layoffs and bankruptcies. It’s crucial to reflect on why we adopt the “I don’t care” attitude. Are we motivated by confidence in our decisions, or are we simply avoiding challenges? Ultimately, the key is balance. There are times when it’s crucial to care deeply about others, the truth, and personal growth. At other times, it’s equally important to remain indifferent to negativity, distractions, or unnecessary pressures. By carefully choosing when to embrace the “I don’t care” attitude, we can lead more fulfilling lives. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Be cautious about the “I don’t care” attitude. While it can motivate perseverance by helping us stay focused on our goals despite external challenges, it also has two downsides — stubbornness and a tendency to shift blame. Indifference can damage relationships, and avoiding responsibility can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, strive for balance — care about the positive and ignore the negative.

As senior three students, I feel worried about this phenomenon. On the one hand, relying on AI to finish homework raises serious academic honesty issues. It prevents us from practicing and improving our English abilities. If we always let AI write for us, we will gradually lose independent thinking and writing skills, which are crucial for exams and future development. On the other hand, AI itself is not bad. It can be a useful helper if used properly. We can use it to check grammar, learn useful expressions or get inspiration, rather than copy answers directly. In my view, we should use high-tech tools wisely. Homework is for learning, not for finishing quickly. Let us take responsibility for our studies, use AI as a helper instead of a replacement, and make real progress in English learning. Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生在班会课上发表一次对全班同学的演讲，谈谈你对使用ChatGPT等AI工具来完成英语翻译和写作这件事情的看法、以及你对如何使用 AI 工具的思考。 【详解】1.词汇积累 担心：worried→concerned 依赖：rely on→count on 重要的：crucial→essential 明智地：wisely→advisably 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：We can use it to check grammar, learn useful expressions or get inspiration, rather than copy answers directly. 拓展句：We can use it to check grammar, learn useful expressions or get inspiration, which means we should not copy answers directly. 【点睛】【高分句型1】If we always let AI write for us, we will gradually lose independent thinking and writing skills, which are crucial for exams and future development.（运用了if引导条件状语从句和which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】It can be a useful helper if used properly.（运用了状语从句的省略） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
