For many older adults,the simple joy of a bike ride feels out of reach.Cycling Without Age bridges that gap,pairing seniors with younger volunteers.These young people are called "pilots." They ride alongside seniors,ensuring every journey is safe,joyful,and shared. Take Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence for example.Despite the 20 years'gap in age,they have been riding together for years.56-year-old Lawrence pilots the trishaw (while Lyon enjoys the ride.Every week,the two explore their town.Lyon would ask about its streets and history,while Lawrence was happy to share what he knew."This program has brought me a meaningful connection with an older generation,which means a lot to me since my parents are no longer with me,"Lawrence says. That same spirit inspires John Boettner,who leads a local Cycling Without Age chapter in Santa Barbara.He has one gentle rule for his passengers."People always ask,How much does a ride cost?""he says."I tell them,Just smile and wave to everyone we pass.""Boettner cherishes 试卷第4页，共13页 red lights,because they are little windows for connection,a chance for his passengers to exchange smiles and stories with strangers on the street."Driving the trishaw is our best advertisement,"he adds."When a 101-year-old woman holds your hand tight and says thank you,it's a moment you'll never forget..” Ole Kassow,who founded Cycling Without Age,sees these moments as part of something greater."What makes these rides so powerful is how riding softens the lines between generations and helps people form new friendships,"he says."I believe that friendship,or the ability to open your heart and care for others at any age,brings energy and warmth to life,making it richer and better.” 24.What was Lawrence's greatest gain from Cycling Without Age? A.A clear goal.B.A brave heart. C.A curious mind.D.A treasured bond. 25.What can we infer from paragraph 3? A.Riders are enriched by giving rides. B.The program needs to be advertised. C.Passengers have to pay for the rides D.Red lights teach people patience and care. 26.What does Ole Kassow emphasize in his words? A.The pleasure of cycling. B.The value of the program. C.The power ofyoung people. D.The definition of a good life. 27.Which of the following best matches the idea in the passage? A.A sweet friendship comes from trust.B.A heart that connects is always young. C.Don't go through life,grow through life.D.Happiness is a journey,not a destination. In 1998,researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anctony ofa Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine.In the paper,they anticipated the rise of algorithms().Later that same year,the two developed the search algorithm,PageRank,which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page. Today,PageRank is still around,but it has fallen victim to algorithms.The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise:to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves.Instead,we're trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality,all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild. 试卷第5页，共13页 Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it's been"selected for you".But they don't recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be.Because of their overly simplistic calculations,we are rarely shown anything new, different,or exciting.For example,Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over. The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes.The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up.But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles.Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate()in such environments. We already see this happening.It's why every single new movie is either a reboot,remake, requel,prequel,or sequel().And it's why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood. Undoubtedly,algorithms are here to stay.But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners.We all have a hand in making that happen. 28.How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998? A.They broke its original promise. B.They boosted its development. C.They prevented it from going wild.D.They shifted its focus to individuality. 29.What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3? A.It can always amaze and excite us. B.It is based on complex calculations. C.It features repetition and predictability.D.It matches our ever-changing tastes 30.Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5? A.To highlight the universality of algorithms. B.To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation. C.To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles. D.To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation. 31.What is the author's main purpose in writing the text? A.To remind us to make full use of algorithms. B.To encourage innovation in algorithmic design. C.To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms. 试卷第6页，共13页 D.To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap. When asked to evaluate how good we are at something,we often get that estimation completely wrong.This is a common human tendency,with the effect seen most strongly in those with lower abilities.Known as the Dunning-Kruger effect,this phenomenon means people who are not very good at a task tend to be overconfident,while those with high ability often underestimate their skills. However,a new Aalto University study found AI almost removes,even reverse ()the Dunning-Kruger effect.Research showed common chatbots led everyone,regardless of skill,to over-trust AI answers.Surprisingly,most experienced AI users did this most.Researchers expected familiarity would improve self-assessment,but instead found a significant inability to accurately judge performance when using AI. The reasons behind these findings are varied.Because aI users were often satisfied with the AI's answer after only one question,accepting it without further checking,they engaged in what researchers call"cognitive offloading".This means approaching the task in a more"shallow"way, with reduced reflection.Less engagement in our own reasoning,termed "metacognitive monitoring'”(元认知监控)，means we bypass the usual critical thinking process,which reduces our ability to accurately judge our performance. This study warns of several potential consequences as AI becomes more widespread. Relying more on AI results without carefully questioning them could lead to a decline in our overall critical thinking skills.We risk losing our ability to find reliable information independently Furthermore,this trend means we will all continue to overestimate our abilities when using Al, especially those more familiar with it.This could result in more poor decisions and a loss of important skills. To prevent such problems,the study suggests that AI itself should encourage users to ask more questions.Developers could design AI responses to promote reflection,perhaps by asking, "How confident are you in this answer?"or"What might you have missed?The research also supports the growing belief that AI education should include critical thinking,not just technical skills 32.What does the Dunning-Kruger effect imply about self-assessment? 试卷第7页，共13页 A.It is often inaccurate. B.It improves with practice. C.It reflects true competence D.It is stable across individuals. 33.What does the study imply about experienced AI users? A.They are less reliant on AI. B.They are more overconfident. C.They assess AI answers better. D.They improve their self-evaluation. 34.Why do users often misjudge their performance with AI? A.To avoid self reflection. B.To follow AI's initial output. C.To reduce their mental effort. D.To achieve a quicker task completion. 35.Which of the following questions should AI ask to promote user reflection? A.How much time should you spend on this? B.Is there a simpler version of this problem? C.Would you like me to search for more data? D.What is your reasoning behind this answer? Everybody wants to hang out with fun people.Nobody wants to be classified as"boring". It's just that some of us need a little help in this department.Being fun to hang out with fun people starts with developing healthy self-esteem ()an adventurous spirit,and a kind personality. 36-· Be confident.37.Before you even begin trying to become a fun person,you have to believe you can be a fun person.Nothing is wrong with believing in yourself,and it's looked up to but never looked down on.Most confident people have insecurities. Show interest.Listen and show kindness to others during conversation.If people think they can talk to you about anything,they'll invite you to hang out more often.38.If you ignore people or always talk about yourself,they won't invite you anymore. 试卷第8页，共13页 39.Focus on the positive aspects of your life,what you are looking forward to,or what you want to do.We all know that sadness needs company,but if you are unhappy all the time, others won't want to hang out with you Smile.Looking the part of a fun person is half the battle,and it's not even really much of a battle because once you get the hang of it,smiling just becomes a reflex,and an attractive one at that. Learn how to "hang out".40.Some people like to just sit around casually,watch TV,play games,or just talk.For others,hanging out can mean doing interesting activities outside the home.Figure out what your friends consider hanging out to be and then tailor your interests to that crowd. A.Be positive B.Hold the conversation C.Don't control the conversation D.Have a healthy sense of self or good self-esteem E.Hanging out means the same thing to every person F.All of this will make you an ideal person to hang out with G.Hanging out can mean different things to different people 三、完形填空 Need a quick fix for your wom-out shoes?In Sunshine Community,there's a small shoe-repair stall run by Lee,who's been 41 footwear for decades.Not only does this stall fix shoes,it also fixes people's 42 about worn-out favorites.

These young people are called “pilots.” They ride alongside seniors, ensuring every journey is safe, joyful, and shared. Take Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence for example. Despite the 20 years’ gap in age, they have been riding together for years. 56-year-old Lawrence pilots the trishaw (三轮车) while Lyon enjoys the ride. Every week, the two explore their town. Lyon would ask about its streets and history, while Lawrence was happy to share what he knew. “This program has brought me a meaningful connection with an older generation, which means a lot to me since my parents are no longer with me,” Lawrence says. That same spirit inspires John Boettner, who leads a local Cycling Without Age chapter in Santa Barbara. He has one gentle rule for his passengers. “People always ask, ‘How much does a ride cost?’” he says. “I tell them, ‘Just smile and wave to everyone we pass.’” Boettner cherishes red lights, because they are little windows for connection, a chance for his passengers to exchange smiles and stories with strangers on the street. “Driving the trishaw is our best advertisement,” he adds. “When a 101-year-old woman holds your hand tight and says thank you, it’s a moment you’ll never forget.” Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, sees these moments as part of something greater. “What makes these rides so powerful is how riding softens the lines between generations and helps people form new friendships,” he says. “I believe that friendship, or the ability to open your heart and care for others at any age, brings energy and warmth to life, making it richer and better.” 24．What was Lawrence’s greatest gain from Cycling Without Age? A．A clear goal. B．A brave heart. C．A curious mind. D．A treasured bond. 25．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．Riders are enriched by giving rides. B．The program needs to be advertised. C．Passengers have to pay for the rides D．Red lights teach people patience and care. 26．What does Ole Kassow emphasize in his words? A．The pleasure of cycling. B．The value of the program. C．The power of young people. D．The definition of a good life. 27．Which of the following best matches the idea in the passage? A．A sweet friendship comes from trust. B．A heart that connects is always young. C．Don’t go through life, grow through life. D．Happiness is a journey, not a destination. C In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they anticipated the rise of algorithms(算法). Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page. Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild. Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over. The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate(停滞) in such environments. We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel(续集). And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood. Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen. 28．How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998? A．They broke its original promise. B．They boosted its development. C．They prevented it from going wild. D．They shifted its focus to individuality. 29．What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3? A．It can always amaze and excite us. B．It is based on complex calculations. C．It features repetition and predictability. D．It matches our ever-changing tastes. 30．Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5? A．To highlight the universality of algorithms. B．To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation. C．To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles. D．To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation. 31．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A．To remind us to make full use of algorithms. B．To encourage innovation in algorithmic design. C．To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms. D．To urge us to try to get out of the algorithmic trap. D When asked to evaluate how good we are at something, we often get that estimation completely wrong. This is a common human tendency, with the effect seen most strongly in those with lower abilities. Known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, this phenomenon means people who are not very good at a task tend to be overconfident, while those with high ability often underestimate their skills. However, a new Aalto University study found AI almost removes, even reverse (逆转), the Dunning-Kruger effect. Research showed common chatbots led everyone, regardless of skill, to over-trust AI answers. Surprisingly, most experienced AI users did this most. Researchers expected familiarity would improve self-assessment, but instead found a significant inability to accurately judge performance when using AI. The reasons behind these findings are varied. Because AI users were often satisfied with the AI’s answer after only one question, accepting it without further checking, they engaged in what researchers call “cognitive offloading”. This means approaching the task in a more “shallow” way, with reduced reflection. Less engagement in our own reasoning, termed “metacognitive monitoring” (元认知监控), means we bypass the usual critical thinking process, which reduces our ability to accurately judge our performance. This study warns of several potential consequences as AI becomes more widespread. Relying more on AI results without carefully questioning them could lead to a decline in our overall critical thinking skills. We risk losing our ability to find reliable information independently. Furthermore, this trend means we will all continue to overestimate our abilities when using AI, especially those more familiar with it. This could result in more poor decisions and a loss of important skills. To prevent such problems, the study suggests that AI itself should encourage users to ask more questions. Developers could design AI responses to promote reflection, perhaps by asking, “How confident are you in this answer?” or “What might you have missed?” The research also supports the growing belief that AI education should include critical thinking, not just technical skills. 32．What does the Dunning-Kruger effect imply about self-assessment? A．It is often inaccurate. B．It improves with practice. C．It reflects true competence. D．It is stable across individuals. 33．What does the study imply about experienced AI users? A．They are less reliant on AI. B．They are more overconfident. C．They assess AI answers better. D．They improve their self-evaluation. 34．Why do users often misjudge their performance with AI? A．To avoid self reflection. B．To follow AI’s initial output. C．To reduce their mental effort. D．To achieve a quicker task completion. 35．Which of the following questions should AI ask to promote user reflection? A．How much time should you spend on this? B．Is there a simpler version of this problem? C．Would you like me to search for more data? D．What is your reasoning behind this answer? 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everybody wants to hang out with fun people.

Before you even begin trying to become a fun person, you have to believe you can be a fun person. Nothing is wrong with believing in yourself, and it’s looked up to but never looked down on. Most confident people have insecurities. Show interest. Listen and show kindness to others during conversation. If people think they can talk to you about anything, they’ll invite you to hang out more often. 38 . If you ignore people or always talk about yourself, they won’t invite you anymore. 39 . Focus on the positive aspects of your life, what you are looking forward to, or what you want to do. We all know that sadness needs company, but if you are unhappy all the time, others won’t want to hang out with you. Smile.

In his office, the boss explained, “We have thousands of paper records from the 70s to the 90s. If you need anything from the older records, you can email Gary, but it may take him a day or two to locate specific files. For anything urgent, please come directly to me.” In the following weeks, I sent occasional emails to Gary with archive requests, as I noticed my co-workers doing. Yet, I also observed how they would often stop by his desk for a brief, warm word in person after hitting “send”. Though Gary’s replies were always courteous (礼貌的), they were often delayed by days. The work progressed at a pace that seemed at odds with any business urgency. Most tellingly, I observed the boss would stop by his desk every single day — not to check work, but to share a quiet chat or simply place a fresh cup of tea beside him. Why would the boss, a busy businessman, entrust such a position to a man who worked so slowly? Why did he — and indeed, the entire office — treat Gary with such consistent, personal care that went far beyond professional courtesy? One Friday afternoon, my curiosity finally overflowed. I cautiously voiced my confusion to a senior co-worker, Lisa, during a coffee break. “I don’t fully understand,” I began. “The archive task doesn’t seem to have any deadline. And everyone’s patience with Gary is remarkable.” Upon hearing my tentative words, she glanced toward Gary, then back at me, and said gently, “Gary was the boss’s first employee. He retired from our company two years ago. Unfortunately, he lost his wife last year and now lives alone.” My eyes were wide open, and I whispered, “But why...” 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。 Sensing my confusion and curiosity, Lisa decided to tell the whole story. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, I approached Gary with the same thoughtful care as others. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
