A group of kids, ages 8 to14, watch her make the dish. This cooking class is part of a "Summer Camp”in Southern California. At this camp, grandmas are in charge. Each week, they teach young campers how to cook a new dish and do crafts. "Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,”said Zainab, who works at Olive Community Services that brings older adults together and created the camp. During the last week of the camp, 9-year-old Janna learned how to use a sewing machine and make pockets. The camper pressed hard on the machine's pedal, making the needle move quickly. "Slowly, slowly,”Rahim, a grandma teaching the sewing class, said to her. The girl smiled when she made it. Rahim said the camp is “filling a gap”for kids.Many schools don't teach these skills like cooking and sewing. Rahim also doesn't get to spend much time with her grandchildren because they don't live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” she said. The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club, a club started by14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact. She noticed that many students didn’t have the chance to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about challenges faced by senior adults, such as unfair treatment. The club organizes monthly lunches at Leena's school. They invite the seniors to the school and discuss topics where both groups can learn from each other. One of the most valuable lessons they've shared with her is to live in the moment, and this has taken on new meaning for Leena. " The people we have right now, they're not going to be with us forever," she said. 24. What can we know about the Summer Camp? A. It is mainly about cooking. B.It offers jobs to teenagers. C.It is held on a monthly basis. D.It is in the charge of the seniors. 25. What do the underlined words“filling a gap” refer to in paragraph3? A. Providing engaging games.

C.Challenging. D.Pioneering 27. What is the main purpose of the club? A. To pass down traditional recipes. B.To ensure an inclusive atmosphere. C.To improve elderly people's welfare. D.To promote interaction between generations. C Imagine attending a job interview and being rejected without a single question — simply because your face “didn’t fit.” You’d likely accuse the company of discrimination, but what if facial features could genuinely predict job performance? This thought-provoking question lies at the core of a recent study by Marius Guenzel from the University of Pennsylvania and his research team. Personality assessments are a standard part of modern recruitment (招聘), yet they often rely on self-reported surveys or interviews where candidates may tailor answers to impress employers. Guenzel’s team took an innovative approach: using an AI algorithm. During their experiment, the researchers analyzed the profile photos of 96,000 graduates, extracting what they termed the “Photo Big Five”: agreeableness, conscientiousness (尽责性), extraversion (外向性), neuroticism (神经质), openness. By cross-referencing these AI-detected traits with real-world labor-market data, they found that facial analysis could predict those graduates’ income and career mobility. However, they emphasized that its predictive power is limited, serving only as an complementary source of information rather than a decisive factor. Despite this finding, the study has sparked intense debates and raised significant concerns. For one, combined patterns obtained from large datasets cannot guarantee accurate predictions of individual performance. For another, legal and ethical risks stood out: anti-discrimination laws in many regions make hiring decisions based on facial characteristics a potential legal violation. More unnoticedly, if facial traits are considered fixed, the value of personal growth and self-improvement is weakened — why strive to change if your face already signals certain traits to employers? Experts like Manish Raghavan from MIT Sloan School of Management note that most companies remain wary of adopting such AI tools. He argues that people are more willing to accept decisions based on unchanging traits only when there is clear logic. This logic, however, is far from proven in the case of facial analysis in recruitment, thus making public acceptance difficult. As such, human interaction in interviews—where candidates can showcase their abilities and personality directly — remains irreplaceable. 28．What can facial analysis forecast about surveyed graduates according to Guenzel’s study? A．Their academic achievements. B．Their ability to impress interviewers. C．Their “Photo Big Five” personality traits. D．Their future earnings and job development. 29．What problem may AI facial analysis cause in the hiring process? A．Discouraging career-related self-improvement. B．Violating labor protection laws in most regions. C．Causing over-reliance on AI for candidate assessment. D．Failing to predict any individual performance accurately. 30．What does the underlined word “wary” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Eager. B．Favorable. C．Cautious. D．Indifferent. 31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Photo Big Five: A Personality Assessment Tool. B．AI-powered Facial Test: Predictors of Career Success. C．Facial Traits in Hiring: Too Soon to Trust. D．AI Facial Analysis: the Future of Recruitment. D Some people have said aging is more a slide into forgetfulness than a journey towards wisdom. However, a growing body of research suggests that late-in-life learning in reality education possibly does an aging brain good. Throughout life, people’s brains constantly restore themselves. In the late 1960s, British brain scientist Geoffrey Raisman studied growth in damaged brain regions of rats through an electron microscope; their brains were making new connections. This meant brains may change every time a person learns something new. Of course, that doesn’t mean the brain isn’t affected by the effects of time. Just as height usually declines over the years, so does brain volume: Humans lose about 4 percent every decade starting in their 40s. But that reduction doesn’t necessarily make people think slower; as long as we are alive and functioning, we can change our brains with new information and experiences. In fact, scientists now suspect accumulating novel experiences, facts, and skills can keep people’s minds more flexible. New pathways can strengthen our ever-changing mental structure, even as the brain shrinks. Conventional ways like word puzzles and brain-training apps can contribute to mental durability. Even something as simple as taking a different route to the grocery store or going somewhere new on vacation can keep the brain healthy. A desire for new life challenges can further boost brainpower. Research about aging adults who take on new enterprises shows improved function and memory as well as a reduced risk of mental disease. Openness — a, characteristic defined by curiosity and a desire for knowledge-may also help folks pass brain tests. Some folks are born with this take-in-the-world attitude, but those who aren’t as genetically gifted aren’t necessarily out of luck. While genes can encourage an interest in doing new things, a 2012 study in the journal Psychology and Aging found completing reasoning tasks like puzzles and number games can enhance that desire for novel experiences, which can, in turn, refresh the brain. That’s why brain scientist Richard Kennedy says “It’s not that old dogs can’t learn new tricks. It’s that maybe old dogs don’t realize why they should.” 32．What do some people think of aging adults? A．Their wisdom grows as time goes by. B．Their memory is gradually getting worse. C．They can benefit from late-in-life learning. D．They are likely to have mental health issues. 33．What can we conclude from Geoffrey Raisman’s finding? A．Brain damage seriously prevents one’s learning. B．Brain power weakens slower than we imagine. C．Brains may refresh and improve with learning. D．Brains make connections under good physical conditions. 34．What is one thing that helps maintain the health of our brain even as it shrinks? A．Doing daily routines by conventional means. B．Avoiding worrying about our mental strength. C．Imitating old dogs’ way of learning new tricks. D．Approaching everyday tasks in novel ways. 35．What is the finding of the 2012 study in the journal Psychology and Aging? A．Wishing to solve puzzles enhances one’s reasoning power. B．Playing number games unexpectedly stimulates one’s memory. C．Desiring new experiences can help to refresh the brain. D．Learning new tricks should not be confined to old dogs only. 第二节（共 5 小题，每题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下列短文，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。 A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house. The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party. The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 36 And it is good time to fill the new space with love and hopeful presents. 37 Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores. Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains. Even if there isn’t a registry, a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with, like a piece of art or a plant. 38 This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served. There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party. The host or hostess of the party will, however, probably give all the guests a tour of their new home. Sometimes, because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home, people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 39 Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 40 Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm. A．This isn’t usual though. B．It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party. C．You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests. D．If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts, keep them in a safe place. E．It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like. F．The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together. G．This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter. 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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My wife and I parked by a rough path the same time as a young man covered in tattoos.

For years, I had taught Lucas to be cautious about strangers. Now, the thought of him facing a world full of unfamiliar people on his own filled me with quiet anxiety. My husband, Lucas and I flew to Hartford and stayed at a small hotel facing the campus. The room had a bed and a sleeper sofa; my husband asked the front desk for extra sheets. A few minutes later a woman in her mid-fifties arrived,who introduced herself as Tootie. When she learned why we came, she warmly offered to help. As she made the sofa bed, she wrote down her phone number and handed it to Lucas. He accepted it with hesitation. She said we could call if Lucas ever needed anything, and her tone made it sound like an offer we should accept. Tootie's warmth made my long-held rule feel strangely rigid. Her attention was practical: she asked which dorm Lucas would be in and where we had parked. Later that evening:as We repacked ou Suitcases, Lucas's face went pale. He remembered placing his backpack,which contained his student ID and all his housing documents, by the roadside while unloading the suitcase. Panic set in immediately. Without that ID and the housing documents, he would not be able to check into his dorm at the 10 am appointment. It was now past 9 pm, dark and unfamiliar outside. Tootie,who returned to do the cleaning, got a large flashlight and said we should go out for a search and that she would accompany us. The three of us stood in the room. We faced a choice: go out into the unfamiliar darkness with this kind stranger, or risk losing everything by waiting until morning. Lucas looked at me, his eyes full of anxiety. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 I met Tootie’s determined eyes and made a quick decision. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After handing over the documents the next morning, Lucas returned to the hotel with us. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第 11 页 共 11 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
