Back then, we lived at my grandparents’ place; finances were tight since my dad had retired and hadn’t secured steady employment yet. But my mom strived to create lasting, cherished memories that would shape my outlook on life, though I didn’t fully grasp the depth of her wisdom until years later. We headed to the nearest bus stop once or twice a week. For a minimal fee, it was possible to purchase a ticket that allowed people to embark on all the buses throughout an entire day. My mom had deciphered this cost-effective system perfectly, and she’d take me to a diverse range of destinations, turning ordinary afternoons into adventures. Among our most frequented places was the mall in Carlsbad, which boasted a large glass clock tower at its center. The tower featured intricate gears and mechanisms that rolled balls along rails, bounced them onto drums and ramps, and then lifted them back up with tiny elevators-a sight that drew crowds of children all day long. We’d go window-shopping, not to buy anything, but to soak in the atmosphere and do some people-watching. On other occasions, we’d take the bus to Strand Beach, where we collected sand dollars and shells as souvenirs. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was deeply grateful to my mom for making that tough period so enjoyable. Eventually, my dad found a steady job, and we moved to a lovely home in the countryside. My mom’s efforts went beyond distracting me from our struggles. She inspired me to stay observant and appreciate a world that was accessible without costing much. More importantly, she taught me that regardless of where I was, and what I was going through, there was something I could smile about somewhere. 4. Why did the author’s family live with their grandparents? A. To save living costs. B. To attend to the elderly. C. To escape city life. D. To support dad’s work. 5. What does the underlined word “deciphered” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. taken account of B. taken charge of C. mapped out D. figured out 6. What did the author do at the Carlsbad mall? A. Bought small gifts after window-shopping. B. Collected souvenirs while watching people. C. Admired the clock tower and enjoyed the scene. D Learned about gear mechanisms with other children. 7. What is the main message the author intends to convey? A. Travel broadens the mind. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. D. Those who settle for less rarely achieve more. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者7岁时，因父亲退休后尚未找到稳定工作，家庭经济拮据，不得不与祖父母同住。在这段艰难时期，作者的母亲通过富有智慧和创意的方式，为他创造了快乐而珍贵的童年记忆。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Back then, we lived at my grandparents’ place; finances were tight since my dad had retired and hadn’t secured steady employment yet. (那时候，我们住在祖父母家；因为爸爸退休了，还没有找到稳定的工作，家里经济很拮据。)”可知，作者一家住到祖父母家是为了节省生活开支。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“For a minimal fee, it was possible to purchase a ticket that allowed people to embark on all the buses throughout an entire day. My mom had deciphered this cost-effective system perfectly, and she’d take me to a diverse range of destinations (花很少的钱，就可以买到一张全天可以乘坐所有公交车的票。妈妈完美地deciphered这个划算的办法，然后带我去各种各样的地方。)”以及语境可知，这里指妈妈是摸清了这个省钱的公交票规则。“deciphered”在此处与“figured out”（弄明白、搞清楚）意思相近。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Among our most frequented places was the mall in Carlsbad, which boasted a large glass clock tower at its center. The tower featured intricate gears and mechanisms that rolled balls along rails, bounced them onto drums and ramps, and then lifted them back up with tiny elevators-a sight that drew crowds of children all day long. We’d go window-shopping, not to buy anything, but to soak in the atmosphere and do some people-watching.(我们最常去的地方之一是卡尔斯巴德的一家商场，商场中央矗立着一座宏伟的玻璃钟楼。钟楼内部精密的齿轮机械装置推动钢珠沿轨道滚动，在鼓面与斜坡弹跳穿梭，最后通过微型升降机将钢珠送回顶端——这般景象终日吸引着成群结队的孩童驻足。我们时常浏览橱窗不为购物，只为沉浸在那份热闹氛围中观察往来行人。)”可知，作者在购物中心会欣赏钟楼，享受那里的氛围。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“She inspired me to stay observant and appreciate a world that was accessible without costing much. More importantly, she taught me that regardless of where I was, and what I was going through, there was something I could smile about somewhere. (她激励我保持敏锐的观察力，去欣赏这个不用花很多钱就能接触到的世界。更重要的是，她教会我，无论身处何地、经历何事，总有一些值得微笑的事情。)”可知，文章传递的核心思想是在困境中也要积极寻找生活的乐趣，与“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.(当生活给你柠檬时，就做杯柠檬水。)”表达的“苦中作乐、积极面对困境”含义一致。故选C项。 C If you thought livestreaming was strange enough — hosts singing, dancing, and chatting for hours to faceless audiences— then welcome to the era of the anime-style (动漫风格的) AI livestreaming, for which there is no need for real human beings. On looking closer at such livestreaming, the first thing you learn is that the hosts are really good at making you feel seen. Complex language processing lets them guess your mood,serve up just the right expression, and keep you engaged. For many fans, especially younger viewers, these interactions create a powerful sense of belonging. Yet there’s something unsettling about just how good these systems are at anticipating what you want. Algorithms (算法) that predict what you want can skillfully guide you toward ever more addictive interactions. It’s the classic social media trap with an anime face. Perhaps the biggest concern is that the main audience for these virtual idols (偶像) is young people. This isn’t just entertainment; it’s a new field for forming worldviews and values, and developing emotional habits. As such livestreaming becomes more convincing, it risks replacing real human interaction with algorithmic simulations. Instead of learning to navigate the complexities of real- world friendship, young viewers might settle for endlessly agreeable virtual live company. Despite these challenges, banning or shaming the entire industry isn’t the answer. Virtual livestreaming is here to stay. Most importantly, we need to always remember that technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them. Virtual livestreamers can handle the routine work. But genuine emotional connection, critical thinking and moral judgment are the jobs of real human beings. Parents, educators and the media need to help young people understand what’s happening behind the friendly characters. Anime-style AI livestreaming is more than a passing fancy. It’s a cultural frontier where technology, art, business and human emotions crash. Yet our aim should not be to stifle its growth, but to ensure it grows responsibly. 8. What makes anime-style AI livestreaming appealing to young viewers? A. Its use of the complex algorithms. B. Its creation of a sense of belonging. C. Its ability to replace human hosts. D. Its focus on content of friendship. 9. How does virtual livestreaming affect young viewers? A. They find digital companions complex. B. Their virtual idols turn into real figures. C. Their real- world relationships may fade. D. They are better at interacting in real life. 10. What does the underlined word “stifle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Hold back. B. Contribute to. C. Adapt to. D. Figure out. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Engineered Belonging Might Cheer You Up B. Are Anime AI Live streamers Emerging Wildly? C. Does The Algorithm Really Know You Well? D. Virtual Companionship May Come At A Cost 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了动漫风格的AI直播，它能让观众有归属感，但算法易使观众上瘾，可能取代真实社交，应引导年轻人，确保其负责任地发展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“For many fans, especially younger viewers, these interactions create a powerful sense of belonging.(对于许多粉丝，尤其是年轻观众来说，这些互动创造了一种强烈的归属感。)”可知，动漫风格的AI直播之所以吸引年轻观众，是因为它创造了一种归属感。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“As such livestreaming becomes more convincing, it risks replacing real human interaction with algorithmic simulations. Instead of learning to navigate the complexities of real-world friendship, young viewers might settle for endlessly agreeable virtual live company.(随着这种直播变得越来越可信，它有可能用算法模拟取代真实的人际互动。年轻观众可能不会学会应对现实世界中友谊的复杂性，而是满足于与永远讨人喜欢的虚拟直播作伴。)”可知，虚拟直播可能会让年轻观众满足于虚拟的陪伴，而忽视了现实世界中的人际关系，导致真实的人际关系可能淡化。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段中的“Yet our aim should not be to stifle its growth, but to ensure it grows responsibly.(然而，我们的目标不应该是……它的增长，而是确保它负责任地增长。)”可知，前后文为转折关系，后文提到要确保其负责任地增长，说明前文应该是不要阻碍其增长，由此可推测出stifle意为“阻碍，抑制”，与A选项“Hold back.(阻碍)”意思相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“Virtual livestreaming is here to stay. Most importantly, we need to always remember that technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them. Virtual livestreamers can handle the routine work. But genuine emotional connection, critical thinking and moral judgment are the jobs of real human beings.(虚拟直播将会继续存在。最重要的是，我们需要永远记住，技术是为人类服务的，而不是取代人类。虚拟直播者可以处理日常工作。但真正的情感联系、批判性思维和道德判断是人类的工作。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了动漫风格的AI直播的吸引力、对年轻观众的影响以及我们应该如何看待这一新兴技术。文章指出，虽然虚拟直播有其吸引力，但也可能带来一些负面影响，如真实人际关系的淡化。D选项“Virtual Companionship May Come At A Cost(虚拟陪伴可能付出代价)”符合标题。故选D项。 D Your creative hobbies could do good to your brain, according to a new study. The study looked at brain activity data from 1,240 participants across 13 countries. Researchers used the data to create brain clocks — machine learning models that compare actual and neurological (神经系统的) age and can find cognitive (认知的) differences in patients. Then, they applied those models to 232 people who make art, dance, play video games and make music, all with different levels of creative experience. Researchers found that those who practiced their skill regularly had signs of slower brain aging. The strongest link was found in tango dancers, whose brains were on average seven years younger than their biological age. Even those who only engaged in short-term training in a creative activity saw benefits, the research found. “One of our key takeaways is that you do not need to be an expert to benefit from creativity. Indeed, we found that learners gained from brief video game training sessions,” says Carlos Coronel, the paper’s first author. Those video game training sessions involved teaching 24 right-handed participants how to play “StarCraft II”, a strategy video game involving creative problem-solving. The training lasted 30 hours over three to four weeks. Another group, used as a control, was trained in “Hearthstone”, a digital collectible card game that has more concrete rules and requires less strategizing. Those who spent time playing “StarCraft II” each week showed slower brain aging and did better on brain tests after their training period than controls. The more skilled the participants were in their chosen art forms, the lower their brain age, the researchers write. The findings could have important public health implications, says Agustin Ibáñez, a scientist at Adolfo Ibáñez University in Chile. Perhaps creativity, like exercise, could be recommended to patients to protect brain health. “This is not relevant only for neuroscience, but it is a cultural and policy opportunity,” Ibáñez notes. “Our societies need to reimagine healthy aging through both medical and non-medical domains, such as creativity, arts and play.” 12. Why did researchers make brain clocks? A. To develop new brain video games. B. To research various art benefits. C. To measure participants’ activities. D. To identify brain aging differences. 13. What does the underlined word “takeaways” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Conclusions. B. Assumptions. C. Predictions. D. Experiments. 14. What does the study imply about “StarCraft II”? A. It requires brain power. B. It boosts brain health. C. It simplifies brain work. D. It reduces brain strategizing. 15. What is the study’s public health value according to Ibáñez? A. Advancing medical reform. B. Training local medical staff. C. Bettering social interactions. D. Providing reference for policies. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项新研究发现创造性爱好有益于大脑健康，规律从事创造性活动的人大脑老化速度更慢，该研究结果对公共健康和相关政策具有重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“Researchers used the data to create brain clocks — machine learning models that compare actual and neurological (神经系统的) age and can find cognitive (认知的) differences in patients.(研究人员利用这些数据创建了大脑时钟——这是一种机器学习模型，用于比较实际年龄和神经年龄，并能发现患者的认知差异)”可知，研究人员制作大脑时钟是为了识别大脑老化的差异。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第3段中“One of our key takeaways is that you do not need to be an expert to benefit from creativity. Indeed, we found that learners gained from brief video game training sessions(我们的一个关键的“takeaway”是，你不需要成为专家也能从创造力中受益。事实上，我们发现学习者从短暂的电子游戏训练课程中也有所收获。)”可知，这里的“takeaways”指的是研究得出的结论。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第4段中“Those who spent time playing ‘StarCraft II’ each week showed slower brain aging and did better on brain tests after their training period than controls.(那些每周花时间玩《星际争霸II》的人在训练期后，比对照组表现出更慢的大脑衰老，并在大脑测试中表现更好。)”可知，这款游戏有助于促进大脑健康。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第5段中““This is not relevant only for neuroscience, but it is a cultural and policy opportunity,’ Ibáñez notes.(Ibáñez指出：“这不仅与神经科学相关，也是一个文化和政策层面的契机”。)”可知，该研究的公共健康价值在于能为相关政策制定提供参考。故选D。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. ___16___ Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. ___17___ But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people. The best strategy? ___18___ For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements. ___19___ While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag. In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect. ___20___ While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure. A. A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find. B. Jet lag can affect people’s eating habits and sleep patterns. C. That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. D. There are some tools to help with this, of course. E. Different people have different rhythms. F. The most important step is to control when you get sunlight. G. However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了长途旅行后人们会因跨越时区产生时差反应，导致生物钟紊乱、睡眠和饮食受影响的问题以及解决措施。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag.(长途旅行后我们都有过这样的经历——茫然地盯着邮件，数着时间盼着睡觉。可到了凌晨两点，你依然毫无睡意，漫无目的地刷着社交媒体，陷入时差的困扰中)”可知，空格处需要对这种时差困扰进行总结。C选项“That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast.(这就是快速跨越时区的代价)”承接上文，对前文描述的时差痛苦进行概括，符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance.(但当我们到达新时区，昼夜突然颠倒，这种节律就会失衡)” 以及下文 “But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up.(但科学家已经找到了帮助我们身体适应的方法)”可知，前文用科学解释时差问题，下文出现转折，说找到了帮助适应时差的方法，推知空处是说时差问题很难解决。选项 A“A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find.(要找到完全治愈时差的方法不太可能) ”承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements.(例如，由神经科学家及其团队开发的应用程序 Timeshifter，会根据航班安排，为用户提供个性化的光照和睡眠时间表)”可知，空格处需要引出可以帮助调节时差的工具。D选项“There are some tools to help with this, of course.(当然有一些工具可以对此提供帮助)”引出下文的举例说明，符合语境。故选D项。 【19题详解】 根据上文围绕光照和睡眠展开，以及下文“While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢) , the body’s process of turning food into energy.(大脑是我们的主生物钟，而肝脏、肌肉等其他组织也有自己的生物钟，它们调节着新陈代谢——即身体将食物转化为能量的过程)”可知，空格处需要进行转折，引出时差还受其他因素影响。G选项“However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep.(然而，时差不仅仅与光照和睡眠有关)”承上启下，使话题自然过渡，符合语境。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect.(实际上，有很多因素会起作用)”可知，空格处补充说明个体差异。E选项“Different people have different rhythms.(不同的人有不同的节律)”承接上文，符合语境。故选E项。 第三部分 语言知识运用 (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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a child, I was absorbed in books until my eyes blurred.

To make it, one day, she began to seriously prepare. At first, she only set the small goal of running one kilometer each morning. However, she still found it tiring and soon gave up running. As days went on, her weight gradually increased. Upset about her health, she finally decided to lose weight by doing exercise. She began running again. As usual, in the following days, her big problem with exercising was always how to stay motivated. She tried to find guidance from running experts and books. And everything she read indicated that she’d better pair up with a running partner. She followed the advice, but human exercise companions always let her down. Her last exercise companion quit with excuses like, “It’s my turn to do the dishes” at six o’clock in the morning! She hated to admit it, but she had made similar excuses to others and disappointed them in similar ways. Then Brucie appeared in Jenny’s life, a birthday gift from her husband, John. John couldn’t work out with Jenny because he had a bad back. So that job was left to Brucie, a yellow dog. Brucie was quite energetic, which made him destined(注定的) to be a running partner. In the beginning, Brucie and Jenny ran only fifty paces at a time, each set mixed with one hundred paces of walking. “I don’t look foolish starting this way,” thought Jenny, “because Brucie’s bones are too young to make him run much harder.” She was right, and Brucie’s early limitations gave her time to start slowly without feeling awkward. After about nine months, though, Brucie was old enough to run several miles a day and Jenny was fit enough to keep up. From spring to autumn, they logged the miles together every day. However, as winter approached and the weather got colder, maintaining a daily running routine required lots of dedication and determination. And Jenny started to think the dog would be like her previous human partners and that she couldn’t count on the little dog for help with motivation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 What happened later proved that Jenny was wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One spring morning, Jenny started her first marathon, accompanied by Brucie. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: What happened later proved that Jenny was wrong. Brucie turned out to be the most reliable running partner she could have ever hoped for. No matter how cold and dark it was, he would always eagerly wait by her side, ready to start their daily run together. His unwavering dedication and enthusiasm served as a constant reminder of the commitment she had made to herself, helping her maintain her motivation even in the toughest conditions. One spring morning, Jenny started her first marathon, accompanied by Brucie. The race was challenging, but with each step she took, she felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and gratitude. She knew that without Brucie’s unwavering support and companionship, she would never have been able to achieve this incredible milestone. As they crossed the finish line together, Jenny couldn’t help but feel a deep connection with her loyal running partner, who had not only helped her achieve her dream but also taught her the true meaning of perseverance and determination. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件发展为线索展开，渴望跑马拉松的珍妮在锻炼时一直苦于保持动力，直到她从丈夫那里收到了一只充满活力的黄色小狗布鲁斯做为生日礼物。起初，由于布鲁斯还很小，他们的训练进度较为缓慢。但九个月后，他们已经能每天共同跑下数英里。尽管珍妮曾怀疑布鲁斯能否在严冬中保持动力，但他最终证明自己是一位专注且可靠的跑步伙伴，不仅加深了他们之间的纽带，还帮助珍妮实现了健身目标。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后来发生的事证明珍妮是错的”可知，第一段可描写布鲁斯非常可靠，成为珍妮理想的跑步伙伴，以及他的存在让珍妮保持动力。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个春日早晨，珍妮在布鲁斯的陪伴下开始了她的首场马拉松比赛”可知，第二段可描写珍妮在比赛中的感受，以及比赛结束后得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：珍妮是错的——布鲁斯陪伴——珍妮保持动力——参加比赛——感受——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发生：happen/come about ②结果是：turn out/prove to be ③帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①成就感：sense of accomplishment/triumphant feeling of success ②感受到与……的联系：feel connection with/experience a profound bond with 【点睛】[高分句型1] His unwavering dedication and enthusiasm served as a constant reminder of the commitment she had made to herself, helping her maintain her motivation even in the toughest conditions.

Back then, we lived at my grandparents’ place; finances were tight since my dad had retired and hadn’t secured steady employment yet. But my mom strived to create lasting, cherished memories that would shape my outlook on life, though I didn’t fully grasp the depth of her wisdom until years later. We headed to the nearest bus stop once or twice a week. For a minimal fee, it was possible to purchase a ticket that allowed people to embark on all the buses throughout an entire day. My mom had deciphered this cost-effective system perfectly, and she’d take me to a diverse range of destinations, turning ordinary afternoons into adventures. Among our most frequented places was the mall in Carlsbad, which boasted a large glass clock tower at its center. The tower featured intricate gears and mechanisms that rolled balls along rails, bounced them onto drums and ramps, and then lifted them back up with tiny elevators-a sight that drew crowds of children all day long. We’d go window-shopping, not to buy anything, but to soak in the atmosphere and do some people-watching. On other occasions, we’d take the bus to Strand Beach, where we collected sand dollars and shells as souvenirs. Every trip we took felt like a grand expedition, and I was deeply grateful to my mom for making that tough period so enjoyable. Eventually, my dad found a steady job, and we moved to a lovely home in the countryside. My mom’s efforts went beyond distracting me from our struggles. She inspired me to stay observant and appreciate a world that was accessible without costing much. More importantly, she taught me that regardless of where I was, and what I was going through, there was something I could smile about somewhere. 4. Why did the author’s family live with their grandparents? A. To save living costs. B. To attend to the elderly. C. To escape city life. D. To support dad’s work. 5. What does the underlined word “deciphered” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. taken account of B. taken charge of C. mapped out D. figured out 6. What did the author do at the Carlsbad mall? A. Bought small gifts after window-shopping. B. Collected souvenirs while watching people. C. Admired the clock tower and enjoyed the scene. D. Learned about gear mechanisms with other children. 7. What is the main message the author intends to convey? A. Travel broadens the mind. B. A penny saved is a penny earned. C. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. D. Those who settle for less rarely achieve more. C If you thought livestreaming was strange enough — hosts singing, dancing, and chatting for hours to faceless audiences— then welcome to the era of the anime-style (动漫风格的) AI livestreaming, for which there is no need for real human beings. On looking closer at such livestreaming, the first thing you learn is that the hosts are really good at making you feel seen. Complex language processing lets them guess your mood,serve up just the right expression, and keep you engaged. For many fans, especially younger viewers, these interactions create a powerful sense of belonging. Yet there’s something unsettling about just how good these systems are at anticipating what you want. Algorithms (算法) that predict what you want can skillfully guide you toward ever more addictive interactions. It’s the classic social media trap with an anime face. Perhaps the biggest concern is that the main audience for these virtual idols (偶像) is young people. This isn’t just entertainment; it’s a new field for forming worldviews and values, and developing emotional habits. As such livestreaming becomes more convincing, it risks replacing real human interaction with algorithmic simulations. Instead of learning to navigate the complexities of real- world friendship, young viewers might settle for endlessly agreeable virtual live company. Despite these challenges, banning or shaming the entire industry isn’t the answer. Virtual livestreaming is here to stay. Most importantly, we need to always remember that technology is meant to serve the people, not replace them. Virtual livestreamers can handle the routine work. But genuine emotional connection, critical thinking and moral judgment are the jobs of real human beings. Parents, educators and the media need to help young people understand what’s happening behind the friendly characters. Anime-style AI livestreaming is more than a passing fancy. It’s a cultural frontier where technology, art, business and human emotions crash. Yet our aim should not be to stifle its growth, but to ensure it grows responsibly. 8. What makes anime-style AI livestreaming appealing to young viewers? A. Its use of the complex algorithms. B. Its creation of a sense of belonging. C. Its ability to replace human hosts. D. Its focus on content of friendship. 9. How does virtual livestreaming affect young viewers? A. They find digital companions complex. B. Their virtual idols turn into real figures. C. Their real- world relationships may fade. D. They are better at interacting in real life. 10. What does the underlined word “stifle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Hold back. B. Contribute to. C. Adapt to. D. Figure out. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Engineered Belonging Might Cheer You Up B. Are Anime AI Live streamers Emerging Wildly? C. Does The Algorithm Really Know You Well? D. Virtual Companionship May Come At A Cost D Your creative hobbies could do good to your brain, according to a new study. The study looked at brain activity data from 1,240 participants across 13 countries. Researchers used the data to create brain clocks — machine learning models that compare actual and neurological (神经系统的) age and can find cognitive (认知的) differences in patients. Then, they applied those models to 232 people who make art, dance, play video games and make music, all with different levels of creative experience. Researchers found that those who practiced their skill regularly had signs of slower brain aging. The strongest link was found in tango dancers, whose brains were on average seven years younger than their biological age. Even those who only engaged in short-term training in a creative activity saw benefits, the research found. “One of our key takeaways is that you do not need to be an expert to benefit from creativity. Indeed, we found that learners gained from brief video game training sessions,” says Carlos Coronel, the paper’s first author. Those video game training sessions involved teaching 24 right-handed participants how to play “StarCraft II”, a strategy video game involving creative problem-solving. The training lasted 30 hours over three to four weeks. Another group, used as a control, was trained in “Hearthstone”, a digital collectible card game that has more concrete rules and requires less strategizing. Those who spent time playing “StarCraft II” each week showed slower brain aging and did better on brain tests after their training period than controls. The more skilled the participants were in their chosen art forms, the lower their brain age, the researchers write. The findings could have important public health implications, says Agustin Ibáñez, a scientist at Adolfo Ibáñez University in Chile. Perhaps creativity, like exercise, could be recommended to patients to protect brain health. “This is not relevant only for neuroscience, but it is a cultural and policy opportunity,” Ibáñez notes. “Our societies need to reimagine healthy aging through both medical and non-medical domains, such as creativity, arts and play.” 12. Why did researchers make brain clocks? A. To develop new brain video games. B. To research various art benefits. C. To measure participants’ activities. D. To identify brain aging differences. 13. What does the underlined word “takeaways” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Conclusions. B. Assumptions. C. Predictions. D. Experiments. 14. What does the study imply about “StarCraft II”? A. It requires brain power. B. It boosts brain health. C. It simplifies brain work. D. It reduces brain strategizing. 15. What is the study’s public health value according to Ibáñez? A. Advancing medical reform. B. Training local medical staff. C. Bettering social interactions. D. Providing reference for policies. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all been there after a long trip — staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 a. m. hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly looking through social media, trapped in the control of jet lag. ___16___ Our internal clock governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones (激素分泌) and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is thrown off balance. ___17___ But scientists have found ways to help our bodies keep up. Even reducing jet lag by a day can improve the productivity and well-being of so many people. The best strategy? ___18___ For example, Timeshifter, an app developed by a neuroscientist and his team, suggests a personalized schedule for light exposure and sleep based on flight arrangements. ___19___ While the brain is our master clock, other tissues like the liver and muscles have their own clocks that regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), the body’s process of turning food into energy. That is, meal timing and composition could also be key to reducing jet lag. In reality, there are lots of things that come into effect. ___20___ While we don’t yet have a way to comprehensively avoid jet lag, researchers and airlines aren’t asleep on the job in their hunt for a cure. A A complete cure for jet lag is unlikely to find. B. Jet lag can affect people’s eating habits and sleep patterns. C. That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. D. There are some tools to help with this, of course. E. Different people have different rhythms. F. The most important step is to control when you get sunlight. G. However, jet lag isn’t just about light exposure and sleep. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a child, I was absorbed in books until my eyes blurred.

To make it, one day, she began to seriously prepare. At first, she only set the small goal of running one kilometer each morning. However, she still found it tiring and soon gave up running. As days went on, her weight gradually increased. Upset about her health, she finally decided to lose weight by doing exercise. She began running again. As usual, in the following days, her big problem with exercising was always how to stay motivated. She tried to find guidance from running experts and books. And everything she read indicated that she’d better pair up with a running partner. She followed the advice, but human exercise companions always let her down. Her last exercise companion quit with excuses like, “It’s my turn to do the dishes” at six o’clock in the morning! She hated to admit it, but she had made similar excuses to others and disappointed them in similar ways. Then Brucie appeared in Jenny’s life, a birthday gift from her husband, John. John couldn’t work out with Jenny because he had a bad back. So that job was left to Brucie, a yellow dog. Brucie was quite energetic, which made him destined(注定的) to be a running partner. In the beginning, Brucie and Jenny ran only fifty paces at a time, each set mixed with one hundred paces of walking. “I don’t look foolish starting this way,” thought Jenny, “because Brucie’s bones are too young to make him run much harder.” She was right, and Brucie’s early limitations gave her time to start slowly without feeling awkward. After about nine months, though, Brucie was old enough to run several miles a day and Jenny was fit enough to keep up. From spring to autumn, they logged the miles together every day. However, as winter approached and the weather got colder, maintaining a daily running routine required lots of dedication and determination. And Jenny started to think the dog would be like her previous human partners and that she couldn’t count on the little dog for help with motivation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 What happened later proved that Jenny was wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One spring morning Jenny started her first marathon, accompanied by Brucie. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
