When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 7. What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. C Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not. For proof, imagine a world where every detail you ever came across was carved indelibly in your mind. Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering. We don’t need to stick to just our armchair-philosophizing, however. Thanks to the wonderful combinatory magic genetics pulls off at each birth, we’ve had a few individuals on Earth who are unable to forget anything. Solomon Shereshevsky, for instance, could memorize lists of arbitrary (任意) numbers, words, and nonsense syllables with perfect recall, even decades later. At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable. What most miss about forgetting is that it is not a design flaw (缺陷). It’s a feature. In fact, the ability to forget is fundamental to learning. It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in. Research suggests that forgetting is an active process involving brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which help us manage the inflow and outflow of information. Forgetting is not our memory failing on us as much as it is our memory being better used. And here is where we meet the concept of the forgetting curve (曲线). First described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve tracks how quickly we lose information over time without reinforcement (巩固). Within hours of learning something new, we begin to forget it. Rapidly at first, then more slowly over time. The key insight of those who have followed Ebbinghaus is that this curve is not fixed. On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves. 8. What does the underlined word “indelibly” in the first paragraph mean? A. Permanently. B. Violently. C. Chaotically. D. Effortlessly. 9. What did Shereshevsky think of his ability? A. A design flaw. B. A real blessing. C. A mental burden. D. A rare talent. 10. How does forgetting contribute to learning? A. It prevents the flow of information. B. It pushes people to review regularly. C. It activates brain regions responsible for learning. D. It allows the brain to prioritize important information. 11. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Keep learning new things. B. Intervene in the forgetting process. C. Accept forgetting as a natural part of life. D. Explore a fixed pattern of the forgetting curve. D Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). She explores how properly designed algorithms can improve the fairness and effectiveness of matching processes. Saban has focused much of her research on what she calls “matching markets,” and she’s been particularly fascinated by online dating. In one study, she and several coauthors partnered with a major U.S. dating platform to explore how updates to the app’s algorithm could improve outcomes for romantic hopefuls looking to spark new connections. Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. Factoring in users’ history, activity levels, and this two-sided approach to preference led to a substantial increase in matches during field experiments in Texas. “Our algorithm increased the number of matches by 27% in Houston and by over 37% in Austin,” Saban says. Similarly, when working with the volunteer matching platform VolunteerMatch, Saban identified an imbalance in how volunteer opportunities were being distributed. Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. The technical details of algorithms may be complicated, but our commitment to fairness and equity doesn’t have to be. If we want algorithms to work for good, we need to make conscious choices about how we design them. 12. How do people search for opportunities nowadays? A. By learning algorithms. B. By making use of online tools. C. By developing critical thinking. D. By analyzing the matching processes. 13. What do we know about the model Saban developed for the dating app? A. It has attracted more users to the app. B. It makes a user’s preferences a top priority. C. It focuses on two-sided preference matching. D. It presents more potential matches to the users. 14. On what basis did Saban adjust the algorithm of VolunteerMatch? A. The preferences of the volunteers. B. The popularity of the organizations. C. A match between volunteer and organization types. D. A balance between the demand and supply of volunteers. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Digital Matchmaking B. A New Era of Opportunity Searching C. Designing Algorithms for Better Matches D. Volunteering Better with Equal Distribution 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling (幼苗) is which can be really tricky. Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers — these little lifesavers aren’t just practical; they also add a special charm to your greenery. To kick off your garden marker project, you’ll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay. Start by kneading (揉捏) a piece of clay in your hands for a few minutes — think of it as a mini workout for your fingers. ____16____ Then, place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick. ____17____ You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil, or perhaps you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post. Then give your garden markers some personality! Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression. You can stamp the names of your plants, like “basil” or “tomatoes”, to keep things organized. ____18____ Now that your garden markers are looking great, it’s time to set them in stone. Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking. Generally, bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275°F) for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. ____19____ Then, they’ll be ready to give your garden a stylish look! Finally, decide on the finishing touches. ____20____ If you’re feeling fancy, a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine. Whether you’re channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel, which is equally charming, the choice is all yours. A. Remember to keep an eye on it. B Allow them to cool completely afterward. C. Add some fun and creativity to your garden. D. This softens the clay and makes it more workable. E. Now comes the fun part: shaping your garden markers! F. You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look. G. It’s also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like “potato wonderland”. 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。 I have become an empty nester (空巢者) since my boy started university.

Their parents had booked a small cabin at the edge of a forest, a place their father described as “a hidden world full of wonders.” When they arrived, the siblings were immediately drawn to the quiet charm of the wooden cabin. It stood peacefully among tall pines, with sunlight flickering across its roof like dancing gold. Every morning, their father would take them into the woods, teaching them how to look at the forest the way a ranger would. He told them that trees facing the south usually grew thicker leaves because they got more sunlight. He showed them how to read little animal footprints, how to listen for streams, and how to find safe berries when they felt hungry. When the weather turned cloudy or rainy, the whole family would sit by the fireplace in the cabin, taking turns telling stories. The flames crackled cheerfully while shadows danced against the walls, creating a warm world of their own. One afternoon, however, their parents had to go out for a short errand. Before leaving, they reminded the siblings firmly not to go outside. David and Jane promised, but the promise didn’t last long. The gentle sound of the stream outside the cabin windows was simply too tempting. David looked at his sister and whispered, “Why don’t we go for a little adventure? We’ll take the flashlights — if it gets dark, we’ll still be okay.” Jane hesitated only for a moment before her curiosity won. The two slipped out and headed into the woods. The forest welcomed them with dappled sunlight spilling across the ground. Dry leaves crackled crisply under their feet, and a plump, unfamiliar bird hopped from branch to branch, chirping as if greeting them. When they got hungry, the siblings picked the same berries their father had shown them days earlier. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: However, the sky began to dim before they knew it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then David recalled their father’s tip about the south-facing side of the trees. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。 1.

What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________. A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather 5. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C From Donna’s creative ideas. D. From users’ activities on it. 6. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. C. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 7. What does “The Bench” represent by the end of the story? A. A symbol of community bonds. B. A marker of individual free time. C. A reminder of the past summer. D. A memory of a valued online order. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了七十多岁的作者和邻居唐娜因觉得椅子和桶坐着不舒服，网购并组装了一张长椅，这张长椅不仅成了二人午后聊天的好去处，还吸引了其他邻居，被赋予了多个名字，展现了邻里间的联结。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，我们发现椅子和桶坐起来并不舒服，这些远远不够。唐娜决定我们需要一张长椅)”以及第二段末句“What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(此外，这张长椅非常适合两个七十多岁的人在傍晚继续聊天)”可知，换掉座椅是为了获得更舒适的、适合聊天的座位。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”可知，长椅的不同名字源于不同使用者在长椅上的不同行为活动。有人思考、有人做决定、有人打盹称冥想，名字随这些行为而产生。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据末段首句“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里，我几次瞥见这张长椅，它孤零零地待在那里，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知，长椅冬日里沦为摆放杂物的工具，不再发挥其原本的作用。提及花盆和箱子，正是为了体现长椅此时未被用于原本的用途。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.(去年春天，我和邻居唐娜都已年过七旬，我们在明媚的阳光下待了好几个小时，惬意迎接这崭新的季节。到了坐下歇息的时候，唐娜从车库搬出她那把红色的金属椅子，我则坐在一个倒扣的塑料桶上。聊着我俩在漫长冬日里宅家错过的家长里短，这样的时光别提多惬意了)”、第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”以及末段末句“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但如今漫长的冬日已逝，春花即将在暖阳中绽放，我们这些邻居也准备好迎接 “这张长椅” 重新回到我们的生活中)”可推断，长椅最初是作者和唐娜的聊天座椅，随后吸引了其他邻居，被赋予多种充满生活气息的名字，成为邻里间互动的载体。冬日长椅被收进车库闲置，春日来临所有邻居都满心期待它的回归。因此，长椅串联起邻里间的交流与温情，成为邻里之间情感联结的纽带。故选A。 C Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not. For proof, imagine a world where every detail you ever came across was carved indelibly in your mind. Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering. We don’t need to stick to just our armchair-philosophizing, however. Thanks to the wonderful combinatory magic genetics pulls off at each birth, we’ve had a few individuals on Earth who are unable to forget anything. Solomon Shereshevsky, for instance, could memorize lists of arbitrary (任意的) numbers, words, and nonsense syllables with perfect recall, even decades later. At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable. What most miss about forgetting is that it is not a design flaw (缺陷). It’s a feature. In fact, the ability to forget is fundamental to learning. It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in. Research suggests that forgetting is an active process involving brain regions like the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, which help us manage the inflow and outflow of information. Forgetting is not our memory failing on us as much as it is our memory being better used. And here is where we meet the concept of the forgetting curve (曲线). First described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in the late 19th century, the forgetting curve tracks how quickly we lose information over time without reinforcement (巩固). Within hours of learning something new, we begin to forget it. Rapidly at first, then more slowly over time. The key insight of those who have followed Ebbinghaus is that this curve is not fixed. On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves. 8. What does the underlined word “indelibly” in the first paragraph mean? A. Permanently. B. Violently. C. Chaotically. D. Effortlessly. 9. What did Shereshevsky think of his ability? A. A design flaw. B. A real blessing. C. A mental burden. D. A rare talent. 10. How does forgetting contribute to learning? A. It prevents the flow of information. B. It pushes people to review regularly. C. It activates brain regions responsible for learning. D. It allows the brain to prioritize important information. 11. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Keep learning new things. B. Intervene in the forgetting process. C. Accept forgetting as a natural part of life. D. Explore a fixed pattern of the forgetting curve. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过科学事实、案例分析和逻辑推理，论证了“遗忘是大脑的重要功能”这一观点，并鼓励读者正确看待遗忘现象并对其加以利用。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Forgetting things is a blessing, believe it or not.(别不信，遗忘事物其实是一种福气)”提到能够遗忘是一件幸事，划线词所在句子以及下文是提供支撑性证据，论证“遗忘是一件幸事”这一观点；结合下文“Every conversation you regret, every rejection you’ve ever felt, every time you stepped out with your zipper undone stands as clearly in your mind as what you had for breakfast last week as well as the moments that bring you the greatest joy. That is a world of utter chaos and suffering.(每一次让你懊悔的交谈，每一次你所经历的被拒绝的时刻，每一次你未系好拉链就出门的举动，都清晰地印刻在你的脑海中，就如同你上周早餐吃了什么一样，也包括那些给你带来最大快乐的时刻。那是一个充满混乱与痛苦的世界)”可知，此处是作者让读者想象一个所有遇到的细节都无法遗忘的世界、一切都永远被刻在脑海里的世界，那将是充满混乱和痛苦的世界。故划线词indelibly意思是“永久地”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At first glance, this sounds like a superpower. But Shereshevsky described it as exhausting, distracting, and emotionally unbearable.(乍一看，这听起来像是某种超能力。但舍雷舍夫斯基却称其令人精疲力竭、分心不已，而且情绪上难以承受)”可知，谢雷舍夫斯基认为他的能力是一种精神负担。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s what gives us focus, highlights the signal through the noise, and lets the brain determine what matters most given the context we are in.(正是它让我们能够集中注意力，帮助我们从杂乱的信息中提取出关键信息，并让大脑根据我们所处的环境来确定哪些才是最重要的)”可知，遗忘能让大脑优先处理重要的信息。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“On the contrary, it’s something we can reshape, a feature we can tune ourselves.(相反，这并非是无法改变的固定状态，而是我们能够加以调整、能够自行塑造的特性)”可知，作者建议读者参与遗忘过程。故选B项。 D Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). She explores how properly designed algorithms can improve the fairness and effectiveness of matching processes. Saban has focused much of her research on what she calls “matching markets” and she’s been particularly fascinated by online dating. In one study, she and several coauthors partnered with a major U.S. dating platform to explore how updates to the app’s algorithm could improve outcomes for romantic hopefuls looking to spark new connections. Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. Factoring in users’ history, activity levels, and this two-sided approach to preference led to a substantial increase in matches during field experiments in Texas. “Our algorithm increased the number of matches by 27% in Houston and by over 37% in Austin,” Saban says. Similarly, when working with the volunteer matching platform VolunteerMatch, Saban identified an imbalance in how volunteer opportunities were being distributed. Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. The technical details of algorithms may be complicated, but our commitment to fairness and equity doesn’t have to be. If we want algorithms to work for good, we need to make conscious choices about how we design them. 12. How do people search for opportunities nowadays? A. By learning algorithms. B. By making use of online tools. C. By developing critical thinking. D. By analyzing the matching processes. 13. What do we know about the model Saban developed for the dating app? A. It has attracted more users to the app. B. It makes a user’s preferences a top priority. C. It focuses on two-sided preference matching. D. It presents more potential matches to the users. 14. On what basis did Saban adjust the algorithm of VolunteerMatch? A. The preferences of the volunteers. B The popularity of the organizations. C. A match between volunteer and organization types. D. A balance between the demand and supply of volunteers. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Power of Digital Matchmaking B. A New Era of Opportunity Searching C. Designing Algorithms for Better Matches D. Volunteering Better with Equal Distribution 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了斯坦福大学商学院副教授Daniela Saban关于“匹配市场”的研究，通过在线约会平台和志愿者匹配平台的案例，阐述了合理设计的算法如何提升匹配过程的公平性与有效性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. But as people increasingly turn to digital platforms in search of opportunity, Daniela Saban, an associate professor of operations, information, and technology at Stanford Graduate School of Business, says it’s time to take a critical look at the role of algorithms (算法). (无论你是在找工作、找房子，还是寻找人生伴侣，都有对应的应用程序可用。但随着人们越来越多地借助数字平台寻求机会，斯坦福大学商学院运营、信息与技术领域的副教授Daniela Saban表示，现在是时候审慎审视算法所扮演的角色了)”可知，如今人们通过使用在线工具，例如各类应用程序、数字平台来寻找机会。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Analyzing data from the app, Saban developed a model that not only prioritized potential matches based on a user’s preferences but also took into account the likelihood that the person on the other side of the potential match would be interested. “I not only want to show you people that you will like, I also want to show you people that will like you back,” Saban notes. (通过分析该应用程序的数据，Saban 开发了一个模型：它不仅会依据用户的偏好对潜在匹配对象进行优先级排序，还会考虑到潜在匹配对象的另一方是否可能对此感兴趣。Saban 指出：“我不仅想给你推荐你会喜欢的人，还想给你推荐也会喜欢你的人。”)”可知，Saban 为约会应用开发的模型核心在于兼顾双方的偏好，即注重双向偏好匹配。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Some organizations were receiving an overwhelming number of sign-ups, sometimes even more than they needed, while others struggled to attract any volunteers at all. By adjusting the search algorithm to consider the number of volunteers an organization needs and has already received, Saban and her team were able to ensure a more reasonable distribution of volunteers across opportunities. (一些机构收到的报名人数多得难以应对，有时甚至超出了实际需求，而另一些机构却根本难以吸引到任何志愿者。Saban 及其团队通过调整搜索算法，将机构所需志愿者数量与已招募到的志愿者数量纳入考量，从而得以确保志愿者能在各类志愿机会间实现更合理的分配)”可知，Saban 调整VolunteerMatch算法的依据是平衡志愿者的供需关系，即机构的需求与已有的志愿者供给。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Whether you’re looking for a job, a house, or a romantic partner, there’s an app for that. (无论你是在找工作、找房子，还是寻找人生伴侣，都有对应的应用程序可用)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇指出人们依赖数字平台寻找机会，进而引出Saban 关于算法在“匹配市场”中作用的研究；随后通过在线约会平台（提升双向匹配成功率）和志愿者匹配平台（平衡志愿者供需）两个具体案例，说明合理设计的算法能优化匹配效果；最后总结“如果我们希望算法发挥积极作用，就需要在设计时做出有意识的选择”，全文核心围绕C选项“设计算法以实现更好的匹配”展开，适合作为标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling (幼苗) is which can be really tricky.

Their parents had booked a small cabin at the edge of a forest, a place their father described as “a hidden world full of wonders.” When they arrived, the siblings were immediately drawn to the quiet charm of the wooden cabin. It stood peacefully among tall pines, with sunlight flickering across its roof like dancing gold. Every morning, their father would take them into the woods, teaching them how to look at the forest the way a ranger would. He told them that trees facing the south usually grew thicker leaves because they got more sunlight. He showed them how to read little animal footprints, how to listen for streams, and how to find safe berries when they felt hungry. When the weather turned cloudy or rainy, the whole family would sit by the fireplace in the cabin, taking turns telling stories. The flames crackled cheerfully while shadows danced against the walls, creating a warm world of their own. One afternoon, however, their parents had to go out for a short errand. Before leaving, they reminded the siblings firmly not to go outside. David and Jane promised, but the promise didn’t last long. The gentle sound of the stream outside the cabin windows was simply too tempting. David looked at his sister and whispered, “Why don’t we go for a little adventure? We’ll take the flashlights — if it gets dark, we’ll still be okay.” Jane hesitated only for a moment before her curiosity won. The two slipped out and headed into the woods. The forest welcomed them with dappled sunlight spilling across the ground. Dry leaves crackled crisply under their feet, and a plump, unfamiliar bird hopped from branch to branch, chirping as if greeting them. When they got hungry, the siblings picked the same berries their father had shown them days earlier. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: However, the sky began to dim before they knew it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then David recalled their father’s tip about the south-facing side of the trees. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Paragraph 1: However, the sky began to dim before they knew it. Jane tightened her grip on David’s arm, her voice trembling with apprehension. “We should have listened to Mom and Dad. What if we can’t find our way back?” David forced a calm tone, though his own heart raced. “Don’t panic. We have our flashlights, and remember all those survival skills Dad taught us.” But as darkness fell, their flashlights’ feeble beams were swallowed by the oppressive gloom. The gnarled trees loomed like giants, and the stream’s murmur turned into ominous whispers of their predicament. Paragraph 2: Then David recalled their father’s tip about the south-facing side of the trees. “Wait!” David exclaimed suddenly, “Dad said south-facing trees have thicker branches for more sunlight — find south, and we can get back to the cabin!” Following this natural compass, they ventured carefully through the undergrowth. After what felt like an eternity, a faint golden glow pierced through the dense trees — the cabin’s porch light! Rushing forward with exhilaration, they embraced each other in overwhelming relief. Their parents, who had been searching frantically, greeted them with tears of joy and relieved laughter. That evening, David and Jane found their way home and learned preparation and mindfulness turn reckless escapades into meaningful journeys. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了David和Jane在暑假期间与父母前往森林边缘的小木屋度假。父母外出办事时，两人违背承诺外出探险，不料天色渐暗，在森林中迷路。最终，大卫回忆起父亲传授的生存技巧，利用南向树木枝叶茂密的特性辨别方向，成功找到回家的路。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，他们还没反应过来，天空就开始暗了下来。”可知，第一段可描写两人迷路时的恐慌心理及环境描写。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后大卫想起了父亲关于树木南侧的提示。”可知，第二段可描写大卫利用父亲传授的技巧找到方向，最终成功返回小木屋的过程。 2.续写线索：天色变暗——两人恐慌——回忆技巧——辨别方向——找到小屋——家人团聚——获得感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓紧：tighten one’s grip on/ hold tightly ②颤抖：tremble/shake ③剧烈跳动：race/beat violently 情绪类 ①忧虑：apprehension/anxiety ②疯狂地：frantically/madly 【点睛】【高分句型1】But as darkness fell, their flashlights’ feeble beams were swallowed by the oppressive gloom. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】 Their parents, who had been searching frantically, greeted them with tears of joy and relieved laughter.（运用了who引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
