My stomach was in knots as I guided Apollo, but I loosened my grip on the leash (狗绳), not wanting him to sense my tension. We had spent months preparing for this moment. What if all that work meant nothing? This calling was personal — it connected me to my grandfather, a World War II veteran (老兵) who had lost a leg. Watching him struggle with an artificial one gave me a profound respect for the military. I had even planned to enlist (入伍), until life pulled me toward training animals for Hollywood. In 2011, a retired Army officer called, asking if I could train a service dog for his friend Tyler, who had lost both legs in battle. That’s how Apollo entered my life. Donated by a breeder who found him “difficult,” he was the most out-of-control dog I had ever seen — chewing car doors and breaking leashes. Yet I refused to give up, knowing this wasn’t a movie set: if Tyler fell, Apollo had to be perfect. Finally, the day arrived. Tyler, tough but tired, rolled toward us. I introduced Apollo and explained what he could do — brace for balance and pull a wheelchair uphill. Tyler rested his head against Apollo’s neck, tears in his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered. Relief washed over me. I thought I would hand over the leash and walk away, but instead, more veterans began asking if I could train dogs for them. That moment grew into the Argus Service Dog Foundation, dedicated to providing highly trained service dogs — free of charge — to disabled veterans. I realized then why this work mattered: dogs, unlike people, never say, “You’re not the same anymore. ” I walked away from Hollywood, slept on couches, and lived on free appetizers while building the foundation. Then came a new calling: a TV series, Lucky Dog, where I trained shelter dogs to serve families in need. It was the perfect blend of show business and service. On my wall hangs the old “lucky leash,” once torn by Apollo. To me, it’s a reminder that even the most broken beginnings can lead to lifelong purpose. 4. Why did the author start training service dogs? A. To meet Tyler’s request. B. To gain Hollywood fame. C. To imitate his grandfather. D. To assist disabled veterans. 5. Which of the following best reflects the author’s character? A. Mission-driven. B. Thrill-seeking. C. Detail-focused. D. People-pleasing. 6. What does Lucky Dog mean to the author? A. An escape from financial struggles. B. A shortcut to fame and recognition. C. A bridge between career and purpose. D. An opportunity to sell training services. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Fortune favors the brave. B. A barking dog never bites. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Birds of a feather flock together. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因对军人的敬意，放弃好莱坞工作，为残疾退伍军人训练服务犬并创立相关基金会的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This calling was personal — it connected me to my grandfather, a World War II veteran who had lost a leg. Watching him struggle with an artificial one gave me a profound respect for the military.(这份使命感是私人的——它将我与我的祖父联系在一起，他是一位二战老兵，失去了一条腿。看着他与假肢艰难抗争，让我对军队产生了深深的敬意。)”和第五段中的“That moment grew into the Argus Service Dog Foundation, dedicated to providing highly trained service dogs — free of charge — to disabled veterans.(那一刻发展成为阿格斯服务犬基金会，致力于为残疾退伍军人免费提供训练有素的服务犬。)”可知，作者开始训练服务犬是为了帮助残疾退伍军人。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“I walked away from Hollywood, slept on couches, and lived on free appetizers while building the foundation.(为了建立这个基金会，我离开了好莱坞，睡在沙发上，靠免费开胃菜度日。)”可知，作者为了自己的使命放弃了优渥生活，是受使命感驱动的人。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Then came a new calling: a TV series, Lucky Dog, where I trained shelter dogs to serve families in need. It was the perfect blend of show business and service.(后来有了一个新的使命：电视剧《幸运犬》，在节目中我训练收容所的狗为有需要的家庭服务。这是演艺事业和服务使命的完美结合。)”可知，《幸运犬》是连接作者事业与人生目标的桥梁。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“To me, it’s a reminder that even the most broken beginnings can lead to lifelong purpose.(对我来说，它提醒着我，即使是最糟糕的开端也能通向终身的使命。)”以及作者原本在好莱坞训练动物，后因帮助退伍军人训练服务犬，经历诸多困难却最终找到人生使命的经历可知，作者的经历体现了“黑暗中总有一线光明”。故选C项。 C A native foundation, Destiny Trust, has launched a technological programme-Kids Innovation Africa (KIA), an inspiring initiative that highlights the importance of early education in technology and creativity, designed to empower children with essential skills in coding, design, robotics, and the arts. The initiative aims to provide children, particularly those from underserved communities, with the tools to shape the future and create innovative solutions to some of the world’s pressing problems. The Destiny Trust works with children living in difficult circumstances, those from the streets, under bridges, or in extreme poverty. Going beyond simply enrolling them in schools, the Destiny Trust recognizes the need to equip these children with tangible, long-term skills, particularly in the field of technology. According to organizers, KIA offers free and low-cost access to technology and art` education, and the goal is to identify, develop, and showcase the talents of young children, ensuring that even those from disadvantaged backgrounds are not left behind in the digital age. For many participants, the programme was not just an opportunity to learn but a chance to bring to life the ideas they had been working on and dreaming about. The founder of the Destiny Trust, Mr. Abimbola Ojenike, laid great stress on technology in shaping the future of underprivileged children. She said: “We understand that the very best way we can favour them is by giving them skills that are in demand.” According to Ojenike, the Destiny Trust doesn’t just bring out a gift from a child, but others benefit from it, and that makes them unique. “We’re ensuring that every child, regardless of where they come from, is prepared for our digital future and given the skills they will need to thrive in today’s world,” Ojenike added. 8. What does “underserved communities” refer to in the first paragraph? A. Regions with high crime rates. B. Areas with limited access to resources. C. Communities with favorable conditions. D. Neighborhoods with well-educated residents. 9. In addition to enrolling children what other efforts does the Destiny Trust make? A. By organizing field trips. B. By providing them with core skills. C. By offering meals and shelter to them. D. By arranging extracurricular activities. 10. What is the ultimate goal of the Kids Innovation Africa programme? A. To showcase artistic talents. B. To create innovative future leaders. C. To prepare children for the digital future. D. To reduce poverty in underdeveloped communities. 11. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Destiny Trust empowers children with skills in tech, art. B. Destiny Trust brings out a gift from children of poor areas. C. Children living in tough conditions can have a bright future. D. Technology is the hope for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11.

(“命运信托”致力于帮助生活在困境中的儿童，包括那些流落街头、桥下或生活在极端贫困中的儿童。)”可知，该倡议是为了帮助那些处于不利条件的儿童，因此“underserved communities”应该是指那些条件不好的地区或社区。选项B“Areas with limited access to resources. (资源获取有限的地区。)”意思相似。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Destiny Trust works with children living in difficult circumstances, those from the streets, under bridges, or in extreme poverty. Going beyond simply enrolling them in schools, the Destiny Trust recognizes the need to equip these children with tangible, long-term skills, particularly in the field of technology.

Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.” What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean. Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 12. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph? A. To explain the use of a software program. B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition. 13. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences. 14. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond? A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning. C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍的是在辩论中战胜人类的名为Project Debater的软件程序。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion.(上周，在旧金山的一场公开辩论中，一个名为Project Debater的软件程序击败了它的人类对手，其中包括以色列前全国辩论冠军Noa Ovadia。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Noa Ovadia的目的是展示Project Debater的聪明。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make.(尽管Project Debater很聪明，但它也有一些弱点。它从文档库和预先构建的参数中提取句子，并将它们串在一起。这可能会导致人类不会犯的错误。)”和“will no doubt be ironed out(毫无疑问会被解决)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“这样的错误会被纠正，被解决”，划线词wrinkles的意思是“错误”，和errors意思相近，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant.(Hammond所指的是意义的问题，而意义是区分最不聪明的人类和最聪明的机器的关键。计算机使用符号。它的程序指定了一组将一串符号转换为另一串符号的规则。但它并没有具体说明这些符号的含义。事实上，对于计算机来说，意义是无关紧要的。)”可知，根据Hammond的说法，Project Debater不能理解意义，故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations.(意义的产生是通过社会互动的过程，而不是计算的过程，这种互动塑造了我们头脑中符号的内容。赋予意义的规则不仅存在于我们的头脑中，也存在于社会之外，存在于社会记忆、社会习俗和社会关系中。)”可知，从最后一段我们能了解到社会互动是理解符号的关键。故选A。 【点睛】 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5） 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。选项中两项为多余选项。 The Impact of Intelligent media on Intercultural Communication With the development of science and technology, the media presents the characteristics of intelligence. ___16___ Due to these characteristics, it has transformed communication, enabling individuals and businesses to interact globally. However, its rapid growth brings both positive and negative consequences for intercultural communication. ___17___ Social media platform users constantly post pictures or videos covering a wide range of topics, with others liking, commenting, or sharing them. Through these interactions, individuals are exposed to diverse perspectives and lifestyles, building cross-cultural relationships and enhancing their intercultural competence. ___18___ Some companies using real-time translation platforms can negotiate contracts and establish partnerships with international customers without language barriers. However, intelligent media can also negatively affect intercultural communication. For example, social media platforms often focus on popular content, such as jokes or trends, which may simplify or misrepresent certain cultures. This doesn’t encourage genuine cultural appreciation. ___19___ Additionally, the influence of globalized media content may overshadow local traditions, causing smaller cultures to lose their unique identity. As a result, intelligent media, while connecting people, can sometimes create barriers to deeper intercultural understanding. In conclusion, while intelligent media promotes global cross-cultural exchange, it creates tensions within the values exchanged across cultures. As the digital world continues to expand, it is crucial to strike a balance between embracing innovation and preserving our cultural roots. ___20___ A. Numerous platforms create and share short videos. B. Besides, international business relationship is strengthened. C. Most probably, users’ personal information might be leaked. D. Intelligent media is cross-regional, virtual, timely, and cheap. E. Instead, it leads to misunderstandings and deepens biases (偏见). F. By doing this, we can fully unlock the benefits of intelligent media. G. Intelligent media encourages people to showcase themselves and connect online. 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了智能媒体对跨文化交流的影响。 【16题详解】 根据前文“With the development of science and technology, the media presents the characteristics of intelligence.(随着科技的发展，媒体呈现出智能化的特点)”可知，接下来应阐述智能媒体的特点。D选项 “智能媒体具有跨地域、虚拟、及时、廉价的特点”指出智能媒体具有跨区域、虚拟、及时和成本低的特点，符合语境，故选D。 【17题详解】 此空位于段首，是段落主题句。根据后文“Social media platform users constantly post pictures or videos covering a wide range of topics, with others liking, commenting, or sharing them. Through these interactions, individuals are exposed to diverse perspectives and lifestyles, building cross-cultural relationships and enhancing their intercultural competence.(社交媒体平台用户不断发布涵盖广泛主题的图片或视频，其他人喜欢，评论或分享。通过这些互动，个人接触到不同的观点和生活方式，建立跨文化关系，提高跨文化能力)”可知，后文提到社交媒体平台用户不断发布图片或视频，其他人进行互动，这表明智能媒体鼓励人们展示自己并在网上建立联系。G选项 “智能媒体鼓励人们在网上展示自己，建立联系” 符合文意，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Through these interactions, individuals are exposed to diverse perspectives and lifestyles, building cross-cultural relationships and enhancing their intercultural competence.(通过这些互动，个人接触到不同的观点和生活方式，建立跨文化关系，提高跨文化能力)”可知，前文说的是智能媒体对个人跨文化交流的积极影响，结合后文“Some companies using real-time translation platforms can negotiate contracts and establish partnerships with international customers without language barriers.(一些使用实时翻译平台的公司可以在没有语言障碍的情况下与国际客户谈判合同并建立合作伙伴关系)”提到一些公司利用实时翻译平台与国际客户谈判合同和建立合作关系，所以此空应过渡到智能媒体对国际商务关系的积极影响。B选项“此外，国际贸易关系被加强了”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“However, intelligent media can also negatively affect intercultural communication. For example, social media platforms often focus on popular content, such as jokes or trends, which may simplify or misrepresent certain cultures. This doesn’t encourage genuine cultural appreciation.(然而，智能媒体也会对跨文化交际产生负面影响。例如，社交媒体平台通常关注流行内容，如笑话或趋势，这可能会简化或歪曲某些文化。这并不能鼓励真正的文化欣赏)”可知，前文提到社交媒体平台对某些文化的简化或错误呈现不利于真正的文化欣赏，此空应进一步说明这种情况导致的后果。E选项“相反，它会导致误解和加深偏见”指出它会导致误解并加深偏见，符合文意，故选E。 【20题详解】 根据上文“In conclusion, while intelligent media promotes global cross-cultural exchange, it creates tensions within the values exchanged across cultures. As the digital world continues to expand, it is crucial to strike a balance between embracing innovation and preserving our cultural roots.(总之，智能媒体在促进全球跨文化交流的同时，也在跨文化交流的价值观中制造了紧张关系。随着数字世界的不断扩大，在拥抱创新和保护我们的文化根源之间取得平衡至关重要)”可知前文提到在拥抱创新和保护文化根源之间取得平衡至关重要，此空应说明这样做的好处。F选项“这样才能充分释放智能媒体的红利”符合语境，故选F。 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。 One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. ____21____ their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply ____22____. “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby ____23____.

Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her! Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies. ” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. She kept her head down with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s time for me to make an apology to Landy.” Catherine thought to herself. No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti? Are you crazy?” But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. “Hi, Landy. I’m sorry about the spaghetti thing.” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. “I know it hurts you. Can you forgive us?” She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also gained an important life lesson that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Catherine一开始在班上看到同学取笑自己的同桌Landy时，没什么反应。但后来去爷爷家过感恩节，看到一只小鸡由于与其他鸡不同而被啄，联想到了自己的同桌，后来带领班上同学向同桌Landy道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“这时Catherine看见Landy独自坐在一个角落里。”可知，第一段可描写Catherine注意到同桌Landy一个人坐在角落里时的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“但是Catherine不管他们说什么，直接向Landy走去。”可知，第二段可描写Catherine带着同学向Landy道歉后，Landy与其他同学的反应。 2. 续写线索：注意到Landy——联想到Landy的处境——决定道歉——道歉——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①低着头：keep her head down/put her head down/lower her head ②盯着地板：fixed on the floor/focused on the floor ③取笑：tease/laugh at 情绪类 ①吃惊的，惊讶的：astonished/surprised/amazed ②感动的：moved/touched ③真诚的：sincere/genuine 【点睛】[高分句型1]No sooner had she made up her mind than she announced it to the cool kids surrounding her.

My stomach was in knots as I guided Apollo, but I loosened my grip on the leash (狗绳), not wanting him to sense my tension. We had spent months preparing for this moment. What if all that work meant nothing? This calling was personal — it connected me to my grandfather, a World War II veteran (老兵) who had lost a leg. Watching him struggle with an artificial one gave me a profound respect for the military. I had even planned to enlist (入伍), until life pulled me toward training animals for Hollywood. In 2011, a retired Army officer called, asking if I could train a service dog for his friend Tyler, who had lost both legs in battle. That’s how Apollo entered my life. Donated by a breeder who found him “difficult,” he was the most out-of-control dog I had ever seen — chewing car doors and breaking leashes. Yet I refused to give up, knowing this wasn’t a movie set: if Tyler fell, Apollo had to be perfect. Finally, the day arrived. Tyler, tough but tired, rolled toward us. I introduced Apollo and explained what he could do — brace for balance and pull a wheelchair uphill. Tyler rested his head against Apollo’s neck, tears in his eyes. “Thank you,” he whispered. Relief washed over me. I thought I would hand over the leash and walk away, but instead, more veterans began asking if I could train dogs for them. That moment grew into the Argus Service Dog Foundation, dedicated to providing highly trained service dogs — free of charge — to disabled veterans. I realized then why this work mattered: dogs, unlike people, never say, “You’re not the same anymore. ” I walked away from Hollywood, slept on couches, and lived on free appetizers while building the foundation. Then came a new calling: a TV series, Lucky Dog, where I trained shelter dogs to serve families in need. It was the perfect blend of show business and service. On my wall hangs the old “lucky leash,” once torn by Apollo. To me, it’s a reminder that even the most broken beginnings can lead to lifelong purpose. 4. Why did the author start training service dogs? A. To meet Tyler’s request. B. To gain Hollywood fame. C. To imitate his grandfather. D. To assist disabled veterans. 5. Which of the following best reflects the author’s character? A. Mission-driven. B. Thrill-seeking. C. Detail-focused. D. People-pleasing. 6. What does Lucky Dog mean to the author? A. An escape from financial struggles. B. A shortcut to fame and recognition. C. A bridge between career and purpose. D. An opportunity to sell training services. 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Fortune favors the brave. B. A barking dog never bites. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Birds of a feather flock together. C A native foundation, Destiny Trust, has launched a technological programme-Kids Innovation Africa (KIA), an inspiring initiative that highlights the importance of early education in technology and creativity, designed to empower children with essential skills in coding, design, robotics, and the arts. The initiative aims to provide children, particularly those from underserved communities, with the tools to shape the future and create innovative solutions to some of the world’s pressing problems. The Destiny Trust works with children living in difficult circumstances, those from the streets, under bridges, or in extreme poverty. Going beyond simply enrolling them in schools, the Destiny Trust recognizes the need to equip these children with tangible, long-term skills, particularly in the field of technology. According to organizers, KIA offers free and low-cost access to technology and art` education, and the goal is to identify, develop, and showcase the talents of young children, ensuring that even those from disadvantaged backgrounds are not left behind in the digital age. For many participants, the programme was not just an opportunity to learn but a chance to bring to life the ideas they had been working on and dreaming about. The founder of the Destiny Trust, Mr. Abimbola Ojenike, laid great stress on technology in shaping the future of underprivileged children. She said: “We understand that the very best way we can favour them is by giving them skills that are in demand.” According to Ojenike, the Destiny Trust doesn’t just bring out a gift from a child, but others benefit from it, and that makes them unique. “We’re ensuring that every child, regardless of where they come from, is prepared for our digital future and given the skills they will need to thrive in today’s world,” Ojenike added. 8. What does “underserved communities” refer to in the first paragraph? A. Regions with high crime rates. B. Areas with limited access to resources. C. Communities with favorable conditions. D. Neighborhoods with well-educated residents. 9. In addition to enrolling children what other efforts does the Destiny Trust make? A. By organizing field trips. B By providing them with core skills. C. By offering meals and shelter to them. D. By arranging extracurricular activities. 10 What is the ultimate goal of the Kids Innovation Africa programme? A. To showcase artistic talents. B. To create innovative future leaders. C. To prepare children for the digital future. D. To reduce poverty in underdeveloped communities. 11. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Destiny Trust empowers children with skills in tech, art. B. Destiny Trust brings out a gift from children of poor areas. C. Children living in tough conditions can have a bright future. D. Technology is the hope for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. D A machine can now not only beat you at chess, it can also outperform you in debate. Last week, in a public debate in San Francisco, a software program called Project Debater beat its human opponents, including Noa Ovadia, Israel’s former national debating champion. Brilliant though it is, Project Debater has some weaknesses. It takes sentences from its library of documents and prebuilt arguments and strings them together. This can lead to the kinds of errors no human would make. Such wrinkles will no doubt be ironed out, yet they also point to a fundamental problem. As Kristian Hammond, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at Northwestern University, put it: “There’s never a stage at which the system knows what it’s talking about.” What Hammond is referring to is the question of meaning, and meaning is central to what distinguishes the least intelligent of humans from the most intelligent of machines. A computer works with symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules to transform one string of symbols into another. But it does not specify what those symbols mean. Indeed, to a computer, meaning is irrelevant. Humans, in thinking, talking, reading and writing, also work with symbols. But for humans, meaning is everything. When we communicate, we communicate meaning. What matters is not just the outside of a string of symbols, but the inside too, not just how they are arranged but what they mean. Meaning emerges through a process of social interaction, not of computation, interaction that shapes the content of the symbols in our heads. The rules that assign meaning lie not just inside our heads, but also outside, in society, in social memory, social conventions and social relations. It is this that distinguishes humans from machines. And that’s why, however astonishing Project Debater may seem, the tradition that began with Socrates and Confucius will not end with artificial intelligence. 12. Why does the author mention Noa Ovadia in the first paragraph? A. To explain the use of a software program. B. To show the cleverness of Project Debater. C. To introduce the designer of Project Debater. D. To emphasize the fairness of the competition. 13. What does the underlined word “wrinkles” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Arguments. B. Doubts. C. Errors. D. Differences. 14. What is Project Debater unable to do according to Hammond? A. Create rules. B. Comprehend meaning. C. Talk fluently. D. Identify difficult words. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Social interaction is key to understanding symbols. B. The human brain has potential yet to be developed. C. Ancient philosophers set good examples for debaters. D. Artificial intelligence ensures humans a bright future. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5） 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。选项中两项为多余选项。 The Impact of Intelligent media on Intercultural Communication With the development of science and technology, the media presents the characteristics of intelligence. ___16___ Due to these characteristics, it has transformed communication, enabling individuals and businesses to interact globally.

Wherever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did. Her deskmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was teased by her classmates, who were always chanting “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面)”. Every time Landy heard those silly chants, she could feel her face burst into flames. God knew how she wished the ground to crack and swallow her! Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular. One weekend, Catherine went over to her grandfather for Thanksgiving. Her grandfather lives on a farm at the opposite end of town, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a peculiar one. Curling in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare! “What’s the matter with it?” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies. ” “Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she scooped the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look. Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around the garden, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter lingering around the classroom. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1. Then Catherine spotted Landy sitting by herself in a corner. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2. But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, regardless of what they said. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
