第二节 英文书信(参考范文)
Dear Jim,
I’m thrilled to know you’re going to introduce Beijing students’ smart lifestyle! My suggestion is to focus on one key trend: AI-assisted learning.
Nowadays, AI tools are revolutionizing how high school students like me study. They provide instant homework help, generate practice questions, and even analyze our mistakes to create personalized study plans. Many classmates use voice assistants to practice English speaking, making learning more interactive. I believe your article will definitely be relevant if you highlight AI-assisted learning in Beijing and how it is transforming education here. Truly this is cutting-edge technology that is relatable to teens worldwide!
I hope my advice is helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua

The anxiety ____9____, replaced by rhythmic hum of the coffee machine. Now, when the morning light hits the milk jug just right, I no longer see the shadow of my former high-achieving self. ____10____, I see a woman who, just like the coffee beans, allows herself to be transformed into something richer, deeper, and far braver.

A category of synthetic organisms termed “mirror life”, whose component molecules (分子) are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose huge risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a recent article in Science.
Mirror life has to do with the universal phenomenon in the natural world in which a molecule or another object cannot simply be superimposed (重叠) on another. For example, your left hand can’t simply be turned over to match your right hand. This handedness is hugely important in biology because interactions between biomolecules rely on them having the expected form. For example, if a protein’s handedness is reversed, it cannot interact with partner molecules.
The authors are worried about mirror bacteria, the simplest life-form their concerns apply to. The capability to create mirror bacteria does not yet exist and is “at least a decade away”, but progress is underway. Katarzyna Adamala, one co-author of the article, fears that mirror bacteria could lead to permanent ecological damage and loss of life.
The initial enthusiasm for creating mirror versions of bacteria began with simpler imaginings. Researchers explored the use of mirror-image proteins and other molecules that are the building blocks of such an organism. One application is in drugs. Some drugs must be taken repeatedly because the body breaks them down. Mirror molecules resist this process, allowing drugs made from them to last longer.
Many immune system mechanisms also rely on handedness. T cells, responsible for recognizing foreign invaders, for example, might fail to bind to something with the wrong handedness, which could help therapies made from mirror molecules avoid triggering immune reactions in patients.
Another potential application of mirror bacteria might be bioreactors (生物反应器), biological factories that use cells or microorganisms to produce various compounds like antibiotics and other medicines. Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) can wipe out bacteria-based bioreactors, costing huge amounts of time and money, but it is likely they wouldn’t infect mirror bacteria, because they wouldn’t recognize their molecules.
It is these supposedly advantageous properties that gave rise to the scientists’ concerns. The ability to avoid immune responses could allow bacteria to cause deadly infections as they multiply uncontrollably. Unlike viruses, bacteria don’t require specific molecular interactions to infect hosts, and mirror bacteria could affect a wide range of organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. And a lack of natural enemies could enable mirror bacteria to spread widely through ecosystems.
45. Why is “handedness” important in biology?
A. It helps biomolecules to change functions when needed.
B. It ensures biomolecules to recognize their reversed forms.
C. It enables biomolecules to be superimposed on each other.
D. It allows biomolecules to interact correctly with each other.
46. What is Adamala’s attitude towards the development of mirror bacteria?
A. Defensive. B. Enthusiastic. C. Neutral. D. Worried.
47. What can we learn about the application of mirror life technology?
A. Mirror molecules help to activate immune reactions.
B. Mirror molecules can extend the effect of some drugs.
C. Mirror bacteria can be used to cure some rare diseases.
D. Mirror bacteria have the potential to damage bioreactors.
48. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Process and challenges of mirror life research.
B. Applications and benefits of mirror molecules.
C. The concept and potential impacts of mirror life.
D. Replacement of natural bacteria by mirror bacteria.
C
With the release of large language models (LLMs), people are trying to understand the nature of their intelligence.
Many people view LLMs as similar to an individual human mind. Others have proposed entirely different ways of conceptualizing them: as role players that can imitate many different characters; as cultural technologies like libraries and encyclopedias; as mirrors of human intelligence... The disagreements in the AI world on how to think about LLMs are clearly revealed in this diverse array of metaphors. Given our limited understanding of LLMs, it has been argued that “metaphors (比喻) are all we have for the moment to circle that black box.”
Humans tend to anthropomorphize nonhumans, including animals, corporations, and even the weather. But we are particularly vulnerable to this tendency when faced with AI systems that talk with us in fluent language, using first person pronouns, and telling us about their “feelings”.
Some experts urge the public to avoid anthropomorphizing AI and to think of AI systems as “tools” rather than as “creatures”, but LLMs are designed to achieve quite the opposite effect: to make humans conceptualize them as individual minds.
The LLM-as-mind metaphor is being used in legal arguments. All the big AI companies have trained their models on copyrighted texts without permission or compensation; and therefore facing lawsuits for copyright infringement (侵犯版权). Defendants argue that AI training on copyrighted materials is “fair use”, since LLMs are like human minds. They believe “If everything is just copyright then we shouldn’t be reading textbooks and learning because that would be copyright infringement.”
Legal scholar Jacqueline Charlesworth countered that this metaphor is intentionally misleading: “AI companies rely on our natural understanding of human intellectual ability and anthropomorphic language to encourage the misperception that AI machines learn and create like humans — that is, that they are capable of conceptual thinking and generalization from specific knowledge.” Going further, linguist Emily Bender noted that equating an LLM’s processing of its training text with a human reading and learning from books “rests on minimizing what it is to be human”.
AI researchers are still struggling to find the right metaphors to understand our mysterious creations. But as we humans make choices on how we use these systems, how we study them, and how we craft and apply laws and regulations to keep them safe and ethical, we need to be acutely aware of the often unconscious metaphors that shape our evolving understanding of the nature of their intelligence.
49. Why are various metaphors mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A To highlight LLMs’ multiple functions. B. To demonstrate conflicting perspectives.
C. To express human concerns over LLMs. D. To show the limitation of human cognition.
50. What does the underlined word “anthropomorphize” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Humanize. B. Simplify. C. Automate. D. Prioritize.
51. What will Charlesworth probably agree with?
A. AI machines learn and create like human beings do.
B. The public should regard LLMs as conscious beings.
C. AI training on copyrighted materials requires permission.
D. Using LLMs harms human conceptual thinking and creativity.
52. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate giving legal personhood to various LLMs.
B. To show the disagreements on the understanding of LLMs.
C. To discuss the legal and ethical problems caused by LLMs.
D. To warn us of the hidden influences of metaphorizing LLMs.

Conflict Avoidance Doesn’t Do You Any Favors
Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work. Instead of rightly speaking up, you choose to silently step back. ____53____ Aside from our work life, avoiding conflict can manifest in our romantic relationships, friendships, and even family dynamics.
Many of these tendencies can be traced back to growing up in an environment that was dismissive (鄙视的) or hypercritical. People who respond to conflict this way often expect negative outcomes and find it difficult to trust the other person’s reaction. ____54____
However, disagreeing with someone doesn’t necessarily mean “fighting”. It’s not about blaming the other person or proving who’s right and wrong in a given situation. Conflict resolution is about standing up for yourself and communicating when you feel angry or frustrated.
Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. ____55____ You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.”
Drawing upon your sensory toolbox also helps. If you’re a visual person, you can relieve stress by closing your eyes and imagining soothing images. Similarly, if you’re more comforted by smells, keeping an essential oil on hand is a good choice.
One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” ____56____ You’ll feel confident when addressing them.
____57____ While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers.
A. Practise the key points you’d like to get across.
B. Different cultures have diverse ways of handling conflicts.
C. Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives.
D. In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary.
E. Rather than allow conflicts to run wild in your head, try a firmer approach.
F. Being conflict avoidant means withdrawing from possible disagreements at all costs.
G. Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion.
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,26分)
第一节(共4小题;第56—58小题各2分,第59小题5分,共11分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Many people feel pressured to “find” their purpose — a single revelation that brings deep fulfillment. The reality is that purpose is not something to find; it’s something we create. And to do this, we need to recognize the “purpose anchors” that already exist around us. A purpose anchor can be thought of as a source of stability and grounding that helps you stay connected to your core values and life’s mission. So, how do we identify them?
To reconnect with your purpose, it can be helpful to think back to what excited you as a child. What activities or hobbies made you lose track of time? What were you drawn to instinctively, before you learned to doubt or suppress those desires? Revisiting the things that brought you joy as a child can reveal the raw, untainted (纯净的) passions that still hold potential. Rediscovering these early passions can light up a meaningful path forward.
Sometimes, our purpose becomes clouded by the overwhelming number of tasks and responsibilities. Over time, we may find ourselves buried under a mountain of obligations, many of which drain our energy and prevent us from engaging with what truly matters. A great way to identify purpose anchors is by practicing the art of subtraction. Make a list of all your work-related roles and responsibilities. Which ones drain your energy? Remove or reduce them, so you can focus on what remains — something that gives you energy and a sense of meaning.
If neither of the above methods seem to yield results, consider trying the “spaghetti method”. This approach is all about experimentation. Throw a bunch of “spaghetti” against the wall and see what sticks. Say yes to people or opportunities you might typically avoid. Try activities that make you slightly uncomfortable or curious. Push yourself outside your usual routines to discover new experiences that might light you up. Allow yourself to be guided by curiosity rather than certainty. If you try something and it excites you, that could very well be a purpose anchor in the making.
Building a life of purpose isn’t about waiting for the perfect revelation to come. It’s about creating your life step by step.
58. What is a purpose anchor according to the passage?
________________________________________________________________
59. How do joys of childhood help identify your life purpose?
________________________________________________________________
60. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
One practical way to identify a purpose anchor is to shoulder more responsibilities.
________________________________________________________________
61. Besides the methods in the passage, what is your way to find a purpose anchor? Please explain. (In about 40 words)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’ve called this meeting to tell you about moving our students to the new place in groups, so please listen carefully. The Agriculture students won’t move at all. Their new place was opened last year, and they are well placed for both labs and classroom space. The History students, however, are a different case. They will move to the new place next week, but unfortunately, their teachers will be left in the old buildings, as their new offices are still being painted. Better news for the Engineering students. You are already moving to the new place, and the move should be completed next week. The department of law has been moved downtown. They are now in their new buildings. We’re accepting suggestions for the ways school buildings could be used. So, if you have further questions, please let us know. Thank you.

W: Right. Let’s talk about the form first.
M: I think we can book food from a restaurant and hold the party in our school. The dance hall is a good place for it.
W: That’s good. Then we will book food and have the welcome party in the dance hall. The next one is the date. How about September 12th? It’s a Saturday.
M: That’s fine.
W: Let’s think about invitations.
M: I think we should invite dean, instructors, professors, and all new students. There will be about 50 people to come. So we will send out invitation cards this week, right?
W: Right. Now let’s count the cost.
M: How about 10 dollars for each person?
W: Paul, don’t forget I need some money to prepare for masks, colored lights and gifts.
M: Then 15 dollars?
W: At least. So the total cost is about 750 dollars.
M: I think that’s enough.

【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:妥协是各方为达成协议而放弃某些东西的行为。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词is,所以reach应用非谓语动词形式,根据句意可知,此处表示“为了达成协议”,应用不定式作目的状语。故填to reach。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:通过妥协,我们表现出对对方感受和需求的尊重,这可以加强我们之间的联系。空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词指代前面的整个句子,在从句中作主语,应用which引导从句。故填which。

A category of synthetic organisms termed “mirror life”, whose component molecules (分子) are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose huge risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a recent article in Science.
Mirror life has to do with the universal phenomenon in the natural world in which a molecule or another object cannot simply be superimposed (重叠) on another. For example, your left hand can’t simply be turned over to match your right hand. This handedness is hugely important in biology because interactions between biomolecules rely on them having the expected form. For example, if a protein’s handedness is reversed, it cannot interact with partner molecules.
The authors are worried about mirror bacteria, the simplest life-form their concerns apply to. The capability to create mirror bacteria does not yet exist and is “at least a decade away”, but progress is underway. Katarzyna Adamala, one co-author of the article, fears that mirror bacteria could lead to permanent ecological damage and loss of life.
The initial enthusiasm for creating mirror versions of bacteria began with simpler imaginings. Researchers explored the use of mirror-image proteins and other molecules that are the building blocks of such an organism. One application is in drugs. Some drugs must be taken repeatedly because the body breaks them down. Mirror molecules resist this process, allowing drugs made from them to last longer.
Many immune system mechanisms also rely on handedness. T cells, responsible for recognizing foreign invaders, for example, might fail to bind to something with the wrong handedness, which could help therapies made from mirror molecules avoid triggering immune reactions in patients.
Another potential application of mirror bacteria might be bioreactors (生物反应器), biological factories that use cells or microorganisms to produce various compounds like antibiotics and other medicines. Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) can wipe out bacteria-based bioreactors, costing huge amounts of time and money, but it is likely they wouldn’t infect mirror bacteria, because they wouldn’t recognize their molecules.
It is these supposedly advantageous properties that gave rise to the scientists’ concerns. The ability to avoid immune responses could allow bacteria to cause deadly infections as they multiply uncontrollably. Unlike viruses, bacteria don’t require specific molecular interactions to infect hosts, and mirror bacteria could affect a wide range of organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. And a lack of natural enemies could enable mirror bacteria to spread widely through ecosystems.
45. Why is “handedness” important in biology?
A. It helps biomolecules to change functions when needed.
B. It ensures biomolecules to recognize their reversed forms.
C. It enables biomolecules to be superimposed on each other.
D. It allows biomolecules to interact correctly with each other.
46. What is Adamala’s attitude towards the development of mirror bacteria?
A. Defensive. B. Enthusiastic. C. Neutral. D. Worried.
47. What can we learn about the application of mirror life technology?
A. Mirror molecules help to activate immune reactions.
B. Mirror molecules can extend the effect of some drugs.
C. Mirror bacteria can be used to cure some rare diseases.
D. Mirror bacteria have the potential to damage bioreactors.
48. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Process and challenges of mirror life research.
B. Applications and benefits of mirror molecules.
C. The concept and potential impacts of mirror life.
D. Replacement of natural bacteria by mirror bacteria.
【答案】45. D 46. D 47. B 48. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“镜像生命”这一合成生物类别的概念,以及其可能对人类生命和生态系统带来的巨大风险,同时探讨了镜像生命技术的潜在应用。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This handedness is hugely important in biology because interactions between biomolecules rely on them having the expected form. For example, if a protein’s handedness is reversed, it cannot interact with partner molecules. (这种手性在生物学中非常重要,因为生物分子之间的相互作用依赖于它们具有预期的形式。例如,如果蛋白质的手性颠倒,它就不能与配体分子相互作用。)”可知,手性在生物学中很重要是因为它允许生物分子之间正确地相互作用。故选D项。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Katarzyna Adamala, one co-author of the article, fears that mirror bacteria could lead to permanent ecological damage and loss of life. (这篇文章的一位合著者Katarzyna Adamala担心,镜像细菌可能会对生态造成永久性破坏,并导致生命损失。)”可知,Adamala对镜像细菌的发展持担忧态度。故选D项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some drugs must be taken repeatedly because the body breaks them down. Mirror molecules resist this process, allowing drugs made from them to last longer. (有些药物必须反复服用,因为身体会分解它们。镜像分子可以抵抗这一过程,使由它们制成的药物持续时间更长。)”可知,镜像分子可以延长某些药物的效果。故选B项。
【48题详解】
主旨大意题。纵观全文,尤其是根据第一段中“A category of synthetic organisms termed “mirror life”, whose component molecules (分子) are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose huge risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a recent article in Science.

With the release of large language models (LLMs), people are trying to understand the nature of their intelligence.
Many people view LLMs as similar to an individual human mind. Others have proposed entirely different ways of conceptualizing them: as role players that can imitate many different characters; as cultural technologies like libraries and encyclopedias; as mirrors of human intelligence... The disagreements in the AI world on how to think about LLMs are clearly revealed in this diverse array of metaphors. Given our limited understanding of LLMs, it has been argued that “metaphors (比喻) are all we have for the moment to circle that black box.”
Humans tend to anthropomorphize nonhumans, including animals, corporations, and even the weather. But we are particularly vulnerable to this tendency when faced with AI systems that talk with us in fluent language, using first person pronouns, and telling us about their “feelings”.
Some experts urge the public to avoid anthropomorphizing AI and to think of AI systems as “tools” rather than as “creatures”, but LLMs are designed to achieve quite the opposite effect: to make humans conceptualize them as individual minds.
The LLM-as-mind metaphor is being used in legal arguments. All the big AI companies have trained their models on copyrighted texts without permission or compensation; and therefore facing lawsuits for copyright infringement (侵犯版权). Defendants argue that AI training on copyrighted materials is “fair use”, since LLMs are like human minds. They believe “If everything is just copyright then we shouldn’t be reading textbooks and learning because that would be copyright infringement.”
Legal scholar Jacqueline Charlesworth countered that this metaphor is intentionally misleading: “AI companies rely on our natural understanding of human intellectual ability and anthropomorphic language to encourage the misperception that AI machines learn and create like humans — that is, that they are capable of conceptual thinking and generalization from specific knowledge.” Going further, linguist Emily Bender noted that equating an LLM’s processing of its training text with a human reading and learning from books “rests on minimizing what it is to be human”.
AI researchers are still struggling to find the right metaphors to understand our mysterious creations. But as we humans make choices on how we use these systems, how we study them, and how we craft and apply laws and regulations to keep them safe and ethical, we need to be acutely aware of the often unconscious metaphors that shape our evolving understanding of the nature of their intelligence.
49. Why are various metaphors mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A To highlight LLMs’ multiple functions. B. To demonstrate conflicting perspectives.
C. To express human concerns over LLMs. D. To show the limitation of human cognition.
50. What does the underlined word “anthropomorphize” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Humanize. B. Simplify. C. Automate. D. Prioritize.
51. What will Charlesworth probably agree with?
A. AI machines learn and create like human beings do.
B. The public should regard LLMs as conscious beings.
C. AI training on copyrighted materials requires permission.
D. Using LLMs harms human conceptual thinking and creativity.
52. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate giving legal personhood to various LLMs.
B. To show the disagreements on the understanding of LLMs.
C. To discuss the legal and ethical problems caused by LLMs.
D. To warn us of the hidden influences of metaphorizing LLMs.
【答案】49. B 50. A 51. C 52. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人们对大型语言模型(LLMs)本质的不同理解,通过比喻的方式揭示了这些理解上的分歧,并强调了这些比喻对法律、伦理和人类认知的潜在影响。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Many people view LLMs as similar to an individual human mind. Others have proposed entirely different ways of conceptualizing them: as role players that can imitate many different characters; as cultural technologies like libraries and encyclopedias; as mirrors of human intelligence... The disagreements in the AI world on how to think about LLMs are clearly revealed in this diverse array of metaphors. (许多人认为大型语言模型类似于个体的人类思维。其他人则提出了完全不同的概念化方式:将它们视为能够模仿许多不同角色的角色扮演者;视为像图书馆和百科全书这样的文化技术;视为人类智能的镜子……在这个多样化的比喻中,人工智能世界对如何看待大型语言模型的分歧显而易见。)”可知,第二段提到各种比喻是为了展示人们对LLMs的不同看法,即冲突的观点。故选B项。
【50题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“But we are particularly vulnerable to this tendency when faced with AI systems that talk with us in fluent language, using first person pronouns, and telling us about their “feelings”. (但是,当我们面对使用流利的语言与我们交谈、使用第一人称代词并告诉我们它们的“感受”的人工智能系统时,我们特别容易受到这种倾向的影响。)”可知,人类倾向于将非人类的事物,包括动物、公司甚至天气都拟人化,由此可推知,划线单词“anthropomorphize”指的是“将非人类的事物赋予人类的特征或行为”,即“拟人化”,与“Humanize (使人性化)”意思相近。故选A项。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Legal scholar Jacqueline Charlesworth countered that this metaphor is intentionally misleading: “AI companies rely on our natural understanding of human intellectual ability and anthropomorphic language to encourage the misperception that AI machines learn and create like humans — that is, that they are capable of conceptual thinking and generalization from specific knowledge.” (法律学者Jacqueline Charlesworth反驳说,这个比喻是故意误导人的:“人工智能公司依赖我们对人类智力能力的自然理解以及拟人化的语言,来鼓励人们误解人工智能机器像人类一样学习和创造 —— 也就是说,它们能够进行概念性思考和从特定知识中进行概括。”)”可知,Charlesworth认为AI公司使用“LLM-as-mind”这个比喻是误导人的,她强调AI机器并不像人类一样学习和创造,由此可推知,她可能认为在受版权保护的材料上训练AI需要得到许可,而不是像被告所主张的那样是“合理使用”。故选C项。
【52题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合最后一段“AI researchers are still struggling to find the right metaphors to understand our mysterious creations. But as we humans make choices on how we use these systems, how we study them, and how we craft and apply laws and regulations to keep them safe and ethical, we need to be acutely aware of the often unconscious metaphors that shape our evolving understanding of the nature of their intelligence. (人工智能研究人员仍在努力寻找合适的比喻来理解我们神秘的创造物。但是,当我们人类选择如何使用这些系统、如何研究它们,以及如何制定和应用法律法规来确保它们的安全和道德时,我们需要敏锐地意识到那些常常是无意识的比喻,这些比喻塑造了我们对其智能本质不断演变的理解。)”可知,文章主要讨论了人们对LLMs本质的不同理解,通过比喻的方式揭示了这些理解上的分歧,并强调了这些比喻对法律、伦理和人类认知的潜在影响,由此可推知,文章的目的是警告我们比喻化LLMs的潜在影响。故选D项。

Conflict Avoidance Doesn’t Do You Any Favors
Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work. Instead of rightly speaking up, you choose to silently step back. ____53____ Aside from our work life, avoiding conflict can manifest in our romantic relationships, friendships, and even family dynamics.
Many of these tendencies can be traced back to growing up in an environment that was dismissive (鄙视的) or hypercritical. People who respond to conflict this way often expect negative outcomes and find it difficult to trust the other person’s reaction. ____54____
However, disagreeing with someone doesn’t necessarily mean “fighting”. It’s not about blaming the other person or proving who’s right and wrong in a given situation. Conflict resolution is about standing up for yourself and communicating when you feel angry or frustrated.
Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. ____55____ You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.”
Drawing upon your sensory toolbox also helps. If you’re a visual person, you can relieve stress by closing your eyes and imagining soothing images. Similarly, if you’re more comforted by smells, keeping an essential oil on hand is a good choice.
One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” ____56____ You’ll feel confident when addressing them.
____57____ While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers.
A. Practise the key points you’d like to get across.
B. Different cultures have diverse ways of handling conflicts.
C. Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives.
D. In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary.
E. Rather than allow conflicts to run wild in your head, try a firmer approach.
F. Being conflict avoidant means withdrawing from possible disagreements at all costs.
G. Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion.
【答案】53. F 54. D 55. G 56. A 57. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了避免冲突并不总是对你有利,阐述人们避免冲突的根源并给出了在面对冲突时如何有效处理的建议。
【53题详解】
根据上文“Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work. Instead of rightly speaking up, you choose to silently step back. (想象一下这样的场景:你几周来一直在努力准备一个报告,但一个同事跳出来,把你的功劳全抢走了。你没有正确地站出来说话,而是选择默默地退后。)”以及下文“Aside from our work life, avoiding conflict can manifest in our romantic relationships, friendships, and even family dynamics. (除了工作生活,避免冲突还会体现在我们的恋爱关系、友谊甚至家庭关系中。)”可知,上文描述了一个人在面对冲突时选择避免冲突的场景,下文提到逃避冲突在恋爱关系、友谊甚至家庭关系中也会出现,F选项“Being conflict avoidant means withdrawing from possible disagreements at all costs. (避免冲突意味着不惜一切代价避免可能的分歧。)”承上启下,对上文中的行为进行了总结,说明了避免冲突的含义,同时引出下文避免冲突在其它多个方面的体现。故选F项。
【54题详解】
根据上文“Many of these tendencies can be traced back to growing up in an environment that was dismissive (鄙视的) or hypercritical. People who respond to conflict this way often expect negative outcomes and find it difficult to trust the other person’s reaction. (这些倾向中的许多都可以追溯到在一个轻视或过于挑剔的环境中成长。以这种方式应对冲突的人往往预期会有负面结果,并且发现很难相信对方的反应。)”可知,上文解释了人们会选择避免冲突的根源来自成长环境使他们存在负面预期和信任缺失,D选项“In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary. (换句话说,坚定地表达自己的观点似乎相当可怕。)”,进一步解释了人们避免冲突的心理,即害怕表达自己的观点,与上文语意和逻辑一致。故选D项。
【55题详解】
根据上文“Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. (在面对某人之前,试着审视自己感受。)”以及下文“You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.” (你可以尝试以下肯定句:‘此刻我有任何感受都是可以的——我的情绪是合理的。’‘我有价值,值得被倾听。’)”可知,上文建议审视自己的感受,下文给出了具体的肯定句来帮助处理情绪,G选项“Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion. (与其压抑情绪,不如试着从自我同情的角度来看待它们。)”,承接上文,说明了要正确处理情绪,而不是压抑情绪,又与下文的自我肯定相呼应。故选G项。
【56题详解】
根据上文“One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” (在面对某人之前的最后一步是制定计划。明确你想要解决的问题。然后,写下一些固定的、事实性的回答,以便在需要时使用,比如“过去两周我加班工作,而我的同事却没有提交他们那份研究报告。”)”可知,上文建议在面对冲突前要制定计划,并给出了具体的做法,A选项“Practise the key points you’d like to get across. (练习你想表达的关键点。)”,进一步给出了制定计划中的另一个具体做法,即练习要表达的关键点。故选A项。
【57题详解】
根据下文“While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers. (虽然永远不与他人对抗也没关系,但能够有效地解决问题意味着要接受这是与他人沟通的一个健康部分。记住,分歧能提供更深的理解,使与我们朋友、伴侣和同事的联系更容易。)”可知,下文强调了冲突在人际关系中的正常性以及处理冲突的重要性,C选项“Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives. (冲突是我们个人生活和职业生活中正常的一部分。)”引出了下文的话题,即冲突的正常性。故选C项。
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,26分)
第一节(共4小题;第56—58小题各2分,第59小题5分,共11分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Many people feel pressured to “find” their purpose — a single revelation that brings deep fulfillment. The reality is that purpose is not something to find; it’s something we create. And to do this, we need to recognize the “purpose anchors” that already exist around us. A purpose anchor can be thought of as a source of stability and grounding that helps you stay connected to your core values and life’s mission. So, how do we identify them?
To reconnect with your purpose, it can be helpful to think back to what excited you as a child. What activities or hobbies made you lose track of time? What were you drawn to instinctively, before you learned to doubt or suppress those desires? Revisiting the things that brought you joy as a child can reveal the raw, untainted (纯净的) passions that still hold potential. Rediscovering these early passions can light up a meaningful path forward.
Sometimes, our purpose becomes clouded by the overwhelming number of tasks and responsibilities. Over time, we may find ourselves buried under a mountain of obligations, many of which drain our energy and prevent us from engaging with what truly matters. A great way to identify purpose anchors is by practicing the art of subtraction. Make a list of all your work-related roles and responsibilities. Which ones drain your energy? Remove or reduce them, so you can focus on what remains — something that gives you energy and a sense of meaning.
If neither of the above methods seem to yield results, consider trying the “spaghetti method”. This approach is all about experimentation. Throw a bunch of “spaghetti” against the wall and see what sticks. Say yes to people or opportunities you might typically avoid. Try activities that make you slightly uncomfortable or curious. Push yourself outside your usual routines to discover new experiences that might light you up. Allow yourself to be guided by curiosity rather than certainty. If you try something and it excites you, that could very well be a purpose anchor in the making.
Building a life of purpose isn’t about waiting for the perfect revelation to come. It’s about creating your life step by step.
58. What is a purpose anchor according to the passage?
________________________________________________________________
59. How do joys of childhood help identify your life purpose?
________________________________________________________________
60. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
One practical way to identify a purpose anchor is to shoulder more responsibilities.
________________________________________________________________
61. Besides the methods in the passage, what is your way to find a purpose anchor? Please explain. (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________
【答案】
58. A purpose anchor is a source of stability and grounding that helps you stay connected to your core values and life’s mission.
59. Revisiting the things that brought you joy as a child can reveal the raw, untainted passions that still hold potential. Rediscovering these early passions can light up a meaningful path forward. 或 Revisiting childhood joys can reveal raw, untainted passions with potential, and rediscovering them can light up a meaningful path for life purpose.
60. One practical way to identify a purpose anchor is to shoulder more responsibilities. “shoulder more responsibilities” is false. According to the passage, a practical way is to remove or reduce responsibilities that drain your energy.
61. I would reflect on my strengths and skills to find a purpose anchor. For instance, if I excel in writing and communication, I might explore careers or hobbies related to writing or public speaking, finding purpose in areas where I can utilize my talents effectively. (答案不唯一,合理即可)
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“人生目标”展开讨论,指出目标并非找到的,而是创造的,并介绍了识别“目标锚点”的几种方法,如回顾童年乐趣、减法法则、“意大利面法”等。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“A purpose anchor can be thought of as a source of stability and grounding that helps you stay connected to your core values and life’s mission. (目标锚点可以被看作是一种稳定和基础的来源,帮助你与自己的核心价值观和人生使命保持联系。)”可知,目标锚点是一种稳定和基础的来源,帮助你与自己的核心价值观和人生使命保持联系。故答案为:A purpose anchor is a source of stability and grounding that helps you stay connected to your core values and life’s mission.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Revisiting the things that brought you joy as a child can reveal the raw, untainted passions that still hold potential. Rediscovering these early passions can light up a meaningful path forward. (重新回顾那些小时候给你带来快乐的事情,可以发现那些仍然具有潜力的原始而纯净的激情。重新发现这些早期的激情可以照亮一条有意义的前进道路。)”可知,童年的乐趣能揭示那些原始、纯净且仍有潜力的热情,重新发现这些早期热情可为人生目标指明有意义的方向。故答案为:Revisiting the things that brought you joy as a child can reveal the raw, untainted passions that still hold potential. Rediscovering these early passions can light up a meaningful path forward./Revisiting childhood joys can reveal raw, untainted passions with potential, and rediscovering them can light up a meaningful path for life purpose.
【60题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“A great way to identify purpose anchors is by practicing the art of subtraction. Make a list of all your work-related roles and responsibilities. Which ones drain your energy? Remove or reduce them, so you can focus on what remains — something that gives you energy and a sense of meaning. (识别目标锚点的一个好方法是练习减法艺术。列出你所有与工作相关的角色和责任。哪些消耗了你的精力?去掉或减少它们,这样你就可以专注于剩下的东西——那些能给你能量和意义感的东西。)”可知,识别目标锚点的一个好方法是去掉或减少消耗精力的责任,而不是承担更多的责任,所以“One practical way to identify a purpose anchor is to shoulder more responsibilities.”中“shoulder more responsibilities”表述错误。故答案为:One practical way to identify a purpose anchor is to shoulder more responsibilities. “shoulder more responsibilities” is false. According to the passage, a practical way is to remove or reduce responsibilities that drain your energy.
【61题详解】
考查开放性问题。我认为可以通过反思自己的优势和技能来找到目标锚点。例如,如果擅长写作和沟通,那么可以探索与写作或沟通相关的职业或爱好,如成为作家、编辑或参与公共演讲等。这样,可以找到既能发挥自己优势又能带来满足感的目标锚点;或,我会通过记录日常中让自己感到满足和有成就感的瞬间来寻找目标锚点,这些瞬间往往能反映出内心真正重视的东西。故答案为:I would reflect on my strengths and skills to find a purpose anchor. For instance, if I excel in writing and communication, I might explore careers or hobbies related to writing or public speaking, finding purpose in areas where I can utilize my talents effectively. 或 I’d record moments of satisfaction and accomplishment daily. These moments often reflect what I truly value, helping find purpose anchors. (答案不唯一,合理即可)

The anxiety ____9____, replaced by rhythmic hum of the coffee machine. Now, when the morning light hits the milk jug just right, I no longer see the shadow of my former high-achieving self. ____10____, I see a woman who, just like the coffee beans, allows herself to be transformed into something richer, deeper, and far braver.

A category of synthetic organisms termed “mirror life”, whose component molecules (分子) are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose huge risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a recent article in Science.
Mirror life has to do with the universal phenomenon in the natural world in which a molecule or another object cannot simply be superimposed (重叠) on another. For example, your left hand can’t simply be turned over to match your right hand. This handedness is hugely important in biology because interactions between biomolecules rely on them having the expected form. For example, if a protein’s handedness is reversed, it cannot interact with partner molecules.
The authors are worried about mirror bacteria, the simplest life-form their concerns apply to. The capability to create mirror bacteria does not yet exist and is “at least a decade away”, but progress is underway. Katarzyna Adamala, one co-author of the article, fears that mirror bacteria could lead to permanent ecological damage and loss of life.
The initial enthusiasm for creating mirror versions of bacteria began with simpler imaginings. Researchers explored the use of mirror-image proteins and other molecules that are the building blocks of such an organism. One application is in drugs. Some drugs must be taken repeatedly because the body breaks them down. Mirror molecules resist this process, allowing drugs made from them to last longer.
Many immune system mechanisms also rely on handedness. T cells, responsible for recognizing foreign invaders, for example, might fail to bind to something with the wrong handedness, which could help therapies made from mirror molecules avoid triggering immune reactions in patients.
Another potential application of mirror bacteria might be bioreactors (生物反应器), biological factories that use cells or microorganisms to produce various compounds like antibiotics and other medicines. Bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria) can wipe out bacteria-based bioreactors, costing huge amounts of time and money, but it is likely they wouldn’t infect mirror bacteria, because they wouldn’t recognize their molecules.
It is these supposedly advantageous properties that gave rise to the scientists’ concerns. The ability to avoid immune responses could allow bacteria to cause deadly infections as they multiply uncontrollably. Unlike viruses, bacteria don’t require specific molecular interactions to infect hosts, and mirror bacteria could affect a wide range of organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. And a lack of natural enemies could enable mirror bacteria to spread widely through ecosystems.
45. Why is “handedness” important in biology?
A. It helps biomolecules to change functions when needed.
B. It ensures biomolecules to recognize their reversed forms.
C. It enables biomolecules to be superimposed on each other.
D. It allows biomolecules to interact correctly with each other.
46. What is Adamala’s attitude towards the development of mirror bacteria?
A. Defensive. B. Enthusiastic. C. Neutral. D. Worried.
47. What can we learn about the application of mirror life technology?
A. Mirror molecules help to activate immune reactions.
B. Mirror molecules can extend the effect of some drugs.
C. Mirror bacteria can be used to cure some rare diseases.
D. Mirror bacteria have the potential to damage bioreactors.
48. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Process and challenges of mirror life research.
B. Applications and benefits of mirror molecules.
C. The concept and potential impacts of mirror life.
D. Replacement of natural bacteria by mirror bacteria.
C
With the release of large language models (LLMs), people are trying to understand the nature of their intelligence.
Many people view LLMs as similar to an individual human mind. Others have proposed entirely different ways of conceptualizing them: as role players that can imitate many different characters; as cultural technologies like libraries and encyclopedias; as mirrors of human intelligence... The disagreements in the AI world on how to think about LLMs are clearly revealed in this diverse array of metaphors. Given our limited understanding of LLMs, it has been argued that “metaphors (比喻) are all we have for the moment to circle that black box.”
Humans tend to anthropomorphize nonhumans, including animals, corporations, and even the weather. But we are particularly vulnerable to this tendency when faced with AI systems that talk with us in fluent language, using first person pronouns, and telling us about their “feelings”.
Some experts urge the public to avoid anthropomorphizing AI and to think of AI systems as “tools” rather than as “creatures”, but LLMs are designed to achieve quite the opposite effect: to make humans conceptualize them as individual minds.
The LLM-as-mind metaphor is being used in legal arguments. All the big AI companies have trained their models on copyrighted texts without permission or compensation; and therefore facing lawsuits for copyright infringement (侵犯版权). Defendants argue that AI training on copyrighted materials is “fair use”, since LLMs are like human minds. They believe “If everything is just copyright then we shouldn’t be reading textbooks and learning because that would be copyright infringement.”
Legal scholar Jacqueline Charlesworth countered that this metaphor is intentionally misleading: “AI companies rely on our natural understanding of human intellectual ability and anthropomorphic language to encourage the misperception that AI machines learn and create like humans — that is, that they are capable of conceptual thinking and generalization from specific knowledge.” Going further, linguist Emily Bender noted that equating an LLM’s processing of its training text with a human reading and learning from books “rests on minimizing what it is to be human”.
AI researchers are still struggling to find the right metaphors to understand our mysterious creations. But as we humans make choices on how we use these systems, how we study them, and how we craft and apply laws and regulations to keep them safe and ethical, we need to be acutely aware of the often unconscious metaphors that shape our evolving understanding of the nature of their intelligence.
49. Why are various metaphors mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A To highlight LLMs’ multiple functions. B. To demonstrate conflicting perspectives.
C. To express human concerns over LLMs. D. To show the limitation of human cognition.
50. What does the underlined word “anthropomorphize” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Humanize. B. Simplify. C. Automate. D. Prioritize.
51. What will Charlesworth probably agree with?
A. AI machines learn and create like human beings do.
B. The public should regard LLMs as conscious beings.
C. AI training on copyrighted materials requires permission.
D. Using LLMs harms human conceptual thinking and creativity.
52. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advocate giving legal personhood to various LLMs.
B. To show the disagreements on the understanding of LLMs.
C. To discuss the legal and ethical problems caused by LLMs.
D. To warn us of the hidden influences of metaphorizing LLMs.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)

Conflict Avoidance Doesn’t Do You Any Favors
Imagine this scenario: You’ve been working hard on a presentation for several weeks, but a co-worker jumps in and takes all the credit for your work. Instead of rightly speaking up, you choose to silently step back. ____53____ Aside from our work life, avoiding conflict can manifest in our romantic relationships, friendships, and even family dynamics.
Many of these tendencies can be traced back to growing up in an environment that was dismissive (鄙视的) or hypercritical. People who respond to conflict this way often expect negative outcomes and find it difficult to trust the other person’s reaction. ____54____
However, disagreeing with someone doesn’t necessarily mean “fighting”. It’s not about blaming the other person or proving who’s right and wrong in a given situation. Conflict resolution is about standing up for yourself and communicating when you feel angry or frustrated.
Before confronting someone, try examining your feelings. ____55____ You can try the following affirmations: “It’s OK to feel however I’m feeling at this moment — my emotions are valid.” “I am worthy and deserving of being heard.”
Drawing upon your sensory toolbox also helps. If you’re a visual person, you can relieve stress by closing your eyes and imagining soothing images. Similarly, if you’re more comforted by smells, keeping an essential oil on hand is a good choice.
One last step before confronting someone is having a plan. Clearly define what you’d like to resolve. Then, write down canned, factual responses to use when needed, like “I worked late for the past two weeks while my co-worker didn’t turn in their share of the research.” ____56____ You’ll feel confident when addressing them.
____57____ While it’s OK to never confront others, being able to resolve issues effectively means accepting it as a healthy part of communicating with others. Remember, disagreeing provides deeper understanding and makes it easier to connect with our friends, partners, and co-workers.
A. Practise the key points you’d like to get across.
B. Different cultures have diverse ways of handling conflicts.
C. Conflict is a normal part of our personal and professional lives.
D. In other words, expressing your opinion firmly can seem pretty scary.
E. Rather than allow conflicts to run wild in your head, try a firmer approach.
F. Being conflict avoidant means withdrawing from possible disagreements at all costs.
G. Instead of holding back emotions, try looking at them through the lens of self-compassion.
第四部分:书面表达(共两节,26分)
第一节(共4小题;第56—58小题各2分,第59小题5分,共11分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Many people feel pressured to “find” their purpose — a single revelation that brings deep fulfillment. The reality is that purpose is not something to find; it’s something we create. And to do this, we need to recognize the “purpose anchors” that already exist around us. A purpose anchor can be thought of as a source of stability and grounding that helps you stay connected to your core values and life’s mission. So, how do we identify them?
To reconnect with your purpose, it can be helpful to think back to what excited you as a child. What activities or hobbies made you lose track of time? What were you drawn to instinctively, before you learned to doubt or suppress those desires? Revisiting the things that brought you joy as a child can reveal the raw, untainted (纯净的) passions that still hold potential. Rediscovering these early passions can light up a meaningful path forward.
Sometimes, our purpose becomes clouded by the overwhelming number of tasks and responsibilities. Over time, we may find ourselves buried under a mountain of obligations, many of which drain our energy and prevent us from engaging with what truly matters. A great way to identify purpose anchors is by practicing the art of subtraction. Make a list of all your work-related roles and responsibilities. Which ones drain your energy? Remove or reduce them, so you can focus on what remains — something that gives you energy and a sense of meaning.
If neither of the above methods seem to yield results, consider trying the “spaghetti method”. This approach is all about experimentation. Throw a bunch of “spaghetti” against the wall and see what sticks. Say yes to people or opportunities you might typically avoid. Try activities that make you slightly uncomfortable or curious. Push yourself outside your usual routines to discover new experiences that might light you up. Allow yourself to be guided by curiosity rather than certainty. If you try something and it excites you, that could very well be a purpose anchor in the making.
Building a life of purpose isn’t about waiting for the perfect revelation to come. It’s about creating your life step by step.
