Two years ago, the 88-year-old master passed away, and shortly before his death, a remarkable exhibition charting his decades-long career opened. Having traveled from Cambridge to Kirkcudbright, the major exhibition has now found its latest stop at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, where it will be on display for five months to celebrate his extraordinary works. At the heart of the exhibition lies a treasure collection of early drafts and drawings, each filled with corrections that reveal Briggs’strict pursuit of artistic excellence. Over a third of the 100-plus exhibits are new additions to the Ditchling stop, mixing well with the original collection organized by the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. For example, a set of carefully arranged wardrobe (衣柜) doors perfectly matches the previously displayed pencil drawings from Ethel and Ernest, creating a complete story of his creative journey. Briggs was a born storyteller who combined picture books and comics. He mastered the art of balancing joy and sorrow: his famous Snowman brought tears with its silent, heartbreaking melting scene, while his easily annoyed yet warm Father Christmas caused constant laughter. Having improved his skills at Wimbledon School of Art and later the Slade School of Fine Art, he laid a solid foundation for his distinctive style that resonated deeply with both children and adults. Even after achieving fame, Briggs kept a simple heart. A newly found Finnish edition of The Snowman bore his 2014 note: “I got my most famous character’s arms wrong.” This exhibition is a love letter to his fans, who, standing before his works, feel close to his creative struggles and joys. Leaving the museum, they are eager to revisit his books, stepping again into the magical world he created with simple yet deeply touching lines. 4. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. Briggs’influence on readers. B. An event after Briggs’death. C. A celebration of Briggs’works. D. An exhibition of Briggs’career. 5. What can we learn about the new exhibits? A. They feature items from Ethel and Ernest. B. They concentrate on Briggs’early pieces. C. They take up half of the total exhibits. D. They match the original collection well. 6. What does the underlined word “resonated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Agreed. B. Connected. C. Struggled. D. Remained. 7. What does Briggs’note in The Snowman show about him? A. His humble attitude towards his own work. B. His desire to correct earlier mistakes. C. His regret over the creation of the character. D. His perfectionism about artistic details. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍英国插画师 Raymond Briggs 的职业生涯展览，展出其草稿与新展品，讲述他平衡悲喜的创作风格、谦逊态度与对读者的深远影响。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Raymond Briggs, a beloved British illustrator and storyteller, left a lasting mark on readers of all ages with his unique artistic style. Two years ago, the 88-year-old master passed away, and shortly before his death, a remarkable exhibition charting his decades-long career opened. Having traveled from Cambridge to Kirkcudbright, the major exhibition has now found its latest stop at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, where it will be on display for five months to celebrate his extraordinary works.(雷蒙德・布里格斯是一位深受喜爱的英国插画师与故事创作者，他以独特的艺术风格，给各年龄段读者留下了深远影响。两年前，这位 88 岁的艺术大师离世。在他去世前不久，一场回顾其数十年创作生涯的精彩展览正式开幕。这场重要展览从剑桥巡展至柯库布里，如今来到最新一站——迪奇林艺术与工艺博物馆，将在此展出五个月，以致敬他非凡的作品)”可知，第一段重点介绍纪念 Raymond Briggs 职业生涯的展览最新展出信息。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Over a third of the 100-plus exhibits are new additions to the Ditchling stop, mixing well with the original collection organized by the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration.(在这100多件展品中，超过三分之一是迪奇林站的新展品，与由昆廷·布莱克插画中心组织的原藏品相得益彰)”可知，这些新展品与原藏品很相配。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Having improved his skills at Wimbledon School of Art and later the Slade School of Fine Art, he laid a solid foundation for his distinctive style that (在温布尔登艺术学校以及后来的斯莱德美术学院不断提升了自己的技艺之后，他奠定了自己独特风格的基础)”以及后文“with both children and adults(儿童和成人)”可知，风格与读者产生共鸣、建立连接。故划线词意思是“连接”。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Even after achieving fame, Briggs kept a simple heart. A newly found Finnish edition of The Snowman bore his 2014 note: “I got my most famous character’s arms wrong.”(即便在成名之后，布里格斯仍保持着一颗质朴的心。一本新发现的芬兰语版《雪人》附有他2014年的自述：“我把我最著名角色的手臂画错了。”)”可知，布里格斯在《雪人》中的笔记体现了他对自己作品的谦逊态度。故选A。 C From Florida’s Wetlands, the Miccosukee people have long shared islands with a 7-foot female alligator (短吻鳄), warmly called Mama Gator. For 60 years, they’ve observed her shape the ecosystem: digging ponds to hold water in dry seasons and building raised nests for eggs in rainy seasons, with humans keeping a respectful distance during nesting. This close coexistence mirrors a broader truth — alligators are vital “ecosystem engineers,” not just cold-blooded killers. Scientific research now backs the Miccosukee people’s wisdom. Alligator ponds serve as shelters for fish, frogs and plants during dry seasons, while their nests create dry platforms for other animals and birds. Water birds even nest above alligators, which act as bodyguards against ring-tailed bears, in a two-way beneficial arrangement. As top predators (捕食者), alligators move nutrients around by moving between habitats, eating in coastal areas and answering the call of nature upstream, boosting the food web from water plants to larger animals. Once on the edge of extinction due to hunting for their skins in the 19th and 20th centuries, American alligators made a remarkable comeback after 1967 protection laws, with wild populations recovering to over three million in Florida and Louisiana. Today, researchers uncover more hidden benefits: alligator-rich wetlands store high levels of carbon, aiding climate change control, and some alligators exhibit surprising adaptability — from resident individuals staying close to home to highly mobile ones traveling hundreds of kilometers to coastal waters for food, despite lacking salt-processing glands (腺体). Conservation efforts, including landowners’ head-starting programs and the Miccosukee people’s egg-rescue initiatives, continue to safeguard alligators. Biologists stress that these animals deserve recognition not as monsters, but as kind guardians that maintain freshwater ecosystems, support biodiversity and fight climate change. As the Miccosukee know, coexisting with alligators means respecting nature’s delicate balance. 8. How does Mama Gator affect the local environment? A. By living with the Miccosukee people. B. By keeping a distance from humans. C. By creating ponds and high nests. D. By boosting the original food web. 9. Which of the following best describes the impact of Alligator ponds? A. Wide-ranging. B. Double-edged. C. Short-lived. D. Time-limited. 10. What does the author imply in paragraph 3? A. American alligators can process salt. B. The 1967 laws have proven effective. C. Nearby habitats have been destroyed. D. Adaptability of species is significant. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Alligators: Protectors of the Ecosystem. B. Mama Gator: A Star of the Grassland. C. The Miccosukee: Guardians of Nature. D. Wetlands: Sites of Conservation Efforts. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了短吻鳄并非冷血杀手，而是重要的“生态系统工程师”，通过具体事例展现了短吻鳄对生态环境的重要作用、其种群的恢复情况以及人们为保护短吻鳄所做的努力，体现了人与自然共生的理念。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For 60 years, they’ve observed her shape the ecosystem: digging ponds to hold water in dry seasons and building raised nests for eggs in rainy seasons, with humans keeping a respectful distance during nesting.(60年来，他们观察到它塑造了生态系统：旱季挖池塘蓄水，雨季筑高巢产卵，人类在它筑巢期间保持着尊重的距离。)”可知，短吻鳄妈妈通过挖池塘和筑高巢影响当地环境。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Alligator ponds serve as shelters for fish, frogs and plants during dry seasons, while their nests create dry platforms for other animals and birds. Water birds even nest above alligators, which act as bodyguards against ring-tailed bears, in a two-way beneficial arrangement.(短吻鳄池塘在旱季为鱼类、青蛙和植物提供庇护所，而它们的巢穴为其他动物和鸟类创造了干燥的平台。水鸟甚至在短吻鳄上方筑巢，短吻鳄充当保镖抵御环尾熊，形成一种双向互利的关系。)”可知，短吻鳄池塘的影响范围广泛，惠及多种生物。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Once on the edge of extinction due to hunting for their skins in the 19th and 20th centuries, American alligators made a remarkable comeback after 1967 protection laws, with wild populations recovering to over three million in Florida and Louisiana.(在19世纪和20世纪，由于人们猎杀短吻鳄获取其皮，美国短吻鳄曾濒临灭绝，但在1967年保护法实施后，它们实现了惊人的复苏，佛罗里达州和路易斯安那州的野生种群已恢复到300多万只。)”可知，1967年的保护法被证明是有效的。由此可推断，1967年的法律有效帮助短吻鳄种群复苏，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章核心围绕短吻鳄展开，介绍了它们作为“生态系统工程师”对生态环境的保护作用，包括塑造生态系统、保护生物多样性、助力气候变化控制等。A选项：Alligators: Protectors of the Ecosystem (短吻鳄：生态系统的守护者)符合主题，适合用作标题，故选A。 D Sleep is risky. When you fall asleep, your defences are down, making you an easy target for predators and other threats. And yet, the majority of living things do it, including most animals, insects and even many plants. So, why did it first develop? It’s a mystery that scientists have been trying to solve for decades. Recently, a team of Israeli scientists decided to dive into the ocean in search of an answer, placing two ancient sea creatures in their sights: the upside-down jellyfish and the starlet sea anemone, which are among the oldest animals to have developed on Earth. Publishing their findings in the journal Nature Communications, the scientists report that these early creatures need about as much shut-eye as humans do and that sleep may have first emerged as a means of protecting delicate nervous tissue. Both jellyfish and the starlet sea anemone sleep about a third of the day — about 8 hours in human terms — in their natural habitats, and that the sleep schedules they keep respond heavily to sleep loss, environmental light, and body clocks. Feeding the creatures melatonin — a natural hormone (荷尔蒙) involved in sleep control, whose production is influenced by light — led to increased sleep during times when each creature would normally have been more active, but had little impact on their activity during normal rest periods. It also reduced DNA damage in both species during times of the day when they were normally awake. The scientists measured DNA damage in the two creatures under different conditions as well and found that it climbed when they were awake and worsened when they were short of sleep, but declined when they were asleep and following “recovery” sleep. They found that DNA damage pushed the creatures to sleep more. Most surprisingly, they conducted further research, and the results showed that more DNA damage led to more sleep, and more sleep reduced DNA damage. The findings suggest that sleep may have arrived on the scene to allow living things to survive the destruction of time. 12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By comparing different species. B. By explaining a key concept. C. By raising a puzzling question. D. By showing research findings. 13. What discovery did the scientists make about the two simple sea creatures? A. They have regular sleep patterns. B. They sense food in bright conditions. C. They live in shallow coastal waters. D. They take in oxygen through their skin. 14. Why does the author mention “DNA damage”? A. To indicate the harm of staying awake. B. To illustrate the initial function of sleep. C. To present the risks of cell damage. D. To introduce a basis for clock control. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Rest keeps off dangers. B. Wakefulness hurts cells. C. Light affects activities. D. Sleep fixes DNA damage. 【答案】12 C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家通过研究两种古老海洋生物揭示睡眠可能最初是为保护神经组织而进化的功能。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“So, why did it first develop? It’s a mystery that scientists have been trying to solve for decades.(那么，它最初为什么会出现呢？这是几十年来科学家们一直试图解开的谜团)”可知，作者通过提出一个令人困惑的问题来引出主题。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Both jellyfish and the starlet sea anemone sleep about a third of the day — about 8 hours in human terms — in their natural habitats, and that the sleep schedules they keep respond heavily to sleep loss, environmental light, and body clocks.(水母和小海葵在自然栖息地每天大约睡三分之一的时间——按人类时间计算约为8小时——它们的睡眠时间安排对睡眠不足、环境光线和生物钟有很强的反应)”可知，科学家发现这两种简单的海洋生物有规律的睡眠模式。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The scientists measured DNA damage in the two creatures under different conditions as well and found that it climbed when they were awake and worsened when they were short of sleep, but declined when they were asleep and following “recovery” sleep. They found that DNA damage pushed the creatures to sleep more. Most surprisingly, they conducted further research, and the results showed that more DNA damage led to more sleep, and more sleep reduced DNA damage.(科学家们还测量了这两种生物在不同条件下的DNA损伤情况，发现当它们醒着时DNA损伤会增加，睡眠不足时DNA损伤会恶化，而当它们睡着或进行“恢复”睡眠后DNA损伤会减少。他们发现DNA损伤促使这些生物睡得更多。最令人惊讶的是，他们进行了进一步的研究，结果表明更多的DNA损伤会导致更多的睡眠，而更多的睡眠会减少DNA损伤)”可知，作者提到“DNA损伤”是为了说明睡眠的初始功能可能是为了减少DNA损伤，保护神经组织。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings suggest that sleep may have arrived on the scene to allow living things to survive the destruction of time.(这些发现表明，睡眠的出现可能是为了让生物能够在时间的摧残中生存下来)”可知，作者在最后一段暗示睡眠可以修复DNA损伤，帮助生物生存。故选D。 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。 Tips for Talking to a Chatbot How often do you talk to an AI assistant? A few times a week? Every day? Short conversations with AI can be helpful or entertaining. ____16____ Here are tips to keep in mind when talking to AI-powered tools. Your voice matters. You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. Sometimes you might feel discouraged or embarrassed as your own writing can’t live up to the smooth sentences and clever vocabulary of a chatbot. ____17____ Look to real people for important advice. When you need help, you should reach out to real people who you know and trust will get you meaningful, honest feedback. ____18____ By contrast, a chatbot doesn’t know you and can’t comfort you. A very serious mental-health crisis can be horribly mishandled by a chatbot. Don’t fall for flattery (奉承). Chatbots love to shower praise and they’ll agree with almost anything you say. But sometimes you don’t need a cheerleader so much as a firm coach. After all, people know that criticism and correction help us learn and grow. Also, watch out for made-up facts. ____19____ When an honest person doesn’t know the answer to a question, they’ll say, “I don’t know.” However, chatbots don’t do that. They tend to confidently answer every question. So if you’re using a chatbot for something important, you’d better be very, very careful. ____20____ That means you shouldn’t share very personal information. Talking with a free chatbot is like posting on social media. On free mode, the company that built the bot and anyone they hire can see and use your data. Anything you say has the potential to spread far and wide. A Don’t use free chatbots. B. But sometimes, things go wrong. C. Keep private information to yourself. D. Have you ever seen chatbots saying this? E. The answers you’re getting may not be what you really need. F. A true friend will call you out when you do something wrong. G. But what you’re creating matters more than what a machine creates. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. D 20.

At the age of sixty-four, she found the shortening days, the cold rain and lasting darkness increasingly difficult to bear. It wasn’t the cold that troubled her — it was the fading (渐暗的) light, the absence of the brilliant sunshine that had always felt like a promise of adventures yet to come. She feared her own adventuring days had ended before she’d even realized they were over. Her sadness was interrupted one afternoon by the sound of the front door shutting hard, followed by her granddaughter Beth’s anxious entrance into the kitchen. Tearfully, Beth explained that her carefully planned long-distance trip to Asia had collapsed. Her travel partner had withdrawn, and Beth’s parents had firmly refused to let her travel alone. Gina’s heart ached as she watched the young girl’s dreams break — she saw so much of her own youthful spirit reflected in her granddaughter’s disappointed eyes. In the days that followed, Gina found herself reflecting on her own lost opportunities. She remembered her youthful travels across Europe, adventures that had ended suddenly when marriage and motherhood arrived. Now as a woman whose husband had passed away, she resigned herself to quiet days, believing adventure belonged only to the young. The turning point came during one of their quiet, treasured evenings together. As they sat by the fire, Beth cleverly turned their conversation toward literature, recalling heroines from classic novels who traveled with older partners. “In those days,” Beth remarked thoughtfully, “young women often traveled with relatives who kept them company.” Her eyes met Gina’s, and in that quiet moment, an unspoken question passed between them. “Gran,” Beth began hesitantly, “would you consider… coming to Asia with me in January?” Time seemed to stand still. Gina felt something shift inside her — a long-silent fire starting to burn. Looking at Beth’s hopeful face, she saw not just her granddaughter, but a chance to regain a part of herself she thought was lost forever. 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。 Gina took a deep breath, feeling a wave of excitement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, fully prepared, they boarded the plane to Asia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version (高级版) Gina took a deep breath, feeling a wave of excitement. Her kitchen table disappeared beneath a sea of guidebooks and maps, their pages heavily marked with highlighted routes and possibilities. Evenings were devoted to mastering basic local and tourist phrases. Their awkward pronunciations soon gave way to fluent greetings, filling the small kitchen again with the sound of their shared laughter. Even Lucy, who had been deeply doubtful, found herself quietly softened by the fresh energy shining in her mother — a change too deep and joyful to deny. Then, fully prepared, they boarded the plane to Asia. They wandered through local markets, tasted unique street food, and admired ancient temples. In Beijing, they rose early in the morning to witness the sun warming the Badaling Great Wall, their hands held tightly together. For Gina, every new experience felt like rediscovering a part of herself she had long forgotten. The woman once worried that her adventuring days were gone. Now she’s walking through forests and exploring foreign cities with her beloved granddaughter by her side. One possible version (简易版) Gina took a deep breath, feeling a wave of excitement. Her kitchen table was covered with guidebooks and maps. All the pages were marked with many different routes and plans. They spent their evenings learning some simple local words and tourist expressions. At first, they could not pronounce them well, but they soon learned to speak smoothly. Their laughter filled the small kitchen again. Even Lucy, who had been very doubtful, was touched by her mother’s new energy. It was such a big and happy change that no one could deny it. Then, fully prepared, they boarded the plane to Asia. They walked around local markets, tasted special street food, and visited old temples. In Beijing, they got up early in the morning to see the sun rise over the Badaling Great Wall. They held each other’s hands tightly. For Gina, every new experience made her find a part of herself that she had forgotten for a long time. She once thought she could no longer travel and have fun. Now she is walking through forests and visiting foreign cities with her dear granddaughter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。64岁的吉娜因英国冬日的阴冷和日渐消逝的光明而心情低落，觉得自己冒险的日子已结束。孙女贝丝旅行计划泡汤，后邀吉娜同行亚洲，吉娜内心重燃冒险之火，看到了重拾自我的机会。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“吉娜深吸一口气，内心涌起一阵激动。”可知，第一段可以描写吉娜为亚洲之行做的充分准备，包括整理指南书、地图、练习当地语言的细节，以及女儿露西从怀疑到被吉娜的热情打动的心理变化。 ②由第二段句首内容“随后，她们做好了充分准备，登上了飞往亚洲的飞机。”可知，第二段可以描写她们抵达亚洲后的旅行经历，包括逛当地市场、品尝街头美食、游览古建筑（长城）的具体场景，以及吉娜在旅行中重新找回自我、弥补遗憾的心理转变，升华陪伴与冒险的主题。 2.续写线索：吉娜心生旅行热情并积极准备——女儿露西从怀疑逐渐被打动——整装出发前往亚洲——开启亚洲旅行，体验当地风情——游览长城等标志性景点，亲密相伴——吉娜在旅行中重新发现自我，完成心灵成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①做标记：mark/make marks on ②掌握：master/grasp/get the hang of ③紧握：hold tightly/grip firmly 情绪类 ①怀疑：doubtful/skeptical/uncertain ②担心：worried/anxious/concerned 【点睛】【高分句型1】Even Lucy, who had been deeply doubtful, found herself quietly softened by the fresh energy shining in her mother — a change too deep and joyful to deny.

Two years ago, the 88-year-old master passed away, and shortly before his death, a remarkable exhibition charting his decades-long career opened. Having traveled from Cambridge to Kirkcudbright, the major exhibition has now found its latest stop at Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft, where it will be on display for five months to celebrate his extraordinary works. At the heart of the exhibition lies a treasure collection of early drafts and drawings, each filled with corrections that reveal Briggs’strict pursuit of artistic excellence. Over a third of the 100-plus exhibits are new additions to the Ditchling stop, mixing well with the original collection organized by the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration. For example, a set of carefully arranged wardrobe (衣柜) doors perfectly matches the previously displayed pencil drawings from Ethel and Ernest, creating a complete story of his creative journey. Briggs was a born storyteller who combined picture books and comics. He mastered the art of balancing joy and sorrow: his famous Snowman brought tears with its silent, heartbreaking melting scene, while his easily annoyed yet warm Father Christmas caused constant laughter. Having improved his skills at Wimbledon School of Art and later the Slade School of Fine Art, he laid a solid foundation for his distinctive style that resonated deeply with both children and adults. Even after achieving fame, Briggs kept a simple heart. A newly found Finnish edition of The Snowman bore his 2014 note: “I got my most famous character’s arms wrong.” This exhibition is a love letter to his fans, who, standing before his works, feel close to his creative struggles and joys. Leaving the museum, they are eager to revisit his books, stepping again into the magical world he created with simple yet deeply touching lines. 4. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. Briggs’influence on readers. B. An event after Briggs’death. C. A celebration of Briggs’works. D. An exhibition of Briggs’career. 5. What can we learn about the new exhibits? A. They feature items from Ethel and Ernest. B. They concentrate on Briggs’early pieces. C. They take up half of the total exhibits. D. They match the original collection well. 6. What does the underlined word “resonated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Agreed. B. Connected. C. Struggled. D. Remained. 7. What does Briggs’note in The Snowman show about him? A. His humble attitude towards his own work. B. His desire to correct earlier mistakes. C. His regret over the creation of the character. D. His perfectionism about artistic details. C From Florida’s Wetlands, the Miccosukee people have long shared islands with a 7-foot female alligator (短吻鳄), warmly called Mama Gator. For 60 years, they’ve observed her shape the ecosystem: digging ponds to hold water in dry seasons and building raised nests for eggs in rainy seasons, with humans keeping a respectful distance during nesting. This close coexistence mirrors a broader truth — alligators are vital “ecosystem engineers,” not just cold-blooded killers. Scientific research now backs the Miccosukee people’s wisdom. Alligator ponds serve as shelters for fish, frogs and plants during dry seasons, while their nests create dry platforms for other animals and birds. Water birds even nest above alligators, which act as bodyguards against ring-tailed bears, in a two-way beneficial arrangement. As top predators (捕食者), alligators move nutrients around by moving between habitats, eating in coastal areas and answering the call of nature upstream, boosting the food web from water plants to larger animals. Once on the edge of extinction due to hunting for their skins in the 19th and 20th centuries, American alligators made a remarkable comeback after 1967 protection laws, with wild populations recovering to over three million in Florida and Louisiana. Today, researchers uncover more hidden benefits: alligator-rich wetlands store high levels of carbon, aiding climate change control, and some alligators exhibit surprising adaptability — from resident individuals staying close to home to highly mobile ones traveling hundreds of kilometers to coastal waters for food, despite lacking salt-processing glands (腺体). Conservation efforts, including landowners’ head-starting programs and the Miccosukee people’s egg-rescue initiatives, continue to safeguard alligators. Biologists stress that these animals deserve recognition not as monsters, but as kind guardians that maintain freshwater ecosystems, support biodiversity and fight climate change. As the Miccosukee know, coexisting with alligators means respecting nature’s delicate balance. 8. How does Mama Gator affect the local environment? A. By living with the Miccosukee people. B. By keeping a distance from humans. C. By creating ponds and high nests. D. By boosting the original food web. 9. Which of the following best describes the impact of Alligator ponds? A. Wide-ranging. B. Double-edged. C. Short-lived. D. Time-limited. 10. What does the author imply in paragraph 3? A. American alligators can process salt. B. The 1967 laws have proven effective. C. Nearby habitats have been destroyed. D. Adaptability of species is significant. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Alligators: Protectors of the Ecosystem. B. Mama Gator: A Star of the Grassland. C. The Miccosukee: Guardians of Nature. D. Wetlands: Sites of Conservation Efforts. D Sleep is risky. When you fall asleep, your defences are down, making you an easy target for predators and other threats. And yet, the majority of living things do it, including most animals, insects and even many plants. So, why did it first develop? It’s a mystery that scientists have been trying to solve for decades. Recently, a team of Israeli scientists decided to dive into the ocean in search of an answer, placing two ancient sea creatures in their sights: the upside-down jellyfish and the starlet sea anemone, which are among the oldest animals to have developed on Earth. Publishing their findings in the journal Nature Communications, the scientists report that these early creatures need about as much shut-eye as humans do and that sleep may have first emerged as a means of protecting delicate nervous tissue. Both jellyfish and the starlet sea anemone sleep about a third of the day — about 8 hours in human terms — in their natural habitats, and that the sleep schedules they keep respond heavily to sleep loss, environmental light, and body clocks. Feeding the creatures melatonin — a natural hormone (荷尔蒙) involved in sleep control, whose production is influenced by light — led to increased sleep during times when each creature would normally have been more active, but had little impact on their activity during normal rest periods. It also reduced DNA damage in both species during times of the day when they were normally awake. The scientists measured DNA damage in the two creatures under different conditions as well and found that it climbed when they were awake and worsened when they were short of sleep, but declined when they were asleep and following “recovery” sleep. They found that DNA damage pushed the creatures to sleep more. Most surprisingly, they conducted further research, and the results showed that more DNA damage led to more sleep, and more sleep reduced DNA damage. The findings suggest that sleep may have arrived on the scene to allow living things to survive the destruction of time. 12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By comparing different species. B. By explaining a key concept. C. By raising a puzzling question. D. By showing research findings. 13. What discovery did the scientists make about the two simple sea creatures? A. They have regular sleep patterns. B. They sense food in bright conditions. C. They live in shallow coastal waters. D. They take in oxygen through their skin. 14. Why does the author mention “DNA damage”? A. To indicate the harm of staying awake. B. To illustrate the initial function of sleep. C. To present the risks of cell damage. D. To introduce a basis for clock control. 15. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Rest keeps off dangers. B. Wakefulness hurts cells. C. Light affects activities. D. Sleep fixes DNA damage. 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。 Tips for Talking to a Chatbot How often do you talk to an AI assistant? A few times a week? Every day? Short conversations with AI can be helpful or entertaining. ____16____ Here are tips to keep in mind when talking to AI-powered tools. Your voice matters. You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. Sometimes you might feel discouraged or embarrassed as your own writing can’t live up to the smooth sentences and clever vocabulary of a chatbot. ____17____ Look to real people for important advice. When you need help, you should reach out to real people who you know and trust will get you meaningful, honest feedback. ____18____ By contrast, a chatbot doesn’t know you and can’t comfort you. A very serious mental-health crisis can be horribly mishandled by a chatbot. Don’t fall for flattery (奉承). Chatbots love to shower praise and they’ll agree with almost anything you say. But sometimes you don’t need a cheerleader so much as a firm coach. After all, people know that criticism and correction help us learn and grow. Also, watch out for made-up facts. ____19____ When an honest person doesn’t know the answer to a question, they’ll say, “I don’t know.” However, chatbots don’t do that. They tend to confidently answer every question. So if you’re using a chatbot for something important, you’d better be very, very careful. ____20____ That means you shouldn’t share very personal information. Talking with a free chatbot is like posting on social media. On free mode, the company that built the bot and anyone they hire can see and use your data. Anything you say has the potential to spread far and wide. A. Don’t use free chatbots. B. But sometimes, things go wrong. C. Keep private information to yourself. D. Have you ever seen chatbots saying this? E. The answers you’re getting may not be what you really need. F. A true friend will call you out when you do something wrong. G But what you’re creating matters more than what a machine creates. 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。 Ivy Lawrence never planned to become a farmer, yet life guided her onto this path.

At the age of sixty-four, she found the shortening days, the cold rain and lasting darkness increasingly difficult to bear. It wasn’t the cold that troubled her — it was the fading (渐暗的) light, the absence of the brilliant sunshine that had always felt like a promise of adventures yet to come. She feared her own adventuring days had ended before she’d even realized they were over. Her sadness was interrupted one afternoon by the sound of the front door shutting hard, followed by her granddaughter Beth’s anxious entrance into the kitchen. Tearfully, Beth explained that her carefully planned long-distance trip to Asia had collapsed. Her travel partner had withdrawn, and Beth’s parents had firmly refused to let her travel alone. Gina’s heart ached as she watched the young girl’s dreams break — she saw so much of her own youthful spirit reflected in her granddaughter’s disappointed eyes. In the days that followed, Gina found herself reflecting on her own lost opportunities. She remembered her youthful travels across Europe, adventures that had ended suddenly when marriage and motherhood arrived. Now as a woman whose husband had passed away, she resigned herself to quiet days, believing adventure belonged only to the young. The turning point came during one of their quiet, treasured evenings together. As they sat by the fire, Beth cleverly turned their conversation toward literature, recalling heroines from classic novels who traveled with older partners. “In those days,” Beth remarked thoughtfully, “young women often traveled with relatives who kept them company.” Her eyes met Gina’s, and in that quiet moment, an unspoken question passed between them. “Gran,” Beth began hesitantly, “would you consider… coming to Asia with me in January?” Time seemed to stand still. Gina felt something shift inside her — a long-silent fire starting to burn. Looking at Beth’s hopeful face, she saw not just her granddaughter, but a chance to regain a part of herself she thought was lost forever. 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。 Gina took a deep breath, feeling a wave of excitement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, fully prepared, they boarded the plane to Asia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
