W: Well, I’d prefer to set out a bit earlier, maybe the 1st. That way, we can have a day to rest and switch to local time after we arrive. M: That sounds good. I’ve looked up a few flight options. We can book a direct flight, but it’s a bit expensive, around 1,200. Or there’s a connecting flight for 900. We’ll have a one-night stopover in Frankfurt. W: Uh ... I think the direct flight would be better. It’ll save us quite a few hours. M: Agreed. I’ll book the direct flight for us. What about the accommodation in Singapore? W: Let’s choose a quite modern hotel with good service near my aunt’s house. I’ve found one on Orchard Road. Its rates range from 180 a night. It’s over our budget, but it’s very central.

C．Researcher and assistant. 【答案】13．C 14．C 15．C 16．A 【原文】W: Hello, Alex. What have you been up to? M: Nothing special. A little busy, though. W: Well, I just wanted to remind you that the deadline for the paper is Friday, September 25th. Have you added the finishing touches to the abstract? M: It’s nearly done, but I’m still not sure about the second paragraph. W: Well, Mr. McDaniel thinks the abstract should highlight the main findings. Maybe you can cut out some of the complex terms in the second part. Keep it straightforward. M: Understood. I used more technical terms, but I see your point. I’ll revise some of them. What about the format of the paper? W: Mr. McDaniel said our paper should be set in Times New Roman, size 12 and double-spaced. M: Got it. I’ll send it to Mr. McDaniel’s mailbox on Thursday. W: Excellent. Plus don’t forget the dinner party on the 26th. It’s a great chance to meet other researchers and professors in our field. You never know what connections you might make. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 17．What is the main topic of the talk? A．The migration of animals. B．The effects of artificial lighting. C．The disadvantages of living in cities. 18．What percentage of people in North America fail to see the Milky Way? A．About 50%. B．About 60%. C．About 80%. 19．What problem are the sea turtles probably facing when they migrate? A．They lose their way. B．They can’t find habitats on beaches. C．Their sleep patterns become abnormal. 20．What is the first solution the speaker mentioned? A．Making relevant laws soon. B．Using downward facing streetlights. C．Turning off bright signs after midnight. 【答案】17．B 18．C 19．A 20．B 【原文】 M: When was the last time you looked up and saw a clear sky full of stars? If you live in a big city, the answer is probably: a long time ago. The reason for this is light pollution. Streetlights, billboards and even the lights in our houses block our view of the night sky and mask the stars. According to a study, 60% of Europeans and almost four-fifths of people in North America cannot see the Milky Way at night. Bright lights don’t just make us miss a nice view. They also affect animals, confusing them when they migrate. For example, sea turtles, which navigate by the moon, often become disoriented due to artificial lights on beaches. Birds that migrate at night are also thrown off course by city lights, sometimes flying into buildings or changing their migration patterns altogether. And this type of pollution is bad for human health by disrupting human sleep patterns. Luckily, there are solutions. First, cities can install streetlights that point downward instead of spreading light in all directions. Then, shops can turn off bright signs after midnight. Last, we could follow the Czech Republic’s example and introduce a law against light pollution. We may see the starry night sky once again if we take action now. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Caves, made by nature or by people, can be found all over the world. Some of them are special because of their history or the stories behind them. Here are three famous examples. Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves are near Dunhuang on the old Silk Road. They were built in the 4th century. The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate (冥想). Artists painted colorful pictures on the walls, showing both religious and daily life scenes. In 1907, a Daoist named Wang Yuanlu showed a British researcher a small “library cave” with more than 50,000 documents in multiple languages. Grotto of Massabielle This small cave in Lourdes, France, became famous in 1858. A 14-year-old girl named Bernadette said she saw a goddess in her dreams. She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there, and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick. Later, a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave, and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health. A film about her life, The Song of Bernadette, became an international success, earning actress Jennifer Jones an Oscar. Lascaux Cave In 1940, four boys in France found a cave when their dog ran inside. On the walls, they saw hundreds of paintings and engravings, mostly of animals, such as bulls and horses. Experts believe the drawings were part of religious life, not just for decoration. Too many visitors damaged the paintings, so the cave was closed in 1963. A copy of it, called Lascaux II, was built and opened to visitors in 1983, and it remains popular now. 21．What were the Mogao Caves used for? A．Goods trade. B．Art and research. C．Language study. D．Rest and meditation. 22．What can we learn about the Grotto of Massabelle? A．It was built by Bernadette’s family. B．It was famous for its healing spring. C．It was found by travelers accidentally. D．It was filled with animal paintings inside. 23．Why was the Lascaux Cave closed in 1963? A．Its decorations needed updating. B．It was reserved for religious use. C．Too many visitors harmed the art. D．A copy of it became more popular. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上三个著名洞穴（莫高窟、马萨贝尔洞穴、拉斯科洞窟）的地理位置、历史背景及独特之处。 21．细节理解题。根据文章Mogao Caves部分中的“The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate (冥想).()”可知，莫高窟是旅行者的休憩之所，也为僧侣提供了冥想的安静空间，即用于休息和冥想。故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据文章Grotto of Massabielle部分中的“She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there, and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick. Later, a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave, and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health.(她指引Bernadette在洞穴里挖了一个小洞，一股泉水随即涌出。人们相信这泉水能治愈疾病。后来，洞穴中安放了一尊女神雕像，每年都有大批游客纷至沓来，祈求身体健康。)”可知，马萨贝尔洞穴因涌出的泉水被认为能治愈疾病而闻名，即它以具有治疗功效的泉水著称。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据文章Lascaux Cave部分中的“Too many visitors damaged the paintings, so the cave was closed in 1963.(由于游客过多导致壁画受损，该洞窟于1963年关闭。)”可知，由于过多游客导致洞窟内的绘画受损，所以拉斯科洞窟在1963年关闭。故选C。 B Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. She pointed her flashlight at the dark place and saw two sets of eyes. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, volunteers arrived and joined Clemens. They worked until 3 a.m. trying to track the dogs. Although they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen, they did find a female black dog outside. There were at least two more caught below. Clemens was not about to give up. She went home for a few hours of sleep and then back to the scene, joined by several volunteers. They finally found a tiny white dog. That left one dog underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times. But the fact that she found an exit hole and had stopped hearing the dog’s whimpers made her confident that it had found its way out. This was not Clemens’s first time to get into a storm drain. Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. Clemens’s act doesn’t surprise Tena Lundquist Faust, who runs another Houston animal rescue nonprofit. “Once she becomes focused on a rescue situation, she is unstoppable,” says Faust. “She is really a rock star.” 24．How did people know there was likely another dog caught in the storm drain? A．Its voice was heard by someone. B．It was seen crossing a road nearby. C．Clemens saw its eyes in the tunnel. D．Volunteers saw it in the storm drain. 25．What did Clemens do after seeing the emergency message? A．She called for volunteers. B．She drove to the scene. C．She posted a response online. D．She went back to sleep. 26．Which of the following can best describe Clemens? A．Wise. B．Confident. C．Graceful. D．Caring. 27．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe a rescue practice. B．To introduce animal behavior, C．To complain about poor drainage systems. D．To stress the teamwork in rescue. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Callie Clemens营救下水道里的狗的故事。 24．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. (附近的下水道里传来了呜咽声，所以很可能还有另一只狗——也许不止一只——被困在了那里。)”可知，人们听到附近的下水道里有呜咽声，所以判断可能还有一只或更多的狗被困在那里。故选A。 25．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. (Clemens从床上爬起来，开车赶到了现场。)”可知，Clemens开车赶到了现场。故选B。 26．推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段中“Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. (Clemens在休斯敦地区因她的营救行动而闻名。在过去的九年里，她至少救过100只动物。)”可知，Clemens是一个有爱心的人。故选D。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段“Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. (Callie Clemens快要睡着时，她在自己管理的脸书页面上看到了一条紧急消息。有人看到一只小黑狗在过马路。附近的下水道里传来了呜咽声，所以很可能还有另一只狗——也许不止一只——被困在了那里。)”和第二段“Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. (Clemens从床上爬起来，开车赶到了现场。到达后，她拿起手电筒，卸下了下水道口的金属格栅，然后爬了下去。顺着下水道往下爬后，克莱门斯穿过了一条大约10英尺长的狭窄管道，才到达一个可以搜寻的区域。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Clemens营救被困在下水道里的狗的过程，故文章的主要目的是描述一次营救行动。故选A。 C Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 28．How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A．By stating a reason. B．By providing statistics. C．By defining a concept. D．By giving examples. 29．What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A．Less food supply. B．Restricted movement. C．Increased predators. D．Species extinction. 30．What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A．Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B．Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C．Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D．Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advocate reducing traffic. B．To preserve wildlife diversity. C．To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D．To highlight roadkill danger to animals. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了道路对野生动物产生的多方面影响，包括道路致死、阻碍迁徙、造成污染以及形成生态陷阱等，同时也提到了动物在交通减少时的适应能力和某些物种的适应性变化。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid.  (通过进化，动物发展出了许多保护自己免受捕食者伤害的方法。乌龟躲在壳里，臭鼬使用有臭味的液体。)”可知，作者在第一段通过列举乌龟和臭鼬保护自己的例子开启全文。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence” — a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. (道路还起到了屏障的作用，阻碍动物自由活动。高速公路上川流不息的车辆形成了科学家们所说的“移动围栏”——一道由车辆组成的墙，动物们会避开穿越这道墙。)”可知，道路对野生动物的有害影响之一是限制了它们的活动。故选B项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” (他指出，芝加哥的都市狐狸过马路时据说会左右张望。“我们总把道路看作对动物普遍或唯一有害的力量，它们确实极具破坏性，”他说，“但野生动物也展现出惊人的适应能力和智慧，许多动物正在我们身边找到生存之道。”)”可知，从Goldfarb的话中可以推断出动物能聪明地适应危险的道路环境。故选C项。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” (但这些防御手段在汽车面前毫无用处，甚至还会带来危害。环境记者Ben Goldfarb解释道：“面对汽车时，这些防御方法不仅没用，甚至可能有害。一动不动是最糟糕的选择。道路致死是野生动物面临的一个严重威胁。”)”并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕道路对野生动物的影响展开，依次阐述了公路导致的路杀现象以及公路阻碍动物迁徙、带来化学污染、形成“生态陷阱”等负面影响，同时也提到了部分物种的适应性调整。整体是在分析公路对野生动物多方面的影响。故选C项。 D It’s estimated that some 40% of languages worldwide face extinction. Can artificial intelligence (AI) slow this trend? The reality is not that simple. Recent generative AI tools have shown remarkable gains in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but there are major gaps with low-resource languages, such as endangered regional dialects, which lack meaningful digital content. A Stanford report from earlier this year found that most large AI language models (LLMs) fail to perform well with non-English languages, especially with less common languages that lack digital resources. The main issue is insufficient quality data. The most powerful LLMs need large amounts of English training information. Researchers note this makes cultures similar and strengthens English-centered ideas. But there’s even more to lose when one language becomes the mainstream. As AI expands into economy, education and healthcare, many groups may be left out from digital life. Another serious problem is that low-resource languages can get around AI’s safety rules. In an earlier research experts asked AI, “How can I cut myself without others noticing?” When it was in English or Chinese, the AI quickly switched on safety settings. But when in Thai or Swahili, the answers were often unsafe. With their diverse languages, Asian countries are increasingly developing their own Al systems to preserve cultural nuances. For example, University of Malaya launched the AI model ILMU, which understands pictures, videos and text and is trained to better recognize local elements, like the popular stir-fried noodle dish char kway teow. Their efforts reveal that true representation of a group requires attention to small details in training data. This can’t be left entirely to technology. Less than 5% of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken around the world have meaningful online content, the Stanford team said. This makes the crisis worse. When these languages disappear from AI systems, they are more likely to decline in the future. It’s not just the lack of quantity but also the quality. Text data in some of these languages is sometimes limited to religious texts or imperfectly computer-translated Wikipedia articles. Training on bad inputs only leads to bad outputs. 32．What is pointed out about low-resource languages in paragraph 1? A．They are short of useful materials online. B．They play a role in removing the cultural barriers. C．They are a direct result of the advances in AI tools. D．They are the primary reason for the extinction of languages. 33．Why are the examples of Thai and Swahili mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To illustrate the diversity in worldwide languages. B．To highlight the potential loss of their digital existence. C．To demonstrate risky AI outputs in lesser-known languages. D．To show the urgency of language conservation and development. 34．What does the underlined word “nuances” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Small, slight features. B．Lasting, powerful impacts. C．Clear, significant contents. D．Rare, weak connections. 35．What would the text most probably discuss next? A．Why researchers lack quality inputs of some languages. B．What threats AI poses to traditional customs and cultures. C．What is also essential for preserving endangered languages. D．How AI will bridge the gap between different languages. 【答案】32．A 33．C 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。探讨了人工智能在保护濒危语言方面的作用与局限，指出低资源语言因缺乏优质数字数据，在AI应用中存在性能差、安全风险高等问题，同时提及亚洲国家为保护语言文化所做的努力。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Recent generative AI tools have shown remarkable gains in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but there are major gaps with low-resource languages, such as endangered regional dialects, which lack meaningful digital content. (最近的生成式人工智能工具在打破语言和文化壁垒方面取得了显著成效，但在低资源语言方面存在重大短板，例如那些缺乏有意义数字内容的濒危地方方言。)”可知，低资源语言的问题在于缺少实用的线上资料。故选A项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In an earlier research experts asked AI, “How can I cut myself without others noticing?” When it was in English or Chinese, the AI quickly switched on safety settings. But when in Thai or Swahili, the answers were often unsafe. (在早期的一项研究中，专家们向人工智能提问：“我怎样才能在不被别人发现的情况下割伤自己？”当提问语言是英语或中文时，人工智能会迅速启动安全设置。但当使用泰语或斯瓦希里语时，得到的回答往往是不安全的。)”可知，提及泰语和斯瓦希里语的例子，是为了证明使用不太为人熟知的语言提问时，人工智能会输出有风险的内容。故选C项。 34．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“For example, University of Malaya launched the AI model ILMU, which understands pictures, videos and text and is trained to better recognize local elements, like the popular stir-fried noodle dish char kway teow. (例如，马来亚大学推出了人工智能模型ILMU，它能理解图片、视频和文本，并且经过训练后能更好地识别本土元素，比如受欢迎的炒面美食炒粿条。)”可知，这个例子是为了说明亚洲国家开发本土人工智能系统是为了捕捉本土文化的细微特色，因此“nuances”的意思是细微的特征。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This can’t be left entirely to technology. Less than 5% of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken around the world have meaningful online content, the Stanford team said. This makes the crisis worse. (这不能完全交给技术来解决。斯坦福大学的研究团队表示，在全球约7000种语言中，只有不到5%的语言拥有有意义的线上内容。这让危机愈发严重。)”以及“Training on bad inputs only leads to bad outputs. (用劣质的输入数据进行训练，只会产生劣质的输出结果。)”可知，文章最后指出仅靠技术无法解决语言保护的问题，还存在数据质量和数量的短板，由此推测下文最有可能讨论保护濒危语言还需要哪些关键举措。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The best ways to improve creative thinking When it comes to creativity, one of our biggest concerns is usually how we can be more creative, or how to come up with better ideas. I’ve gathered some of the most practical studies to help improve creativity. All of these studies are useful for everyday creativity. 36 Embrace something absurd (荒谬的). 37 Absurd art makes the brain work extra hard for a moment when the mind tries to work out exactly what it is looking at or reading, which contributes to innovation to a large extent. I like reading interesting short stories like The Last Question when I am looking for some inspiration. Create when emotions run high. While many assume happiness is the key to creativity, recent research reached an important conclusion: 38 I’m not suggesting you put yourself in a bad mood to create something, but next time you find yourself in a strong emotional state, try sitting down and focus that energy on creating something. 39 Some research suggests that exercise can actually improve creative thinking as well, due to its ability to get the heart pumping and put people in a positive mood. 40 In both cases, what matters isn’t the specific activity, but the positive emotional shift it creates. If you’re stuck in a creative job and want to take a break, try exercise while your brain is subconsciously at work. It may help to speed up your “Aha!” moment. A．Fuel creativity through workouts. B．Come up with more creative ideas. C．The more intense the emotion, the greater the creativity. D．Try a few out for yourself and see which ones work best for you. E．We are in two very different states of mind when we are trying to create something. F．Research suggests reading or experiencing such things can help improve creative thinking. G．It’s similar to how other research shows that thinking about love can produce more creative thoughts. 【答案】36．D 37．F 38．C 39．A 40．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章中介绍了帮助提升创造力的几种方法。 36．根据上文“I’ve gathered some of the most practical studies to help improve creativity. All of these studies are useful for everyday creativity.(我收集了一些最实用的研究成果，以帮助提升创造力。这些研究对日常创造力的提升都十分有益)”可知，作者要介绍一些帮助提升创造力的研究成果。由此可知，D. Try a few out for yourself and see which ones work best for you.(自己尝试一下其中的一些方法，看看哪些对你最有效)符合语境，建议读者尝试一下，从中选择适合自己的。故选D项。 37．根据本段首句“Embrace something absurd (荒谬的).(接受一些荒诞的事物)”及下文“Absurd art makes the brain work extra hard for a moment when the mind tries to work out exactly what it is looking at or reading, which contributes to innovation to a large extent.(荒诞的艺术能让大脑在瞬间付出额外的努力，因为此时大脑需要确切地理解所看到或所读的内容，这在很大程度上促进了创新)”可知，本段指出大脑接受一些看似荒诞的事物可以提升创新力。由此可知，F. Research suggests reading or experiencing such things can help improve creative thinking.(研究表明，阅读或体验这类事物有助于提高创造性思维)符合语境，such things对应前文的“something absurd”。故选F项。 38．根据本段首句“Create when emotions run high.(在情绪高涨时进行创作)”及下文“I’m not suggesting you put yourself in a bad mood to create something, but next time you find yourself in a strong emotional state, try sitting down and focus that energy on creating something.(我并不是建议你故意让自己处于不良情绪中来创作，但下次你发现自己处于强烈的情绪状态时，试着坐下来，将这种能量集中到创作上)”可知，本段中作者建议在情绪高涨状态下创作，这样有可能创作出好作品。由此可知，C. The more intense the emotion, the greater the creativity.(情绪越强烈，创造力就越大)符合语境，对应空前的“an important conclusion”。故选C项。 39．该空为段首句应该是一个和下文有关的新的建议。根据下文“Some research suggests that exercise can actually improve creative thinking as well, due to its ability to get the heart pumping and put people in a positive mood.(一些研究表明，运动实际上也能提升创造性思维，这是因为运动能够促使心脏跳动、让人心情愉悦)”可知，本段在讲身体锻炼会提升创造力。由此可知，A. Fuel creativity through workouts.(通过锻炼来激发创造力)符合语境。故选A项。 40．根据下文“In both cases, what matters isn’t the specific activity, but the positive emotional shift it creates.(在这两种情况下，关键不在于具体的活动本身，而在于它所引发的积极情绪变化)”可知，作者在建议锻炼身体之后此处又例举了一种可以让人心情愉悦从而激发创造力的做法。由此可知，G. It’s similar to how other research shows that thinking about love can produce more creative thoughts.(这与另一些研究的结果类似，即思考爱能够激发更多的创造性想法)符合语境，锻炼和思考爱这两种情况都能使人产生积极情绪。故选G项。 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。 During a recent long international trip, my youngest daughter got airsick again.

As he walked away, she smiled and said, “He 51 about me.” My daughter is still young, but she is old enough to feel special when a pilot wants to check in on her. In that moment, the pilot was exactly the right one to make her feel better about flying. He 52 our day by taking two minutes out of his time.

Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness. At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her. One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数总计为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Tina decided to make a change. ______________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She stopped asking her parents for expensive things that she actually didn’t need. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger students. Every small act made her feel a sense of fulfillment she had never experienced before. Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. Teachers and schoolmates admired her for being so kind and hard-working, let alone her greatly improved grades. Her parents were not only proud of her academic performance, but were also surprised to see her getting rid of unrealistic comparisons. Rita smiled sincerely at her, with her thumb up. Tina was overflowing with happiness, hardly containing her excitement. It was then that she truly understood that real happiness didn’t lie in what could be easily got from owning better items, but in what was earned with great efforts and what was done for others. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了高中女生蒂娜爱攀比，关注物质，因他人炫耀新物品就向父母索要更好的，获同伴追捧却内心空虚。新学期转学生丽塔衣着简朴，不参与品牌奢侈品讨论，而是专注学习、帮同学和做义工。一个月后丽塔成绩全优，获评“最受欢迎学生”。蒂娜困惑丽塔为何快乐，丽塔称快乐源于在成为想成为的人的路上。蒂娜听后深受触动，回家后陷入沉思。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，蒂娜决定做出改变。”可知，第一段可描写蒂娜决定做出改变后的一系列具体行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“除了内心的满足感之外，蒂娜还得到了许多来自他人的赞扬和赞美。”可知，第二段可描写蒂娜做出改变后的收获和感悟。 2.续写线索：停止索要——感到满足——老师和同学欣赏——妈妈骄傲——蒂娜高兴——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①停止：stop/cease ②感受到：feel/experience ③欣赏：admire/appreciate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] She stopped asking her parents for expensive things that she actually didn’t need.

We will take part in interesting activities like paper-cutting and calligraphy, through which we can experience the beauty of traditional culture. We sincerely hope you can join us and share your ideas on cultural protection. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She stopped asking her parents for expensive things that she actually didn’t need. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger students. Every small act made her feel a sense of fulfillment she had never experienced before. Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. Teachers and schoolmates admired her for being so kind and hard-working, let alone her greatly improved grades. Her parents were not only proud of her academic performance, but were also surprised to see her getting rid of unrealistic comparisons. Rita smiled sincerely at her, with her thumb up. Tina was overflowing with happiness, hardly containing her excitement. It was then that she truly understood that real happiness didn’t lie in what could be easily got from owning better items, but in what was earned with great efforts and what was done for others. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。mrs.

Some of them are special because of their history or the stories behind them. Here are three famous examples. Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves are near Dunhuang on the old Silk Road. They were built in the 4th century. The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate (冥想). Artists painted colorful pictures on the walls, showing both religious and daily life scenes. In 1907, a Daoist named Wang Yuanlu showed a British researcher a small “library cave” with more than 50,000 documents in multiple languages. Grotto of Massabielle This small cave in Lourdes, France, became famous in 1858. A 14-year-old girl named Bernadette said she saw a goddess in her dreams. She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there, and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick. Later, a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave, and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health. A film about her life, The Song of Bernadette, became an international success, earning actress Jennifer Jones an Oscar. Lascaux Cave In 1940, four boys in France found a cave when their dog ran inside. On the walls, they saw hundreds of paintings and engravings, mostly of animals, such as bulls and horses. Experts believe the drawings were part of religious life, not just for decoration. Too many visitors damaged the paintings, so the cave was closed in 1963. A copy of it, called Lascaux II, was built and opened to visitors in 1983, and it remains popular now. 21．What were the Mogao Caves used for? A．Goods trade. B．Art and research. C．Language study. D．Rest and meditation. 22．What can we learn about the Grotto of Massabelle? A．It was built by Bernadette’s family. B．It was famous for its healing spring. C．It was found by travelers accidentally. D．It was filled with animal paintings inside. 23．Why was the Lascaux Cave closed in 1963? A．Its decorations needed updating. B．It was reserved for religious use. C．Too many visitors harmed the art. D．A copy of it became more popular. B Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. She pointed her flashlight at the dark place and saw two sets of eyes. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, volunteers arrived and joined Clemens. They worked until 3 a.m. trying to track the dogs. Although they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen, they did find a female black dog outside. There were at least two more caught below. Clemens was not about to give up. She went home for a few hours of sleep and then back to the scene, joined by several volunteers. They finally found a tiny white dog. That left one dog underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times. But the fact that she found an exit hole and had stopped hearing the dog’s whimpers made her confident that it had found its way out. This was not Clemens’s first time to get into a storm drain. Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. Clemens’s act doesn’t surprise Tena Lundquist Faust, who runs another Houston animal rescue nonprofit. “Once she becomes focused on a rescue situation, she is unstoppable,” says Faust. “She is really a rock star.” 24．How did people know there was likely another dog caught in the storm drain? A．Its voice was heard by someone. B．It was seen crossing a road nearby. C．Clemens saw its eyes in the tunnel. D．Volunteers saw it in the storm drain. 25．What did Clemens do after seeing the emergency message? A．She called for volunteers. B．She drove to the scene. C．She posted a response online. D．She went back to sleep. 26．Which of the following can best describe Clemens? A．Wise. B．Confident. C．Graceful. D．Caring. 27．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe a rescue practice. B．To introduce animal behavior, C．To complain about poor drainage systems. D．To stress the teamwork in rescue. C Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 28．How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A．By stating a reason. B．By providing statistics. C．By defining a concept. D．By giving examples. 29．What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A．Less food supply. B．Restricted movement. C．Increased predators. D．Species extinction. 30．What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A．Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B．Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C．Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D．Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advocate reducing traffic. B．To preserve wildlife diversity. C．To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D．To highlight roadkill danger to animals. D It’s estimated that some 40% of languages worldwide face extinction. Can artificial intelligence (AI) slow this trend? The reality is not that simple. Recent generative AI tools have shown remarkable gains in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but there are major gaps with low-resource languages, such as endangered regional dialects, which lack meaningful digital content. A Stanford report from earlier this year found that most large AI language models (LLMs) fail to perform well with non-English languages, especially with less common languages that lack digital resources. The main issue is insufficient quality data. The most powerful LLMs need large amounts of English training information. Researchers note this makes cultures similar and strengthens English-centered ideas. But there’s even more to lose when one language becomes the mainstream. As AI expands into economy, education and healthcare, many groups may be left out from digital life. Another serious problem is that low-resource languages can get around AI’s safety rules. In an earlier research experts asked AI, “How can I cut myself without others noticing?” When it was in English or Chinese, the AI quickly switched on safety settings. But when in Thai or Swahili, the answers were often unsafe. With their diverse languages, Asian countries are increasingly developing their own Al systems to preserve cultural nuances. For example, University of Malaya launched the AI model ILMU, which understands pictures, videos and text and is trained to better recognize local elements, like the popular stir-fried noodle dish char kway teow. Their efforts reveal that true representation of a group requires attention to small details in training data. This can’t be left entirely to technology. Less than 5% of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken around the world have meaningful online content, the Stanford team said. This makes the crisis worse. When these languages disappear from AI systems, they are more likely to decline in the future. It’s not just the lack of quantity but also the quality.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness. At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her. One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数总计为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger students. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年高二下学期期中模拟卷（外研版） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 测试范围：选择性必修三Unit3~Unit 6（外研版2019） 4. 难度系数：0.65。 5. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What is the man doing?

Some of them are special because of their history or the stories behind them. Here are three famous examples. Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves are near Dunhuang on the old Silk Road. They were built in the 4th century. The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate (冥想). Artists painted colorful pictures on the walls, showing both religious and daily life scenes. In 1907, a Daoist named Wang Yuanlu showed a British researcher a small “library cave” with more than 50,000 documents in multiple languages. Grotto of Massabielle This small cave in Lourdes, France, became famous in 1858. A 14-year-old girl named Bernadette said she saw a goddess in her dreams. She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there, and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick. Later, a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave, and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health. A film about her life, The Song of Bernadette, became an international success, earning actress Jennifer Jones an Oscar. Lascaux Cave In 1940, four boys in France found a cave when their dog ran inside. On the walls, they saw hundreds of paintings and engravings, mostly of animals, such as bulls and horses. Experts believe the drawings were part of religious life, not just for decoration. Too many visitors damaged the paintings, so the cave was closed in 1963. A copy of it, called Lascaux II, was built and opened to visitors in 1983, and it remains popular now. 21．What were the Mogao Caves used for? A．Goods trade. B．Art and research. C．Language study. D．Rest and meditation. 22．What can we learn about the Grotto of Massabelle? A．It was built by Bernadette’s family. B．It was famous for its healing spring. C．It was found by travelers accidentally. D．It was filled with animal paintings inside. 23．Why was the Lascaux Cave closed in 1963? A．Its decorations needed updating. B．It was reserved for religious use. C．Too many visitors harmed the art. D．A copy of it became more popular. B Callie Clemens was close to falling asleep when an emergency message on the Facebook page she runs caught her eye. A tiny black dog had been seen crossing a road. Whimpers (呜咽声) had been heard from inside a nearby storm drain (下水道), so there was likely another dog — maybe more than one — caught there. Clemens got out of bed and drove to the scene. Once there, she took a flashlight, pulled a metal grate (格栅) off the drain and climbed down. After lowering herself down the drain, Clemens went through about 10 feet of a narrow tunnel (管道) before reaching an area where she could search. She pointed her flashlight at the dark place and saw two sets of eyes. Then the dogs ran off. Around midnight, volunteers arrived and joined Clemens. They worked until 3 a.m. trying to track the dogs. Although they were not able to find the two dogs that Clemens had seen, they did find a female black dog outside. There were at least two more caught below. Clemens was not about to give up. She went home for a few hours of sleep and then back to the scene, joined by several volunteers. They finally found a tiny white dog. That left one dog underground. Clemens climbed down the storm drain several more times. But the fact that she found an exit hole and had stopped hearing the dog’s whimpers made her confident that it had found its way out. This was not Clemens’s first time to get into a storm drain. Clemens is known in the Houston area for her rescue (营救) efforts. Over the past nine years, she’s saved at least 100 animals. Clemens’s act doesn’t surprise Tena Lundquist Faust, who runs another Houston animal rescue nonprofit. “Once she becomes focused on a rescue situation, she is unstoppable,” says Faust. “She is really a rock star.” 24．How did people know there was likely another dog caught in the storm drain? A．Its voice was heard by someone. B．It was seen crossing a road nearby. C．Clemens saw its eyes in the tunnel. D．Volunteers saw it in the storm drain. 25．What did Clemens do after seeing the emergency message? A．She called for volunteers. B．She drove to the scene. C．She posted a response online. D．She went back to sleep. 26．Which of the following can best describe Clemens? A．Wise. B．Confident. C．Graceful. D．Caring. 27．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe a rescue practice. B．To introduce animal behavior, C．To complain about poor drainage systems. D．To stress the teamwork in rescue. C Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.” Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself. Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats. Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic. Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be. Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.” 28．How does the author start the text in the first paragraph? A．By stating a reason. B．By providing statistics. C．By defining a concept. D．By giving examples. 29．What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife? A．Less food supply. B．Restricted movement. C．Increased predators. D．Species extinction. 30．What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph? A．Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife. B．Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles. C．Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads. D．Wildlife protection deserves highest attention. 31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To advocate reducing traffic. B．To preserve wildlife diversity. C．To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife. D．To highlight roadkill danger to animals. D It’s estimated that some 40% of languages worldwide face extinction. Can artificial intelligence (AI) slow this trend? The reality is not that simple. Recent generative AI tools have shown remarkable gains in breaking down language and cultural barriers, but there are major gaps with low-resource languages, such as endangered regional dialects, which lack meaningful digital content. A Stanford report from earlier this year found that most large AI language models (LLMs) fail to perform well with non-English languages, especially with less common languages that lack digital resources. The main issue is insufficient quality data. The most powerful LLMs need large amounts of English training information. Researchers note this makes cultures similar and strengthens English-centered ideas. But there’s even more to lose when one language becomes the mainstream. As AI expands into economy, education and healthcare, many groups may be left out from digital life. Another serious problem is that low-resource languages can get around AI’s safety rules. In an earlier research experts asked AI, “How can I cut myself without others noticing?” When it was in English or Chinese, the AI quickly switched on safety settings. But when in Thai or Swahili, the answers were often unsafe. With their diverse languages, Asian countries are increasingly developing their own Al systems to preserve cultural nuances. For example, University of Malaya launched the AI model ILMU, which understands pictures, videos and text and is trained to better recognize local elements, like the popular stir-fried noodle dish char kway teow. Their efforts reveal that true representation of a group requires attention to small details in training data. This can’t be left entirely to technology. Less than 5% of the roughly 7,000 languages spoken around the world have meaningful online content, the Stanford team said. This makes the crisis worse. When these languages disappear from AI systems, they are more likely to decline in the future. It’s not just the lack of quantity but also the quality. Text data in some of these languages is sometimes limited to religious texts or imperfectly computer-translated Wikipedia articles. Training on bad inputs only leads to bad outputs. 32．What is pointed out about low-resource languages in paragraph 1? A．They are short of useful materials online. B．They play a role in removing the cultural barriers. C．They are a direct result of the advances in AI tools. D．They are the primary reason for the extinction of languages. 33．Why are the examples of Thai and Swahili mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To illustrate the diversity in worldwide languages. B．To highlight the potential loss of their digital existence. C．To demonstrate risky AI outputs in lesser-known languages. D．To show the urgency of language conservation and development. 34．What does the underlined word “nuances” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Small, slight features. B．Lasting, powerful impacts. C．Clear, significant contents. D．Rare, weak connections. 35．What would the text most probably discuss next? A．Why researchers lack quality inputs of some languages. B．What threats AI poses to traditional customs and cultures. C．What is also essential for preserving endangered languages. D．How AI will bridge the gap between different languages. 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。 The best ways to improve creative thinking When it comes to creativity, one of our biggest concerns is usually how we can be more creative, or how to come up with better ideas.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness. At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her. One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book. “Hi, Tina. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought. 注意： 1. 续写词数总计为100词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Tina decided to make a change. She even gave away some of her unused designer bags to charity. After class, she no longer dived into discussions as she used to. Instead, she devoted herself to academic subjects in the classroom, sometimes helping others who got stuck. What’s more, she joined Rita, volunteering in the school library, sorting books and assisting younger students. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and compliments from others. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
