As the film-makers discover, there is no away. Plastic breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces that end up on beaches, or mistakenly eaten by animals. Craig Leeson, an award-winning journalist, teams up with Tanya Streeter, a world champion freediver. Together, they create a film that combines adventure, travel and science. Kids get to learn how everyday choices affect the health of our oceans Run time: 1 hour, 42 minutes Deep Sea Shot by legendary videographers Howard and Michelle Hall, Deep Sea features the greatest hits of the underwater world. These include turtles, sharks and whales. Kids learn about interdependence among marine (海洋) life, and why humans need healthy oceans. One reviewer said, “This video features a wide variety of sea life, my three-year-old never gets tired of watching it. As an adult, I am amazed at how many different species they show... and it is very informative... great for family time, educating children/students, etc.” Run time: 40 minutes The Blue Planet and Blue Planet Ⅱ It’s a bit of a cheat to pick both Blue Planet programs, but they’re both outstandingly good. Each hour-long episode features incredible underwater footage (片段) and a key message about the importance of conservation. Some episodes featuring otherworldly-looking creatures are often a favorite with older kids However, some of these may be a little too frightening for little ones. Run time: 50-60 min per episode Shark with Steve Backshall Taking part in conservation can be as simple as inspiring those around you to question what they think they already know. Few animals are as widely misunderstood as sharks. In Shark with Steve Backshall, naturalist Steve Backshall travels around the globe to meet numerous shark species. He shows the audience the real nature of sharks and inspires viewers to get on board with protecting these misunderstood ocean animals. Run time: 45 min per episode 1. What do A Plastic Ocean and The Blue Planet series have in common? A. They involve ocean protection. B. They have the same run time. C. They are shot by the same director. D. They document shark species. 2. Which of the following attracts both kids and adults? A. A Plastic Ocean. B. Deep sea. C. The Blue Planet and Blue Planet Ⅱ. D. Shark with Steve Backshall. 3. What can be learned about Shark with Steve Backshall? A. It is shot by a famous naturalist. B. It is popular among older kids. C. It encourages people to do sea explorations. D. It helps clear up misunderstandings about sharks. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了适合孩子们观看的四部海洋题材的纪录片。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Plastic Ocean部分“Kids get to learn how everyday choices affect the health of our oceans.(孩子们能了解日常选择如何影响海洋健康)”以及The Blue Planet and Blue Planet Ⅱ部分“Each hour-long episode features incredible underwater footage (片段) and a key message about the importance of conservation. (每集时长一小时，都有令人难以置信的水下镜头和关于保护重要性的核心信息)”可知，二者都涉及海洋保护。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Deep Sea部分“One reviewer said, “This video features a wide variety of sea life, my three-year-old never gets tired of watching it. As an adult, I am amazed at how many different species they show... and it is very informative... great for family time, educating children/students, etc.”(一位评论者说：“这段视频展示了各种各样的海洋生物，我三岁的孩子永远不会厌倦观看。作为一名成年人，我惊讶于它们展示了多少不同的物种……而且它非常有信息量……非常适合家庭时间、教育儿童/学生等。”)”可知，Deep Sea同时吸引孩子和成人。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shark with Steve Backshall部分“Few animals are as widely misunderstood as sharks.(很少有动物像鲨鱼一样被广泛误解)”以及“He shows the audience the real nature of sharks and inspires viewers to get on board with protecting these misunderstood ocean animals.(他向观众展示了鲨鱼的真实本性，并激励观众加入保护这些被误解的海洋动物的行列)”可知，它有助于消除对鲨鱼的误解。故选D。 B The groundhog (土拨鼠) has been considered a weather prophet (预言家) for many years in north America. According to legend, all winter long the furry brown groundhog sleeps in his comfortable underground home, or hole. On February 2, he wakes up. The groundhog is very hungry and comes out to search for food. If the sun is shinning, the groundhog will see his own shadow. The sight of his shadow gives him such a fright that he quickly returns to his hole. This event means that spring will not come for six more weeks. If the sun is not shining, there will be no shadow. The groundhog will not be scared and he will stay outside his hole. Spring will come very soon. The idea that animals could foretell the weather probably began in ancient Europe. At the time, most of the people were farmers and the weather was very important to them. If spring came early they could begin the planting season early and have an early harvest. They found some animals were good weather prophets. On February 2, when they celebrated Candlemas Day, a religious holiday around the time winter ends, all the people watched for an animal leaving its hole. In Germany, farmers watched for a badge. In England farmers looked for a hedgehog (刺猬). They believed the animals could foretell the weather for the next six weeks. When the early settlers came to North America there no badgers or hedgehogs near their homes. The farmers did not know when to plant their crops. In time they discovered an animal that left its hole at the end of winter. That animal was the groundhog, also called a woodchuck or a marmot. Every February 2 they watched for a groundhog. Finally, the day came to be called “Groundhog Day”. Many groundhog-watching clubs were formed. The members sometimes dressed in nightshirts and top hats made of silk. They would go to the hills in the dark morning and wait near a groundhog hole. Sometimes the groundhog-watching clubs would have other types of celebrations 4. Which of the following will frighten a groundhog according to Paragraph 1? A. His own shadow B. The shining sun C. The coming spring D. His underground home 5. According to legend, if it is cloudy on February 2, _____ . A. spring will come in March B. winter will end in a short time C. the groundhog will go on sleeping D. the groundhog will refuse to go out 6. Why did ancient Europeans watch for animals on Candlemas Day? A. To amuse themselves. B. To protect their harvest. C. To say goodbye to winter. D. To know when to plant crops. 7. The early North American settlers ____ . A. wore formal clothes on Groundhog Day B. tried to catch groundhogs near their homes C. regarded the groundhog as a weather prophet D. mistook groundhogs for badgers or hedgehogs 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍北美土拨鼠日的传说、起源及相关习俗，解释人们为何将土拨鼠视为天气预言家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If the sun is shinning, the groundhog will see his own shadow. The sight of his shadow gives him such a fright that he quickly returns to his hole.(如果阳光明媚，土拨鼠会看到自己的影子。看到影子它会非常害怕，迅速回到洞里。)”可知，土拨鼠会被自己的影子吓到。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If the sun is not shining, there will be no shadow. The groundhog will not be scared and he will stay outside his hole. Spring will come very soon.(如果太阳不照耀，就不会有影子。土拨鼠不会害怕，会待在洞外。春天很快就会到来。)”可知，如果2月2日是阴天，冬天很快就会结束。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“At the time, most of the people were farmers and the weather was very important to them. If spring came early they could begin the planting season early and have an early harvest. They found some animals were good weather prophets. On February 2, when they celebrated Candlemas Day, a religious holiday around the time winter ends, all the people watched for an animal leaving its hole.(那时，大多数人是农民，天气对他们来说非常重要。如果春天来得早，他们可以早点开始种植，提早收获。他们发现有些动物是优秀的天气预言家。2月2日，他们在庆祝圣烛节——一个临近冬季结束的宗教节日——时，所有人都留意动物出洞的情况。)”可知，古代欧洲人在圣烛节留意动物是为了知道何时种植庄稼。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When the early settlers came to North America there no badgers or hedgehogs near their homes. The farmers did not know when to plant their crops. In time they discovered an animal that left its hole at the end of winter. That animal was the groundhog, also called a woodchuck or a marmot. Every February 2 they watched for a groundhog.(早期移民来到北美时，他们家附近没有獾和刺猬。农民们不知道何时种植庄稼。久而久之，他们发现了一种在冬末出洞的动物。那就是土拨鼠，也叫旱獭或土拨鼠。每年2月2日，他们都会留意土拨鼠。)”可知，早期北美移民将土拨鼠视为天气预言家。故选C项。 C Today, the widespread ability to use Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in online retail is transforming how consumers pay for purchases. Rather than relying on traditional payment methods, consumers are increasingly using BNPL services to spread payments across interest-free installments (免息分期付款). In new research, we found that BNPL adoption led to immediate and substantial increases in spending. Consumers who adopted BNPL were more likely to purchase, with purchase probability increasing from 17% to 26%. Furthermore, when adopting consumers made purchases, their basket sizes were 10% larger on average than before the introduction of BNPL. Furthermore, the data also reveals a significant aspect of BNPL’s influence on consumer spending patterns. In subsequent tracking studies, it was observed that these increases in spending were not transitory: They lasted for close to six months, showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending. To understand how BNPL increases spending, we conducted experiments and found that participants who paid in installments felt less financially constrained (财务受限) than those who paid in full. BNPL’s ability to divide payments into smaller amounts gives consumers a sense of better control over their budget. Smaller payments seemed more manageable, even when larger payments were delayed. Additionally, the smaller amounts made consumers feel the cost was less important, encouraging them to add more items to their purchases. At first glance, BNPL may seem like a win-win for both sellers and consumers. However, our findings suggest that sellers are most likely to see increased spending from financially constrained consumers who rely on credit cards. Given that BNPL can encourage overborrowing and lead to financial pressure, it’s important to be careful about who is offered BNPL and how much they can use. Like a tempting dessert, BNPL can seem appealing short-term but carries risks if overused, leading to a financial “sugar crash”. 8. What do we know about BNPL? A. It boosts consumer spending. B. It involves high-interest fees. C. It raises the price of products. D. It sets up a minimum purchase. 9. What does the underlined word “transitory” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Rapid. B. Fixed. C. Temporary. D. Permanent. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Ways of using BNPL services. B. BNPL’s influence on consumers. C. Disadvantages of paying in installments. D. A comparison of different payment methods. 11. Why does the author mention “tempting dessert” in the last paragraph? A. To urge people to stop using BNPL. B. To show the wide application of BNPL. C. To state the benefits of BNPL for sellers. D. To warn people to be cautious about BNPL. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕“先买后付（BNPL）”服务展开，介绍其对消费者支出的影响、作用机制及潜在风险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In new research, we found that BNPL adoption led to immediate and substantial increases in spending. (在新的研究中，我们发现BNPL的采用立即导致了支出的显著增加。)” 以及第三段中“They lasted for close to six months, showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending.(这些支出增长持续了近6个月，表明BNPL推动了消费者支出的持续增长，而非短期增长。)”可知，BNPL会促进消费者支出。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“In subsequent tracking studies, it was observed that these increases in spending were not transitory: They lasted for close to six months, showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending.(在随后的跟踪研究中，观察到这些支出增长并非transitory：它们持续了近六个月，表明 BNPL 驱动了消费者支出的持续增长，而非短期增长。)”可知，句中not transitory与lasted for close to six months、lasting gains呼应，说明增长不是短期的，因此transitory意为“暂时的”。故选C。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“To understand how BNPL increases spending, we conducted experiments and found that participants who paid in installments felt less financially constrained (财务受限) than those who paid in full. BNPL’s ability to divide payments into smaller amounts gives consumers a sense of better control over their budget. Smaller payments seemed more manageable, even when larger payments were delayed. Additionally, the smaller amounts made consumers feel the cost was less important, encouraging them to add more items to their purchases.(为了理解 BNPL 如何增加支出，我们进行了实验，发现分期支付的参与者比全额支付的参与者感受到的财务压力更小。BNPL 能够将支付分割成更小的金额，这让消费者对自己的预算有了更好的控制感。即使大额支付被推迟，小额支付似乎也更容易管理。此外，小额支付让消费者觉得成本不那么重要，鼓励他们在购买中添加更多物品。)”可知，本段主要阐述了BNPL对消费者的影响（如减少财务约束感、促进多购物等）。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段中“Like a tempting dessert, BNPL can seem appealing short-term but carries risks if overused, leading to a financial ‘sugar crash’.(就像诱人的甜点一样，先买后付短期内可能看起来很有吸引力，但如果过度使用就会带来风险，导致财务上的“糖崩溃”)”，通过“诱人的甜点”类比 BNPL，说明其虽有吸引力但过度使用有风险，目的是警告人们要谨慎使用BNPL。故选D。 D Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, millions of people have started using large language models (LLMs) to access knowledge. It’s easy to understand their appeal: Ask a question, receive a polished answer, and move on — it feels like effortless learning. However, a new study offers experimental evidence that this ease may come at a cost. In the study, participants were asked to learn about a topic, such as how to grow a vegetable garden, using either an LLM like ChatGPT or a traditional web search, and then to write advice based on what they learned. The results showed that LLM users felt that they learned less, invested less effort, and wrote shorter, less factual, and more general advice. When the advice was presented to independent readers unaware of the tool used, they found it less informative and less helpful, and were less likely to adopt it. Why does using LLMs seem to weaken learning? One of the most fundamental principles of skill development is that people learn best when they are actively engaged with the material they are trying to learn. When we learn about a topic through a web search, we face much more “friction” (阻力): we must explore different web links, read various sources, and interpret and process the information ourselves. While more challenging, this friction helps form a deeper, more original mental representation of the topic. But with LLMs, this entire process is handled on the user’s behalf, transforming learning from an active to a passive process. However, researchers argue that the solution is not to avoid using LLMs, especially given the undeniable benefits they offer in many contexts. Instead, they suggest that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs, which starts by understanding the situations in which LLMs are beneficial or harmful to their goals. Need a quick, factual answer to a question? Feel free to use your AI assistant. But if you aim to develop deep and generalizable knowledge in an area, relying on LLMs alone will be less helpful. 12. What did the research find about LLM-assisted learning? A. It made concepts easier to master. B. It led to a shallower understanding. C. It helped generate more creative ideas. D. It lowered the desire to explore knowledge. 13. What makes web search outperform LLMs according to paragraph 3? A. It offers quick access to diverse sources. B. It guarantees the high accuracy of materials. C. It provides users with real-time updates of information. D. It forces users to actively engage in the learning process. 14. What do researchers suggest? A. Applying LLMs based on specific goals. B. Controlling the time spent on LLMs. C. Using multiple LLMs for learning. D. Assigning complex tasks to LLMs. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To highlight the value of web search. B. To criticize the overuse of AI in education. C. To guide how to use LLMs for deep learning. D. To explain how LLMs impact learning outcomes. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨大语言模型辅助学习的弊端，分析其导致浅层学习的原因，并给出结合学习目标合理使用该模型的建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The results showed that LLM users felt that they learned less, invested less effort, and wrote shorter, less factual, and more general advice. When the advice was presented to independent readers unaware of the tool used, they found it less informative and less helpful, and were less likely to adopt it.(研究结果显示，大语言模型使用者觉得自己学到的东西更少，投入的努力更少，写出的建议更简短、真实性更低且更笼统。当这些建议呈现给不知道所用工具的独立读者时，读者认为其信息量更少、帮助性更低，也更不愿意采纳。)”可知，大语言模型辅助学习会让使用者的学习效果变差，形成对知识更浅层的理解。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When we learn about a topic through a web search, we face much more “friction” (阻力): we must explore different web links, read various sources, and interpret and process the information ourselves. While more challenging, this friction helps form a deeper, more original mental representation of the topic.(当我们通过网络搜索学习一个主题时，会面临更多的“阻力”：我们必须浏览不同的网络链接，阅读各种信息来源，并自行解读和处理信息。尽管更具挑战性，但这种阻力有助于形成对该主题更深入、更独特的心理认知。)”可知，网络搜索优于大语言模型的原因是其会迫使使用者主动参与到探索、解读和处理信息的学习过程中。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Instead, they suggest that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs, which starts by understanding the situations in which LLMs are beneficial or harmful to their goals.(相反，研究人员建议人们只需成为更明智、更有策略的大语言模型使用者，首先要弄清楚在哪些情况下大语言模型对自己的目标有益或有害。)”可知，研究人员建议人们根据具体的学习目标来合理运用大语言模型。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However, a new study offers experimental evidence that this ease may come at a cost.(然而，一项新的研究提供了实验证据，证明这种便捷可能是有代价的。)”，第二段的研究结果，第三段对大语言模型影响学习效果原因的分析以及第四段的使用建议可知，本文的写作目的是阐释大语言模型是如何影响学习效果的，包括带来的弊端及背后的原因。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When friends have problems that seem never-ending, you can sense that hopelessness.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand, noticed the young girl and asked,“Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh yes... but I don’t have money on me,” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in. ” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled. “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. The scene of her mother anxiously pacing back and forth outside the house flashed through her mind, making her heart ache. She raised her hand to knock on the door, but hesitated for a moment. Memories flooded in: how her mother would tuck her in at night, how she would patiently wait for her to come home from school every day, and how she would prepare her favorite meals without complaint. ‌“I was so stupid,” she murmured to herself, tears welling up again. Finally, she mustered up the courage and knocked on the door. A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She looked up and saw her mother’s worried yet relieved face. Her mother’s eyes were red, and there were faint traces of tears on her cheeks. ‌“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” her mother said, her voice trembling with emotion. Jenny threw herself into her mother’s arms, sobbing, ‌“Mum, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have quarreled with you and run out of the house. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me.” Her mother patted her back gently, saying, ‌“Silly girl, I’m the one who should be sorry. I shouldn’t have scolded you so harshly.” In that warm embrace, Jenny realized that her mother’s love was the most precious gift in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物情绪变化为线索展开，讲述Jenny因和母亲吵架离家，得到陌生人一碗面的帮助后，在陌生人的点醒下，意识到母亲的付出，决心回家道歉。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“快到门口时，珍妮深吸了一口气。”可知，第一段可描写Jenny在门口回忆母亲的付出，内心充满愧疚，最终鼓起勇气敲门的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个温柔的触碰落在她的头发上，把她的思绪拉了回来。”可知，第二段可描写母亲开门后，两人的互动，Jenny道歉，母亲表达担忧，母女和解的场景。 2. 续写线索：门口愧疚回忆——鼓起勇气敲门——母亲开门显担忧——Jenny道歉——母女拥抱和解 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①敲门：knock on the door/rap on the door ②低语：murmur/whisper ③拍：pat/tap 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitate/waver ②担忧的：worried/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] The scene of her mother anxiously pacing back and forth outside the house flashed through her mind, making her heart ache.(运用了现在分词making作结果状语) [高分句型2] I’m so grateful for everything you’ve done for me.(运用了省略关系代词that限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] In that warm embrace, Jenny realized that her mother’s love was the most precious gift in the world.(运用了连词that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年下学期高一期末考试试题 英语A卷 本试卷由试题卷和答题卡两部分组成，满分150分，考试用时120分钟。考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

As the film-makers discover, there is no away. Plastic breaks up into smaller and smaller pieces that end up on beaches, or mistakenly eaten by animals. Craig Leeson, an award-winning journalist, teams up with Tanya Streeter, a world champion freediver. Together, they create a film that combines adventure, travel and science.

According to legend, all winter long the furry brown groundhog sleeps in his comfortable underground home, or hole. On February 2, he wakes up. The groundhog is very hungry and comes out to search for food. If the sun is shinning, the groundhog will see his own shadow. The sight of his shadow gives him such a fright that he quickly returns to his hole. This event means that spring will not come for six more weeks. If the sun is not shining, there will be no shadow. The groundhog will not be scared and he will stay outside his hole. Spring will come very soon. The idea that animals could foretell the weather probably began in ancient Europe. At the time, most of the people were farmers and the weather was very important to them. If spring came early they could begin the planting season early and have an early harvest. They found some animals were good weather prophets. On February 2, when they celebrated Candlemas Day, a religious holiday around the time winter ends, all the people watched for an animal leaving its hole. In Germany, farmers watched for a badge. In England farmers looked for a hedgehog (刺猬). They believed the animals could foretell the weather for the next six weeks. When the early settlers came to North America there no badgers or hedgehogs near their homes. The farmers did not know when to plant their crops. In time they discovered an animal that left its hole at the end of winter. That animal was the groundhog, also called a woodchuck or a marmot. Every February 2 they watched for a groundhog. Finally, the day came to be called “Groundhog Day”. Many groundhog-watching clubs were formed. The members sometimes dressed in nightshirts and top hats made of silk. They would go to the hills in the dark morning and wait near a groundhog hole. Sometimes the groundhog-watching clubs would have other types of celebrations 4. Which of the following will frighten a groundhog according to Paragraph 1? A. His own shadow B. The shining sun C. The coming spring D. His underground home 5. According to legend, if it is cloudy on February 2, _____ . A. spring will come in March B. winter will end in a short time C. the groundhog will go on sleeping D. the groundhog will refuse to go out 6. Why did ancient Europeans watch for animals on Candlemas Day? A. To amuse themselves. B. To protect their harvest. C. To say goodbye to winter. D. To know when to plant crops. 7. The early North American settlers ____ . A. wore formal clothes on Groundhog Day B. tried to catch groundhogs near their homes C. regarded the groundhog as a weather prophet D. mistook groundhogs for badgers or hedgehogs C Today, the widespread ability to use Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in online retail is transforming how consumers pay for purchases. Rather than relying on traditional payment methods, consumers are increasingly using BNPL services to spread payments across interest-free installments (免息分期付款). In new research, we found that BNPL adoption led to immediate and substantial increases in spending. Consumers who adopted BNPL were more likely to purchase, with purchase probability increasing from 17% to 26%. Furthermore, when adopting consumers made purchases, their basket sizes were 10% larger on average than before the introduction of BNPL. Furthermore, the data also reveals a significant aspect of BNPL’s influence on consumer spending patterns. In subsequent tracking studies, it was observed that these increases in spending were not transitory: They lasted for close to six months, showing that BNPL drives lasting gains rather than short-term rises in consumer spending. To understand how BNPL increases spending, we conducted experiments and found that participants who paid in installments felt less financially constrained (财务受限) than those who paid in full. BNPL’s ability to divide payments into smaller amounts gives consumers a sense of better control over their budget. Smaller payments seemed more manageable, even when larger payments were delayed. Additionally, the smaller amounts made consumers feel the cost was less important, encouraging them to add more items to their purchases. At first glance, BNPL may seem like a win-win for both sellers and consumers. However, our findings suggest that sellers are most likely to see increased spending from financially constrained consumers who rely on credit cards. Given that BNPL can encourage overborrowing and lead to financial pressure, it’s important to be careful about who is offered BNPL and how much they can use. Like a tempting dessert, BNPL can seem appealing short-term but carries risks if overused, leading to a financial “sugar crash”. 8. What do we know about BNPL? A. It boosts consumer spending. B. It involves high-interest fees. C. It raises the price of products. D. It sets up a minimum purchase. 9. What does the underlined word “transitory” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Rapid. B. Fixed. C. Temporary. D. Permanent. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Ways of using BNPL services. B. BNPL’s influence on consumers. C. Disadvantages of paying in installments. D. A comparison of different payment methods. 11. Why does the author mention “tempting dessert” in the last paragraph? A. To urge people to stop using BNPL. B. To show the wide application of BNPL. C. To state the benefits of BNPL for sellers. D. To warn people to be cautious about BNPL. D Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, millions of people have started using large language models (LLMs) to access knowledge. It’s easy to understand their appeal: Ask a question, receive a polished answer, and move on — it feels like effortless learning. However, a new study offers experimental evidence that this ease may come at a cost. In the study, participants were asked to learn about a topic, such as how to grow a vegetable garden, using either an LLM like ChatGPT or a traditional web search, and then to write advice based on what they learned. The results showed that LLM users felt that they learned less, invested less effort, and wrote shorter, less factual, and more general advice. When the advice was presented to independent readers unaware of the tool used, they found it less informative and less helpful, and were less likely to adopt it. Why does using LLMs seem to weaken learning? One of the most fundamental principles of skill development is that people learn best when they are actively engaged with the material they are trying to learn. When we learn about a topic through a web search, we face much more “friction” (阻力): we must explore different web links, read various sources, and interpret and process the information ourselves. While more challenging, this friction helps form a deeper, more original mental representation of the topic. But with LLMs, this entire process is handled on the user’s behalf, transforming learning from an active to a passive process. However, researchers argue that the solution is not to avoid using LLMs, especially given the undeniable benefits they offer in many contexts. Instead, they suggest that people simply need to become smarter or more strategic users of LLMs, which starts by understanding the situations in which LLMs are beneficial or harmful to their goals. Need a quick, factual answer to a question? Feel free to use your AI assistant. But if you aim to develop deep and generalizable knowledge in an area, relying on LLMs alone will be less helpful. 12. What did the research find about LLM-assisted learning? A. It made concepts easier to master. B. It led to a shallower understanding. C. It helped generate more creative ideas. D. It lowered the desire to explore knowledge. 13. What makes web search outperform LLMs according to paragraph 3? A. It offers quick access to diverse sources. B. It guarantees the high accuracy of materials. C. It provides users with real-time updates of information. D. It forces users to actively engage in the learning process. 14. What do researchers suggest? A. Applying LLMs based on specific goals. B. Controlling the time spent on LLMs. C. Using multiple LLMs for learning. D. Assigning complex tasks to LLMs. 15. What is the purpose of the text? A. To highlight the value of web search. B. To criticize the overuse of AI in education. C. To guide how to use LLMs for deep learning. D. To explain how LLMs impact learning outcomes. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When friends have problems that seem never-ending, you can sense that hopelessness.

She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn’t help weeping when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave. The seller behind the stand, noticed the young girl and asked,“Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh yes... but I don’t have money on me,” she replied. “That’s nothing. I’ll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in. ” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, whose smell was so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled. “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you remember the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude to her?” Jenny sat there speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.” On the way home Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Nearing the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
