At the age of 7, Suzanne Heywood, formerly known as Suzanne Cook, embarked on a yacht (游艇) called Wavewalker with her parents and younger brother Jonathan, beneath an endless stretch of blue ocean. What was intended to be a 3-year voyage to retrace Captain Cook’s third circumnavigation evolved into a nearly 10-year harrowing ordeal that would permanently shape her life. This extraordinary, tough experience later became the subject of her best-selling memoir (回忆录) Wavewalker: Breaking Free, published in 2023.
The journey set off from Plymouth, England, in 1976. Her parents, determined to mark the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook’s third voyage, resigned from their jobs, sold their house, and took their children on the recreated journey. Yet catastrophe struck unexpectedly — the voyage turned out far more dangerous than expected. One terrible morning, 13-meter-high waves slammed into the yacht, destroying the deck and flooding the cabin with seawater. Stranded (使滞留) and short of supplies, Suzanne was injured several times; instead of receiving a normal education, she was compelled to work as a nanny and laborer, caring for her brother and attending to daily cabin chores. For nearly 10 years, she was cut off from the outside world, longing desperately for a normal childhood and schooling.
Despite constant hardships and repeated moments of despair, Suzanne never abandoned her desire for education. At 17, she seized a rare chance to earn money by taking odd jobs,saving every penny to buy a one-way ticket back to England. Through relentless self-study, she overcame countless barriers, secured an interview with the University of Oxford, and was eventually admitted. She later went on to earn a doctoral degree from Cambridge University. Today she serves as Chief Operating Officer of Exor Group and actively advocates for educational equality to support disadvantaged children.
Suzanne’s memoir documents her desperate struggle at sea, her unshakable hunger for education, and her tough journey to break free from adversity. It has touched millions of readers worldwide and become an international bestseller.

A. She lost all hope for a normal life.
B. She held anger against her parents.
C. She eventually abandoned her schooling.
D. She was desperate to break free from hardships.
5. Why did Suzanne fail to have a normal childhood?

While AI-driven technologies have revolutionized professional workflows and academic research in recent years, authoritative surveys reveal a disturbing loss of core qualities among young professionals — particularly in logical reasoning, independent problem-solving, and critical judgment of information. A growing number of young adults admit they depend on AI to draft proposals or confirm conclusions, so they rarely take part in the careful mental work needed to develop these basic skills.
Clara Bennett and Oliver Hale, technology analysts at The Economist, analyze this contradiction in their latest feature “AI’s Convenience Trap: Trading Skill for Efficiency”. They argue that the smooth use of AI in daily work and study has created a “skill decline” phenomenon, urging societies to keep a balance between making use of technological progress and protecting necessary human abilities.
Over the past decade, AI-powered writing assistants, data analysis software, and decision-support programs have spread through workplaces, universities, and even basic education. A small number of far-sighted institutions have taken action: most notably, several Ivy League universities in the US started a“Human-Centric Learning” activity in 2021,requiring that students finish core coursework without AI help, with AI only allowed for improving work after it is drafted. They stressed that AI should support not replace mental development, as passive dependence weakens in-depth learning. Similar changes have been tried in top Chinese universities, though on a small scale.
Despite these separate efforts, the whole situation remains largely unchanged: AI’s efficiency benefits continue to cause uncontrolled over-reliance. Statistical data from the OECD(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) shows that the percentage of young graduates unable to solve open-ended problems — those needing creative thinking rather than fixed answers — has risen sharply by 37% over the past five years. Employers in all fields complain that new workers often lack the ability to solve sudden errors or adjust to unexpected challenges, linking the gap to over-reliance on AI’s ready-made solutions.
We spend billions on advancing Al to make productivity more efficient, yet we often ignore the long-term social costs. Do we fully understand what is lost when critical thinking and careful analysis are set aside for immediate technological solutions? Bennett and Hale’s opinion is well-timed: it is necessary to re-examine our relationship with AI, making sure that human potential is developed rather than reduced.
8. What phenomenon is highlighted in paragraph 1?
A. The misuse of AI in academic fields.
B. Young adults' over-reliance on AI tools.
C. Declining thinking capacities of young working people.
D. The impact of AI-driven technologies on workflows.
9. What is the core. requirement of the “Human-Centric Learning” activity?
A. Training students to use AI tools critically.
B. Prioritizing human thinking over AI assistance.
C. Raising the efficiency of coursework completion.
D. Mastering basic operation of mainstream AI tools.
10. What can be inferred about the reforms mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. They lack long-term sustainable effects.
B. They proved to be effective in top universities.
C. They have greatly cut down dependence on AI.
D. They have not addressed the problem on a large scale.
11. Which one is the most suitable title for the text?
A. AI’s Negative Influence on Us
B. Decline in Problem-Solving Skills
C. Some Solutions to AI Dependency
D. AI Overuse Causes Core Skill Decline
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人工智能(AI)的广泛使用对年轻专业人士核心能力的影响,指出过度依赖AI导致逻辑推理、独立解决问题和信息批判性判断等能力下降,并提及了一些应对措施及其局限性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“While AI-driven technologies have revolutionized professional workflows and academic research in recent years, authoritative surveys reveal a disturbing loss of core qualities among young professionals — particularly in logical reasoning, independent problem-solving, and critical judgment of information.(近年来,尽管人工智能驱动的技术彻底改变了专业工作流程和学术研究,但权威调查显示,年轻专业人士的核心素质出现了令人不安的丧失,尤其是在逻辑推理、独立解决问题和信息批判性判断方面。)”可知,第一段强调了年轻劳动者的思维能力下降。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They stressed that AI should support not replace mental development, as passive dependence weakens in-depth learning.(他们强调,人工智能应该支持而不是取代思维发展,因为被动依赖会削弱深度学习。)”可知,“以人为本的学习”活动的核心要求是优先考虑人类思维而非人工智能辅助。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite these separate efforts, the whole situation remains largely unchanged: AI’s efficiency benefits continue to cause uncontrolled over-reliance.(尽管做出了这些单独的努力,但整个情况基本上没有改变:人工智能的效率优势继续导致不受控制的过度依赖。)”可知,这些改革并没有大规模地解决问题。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了人工智能的过度使用导致年轻专业人士的核心能力下降,如逻辑推理、独立解决问题和信息批判性判断等,并指出尽管有一些改革措施,但问题仍未得到大规模解决。因此,选项D“人工智能的过度使用导致核心技能下降”最能概括文章的主题。故选D。
D
Reading The Overview Effect is an exercise in mind expansion. Not only does author Frank White invite us to visualize the Earth from space, but he challenges us to envision(in our mind's eye) our home planet as an essential part of the solar system and even as an element of the entire universe.
At first sight picturing those images seems simple. We have all seen pictures of the Earth from the ISS and even from the Moon. But White puts those abstract images into perspective in terms of humanity, its social and political expressions, and its evolutionary future. He believes that seeing the Earth from a different physical perspective produces a different philosophical point of view that can benefit human society.
In the first third of his book, White massages readers’ minds, stretching their capacity to comprehend the human effects of that perspective. A powerful analogy (类比) he refers to at various times is to imagine a fish venturing forth onto dry land.“If you were a fish, you would have no idea what land was like,” he writes,“and only the very unclear idea of what water was like, because water would be the medium in which you lived. The idea of ‘sky’ would be far beyond your comprehension.” So. it is when humans venture into space.
White supports his own indirect perception of the Overview Effect with quotes from numerous astronauts who have directly experienced both the view and the significant effect it produces. Without exception, they report feeling a stronger, more protective connection with the Earth and a deepened awareness of the commonality of all human beings. The borders between countries disappear in the view from space; and the differences of cultures disappear along with them.
The new opportunities of commercial spaceflight mean that more people will have a chance to look at the Earth from outside, however briefly. And White’s own writings and his work with the Overview Institute are bringing an understanding of these insights indirectly to an increasing number of people. As more people experience the Overview Effect, directly or indirectly, White says,“We would hope to see people become more interested in preserving the environment, preventing war, and promoting other life-sustaining efforts.”
12. What is the book The Overview Effect intended to achieve?
A. Gaining a deeper insight into space.
B. Shifting people’s perception of the world.
C. Exploring the evolutionary future of humanity.
D. Enlarging the intellectual potential of human beings.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “massages” in paragraph 3?
A. calms down B. takes up C. fires up D. focuses on
14. What effect does seeing the Earth from space have on astronauts?
A. Realization of human insignificance.
B. Better understanding of cultural diversity.
C. Desire to conduct further space exploration.
D. Acknowledgment of interconnected humanity.
15. What does White anticipate people will do after reading his book?
A. Attempt to take commercial space trips.
B. Narrow the gaps between different cultures.
C. Advocate for the cause of space exploration.
D. Contribute to the collective welfare of humanity.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Frank White的著作The Overview Effect,阐述了其核心观点与社会意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Not only does author Frank White invite us to visualize the Earth from space, but he challenges us to envision our home planet as an essential part of the solar system and even as an element of the entire universe. (作者弗兰克·怀特不仅邀请我们从太空想象地球,还挑战我们将地球视为太阳系的重要组成部分,甚至是整个宇宙的一部分。)”以及第二段“He believes that seeing the Earth from a different physical perspective produces a different philosophical point of view that can benefit human society.(他认为,从不同的物理视角看地球会产生不同的哲学观点,这对人类社会有益。)”可知,The Overview Effect这本书旨在转变人们对世界的认知视角。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In the first third of his book, White massages readers’ minds, stretching their capacity to comprehend the human effects of that perspective.(在书的前三分之一部分,怀特massages读者的思维,拓展他们理解这种视角对人类影响的能力。)”结合后文用鱼上岸的类比说明人类进入太空后的认知转变,可知massages在这里是“激活、激发”的意思,与fires up意思相近。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Without exception, they report feeling a stronger, more protective connection with the Earth and a deepened awareness of the commonality of all human beings. The borders between countries disappear in the view from space; and the differences of cultures disappear along with them.(无一例外,他们都表示感受到与地球更强的保护联系,以及对全人类共性的更深认识。国家之间的边界在太空视角中消失;文化差异也随之消失。)”可知,从太空看地球让宇航员意识到人类是相互关联的整体。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“As more people experience the Overview Effect, directly or indirectly, White says, ‘we would hope to see people become more interested in preserving the environment, preventing war, and promoting other life-sustaining efforts.’(怀特说,随着越来越多的人直接或间接地体验总览效应,“我们希望看到人们对保护环境、防止战争和促进其他维持生命的努力更感兴趣。”)”可知,怀特期望人们在读完他的书后,为人类的集体福祉做贡献。故选D项。

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。选项中有两项为多选项。
Why Walking Meetings Can Be Better Than Sitting Down
The modern workplace is constantly evolving, and one notable shift is the rising interest in walking meetings.___16___. Advocates, however, champion them as a powerful tool that can unlock creativity, improve well-being, and foster better communication among team members. This practice involves conducting discussions while walking, either indoors or outdoors, instead of sitting around a table.
___17___Walking increases blood circulation, including to the brain. This enhanced flow provides the brain with more resources. Studies, such as one from Stanford University, have shown that this physiological state can boost creative ideas significantly. People often generate more novel ideas when walking compared to sitting in an unchanging environment.
Secondly, the format naturally alters group dynamics. The side-by-side walking position as opposed to facing each other across a table, reduces perceived hierarchy (等级) and formality.___18___. The changing scenery and physical activity can also lower stress levels making participants feet more at ease and open to sharing honest opinions.
However, walking meetings are not a universal fix. They are poorly suited for high technical discussions that require constant reference to detailed charts, data, or complex documents on a screen. They are ideal for initial project discussions where free-flowing thought is the goal.___19___
Carrying walking meetings out successfully requires some forethought. Choose a quiet route with a smooth path to avoid interruptions and ensure safety. Limit the group size three or four people for clear conversation.___20___The objective is to stimulate thinking through movement, not to conduct a tough hike. In an era valuing innovation and employ health, the walking meeting presents a simple yet effective strategy to enhance both.
A. The primary benefit lies in mental abilities.
B. This activity directly prevents the dangers of sitting.
C. The walking speed should be comfortable for talking.
D. Some critics dismiss them as a brief management trend.
E. Many employees appreciate the break from screen time.
F. It encourages a more casual and collaborative conversation style.
G. Therefore, selecting the appropriate meeting agenda is crucial.
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. C
【解析】

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For many years, psychologists saw identity as a ____36____ (combine) of someone’s values, beliefs, goals and social roles. Then, in the 1980s, Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity, in which he explains that these core features ____37____ (build) in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.
Our life story is something that starts coming together in our teenage years, when we begin to organise our lives into chapters ____38____ (root) in key events or life changes, and begin to regard ourselves ____39____the central character. People with more consistent stories tend to have a ____40____ (strong) sense of identity, and they feel their life has more meaning, direction and sense of purpose.
Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes. He discovers that whether someone describes having had some control over events in their past is ____41____ important predictor of a person’s mental health. Another key theme involves finding some kind of positive meaning after ____42____ (stress) events. “People could talk about gaining knowledge or personal growth,” says Johnson. His research shows that this is often missing for people with mental health conditions. The good news is that there is evidence we can learn ____43____ (change) our own story.
If you want to turn over a new leaf, though, one top tip is ____44____ it helps to choose a significant date that signals the start of a new “chapter”. So, whether your goal is saving money ____45____ getting fit, there is no better time to become the author of your own destiny.
【答案】36. combination
37. are built
38. rooted 39. as
40. stronger
41. an 42. stressful
43. to change
44. that 45. or
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。鲍勃·约翰逊提出了身份认同的生命故事模型,他在该模型中解释说,这些核心特征与我们的记忆相结合,构建出一个个人故事,通过这个故事我们来理解自己的人生。文章对这个理论进行了详细说明。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:多年来,心理学家将身份视为某人的价值观、信念、目标和社会角色的结合体。根据“of someone’s values, beliefs, goals and social roles”可知,此处是指价值观、信念、目标和社会角色的结合体,应用名词combination表示“结合”作宾语。故填combination。
【37题详解】
考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意:随后,在 20 世纪 80 年代,鲍勃·约翰逊提出了身份认同的生命故事模型,他在该模型中解释说,这些核心特征与我们的记忆相结合,构建出一个个人故事,通过这个故事我们来理解自己的人生。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时。动词build“建立”,和主语构成被动关系,应用被动语态,主语features是复数,谓语动词用复数形式。故填are built。
【38题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:我们的人生故事通常是在青少年时期开始逐渐成型的。那时,我们会将生活划分成一个个章节,这些章节往往与重要的事件或生活中的重大转变紧密相连,并且我们会开始将自己视为故事中的主角。动词root意为“使扎根”,和谓语之间没有连词,和逻辑主语chapters构成被动关系,且动作已完成,应用过去分词形式作后置定语。故填rooted。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:我们的人生故事通常是在青少年时期开始逐渐成型的。那时,我们会将生活划分成一个个章节,这些章节往往与重要的事件或生活中的重大转变紧密相连,并且我们会开始将自己视为故事中的主角。regard...as...意为“将……视为……”,此处应用介词as表示“作为”。故填as。
【40题详解】
考查比较级。句意:有着较为连贯清晰故事的人往往会有更强烈的自我认同感,他们会觉得自己的生活更有意义、更有方向、更有目标感。根据“People with more consistent stories”可知,此处是指有着较为连贯清晰故事的人往往会有更强烈的自我认同感,应用形容词比较级stronger表示“更强烈的”作定语。故填stronger。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他发现,一个人是否曾对自身过去的某些事件有所掌控,是预测其心理健康状况的一项重要指标。predictor意为“指标”,为可数名词,此处为第一次出现,应用不定冠词表泛指。important的开头发音为元音音素,所以不定冠词应用an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:另一个重要的主题是,在经历压力事件之后,要寻找某种积极的意义。此处修饰名词events应用形容词stressful表示“压力大的”作定语。故填stressful。
【43题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:好消息是,有证据表明我们能够学会如何改变自己的人生故事。learn to do意为“学会做某事”,此处应用动词不定式作宾语。故填to change。
【44题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:不过,如果你想彻底改过自新,那么一个重要的建议是:选择一个具有重要意义的日子,这个日子能象征着新“篇章”的开始。在名词性从句中不缺少主语、宾语或表语,且不缺少意义,所以应用从属连词that。故填that。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:所以,无论你的目标是节省开支,还是保持健康,现在都是你书写自己命运的最佳时机。whether...or...意为“无论……还是……”,为固定句式,此处应用连词or。故填or。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I want a friend!” my five-year-old’s clear blue eyes showed the pain of rejection. Noah was deaf, and the past couple of years began to show what the future held for my little guy.
The first few years of his life, Noah had many friends in our neighborhood. Small children don’t talk a lot and are content to simply play. As time passed and Noah got to the age where speech and hearing were a noticeable part of “hanging out”, his friends started realizing he was different. Soon, no one came to play with my tiny son, and he too began to understand he was different. My heart ached, and I spent endless hours in tears, begging God to send him a friend. But the children at school came from everywhere, and none lived near enough to “hang out”.
Noah recently began the heartbreaking hobby of writing and leaving mail on the porch (门廊) for his “friends”. He stuck his own toys to the notes, thinking that he could somehow make friends this way. I often had to retrieve (取回) his notes so that he thought someone was getting his messages of friendship. His excited trips to the front porch the next morning would sometimes bring him a feeling of having an unseen pen pal. It broke my heart.
But today was different. I got a miracle — in fact, three kids.
My phone rang, and I was distracted with a long-distance friend, catching up with each other’s lives without noticing Noah slipping out the front door. It wasn’t until Nick, my sixteen-year-old son came home for lunch that Noah’s absence was known. Panic-stricken, Nick and I searched the house, yard, and garage... no Noah.
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。
Trembling, I searched the house again.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I let them play until lunchtime, before finally walking down the street to pick up my child.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Trembling, I searched the house again. My heart pounded with a million frightening thoughts coming through my brain. Where was my little boy? Nick and I ran outside, calling his name desperately. Finally, we spotted him at the end of the street. To my surprise, Noah was sitting on the grass with three children, sharing his toys with them. His notes and toys had actually worked! The children were laughing and playing together, using the toys as a way to communicate without words. Tears filled my eyes at this beautiful sight.
I let them play until lunchtime, before finally walking down the street to pick up my child. Noah looked up at me with the brightest smile I had ever seen. “Mom, they like my toys! They want to play again tomorrow!” he signed excitedly. I hugged him tightly, my heart overflowing with gratitude. His simple idea of sharing toys had built a bridge of friendship. Walking home hand in hand, I realized that Noah had found his own way to connect with others — through the language of play and kindness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物情感为线索展开,讲述了失聪的小男孩诺亚因听力和语言障碍渐渐被同伴疏远,内心渴望朋友,便通过在门廊留下写着友情的纸条和玩具的方式试图交友,这让母亲十分心疼。某天母亲打电话时诺亚悄悄出门,家人发现后焦急寻找,最终收获惊喜的故事。

At the age of 7, Suzanne Heywood, formerly known as Suzanne Cook, embarked on a yacht (游艇) called Wavewalker with her parents and younger brother Jonathan, beneath an endless stretch of blue ocean. What was intended to be a 3-year voyage to retrace Captain Cook’s third circumnavigation evolved into a nearly 10-year harrowing ordeal that would permanently shape her life. This extraordinary, tough experience later became the subject of her best-selling memoir (回忆录) Wavewalker: Breaking Free, published in 2023.
The journey set off from Plymouth, England, in 1976. Her parents, determined to mark the 200th anniversary of Captain Cook’s third voyage, resigned from their jobs, sold their house, and took their children on the recreated journey. Yet catastrophe struck unexpectedly — the voyage turned out far more dangerous than expected. One terrible morning, 13-meter-high waves slammed into the yacht, destroying the deck and flooding the cabin with seawater. Stranded (使滞留) and short of supplies, Suzanne was injured several times; instead of receiving a normal education, she was compelled to work as a nanny and laborer, caring for her brother and attending to daily cabin chores. For nearly 10 years, she was cut off from the outside world, longing desperately for a normal childhood and schooling.
Despite constant hardships and repeated moments of despair, Suzanne never abandoned her desire for education. At 17, she seized a rare chance to earn money by taking odd jobs,saving every penny to buy a one-way ticket back to England. Through relentless self-study, she overcame countless barriers, secured an interview with the University of Oxford, and was eventually admitted. She later went on to earn a doctoral degree from Cambridge University. Today she serves as Chief Operating Officer of Exor Group and actively advocates for educational equality to support disadvantaged children.
Suzanne’s memoir documents her desperate struggle at sea, her unshakable hunger for education, and her tough journey to break free from adversity. It has touched millions of readers worldwide and become an international bestseller.
4. What can be inferred about Suzanne from her sea experience?
A. She lost all hope for a normal life.
B. She held anger against her parents.
C. She eventually abandoned her schooling.
D. She was desperate to break free from hardships.
5. Why did Suzanne fail to have a normal childhood?
A. She refused to return to England.
B. She became a popular writer at an early age.
C. She lived isolated at sea for nearly 10 years.
D. She received excellent education on the yacht.
6. What does Suzanne call for according to the text?
A. More attention to children in difficult situations.
B. Quitting jobs to realize personal travel dreams.
C. Writing memoirs to record unusual experiences.
D. Taking sea voyages to build survival skills.
7. What is the genre of the text?
A. A news report. B. A book review.
C. A fictional story. D. An academic essay.
C
While AI-driven technologies have revolutionized professional workflows and academic research in recent years, authoritative surveys reveal a disturbing loss of core qualities among young professionals — particularly in logical reasoning, independent problem-solving, and critical judgment of information. A growing number of young adults admit they depend on AI to draft proposals or confirm conclusions, so they rarely take part in the careful mental work needed to develop these basic skills.
Clara Bennett and Oliver Hale, technology analysts at The Economist, analyze this contradiction in their latest feature “AI’s Convenience Trap: Trading Skill for Efficiency”. They argue that the smooth use of AI in daily work and study has created a “skill decline” phenomenon, urging societies to keep a balance between making use of technological progress and protecting necessary human abilities.
Over the past decade, AI-powered writing assistants, data analysis software, and decision-support programs have spread through workplaces, universities, and even basic education. A small number of far-sighted institutions have taken action: most notably, several Ivy League universities in the US started a“Human-Centric Learning” activity in 2021,requiring that students finish core coursework without AI help, with AI only allowed for improving work after it is drafted. They stressed that AI should support not replace mental development, as passive dependence weakens in-depth learning. Similar changes have been tried in top Chinese universities, though on a small scale.
Despite these separate efforts, the whole situation remains largely unchanged: AI’s efficiency benefits continue to cause uncontrolled over-reliance. Statistical data from the OECD(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) shows that the percentage of young graduates unable to solve open-ended problems — those needing creative thinking rather than fixed answers — has risen sharply by 37% over the past five years. Employers in all fields complain that new workers often lack the ability to solve sudden errors or adjust to unexpected challenges, linking the gap to over-reliance on AI’s ready-made solutions.
We spend billions on advancing Al to make productivity more efficient, yet we often ignore the long-term social costs. Do we fully understand what is lost when critical thinking and careful analysis are set aside for immediate technological solutions? Bennett and Hale’s opinion is well-timed: it is necessary to re-examine our relationship with AI, making sure that human potential is developed rather than reduced.

Reading The Overview Effect is an exercise in mind expansion. Not only does author Frank White invite us to visualize the Earth from space, but he challenges us to envision(in our mind's eye) our home planet as an essential part of the solar system and even as an element of the entire universe.
At first sight, picturing those images seems simple. We have all seen pictures of the Earth from the ISS and even from the Moon. But White puts those abstract images into perspective in terms of humanity, its social and political expressions, and its evolutionary future. He believes that seeing the Earth from a different physical perspective produces a different philosophical point of view that can benefit human society.
In the first third of his book, White massages readers’ minds, stretching their capacity to comprehend the human effects of that perspective. A powerful analogy (类比) he refers to at various times is to imagine a fish venturing forth onto dry land.“If you were a fish, you would have no idea what land was like,” he writes,“and only the very unclear idea of what water was like, because water would be the medium in which you lived. The idea of ‘sky’ would be far beyond your comprehension.” So. it is when humans venture into space.
White supports his own indirect perception of the Overview Effect with quotes from numerous astronauts who have directly experienced both the view and the significant effect it produces. Without exception, they report feeling a stronger, more protective connection with the Earth and a deepened awareness of the commonality of all human beings. The borders between countries disappear in the view from space; and the differences of cultures disappear along with them.
The new opportunities of commercial spaceflight mean that more people will have a chance to look at the Earth from outside, however briefly. And White’s own writings and his work with the Overview Institute are bringing an understanding of these insights indirectly to an increasing number of people. As more people experience the Overview Effect, directly or indirectly, White says,“We would hope to see people become more interested in preserving the environment, preventing war, and promoting other life-sustaining efforts.”
12. What is the book The Overview Effect intended to achieve?
A. Gaining a deeper insight into space.
B. Shifting people’s perception of the world.
C. Exploring the evolutionary future of humanity.
D. Enlarging the intellectual potential of human beings.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “massages” in paragraph 3?
A. calms down B. takes up C. fires up D. focuses on
14. What effect does seeing the Earth from space have on astronauts?
A. Realization of human insignificance.
B. Better understanding of cultural diversity.
C. Desire to conduct further space exploration.
D. Acknowledgment of interconnected humanity.
15. What does White anticipate people will do after reading his book?
A. Attempt to take commercial space trips.
B. Narrow the gaps between different cultures.
C. Advocate for the cause of space exploration.
D. Contribute to the collective welfare of humanity.

Why Walking Meetings Can Be Better Than Sitting Down
The modern workplace is constantly evolving, and one notable shift is the rising interest in walking meetings.___16___. Advocates, however, champion them as a powerful tool that can unlock creativity, improve well-being, and foster better communication among team members. This practice involves conducting discussions while walking, either indoors or outdoors, instead of sitting around a table.
___17___Walking increases blood circulation, including to the brain. This enhanced flow provides the brain with more resources. Studies, such as one from Stanford University, have shown that this physiological state can boost creative ideas significantly. People often generate more novel ideas when walking compared to sitting in an unchanging environment.
Secondly, the format naturally alters group dynamics. The side-by-side walking position as opposed to facing each other across a table, reduces perceived hierarchy (等级) and formality.___18___. The changing scenery and physical activity can also lower stress levels making participants feet more at ease and open to sharing honest opinions.
However, walking meetings are not a universal fix. They are poorly suited for high technical discussions that require constant reference to detailed charts, data, or complex documents on a screen. They are ideal for initial project discussions where free-flowing thought is the goal.___19___
Carrying walking meetings out successfully requires some forethought. Choose a quiet route with a smooth path to avoid interruptions and ensure safety. Limit the group size three or four people for clear conversation.___20___The objective is to stimulate thinking through movement, not to conduct a tough hike. In an era valuing innovation and employ health, the walking meeting presents a simple yet effective strategy to enhance both.
A The primary benefit lies in mental abilities.
B. This activity directly prevents the dangers of sitting.
C. The walking speed should be comfortable for talking.
D. Some critics dismiss them as a brief management trend.
E. Many employees appreciate the break from screen time.
F. It encourages a more casual and collaborative conversation style.
G. Therefore, selecting the appropriate meeting agenda is crucial.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For many years, psychologists saw identity as a ____36____ (combine) of someone’s values, beliefs, goals and social roles. Then, in the 1980s, Bob Johnson created the life story model of identity, in which he explains that these core features ____37____ (build) in with our memories to create a personal story through which we understand our lives.
Our life story is something that starts coming together in our teenage years, when we begin to organise our lives into chapters ____38____ (root) in key events or life changes, and begin to regard ourselves ____39____the central character. People with more consistent stories tend to have a ____40____ (strong) sense of identity, and they feel their life has more meaning, direction and sense of purpose.
Johnson has also investigated the link between well-being and certain story themes. He discovers that whether someone describes having had some control over events in their past is ____41____ important predictor of a person’s mental health. Another key theme involves finding some kind of positive meaning after ____42____ (stress) events. “People could talk about gaining knowledge or personal growth,” says Johnson. His research shows that this is often missing for people with mental health conditions. The good news is that there is evidence we can learn ____43____ (change) our own story.
If you want to turn over a new leaf, though, one top tip is ____44____ it helps to choose a significant date that signals the start of a new “chapter”. So, whether your goal is saving money ____45____ getting fit, there is no better time to become the author of your own destiny.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“I want a friend!” my five-year-old’s clear blue eyes showed the pain of rejection. Noah was deaf, and the past couple of years began to show what the future held for my little guy.
The first few years of his life, Noah had many friends in our neighborhood. Small children don’t talk a lot and are content to simply play. As time passed and Noah got to the age where speech and hearing were a noticeable part of “hanging out”, his friends started realizing he was different. Soon, no one came to play with my tiny son, and he too began to understand he was different. My heart ached, and I spent endless hours in tears, begging God to send him a friend. But the children at school came from everywhere, and none lived near enough to “hang out”.
Noah recently began the heartbreaking hobby of writing and leaving mail on the porch (门廊) for his “friends”. He stuck his own toys to the notes, thinking that he could somehow make friends this way. I often had to retrieve (取回) his notes so that he thought someone was getting his messages of friendship. His excited trips to the front porch the next morning would sometimes bring him a feeling of having an unseen pen pal. It broke my heart.
But today was different. I got a miracle — in fact, three kids.
My phone rang, and I was distracted with a long-distance friend, catching up with each other’s lives without noticing Noah slipping out the front door. It wasn’t until Nick, my sixteen-year-old son came home for lunch that Noah’s absence was known. Panic-stricken, Nick and I searched the house, yard, and garage... no Noah.
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。
Trembling, I searched the house again.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I let them play until lunchtime, before finally walking down the street to pick up my child.
