Kennedy comes to this memory cafe twice a month since being diagnosed (诊断) with early onset Alzheimer’s disease in his late 50s. Everyone here has a degree of memory loss or is a caregiver for someone with memory loss. Attendees colored on worksheets with an underwater theme. They drank coffee and returned to the breakfast bar for seconds on cakes. A quick round of trivia quiz (问答比赛) got everyone’s minds working. “Many of us cannot answer any of the questions,” Kennedy said with a laugh. “We all have a good time going around,” he added. “You know, we all try to make it fun.” This memory cafe in northeast Pennsylvania is one of more than 600 across the country. These gatherings for people with cognitive impairment (认知障碍) and their caregivers are relatively cheap and easy to run—often the only expense is a small rental fee for the space. Kennedy’s disease forced him to retire, ending a decades’ long career as a software engineer at the University of Scranton. He recommends memory cafes to other people with mental disorders and their families. “If they’re not coming to a place like this, they’re doing themselves a disservice. You got to get out there and see people that are laughing,” he explained. The memory cafes happen twice a month. They have given Kennedy purpose, and helped him cope with negative emotions around his diagnosis. “I came in and I was miserable,” Kennedy said. “I come in now and it’s like a big, extended family. I get to meet them. I get to meet their partners. I get to meet their children. So, it’s really nice.” 24. What does Kennedy’s statement about the trivia quiz reveal? A. The caregivers are not involved in the game. B. The questions are not designed for the elderly. C. The activity fails to achieve its intended purpose. D. The subjects enjoy themselves despite their condition. 25. What does the underlined word “disservice” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Harm. B. Advantage. C. Judgement. D. Dissatisfaction. 26. What can we learn about Kennedy from the last paragraph? A. He has lived a terrible life. B. He has a large family to support. C. He used to be positive towards life. D. He benefited a lot from the memory cafes. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Fun Activities in Memory Cafes B. The Reasons for Starting Memory Cafes C. Rob Kennedy: Owner of Memory Cafes D. Memory Cafes: A Community of Support C Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are a kind of large monkey without a tail. A new study shows chimpanzees living in an African nature reserve have developed a “fashion trend” for hanging grass leaves from their ear holes and behind. In 2010, researchers in Zambia observed a female chimpanzee beginning to hang objects from her ear, and other members of her group soon followed her suit. There was no evidence of the chimpanzees dealing with pain or itching (痒), as they used grass or sticks, and they remained very relaxed during this activity. The behavior is more of a social trend. What interests researchers is the fact that chimpanzees in a different group at the reserve started showing the same behavior more than a decade later. This group lived around nine miles from the first group; they couldn’t have copied it from them. As it turns out, the staff in one area of the reserve had developed a habit of cleaning their ears with matchsticks, while those on the other side didn’t. The behavior was picked up by the chimpanzees from their caregivers before passing on the behavior to other members of their group. Study lead author Ed van Leeuwen, an assistant professor of behavioral biology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, also used the example of a group of chimpanzees in a zoo in the Netherlands. In this case, a female chimpanzee started walking as if she were carrying a baby, even though she wasn’t. Soon, all of the females had adopted this walking style. According to Ed van Leeuwen, these behaviors are a way for chimpanzees to make connections with other members, which can facilitate harmonious social interactions. These kinds of recordings are crucial to advancing our understanding of the origins and transmission patterns of cultural behaviors in chimpanzees and other non-human animals. “If chimps can copy humans, could they be learning from and copying other non-human species as well? It’s an exciting moment,” Leeuwen said. 28. What do we know about the female chimpanzee’s behavior in Zambia? A. It was a sign of suffering pains. B. It was related to a health problem. C. It was adopted by others in the group. D. It was done when it was under great stress. 29. How did the second chimp group learn the behavior? A. By observing other animals. B. Through researcher training. C. By imitating the first group. D. By learning from their caregivers. 30. What does the example of the female chimpanzee in the Dutch zoo illustrate? A. Chimpanzees in zoos have more free time. B. Social trends can spread among chimpanzees. C. Walking styles are very important to chimpanzees. D. Female chimpanzees are more likely to get injured. 31. Why do chimpanzees copy these new behaviors according to Ed van Leeuwen? A. To show their uniqueness. B. To fit in and smooth social relations. C. To attract human attention. D. To protect themselves from danger. D “I AM A DIGITAL CLONE,” says a young man. He smiles and blinks (眨眼). “If you’re curious about how this all works or have any questions, feel free to ask.” This clone represents Dara Ladjevardian. He co-founded Delphi. This company assists people in creating their own virtual doubles. If the real Ladjevardian is too busy for a meeting, no biggie. Anyone can video call or chat with his clone online any time. Right now, those conversations are a bit unnatural and repetitive. But the tech is improving all the time. Digital clones like this exist thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, or AI. An AI model learns to recognize patterns in data. If a developer feeds recordings of someone into an AI model, it can learn to mimic their voice and likeness. A different AI model can take in content that person has created, then learn to copy their style and expertise. Yet another type of AI model can learn what emotions to express on a virtual clone’s face based on the words they’re speaking. Many models can thus combine to power one clone. The real Dara Ladjevardian considers digital clones an exciting new form of media. “This is just the next version of a book. We already experience someone else’s thoughts by reading, watching or listening to them. Now, we can experience someone else’s thoughts by communicating with them in an interactive and personalized way,” he wrote in an email. Others are less sure that digital clones are a great idea. In one 2023 study, researchers asked people their thoughts on this use of AI. Many, they report, found the idea of such clones “strange and horrible”. Journalist Evan Ratliff experienced these sorts of reactions himself when he cloned his voice and personality for his podcast Shell Game. He worries what might happen if lots of people start sending clones of themselves out into the world. It will likely become harder to find real people to talk or listen to. 32. What can we learn about the digital clone? A. It is intelligent and natural. B. It is useful in a limited way. C. It can fully replace real-person conversations. D. It has reached an advanced stage of development. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. The way of digital clones’ coming into being. B. The work of digital clone developers. C. The development of AI. D. The functions of AI. 34. What worries Evan Ratliff most? A. The high creation cost. B. Possible legal problems. C. Less real human contact. D. Their copying inaccuracy. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. Clones and traditional media. B. Clones’use in business meetings. C. Creating digital clones and views on them. D. Digital clones’ future in many fields. 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。 Whether it’s a trip to the grocery store or a vacation to the beach, there’s nothing more enjoyable than quality family time and nothing quite as terrible as a public temper tantrum (耍脾气). 36 Here are tips to set expectations and ensure outings are enjoyable for the whole family. Set age-appropriate expectations Your children have a lot of energy and excitement. 37 Having breaks and rewards can help your child behave well while you run to the grocery store, then to the bank. Think about stopping at the park after the bank. 38 As a parent, you know what are reasonable expectations. Clearly communicate expectations and plan for your outing 39 For example, you can tell them that you are going to go through your grocery list and will not be buying snacks at the grocery store. It’s important to communicate expectations as clearly as possible. Make sure you’re doing so in an age-appropriate way. Your preschooler may be able to repeat your expectations back to you, but your toddler (学步的儿童) likely will not be able to do so. Offer rewards on your own terms It’s OK to reward your child, but if your child is in the middle of a tantrum, it’s important to avoid offering a reward. This may lead her to frequently have outbursts if it seems like this type of behavior gets rewarded. Instead, you set the expectation that good behavior is required for a treat and rewards will be provided if those expectations are met. 40 A. It’s OK to reward for good behavior! B. You can ask him to wait quietly and read a book. C. Tell your children how happy and proud they made you. D. Before leaving, let your child know what’s going to happen. E. Or you may introduce a new game or toy on the drive home. F. Temper tantrum, in fact, is quite normal for young children. G. Therefore, asking them to be quiet for a long period of time isn’t realistic. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Last weekend, I was watching TV when an animal story caught my attention.

As students poured out of the classrooms, she was already cleaning up her room for what was to come. At 3:30 pm exactly a gentle knock sounded at her door. “Come in, Tommy!” she called and a small boy, with two front teeth missing, poked (探出) his head in. Tommy walked to his usual seat, his eyes down. “I still can’t do it, Miss Carter.” he spoke in a low voice holding up his math book. “That’s okay, Tommy. We’ll figure it out together,” she said and pulled up a chair beside him. For the next hour they worked through problem after problem. Miss Carter explained each step patiently and used colorful blocks to make the abstract concrete. Slowly Tommy’s furrowed brow (皱眉) relaxed and a spark of understanding appeared in his eyes. As Tommy walked out, his chest was filled with pride. Another student arrived and then another. Each day Miss Carter stayed after the final bell to offer extra help, a listening ear or just a safe space for students who needed it. Weeks turned into months. Tommy’s grades went up and he started raising his hand in class. Other students inspired by his progress started staying after school too. One fall afternoon as Miss Carter was closing up, she found a note under her door. It was from Tommy’s mom. She expressed her sincere thanks to Miss Carter for what she had done for Tommy. Miss Carter’s eyes welled up as she folded the note and put it in her pocket. It was moments like these that reminded her why she became a teacher. The following spring Maplewood Elementary held its annual awards ceremony. As Principal Johnson cook the stage, he announced a new award: “Teacher of the Year” 汪意： （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。 The room fell silent as he began to speak.

In my opinion, volunteering in the community would be a better choice. To start with, it offers a chance to give back to society. You can help those in need, which will bring you a great sense of achievement and make you feel more connected to your community. Secondly, volunteering is a wonderful way to develop social skills. You’ll meet different people and learn how to communicate and cooperate with them. Although traveling is also exciting, you can do it at other times. I hope you’ll have an unforgettable summer! Yours, Li Hua 第二节 The room fell silent as he began to speak. “This year’s recipient has gone above and beyond, staying after school hours to help students in need. She has changed lives not just through teaching but through caring. The Teacher of the Year award goes to ... Miss Amelia Carter!” The auditorium erupted in applause. Students leapt to their feet, chanting, “Miss Carter! Miss Carter!” Tommy waved a handmade sign that read BEST TEACHER EVER, jumping up and cheering louder than anyone. As Miss Carter made her way to the stage, she saw face after face of students she’d helped all beaming with gratitude and admiration. As Miss Carter accepted the award, her voice shook. “Thank you,” she said, “but this award belongs to every student who’s ever stayed after the bell, who’s struggled and persevered. You are the reason I do what I do.” She glanced at Tommy; he grinned, two front teeth still missing. In that moment she knew the late afternoons, the colored blocks, the extra pencils—all of it—had built something far bigger than grades. As she looked out at the crowd Miss Carter knew her work was far from done. There would always be another student who needed help, another life to touch. And she would be there long after the bell rang to make a difference. 听力录音文稿 Text 1 W: That math lecture was way too hard for me. My notes are a mess. M: Well, you were on sick leave for three days, and it’s normal to feel a bit lost. Let’s head to the library after school. I’ll help you catch up. Text 2 M: Hello Sarah, would you like to go to see Christina with us tomorrow? W: Hi Jack. I’d love to, but I promised my grandparents I’d go to stay with them this weekend. M: Oh, that’s sweet of you. Maybe next time. Text 3 M: This section features plants from tropical climates. The environment here is identical to their natural habitat. W: It feels like I’ve stepped into the rainforest. The variety is amazing! Text 4 W: Hello, John. I’m calling about your appointment with Doctor Smith on the 13th at 10:45 am. Unfortunately, I need to reschedule it. Would a later time work for you? M: Sure. But I have a lunch date at noon. So the earliest time I could get there is 1:30 pm. W: OK. Let’s move your appointment to 2:00 pm instead. Text 5 W: This piece was inspired by my travels to Morocco. The colors represent the energetic street markets and the wonderful old buildings. M: It’s truly amazing! You’ve really caught the most important feature of the place. I wish I could go to this place right now. Text 6 M: Do you have any other concerns about the meeting? W: I think I’m all set regarding the meeting content. But I do have a couple of things I’d like to bring up. M: Sure. Fire away! W: In the last meeting, it was sometimes hard to translate everything correctly. Some of the discussions were very lively, and you spoke very quickly. M: Ah, yes, I remember. I’ll slow down, I promise. W: And you spoke five or six sentences at one go. It would be helpful if you took regular breaks—to allow me to clear my head. M: And for me to clear mine! Text 7 W: I’m thinking of joining the new cultural exchange club at school. It seems like a good way to learn about other countries. M: That’s a great idea! They mainly organize events where students share their traditions and talk about world issues, right? It’s a great way to learn more. W: Exactly. It sounds fun, learning and appreciating different views through direct student interactions. They learn how to play games from different countries. They also have guest speakers and cultural nights where you can participate in different traditions. And everybody loves the international food fair. That one might be my favorite. M: Joining could really make your school life more interesting. Plus, you’ll likely make new friends from around the world. W: That’s what I’m hoping for. I think it will help me see the world differently. That’s something I really wanted in my school life, considering the small town I grew up in. Text 8 M: Lisa, did you grow up learning to play any instruments? W: Yes. I started learning the guitar when I was eleven. I’d just moved to a new school and didn’t know anyone. Joining the school band seemed like a nice way to make friends, and they happened to need someone to play the guitar. What about you? M: I’ve been learning the violin since I was six. My grandfather used to take me to classical music concerts, and I was so inspired that I begged my parents to let me start lessons. W: That’s great! Do you still play now? M: I do, but I wish I’d practiced more back then. Instead, I spent a lot of time hanging out at the park with my friends. W: I can understand that. For me, playing the guitar is more about teaching now. M: I see. For me, I don’t regret choosing the violin, especially since most kids I knew at the time were more into rock music. Text 9 M: Why are you sitting on the floor, honey? W: I’m worn out. My new advanced exercise class is so hard. M: Why did you choose the advanced one? W: My instructor thought that the beginner’s class was too easy for me. M: Hah! Too easy for you? W: Don’t laugh. In the beginner’s class, the coach gives you a chance to rest between exercises. M: So? W: In the advanced class, we keep going. M: I lift weights for sixty minutes every morning without stopping. No problem. W: Listen, Richard. Doing gymnastics for an hour is more difficult than lifting weights. It’s a sport that requires a considerable level of flexibility and physical strength. M: But I think gymnastics is easy. I could work out in your advanced class with no problem. W: You think so? M: Yes. When’s the next class? W: Tomorrow morning at ten o’clock. Try it. M: After my morning exercise routine, I’ll accompany you to the gym. It’s a piece of cake. Text 10 W: Good evening, everyone. My name is Grace Collins, and I’m excited to share my experiences with you tonight. For the past ten years, I’ve worked to protect and restore natural ecosystems, particularly in a small island nation in the Pacific. One of my proudest projects was creating a community program where local fishermen could work together to monitor and protect the environment. The partnership has shown me that successful conservation isn’t just about using the latest tools or technologies. It’s about building trust, respecting local traditions, and finding ways to solve problems together. I’ve learned so much from the people I’ve worked with, and their knowledge has been key to bringing real change. Later in my talk, I’ll introduce some new techniques we’ve recently developed to help speed up restoration efforts, but first, I’d like to tell you more about the work we did and what we learned along the way. After my presentation, I’d be happy to take any questions. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
