The first project is the Pops Advisor which provides an automatic evaluation of students’ video presentations with visual feedback. The Advisor offers on-demand comments to students practicing public speaking from anywhere. This flexibility benefits instructors, who can be as hands-on or hands-off during practice. While students can operate autonomously with the tool, instructors can also choose to keep track of students’ progress. Criteria Using machine learning models, the Pops Advisor analyzes the following criteria: Delivery Introduction Body Conclusion Vocal Style Vocal Quality Vocal Filler Eye Contact Body Language Credibility Attention Central Idea Preview Connective Support Language Connective Credibility Organization Signaling Ending Summary Memorable Ending Credibility Feedback The presenter receives feedback on the above four categories. And this feedback is given in the following formats: Recommendations To provide presenters with valuable feedback for the next practice, recommendations focus on specific aspects needing improvement. For instance, the recommendation can be “Your message is clear, but be sure you are grabbing your audience’s attention in your introduction to ensure they are listening.” Speech Metrics (指标) Useful speech metrics serve as quantitative descriptors on several aspects of the presentation including number of words, total presentation time, speaking rate and vocal fillers percentage. Pops Advisor can be used in any classroom setting where students are presenting, particularly in the Basic Public Speaking Course. When you are considering what can be achieved by your students toward skill development in a single school semester, Advisor increases the overall development. 1. What is the Pops Advisor? A. An evaluation tool. B. A time tracker. C. A video player. D. A voice assistant. 2. Which of the following categories provides feedback on facial expressions? A. Body. B. Delivery. C. Conclusion. D. Introduction. 3. Who is the text intended for? A. Lab technicians. B. Foreign language learners. C. Artificial Intelligence engineers. D. Public speech instructors. B It all began at an unusual engineering class where non-engineers were challenged to combine art and science to help the world. Two students — Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews — decided to give it a try. The pair discussed issues faced by many people around the world to see which they could help solve. Access to cheap electricity was one that came to mind right away. That’s when Julia, who used to play lots of sports in high school, had a sudden idea: what if they were able to capture (捕获) some of the energy that is generated when people play sports? Maybe they could turn it into electricity. Given its popularity among both young and old all over the world, soccer seemed to be the natural choice, and the ball the perfect thing to do it with! They tried their ideas out first by sticking a shake-to-charge flashlight they had bought inside a small, hollow ball. Then they kicked it around to see if the flashlight would pick up the charge (电荷). The version they produced after that was an improved one. A mechanism inside the ball captured the energy created as the ball moved, which could then be turned into electricity. They made a number of these balls which were tested by delighted kids at the World Cup Soccer Championships. Just under 150g heavier than a regulation soccer ball, the Soccket football had the capacity to store enough energy to power up a small lamp for three hours following just 30 minutes of play. They then worked on the first Soccket football to be produced in large numbers. The latest model is said to be six to seven times more energy efficient than the original. And the Soccket is not their only idea — having succeeded with the Soccket, they have many similar ideas combining fun and function. Of course, they plan to develop these. As Silverman says: “Just because we get older doesn’t mean we have to stop playing, and just because we need important things in life, like electricity, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun producing them.” 4. The unusual engineering class mentioned in the first paragraph ______. A. is related to soccer B. is designed for electrical engineers C. admits non-engineers so long as they love sports D. encourages learning to solve real-world problems 5. What is the primary purpose of this article? A. To explain how to charge soccer balls with electricity. B. To introduce an amazing invention with soccer balls. C To discuss the global shortage of electricity. D. To show how soccer changes two students’ life. 6. What do we know about the Soccket football? A. It can flash when kicked around. B. It is being used in professional soccer matches. C. It is the combined product of love and imagination. D. It is created to turn electrical energy into other energy. 7. Why does the author quote Silverman at the end of the passage? A. To praise Julia and Jessica’s contribution to the world. B. To explain the function of Julia and Jessica’s product. C. To highlight Julia and Jessica’s personal character of helpfulness. D. To demonstrate the philosophy behind Julia and Jessica’s practice. C For sports fans, attending a live match with their favorite team playing is exciting. For the visually challenged, however, this usually means giving up the commentary (解说) from TV broadcasts and relying on their companions to know what’s going on in the game. Hoping to change the situation, OneCourt has created a clever tactile (触觉的) device, aiming to make the excitement of live sports accessible to all. The device, a tactile display, is designed to sit comfortably on the user’s lap. Its surface is a faithful copy of the game field or court, with the plays being turned into vibrations (震动) that fans can follow with their fingertips. As the ball moves across the court or field, the corresponding vibration on the device also shifts position. Currently, the device supports three popular sports: basketball, football, and baseball, the latter of which was put to the test during the MLB’s 2024 All-Star Weekend, proving its functionality and reliability. OneCourt explains that they collect ball and player positional data tracked at the league level. This data is then translated into a special tactile language, which is presented as trackable vibrations on the device’s surface. Recently, the Portland Trail Blazers became the first NBA team to partner with OneCourt. The device is available at home games at no additional cost. The team welcomed blind Paralympian Anthony S. Ferraro to show the device at work. While using it, the athlete was excited to discover how quickly the players were moving on the court. “This was a life-changing experience, and I can’t wait until devices like this are applied across the board in all sports and events,” Ferraro said. The device is of great help to the visually challenged following a game at home, but it really shines at an in-stadium event, where fans can take in the live game in front of them and feel the energy of like-minded sports fans. 8. Why does the author mention “commentary from TV broadcasts” in paragraph 1? A. To show the awkward situation the visually challenged face. B. To introduce the popularity that TV sports broadcasts enjoy. C. To highlight the role live sports commentary plays in a match. D. To compare different ways that people follow sports games. 9 What is special about the tactile device’s surface design? A. It connects to smartphones for voice guidance. B. It adjusts its shape according to different sports rules. C. It displays real-time player data through visual signals. D. It copies the game field and uses vibrations to present plays. 10. What does the example of MLB’s 2024 All-Star Weekend show? A. The device is adaptable to many sports. B. Baseball enjoys a growing popularity among fans. C. The device is considered both practical and reliable. D. More data support is badly needed from sports leagues. 11. What can be inferred about the tactile device from the last paragraph? A. It requires further development to support more sports. B. It may become more widely used in various sports events. C. It is currently available at most NBA teams’ home games. D. It will soon replace TV commentary for the visually challenged. D Cognitive (认知的) offloading, the act of delegating mental work to external tools, should concern anyone who values their own intelligence. When given the choice between thinking through a problem or letting technology handle it, will we choose the tool, even when we’re perfectly capable of succeeding on our own? Sam Gilbert noticed in his experiments something he calls “reminder bias.” This is the tendency to use external memory aids even when your own memory would serve you better. Participants chose to set digital reminders for tasks they could easily remember unaided. Even when offered money to encourage people to rely on their own memory, they still couldn’t overcome it. The root reason seems to be that people underestimate their own cognitive abilities. They think they’ll forget, so they set a reminder. They think they can’t solve the problem, so they ask AI. Over time, by consistently choosing the external tool, they never exercise the internal capability. If the problem were limited to memory, it might not matter much. After all, what’s the problem with setting a reminder on your phone? But research suggests the cognitive costs extend far beyond remembering appointments. Nathaniel Barr claimed that individuals who score lower on the Cognitive Reflection Test show greater smartphone dependence when obtaining information. These are people who, when faced with a problem, instinctively (本能地) reach for the quickest solution. AI hasn’t created this tendency. Humans have often preferred mental shortcuts. But AI has removed nearly all difficulties. You don’t have to go to a library or even type a search question. You just ask, and the answer appears, exactly as you need it. My concern is that people may begin using AI in ways that prevent the development of analytical skills. For a college student who consistently uses AI to work through problems, I question whether they’re building the neural infrastructure (神经基础结构) to handle similar problems independently later in life. 12. What does the underlined word “delegating” most probably mean? A. Assigning. B. Comparing. C. Applying. D. Linking. 13. Why did participants in Gilbert’s experiment set unnecessary digital reminders? A. They lacked confidence in their own memory. B. They were not offered enough money. C. They were poor in cognitive abilities. D. They never exercised their internal capability. 14. The author mentions the Cognitive Reflection Test to show ______. A. people rely too much on smartphones B. AI works better than human memory C. reminder bias causes harm to more than just memory D smartphones are the quickest solution to many problems 15. What is the best title of the article? A. Cognitive Offloading: The Cause of AI Reliance B. How External Aids Like AI Enhance Reminder Bias C. External Tools or Internal Tool,Which Causes More Harm D. Over-reliance on External AI Tools May Weaken Cognitive Abilities 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。 When I was growing up, my mother used to repeat to me, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” ___16___ However, over the past year, thrift (节俭) has found a new social media-inspired name: “underconsumption core”. ___17___ They remind us that we don’t need a new air fryer. Digital creator Lauren got over half a million views on a video she posted just after the New Year. “What you had in 2024still works in 2025, ” she says, showing us her blanket with a hole that she intends to sew. Underconsumption core is taking over the Internet. People are tired of the endless “links to shop”. ___18___ It couldn’t come at a better time. Social media influencers make millions each year by marketing products to their followers. If you spend any time on Tik Tok, you’ll probably recognize the sound of an influencer’s nails against a new-in-box product that is a must-have, or you may have seen a woman unloading a massive bag of Zara clothes on the floor before displaying them. The pressure to buy is everywhere. ___19___ The effects of this kind of push to consume are significant. Americans threw 11. 3 million tons of clothing into the garbage can in 2018. That’s something like 70 pounds of garbage per person per year. ___20___ Gen Zers are likely to describe their finances to be tight. The endless opportunities to compare with others on social media certainly don’t help. So it’s time for a reset. For that, taking some underconsumption lessons from our mothers may be the answer. A. This latest trend, instead, is about buying less. B. On a personal level, Gen Zers struggle with their finances. C. Content creators are doing their best to advocate such an idea. D. Individually, Gen Zers are satisfied with the standard of living. E. This trend features influencers showing their widened interests. F. There are always some products that everyone seemingly should have. G. Being a thrifty mom and passing the practice on to her kid is nothing new. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always been fascinated by mountains.

That night, I journaled: “Life’s summits aren’t about reaching the top, but discovering the ____33____ we carry within.” The mountain had transformed from a challenge into a mirror, reflecting my hidden courage. Now, whenever I face difficulties, I recall the rain-soaked ____34____ and the elderly hiker’s smile. They remind me that every struggle is a step toward understanding oneself. After all, the greatest mountains we climb are never made of rock — they are built from fear we ____35____. 21. A. designs B. heights C. width D. size 22. A. fulfilled B. forgot C. imagined D. abandoned 23. A. worry B. fear C. anticipation D. shock 24. A. pleasant B. boring C. tiring D. disappointing 25. A. Therefore B. Otherwise C. Meanwhile D.

Once outside, she handed me a brown paper bag that held something that smelled like wet dirt.” We need to plant bulbs (球茎) before the first hard freeze. I have already dug the holes.” she said. “So take each bulb from the bag, drop it in the hole, and then gently push the dirt back into the hole covering the bulb — like so.” I opened the bag. “These bulbs are ugly and look dead!” “You’re right. They’re not at all pretty. But they’re not dead; they’re just sleeping until spring.” “And all the bulbs look alike,” I continued. “How do we know what they’ll look like next spring?” “We won’t know for sure until spring, but that’s the joy of gardening. We’ll just have to be patient.” All winter long I hoped that the flowers would bloom some day. One day in late April, I found some pink pushing up through the ground. My mother was excited when I showed her. “Perfect!” she said. “They’ll be ready at just the right time.” A few days later, she took me to the local store where she gathered up colored paper, colored ribbons, and all the baskets on sale. “Okay, now we’re ready to make May baskets.” “May baskets? What are May baskets?” “They are small baskets filled with fresh flowers and secretly left at someone’s front door.” Her eyes shone with delight. “So when we get home we’ll cut the flowers that are blooming in the garden to make May baskets. Then tomorrow, May first, we’ll get up early and take them to our neighbors. Doesn’t that sound like fun?” “But I waited all winter for the flowers to bloom, and they’re so beautiful. And... and... I thought we would keep them forever,” I said, close to tears. “I know you’re disappointed, sweetie, but flowers — like kindness — are meant to be shared. Their beauty is not ours to keep. You understand?” my mother replied in a tender voice. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “No! I don’t understand. I want to keep the flowers.” I protested. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shortly after dawn the next morning, our journey began through the neighborhood with May baskets we made. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学阶段性检测 高二英语 本试卷分四个部分。满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟。 注意事项 1. 答题前，请务必将学校、姓名、准考证号填写在答题纸上。 2. 请用0.5毫米黑色签字笔按题号在答题纸指定区域作答，在其它位置作答一律无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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.

Two students — Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews — decided to give it a try. The pair discussed issues faced by many people around the world to see which they could help solve. Access to cheap electricity was one that came to mind right away. That’s when Julia, who used to play lots of sports in high school, had a sudden idea: what if they were able to capture (捕获) some of the energy that is generated when people play sports? Maybe they could turn it into electricity. Given its popularity among both young and old all over the world, soccer seemed to be the natural choice, and the ball the perfect thing to do it with! They tried their ideas out first by sticking a shake-to-charge flashlight they had bought inside a small, hollow ball. Then they kicked it around to see if the flashlight would pick up the charge (电荷). The version they produced after that was an improved one. A mechanism inside the ball captured the energy created as the ball moved, which could then be turned into electricity. They made a number of these balls which were tested by delighted kids at the World Cup Soccer Championships. Just under 150g heavier than a regulation soccer ball, the Soccket football had the capacity to store enough energy to power up a small lamp for three hours following just 30 minutes of play. They then worked on the first Soccket football to be produced in large numbers. The latest model is said to be six to seven times more energy efficient than the original. And the Soccket is not their only idea — having succeeded with the Soccket, they have many similar ideas combining fun and function. Of course, they plan to develop these. As Silverman says: “Just because we get older doesn’t mean we have to stop playing, and just because we need important things in life, like electricity, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun producing them.” 4. The unusual engineering class mentioned in the first paragraph ______. A. is related to soccer B. is designed for electrical engineers C. admits non-engineers so long as they love sports D. encourages learning to solve real-world problems 5. What is the primary purpose of this article? A. To explain how to charge soccer balls with electricity. B. To introduce an amazing invention with soccer balls. C. To discuss the global shortage of electricity. D. To show how soccer changes two students’ life. 6. What do we know about the Soccket football? A. It can flash when kicked around. B. It is being used in professional soccer matches. C. It is the combined product of love and imagination. D. It is created to turn electrical energy into other energy. 7. Why does the author quote Silverman at the end of the passage? A. To praise Julia and Jessica’s contribution to the world. B. To explain the function of Julia and Jessica’s product. C. To highlight Julia and Jessica’s personal character of helpfulness. D. To demonstrate the philosophy behind Julia and Jessica’s practice. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了两名学生在一门特殊的工程课上，发明了能将踢球时产生的能量转化为电能的Soccket足球，以及这项发明背后的理念与后续发展。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It all began at an unusual engineering class where non-engineers were challenged to combine art and science to help the world. (这一切都始于一门特殊的工程课，在这门课上，非工程师专业的学生们受到挑战，要结合艺术与科学来帮助世界)”可知，这门课的目的是鼓励学生运用知识解决现实世界中的问题。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They tried their ideas out first by sticking a shake-to-charge flashlight they had bought inside a small, hollow ball.(他们首先把买来的手摇充电手电筒放进一个小空心球里来测试想法)”、“A mechanism inside the ball captured the energy created as the ball moved, which could then be turned into electricity. (球内的一个装置会捕捉球运动时产生的能量，这些能量随后可以被转化为电能)”、第四段“The latest model is said to be six to seven times more energy efficient than the original. (据说最新型号的能量效率是最初版本的六到七倍)”及通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Julia Silverman和Jessica Matthews发明的Soccket足球，这是一项能将运动能量转化为电能的神奇发明。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“That’s when Julia, who used to play lots of sports in high school, had a sudden idea (就在那时，曾经在高中时经常参加各种体育运动的朱莉娅突然有了一个想法)”及第三段“A mechanism inside the ball captured the energy created as the ball moved, which could then be turned into electricity. (球内的一个装置会捕捉球运动时产生的能量，这些能量随后可以被转化为电能)”可知，Soccket足球是热爱与想象力结合的产物。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And the Soccket is not their only idea — having succeeded with the Soccket, they have many similar ideas combining fun and function. Of course, they plan to develop these. As Silverman says: “Just because we get older doesn’t mean we have to stop playing, and just because we need important things in life, like electricity, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun producing them.” (Soccket并不是她们唯一的想法，在Soccket上取得成功后，她们还有许多类似的想法，都兼具趣味性和实用性。当然，她们计划将这些想法都付诸实践。正如Silverman所说：“我们长大并不意味着必须停止玩耍，我们生活中需要像电这样重要的东西，也不意味着我们不能在创造它们的过程中享受乐趣。”)”可知，这句话阐释了她们发明实践背后的理念：在解决严肃问题的同时也能享受乐趣。故选D。 C For sports fans, attending a live match with their favorite team playing is exciting. For the visually challenged, however, this usually means giving up the commentary (解说) from TV broadcasts and relying on their companions to know what’s going on in the game. Hoping to change the situation, OneCourt has created a clever tactile (触觉的) device, aiming to make the excitement of live sports accessible to all. The device, a tactile display, is designed to sit comfortably on the user’s lap. Its surface is a faithful copy of the game field or court, with the plays being turned into vibrations (震动) that fans can follow with their fingertips. As the ball moves across the court or field, the corresponding vibration on the device also shifts position. Currently, the device supports three popular sports: basketball, football, and baseball, the latter of which was put to the test during the MLB’s 2024 All-Star Weekend, proving its functionality and reliability. OneCourt explains that they collect ball and player positional data tracked at the league level. This data is then translated into a special tactile language, which is presented as trackable vibrations on the device’s surface. Recently, the Portland Trail Blazers became the first NBA team to partner with OneCourt. The device is available at home games at no additional cost. The team welcomed blind Paralympian Anthony S. Ferraro to show the device at work. While using it, the athlete was excited to discover how quickly the players were moving on the court. “This was a life-changing experience, and I can’t wait until devices like this are applied across the board in all sports and events,” Ferraro said. The device is of great help to the visually challenged following a game at home, but it really shines at an in-stadium event, where fans can take in the live game in front of them and feel the energy of like-minded sports fans. 8. Why does the author mention “commentary from TV broadcasts” in paragraph 1? A. To show the awkward situation the visually challenged face. B. To introduce the popularity that TV sports broadcasts enjoy. C. To highlight the role live sports commentary plays in a match. D. To compare different ways that people follow sports games. 9. What is special about the tactile device’s surface design? A. It connects to smartphones for voice guidance. B. It adjusts its shape according to different sports rules. C. It displays real-time player data through visual signals. D. It copies the game field and uses vibrations to present plays. 10. What does the example of MLB’s 2024 All-Star Weekend show? A. The device is adaptable to many sports. B. Baseball enjoys a growing popularity among fans. C. The device is considered both practical and reliable. D. More data support is badly needed from sports leagues. 11. What can be inferred about the tactile device from the last paragraph? A. It requires further development to support more sports. B. It may become more widely used in various sports events. C. It is currently available at most NBA teams’ home games. D. It will soon replace TV commentary for the visually challenged. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了OneCourt开发的触觉设备，通过震动模拟球场动态，帮助视障人士实时感受篮球、足球和棒球比赛，已在NBA和MLB赛事中测试应用，获残奥运动员高度评价。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For sports fans, attending a live match with their favorite team playing is exciting. For the visually challenged, however, this usually means giving up the commentary (解说) from TV broadcasts and relying on their companions to know what’s going on in the game. Hoping to change the situation, OneCourt has created a clever tactile (触觉的) device, aiming to make the excitement of live sports accessible to all.(对于体育迷来说，与自己支持的球队一起观看现场比赛是一件令人兴奋的事情。然而，对于视力有障碍的人来说，这通常意味着要放弃电视转播中的解说内容，而要依靠同伴来了解比赛的进展情况。为了改变这种状况，OneCourt公司研发了一种巧妙的触觉设备，旨在让所有人都能享受到现场体育赛事的精彩)”可知推，文章第一段提到电视转播中的解说内容是为了说明视力障碍者在观看体育赛事时所面临的尴尬处境，从而引出下文设备。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Its surface is a faithful copy of the game field or court, with the plays being turned into vibrations (震动) that fans can follow with their fingertips. As the ball moves across the court or field, the corresponding vibration on the device also shifts position.(其表面与比赛场地或球场的形状完全一致，比赛中的动作会转化为振动，球迷们可以通过指尖感受到这些振动。当球在球场或场地上来回移动时，设备上的相应振动位置也会随之变化)”可知，触觉设备的表面设计复制了比赛场地，并通过震动来展示比赛情况。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Currently, the device supports three popular sports: basketball, football, and baseball, the latter of which was put to the test during the MLB’s 2024 All-Star Weekend, proving its functionality and reliability.(目前，该设备支持三项流行的运动：篮球、足球和棒球。其中棒球这项运动在2024年美国职业棒球大联盟全明星周末期间进行了测试，证明了其功能性和可靠性)”可知，作者引用2024年美国职业棒球大联盟全明星周末比赛作为例子，说明该设备被认为既实用又可靠。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The device is available at home games at no additional cost.(该设备在主场赛事中是免费提供的，无需额外付费)”及““This was a life-changing experience, and I can’t wait until devices like this are applied across the board in all sports and events,” Ferraro said.(费拉罗表示：“这是一次改变人生的经历，我迫不及待地希望这类设备能在所有体育赛事和活动中全面普及。”)”可推知，该设备在未来有可能会在各类体育赛事中得到更广泛的应用。故选B。 D Cognitive (认知的) offloading, the act of delegating mental work to external tools, should concern anyone who values their own intelligence. When given the choice between thinking through a problem or letting technology handle it, will we choose the tool, even when we’re perfectly capable of succeeding on our own? Sam Gilbert noticed in his experiments something he calls “reminder bias.” This is the tendency to use external memory aids even when your own memory would serve you better. Participants chose to set digital reminders for tasks they could easily remember unaided. Even when offered money to encourage people to rely on their own memory, they still couldn’t overcome it. The root reason seems to be that people underestimate their own cognitive abilities. They think they’ll forget, so they set a reminder. They think they can’t solve the problem, so they ask AI. Over time, by consistently choosing the external tool, they never exercise the internal capability. If the problem were limited to memory, it might not matter much. After all, what’s the problem with setting a reminder on your phone? But research suggests the cognitive costs extend far beyond remembering appointments. Nathaniel Barr claimed that individuals who score lower on the Cognitive Reflection Test show greater smartphone dependence when obtaining information. These are people who, when faced with a problem, instinctively (本能地) reach for the quickest solution. AI hasn’t created this tendency. Humans have often preferred mental shortcuts. But AI has removed nearly all difficulties. You don’t have to go to a library or even type a search question. You just ask, and the answer appears, exactly as you need it. My concern is that people may begin using AI in ways that prevent the development of analytical skills. For a college student who consistently uses AI to work through problems, I question whether they’re building the neural infrastructure (神经基础结构) to handle similar problems independently later in life. 12. What does the underlined word “delegating” most probably mean? A. Assigning. B. Comparing. C. Applying. D. Linking. 13. Why did participants in Gilbert’s experiment set unnecessary digital reminders? A. They lacked confidence in their own memory. B. They were not offered enough money. C. They were poor in cognitive abilities. D. They never exercised their internal capability. 14. The author mentions the Cognitive Reflection Test to show ______. A. people rely too much on smartphones B. AI works better than human memory C. reminder bias causes harm to more than just memory D. smartphones are the quickest solution to many problems 15 What is the best title of the article? A. Cognitive Offloading: The Cause of AI Reliance B. How External Aids Like AI Enhance Reminder Bias C. External Tools or Internal Tool,Which Causes More Harm D. Over-reliance on External AI Tools May Weaken Cognitive Abilities 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是过度依赖外部工具（尤其是人工智能）对人类认知能力的潜在负面影响。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“to external tools(给外部工具)”和“When given the choice between thinking through a problem or letting technology handle it(当面临“独立思考解决问题”与“让技术代劳”的选择时)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“将脑力劳动委托给外部工具的行为”，delegating的意思是“委托”，和assigning意思相近。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The root reason seems to be that people underestimate their own cognitive abilities. They think they’ll forget, so they set a reminder. They think they can’t solve the problem, so they ask AI.(根本原因似乎在于人们低估了自己的认知能力。他们担心遗忘，于是设置提醒；认为自己无法解决问题，于是求助人工智能。)”可知，吉尔伯特实验中的参与者会设置不必要的数字提醒是因为他们对自己的记忆力缺乏信心。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But research suggests the cognitive costs extend far beyond remembering appointments.(但研究表明，认知成本远不止于记住约会。)”和第五段“Nathaniel Barr claimed that individuals who score lower on the Cognitive Reflection Test show greater smartphone dependence when obtaining information.(Nathaniel Barr指出，在认知反射测试中得分较低的人，在获取信息时对智能手机的依赖性更强。)”可知，作者提到认知反射测试是为了说明提醒偏差的危害不仅限于记忆。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“My concern is that people may begin using AI in ways that prevent the development of analytical skills. For a college student who consistently uses AI to work through problems, I question whether they’re building the neural infrastructure (神经基础结构) to handle similar problems independently later in life.(我担忧的是，人们可能开始以阻碍分析能力发展的方式使用人工智能。例如，若一名大学生始终依赖人工智能解决问题，我不禁质疑：他们是否正在构建处理同类问题的神经基础结构，以在未来独立应对类似挑战？)”可知，本文主要讲的是过度依赖外部工具（尤其是人工智能）对人类认知能力的潜在负面影响，因此最好的标题是D选项“Over-reliance on External AI Tools May Weaken Cognitive Abilities(过度依赖外部AI工具可能削弱认知能力)”。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When I was growing up, my mother used to repeat to me, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” ___16___ However, over the past year, thrift (节俭) has found a new social media-inspired name: “underconsumption core”. ___17___ They remind us that we don’t need a new air fryer. Digital creator Lauren got over half a million views on a video she posted just after the New Year. “What you had in 2024still works in 2025, ” she says, showing us her blanket with a hole that she intends to sew. Underconsumption core is taking over the Internet. People are tired of the endless “links to shop”. ___18___ It couldn’t come at a better time. Social media influencers make millions each year by marketing products to their followers. If you spend any time on Tik Tok, you’ll probably recognize the sound of an influencer’s nails against a new-in-box product that is a must-have, or you may have seen a woman unloading a massive bag of Zara clothes on the floor before displaying them. The pressure to buy is everywhere. ___19___ The effects of this kind of push to consume are significant. Americans threw 11. 3 million tons of clothing into the garbage can in 2018. That’s something like 70 pounds of garbage per person per year. ___20___ Gen Zers are likely to describe their finances to be tight. The endless opportunities to compare with others on social media certainly don’t help. So it’s time for a reset. For that, taking some underconsumption lessons from our mothers may be the answer. A. This latest trend, instead, is about buying less. B. On a personal level, Gen Zers struggle with their finances. C. Content creators are doing their best to advocate such an idea. D. Individually, Gen Zers are satisfied with the standard of living. E. This trend features influencers showing their widened interests. F. There are always some products that everyone seemingly should have. G. Being a thrifty mom and passing the practice on to her kid is nothing new. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. A 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了从传统的节俭观念到现代社交媒体上兴起的“低消费主义核”这一新趋势的转变。文章建议从传统的节俭智慧中汲取教训，以实现一种更为可持续和平衡的消费方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When I was growing up, my mother used to repeat to me, “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” (在我成长的过程中，母亲总是反复教导我：“用完它，用坏它，改造它，或者就不要用了。”)”可知，作者的母亲过去常常对他说“用完它，用坏它，改造它，或者就不要用了”，这是关于节俭的一种说法；G选项“Being a thrifty mom and passing the practice on to her kid is nothing new(当个节俭的妈妈并将这种做法传给她的孩子，这并不新鲜)”承接上文，强调了这种节俭观念的传承性，与前文形成逻辑上的衔接，符合题意。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“They remind us that we don’t need a new air fryer. (他们提醒我们不需要一个新的空气炸锅)”，并以及““What you had in 2024still works in 2025, ” she says, showing us her blanket with a hole that she intends to sew.(“2024 年用的东西到了 2025 年依然适用，”她说道，并向我们展示她那有一处破洞、打算补上的毯子。)”举例说明内容创作者Lauren的视频观点，这些都是在倡导减少消费的理念；C选项“Content creators are doing their best to advocate such an idea(内容创作者正尽最大努力倡导这样的理念)”正好概括了下文的内容，说明内容创作者正在积极推广减少消费的理念，符合题意。故选C。 【18题详解】 上文提到“People are tired of the endless “links to shop”. (人们厌倦了无尽的“购物链接”)”，下文提到“ It couldn’t come at a better time.(这再好不过了)”以及“ Social media influencers make millions each year by marketing products to their followers. (社交媒体上的网红们每年通过向粉丝推销产品而赚取数百万的收入。)”可知，此处描述了社交媒体上充斥着各种营销产品的现象；A选项“This latest trend, instead, is about buying less(这个最新的趋势，相反，是关于买得更少)”与上文形成因果关系，即厌倦了无尽的购物链接，由此买的更少；同时和下文形成对比，指出当前的趋势是减少购买，符合题意。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据前文“If you spend any time on Tik Tok, you’ll probably recognize the sound of an influencer’s nails against a new-in-box product that is a must-have, or you may have seen a woman unloading a massive bag of Zara clothes on the floor before displaying them. The pressure to buy is everywhere.( 如果你在 Tik Tok 上花过时间，你可能会听到网红用指甲刮擦新包装商品的声音，那商品肯定是必备之物；或者你可能见过一位女士把一大袋 Zara 的衣服从袋子里倒出来摊在地上，然后展示出来。到处都充斥着购买的压力。)”可知，前文通过举例提到社交媒体上充斥着各种营销产品的现象，并指出“购买的压力无处不在”；F选项“There are always some products that everyone seemingly should have(总有一些产品，似乎每个人都应该拥有)”正好解释了为什么购买的压力无处不在，因为总有一些产品被认为是必需品，符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Americans threw 11. 3 million tons of clothing into the garbage can in 2018. That’s something like 70 pounds of garbage per person per year(2018 年，美国人将 1130 万吨衣物扔进了垃圾桶。这相当于每人每年产生约 70 磅的垃圾。)”可知，此处提到美国人每年扔掉大量衣物，造成了巨大的影响；同时后文“Gen Zers are likely to describe their finances to be tight. (Z世代可能会说他们的财务状况很紧张)”指出Gen Z人可能认为自己的经济状况紧张；B选项“On a personal level, Gen Zers struggle with their finances(在个人层面，Z世代正与他们的财务作斗争)”正好承接上文，并引出下文关于Z世代财务困境的讨论，符合题意。故选B。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always been fascinated by mountains.

Once outside, she handed me a brown paper bag that held something that smelled like wet dirt.” We need to plant bulbs (球茎) before the first hard freeze. I have already dug the holes.” she said. “So take each bulb from the bag, drop it in the hole, and then gently push the dirt back into the hole covering the bulb — like so.” I opened the bag. “These bulbs are ugly and look dead!” “You’re right. They’re not at all pretty. But they’re not dead; they’re just sleeping until spring.” “And all the bulbs look alike,” I continued. “How do we know what they’ll look like next spring?” “We won’t know for sure until spring, but that’s the joy of gardening. We’ll just have to be patient.” All winter long I hoped that the flowers would bloom some day. One day in late April, I found some pink pushing up through the ground. My mother was excited when I showed her. “Perfect!” she said. “They’ll be ready at just the right time.” A few days later, she took me to the local store where she gathered up colored paper, colored ribbons, and all the baskets on sale. “Okay, now we’re ready to make May baskets.” “May baskets? What are May baskets?” “They are small baskets filled with fresh flowers and secretly left at someone’s front door.” Her eyes shone with delight. “So when we get home we’ll cut the flowers that are blooming in the garden to make May baskets. Then tomorrow, May first, we’ll get up early and take them to our neighbors. Doesn’t that sound like fun?” “But I waited all winter for the flowers to bloom, and they’re so beautiful. And... and... I thought we would keep them forever,” I said, close to tears. “I know you’re disappointed, sweetie, but flowers — like kindness — are meant to be shared. Their beauty is not ours to keep. You understand?” my mother replied in a tender voice. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 “No! I don’t understand. I want to keep the flowers.” I protested. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shortly after dawn the next morning, our journey began through the neighborhood with May baskets we made. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： “No! I don’t understand. I want to keep the flowers forever.” I protested. Noticing my obvious reluctance, Mom knelt down and petted my face, “I know you do, sweetie. But in the end, you’ll understand that every drop of kindness you give away returns to you in another way. Just wait and see.” So later that afternoon, we cut most of the flowers from the garden, tied them with colored ribbons, wrapped them in colored paper, and then placed them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh overnight. Afterward, I headed to bed, but all night the uneasiness of losing those beautiful flowers gripped my heart, making it hard for me to fall asleep. Shortly after dawn the next morning, our journey began through the neighborhood with May baskets we made. At each house, we hid behind our neighbors’ bushes. I ran to the front door, left the basket and then rang the doorbell, giggling as I ran for cover. When I saw our neighbors’ faces cracked into delighted smiles because of those anonymous May baskets, a surge of pride and happiness flooded in waves. My mother was right — every drop of kindness you give away returns to you in another way. 【解析】 【导语】本文以种植的花为线索展开，讲述作者和妈妈冬天种球茎，春天花开后，妈妈提议用花做五月花篮送给邻居，作者因不舍而难过。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘不！我不明白。我想把花留下来。’我抗议道。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈耐心安抚作者，作者虽不情愿但还是和妈妈一起准备花篮，内心满是不舍。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天黎明刚过，我们就带着做好的五月花篮踏上了在社区的旅程。”可知，第二段可描写作者和妈妈送花篮的过程，以及作者看到邻居开心的样子后内心的转变。 2. 续写线索：作者抗议留花——妈妈安抚劝说——制作五月花篮——清晨送花篮——作者体会到分享快乐 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①注意到：notice/observe ②包裹：wrap/package ③送出：give away/send out 情绪类 ①开心：delighted/pleased ②高兴：happiness/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] Noticing my obvious reluctance, Mom knelt down and petted my face, “I know you do, sweetie.
