A New History of Race, by Andrew S. Curran In this new history, Curran offers a fascinating reassessment of that heady era of Western philosophy: how its towering thinkers came to invent the very idea of race as we know it today, and how that biological division of humanity came to be passed down, quite misleadingly, as some sort of permanent truth. A Journey into Consciousness, by Michael Pollan Few journalists have spent as much time as Pollan thinking about the kinds of stuff we put into our bodies. In The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Pollan has considered food intensively from every angle as well as substances such as caffeine and mind-altering plants. Now, Pollan is training his focus on thinking itself. His new book explores our understanding of what it means to, well, understand — a concept that’s crucial to our notion of what it means to be human. I Give You My Silence, by Mario Vargas Llosa “Each book, for me, has been an adventure,” Vargas Llosa told NPR after he won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature. Perhaps it’s fitting that the fruit of his final adventure, I Give You My Silence, reaches English-language readers only after his death last year at age 89. Vargas Llosa’s last novel centers a professor seeking the soul of his country in music. Published in Spanish in 2023, the book is now being brought to English readers by way of Adrian Nathan West, who also translated 2021’s Harsh Times. 21. What do we know about Andrew S. Curran’s book? A. It argues that race is a biological truth of humans. B. It focuses on the lifestyle of the towering thinkers. C. It studies how the idea of race was created and spread. D. It highly praises Western philosophers’ important ideas. 22. Which book focuses on the exploration of human thinking? A. A Journey into Consciousness. B. The Omnivore’s Dilemma. C. A New History of Race. D. I Give You My Silence. 23. Where could you probably read the article? A. In a novel. B. In a travel guide. C. In a research paper. D. In a book review section. B Several years ago, I went through a bad period. I was beaten down by loneliness and marriage problems, and our house was constantly going through construction. To top it all off, my illness became so severe that I spent a life-threatening week in the hospital, part of the time in an unconscious state. After an amazing escape from death, it became clear to me: My number should have been called, but I was still here. There must be a reason. I needed to set my life on a better track. But what could I do? The only thing I had control over was my response to situations. Instead of letting all the failures beat me up, I could celebrate the good things. But how? I’d always enjoyed photography, but in the mess of life, I had pushed it aside. I brought my camera back out and decided to capture one special moment every day with a photo. By the end of the year, I would have 365 good memories recorded. In the end, there were plenty of days when I didn’t get a photo, but many days when I did. And as I looked through the growing number of pictures, new thought patterns began to emerge. I had proof of joyful moments. The photos helped draw me out of a well of negativity. My problems were real, but they weren’t everything. I had been so focused on things not working and not happening in the correct order and time that I forgot how many good things were occurring all around me. There were still times when the days felt hopeless, but I gradually picked up on signs of lightheartedness, like golden threads (线) woven through a plain cloth. And the more I looked for them, the more common they seemed to become. Now, our house is almost fixed, our marriage is going strong, and I’m working toward the career I used to dream about but didn’t pursue. The daily photos didn’t make that all happen, but they did give me a bright light to focus on when all other things were dark. 24. What made the author decide to change her life? A. Her success in photography. B. The improvement of her marriage. C. The completion of house construction. D. Her unexpected survival from a serious illness. 25. What was the direct effect of the author’s daily photo project on her? A. It helped shift her focus from negativity. B. It required her to capture beautiful photos. C. It immediately solved her marriage problems. D. It turned her into a professional photographer. 26. Which word can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Flexible. C. Dependable. D. Ambitious. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Constant dropping wears the stone. D. A picture is worth a thousand words. C Whether it’s donuts, burgers, or ice creams, there are always some people willing to line up for hours to get a taste of the latest food. What these people might not realize, however, is that those treats are even more psychologically rewarding after they’ve waited hours in line. But why do we enjoy things more when we’ve had to suffer for them? It’s a question that’s puzzled neuroscientists for decades, but research published in Nature is throwing light on this phenomenon. This kind of sunk-cost fallacy (沉没成本谬误) is the tendency to persist with a failing course of action due to prior investments of time, money or effort. It isn’t just a common trap in the business world, it also spreads all over the animal world. Organisms from ants to human beings tend to value those things they had to work for more than those that came easily. It seems counterintuitive (有悖常理的) from an evolutionary view — after all, why would we be hard-wired to put more suffering on ourselves? The answer, according to Shnei, involves our familiar friend dopamine(多巴胺). In an earlier study, Shnei and his colleagues discovered that mice that received a reward after overcoming a challenge released more dopamine compared to those that didn’t suffer for their treat. Now, they’ve added a new piece to the puzzle: according to their latest research, dopamine’s role as a satisfaction signal is even more difficult to understand than previously thought. The bigger the effort, the more dopamine is released, which in turn makes the reward seem more valuable, explaining the satisfaction we feel after finally getting our hands on that donut we’ve been waiting in line for. But why does this happen in the first place? Shnei has some ideas: in an environment with limited resources, where rewards are often hard to come by, it makes sense to prioritize those that require more effort. Because dopamine strengthens the behavior, it may be that we’re hard-wired to value things more when we’ve suffered for them — even if that suffering was entirely unnecessary. The next time you’re waiting in line for a donut, just remember: it might not be the snack that’s worth the wait — it’s your brain playing tricks on you. 28. According to the passage, which of the following is an example of the “sunk-cost fallacy”? A. Choosing a cheaper but less tasty restaurant. B. Sitting through an expensive but terrible movie. C. Buying a new phone since the old one is out of style. D. Taking a taxi instead of waiting for a never-coming bus. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. More effort leads to greater reward value. B. Dopamine has no connection with the effort. C. Mice do not experience the sunk-cost fallacy. D. Mice prefer easy rewards over hard-earned ones. 30. What does the author think of waiting in line for a snack? A. The snack’s taste brings real satisfaction. B. The waiting process is of great importance. C. The tasty snack is well worth the long wait. D. The satisfaction comes from one’s brain reaction. D A new study suggests that the people who reach the top of their fields typically were all involved in multiple disciplines when they were young. Young prodigies (奇才) — the teenage sports stars, the high schoolers bursting into the chess ranks, the kids making scientific discoveries — are usually not the same as late bloomers who reach the pinnacle of their fields in adulthood, according to a new study. And the two groups begin their journeys in very different ways. The study, published on Thursday in the journal Science, found that achievement in youth typically starts with a focus on one thing: A pianist plays no other instrument; a swimmer stays in the pool. But the people who achieve the most later in life typically start with less singular intensity, engaging across multiple disciplines, and less early success. “When comparing performers across the highest levels of achievement,” the researchers wrote, “the evidence suggests that eventual peak performance is negatively associated with early performance.” There are exceptions, of course, those rising stars who end up exploring the outer limits of human capacity. Just look at Simone Biles or Mozart, whose exceptional abilities were evident in childhood. They found that people who reach the pinnacle of their own field — whether athletes, scientists or artists — typically plied (从事) a variety of disciplines in childhood and advanced more slowly, and their eventual field was never a narrow focus from the start. Aaron Clifton, a professor at the Karolinska Institute, noted: “Across very different disciplines, very different profiles, very different skills and very different ages of peak performance, the rate of development of the best performers is very similar.” The patterns were visible between the most leading performers and the people just below them; think Nobel winners and those who were awarded by national-level prize. Both groups are high-achieving, but the people who reach the absolute peak — the Nobel laureates — generally showed the more gradual progression with a later, slower but multidisciplinary start. “There’s something hopeful here for those of us who were not child prodigies,” said Dean Keith Simonton, an emeritus professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis. But the study also has its limitations. The research focused on fields where performance can be measured clearly — sports, music and science. It may not apply to other areas, like business or politics. The researchers were also, importantly, studying the extremes: the very best of the best. These are not random people; they are the ones stuck with their chosen activity. 31. What does the underlined word “pinnacle” in Paragraph 1 mostly mean? A. The new height. B. The severe issue. C. The highest point. D. The point of failure. 32. What can we learn from the research in the passage? A. Adult achievers have great early success. B. Prodigies have higher success than adult achievers. C. Prodigies focus on multiple disciplines in their early age. D. Adult achievers have broad exploration when they’re young. 33. What’s the relationship between early performance and eventual peak performance? A. They are a little associated. B. They are negatively correlated. C. The correlation varies by profession. D. There is no correlation between them. 34. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To highlight the study’s limitations. B. To compare sports and science careers. C. To introduce a new study on peak achievers. D. To criticize the pursuit of early achievements. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Over the summer, Ohio State University announced a new initiative promising to “integrate AI education into the core of every undergraduate curriculum.” Similar initiatives are being rolled out at other universities. ____35____ Based on the available evidence, the skills that future graduates will most need in the AI era are precisely those that are likely to be weakened by inserting AI into the educational process. Students must be able to ask AI questions, critically analyze its written responses, identify possible weaknesses or inaccuracies, and integrate new information with existing knowledge. Each of these skills comes from years of sustained educational development. ____36____ “I find that careful use of AI helps me at work, but that is because I completed my education decades ago and have been actively studying ever since,” the sociologist Gabriel Rossman has written. “My accumulated knowledge gives me inspiration for new research questions and techniques.” Will the AI-integrated education develop these skills? ____37____ For example, a team of scientists at MIT recently divided subjects into three groups and asked them to write a number of short essays over the course of several months. The first group used ChatGPT to assist its writing, the second used Google Search, and the third used no technology. They found that the subjects that used ChatGPT produced vague, poorly reasoned essays and showed the lowest levels of brain activity. ____38____ Other studies have found a negative correlation between AI use and cognitive abilities. ____39____ The most responsible way for colleges to prepare students for the future is to teach AI skills only after building a solid foundation of basic cognitive (认知的) ability and advanced disciplinary knowledge. A. This is how innovation happens. B. These findings raise serious doubts about the push. C. A growing body of research suggests that it will not. D. We should engage in cautious and reasoned thinking. E. Some experts argue for a complete ban on AI in educational settings. F. But such policies represent a dangerously rapid and uninformed response to the technology. G. They tended to compose their work simply by cutting and pasting (粘贴) material from other sources. 第三部分 书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节 （共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 When I was in high school, I dreamed of joining the school’s debate team. I admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and I hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. However, I was a shy girl who dared not even answer questions in class, let alone argue with others in a formal debate. I summoned up my courage to try out for the debate team. Unfortunately, I froze on stage, forgot my prepared speech, and ran off in embarrassment. My classmates tried to comfort me, but I felt so defeated that I decided to give up my dream. I thought persistence (坚持) was meaningless when I lacked the natural talent. My teacher noticed my low spirits and shared her own story with me. She told me she had failed three times before passing her teacher qualification exam, but she never stopped practicing her teaching skills. Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure. I started to practice every day. I read debate articles to learn logical expressions, recorded myself speaking to correct my tone, and asked my teacher and classmates for feedback. At first, I still made mistakes and felt frustrated, but I refused to quit this time. The next year, I attended the audition again. This time, I stayed calm, expressed my views clearly, and responded to the judges’ questions smoothly. I was finally admitted to the debate team. Later, we even won the second prize in the city’s high school debate competition. Looking back, I realized that persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. Only by combining persistence with practical efforts can we turn our dreams into reality. 40. Why did the author want to join the debate team? ________________________________________________________ 41. What effect did the teacher’s words have on the author? ________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. ________________________________________________________ 43. Please share one of your own experiences about the application of persistence in your daily life.

A New History of Race, by Andrew S. Curran In this new history, Curran offers a fascinating reassessment of that heady era of Western philosophy: how its towering thinkers came to invent the very idea of race as we know it today, and how that biological division of humanity came to be passed down, quite misleadingly, as some sort of permanent truth. A Journey into Consciousness, by Michael Pollan Few journalists have spent as much time as Pollan thinking about the kinds of stuff we put into our bodies. In The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Pollan has considered food intensively from every angle as well as substances such as caffeine and mind-altering plants. Now, Pollan is training his focus on thinking itself. His new book explores our understanding of what it means to, well, understand — a concept that’s crucial to our notion of what it means to be human. I Give You My Silence, by Mario Vargas Llosa “Each book, for me, has been an adventure,” Vargas Llosa told NPR after he won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Literature. Perhaps it’s fitting that the fruit of his final adventure, I Give You My Silence, reaches English-language readers only after his death last year at age 89. Vargas Llosa’s last novel centers a professor seeking the soul of his country in music. Published in Spanish in 2023, the book is now being brought to English readers by way of Adrian Nathan West, who also translated 2021’s Harsh Times. 21. What do we know about Andrew S. Curran’s book? A. It argues that race is a biological truth of humans. B. It focuses on the lifestyle of the towering thinkers. C. It studies how the idea of race was created and spread. D. It highly praises Western philosophers’ important ideas. 22. Which book focuses on the exploration of human thinking? A. A Journey into Consciousness. B. The Omnivore’s Dilemma. C. A New History of Race. D. I Give You My Silence. 23. Where could you probably read the article? A. In a novel. B. In a travel guide. C. In a research paper. D. In a book review section. 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三本二月新出版的书籍。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据A New History of Race, by Andrew S. Curran 部分“In this new history, Curran offers a fascinating reassessment of that heady era of Western philosophy: how its towering thinkers came to invent the very idea of race as we know it today, and how that biological division of humanity came to be passed down, quite misleadingly, as some sort of permanent truth.(在这部全新史学著作中，Curran对西方哲学的那个激动人心的时代进行了引人入胜的重新评估：西方哲学的伟大思想家如何创造了我们今天所知的种族观念，以及这种对人类的生物学划分如何被误导性地作为某种永恒的真理传承下来。)”可知，Curran的书研究的是种族观念是如何产生和传播的。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据A Journey into Consciousness, by Michael Pollan 部分“Now, Pollan is training his focus on thinking itself.(现在，Pollan将注意力集中在思考本身上。)”可知，A Journey into Consciousness这本书关注人类思维的探索。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段提到“February may be short on days, but it has a long list of new books.(二月可能时间很短，但它有很多新书。)”，接着文章介绍了三本新书，由此可知，这篇文章可能出现在书评部分。故选D。 B Several years ago, I went through a bad period. I was beaten down by loneliness and marriage problems, and our house was constantly going through construction. To top it all off, my illness became so severe that I spent a life-threatening week in the hospital, part of the time in an unconscious state. After an amazing escape from death, it became clear to me: My number should have been called, but I was still here. There must be a reason. I needed to set my life on a better track. But what could I do? The only thing I had control over was my response to situations. Instead of letting all the failures beat me up, I could celebrate the good things. But how? I’d always enjoyed photography, but in the mess of life, I had pushed it aside. I brought my camera back out and decided to capture one special moment every day with a photo. By the end of the year, I would have 365 good memories recorded. In the end, there were plenty of days when I didn’t get a photo, but many days when I did. And as I looked through the growing number of pictures, new thought patterns began to emerge. I had proof of joyful moments. The photos helped draw me out of a well of negativity. My problems were real, but they weren’t everything. I had been so focused on things not working and not happening in the correct order and time that I forgot how many good things were occurring all around me. There were still times when the days felt hopeless, but I gradually picked up on signs of lightheartedness, like golden threads (线) woven through a plain cloth. And the more I looked for them, the more common they seemed to become. Now, our house is almost fixed, our marriage is going strong, and I’m working toward the career I used to dream about but didn’t pursue. The daily photos didn’t make that all happen, but they did give me a bright light to focus on when all other things were dark. 24. What made the author decide to change her life? A. Her success in photography. B. The improvement of her marriage. C. The completion of house construction. D. Her unexpected survival from a serious illness. 25. What was the direct effect of the author’s daily photo project on her? A. It helped shift her focus from negativity. B. It required her to capture beautiful photos. C. It immediately solved her marriage problems. D. It turned her into a professional photographer. 26. Which word can best describe the author? A. Creative. B. Flexible. C. Dependable. D. Ambitious. 27. What can we learn from the passage? A. Many hands make light work. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. Constant dropping wears the stone. D. A picture is worth a thousand words. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在经历了一段艰难时期后，通过每天拍摄一张照片来记录生活中的美好瞬间，从而逐渐走出阴霾，积极面对生活的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To top it all off, my illness became so severe that I spent a life-threatening week in the hospital, part of the time in an unconscious state.(更糟糕的是，我的病情变得非常严重，在医院里度过了危及生命的一周，其中一部分时间处于无意识状态。)”以及第二段“After an amazing escape from death, it became clear to me: My number should have been called, but I was still here. There must be a reason. I needed to set my life on a better track.(在奇迹般地逃脱死亡之后，我明白了：我本应该被死神选中，但我还在这里。一定有原因。我需要让我的生活走上更好的轨道。)”可知，作者从重病中意外存活下来让她决定改变自己的生活。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“And as I looked through the growing number of pictures, new thought patterns began to emerge. I had proof of joyful moments. The photos helped draw me out of a well of negativity.(当我浏览越来越多的照片时，新的思维模式开始出现。我有快乐时刻的证据。这些照片帮助我走出了消极的深渊。)”可知，作者每天拍照的项目的直接影响是这帮助她将注意力从消极情绪上转移开。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The only thing I had control over was my response to situations. Instead of letting all the failures beat me up, I could celebrate the good things. But how? I’d always enjoyed photography, but in the mess of life, I had pushed it aside. I brought my camera back out and decided to capture one special moment every day with a photo. By the end of the year, I would have 365 good memories recorded.(我唯一能控制的是我对情况的反应。与其让所有的失败打击我，我可以庆祝美好的事情。但是怎么做呢？我一直喜欢摄影，但在混乱的生活中，我把它推到了一边。我把相机拿了出来，决定每天用照片捕捉一个特别的时刻。到年底，我将有365个美好的回忆被记录下来。)”可知，作者在面对生活的困境时，能够灵活地调整自己的心态和行为，通过摄影来寻找生活中的美好，这体现了她的灵活性。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者在经历了一段艰难时期后，通过每天拍摄一张照片来记录生活中的美好瞬间，从而逐渐走出阴霾，积极面对生活的故事，这告诉我们即使在黑暗的时刻，也总有一线光明存在，只要我们积极寻找，就能发现生活中的美好，选项B“黑暗中总有一线光明”符合文章主旨。故选B。 C Whether it’s donuts, burgers, or ice creams, there are always some people willing to line up for hours to get a taste of the latest food. What these people might not realize, however, is that those treats are even more psychologically rewarding after they’ve waited hours in line. But why do we enjoy things more when we’ve had to suffer for them? It’s a question that’s puzzled neuroscientists for decades, but research published in Nature is throwing light on this phenomenon. This kind of sunk-cost fallacy (沉没成本谬误) is the tendency to persist with a failing course of action due to prior investments of time, money or effort. It isn’t just a common trap in the business world, it also spreads all over the animal world. Organisms from ants to human beings tend to value those things they had to work for more than those that came easily. It seems counterintuitive (有悖常理的) from an evolutionary view — after all, why would we be hard-wired to put more suffering on ourselves? The answer, according to Shnei, involves our familiar friend dopamine(多巴胺). In an earlier study, Shnei and his colleagues discovered that mice that received a reward after overcoming a challenge released more dopamine compared to those that didn’t suffer for their treat. Now, they’ve added a new piece to the puzzle: according to their latest research, dopamine’s role as a satisfaction signal is even more difficult to understand than previously thought. The bigger the effort, the more dopamine is released, which in turn makes the reward seem more valuable, explaining the satisfaction we feel after finally getting our hands on that donut we’ve been waiting in line for. But why does this happen in the first place? Shnei has some ideas: in an environment with limited resources, where rewards are often hard to come by, it makes sense to prioritize those that require more effort. Because dopamine strengthens the behavior, it may be that we’re hard-wired to value things more when we’ve suffered for them — even if that suffering was entirely unnecessary. The next time you’re waiting in line for a donut, just remember: it might not be the snack that’s worth the wait — it’s your brain playing tricks on you. 28. According to the passage, which of the following is an example of the “sunk-cost fallacy”? A. Choosing a cheaper but less tasty restaurant. B. Sitting through an expensive but terrible movie. C. Buying a new phone since the old one is out of style. D. Taking a taxi instead of waiting for a never-coming bus. 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. More effort leads to greater reward value. B. Dopamine has no connection with the effort. C. Mice do not experience the sunk-cost fallacy. D. Mice prefer easy rewards over hard-earned ones. 30. What does the author think of waiting in line for a snack? A. The snack’s taste brings real satisfaction. B. The waiting process is of great importance. C. The tasty snack is well worth the long wait. D. The satisfaction comes from one’s brain reaction. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了沉没成本谬误这一现象，解释人们为何会为付出大量时间、精力获得的事物赋予更高价值。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This kind of sunk-cost fallacy (沉没成本谬误) is the tendency to persist with a failing course of action due to prior investments of time, money or effort.(这种沉没成本谬误是指由于先前投入了时间、金钱或努力，而倾向于坚持一个失败的行为方向。)”可知，选项B“看完一部昂贵但糟糕的电影”正是沉没成本谬误的体现，因为尽管电影不好看，但由于已经投入了金钱和时间，人们往往会选择继续看完。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The bigger the effort, the more dopamine is released, which in turn makes the reward seem more valuable, explaining the satisfaction we feel after finally getting our hands on that donut we’ve been waiting in line for.(努力越大，释放的多巴胺就越多，这反过来又使奖励显得更有价值，解释了为什么我们在终于排到队买到那个甜甜圈后会感到满足。)”可知，更多的努力会导致更大的奖励价值。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next time you’re waiting in line for a donut, just remember: it might not be the snack that’s worth the wait — it’s your brain playing tricks on you.(下次你排队买甜甜圈时，请记住：可能不是零食值得等待，而是你的大脑在捉弄你。)”可知，作者认为排队买零食的满足感来自于大脑的反应。故选D。 D A new study suggests that the people who reach the top of their fields typically were all involved in multiple disciplines when they were young. Young prodigies (奇才) — the teenage sports stars, the high schoolers bursting into the chess ranks, the kids making scientific discoveries — are usually not the same as late bloomers who reach the pinnacle of their fields in adulthood, according to a new study. And the two groups begin their journeys in very different ways. The study, published on Thursday in the journal Science, found that achievement in youth typically starts with a focus on one thing: A pianist plays no other instrument; a swimmer stays in the pool. But the people who achieve the most later in life typically start with less singular intensity, engaging across multiple disciplines, and less early success. “When comparing performers across the highest levels of achievement,” the researchers wrote, “the evidence suggests that eventual peak performance is negatively associated with early performance.” There are exceptions, of course, those rising stars who end up exploring the outer limits of human capacity. Just look at Simone Biles or Mozart, whose exceptional abilities were evident in childhood. They found that people who reach the pinnacle of their own field — whether athletes, scientists or artists — typically plied (从事) a variety of disciplines in childhood and advanced more slowly, and their eventual field was never a narrow focus from the start. Aaron Clifton, a professor at the Karolinska Institute, noted: “Across very different disciplines, very different profiles, very different skills and very different ages of peak performance, the rate of development of the best performers is very similar.” The patterns were visible between the most leading performers and the people just below them; think Nobel winners and those who were awarded by national-level prize. Both groups are high-achieving, but the people who reach the absolute peak — the Nobel laureates — generally showed the more gradual progression with a later, slower but multidisciplinary start. “There’s something hopeful here for those of us who were not child prodigies,” said Dean Keith Simonton, an emeritus professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis. But the study also has its limitations. The research focused on fields where performance can be measured clearly — sports, music and science. It may not apply to other areas, like business or politics. The researchers were also, importantly, studying the extremes: the very best of the best. These are not random people; they are the ones stuck with their chosen activity. 31. What does the underlined word “pinnacle” in Paragraph 1 mostly mean? A. The new height. B. The severe issue. C. The highest point. D. The point of failure. 32. What can we learn from the research in the passage? A. Adult achievers have great early success. B. Prodigies have higher success than adult achievers. C. Prodigies focus on multiple disciplines in their early age. D. Adult achievers have broad exploration when they’re young. 33. What’s the relationship between early performance and eventual peak performance? A. They are a little associated. B. They are negatively correlated. C. The correlation varies by profession. D. There is no correlation between them. 34. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To highlight the study’s limitations. B. To compare sports and science careers. C. To introduce a new study on peak achievers. D. To criticize the pursuit of early achievements. 【答案】31. C 32. D 33. B 34. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究，该研究探讨了不同领域顶尖人才在年轻时的经历和成就模式。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Young prodigies — the teenage sports stars, the high schoolers bursting into the chess ranks, the kids making scientific discoveries — are usually not the same as late bloomers who reach the pinnacle of their fields in adulthood.(年轻的奇才——十几岁的体育明星、冲进国际象棋行列的高中生、做出科学发现的孩子们——通常与那些在成年后达到各自领域_____的后来者不同。)”可知，Young prodigies和late bloomers这两类人应该是不同的，前者是年轻时取得成就的人，后者是成年后才取得成就的人，所以pinnacle的意思应该是“最高点”。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But the people who achieve the most later in life typically start with less singular intensity, engaging across multiple disciplines, and less early success.(但那些在人生后期取得最高成就的人，起步时往往不会专注单一领域，而是涉猎多个学科，早年也鲜有亮眼成绩。)”可知，成年成功者在年轻时有广泛的探索。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When comparing performers across the highest levels of achievement, the evidence suggests that eventual peak performance is negatively associated with early performance.(当比较最高成就水平的表演者时，有证据表明，最终的表现与早期表现呈负相关。)”可知，早期表现和最终巅峰表现之间的关系是负相关。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study suggests that the people who reach the top of their fields typically were all involved in multiple disciplines when they were young.(一项新的研究表明，那些在自己领域达到顶峰的人在年轻时通常都涉及多个学科。)”可知，这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一项关于顶尖成就者的新研究。故选C。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Over the summer, Ohio State University announced a new initiative promising to “integrate AI education into the core of every undergraduate curriculum.” Similar initiatives are being rolled out at other universities. ____35____ Based on the available evidence, the skills that future graduates will most need in the AI era are precisely those that are likely to be weakened by inserting AI into the educational process. Students must be able to ask AI questions, critically analyze its written responses, identify possible weaknesses or inaccuracies, and integrate new information with existing knowledge. Each of these skills comes from years of sustained educational development. ____36____ “I find that careful use of AI helps me at work, but that is because I completed my education decades ago and have been actively studying ever since,” the sociologist Gabriel Rossman has written. “My accumulated knowledge gives me inspiration for new research questions and techniques.” Will the AI-integrated education develop these skills? ____37____ For example, a team of scientists at MIT recently divided subjects into three groups and asked them to write a number of short essays over the course of several months. The first group used ChatGPT to assist its writing, the second used Google Search, and the third used no technology. They found that the subjects that used ChatGPT produced vague, poorly reasoned essays and showed the lowest levels of brain activity. ____38____ Other studies have found a negative correlation between AI use and cognitive abilities. ____39____ The most responsible way for colleges to prepare students for the future is to teach AI skills only after building a solid foundation of basic cognitive (认知的) ability and advanced disciplinary knowledge. A. This is how innovation happens. B. These findings raise serious doubts about the push. C. A growing body of research suggests that it will not. D. We should engage in cautious and reasoned thinking. E. Some experts argue for a complete ban on AI in educational settings. F. But such policies represent a dangerously rapid and uninformed response to the technology. G. They tended to compose their work simply by cutting and pasting (粘贴) material from other sources. 【答案】35. F 36. A 37. C 38. G 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨高校将AI融入课程的举措，指出其可能削弱核心能力，呼吁理性谨慎推行AI教育。 【35题详解】 根据前文“Over the summer, Ohio State University announced a new initiative promising to “integrate AI education into the core of every undergraduate curriculum.” Similar initiatives are being rolled out at other universities. (今年夏天，俄亥俄州立大学宣布了一项新计划，承诺将‘人工智能教育融入每一门本科课程的核心’。其他大学也在推出类似的举措。)”可知，前文介绍多所高校推行AI融入课程的政策，此空应表达对该政策的负面看法，F选项“But such policies represent a dangerously rapid and uninformed response to the technology.(但此类政策是对这项技术仓促且盲目、充满危险的应对。)”转折指出政策问题，符合语境。故选F项。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Each of these skills comes from years of sustained educational development.(这些能力都来自多年持续的教育培养。)”以及后文社会学家凭借积累的知识获得研究灵感的例子可知，积累知识能催生创新，A选项“This is how innovation happens.(创新就是这样产生的。)”承接前后文，符合语境。故选A项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Will the AI-integrated education develop these skills?(融入人工智能的教育能培养这些能力吗？)”以及后文MIT的研究结果可知，研究表明答案是否定的，C选项“A growing body of research suggests that it will not.(越来越多的研究表明不能。)”回答前文设问，符合语境。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“They found that the subjects that used ChatGPT produced vague, poorly reasoned essays and showed the lowest levels of brain activity.

I admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and I hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. However, I was a shy girl who dared not even answer questions in class, let alone argue with others in a formal debate. I summoned up my courage to try out for the debate team. Unfortunately, I froze on stage, forgot my prepared speech, and ran off in embarrassment. My classmates tried to comfort me, but I felt so defeated that I decided to give up my dream. I thought persistence (坚持) was meaningless when I lacked the natural talent. My teacher noticed my low spirits and shared her own story with me. She told me she had failed three times before passing her teacher qualification exam, but she never stopped practicing her teaching skills. Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure. I started to practice every day. I read debate articles to learn logical expressions, recorded myself speaking to correct my tone, and asked my teacher and classmates for feedback. At first, I still made mistakes and felt frustrated, but I refused to quit this time. The next year, I attended the audition again. This time, I stayed calm, expressed my views clearly, and responded to the judges’ questions smoothly. I was finally admitted to the debate team. Later, we even won the second prize in the city’s high school debate competition. Looking back, I realized that persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. Only by combining persistence with practical efforts can we turn our dreams into reality. 40. Why did the author want to join the debate team? ________________________________________________________ 41. What effect did the teacher’s words have on the author? ________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. ________________________________________________________ 43. Please share one of your own experiences about the application of persistence in your daily life. (In about 40 words) ________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and she hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public./Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently./Because the author hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. 41. Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure./Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence. 42. True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. According to the passage, persistence is not blind perseverance. It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help. 43. One possible answer: When I was learning to ride a bike, I kept falling off at first. But I didn't give up. I persisted in practicing every day, and finally I could ride it smoothly. Persistence really paid off. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从想加入辩论队，到失败后想放弃，再到受老师鼓舞后重新努力，最终成功加入辩论队并获奖的经历，强调了坚持的意义。 【40题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“I admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and I hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public.(我钦佩辩论者如何逻辑清晰、自信地表达自己的观点，我希望成为一个能在公共场合勇敢发言的人。)”可知，作者想加入辩论队是因为钦佩辩论者如何逻辑清晰、自信地表达自己的观点，并且希望成为一个能在公共场合勇敢发言的人。故答案是：Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently, and she hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public./Because the author admired how debaters expressed their views logically and confidently./Because the author hoped to become someone who could speak up bravely in public. 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure.(她的话启发我重新思考坚持的意义——不是从不失败，而是在失败后重新站起来。)”可知，老师的话对作者的影响是启发作者重新思考坚持的意义，即不是从不失败，而是在失败后重新站起来。故答案是：Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence — it’s not about never failing, but about getting up after failure./Her words inspired me to rethink the meaning of persistence. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“It requires courage to face failures, willingness to improve, and the wisdom to accept help.(面对失败需要勇气，寻求改进需要热忱，接纳帮助需要智慧。)”可知，坚持需要勇气面对失败，改进的意愿，以及接受帮助的智慧。由此可知，陈述中的“refusing others’ help”是错误的，应该改为“accepting others’ help”，即“接受他人的帮助”。故答案是：True persistence means having courage to face failures, taking action to improve and refusing others’ help. According to the passage, persistence is not blind perseverance.
