Listen to the next question. Good morning, everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of a Richard rowchester, one of the most successful businessman in britain. Years ago, I was given the task of organizing a conference in the south of england. I chose a five star hotel owned by rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she'd ever met mister rochester. SHE said yes. Shortly after mister rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met with Susan, who was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for thirty minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. We spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff, from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, mister rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that he had a little girl and what her name was. Now I don't believe that Richard rochester has that good a memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It's time consuming, but IT shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that's one of the secrets of his success. Good morning, everyone.

The Walt Disney Company turns 100 this year, and the whole world celebrates its stories, characters and imagination — but only Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute houses the official Disney 100: The Exhibition.
Making its world debut (首映式) right here in Philadelphia, the exhibition takes guests behind the scenes and puts them into the magic of Disney at what’s sure to be one of the must-see exhibitions of this year.
When to Visit
From February 18 to August 27.
What to Expect
The exhibition features 10 large, themed galleries that tell the history of Disney from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Strange World.
What can guests expect? Items from the Walt Disney Archives (档案馆), as well as more than 250 of Disney’s “Crown Jewels”. That includes seldom seen original artworks and behind-the-scenes collection. A couple of the items on view include a steamboat whistle from Steamboat Willie (which marked Mickey’s film debut).
Admission & Tickets
Guests have several options when it comes to experiencing the exhibition.
People who visit in the daytime (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) can buy timed tickets for $45 (adults) and$41(children aged 3-11). The best part: General museum admission to the rest of the FranklinInstitute is included in the cost.
Looking to save on tickets? Consider visiting during the exhibition’s evening hours, which run from 5 to 8 p.m. Tickets run $25 per person and do not include admission to the rest of the museum.
Lastly, consider picking up Flex Time Tickets, which allow exhibition access for any time.These run $61 a person and must be bought over the phone.

I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy blew my mind. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
24. Why did the author organize the trip?
A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B. To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
C. To make shared memories for the family. D. To relive the special outback experiences.
25. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Reflected on the memories. B. Agreed with their views.
C. Argued about the stories. D. Tripped over my words.
26. What does the author think of the trip?
A. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
B. It went in line with the author’s original plans.
C. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
D. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
27. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage?
A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the rural area.
C. The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
D. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
C
Sahel, a dry region of Africa sandwiched between the Sahara desert and the Sudanian Savanna, was turning to dust. With efforts on both national and international scales having failed, it was a local farmer, Yacouba Sawadogo, who decided to take matters into his own hands in the 1980s.
Instead of using modern innovations, the farmer turned to old ways, employing two simple traditional approaches to fight against the desert. One involved digging holes to collect precious rainwater, where fertilizers or compost may be placed to increase the amount of nutrients in the soil. Crops may then be planted in these holes. The other was laying lines of stones across the field to slow the water’s flow. But to his community, these ways seemed odd. “They thought I had lost my mind,” Yacouba later recalled.
It’s true that the two methods are labor-intensive tasks, and the cost is higher in terms of manpower. Yet, Yacouba persevered. For years, changes began to show. Green shoots pushed through the earth where there was once only dust. Trees grew, and his land was transformed.
The success gained by Yacouba has made him a respected figure in the community that initially laughed at him. In 2010, his story reached the world through a documentary film. More importantly, the fame enabled him to reach out to a much greater audience and allowed him to share his agricultural techniques with fellow farmers, making them better equipped in their own struggle against desertification.
The forest that now stands is a testament to one man’s strong belief. Yacouba Sawadogo did not just stop the desert; he sowed seeds of hope that grew into a forest, and took root in the hearts of his people.
28. What did Yacouba dig holes for?
A. Placing farm tools. B. Storing more crops.
C. Laying stone lines. D. Gathering rainwater.
29. What might make the community misunderstand Yacouba initially?
A Using modern methods. B. Seeking international help.
C. Employing local people. D. Increasing the labor cost.
30. What is the most significant impact of Yacouba’s success?
A. His personal documentary was made.
B. His techniques got applied more widely.
C. He invented agricultural equipment.
D. He gained respect from his community.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dry Sahara: A Land of Miracle in Africa.
B. Stopping Desertification: How Far to Go.
C. From Desert to Forest: A Farmer’s Belief.
D. Modern Problems: How to Solve Them.
D
Scientists at Finland’s Aalto University have found that using artificial intelligence (AI) almost removes and reverses (逆转)the Dunning-Kruger effect, a phenomenon that people who aren’t very good at a given task are overconfident, while people with high ability tend to underestimate their skills. Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems, everyone (regardless of their skill level) tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers, with the most experienced AI users doing so the most.
In the study, scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks, with half allowed to use ChatGPT. Both groups were later quizzed on both their AI literacy and how well they thought they performed, and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately.
The reasons behind the findings are varied. Because AI users were usually satisfied with their answer after only one question or prompt (提示), accepting the answer without further checking or confirmation, they can be said to have engaged in what Robin Welsch, an Aalto University computer scientist, calls “cognitive (认知) offloading” — exploring the question with reduced reflection, and approaching it in a more “shallow” way.
Such less engagement in our own reasoning means we bypass the usual feedback process of critical thinking, which reduces our ability to assess our performance accurately. Even more revealing was the fact that we all overestimate our abilities when using AI, regardless of our intelligence, with the gap between high-and low-skill users reducing. The study owed this to the fact that large language models (LLMs) help everyone perform better to some degree. Meanwhile, the Aalto team warned of several potential impacts as AI becomes more widespread.
Firstly, metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer. Without reflecting on results, error checking or deeper reasoning, we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably, the scientists said in the study. What’s more, the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we’ll all continue to overestimate our abilities while using AI, with the more AI-literate among us doing so even more — leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills.
32. What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use?
A. Low-ability users became less confident.
B. It strengthened the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
C. Users generally over-trusted the chatbot’s answers.
D. Only beginners often thought highly of their abilities.
33. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The purpose. B. The process. C. The subjects. D. The findings.
34. Why do the users often overestimate their abilities?
A. LLMs’ aid improves users’ task performance.
B. Users often skip the process of critical thinking.
C. AI tools contribute to users’ metacognitive accuracy.
D. The gap between high-and low-skill AI users is bridged.
35. What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Regulations for narrowing AI users’ skill gap.
B. Guidelines for sourcing information reliably.
C. Methods for preventing users’ cognitive decline.
D. Tips for improving the subjects’ performance.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
People are living longer than ever around the world. Longer lives bring new opportunities, but they also introduce challenges, especially the risk of age-related decline. Researchers have spent years trying to understand why some people stay mentally sharp while others fade more quickly. ____36____
When someone knows two or more languages, all those languages remain active in the brain. Each time a multilingual person wants to speak, the brain must select the right language while keeping others from interfering. ____37____ Choosing one language, controlling the others and switching between them strengthens brain networks involved in attention and mental control.
Studies comparing bilinguals and monolinguals have suggested that people who use more than one language might maintain better brain functions in later life. ____38____ Interestingly, researchers also find in a new study that people living in countries where multilingualism had a lower chance of showing signs of accelerated ageing. Monolingual speakers, by contrast, were more likely to appear biologically older. ____39____
This new research stands out for its scale, its long-term perspective and its broad approach to defining ageing. By combining biological, behavioural and environmental information, it reveals a clear and consistent pattern: ____40____ While it is not a magic shield, it may be one of the everyday experiences that help the brain stay adaptable, resilient and younger for longer.
A. brain activities can prevent physical illnesses.
B. multilingualism is closely linked to healthier ageing.
C. This mental exercise acts a bit like “brain training”.
D. Many scientists doubt the effect of learning languages in old age.
E. Therefore, the more languages one speaks, the greater the protective effect.
F. One main reason is multilingualism, the ability to speak more than one language.
G. Indeed, speaking one extra language appears helpful in maintaining better cognitive skills.

The annual school kayaking (皮划艇) race was the event Ben had been looking forward to for months. As a top athlete, Ben believed that to win, one must be fast and aggressive. However, his heart sank when he saw his partner’s name: Sam. Sam was a quiet boy who always seemed to be in slow motion. He would often stop just to watch a dragonfly or the way sunlight played on the water. “We’ll never win with him,” Ben complained, his hands tight on the paddle.
As the race started, Ben’s fears seemed to come true. He paddled with wild, uneven strength, trying to force the kayak to fly. But the harder he worked, the more the boat shook from side to side. Sam, sitting in the back, struggled to match Ben’s messy rhythm. His calm silence only made Ben angrier. “Paddle harder, Sam! We’re losing!” Ben shouted, his face turning red.
In a desperate move to pass the others, Ben steered the kayak toward a narrow, shaded area near the riverbank. He ignored the signs of the still water — the thick grass and a dark, fallen tree hidden just under the surface. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The front of the kayak hit the wood hard and got stuck.
Panic hit Ben instantly. He pushed his paddle into the water wildly, trying to move the boat, but it only tipped dangerously. Cold water began to pour over the side. “We’re going to turn over!” Ben cried, his hands shaking. In the middle of his fear, he felt a sudden, steadying force from the back. Sam hadn’t moved in panic. Instead, he sat perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the riverbank with a quiet, peaceful focus.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing Ben’s panic, Sam didn’t say a word but began to paddle with a steady, regular movement.

【答案】17. B 18. A 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【详解】W: Good morning, everyone. This lesson is a part of our leadership series. Let me start by sharing a story of Richard Rochester, one of the most successful businessmen in Britain. Years ago, I was given a task of organizing a conference in the south of England. I chose a five-star hotel owned by Rochester as the venue. Susan, the receptionist, helped me arrange everything perfectly. Once when we were chatting, I asked Susan if she’d ever met Mr. Rochester. She said “Yes.” Shortly after Mr. Rochester bought the hotel, he made an appointment to see the hotel manager. When he arrived, the first person he met was Susan who was cleaning the carpet. He chatted with Susan for 30 minutes before keeping his appointment with the manager. He spent all day at the hotel talking with each member of the staff from the top guy to the lady who cleaned the toilets. Six months later, Mr. Rochester paid another visit. Susan had been promoted to receptionist, but he recognized her immediately and addressed her by name. He even remembered that she had a little girl and what her name was. Now I don’t believe that Richard Rochester has that good memory. He must have written a lot of notes after his first visit and read them over again before that second visit. It’s time-consuming, but it shows the importance he places on human relationships. I think that’s one of the secrets of his success.

I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy blew my mind. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along.
24. Why did the author organize the trip?
A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B. To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
C. To make shared memories for the family. D. To relive the special outback experiences.
25. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A Reflected on the memories. B. Agreed with their views.
C. Argued about the stories. D. Tripped over my words.
26. What does the author think of the trip?
A. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
B. It went in line with the author’s original plans.
C. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
D. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
27. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage?
A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the rural area.
C. The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
D. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者带家人进行内陆旅行,虽遇不便但收获意外感悟。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. (我把家人塞进旧车里,从悉尼出发,踏上了3000公里的内陆之旅,希望能给孩子们留下难忘的回忆)”可知,作者组织这次旅行是为了给家人创造共同的回忆。故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. (我急切地想和孩子们分享澳大利亚的民间故事,自信地告诉他们那里住着一个神秘的生物——但当他们问我后续问题时,我却stumbled)”可知,作者自信地给孩子们讲故事,但是当孩子们问后续问题的时候,作者却回答不上来,由此推知,stumbled的意思是“说话结结巴巴,不流畅”,与“Tripped over my words. (说话结结巴巴)”意思相近。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (这次旅行并不精彩——我甚至抱怨床上的硬床垫和小毛巾。但在复活节早晨,孩子们在我们廉价的汽车旅馆房间里疯狂地寻找彩蛋,兴奋地搜遍了每一个角落。我本想教孩子们了解我们州最偏远的地方,但实际上,孩子们才是我一直想要得到的最好的视角)”可知,尽管旅行中有诸多不便,但作者认为这次旅行是值得的。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (我本想教孩子们了解我们州最偏远的地方,但实际上,孩子们才是我一直想要得到的最好的视角)”可知,作者通过这次旅行意识到,通过孩子的眼睛,我们获得了意想不到的见解。故选D。
C
Sahel, a dry region of Africa sandwiched between the Sahara desert and the Sudanian Savanna, was turning to dust. With efforts on both national and international scales having failed, it was a local farmer, Yacouba Sawadogo, who decided to take matters into his own hands in the 1980s.
Instead of using modern innovations, the farmer turned to old ways, employing two simple traditional approaches to fight against the desert. One involved digging holes to collect precious rainwater, where fertilizers or compost may be placed to increase the amount of nutrients in the soil. Crops may then be planted in these holes. The other was laying lines of stones across the field to slow the water’s flow. But to his community, these ways seemed odd. “They thought I had lost my mind,” Yacouba later recalled.
It’s true that the two methods are labor-intensive tasks, and the cost is higher in terms of manpower. Yet, Yacouba persevered. For years, changes began to show. Green shoots pushed through the earth where there was once only dust. Trees grew, and his land was transformed.
The success gained by Yacouba has made him a respected figure in the community that initially laughed at him. In 2010, his story reached the world through a documentary film. More importantly, the fame enabled him to reach out to a much greater audience and allowed him to share his agricultural techniques with fellow farmers, making them better equipped in their own struggle against desertification.
The forest that now stands is a testament to one man’s strong belief. Yacouba Sawadogo did not just stop the desert; he sowed seeds of hope that grew into a forest, and took root in the hearts of his people.
28. What did Yacouba dig holes for?
A. Placing farm tools. B. Storing more crops.
C. Laying stone lines. D. Gathering rainwater.
29. What might make the community misunderstand Yacouba initially?
A. Using modern methods. B. Seeking international help.
C. Employing local people. D. Increasing the labor cost.
30. What is the most significant impact of Yacouba’s success?
A. His personal documentary was made.
B. His techniques got applied more widely.
C. He invented agricultural equipment.
D. He gained respect from his community.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dry Sahara: A Land of Miracle in Africa.
B. Stopping Desertification: How Far to Go.
C. From Desert to Forest: A Farmer’s Belief.
D Modern Problems: How to Solve Them.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了非洲萨赫勒地区的农民Yacouba Sawadogo在20世纪80年代采用传统方法对抗沙漠化,历经艰辛最终成功将荒漠变为森林,并将技术推广造福更多农民的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One involved digging holes to collect precious rainwater, where fertilizers or compost may be placed to increase the amount of nutrients in the soil. (其中一种方法是挖坑收集珍贵的雨水,同时还可以在坑中添加肥料或堆肥,以增加土壤中的养分含量)”可知,Yacouba挖洞是为了收集雨水。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But to his community, these ways seemed odd. “They thought I had lost my mind,” Yacouba later recalled.(但他的社区认为这些方法很奇怪。“他们认为我疯了,”Yacouba后来回忆道)”及第三段中的“It’s true that the two methods are labor-intensive tasks, and the cost is higher in terms of manpower.(确实,这两种方法都是需要大量人力操作的繁重工作,而且在人力成本方面也相对较高)”可知,这些方法需要大量劳动力,人力成本较高,这让社区居民最初误解Yacouba疯了。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“More importantly, the fame enabled him to reach out to a much greater audience and allowed him to share his agricultural techniques with fellow farmers, making them better equipped in their own struggle against desertification.(更重要的是,这份声誉使他能够接触到更广泛的受众,并让他能够向其他农民传授自己的农业技术,从而帮助他们更好地应对荒漠化问题)”可知,Yacouba成功最重要的影响是他的农业技术得以更广泛地传播和应用,帮助更多农民对抗沙漠化。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是最后一段“The forest that now stands is a testament to one man’s strong belief. Yacouba Sawadogo did not just stop the desert; he sowed seeds of hope that grew into a forest, and took root in the hearts of his people.(如今矗立于此的这片森林,正是一个人坚定信念的见证。Yacouba Sawadogo不仅阻止了沙漠的扩张,还播下了希望的种子,这些种子长成了一片森林,并深深扎根于他人民的心中)”可知,文章核心讲述了一位农民凭借坚定信念将荒漠变为森林的故事。由此可知,C选项From Desert to Forest:A Farmer’s Belief(从沙漠到森林:一位农民的信念)最能概括文章主旨,适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
D
Scientists at Finland’s Aalto University have found that using artificial intelligence (AI) almost removes and reverses (逆转)the Dunning-Kruger effect, a phenomenon that people who aren’t very good at a given task are overconfident, while people with high ability tend to underestimate their skills. Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems, everyone (regardless of their skill level) tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers, with the most experienced AI users doing so the most.
In the study, scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks, with half allowed to use ChatGPT. Both groups were later quizzed on both their AI literacy and how well they thought they performed, and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately.
The reasons behind the findings are varied. Because AI users were usually satisfied with their answer after only one question or prompt (提示), accepting the answer without further checking or confirmation, they can be said to have engaged in what Robin Welsch, an Aalto University computer scientist, calls “cognitive (认知) offloading” — exploring the question with reduced reflection, and approaching it in a more “shallow” way.
Such less engagement in our own reasoning means we bypass the usual feedback process of critical thinking, which reduces our ability to assess our performance accurately. Even more revealing was the fact that we all overestimate our abilities when using AI, regardless of our intelligence, with the gap between high-and low-skill users reducing. The study owed this to the fact that large language models (LLMs) help everyone perform better to some degree. Meanwhile, the Aalto team warned of several potential impacts as AI becomes more widespread.
Firstly, metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer. Without reflecting on results, error checking or deeper reasoning, we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably, the scientists said in the study. What’s more, the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we’ll all continue to overestimate our abilities while using AI, with the more AI-literate among us doing so even more — leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills.
32. What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use?
A Low-ability users became less confident.
B. It strengthened the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
C. Users generally over-trusted the chatbot’s answers.
D. Only beginners often thought highly of their abilities.
33. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The purpose. B. The process. C. The subjects. D. The findings.
34. Why do the users often overestimate their abilities?
A. LLMs’ aid improves users’ task performance.
B. Users often skip the process of critical thinking.
C. AI tools contribute to users’ metacognitive accuracy.
D. The gap between high-and low-skill AI users is bridged.
35. What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Regulations for narrowing AI users’ skill gap.
B. Guidelines for sourcing information reliably.
C. Methods for preventing users’ cognitive decline.
D. Tips for improving the subjects’ performance.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems, everyone (regardless of their skill level) tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers, with the most experienced AI users doing so the most.(他们的研究表明,当使用普通聊天机器人解决问题时,每个人(无论技能水平如何)都倾向于过度相信答案的质量,经验最丰富的人工智能用户表现得最为明显)”可知,阿尔托大学的研究人员发现使用人工智能聊天机器人时,用户普遍过度信任聊天机器人的答案。故选C项。

主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the study, scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks, with half allowed to use ChatGPT. Both groups were later quizzed on both their AI literacy and how well they thought they performed, and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately.(在这项研究中,科学家给500名受试者布置了逻辑推理任务,其中一半人被允许使用ChatGPT。随后,两组受试者都接受了关于他们的人工智能素养以及他们认为自己表现如何的测试,并承诺如果他们能准确评估自己的表现,将给予额外奖励)”可知,该段主要介绍了研究的过程,包括给受试者布置任务、分组、后续测试等。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The study owed this to the fact that large language models (LLMs) help everyone perform better to some degree.(该研究将此归因于大型语言模型(LLMs)在某种程度上帮助每个人都表现得更好)”可知,用户经常高估自己的能力是因为大型语言模型的帮助提高了用户在任务中的表现。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Firstly, metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer. Without reflecting on results, error checking or deeper reasoning, we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably, the scientists said in the study. What’s more, the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we’ll all continue to overestimate our abilities while using AI, with the more AI-literate among us doing so even more — leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills.(首先,整体的元认知准确性可能会受到影响。科学家在该研究中指出,若不对结果进行反思、不做错误检查或深入推理,我们就有可能削弱自己可靠获取信息的能力。此外,邓宁 - 克鲁格效应的弱化将意味着:在使用人工智能时,我们所有人都会继续高估自己的能力,而其中对人工智能更熟悉的人,这种情况会更为严重 —— 这会导致错误决策的风气加剧,同时使他们自身的能力下降)”可知,文章最后提到了使用人工智能的潜在影响,接下来可能会讨论防止用户认知能力下降的方法。故选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
People are living longer than ever around the world. Longer lives bring new opportunities, but they also introduce challenges, especially the risk of age-related decline. Researchers have spent years trying to understand why some people stay mentally sharp while others fade more quickly. ____36____
When someone knows two or more languages, all those languages remain active in the brain. Each time a multilingual person wants to speak, the brain must select the right language while keeping others from interfering. ____37____ Choosing one language, controlling the others and switching between them strengthens brain networks involved in attention and mental control.
Studies comparing bilinguals and monolinguals have suggested that people who use more than one language might maintain better brain functions in later life. ____38____ Interestingly, researchers also find in a new study that people living in countries where multilingualism had a lower chance of showing signs of accelerated ageing. Monolingual speakers, by contrast, were more likely to appear biologically older. ____39____
This new research stands out for its scale, its long-term perspective and its broad approach to defining ageing. By combining biological, behavioural and environmental information, it reveals a clear and consistent pattern: ____40____ While it is not a magic shield, it may be one of the everyday experiences that help the brain stay adaptable, resilient and younger for longer.
A. brain activities can prevent physical illnesses.
B. multilingualism is closely linked to healthier ageing.
C. This mental exercise acts a bit like “brain training”.
D. Many scientists doubt the effect of learning languages in old age.
E. Therefore, the more languages one speaks, the greater the protective effect.
F. One main reason is multilingualism, the ability to speak more than one language.
G. Indeed, speaking one extra language appears helpful in maintaining better cognitive skills.
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. G 39. E 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过研究发现,掌握多种语言(多语能力)与健康老龄化密切相关,这种语言能力所带来的持续大脑训练有助于延缓认知衰退。
【36题详解】
上文“Researchers have spent years trying to understand why some people stay mentally sharp while others fade more quickly. (研究人员花了多年时间试图理解为什么有些人能保持思维敏锐,而另一些人则衰退得更快)”提出了一个长期存在的科学问题。F选项“One main reason is multilingualism, the ability to speak more than one language. (一个主要原因就是多语能力,即说一种以上语言的能力)”承接上文,直接回答了研究人员长期探究的问题——多语能力是影响因素之一,形成“问题—答案”的逻辑关系。同时,引出下文围绕“多语能力”这一因素展开的详细阐述。故选F项。
【37题详解】
上文“When someone knows two or more languages, all those languages remain active in the brain. Each time a multilingual person wants to speak, the brain must select the right language while keeping others from interfering. (当一个人掌握两种或多种语言时,所有这些语言都会在大脑中保持活跃。每当一个多语者想要说话时,大脑必须在阻止其他语言干扰的同时选择正确的语言)”描述了多语者大脑同时处理多种语言的运作机制。C选项“This mental exercise acts a bit like “brain training”. (这种心智锻炼有点像“大脑训练”)”承接上文,用“This mental exercise”指代上文描述的“选择语言、控制干扰”这一过程,将其类比为“大脑训练”。下文“Choosing one language, controlling the others and switching between them strengthens brain networks involved in attention and mental control. (选择一种语言、控制其他语言以及在它们之间切换,会强化与注意力和心理控制相关的大脑网络)”则具体阐述了这种“大脑训练”带来的积极效果,形成“机制—类比—效果”的逻辑链。故选C项。
【38题详解】
上文“Studies comparing bilinguals and monolinguals have suggested that people who use more than one language might maintain better brain functions in later life. (比较双语者和单语者的研究表明,使用一种以上语言的人在晚年可能保持更好的大脑功能)”指出多语能力与晚年大脑功能之间的关联。G选项“Indeed, speaking one extra language appears helpful in maintaining better cognitive skills. (确实,多说一种语言似乎有助于保持更好的认知能力)”承接上文,用“Indeed”对上文的研究结论进行强调和确认。下文“Interestingly, researchers also find in a new study that people living in countries where multilingualism had a lower chance of showing signs of accelerated ageing. (有趣的是,研究人员在一项新研究中还发现,生活在多语国家的人们出现加速衰老迹象的几率较低)”则用新的研究数据进一步支持这一观点,与G选项形成递进关系。故选G项。
【39题详解】
上文“Monolingual speakers, by contrast, were more likely to appear biologically older. (相比之下,单语者更可能在生理上显得更老)”通过对比强调了多语能力对延缓生物衰老的保护作用。E选项“Therefore, the more languages one speaks, the greater the protective effect. (因此,一个人说的语言越多,保护效果就越大)”承接上文,用“Therefore”引出基于上文对比的推论——语言数量与保护效果呈正相关,使论述从“多语有益”推进到“越多越有益”的更深层次结论。故选E项。
【40题详解】
上文“By combining biological, behavioural and environmental information, it reveals a clear and consistent pattern: (通过结合生物学、行为学和环境信息,它揭示了一个清晰且一致的模式:)”引出研究发现的最终结论。B选项“multilingualism is closely linked to healthier ageing. (多语能力与健康老龄化密切相关)”作为冒号后的内容,直接概括了研究揭示的核心模式。下文“While it is not a magic shield, it may be one of the everyday experiences that help the brain stay adaptable, resilient and younger for longer. (虽然它不是一种神奇的护盾,但它可能是帮助大脑保持适应性、韧性并更长时间保持年轻的日常体验之一)”则进一步说明该结论的意义。故选B项。

第二节、读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The annual school kayaking (皮划艇) race was the event Ben had been looking forward to for months. As a top athlete, Ben believed that to win, one must be fast and aggressive. However, his heart sank when he saw his partner’s name: Sam. Sam was a quiet boy who always seemed to be in slow motion. He would often stop just to watch a dragonfly or the way sunlight played on the water. “We’ll never win with him,” Ben complained, his hands tight on the paddle.
As the race started, Ben’s fears seemed to come true. He paddled with wild, uneven strength, trying to force the kayak to fly. But the harder he worked, the more the boat shook from side to side. Sam, sitting in the back, struggled to match Ben’s messy rhythm. His calm silence only made Ben angrier. “Paddle harder, Sam! We’re losing!” Ben shouted, his face turning red.
In a desperate move to pass the others, Ben steered the kayak toward a narrow, shaded area near the riverbank. He ignored the signs of the still water — the thick grass and a dark, fallen tree hidden just under the surface. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. The front of the kayak hit the wood hard and got stuck.
Panic hit Ben instantly. He pushed his paddle into the water wildly, trying to move the boat, but it only tipped dangerously. Cold water began to pour over the side. “We’re going to turn over!” Ben cried, his hands shaking. In the middle of his fear, he felt a sudden, steadying force from the back. Sam hadn’t moved in panic. Instead, he sat perfectly still, his eyes fixed on the riverbank with a quiet, peaceful focus.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Seeing Ben’s panic, Sam didn’t say a word but began to paddle with a steady, regular movement.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the finish line finally came into view, the prize no longer seemed like the most important thing.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Seeing Ben’s panic, Sam didn’t say a word but began to paddle with a steady, regular movement. His calmness was like a soothing balm, gradually calming Ben’s wild heart. Ben, who had once thought Sam was useless, now realized that Sam’s steady rhythm was exactly what they needed. As Sam paddled, the kayak slowly began to move away from the fallen tree. Ben, feeling a mix of shame and gratitude, joined in with a more controlled strength. Together, they worked in harmony, their movements becoming more synchronized with each passing moment, as if they had been partners for years.
As the finish line finally came into view, the prize no longer seemed like the most important thing. What mattered more was the lesson Ben had learned — that true strength lay not in aggression but in cooperation and calmness under pressure. He looked at Sam, who was still paddling with that same quiet focus, and knew that he had found a true friend and partner. As they crossed the finish line, hand in hand, Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment that went far beyond winning any race. He realized that sometimes, the greatest victories are the ones that teach us the most about ourselves and others, which was what really counted in the end.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Ben和Sam参加皮划艇比赛为线索展开。Ben作为顶尖运动员,本想快速取胜,却因与节奏缓慢的搭档Sam一组而抱怨。比赛中,Ben用力过猛致船摇晃,后又不慎撞树遇险,慌乱中,是Sam的冷静稳定住了局面。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“看到Ben惊慌失措的样子,Sam一言不发,只是开始平稳而有节奏地划起桨来。”可知,第一段可以描写Ben陷入慌乱、内心焦躁,而Sam保持冷静划桨,用沉稳感染Ben,使Ben转变心态、感到羞愧与感激,随后两人配合越来越默契。
②由第二段句首内容“当终点线终于映入眼帘时,奖项似乎已不再是最重要的事。”可知,第二段可以描写两人接近终点,胜负不再重要,Ben从中领悟到真正的力量在于合作与冷静,收获了友谊,内心产生超越比赛的自豪感,最后点明成长与感悟才是最宝贵的胜利。
2.续写线索:陷入险境,Ben慌乱——Sam冷静划桨,安抚Ben——Ben醒悟,羞愧配合——两人默契协作,脱离困境——接近终点,看淡胜负——领悟道理,收获友谊与成长
3.词汇激活
行为类
①加入:join in/take part/participate in
②协作:work in harmony /cooperate
③意识到:realize/be aware
情绪类
①羞愧:shame/embarrassment/guilt
②感激:gratitude/appreciation
【点睛】【高分句型1】He looked at Sam, who was still paddling with that same quiet focus, and knew that he had found a true friend and partner. (运用了who引导的定语从句、that引导的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】As they crossed the finish line, hand in hand, Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment that went far beyond winning any race. (运用了As引导的时间状语从句、that引导的定语从句)
