The Pacific Northwest’s misty woods weren’t just Rosemary’s backyard — they were her first classroom. Now, as Response’s new Community Education Coordinator, she’s taking that “Education through experience” spirit everywhere, turning lessons into stories kids will never forget.
Her favorite wilderness adventure unfolded on a spring morning with a group of fourth graders. Their mission was simple: find three “forest friends” and write a short story about each one. At first, the kids hung back, dragging their feet slowly as if they’d rather stay inside playing video games — until eight-year-old Leo suddenly dashed toward a bush, yelling, “Look! A squirrel with an acorn (橡树果) bigger than his head!” Rosemary dropped to her knees. “Let’s give him a name,” she said. They settled on “Mr. Nutkin,” and Leo scribbled (潦草地写) in his journal: “Mr. Nutkin is in a hurry. Maybe he’s hiding snacks for winter so he doesn’t get hungry. ” Soon, everyone spread across the woods. When it was time to leave, Leo even stuffed a pinecone (松果) in his pocket, declaring it “for Mr. Nutkin’s house so he stays warm. ”
Weeks later, an envelope showed up on Rosemary’s desk, with Leo’s messy handwriting on the front. Inside was a drawing: a squirrel in a tiny pinecone house, next to a stick figure labeled “Me,” and a note: “Mr. Nutkin moved into his new home I put it in my backyard. Can we go back to the woods soon?”
That’s the magic of Rosemary’s teaching: it doesn’t end when the class does. Whether she’s in a church, a farm, or a forest, she turns lessons into connections — ones that stick long after the pinecones are collected and the journals are closed. Now, at Response, she still keeps that pinecone from the woods in her bag. It’s a reminder: the best education isn’t about facts on a page but about making kids feel like the world is their storybook — and they’re the ones getting to write the fun parts.
24. Why did Rosemary regard the woods as her first classroom?
A. She once taught her students there. B. She learned by exploring nature there.
C. She experienced her first adventure there. D. She did research on wildlife biology there.
25. What do the underlined words “hung back” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Struggled up nervously. B. Moved forward quickly.
C. Stayed behind hesitantly. D. Looked around curiously.
26. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To describe Leo’s artistic talent. B. To prove the lesson’s lasting impact.
C. To indicate Leo’s keeping his promise. D. To share a continued story with readers.
27. How does Rosemary teach the kids?
A. By engaging them in real experiences. B. By showing them secrets about nature.
C. By organizing them to play games outdoors. D. By instructing them to write adventure journals.
C
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence? Before the appearance of digital tools, you’d probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don’t have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as “picking out words for the sake of their meaning,” a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires leafing through pages without knowing exactly where you’ll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English’s potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical — it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They categorize our unique ways of thinking through language. I’m a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my native land is enhanced by small verbal Canadianisms like “eaves trough” or “serviette”, which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our capacity for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
28. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author?
A. They promise fail-safe phrases. B. They possess academic authority.
C. They facilitate creative writing. D. They provide ready-made expressions.
29. What does the underlined word “stifle” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Favor. B. Revise. C. Observe. D. Discourage.
30. Why does the author mention “eaves trough” and “serviette” in paragraph 4?
A. To show how AI aids us in expressing. B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English. D. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Keep Your Dictionary? B. How to Deal with Digital Writing?
C. Who Uses Writing Assistants? D. What to Expect from Dictionaries?
D
New scientific understanding and engineering techniques have always impressed and frightened us, and will continue to do so. Open AI recently announced that it anticipates superintelligent AI going beyond human abilities within this decade. It is accordingly building a new team, and devoting 20% of its computing resources to ensuring that the behavior of such AI systems will be aligned with (与……一致) human values.
Beyond engineers and researchers, can philosophers shape AI too? Philosophy has been instrumental to AI from its early days. In 1956, the Logic Theorist, the first operational AI program, was created to prove mathematical theorems (定理), drawing on ideas from philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. Besides, German philosopher Gottlob Frege also laid the groundwork for modern logic and computing, which helped create early AI systems.
Today’s AI, based on deep learning, is associated with processing vast quantities of data. Philosophy, however, remains relevant. Take Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, which generates conversational text. At their heart, they track statistical patterns of language use. Something very much like this idea was stated by the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein: the meaning of a word is found in its use in the language.
Philosophy also raises big questions about AI’s future. Can AI truly understand language or become conscious (有意识的)? Science has so far been unable to fully explain how consciousness arises. Similarly, can AI be creative? British scientist Margaret Boden believes AI can produce new ideas but struggles to evaluate them like humans do.
As AI grows more powerful, aligning AI with human values is not just a technical challenge but a social one. It requires input from philosophers, social scientists, policymakers, and citizen users. British author Jamie Susskind even suggests building a “digital republic” — one that rejects the political and economic systems that excessively empower tech giants.
AI is also changing philosophy itself. Computational models simulate real-world situations, aiding philosophers in tackling social questions. As AI develops, it provides new ways to explore age-old questions, ensuring philosophy remains essential in guiding our technological future.
32. What is Open AI mainly concerned about?
A. The waste of its computing resources. B. The potential risks of superintelligent AI.
C. The decline of human competitive abilities. D. The high cost of super intelligence research.
33. What is the main focus of Paragraph 2?
A. The technical breakthroughs in early AI.
B. The philosophy’s historical contributions to AI.
C. The role of mathematical theorems in AI creation.
D. The collaboration between philosophers and engineers.
34. Why does the author mention Wittgenstein’s viewpoint?
A. To explain the linguistic logic of LLMs.
B. To argue philosophers’ superiority in AI research.
C. To illustrate philosophy’s relevance to modern AI.
D. To prove LLMs lack genuine language understanding.
35. Which word best defines the relationship between AI and philosophy?
A. Interdependent. B. Irrelevant. C. Competitive. D. One-sided.

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。
About a year ago, our dishwasher broke down. We called a repairman and were told it would have to be replaced. 36 So my mother asked me to wash dishes by hand after dinner.
To understand why this upset me so much, you need to know what my life was like as a university senior. 37 Homework assignments, projects and tests competed for my attention and time. I caged myself in a prison of my own ambitions and expectations, cut off from many aspects of the world.
So when I first started washing dishes, I felt annoyed. I was in a rush to be done with them, eager to get back to my endless list of tasks. 38 For about 15 minutes every day, I realized that I could slow down time and forget everything in the world. As my mind, eyes and hands focused on a simple task that would always result in success, I found peace.
Though the new dishwasher arrived eventually, I continued to wash dishes by hand. This task became more relaxing and educational than I could have imagined. 39 From my kitchen window, I watched the seasons change: the tomato plant grew in summer, gave its fruit in fall, and died back in winter. Then new green was showing in spring. I kept these sights in mind, thinking on time itself.
Washing dishes taught me to think of the completion of a task as the ultimate reward, not praise or a prize. I learned to be more relaxed about deadlines. 40
A. It definitely allowed me to recover.
B. Now I can enjoy whatever task I’m doing.
C. I was running around stressed most of the day.
D. It took a while for the model we ordered to arrive.
E. But a new dishwasher was out of our consideration.
F. I should have accomplished them with even greater efforts.
G. Washing dishes, though, caused an admirable transformation in me.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Like most teenagers growing up in the digital age, I relied on my phone for photos — quick snaps (快照) that were 41 but rarely revisited. My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos intended to 42 my peers.
The transition from sharing images to 43 memories for myself wasn’t immediate. It began with a simple 44 : flipping (翻) through family photo albums. I was attracted by the images from my family’s 45 . They weren’t polished, but they held stories that words often couldn’t 46 — of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits. In those photographs, I saw 47 . I realized that every image was a piece of something 48 : a history that had been passed down.
It was this 49 that led me to pick up my film camera. With just 36 exposures per roll, each photo required 50 , a slowing down to see the world around me. I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy. If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped, it didn’t matter. The 51 became part of the story. They weren’t meant for 52 or comments — they were meant for me, for family and friends.
There’s a sense of 53 when I finally open an envelope of developed prints. I’m 54 back to those moments. And in that sense, my 55 to film photography feels like a desire to regain the permanence and closeness that comes with holding a memory in your hands.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
If you’re wondering why Taylor Swift didn’t respond to your social media post offering congratulations on her engagement, then Cambridge Dictionary has a word for you: parasocial. 56 (define) as involving or relating to a connection that someone feels between themselves and a famous person they do not know, parasocial has been chosen by the dictionary as 57 (it) word of the year, as people turn 58 chatbots and celebrities to feel connection in their online lives. The term first 59 (emerge) in 1956 when University of Chicago sociologists observed TV viewers engaging in parasocial relationships with onscreen personalities, mirroring their bonds with family and 60 (friend) — except this was a one-way attachment. Opportunities for asymmetrical (不对称) relationships 61 (mushroom) in the internet era over the past few years, with social media and now artificial intelligence 62 (take) a niche (小众的) academic term into the mainstream. “Parasocial captures the 2025 zeitgeist (时代精神),” said Colin McIntosh, a Cambridge Dictionary editor. Millions of people are engaged in parasocial relationships; many more are 63 (simple) interested in their rise. Simone Schnall, professor of 64 (experiment) social psychology at the University of Cambridge, said parasocial relationships have redefined fandom, celebrity and how ordinary people interact online with AI. People have relied on influencers as trust in mainstream and traditional media breaks down, 65 can lead to unhealthy and intense relationships with social media stars.

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。
I never thought a group of stray (流浪的) cats would turn our quiet community into a place of conflict until last month. As a senior high school student who loves animals, I had been feeding the three stray cats near the community gate for half a year. They were gentle — one black, one orange, and one white with patches — and they’d greet me every afternoon after school, their tails waving softly.
But things started to go wrong. More neighbors noticed the cats and began bringing food: some left bowls of rice, some threw leftover bones, and others put out milk. At first, I was glad the cats were getting more care. However, the situation soon spiraled (急剧恶化) out of control. Food bowls piled up by the gate, attracting flies and ants in the summer heat. The leftover food smelled terrible when it went bad, making the entrance to our community an unpleasant place. What’s worse, a few more cats started wandering into residents’ yards, knocking over flower pots and leaving fur on cars.
Complaints flooded the community group chat. “These cats are a nuisance (麻烦)!” one neighbor wrote. “Someone should drive them away!” another said angrily. A few animal lovers argued back, insisting we shouldn’t abandon the poor creatures. Tensions rose, and even my parents told me to stop feeding the cats, saying I was adding to the problem. I felt heartbroken — I didn’t want to give up on the cats, but I also hated seeing the community torn apart.
One evening, as I stood by the gate watching the cats eat quietly, Ms. Li, our community manager, walked over. She didn’t scold me, but instead sighed and said, “We need a solution that works for everyone, not just the cats or the people who love them. ” Her words gave me an idea. That night, I stayed up late, writing down a plan. The next morning, I went to see Ms. Li again, holding my notebook tightly. I hoped my plan would put an end to the conflict and save the stray cats.
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。
Ms. Li praised my plan and agreed to help me put it into practice.
